No, I didn’t do a golden visa - rather, a retirement visa - residency is easy if you have even only a moderate income of €1,200 a month or so or assets. It also handily comes with a ten year exemption on overseas income, which I don’t feel too bad about as I avail myself of no state services beyond those which I do pay for through other taxes, and I’ve made some substantial investments in local businesses.

The golden visa was a much abused scheme largely for absentee landlords who want EU residency, and it has indeed jacked up property prices in the major population centres to an unsustainable degree - many properties have been priced to the visa threshold, and then sit vacant, unrented, often dilapidating. I’m glad to see the back of it, as it gives estrangeiros a bad rap.
At my old job we had some unsafe-ish operations, mostly you needed to do --force or --really. Typically you would invoke without it, then it would say "heres what I am gonna do, do this again with --really and I will do it for sure"

There was one tool that had '--yolo', because if you're at that point of an operational crises - you might as well give it a shot.
Now run a browser version of Wayland so you can run Electron inside the browser. We must go deeper!
Sure, it can be done, but that alone isn't enough reason to give up redundancy.
Where you in Django or similar? Do you feel less productive?
The smart app banners are actually part of the browser. You add some meta tag to your HTML indicating your app ID and Safari shows a prompt outside of the web page to install or open it. Infuriatingly it can’t be disabled, and since it’s not part of the HTML I can’t use a content blocker to hide it.

Now there are a couple nice things:

- if an app is not installed you can dismiss for a particular site and you will never see it again. The website has no way to trigger it, the API is more like “Hey Safari I have an app” than “trigger a prompt”.
- unfortunately if the app is installed you can’t dismiss the notification to open in the app. This I quite dislike because many sites have certain pages on their site with no equivalent in the app. Sometimes I have an app and just want to visit the site without being nagged.
I think Stackexchange does.
99.9% of people would not switch to Chrome overnight. They don’t know or care what a rendering engine is.
The difference is that, to this day, getting a straight answer on what web 3.0 is, is difficult. On the other hand, people are using ChatGPT to write all sorts of emails - cover letters, resignation letters, layoff letters, customer support letters - and that is a use case that those who aren't being willfully blind can immediately grasp as being useful, for people who are in job roles that require a lot of that sort of work.
Bankman-Fried Judge Threatens Jail over Use of Apps, VPNs
Managing Impatient Employees (and Bosses)
Hmm, where have we seen this before..
Nobody who doesn't work in the industry knows how to do this. Browser site permissions are basically the absolutely most incomprehensible UI ever to ordinary users. It's why implementing these features without an app install is user hostile.
Smoke-testing Rust HTTP clients (2020)
My first experience of this was when I got into an argument with a cashier.

I remember it was something absurd and kafkesque, I returned a product, and they could only return the money on the card I used to pay for it, but that card has expired.

I was exasperated "Here is my ID, its the same bank account, by the same bank. Use y
common sence!"

"But there is message sating it has to be the same card"

"it no longer exists, so how do I get the money back now?"

"There is no button for that"

At that moment, I thought, this person can only do what the computer says. The Developer didn't program the computer.

The develiper programmed the person that will use the computer.
It's not just like that. The process of creation (at least for some fields) has becoming formulaic, something is succeeding? then keep doing it, do some minimal variation or remix existing things. Put those existing pieces together, change names, be sure to include this factor, do this before that and so on. When "creation" becomes routine, then you are acting like a bot, the 1% inspiration and 99% transpiration is turned into 100% transpiration (or much less because modern tools helps with composing and writing).

When creation is having a idea and then flesh it with some procedural, repetitive work, then you are not doing a lot more of what this kind of tools might be able to do, just hand it the idea and let it produce the fleshed out product.

You can still chop a tree with an axe for the joy of it, but we have a cheap chainsaw available for use too.
The US is often 1.5-4x the engineering salaries we see over here, but the point was we're on the other side of the world.

My point was that remote teams across countries, and in some cases timezones, can work. But replacing a team just becuase you can get cheaper engineers is destructive.

Build a remote team on purpose, or let your team move to locations that requires them to work remote.

The point I'm trying to make is focus on the team and what's best for them. If it's a new team why limit yourself to one country.

> Why in this case even have an _________ engineering team, ever?

