Programming wasn't even my original plan.

I went to school to be a geneticist. First year of college, I sign up for classes as a nerd and see "Intro to Video Game Programming" and pick it of course. Starts out in Game Maker, but halfway thru the year they switch to show the code being generated, and it was like a magic moment for me where I was like "holy shit I want to do more of this". Moved over to coding and never looked back.

What would my Plan B be now? No idea. I feel like I could pick up a variety of different corporate professions like sales or marketing or something in a short enough time to not screw myself over. But nothing sticks out in my mind.

No, it is directly relevant. He is responding to someone who said that this problem with the permissions UI goes all the way back to the everyone who was involved from the very beginning.

He is one of those people who were involved at the beginning and is pointing out that they did not have that problem back then.

I surely remember much of my computer time being from ripping my CDs, borrowing friend's CDs to rip, going to the library (excellent source, really), to rip their CDs, etc.

Napster was all but toast once iTunes was on the scene, but Kaza and Limewire weren't any better in the problem of getting say, a whole album (those were still a thing) perfectly cataloged with metadata - and in high quality. iTunes made that very easy.

With the iPod, I would then just borrow people's iPods instead of CDs.

I didn't get into - and actually still don't subscribe to, a music service like Spotify. A few years after starting above, I would still just buy CDs from touring bands (these were bands driving cross country in vans and playing condemned warehouses, so safe to say their stuff wasn't being traded as mp3's, and if they were, they would have LOVED it). I remember buying some music off of iTunes Music, but I tried to not, as sharing their the system I had didn't work well - or even across my own devices.

MySpace Music was also big in discovery. Their whole music catalog was lost, though, right? Someone lost the private key?

Yeah I think the common storyline is that a manager who was trained in an immature organization and has seen the training wheels approach be successful decides that they can repeat their success by following the same steps every single time. To be a good manager to have to manage to your team, not to a set of rules. That's not easy for a lot of people.

Both Rust and C/C++ have some important limitations when it comes to being categorically UB-free. Rust's limitations first:

- If there's `unsafe` code in your dependencies, that's potentially just as bad as `unsafe` code in your own project. So you do have to be careful with what you pull in.

- There are known "soundness holes" in the compiler, i.e. compiler bugs that let you corrupt memory without writing `unsafe`. However, the ones that remain are pretty obscure and very hard to hit accidentally.

Now C and C++'s limitations:

- Valgrind and all the sanitizers depend on test coverage. So 100% line coverage is table stakes for getting certainty out of these. And you probably also need to think about coverage of your dependencies.

- None of these tools catch the UB that results from violating the "strict aliasing" rules. I believe there's something called "TypeSan" that promises to improve this situation, but it's experimental?

The last and only time I actually had to use my Tile, it didn’t even work in a frickin’ major international airport.

I think it’s funny how people gripe about AirTags and how they have stalking notifications. This was never an issue with Tile because you couldn’t stalk someone with it if you wanted to. It is only an “issue” with AirTags because they actually work.

Another anecdote, my partner and I also have 2 each and we've never, not once, had that experience either in the nearly two years we've had them.

Parents never did this when both of them worked.

Grandparents did this.

Unfortunately, these days, parents can't afford to keep living near the grandparents (because home prices have gone up too much, or because the grandparents are in a dead-end no-jobs town).

Your options are to fix the housing market (By which, I mean, utterly destroy the value of existing homes[1]), or to make it possible for a single breadwinner to feed a family again (again, this is largely driven by the cost of housing) or to make due with the status quo.

I have my screen reader faster than that video most of the time, and I know some other blind people who can understand it much faster. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can try the robotic sounding voice used in the video, which is also the one I use with my screen reader. It is called eloquence. I can understand voiceover with eloquence at 85%, but have my phone set to 75% most of the time so that I can hear it in a noisy environment.
If ARM continues to take off, this will be a pretty useful tool. I'm building Rust native binaries for one of my projects using buildx, but it's 1) way too slow using buildx emulation and 2) way too slow to build on the Pi itself.

