Junior developers often can't tell the difference between "I don't have the skill to do this" and "I don't have access/knowledge of internal processes to do this."

You can bang your head against the latter forever without making progress, especially if it's un/semi-documented, mostly tribal knowledge.

And the best way you're able to guess at it is by prior experience at other companies, which junior developers don't have.
> Except that you have to write them out by hand for every property you want in your code. Or generate them.

Our analysis has determined that the vast majority of getters and setters are used in classes that are better replaced by records anyway (with all the benefits records bring that go far beyond conciseness, such as safe serialization and correct interaction with collections). The remaining cases are not numerous enough to pose a large enough problem that justifies an ad-hoc language construct, but could be further helped by a more general mechanism, such as concise method bodies (https://openjdk.org/jeps/8209434). The result is a smaller number of much more powerful features.

In other words, rather than making getters and setters easier to write, we simply get rid of the need for most of them altogether, which not only saves us a language feature, but also the downsides that setters and getters (or properties) have. We preferred tackling the problem at its source by asking what causes the need to write so many getters and setters in the first place (Java's lack of good data manipulation constructs) rather than treating the symptom (writing getters and setters is tedious).
All the ones we know of are doing mini splits and heat pump hot water, and we had no problem getting quotes and even recommendations.
There was joke in the Soviet Union "if you see a line, get in it."

It didn't matter if the line was for toilet paper and you had enough. You'd get some extra toilet paper and barter with someone who had extra laundry detergent and not enough TP.

This was common Soviet experience.

It's somewhat surprising to me that Yeltsin, who was obviously high up in the party apparatus, was surprised at the plenty of the US, but nevertheless my point is that the story is not apocryphal.

Was it a trigger for the collapse of the Soviet Union? Honestly, probably. One among many.
Who says there aren't already silent ones out there running already? And this has been my point in replies, it's coming one way or another - do you want to own it (as a community) or do would they rather wait until it's too late, and they've also pushed anyway any support to stop it?
> What you're missing is that there have been many titles that have reduced the mechanical demands in pursuit of "greater accessibility", and have been even less popular. That's been most RTSes over the last 15 years, really. They're always talking about how they wanna get rid of the clickiness or base building or what have you.

I'm not convinced this is accurate. I'm of the opinion that by the time AoE 3 came out the fire was gone from the genre because people did not like playing the multiplayer.

Excessive micro sucks, but that's not really the main thesis of my argument. It's more so that the traditional "Random Map Battle" mode is really devoid of strategy for the majority of players because you have so few real choices to make. You don't get to do much strategy. You probably have a build order for several minutes. And then want to rush. That's almost always the optimal move until you're very, very talented. I can't think of any competitive multiplayer focused RTS games that tried to address that successfully.

> Nah, what points the way forward is SC2's co-op mode. That was extremely popular among more casual players -- being more popular than ranked ladder at least for a time -- despite getting only limited support as a new feature in LotV.

> And the way SC2 co-op worked is that it had the same mechanical inputs of course, but it actually had less strategy, not more; similar to campaign AI's, the AI in co-op mode is largely scripted and predictable, no scouting and very little reacting required. People loved it!

I'm amused because I feel that was MY point. Single player (and naturally also co-op) content against scripted scenarios was the best part of RTS games. It's where the genre was born. You get to ask yourself "What am I going to do" and come up with a plan. My point is that you DON'T get to do that with Random Map Battle RTS games in competitive multiplayer. Instead you largely just get punished for not doing the meta plan; or worse, get punished because your execution of the meta plan is worse.
Something wrong, yank?

Ask HN: Would the internet be better if domain squatting was made illegal?
Seems like all domains that are either short or catchy are taken and nothing exists if I go to them. I'm curious what you all think. Should a policy be made to stop the bad behaviour? Would it make the internet better or would things stay the same? Sure, someone can always make a long domain name or use .whatever but it seems like the popular websites rarely ever follow that example.
Perhaps you need some help on how to discourage them. Maybe ask a model how they get rid of unwanted attention?

So, someone expects you to be techy: start a monologue on the Byzantine General's problem and how it relates to database design choices. Create your own geeky obsession on the topic of the mating habits of spiders (which is actually extremely interesting, so use with care).

Make it a fun game for yourself and your friends, to find the most effective one-sentence blockers?!

"Would you be interested in a business opportunity in Amway? (in excited tones)"

Use the opportunity to learn the soft art of getting people to leave you alone. Unwanted attention can come from any direction in your future too.
It astonishes me that a "thing" that has no real value except speculation and "get rich quick" schemes after more than a decade is still being sold for 20K per unit. Amazing.
>And mistakes by installers will cost even more.

