Show HN: Enc – A modern and friendly CLI alternative to GnuPG
Enc is a CLI tool for encryption, a modern and friendly alternative to GnuPG. It is easy to use, secure by default and can encrypt and decrypt files using password or encryption keys, manage and download keys, and sign data. Our goal was to make encryption available to all engineers without the need to learn a lot of new words, concepts, and commands. It is the most beginner-friendly CLI tool for encryption, and keeping it that way is our top priority.

Ask HN: How to use AI to code in a non-degenerative way?
How to use AI to code in a non-degenerative way?

AI coding assist (ChatGPT / GitHub Copilot) can do so much with zero thinking on our part. Refactor code, think of architectures, process data, use APIs, etc.

This is very degenerative.

I want to find a way to use AI to help me speed up coding without it being degenerative to my skills.

I have 4 years of full-time experience, so I got a lot of the basics covered, but I still have much to learn.

My general rule of thumb is to use it to write code I totally know how to write myself but don't want to waste time doing it (like giving it to an intern).

If I don't know how to do the task, I use it like a senior developer for consultation (without letting it do the task for me).

For API usage, I use it like a great search engine for docs (without giving it my specific use case so it doesn't hand-feed me exactly what I need).

I'd like to get your feedback on how you use AI in order to speed up coding while still retaining most of the skills & knowledge growth you would have gained without using it.
Exactly on point, Europe is feudal and always have been. It is actually the reason why USA was "invented", when people who were fed up with the system left to start anew.

I studied, lived and worked in high demand field all my adult life in Europe, am in my mid 30s and have nothing really to show for it. Salaries are lower than USA, the taxes are ridiculous, (progressive up to 50%), reasonably new house prices in reasonable locations are in millions. And health care... lol.. ok - it just about works, but as you can imagine anything public is prone to corruption and lowest passable quality

Seeing USA, the last bastion for people who could make something out of themselves by real work crumbling and crawling to its death is disheartening.
There's a global re-alignment from turboinvestments and VC based hiring in the Silicon Valley to real world needed workforce and I bet, salary ranges. We can't afford to burn cash in this moment of history. So all companies that relied on infinite growth needs a re-alignment. So until every SV company has cut someone, it won't be done.
But the best number of jobs cut for a company is one, so if you see more, it's either company failure or system failure like in the DOTCOM bust. Once that investors feel their money's not wasted for growth in times of recession, all will be more competitive and more about real problems. It's actually good for the industry, bad for the hires.

> By intervention I mean some external agent causing the system to leave the initial equilibrium macrostate

OK, that's what I thought.

> We need additional assumption about the non-equilibrium process that makes the argument invalid for the past.

Ah.

No, you don't need any additional assumptions. All you need is to observe that the present constrains the past differently from the future. There are fewer pasts compatible with a given present than there are futures compatible with that same present.

You can't just say that there are many high-entropy microstates, and so you are as likely to encounter one in the past as you are in the future, because any candidate past state has to be able to evolve into the present state. And if the present state is a low-entropy state, the precursor for that is much more likely to be an even lower-entropy state. Yes, there are high-entropy microstates that will evolve into low-entropy ones, but the fraction of those states chosen from among all high-entropy microstates is indistinguishable from zero, and so the odds of a high-entropy microstate in general being the precursor of a present low-entropy state is likewise indistinguishable from zero.

By way of very stark contrast, the successor states of a low-entropy state (or any state for that matter) is much more likely to be a high entropy state than a low-entropy one for the exact same reason: the present constrains the past more rigidly than it does the future.

I formerly worked for a FAANG, but I come from quite humble circumstances: I grew up on a small farm in Pennsylvania. Also, I've been in this industry for years but I've never "vested and rested." The vast majority of people in tech are working for a salary and benefits.
Or maybe, just maybe, it's not really possible to solve that issue once and for all for all companies in the world, but is rather dependent on team culture and can differ between teams and be a factor in why some people choose one job and others choose another one.

> The efficiency difference isn't as much as you might think.

True, the BSFC numbers of these old school aero engines aren't that bad, actually.