In the end I created a hacky build process where I use a single container to build both the x64 and ARM versions serially, and then create multi-arch containers in a separate step. It was very painful to get the right native libraries installed, and it's not terribly easy to build these two platforms in parallel.

In short, having access to real ARM builders would be great, and persistent disks would probably boost my build performance quite a bit.

The dockerfile that I had to use: https://github.com/mmastrac/progscrape/blob/master/Dockerfil...

It is a good strategy for business continuity and they probably evaluate as they move people around internally. Employee morale doesn't matter when the market is full of hireable workforce (when/if they hire).
So this is some new elaborate hiring challenge?

But then when I open the linked jobs page the company seems to have exactly one open position. Is it that hard to hire one infrastructure engineer that you need to do...all this?
I've been curious about that. Any time I ask about it, a lot of Arch folks come out to explain why Manjaro is terrible and makes all kinds of bad choices similar to the ones TFA is about. How much of that is real vs. overblown purism about Arch?
So situations where women think they're in a relationship, but the man does not (or not with them). Again, is this statistically significant? Are women's standards for what qualifies as a relationship low enough that they think they're in one with 1/2, 1/3, or even less, of a man's time?

For what it's worth, treating my social anxiety made a big difference for me in this. A bad meeting is still draining, but good ones can be positive and energizing.

> Why would I wait until a meeting the next morning to reach out to relevant people for help?

Having a specific time for it makes it easier for people to do. It normalizes it, so it lowers the bar to ask for help. Also, note that this comes after a discussion of what people are working on for the day. So it's natural to say "Looks like I'll be getting into the foobar system today; who worked on that most recently?" And it's also natural for people offer help without being asked, so that lowers the help bar futher.

How about just a tax deduction for qualified childcare costs up to a certain amount?

Parents usually want to vet their child care and not just ship their child to whichever person is offering the lowest rates for the day.
This doesn't make sense as a metric though.

The goal of software development is not to write code that compiles, it is to have an executing software system that does the right thing.
They had that, in 2004. Emails that were obvious spam back then, and were correctly blocked, are now coming through. Something must have changed, and I doubt that the spammers got so much wiser because the spam is obvious.

Grandparents are now paid out via violence against the children (aka taxes) once they grow up. Why would they participate in raising the kid when the unspoken quid-pro-quo is no longer present and their benefits are guaranteed? There used to be significant bilateral benefit.
I actually think there is a function of whales, not yet explored. Dont try to milk them with items. Make them gatekeepers. They get to decide who plays the game, who gets to enter, and who gets to stay. Sounds strange, but if they keep the thing afloat, they might aswell have a total say on that.
I don't think I really agree with that characterization. To take PCB design as an example, you could just as easily say that once you have your blueprints (i.e. manufacturing files) then you're done. I see two big differences between SW/HW. The first is that software has a free and fast iteration loop whereas that same feedback loop would cost 2+ weeks and $10k on a PCB design. This makes it so that upfront design and analysis is more reasonable than try it and see. The second is that SW team structures appear to be much more coupled and interdependent. Multiple hardware designers can work for months on the same project without having to communicate much with anyone whereas this seems rare for SW teams. This causes the interdependencies between personnel to be highly predictable even if the work itself is not predictable.
It is also marketing (by virtue of the fact we are talking about it!)
> Hopefully this improves the morale of those left and no more layoffs will be necessary.

Well, the dynamic they've introduced most strongly incentivizes competent [read: employable] employees to leave so certainly that will improve overall team performance and they won't need to continue layoffs /s. To call it a death spiral would be excessive, but negative-divergence quality spiral just lacks that special something...
AFAIK if you setup a family the notifications go away. What would solve this for couples that aren't quite that committed would be a way to share the location info on an AirTag or at least be able to mark a particular tag as 'known' or 'safe'. I think with either of those but particularly the former all of the stalking concerns kind of go away. If you can also access and see the location for an AirTag in particular if you do need to get away for some reason you can find and dump the offending tag(s) or potentially disable them.