I once looked at a house with a new GSHP horizontal loop installed in the desert southwest US. I talked to the installer and they said the loop was only 12” deep. There’s no way the ground maintains steady temp at that depth, meaning you’re losing efficiency in the hot months when you need it most. Not to mention thermal pollution which will exacerbate the problem and the risk of hitting the loop with even minor ground work. They were adamant it was a good design.

Unfortunately, many installers jump on the bandwagon without the necessary expertise.
We're only talking about a 90 day period though. If you do find out you need COBRA within the 90 day window, then you have to backpay what the cost would have been had you signed up for COBRA in the first place. So, you are not really saving anything in that particular case.

I suppose the ideal scenario would be to not sign up for COBRA, and hopefully find a job within that 90 day enrollment period. If that does not happen, then perhaps look into one of the ACA plans assuming you can find something that fits your needs, what you can afford, etc..
I had never heard of reverse cargo-cult before, thank you for the explanation and example

It really exposes the motivation for otherwise mystifying behavior!
I stand corrected. Apparently 60% humidity or so is the line. That said, I live in Florida and haven't ever had an issue, but maybe that's because the A/C runs so much anyway...
Thermal infrared doesn't go through glass. You only lose a negligible amount of visible light. It's still 100% efficient as an integer percent.
The architecture of the docker image matters. If you build a docker image on an ARM machine (like a m1 or m2 Mac) you can't run it in x86 architecture (like a T3 or M5 AWS instance). If you build on x86 architecture, you can't run it on ARM architecture.

That is, unless you use Docker's cross platform build capability (buildx). Which was still considered experimental the last time I looked at it (about a year ago).
Just work from home dude, you'll find you can't just quit.

Society won't let you unless you go full drifter and only certain people have a personality for it.
We may see an interesting few years for tech going forward. The path for software engineers the last 10 years was to move into the biggest company you could… and then stay there.

A college grad who joined FB in 2012 would have made more money at FB than any other likely alternative including founding their own firm. The same was true for at least a dozen large firms. These big firms came with the added benefit that one didn’t have to worry that your 12 hour days of toil would lead to a layoff at the end.
> Finally, doesn’t the fact that apple has a fundamentally different rendering pipeline relevant?

Is it still all that fundamentally different? All of the RDNA parts are tile-based renderers (I think even the Vega series GCN parts made that switch?)
Hey, if being in nature makes you happy good for you but your outlook on the rest is kind of crap.

Me, best time in my life, commuting in Tokyo to my jobs working on a project I loved with people I loved. All the ads on the trains were eye candy to me. I didn't buy anything that I remember but I did find out about museums, concerts, and other events around town as well as various obscure services which I never used but was amused to read about.

Drinking with my buddies, including work buddies about once a week was great. Clubbing, going to restaurants, and going to events of the kind that generally only happen in giant cities was lovely.

I like the occasional trip to nature but as for me I'll pick the city and the public transportation. I love it!
At the risk of sounding contrarian, I don’t think it’s mind-boggling at all. There are two types of software engineers out there: those who read to understand, and those who understand to read. What I mean by this is that I find most of my coworkers “read to understand”- they don’t know X (or, more commonly, they don’t understand X and want to prove the person who wrote “X” wrong), so they Google around until they find an SO that supports their stance, or gets them code that does what they want it to do…. Then there are those who understand that to be truly great is to read beyond the minimum needed to achieve the goal, be it to get software to do X, to prove someone wrong in code review, or something else… and to READ for pleasure and to quench the thirst of knowledge. The passionate folk, in other words.
Most of the time you can find out which group a person falls into by whether they read about and write code in their free time. Kind of like leetcode, this litmus test I find has a low false-positive rate, but a relatively high false-negative rate, as there are many passionate engineers who don’t have the time or energy to read and write in their free time (typically a “wife and kids” scenario).

E: in other words, those who code to live vs live to code.
That sounds like an issue with your install, I've never experienced any of those issues and I would be surprised if it's a common issue considering the freedesktop.org stuff. https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/

The whole interoperability between desktop frameworks isn't always _perfect_, but it's worked fairly well for probably 10+ years for me (been using linux since the 90's).
I mean here's the problem:

You don't actually even really see her. Mammy appears for like 5-10 seconds in a handful of episodes and all she does is hit Tom or tell him to catch that mouse. At best, as a kid, you could inference that she's mean to Tom and hits him for not catching Jerry. That's literally it. If that's enough to cause people to go into a tirade of unabashed racism, them yeah, America is absolutely fucked and throttled.

But racism today is so much more constrained and things are so much better now that the fact that you think this is problem today is quite frankly offensive.
I had the same thought about the twitter link. I also find that many people decide to disconnect from the "rat race" and explore the mountains and be one with the earth...often after you're already set up from your racing days that you can afford to adventure off like that.