The same reason some engineers command more renumeration than others (in the same market), you find good talent and want them on board.
I think there are contexts where this approach is sufficient.

But the little Dijkstra in me can’t stand for it in most professional situations.

I’m not the kind of programmer that delights in not knowing what I’m doing and fixing the result of my neglect later on.

I also charge obscene rates. Usually to fix piles of code no one understands anymore.

Tests I find are a bare minimum and are not even sufficient in more cases than people realize. It’s a shame though that even this low bar is too much for some.

It’s a good balancing act to know when the enemy of a good plan is a perfect one… and what makes a sufficiently good plan.
Are you sure that its the majority in the districts they have the zoning? If it was the majority, wouldn't the rules change?
I think one of my biggest fears is when I see people excitedly exclaiming, "these kinds of tools allow people to create things that they never would've been capable of building".

And then you see people on Reddit talking about how they created a picture book using stable diffusion for the pictures, and chat GPT for the story with the Reddit post titled "I wrote a book". It's almost as if people fundamentally misunderstand the concept of craftsmanship altogether.

https://youtu.be/QKZNOnLUBmQ
"As to whether or not zoning laws are what prevent people from owning horses, that's not clear to me. But a law saying you can't build a bookstore or apartment ..."

Everyone thinks they want to "get rid of zoning" but, of course, there are "obvious" rules we would all need to follow and "of course you can't do that" ... and it quickly becomes murky as to where "zoning" begins and ends and which regulations are "legitimate" or not.

Either people can communally decide what rules they want to enact or they can't.

If they can, restricting multi-family housing is as legitimate as anything else in a democracy. Like allowing or disallowing horses. Or limits to vehicles-on-blocks-in-the-front-yard. Or ad-hoc septic systems.
I wrote an unsafe library at a FAANG and used similar naming conventions.

The init function was named along the lines of “MyClassName_UNSAFE::initUnsafeIUnderstandTheRisks()”

And the library itself was called something like “library-name-unsafe-my-team-name-must-approve-diff”

So anyone trying to use it would have to add a library with that name to their list of dependencies and would come to us asking for a code review, and more than half the time we would redirect them to a safer alternative (valid use cases for the unsafe library were few and far between).
Because they have a lower center of gravity and good crash structure. These are good things. But avoiding the accident in the first place significantly reduces the need to test that crashworthiness.
Now you'll struggle to run them completely in parallel (in complete isolation, i.e. unique database server and what-have-you). This will probably matter if you want to run them in CI. It's a trade-off though, and itests are a nasty monster to deal with no matter what.
Something I discovered
Have often gone at 2K+ (which maybe isn't absurd compared what others have opened) but max ~100 active rest being unloaded. Only issue had once was sidebar went into rendering loop on browser startup. Not sure what did to fix (should've maybe fill a bug report too) but lost the hierarchy so had to group them again. A bit time consuming due to the amount of tabs but not much since you can select and group multiple tabs.
There’s also a chance that most informed people do this kind of research at work, and would like to keep their jobs.
If you send a balloon around the world, would you really care if the North Koreans get their knickers in a knot over some telemetry? What are they going to do, ask for extradition?

They might shoot it down but I'd personally consider that a badge of honor. Pissing off the worst dictatorship in the world and getting them to waste at least 50k$ on a jet sortie for a few hundred bucks worth of hobby balloon sounds like money well spent.

I'm not into ballooning but I'm surprised they actually obey this. The UK is another matter of course.
I completely agree. He has a Pulitzer Prize, five Polk awards, two national magazine awards. Broke My Lai, Abu Ghraib, and exposed the Israeli nuclear program.

He is easily the most accomplished journalist for several generations.

That doesn’t automatically mean this story is right but to dismiss him in emotional and inaccurate terms doesn’t speak to a rational, evidence-based interpretation of the facts.
On some devices, I see the line "EFI stub: load initrd from command line option" (or similar) as just another line on the same text screen that prints early UEFI messages.

And I'm still wondering about that and how text-mode/console output works.

I get it when I'm attached via a serial port, but... how many console rendering implementations for VGA output are on my system?
I think the target audience would be programmers who don't (want to)/can't install the necessary dev tools onto their system.

I suppose lessening the curl2bashness of many frontend dev tools is also an advantage.
Counterpoint: A paperclip maximizer is a good thing. Paperclips are very useful.

