That's interesting. I have a browser extension on my GitHub that added IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, etc., ratings and access to reviews to streaming services that I subscribe to. I doubt that could've been the basis of getting a job at those places but it was a fun project, regardless, and I got value of of it while I was using it. No idea if it still works, but I assume not
As much as I am nostalgic, I agree with this. So many people here say how intuitive icons were, but which one of you can explain the meaning of the 5th icon on the first picture in the article, the one with an app window in front of a folder? I used Windows starting with 95, so it probably saw it many-many times. But now it is impossible to either remember or guess its meaning.
You have to be really vigilant to not end up with a microsoft account instead of a local account. Especially if you work with anything microsoft store or minecraft.
They are well connected, I'd guess.
man, from my memory, if you were getting 250, you were incredibly lucky and probably lived close to the exchange :)

300-350 was more the norm for where i was.

MOOF!!!
If the point of allowing trading is better price discovery, then banning insider trading doesn't make all that much sense, because the insiders are contributing information by improving the price.

(Also makes you wonder why analysts bother meeting with CEOs since the CEOs can't share non-public information.)
Interesting that it's running NeXTSTEP. We had not this but a different PA-RISC machine in the office where I worked running HP-UX.

If you click/open image in new tab/click again to zoom, you'll find it's much higher resolution than the in-page view. There's even a BeOS box in the top-right.
Finally with a standart USB port. So I guess it's time to buy a new one :-)
The older Sony Xperia phones look at lot like this, but unfortunately the new ones don’t.
Did any of that money go to Nvidia? They don't have fabs.
> Windows does all of those, in addition to fine grained access controls.

Aren't those still user-based? So, in the typical case of a single-user computer, a rogue app that I run with my account would be able to access my data.

There's the protected folders thing (not sure about the name) since a few versions ago, which attempts to block random apps from accessing random folders.

But it's opt-in (folders are not protected by default, you have to add them one by one). It's also all or nothing: either a given app is "untrusted" and it can't access any of the protected folders, or it's "trusted" and it can access all of them.

I can't say I trust Photoshop to only touch my pictures folder, but not my .ssh folder.
I’m quite shocked Bill Gates’ email was so nice. Can you imagine if it had been Linus Torvalds or Steve Jobs? Maybe that explains how it got that way.
Exactly. The lights create a kind of moral hazard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_hazard
If the project is for non-technical folks, is there sufficient awareness about how to use extensions at this stage?

Also no mobile seems like a big deal
Discussion at the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28086265
knowing it would cost that much ahead of time would let the purchaser and engineer work together to determine if it would be more cost-effective to swap that part out for a similarly specced but less expensive chip, or rework the circuit to use a slightly different chip, perhaps with two chips instead, or more jellybeans to make up the lost functionality

a ten million dollar machine missing a 45 cent part probably costs a few hundred thousand to redesign around that part. a mass market vehicle that needs multiple of those part per SKU would be cheaper to re-engineer
You can still do it with awk, but with different "ergonomics":

awk -F= '$2 ~ /[0-9]+/ { print $2 }'

With imaginative choice of FS and RS you can push it very far.

Whether other people having to deal with such code will appreciate your imagination is another matter, though.

Edit: I missed the detail where you want to specifically match "foo" as lhs, and anywhere on the line. So the correct condition would be even lengthier : ^ ) You have a valid point. Captures would provide for shorter patterns.

The US already "makes" commercial and residential building developers dedicate large proportions of their lots to meet minimum parking requirements in order to make it easier for people who want to drive do so. Is this "pretty arrogant" as well?
How does that address map hacking?
KDE is great. The customizability really makes it shine above Gnome. I use AwesomeWM and some KDE apps like Dolphin.
Getting the timeline right: Fiorina didn't initiate the spinoff of Agilent, but she carried it out.

She took the sexier but less profitable part (the computers) and tried to juice it up with stupid mergers (EDS and Compaq), and of course those TV commercials, which impressed no one. And then followed a couple of terrible CEOs who completed the destruction she'd started.

The Compaq merger was one of the most bitter proxy battles in history; they actually rented out Flint Center, a massive concert venue, to have the meeting.

===============

Agilent was established in 1999 as a spin-off from Hewlett-Packard. [1]

Although the decision to spin off the company's analytical instruments division pre-dated her arrival, one of her first major responsibilities as chief executive was overseeing the separation of the unit into the stand-alone Agilent Technologies. [2]

Agreed. I am suggesting that the technical environment can make certain cultures mores easier or harder to do.