> General aviation aircraft cruise at about 75% power. There's much less to be gained by optimizing the engine to run efficiently at 10%

I think the real advantage isn't a small efficiency gain in optimal conditions, but rather that with a modern FADEC there's less pilot workload, with a single lever for selecting the thrust the pilot wants, and the electronics takes care of selecting the optimal parameters (throttle position, amount of fuel, ignition timing etc.) for that thrust setting, taking into account input from a number of sensors (temperatures, pressure, etc.). And all those sensors provide data that can be logged and help with planning maintenance before something goes pear-shaped up in the air.

> running a small engine at high RPM and high boost continuously is a recipe for frequent service intervals.

The Rotax aero engines rev to a max of almost 6000 rpm, cruise is ~5000 rpm, and they have a normal(?) TBO of 2000 hours, including the turbocharged 914. (The turbocharged 915iS has a TBO of 1200 hours, but I suspect it's due to the engine being relatively new, probably the interval will be extended when more experience has been gained?). Of course, these engines are designed for that from the ground up, not saying you could take a random car engine off the street and run it at 5000 rpm for 2000 hours.
Unless most tech workers are 50+, they would not be saving the majority of that money, but rather investing it in the stock market.

Investment rates and savings rates go hand in hand, and taking money from the upper middle class to give to the investor class is not sound economic policy. Savings don't depress investments, on the contrary they reduce capital costs and allow for more investment without inflation. Banks don't actually keep your money on hand, they lend almost all of it out.

It is an interesting thought to play around with - but probably not. If a company is allowed to frame firings they would use mild language and try not to refer to the situation at all ('the business was restructured', 'redundancy', 'layoff'). If the firing was for-cause the language gets a bit stronger ('terminated' for example would indicate that the person had done something that scared a team of lawyers or was otherwise egregious).

Firing is a slang term that would tend to be used by an unsympathetic press. The slang equivalent would be quit which has a similar strength.

Consider the Linux kernel. First it would probably have never been successful with a liberal license in the first place, but let's ignore that for a second and assume it got successful anyway.

If you look at the current situation where each SoC supports only one (generally very old and very vulnerable) kernel, I think we have an the reasons to be happy that they at least have to release the sources so hopefully someone can extract the patch and have it work on recent kernel. It's not very hard to imagine the situation where we'd only have the binary kernels if we did not have the GPL.

You're young and I agree with your assessment. I also think that working close together is fundamental to start something new quickly, especially if the team doesn't know each other well. Think of new hires in a new company of any kind. However I rather pick something to work from home and keep my social life for the evenings and the weekends. It's so much more convenient than having to commute, from 10 minutes to one hour. And not be bound to 9-18.
> You cannot make edge cases and strange unique behavior happen in a controlled environment.

Sure you can. Go iterate through the GNU Coreutils bug tracker, find weird bugs, create test cases, feed them to your implementation. Bonus points if you can find an existing test suite (ex. xfstests turns out to be good for testing arbitrary filesystems). Granted, there will always be edge cases that you don't catch until they show up live in prod, but you can hit a chunk of the space without that.
If you are interested, me, personally, was partially affiliated with libertarian party and left Russia after first police visit in early 2021 (so a year before the war, even better in your terms). But that's just an ad hominem and doesn't matter in fact.

Talking generally, that's true that most people didn't leave, and that's totally fine. People don't deserve to play heroes and suffer in prisons because they were unlucky enough to born in wrong place in wrong time. Everybody deserve to have a peaceful life with their families, hobbies and jobs. Wanna play hero - get a visa, go to Russia, give your life, get shit done, if that's so easy. Humanity will be grateful for you.

If you don't - don't say people to do that just because they have different color of passport or speak other language. There is nothing wrong in being a "coward", people just want to live their lives, it's not a game, there is no savepoints.

According to the data from that website:

- 2022 year - 1044 companies laid off 159786 employees
- 2023 year - 334 companies laid off 101617 employees

However, 637 out of 1795 of listings, which is 35%, is not part of this statistics because their "Laid Off" employees field is empty (0).

For some reason, total sum of laid off employees is displayed as 358224, and even though that does not really match the reported 2022+2023 numbers, I could easily imagine that the actual figure crosses the 0.5M given that 30-40% of the listings are not included in math.

Dishonest to put Germany in the list of countries extending their reactors life.

Nuclear is over here, for the time being.

That produced problems in the supply chain, which already adjusted to the former plans. AFAIK they are still scheduled to be shut down forever by the end of this April.

However, no new build is on the table, nowhere around here.