But yes, good for him. I also like the mountains.
I mean, yeah, what do expect to happen when you drive mom and pop out of business with lockdowns while allowing your cronies to keep their big box and online stores open?
You don't like Zig's solution? I think it's excellent. Normal zig code, executed at compile-time. No magic, no macros, fully compile-time error-checked formatting.

After getting up to FANNG-esque levels and seeing the “mountain top”, I’m done too. I’m not sure when or why decide to climb the latter but upon reflection, it just seems so empty. I’m planning on a career change within the next 5 years. Unshackling from the golden handcuffs takes time, especially with a family.
The growth was staggering because they stole grain and farmland from their citizens, exported it to buy machinery because the USSR couldn't manufacture themselves, which was also wasted since they didn't have the ability to keep the machines maintained properly.

So yeah, turns out you can do things if you starve your people to death. (See North Korea)
It’s a short piece, but it resonates with me, specifically this part:

> I’m earning the most money I’ve ever made and yet I’m the least fulfilled I’ve ever been.

I’m making the most I’ve ever made and I’ve never been less happy and more depressed. I despise being a cog in a huge corporate machine, it’s like the job was designed to be as unappealing as possible.

At the same time I can’t get over the fact that I have it better than the vast majority of humanity. I feel guilty hating my job, I won’t complain to people IRL because how could I? I have it made by all accounts. This guilt completely consumes me and adds a special level of self hatred, if I’m not happy with this, maybe I never will be?

Unlike the author though I can’t just quit, so endure it I must.
an example of this is used for modals in daisyui -> https://daisyui.com/components/modal/#

Funny, I was this guy 23 years ago working in London for Credit Suisse. It’s clear in investment banks that you can just keep doing that forever and get paid what most would consider a lot for doing routine stuff. What bugged me is that I’d stopped growing and wasn’t challenged. I quit and joined a fast growing dot com in 2000, met my wife, moved to the states and we’ve had one hell of an adventure since then. Sometimes you just need to pick a different path outside the current comfort zone, and that comes with risk, but the rewards can be amazing.
Did you not read? It's very easy to migrate from the common password managers into Pass.

Migrating to pass

To free password data from the clutches of other (bloated) password managers, various users have come up with different password store organizations that work best for them. Some users have contributed scripts to help import passwords from other programs:

1password2pass.rb: imports 1Password txt or 1pif data
keepassx2pass.py: imports KeepassX XML data
keepass2csv2pass.py: imports Keepass2 CSV data
keepass2pass.py: imports Keepass2 XML data
fpm2pass.pl: imports Figaro's Password Manager XML data
lastpass2pass.rb: imports Lastpass CSV data
kedpm2pass.py: imports Ked Password Manager data
revelation2pass.py: imports Revelation Password Manager data
gorilla2pass.rb: imports Password Gorilla data
pwsafe2pass.sh: imports PWSafe data
kwallet2pass.py: imports KWallet data
roboform2pass.rb: imports Roboform data
password-exporter2pass.py: imports password-exporter data
pwsafe2pass.py: imports pwsafe data
firefox_decrypt: full blown Firefox password interface, which supports exporting to pass
If you're well-off, have no dependents, and can also work remotely, why not enjoy the mountains, the nature, the beauty of the great outside? Do yourself a favour.
Just have tubs of water. Dump them once they’re ice.

Yes, more efficient than a resistance heater. Possibly more cost efficient than gas.

Wastes a lot of water (if you don’t have a well).

A fridge is just a heat pump.
> Slow as heck tho compared to on a dedicated card.

It's important to mention that there is a huge difference in performance between a new MacBook with 8 GB or 16 GB of RAM when it comes to this memory-intensive ML tasks.

View all short term price predictions (and indeed, players) with cynicism. Even, to some degree, the linked article, insofar as it may claim to present a 'master plan' for the hows and whys of market movements.

No external observer has all the pertinent info, and individuals thinking that they (or others they listen to) do reliably have that information, is the general psychological driver that moves a great deal of the money involved in these quasi-casinobanks of the fledgling crypto industry.
Interesting. But I assume it's not a separate function from cooling, right? It might just over-cool the house in order to meet the humidity target?
> The Apple Watch could be the next big thing that replaces the smartphone

I feel like this is a technological limitation of sorts.
I might be a bit harsh, but this is a typical western le bon sauvage misunderstanding about what goes on in the wilderness. I also grew up in the mountains (of Eastern Europe), and I equally despise the eye-rolling fakery and the hustle and bustle of modern day Los Angeles. I love camping, and I surf, and kayak, scuba dive, offroad, and explore. But I don't make the category mistake of thinking the former is somehow better than the latter. I love the outdoors, but more importantly: I respect it.

In LA, I have the luxury of clean water, sewage, medicine, a decent cocktail, and, like OP, make a decent living. It's easy to decry modern society because you're not "happy" but, imo, that says more about you than it does about what you do.