Cultural change is hard enough, so getting as many of the technical nudges as you can, is good.
Just make sure your parents aren't using that money for stuffs like gambling.
It’s like you are describing my employer…
That does seem like a good application for it. If one thinks something is in the corpus many times (various GTK idioms), chatgpt is pretty good at a type of syntactic composition...e.g., "can you show it to me in rust"
lol this is flagged (and I can't seem to vouch) but the parent is a PR employee of Stripe and didn't disclose that until challenged.
Feels really nostalgic.

I was definitely around when all we had were 32x32 ICOs and "Windows Classic" (RIP).

All of these look old as hell now.

What's interesting is that while Windows 2000 is completely unrecognizable from Windows 11 (mmc, winver, and devmgmt.msc aside), OS X Jaguar looks and feels the same as macOS Ventura (System Prefs aside), just way more skeumorphic. Same with iOS (it basically hasn't changed since iOS 7).

I think that's a testament to how insanely talented the designers at Apple are/were.
>You have no idea how hard it is to find medical staff, like doctors and nurses, for one

This is a result of caps on medical school residency positions. The number of doctors per person in the US has actually steadily decreased over the last century, due to measures the AMA lobbied for to restrict the supply of doctors (and hence increase the amount doctors are paid).
> However, you built your something with a foundation out of your control.

The trouble isn't this necessarily; a lot of business models don't exist unless another company does. The App Store is a good example of this; if Apple just disappears then so many other businesses disappear with it.

The trouble is the fact that the relationship between these two parties is so one-sided. Unless these third party Twitter clients have some sort of contractual foundation to stand upon, then yeah, what they've enjoyed so far is basically akin to an ad-hoc, at-will support, that can be terminated at any time with no notice, for no reason.
This is partly a UK view. The UK is in serious trouble. GDP is down 10% since Brexit. The combination of Brexit, COVID, and several incompetent government in a row has just been too much.
I haven’t looked in years but last time I checked there was a real lack of any well-documented guides of how to get things going. I managed just by trial and error but I would hardly call it fun, it left me wondering how anyone makes any complex extensions without going insane.

Maybe there’s a missing manual somewhere that I just couldn’t find, but it all just seemed pretty annoying/painful. Tooling and debugging experience was really lacking.

EDIT: This is specifically regarding chrome extensions.
Thanks! I actually am just looking into this now. It looks like a lot of progress is being made (https://github.com/jart/blink/issues/8#issuecomment-13832849...). I will follow this closely and try and integrate something as soon as I see some good demos or a way to get a POC up. Thanks for the support!
Yes, that's exactly what I was aiming at, but it is also in contrast to what

People would just double click the PDF file and it will open in the PDF viewer.. not sure why would you want to know beforehand about what is the PDF viewer name.

These will be low powered computers. KDE's Kwin allows you to disable compositor, which is essential on low powered computers to make things not sluggish, GNOME's mutter doesn't allow that and it will feel very sluggish.
Well sure. You could just play with your friends. But some people insist on playing with strangers?
One of the reasons i liked and bought the xperia pro-i was this design style. Unfortunately it has really bad battery life.
The maths from Twitter's probably is that those users mostly are power users producing a lot of content other users want to see. If they leave the platform Twitter could risk losing more.
TBF this is a YC property, seems one of the more likely locations for maximalist hypercapitalism to be considered good and even aspirational.
Or we can copy just implement universal healthcare like everyone else.

Seriously literally every other developed country has single-payer. The only reason the US doesn't is we got unlucky with how Healthcare originated in the US. For us it started as workers comp, as opposed to other countries where it started as Healthcare.
Thanks homie!
I’ve worked for 2 companies so far which maintain a bit of Android code and neither used Kotlin. GitHub search for “#android language:Java” reports 49K repositories, while “#android language:kotlin” reports 25K repositories. GitHub is biased towards greenfield projects, not legacy corporate codebases, so I’d expect the ratio of Java to Kotlin code in non-open-source software to be much higher. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more than 10 times higher.
I think the concept of technical debt is a kind of corporate culture. it can be repaid over time, but it's likely to reappear unless you reduce the things that caused it. that is, of course, it cannot be completely eliminated. but for example, things like serially redundant feature development can be reduced.
> Some people have no problem ignoring negativity and moving on. Others get satisfaction in hitting the block button.

