>Your application will have awful keyboard navigation, will not support normal well established shortcuts, will contain vulnerable js that you will never bother to replace…

...what?

These are all things that any developer - C++, JS based or otherwise - needs to implement and/or be mindful of. This has nothing to do with the language/runtime/platform and everything to do with the team implementing it and their level of attention to the platforms themselves.

Hell I cannot tell you the number of QT-based applications I've opened on macOS that violate established shortcuts. This isn't an Electron-only problem. ;P

> But the administration around specifically 'kinderbijslag' (child benefits), 'zorgtoeslag' (health care subsidy) and 'huurtoeslag' (rent subsidy) are minimal to almost non-existent.

I disagree. The ‘toeslagen’ system is specifically set up such that if you start earning more partway through the year, you might have to pay months of benefits payments back (since those payments were really just a ‘voorschot’, and your actual right to them is based on your annual salary, which changes if you get a better job).

If you forget to update your salary (which might happen to ordinary people for any number of reasons), you might additionally be slapped with a fine.

I understand that on HN, we are self-selecting for people who understand the rules and how the system works. In real life, though, many people (especially those with a low income) are not well-versed in bureaucratic rules.

Consider, for example, that 1 in 9 (!) Dutch are functionally illiterate (laaggeletterd) [1]. The system is just too complex for them, and it’s no wonder many choose to forgo toeslagen when they do have a right to them.

It's too bad, because the best managers I've worked with were not good ICs, but they did multiply the effectiveness of the ICs they worked with, and so were absolutely invaluable to the company in a way that may not have shown up on paper. If those people exist in FB, as I'm sure they must, then they'd presumably get jettisoned as a result of this choice. That would be bad long term.

I used to despise managers, until I met two really good ones. This is after working with hundreds of them as a consultant. Actual, natural-born managers are such an incredibly rare species that you can go a long time without seeing any in the wild. It's basically the equivalent of the legendary 10x programmer — you hear about them, but it's rare to actually meet one, and there are sure a lot more people claiming to be one than who actually are.

My theory is that there are a set number of great managers in the world, and that number doesn't scale with the number of people who take on the role. They're just out there, being awesome, while a bunch of pretty lousy ones share their job title.
> I'm not talking about college at all

Then I'm honestly confused why you're posting on this article. Do you care at all about the topic or do you just pattern match on "DEI" and start spitting out next-tokens?

It's especially maddening that "lol I'm not talking about college" is the hot take from the top-voted comment on this story. Speaks volumes to the quality of HN discourse on this topic: just a bunch of scared nonsense.

> telling kids about the gays

So what? I was told the gays are evil as a kid and I turned out okay.

The gays are okay. If telling the kids that the gays are okay is some sort of existential threat to you then I'm not sure what to say.

> DEI that I have experienced in the work place is very aggressively anti white

Not gonna lie, I see this a lot and "my HR training was dumb as shit" is a weird basis for political ideology. My anti-phishing training was patronizing as fuck and poorly executed, but I'm not about to use that as a basis for an argument to defund the DoD or whatever.

Also, sounds like you work in weird places. At the universities I worked at the older profs made occasional comments about the tits and asses of undergraduate students, talked about homosexual faculty in way that made even us white straight males uncomfortable, etc. Whatever woke nonsense you think is happening at universities, they're absolutely unregulated compared to most corporate environments and have nothing resembling the sanitary corporate training -- on DEI or a million other things -- that I have to do every year.

Quadrupedal movement(i.e. crawling), a resistance band routine and pullups will hit everything strength and mobility-wise, and cost and weight are close to nothing relative to a full gym. For pushing the intensity even further you can add a weighted vest or just stuff a backpack with books, with some padding to keep it stable. But you only want to do all of that a few times a week max, because it's very strength-focused and will overtrain you quickly if you let it; for the majority of sessions, a warm up to work through any stiff joints, and then cardio, is the right amount.