Don't think the mountains, or the oceans, or the deserts are an idyllic virginal untouched Eden. You're going to end up getting yourself killed like the Into the Wild guy.
My grandfather was born in St. Petersburg (then Leningrad) and lived there as a child through the Nazi siege. In the 40's and 50's in the USSR he and his friends saw through the propaganda and knew that things in the US were much better.

But you know what's strange? He lives in NJ now, he's been there for the last 25 years. He watches Russian state TV and also CNN and thinks he gets both perspectives. When Russia invaded Ukraine, he defended Russia, and spit out all the lines about the "nazi leadership" of Ukraine. "Bucha was faked," all that. I think he realized that he was in the minority and toned it down, but this definitely made an impression on me. It's not that certain people are immune to propaganda and some aren't. Anybody can fall into it.
It's bad and should be fixed either way.

It's also an annoyance rather than what the title says:

Sure, in the same way that most DE's will give you a GUI for adjusting monitor layout, but it actually working has nothing to do with the DE itself and everything to do with the underlying distro/OS.
As an iCloud user, this is absolutely terrifying. Apple needs to fix this _yesterday_, and close the relevant holes.
I am in my mid 20s. I have about $200k saved and I think about quitting everyday, even though it would probably be disastrous for my career.

I look up and I see colleagues in their 40s-50s. 20-30 years of experience in the industry, with the performance of their RSUs they probably easily have $2m+ net worth. I really don't understand why they don't quit.

Just a naive example: Buy a cheap house ($250k) and live off of $40k/year for the next 40 years ($1.6m). You can always freelance or do extra work on the side if you want to splurge on a vacation or major purchase.

And I "enjoy" my job. It is comfy and interesting most days. But it is just such a massive time sink, after accounting for the chores of life and the "ramp up" and "ramp down" time before work, it honestly feels like I have maybe 2-3 hours a day on the weekdays of time that I can honestly say is my own. I can't imagine doing this tradeoff for another 15 years, but we'll see.

Props to the OP for having the courage to do this. I hope I can muster up some of the same courage soon.
The sooner we can train/run these models locally the better.

This will rapidly become impossible. The best models will be guarded like the Manhattan Project.
> Most other people will use a popular distribution like Ubuntu or Fedora which work out of the box with secure boot enabled.

I installed Fedora on a Thinkpad recently and it most definitely did not work OOTB. I had to enable the third party cert in the BIOS. Not sure about other vendors
Yea, that does suck. They are clear in their documentation when it says "Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch Series 8, and Apple Watch SE require an iPhone 8 or later with iOS 16 or later."

But it's buried in a giant page of fine print that you'd have to know to go looking for. Of course if you know to look for it, then you probably don't need the information.

Anyways, I agree that it sucks to have such a limit to JUST an iPhone. It would be nice if it worked with an iPad as well (which is really you're only other option). But the watch, watch app and others make implicit assumptions. For example your iPhone app, which is separate from the iPad app, also has the support for the watch built in (aka the watch specific apps). The iPad apps would currently not have this, because that isn't how it works. Could that change? Sure. But I would guess there are a lot of other implicit assumptions made that we're not aware of.

Lets be honest... Apple would be happy to sell you a watch AND an iPad. You'd be very likely to eventually get the Phone as well. But realistically that's not the direction most people go. They get a Phone first, then maybe they get the watch or iPad.
Feels like you just need some long holidays
In the linked document they say to only do it with @gmail.com addresses.
Posts like this frustrate me.

"I'm quitting! But I'm not telling you anything about how I plan to pay for life."

The message mostly resonates with me, right up until they leave out the most crucial part of the post. How do you escape the rat race, and still pay for things like health care, food, rent, etc.

Even if you're making $100k+ a year, those costs aren't insignificant. No how do you handle them making $0k a year?
I feel like the number of such chips required for “production scaling” would be so low that they could find a cache of said chips for said purpose if they wanted/needed to.
Sorry, what do you mean that it got rated?
"The truth is: nothing I’ve done or experienced in this place has given me any experience comparable to walking along the ridge between two mountains. Nothing has made me feel alive like getting in to freezing cold water despite my body screaming at me not to. Nothing has made me feel anything like that feeling when you summit a mountain after 2 hours of solid climbing in the rain, and the clouds part to reveal the most spectacular and breathtaking view you’ve ever seen."

This is the tricky part. If you're in the rat race, the feelings you get in the mountains are way more intense.

If mountains become your life, it won't be long until they become the norm, making you flee back to some urban jungle.

It's the contrast in your life that matter.
Also true! My point was just that it wasn't malicious of them to not initially build a feature they didn't intend to use.
How do you identify who is squatting and who isn't?
