> In Japan it's not uncommon to have someone exit the elevator and just as they exit, press the close button so the door will close immediately behind them. This is a "sorry I interrupted your time by having to stop the elevator" gesture. This wouldn't work in the USA because the light sensors would trigger the doors reopening.

Sounds annoying. If I see an elevator stop at a floor then I'd like a chance to actually get on it, instead of having my time wasted by a futile gesture that might save someone a second or two.

In every other industry you have to invest money upfront so you actually have a product to sell, and as the software industry matures the table stakes will continue to rise. People are only willing to use half-baked prototypes when they have no choice, but in more and more domains customers will have choice and expectations go up as a result

Fair point, but that's for a different discussion.

The question was how to "root" it out, not business priorities.

If you're unable to flag and audit an easily identifiable 400% cost increase year over year and +$100k in savings, then let's be honest about the value creation of your AP/Procurement teams.

This is how I cope with Java DI.

I write my classes with one constructor that takes anything I need as final private members.

This has the benefit of working with any DI framework without any annotations or other hacks.

It also has the benefit of being usable or callable without using a DI framework.

Guys, chill out.

"OOP has failed" should be read in context of the promise that everything can be effectively implemented with OOP, that you can make objects for everything and your entire program built out of it. The masses adopted it with pretty poor results -- and the poor results prompted people to say that "it has failed".

It just means that it has failed to live up to its promise. It does not mean OOP is not useful. Quite opposite, we have learned a lot about when it is very useful to use OOP. And also when it probably is a poor idea.

I personally mix and match OOP and functional styles. I will typically create objects to describe domain model because it is super useful to talk about operations on entities. But I will call these objects from functional context where it makes much more sense to create infrastructure from functions that can easily deal with different types of data.

No programming paradigm is clearly better than others and no programming paradigm is without flaws.

I would strongly suggest treating every person that says otherwise with extreme caution -- people tend to say these things at certain stages of their evolution as programmers until they have enough time to learn ins and outs of all things.

> GUIDs do not have a consistent sort order

I didn't write that they "have a consistent sort order" (they don't), I wrote that they will "consistently sort in the same order".

In other words I was not saying they are generated in a particular order, but that once you have them they will sort consistently - that is, requesting the data multiple times will always return them in the same order. In context it wasn't a comment about their inherent nature in any way, more about what the stable sorting might make people believe about that nature.

My point is that whilst both GUIDs and ULIDs have stable ordering (as per the above), the sort order of GUIDs very clearly has no meaning whereas the sort order of ULIDs gives the impression that it might without further consideration. This is simple fact; the issue is the weight you put on that fact. To me it is dangerous, but feel free to differ.
> What exactly is hard about running a fiat backed stablecoin?

That probably isn't what Tether is doing. They're likely running a crypto-loan backed stablecoin pegged to the dollar.

A fiat backed stablecoin is a bit useless since it just looks like bank deposits and withdrawals. Lending USDT against crypto collateral is both what they've explicitly stated that they're doing and it makes them look a bit more like a central bank (and the issuance of Tether tends to fuel trading bots that push the price of crypto up which leads to more issuance of Tether in a nice positive-feedback loop in a way that should make any student of supply and demand perfectly happy).

They've named their crypto-collateralized loans "Commercial Paper" which has been a huge success and managed to get literally everyone searching and speculating about what kinds of CP they've been buying up in the real world, when the real answer is pretty much none--creating a great distraction.

It is written in the form of a casual blog post. Really, all he is saying is that he doesn't respect these people on a personal level and "knows the type" (or what have you). If you disagree, that's fine, but if you want a more formal type of discourse, pay some journalists.

It also _does not_ strike me as "weird in context", but I guess you're just hoping people don't actually read the thing (which, fair enough - no one does here).

What would be illegal under this law? If a couple guys are sitting having a beer at home discussing their opinion on the difference in races and how some are better than others would that be illegal? If the neighbor overhead and turned them in, how long would they go to jail for over this private conversation that had previously been protected by the 1st? Would you advocate taking their children away from them? Does this law extend to people saying bad things about whites? What other speech would be outlawed as dangerous? What political ideas are banned? The 1st amendment exists for a very important reason. Restricting speech is a slippery slope that can rapidly lead to the party in power staying in power by banning opposing ideas.
rsync does use fixed-size chunks, but the rolling hash allows them to be identified even at non-integer chunk offsets.

So a change partway through the file doesn't force rsync to actually re-transfer all of the subsequent unmodified chunks, but it does incur a computational cost to find them since it has to search through all possible offsets.

>your greatest competitive advantage is your ability to move fast.

I don't want to come across as overly cynical, but I feel like there is a natural friction between this competitive advantage and certain domains in the health and/or critical infrastructure space, especially when "moving fast" can be at odds with quality. Safety-critical and regulated health domains don't seem like areas where moving fast is always viewed as an inherent good.

If I could have had that interrupt list and memory map (tables 1 & 2) when I was 16, that would have been a game changer. As it was, the machine was already obsolete when we thrift-stored it, so there was no way to get software or manuals besides what came with it. I still did a fair amount of BASIC and DOS-level assembly programming on it, but the hardware and BIOS was a black box.