Not sure if you were trying to set up this dichotomy, but there's a middle ground here where you recognize yourself as someone who has trouble letting it go and can use the block button to help you ignore and move on without feeling perversely satisfied by it.
So I don’t know if there’s any good answers to this but in a world without any copyright today you would have some $tech_giant scooping all copyrighted content in real time and streaming it for pennies. There would be no avenue at all for someone to make money on the actual content. It would all have to be side-channels like merch and product placements. Distributors would make money on ads and subscription dollars but none of it would get back to the creators. Musicians at least have live performances but the spiritual equivalent, theaters, are no different than the streaming service and wouldn’t pay either. Nobody would have to license art for prints, shirts, use by other businesses.

Copyright sucks in so many ways but replacing it with nothing at all would actually kill creative industries. My personal ideal solution is copyright with fair (as to be determined by courts so you can’t charge $1e100) mandatory licensing. Wanna make a derivative work, use someone’s art, show a movie, have a
show on your streaming service? As long as you pay the royalties nobody can tell you no.
I hacked it up in Toit :-)

Not the prettiest code, but it's in the examples directory at
https://github.com/toitware/toit-png-display if anyone cares.
There's a lot of different m.2 sockets. This m.2 has a PCIe not a SATA connection. You'd need not a breakout board, but an actual SATA adapter with a PCIe <-> SATA chip on it. Still cheap, not a big barrier, but the terminology of "breakout board" is quite incorrect.

the same will happen to reddit as well I think. then I will truly have no social media presence other than linkedin at all
KDE hasn't gotten more resource intensive on my laptop (turns 7 soon) since it was when I installed it in mid 2016. It probably uses a 200-300 more MB of ram compared to XFCE, but the number of tabs open in my web-browser dominates any other memory usage on my system.

The only thing that slowed my system down was the file indexer (Baloo); some people have said better now, but I never re-enabled it.
> Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is not usable. This program listing was one sane place but now it is all crapped up.

This made me laugh out loud
By the way. Did anyone try to use a large sd-card as storage ?

I meant 256-512GB. In my logic it must decrease power consumption when keeping the same IO performance as external ssd connected through USB.
Tech debt in Machine learning systems
Ham Radios Is Dead – Nationwide Offgrid Comms – No Random Contacts
None of those matter.

There are plenty of good reasons why Twitter might not be comfortable giving ads as an API, and that means they're giving away their resources for free by providing these APIs.

Also, Twitter is a more mature platform now. They probably don't feel like they need the innovation from these apps anymore. But that misses the point, small changes like the view count on tweets are added to improve engagement / profit, so Twitter wants full control of what is seen.

Again, it probably does not help Twitter to support these people, even if they are a small part of the user base. Same mindset as banning competitor links in your bio.
No, it's the other way around. The article from The Verge that you substituted points to and is based upon (after it was updated) the original source post by Paul Haddad that I gave, which didn't point to anything. Notice that the post referenced is the one in the large font, not the one at the top. (-:
Tech Debt Friday worked for this team, good for them. It will probably not work for another team.

Tech debt is never ending discussion. But ask yourself: why is almost every team struggles figuring out how much time to dedicate to tech debt? Why is there a constant tension between engineering and management?

The answer is simple: engineers and business people don't understand each other. We live in different worlds and speak different languages. You can't solve this problem with a methodology. If Tech Debt Friday or Google's 20% works for you, that's just luck (or wishful thinking).

Once you understand where the problem is coming from, the solution is also simple: find someone who speaks both languages and trust them to decide. Typically that person is a product engineer: it's easier to explain business to an engineer than engineering to a business person.

And when I say trust, I mean both engineering and management should do it. I.e. if that person says a couple of outages is not a big deal, it's not a big deal. If that person says we need to spend next week refactoring, then that's what you spend your next week on. Obviously you can still challenge those decisions, but you have to accept that this person is an expert in their domain. They don't know everything, but they know more than you. Even if you're the CEO. Even if you're coming from FAANG with 20 years of experience.

That's why companies where founder is a product engineer typically don't have a tech debt problem (they still have tech debt, they just don't have a problem with it).

I know it sucks to not have a mathematical or managerial solution to tech debt, but the tech debt is inherently complex and humane. Tech debt happens when humans are solving problems for other humans. The only solution to it is to have another human in between. The quality of that solution will depend on the quality of that human. It's not going to be perfect. But it's the best you can do.