For cardio, it's a matter of "pick your poison". Some people like the bike or rowing, some have found a traditional sport they can practice like shooting a basketball, or a video game like DDR, Beat Saber or Ring Fit. Many people have gone for a treadmill desk or stepper machine. If you're doing boxing, maybe the classic speed bag and jump rope will do the trick.

The Japanese navy was pretty weak which was the main reason for this sneaky Pearl Harbor attack. In a direct conflict they'd have had no chance and they tried to take out as much of the fleet off the board as they could.

> To counter-anecdote: I've basically never had a bad manager.

I've never had a bad manager, but I've never had a good one. Or rather I've never had one where I've really noticed what they actually did aside from doing a basic personal assistant / secretary job dealing with administrative paperwork, scheduling meetings, taking notes, conveying status reports between people and teams and tools.

I've never had personal issues with my managers and I've always got along well with them and I don't suggest its their fault that their positions exist. I just don't see the value in having organizations structured in a way that necessitates these roles.

> shielding me from the whims of higher-ups while making sure I don't burn out by encouraging me to take more time off, etc

See this is how they sell themselves, but what it really means is that your engineering firm has whimsical higher-ups who don't understand engineering or even basic people management such that they would kill your productivity and burn you out, forcing the firm to hire another layer of people to protect staff from incompetent upper management.

There could be a grain of truth to it, but it just makes the situation even more ridiculous.

Oh, the ath10k used to suck! :/ https://forum.openwrt.org/t/aql-and-the-ath10k-is-lovely/590...

A sore point for me, is that yes you do need FQ+AQM on your fiber link, and if you are running linux - you probably already are running the no-fuss-no-muss BQL + fq_codel combination on that uplink at that line rate. No knobs, it just works. These days you might want to try cake with no bandwidth setting as a default instead, there. No explicit shaping required, just the native backpressure from BQL.

It is unfortunately highly likely that your ISP is using something like a policer or tail drop on your downlink instead of preseem or libreqos, so believe it or not, shaping the downlink can help a bit more, in some cases. I am a big believer in actual measurements using the flent tool: https://blog.cerowrt.org

I find it weird that mt76/mt79 pcie or m2 cards are so rare. I would like it if they penetrated the laptop market where intel presently dominates with that.

Cynically the "best" AP may often not be the actual one you want. Too many best algorithms depend just on RSSI rather than (for example) sporadic interference on the same channel, causing jitter. A narrower channel width with less folk on it is sometimes better than a wide one duking it out with everyone else.
Not dead, just complying with the Gartner cycle for hypes.

There is probably a rational, well thought out classification of different types of data bigness, as in CERN-big, Google-big, MegaBank-big, down to wordpress-log big and on the basis of that one would probably find that different designs are indispensable, address different pain points and cannot really "die". Hype has a more erratic lifecycle than real needs
You are 100% correct. I manage a team now that I don't really have time to guide and am probably stricter with them than I need to be because of it. Additionally I am constantly behind on my deliverables to Sr. leadership because I don't have time to focus on the constant flow of busy work they keep giving me because they need data for some report to their leaders. I have no one that I can delegate this work too. I'm also working in an agile environment and have no scrum master. In addition I don't have time to think, I am just constantly pinged and in meetings. My blocked time on the calendar is not respected. Yesterday I had 9 meetings. Its impossible to do any type of deep work. Honestly its really not great. Salary is helpful though.

I'm done complaining now :)
Let me just quote it for you: " If we fall away from meritocracy – if we allow the SJWs to remake us as they wish, into a hell-pit of competitive grievance-mongering and political favoritism for the designated victim group of the week – we will betray not only what is best in our own traditions but the entire civilization that we serve". s/SJWs/Marxists/

I’ve always heard that Japanese software developers were very poorly paid compared to their us counterparts. This 10% might be pretty terrible if your peers received large raises for years beforehand.