In conjunction with most surfaces, they can be used as musical instruments, akin to drumsticks or fingerpicks. Being much cheaper than recorders, they would serve as an excellent way to instill a sense of rhythm into children.

If you bend them in a certain way, they make quite satisfying and very stable hangers. Who among us has not needed to hang something in place before?

If you put one in the back of a TV, you can pick up plenty of ASTV channels, most likely including your local news. This is deeply good for public education and awareness.

If you put one in a radio, you can pick up radio channels. Without too much effort, they could also be used to replace the tuners and volume knobs on one.

They work very well as stands for all sorts of things if slightly deformed, which can be deeply useful.

You can use sufficiently large ones (known in most markets by the affectionate moniker of "jumbo" paper clips) to teach people how to tie knots, in a manner that requires less mechanical dexterity than most rope.

If you peel the end of one out, it makes a delightful pinhole puncher, which is very useful for certain styles of photography.

This isn't even getting into all of the remarkable ways you can use them with paper!

And if you're paperless, it would be hard to think of a more efficient way of making the perfect-sized USB stick keychain for precisely your amount of USB sticks.

Please do not slander paperclips; we need a paperclip maximizer for the good of society, and little would be a better short-term goal for AI research.
Out of Tokyo and San Francisco, which one requires all new buildings to go to subjective design reviews where your neighbors complain about shadows and tell you they don't like the color you plan to paint it and the style of windows facing the road?

Hint: it's not Tokyo, which actually does have a fair number of old ugly poorly-maintained buildings scattered around random nice neighborhoods. Which is fine and not hurting anyone.

Making a Stateful Webapp on a $7.68 per Month Budget
I think you are same! Great idea.

A forum is going to be way more searchable. If you want realtime notifications that was solved 50 or more years ago with email or say 20 ish years ago with RSS.

For this reason I prefer JIRA
comments with @-ed colleagues over slack which provides the context and async communication.

An ephemeral slack-like (snapchat for teams!) might be useful for the remote equivalent of talking which is also ephemeral. Knowing that the conversation will be lost and will be interruptive should move most stuff on the forum.

ATC style short radio-style communications might be interesting for this too. “Dan please check broken build. Out”

But yeah there is a lot of cultural bias towards slack like chat systems and at large companies changing that would be like trying to switch away from active directory: unplausable!
We used to have a plane with a radio in designed to listen to ATC for the usual reasons. I see no great difference to listening to it for flying the plane of listening to it for no particular reason when sitting around, legally speaking.

Transmitting to ATC is of course quite a different thing.
And I guess similarly if someone does care intimately about test ordering they also ought to care that method names are descriptive. Maybe they should have had to call a method named "i_suck_and_dont_care_about_method_name_quality" to put "i_suck" in a method name? I guess its hypocrisy all around in that case.
Russia is also not a single actor. There are factions, and they have different interests. The "liberals" aka the economic bloc in the administration - who know full well what kind of shitshow is ahead in the long term - would prefer the war to die down, and for gas to start flowing again, preferably in exchange for dropping sanctions. Because of that, they're a potential threat to the war faction; think of how some parts of the German military repeatedly tried to arrange for secret negotiations with the Allies for an example of how it could materialize. But if there are no pipelines, the "liberals" have no gas to offer in exchange for concessions even if they somehow manage to stop the war and remove the war party from power. This makes their platform less attractive.

(To be clear, this is all just conjecture. The factions are real enough, and have motives that could make players in this game, but it's obviously not the only viable explanation.)
And risk getting cut off from further military and economic support from allies? Highly unlikely.
But it's bad news!

I can think of so many valid and proven use cases for notifications.

Requiring to first save a web app locally in order to actually benefit from its full feature set is bad UX. Apple.
Wrong. The lack of formal diplomatic relations means little. The Saudis became very friendly with Israel during the Trump administration.

Ask HN: Software to simulate mouse with keyboard

In 2014 there was a sabotage operation against a munitions depot in Vrbětice in the Czech republic, a NATO member. There was no official attribution for half a decade. Lack of immediate attribution as a basis for assigning responsibility seems mostly cherrypicking and vibes.
Asleep is clearly a temporary state. Babies/sleeping people still have the potential to become self-aware and the expectation is that they generally will. At any rate I don't think it's relevant to the discussion at hand.