It can be frustrating and downright hurtful to share a true, and in some ways deeply personal story, looking for an intellectual discussion on a fascinating neurocognitive phenomenon, only to be met with some low effort off the cuff remarks suggesting I might be an addict when I actively admit to being an addict! I'm not here to talk about my addiction issues, my comment was not a solicitation for out of context medical advice. I'm guilty of this myself, too, but I try my best not to after I got served my nth harrowing "you think I haven't tried that" tale like mine down below. If you want to talk to someone about their mental health issues, the only way I've found is to expose yourself and share your own experiences. This helps make them(us) feel less alone and isolated.

Thank you once again for understanding my point of view. A glimmer of light in an otherwise depressingly unproductive thread.

Why would we just assume that a skirt would be included if the wearer is in a public space and it blows up or somwthing? These sorts or unexplained inclusions/exceptions are could very well be applied to "I assume sticking a mic/camera in someone's face is an invasion of privacy".

Chess is a very large but finite system. It's also a game largely based on memorization. Both things are handled extremely by computers. I consider terms like "self-learning" to be disingenuous or at best an exaggeration. At the moment it is not possible for a machine to make art because it has no consciousness. By definition art can only be made by a human mostly because we have agency.

It has been more than 5 years since they were audited. By their own admission, they have 10 billion of their 66 billion dollars in unsecured loans and "other investments".

Art is made by a human using the tool to create the image, such as a photographer using a machine called a "camera", a digital artist using a computer, or a traditional artist using a paintbrush, also you seem to have completely ignored the part where I state how absurd it is to call it "theft."
Or just create two versions of the constructor - one that takes the arg, and one that doesn't.

The one that doesn't does whatever magic you were planning for the DI, does that, then calls the constructor with the arg.

Having grown up in Boulder, Colorado, one of the epicenters of self-regarding, American Buddhism, the author's skepticism is relatable.

I imagine that almost every kid from Boulder goes through a Buddhist phase. Some come out the other end with useful introspective skills. Hopefully, they also managed not to acquire the odor of self-righteousness in the process. But the chances of avoiding this actually seem pretty slim. I knew a lot of folks in the scene who came off like caricatures. And of course their practice didn't seem to bring them any recognizable successes in life.

That being said, it still feels like Buddhism has more of an empirical quality than any other major belief system I've encountered. But, practically speaking, the difference ends up seeming marginal. At the end of the day, it's still a religion. It takes an unusual kind of personal to distill something useful from becoming involved with it.
It makes me sad that many people will use this as an opportunity to write off Buddhist practices. Please don't! It has personally helped me greatly. Just remember:

1. The goal is to end suffering, so if a practice is making you suffer stop doing it.

2. Do what works for you. The only truth is what you can directly experience in the laboratory of your life. All the other teachings are just suggestions.

And if you'd like a concise overview of Theravada Buddhism (which is somewhat easier to grok without the added teachings of Mahayana, Vajrayana, Zen, etc.) I highly recommend [1] and [2], the second of which can be read in a day or two.

> Those people are just being themselves.

That’s technically true but in practice useless. Nobody knows how to do almost anything ‘naturally’ in the sense you’re using the word because we have learned to do practically everything. Yes I know there’s nature versus nurture, and innate nature is a thing, but in practice our social interactions are very largely learned.

Do you think it’s possible for people to learn and change? What you are arguing is that what that person learned up until then is the real ‘natural’ them and anything they learn after is somehow unnatural. Do I even need to take that line of reasoning any further?
I have been part of a Tibetan sect (a Western sect associated with Karma Kagyu). The people there said that Tibetan Buddhism was the most advanced form of Buddhism. But also that it was only for those who were ready for it. Theravada Buddhism to them would be the simplest form: less powerful but probably also less dangerous.

Those people wouldn’t for one second judge a person who wanted to practice a “less advanced” form of Buddhism. It’s all about what the person is ready for, according to them.

Ask HN: Does reading technical books help your software engineering career?
It is the beginning of the year and so I am putting together my annual list of technical books that I would like to read this year. However, I am beginning to feel that reading these books is not having much of an effect on my performance at work. I also get the feeling that my colleagues consider the practice of reading physical books on technical topics a bit of a fool's errand.

Do people here feel that this is a useful practice or are there better, more efficient ways to improve one's technical skills outside of the daily learning process on the job?
> “This implementation is difficult to unit test.” Horsepucky.

No, this implementation is difficult to unit test. The rebuttal, “Just make a constructor […]” changes the implementation. The author’s zeal to decry DI frameworks has made him forget for a moment that constructor injection looks the same whether a framework is involved or not.
Jesus, a kid walked up to him and then apologized after seeing annoyed face. There is no bigger issue. I personally know kids who tried something similar playing at journalists almost 30 years ago.

I’m definitely open to the idea that we should change how we refer to other findings, but EndNote, Zotero, and the like also can’t save you from new editions, overly-strict rules about reference formatting, and bad publisher-provided information.

A veterinary clinic local to me tried an AI service that attempted to diagnose issues found in x-ray images. It was a pretty slick set up, they just had to wire up their image archiving system to the service's endpoint, and then sending it to the service was as easy as a button press. I think they said it cost $10 per shot.

They had it for awhile and then dropped it. Said they didn't feel it was really delivering any value. It wasn't catching anything they missed, and they didn't want to trust it too much in case it one day it missed something they missed.

I can't remember the name of the company, but I remember thinking maybe they might find better use repackaging it as a product to help train human students.