I do feel like something is off with Nintendo, their games seem very scarce recently. Either they’re launching a new system this year at e3 or Covid really messed up their dev practices.
W^X (with permission flipping) is fine for JIT, the problem is that Apple doesn’t really allow these kinds of JITs on the App Store.
Cloud seeding is like alchemy but better
Same. They're neat tech demos, but aside from turn-by-turn directions I don't really see any of them being particularly helpful aside from being a novelty. I really don't get the demand for weird social overlays on top of people, that seems distracting more than anything.

(Even demand for the turn-by-turn I think is largely driven by people allowing turn-by-turn to erode their natural sense of direction and ability to recall directions, but that's a separate point).

There are some useful cases I can imagine, but they would require so much collaboration by other contributors who aren't traditionally inclined towards good UX and software, and would be so niche that I don't see them driving a successful consumer product. In those cases the hardware isn't really the hard question it's "how do we deliver great experiences that can accomplish this without a hitch and without getting in the way?"

For instance, presenting overlays is very useful for something like an inspector to be able to easily cross reference maps, blueprints, and schematics. Uploading an instruction manual for building flat-pack furniture and have it able to literally tell you what to do. Meal prep services overlaying recipes. A tool for guided tours at museums (in which case you'd rent the AR device instead of owning your own). Maybe as a bike or running computer to overlay your time, speed, splits, or whatever.

But these are all such niche use cases I can't imagine a company like Apple, that generally aims to have product lines that sell in the hundreds of millions of units, would ever be in that market.
I agree that whether or not they'll allow JIT is an orthogonal issue based on security policies, but I don't think it's out of the question.

The security argument to not allow a JIT is that mapping code segments as executable+writeable opens up a lot of interesting attack vectors, and therefore allowing JIT weakens security. This is true of course, but the argument is a bit dubious for a few reasons. The first of which is that the OS is supposed to have sandboxing mechanisms that don't allow escape from the sandbox even if something goes wrong, and therefore prohibiting a JIT shouldn't be required in the first place. Furthermore WebKit itself has a JIT (whatever Apple calls their JS implementation), so iOS is already vulnerable to these kinds of issues in some sense. Finally, in general you can write and link in arbitrary code into your program (in read-only sections of memory), so attackers can already write exploits in C/C++/asm/whatever.

Obviously Apple needs special consideration for WebKit itself since the WebKit rendering engine is linked into a ton of applications, so a security issue in WebKit is a major problem because it affects many programs on the phone, including a lot of first party applications. But this wouldn't be the case with a third-party iOS browser, since even if Apple allows you to install a third party browser, they're not going to allow you to replace the system webview implementation with a third party one. Therefore a bug or security problem in Firefox/Chrome/whatever should be limited to just that app, and wouldn't have the same scope as a WebKit vulnerability.

Apple is notoriously restrictive so maybe they won't change their policies. On the other hand I think the current technical argument for not allowing third party programs to have JIT code is pretty weak, so I could definitely see a different decision being made at some point in time, especially if there was pressure from the legal team (e.g. due to things like EU anti-trust regulations).

Dozens of different kawaraban were published after Perry’s fleet arrived, with each one said to have run to around 1,000 copies. This is a tiny number compared to newspaper circulation today, but the total printed in a short period was unprecedented in the Edo period (1603–1868), and they gave people a detailed picture of the treaty negotiations.

I found the section about the kawaraban especially interesting. The above detail captures some sense of how newsworthy these events were and the scope of the impact it had on Japan.

Fighting misinformation can be really difficult, so it’s always good to see people working on the problem! However, while a moderation tool is great, I’m not sure if it would help with more mundane misinformation (e.g., controversial figures saying outlandish statements). Personally, it seems like misinformation education would be a longer-term solution. However, I’m not an expert on this, I am just hopeful that with a better understanding of the Psychology behind misinformation, it can be fought more effectively. If you’re interested, I work with people from the Ecker Memory & Cognition Lab, which has released handbooks to tackling misinformation: https://www.emc-lab.org/.