What a throw back... what is this 2015? Are we arguing about open offices? Guess I will spout my thoughts.

I love my cubicle. It's my personal private space. I hate open desks.

I really did like an in between I had once - which was a cubicle in a room with no windows, and the other 4 people on my team. I would only overhear relevant things, nobody walked into our room for no reason, and it made it easy to say ' hey can someone look at this' and usually you'd get help.

( no windows - great for programming, I also had a desk job that was sun facing at 4pm with crappy blinds... swear I lost some vision permanently from that).
This gave me a good chuckle. I imagine the test would then be named something vague and ultimately useless. Damn near every change breaks this test and I don't know what now!

As long as it's all green checkmarks and I don't need to run all the tests every time then it must be ok right?
The worst part of this is it’s the last item in the autocomplete list, and will often be under the keyboard, off screen until we scroll to it. It also hides the current page behind the list of course.

All in all, text selection and search is still such a second class experience on iOS.
Don't forget that they usually travel at 2x the flight ceiling of an airliner. The transition up and down is really quick. So the effective risk is low. And usually you can inform the authorities so they know where it is.
But if you can try asking for different things and it takes 10s to create, it might be easier to just iterate like that than ask a developer to spend a day on it.
Things change when company grows and decides at some moment to limit the number of days to store Slack conversations.

After that phpbb-style forum suddenly becomes way more interesting than before.
The “almost correct” aspect will be especially fun when AIs are used to refactor code. I was thinking about how a future legacy codebase might look like after a decade of having AI-generated code added to it, and then of course you would want the AI to apply some refactorings from time to time.

One might argue that it won’t be a problem with proper tests. But do coders want to spend most of their time proofreading AI-generated code and taking care of proper test coverage? That doesn’t sound very appealing.
We used Lit for a project a while ago and I definitely vouch for it.

We were embedding the component into a legacy application and needed to use a build tool for older browser compatibility but it was a breeze to work with even with the extra complication our build setup added.

Getting back to basics and targeting what most modern browsers support out of the box is a huge plus.
I’m on iCloud+ too with customized email domain setup for each of my family.

On Linux I would just go to icloud.com to access my Apple email, notes, etc. I wish there was an easier solution but iCloud access on Linux sucks.
This is so interesting because I definitely imagined "Library Science" as something as a relic/old but clearly that's not the case.
This still assumes that the root of our modern ills as a profession is "we don't have enough code", when in fact the root of our ills is that "the code we have is all crap". Being able to generate code that is worse than ever, faster than ever, will not result in any improvement at all to the state of software reliability.
Except that you won't run on the amazing M2 hardware but in a VM which is slower than running on real hardware.

The same thing could be said about using digital tools to edit the text/images or more extremely purchased art supplies instead of making your own. For the things you mentioned the low quality craftsmanship has no relationship to using the newer tools to make them.
> it's expected that there will be more code being generated by programs rather than written by programmers.

That has probably been case since the 80s; nearly all code running on your CPU is generated by a program ("compiler") from a textual description ("source")
Sometimes, they (US-based employers) just turn off badges and ghost employees without telling them.

That’s a terrible defence. Evolution isn’t directed. Gain of function research is like trying to breed animals for specific features, it probably reduces the disease’s overall fitness but it sure could increase its fitness in humans because that’s what they’re breeding for.

No. Was it ever? All you need is a piece of road that has something which appears to be lane lines. The road to my house is usable despite having no actual paint striping because it happens to have a crack that runs fairly straight up one side and was filled with tar. So the camera thinks it's a lane line. Ta-da!
Replace AI with chickens or cows in those questions and they become questions that have disturbed many of us for a long time already.
Is it funny that people expect a salary commensurate with the country where they reside? It’s not like the world has open borders and people can just pickup and move wherever they want. Sure, some young single people can do the digital nomad things, but that’s a minority of people. Most have obligations.
And of course it is not unheard of for a native English speaker to correct themselves if they change their mind about which noun to use.

> when most games run natively on ARM with competitive performance.

They just need to run natively on ARM to get performance that's more than competitive on the CPU side. The GPU is no slouch but is not top of the line (yet). Seems trivial to pair the ARM CPU with an external GPU.