All other approaches are just shots in the dark.
> There is no perceptible difference

This is often not the case. We're not talking about subtle interpolation differences. Depending on the drive, and the disc, bad rips can be full of music skips, clicks, and pops. It's really annoying to find this out days later after you ripped something. Better to get it right first time.
And the set had some annoying style outliers like the trash bin
oh i actually have quite a few extensions that I made for my own use. i did make a small tab extension that I use every day that I did put in the app store for others. it's just a visual way to see what tabs you have open across all the windows and be able to switch to them or close them. super useful to my tab hoarding. links are in my bio
Yeah MacOS, where you can't even use Tab key to move focus on different UI controls.
Well these are the sorts of arguments I made on the V8 bug, and people were not happy.
The value for Twitter depends on who uses/used the client, what value they were providing to Twitter, and whether they'll stick around to continue providing that value.
Purely anecdotal, I track every single expense. And I buy food at the same place and in the same way for ages, but I have been tracking expenses only since December 2021, my grocery expenses were costing 1000$/month in January, now despite reducing my purchase of red meat, we spend 1400$/month now. I presume there are factors at play here (i have children), but the price increase is still remarkable.
And it applied an exciting washy flanger effect to the cymbals as well
Departing 4L mean that there are no 31L full length take-off (except very very heavy aircraft). 31L at KE does not conflict with 4L, nor does it require crossing 4L.
I disagree with never using your real name. The internet is a real place. Block liberally, absolutely. Use anon accounts liberally as well.
And you think that AWS won't just rip the rug out from under you someday when you're no longer profitable for them or "shifting to a different focus" happens?
I’m not knowledgeable at all, but I suspect there would be a DAC I could buy that’d make my iPhone sound just as good. Am I way off base?
Why do you think that it helps to be paying? What would prevent Twitter from doing the exact same thing in that scenario?
Tell HN: Poorly SEO’d tech is more searchable
When one searches what the DataTransfer object spec is in, the IANA article pops up and pretty much everything you need is there—or close.

As soon as you look for React related or for certain trendy Pythonic Data Science things, you are going to do a lot more filtering to find what you need. To the point that empirical analysis or source code understanding may have a better return of investment for your time.

Has this been the same for all of you? It certainly has for me.

This probably has a name, but I like to call it the quality-redundancy paradox: if there is information abundance to the point of over-redundancy, the harder it becomes to find what you need[1].

I thought about this because of the Django Auth post and how the web has gone to JWTs instead of good ol’ sessions; or how people use React in ways that are embarrassingly similar to how PHP or Rails (used to?) work.

I wonder if being aware of this phenomenon is something that experienced engineers take into account when choosing tools for the job.

I don't know, do you think Czechs will give Koenigsberg to Ukraine? Maybe Ukraine could trade if for Zakarpatie.
If you're on a Mac, I highly recommend PopClip (https://pilotmoon.com/popclip/). It works on any text you can select — across the whole OS. It's also context aware (so it knows if you're selecting a URL vs. regular text, for example).

There are plenty of plugins already available, but it's also possible to create your own very easily.

I had a quick Google and it seems there are similar apps available for Windows, but I don't know anything about them.

So why buy one of these over an Android phone and an external DAC/Amp?

Also 32gb? That's only a handful of highres audio.

I'm assuming the people buying this kind of thing are the same people buying higher than CD quality audio?
All of my recent interactions with Red Hat have been bad. Recently I had to fire them of a project they were supporting because they only wanted to use Red Hat certified container images, the image they were trying to deploy was configured to run as root for absolutely no reason, they refused to fix the image, and they refused to use a non-Red Hat image.

My second most recent interaction with Red Hat involves them sending an engineer to perform an Ansible Tower upgrade, only to find out the engineer they sent had no idea what he was doing, so we ended up teaching him how to upgrade Ansible Tower safely.

However, after thinking about it, I don’t think they properly illustrate the problem I’m talking about. Red Had incompetence is the sort of incompetence I’d expect from certain big enterprise vendors. They don’t have the “check your entitlement” attitude. They have the “we don’t care about you at all” sort of attitude that I would expect from say Oracle or Broadcom.

In my experience at least…
I have a diabetic child. There was a point in time where I had the high deductible plan with a max out of pocket of 10,500. When I ran the numbers for other plans, what I was allowed to save pretax, etc. the high deductible plan actually made economic sense. With bloodwork and prescriptions, I would hit that by September.
Are you sure that’s what I said?
I don't know why it's that way. My guess would be complexity. Yeah, they could fix that later, but they can't fix the fog of war cheat, which would also be pretty powerful.
I have a gut feeling that SerenityOS is going to have the same kind of progress that Linux had. Started as a little hobby side project "but nothing serious" but could eventually become something that ends up being a really useful. We will see where it is in another 5 years. Coming from a completely fresh base means that it has not gather the same technical legacy as others and that could really play to its hands in years to come.
So they are going to have to form an "ex-twitter" union if they want to get together to organize their fight to get from twitter what is owed to them.

Woulda saved a lot of time if they'd have organized before all this happened.