I don't really get why Apple doesn't have an option to do that already. It seems much better for shared objects and people like the Author and it doesn't seem like there are any technical hurdles to providing that.
Show HN: Canvas Language Animations – Add little animations to pictures
Hello.

I've been working on Canvas Language (SCL) for over 10 years, mostly as a side project. A few years ago I launched https://EditableGIFs.com (EG) using SCL to program the animations and let users easily customize the gifs.

Last week I was making a little promo video for EG using Flickify. I couldn't find a way to add an animation over an image so I went back to one of my old SCL projects, made some changes, and now there is this studio https://canvaslanguage.com/studio
The purpose of this studio is to add little animations to pictures, then download the animations as little videos for incorporation into larger productions.
In the help section of the studio (examples), there is a link to a video where I used 4 of the animations templates (pointer, falling arrows, opening curtains, and horizontal slideshow). Editable language code is under the Advanced tab.

Trouble is, I'm not sure that there is a market for this (adding animations to pictures). I know there is Canva and Adobe, etc, but I can make arguments to why this is a nice alternative. So I'm just wondering, is it worth making a dedicated site out of this?

Would love your feedback on the studio, but maybe even on SCL in general as I hope to expand it to more niches.

Thank you.
Spar can also be used to simply mean 'to argue'. Sail boats can also have a spar. It's not soley a boxing term.

Submitter and author here: My friend Dave and I made this over a decade ago, and I just stumbled on it again. I found it to be a fun walk down memory lane, and more broadly, an interesting time capsule of HN's culture and tropes.
Pretty much. Parents in my neighborhood pooled together and made sure that one of them always had a day off to pick up the kids from school and home and feed them until the other parents got off work.
Well as someone who lives in a city who's violent crime just spiked, and wasn't exactly ideal before said spike, I've encountered enough unstable people on the street I wouldn't be comfortable leaving my baby outside a restaurant period, regardless of the weather.

It's not that there's some mustache-twirling baby-stealing cabal out there, it's that some people are just mentally ill/batshit crazy and do batshit crazy things. Even if they'll get caught, even if there's no rational benefit. They'll hurt themselves and bring you/your loved ones along for the ride. They're likely less than 1% of the population, but around enough that statistically you have to worry.

Similarly, if some stranger on the street asks me for the time I'm 90% sure they're just trying to get me to pull out my phone so they can snatch it, particularly if there's more than one of them.

The idea of living in a densely populated non-gated area where you can have zero fear of absolute strangers is alien to me. It's like saying there's a road you can drive down where no one ever tailgates, road rages, drives drunk or cuts off each other and everyone does a perfect zipper merge when required, and it's so consistent you can drive without worrying about any of the above on a daily basis. Craziness.
Thanks for expanding that idea - completely agree, and this doesn’t need anyone at the studio to be a villain, it’s just standard corporate paperclip maximization at work.
I work at a company with a presence in AWS, GCP, Azure, Aliyun, and global data centers we operate.

I've learned, yes, you can save money - but only if you're good at forecasting workload and operational costs out 5 years.

I suspect most rushing into the move have inaccurate mental models around true costs related to things like a 24/7/365 NOC and rolling their own IAM to solve SOC2 requirements.

Then there's the recruiting problem. Many engineers want to stay sharp on the latest and greatest in the cloud. Few will want to work on your klunky MVP built in house.
The world has been in a bit of a weird state for the last 70 years or so, with US allies basically un-attackable. I guess if a country had steep enough population loss by low fertility rates, eventually a neighbor would notice and start grabbing bits before the declining country’s economy totally collapsed or the population just vanished. People become less useful in a sword fight way before retirement age, after all.

Plus, declining population doesn’t inherently provide a big dramatic marker to put in the history books like a natural disaster or battle.
> in this case, the availability of a CD-ROM drive. (Which wasn't a given in 2001, but was a given on any Mac that had Firewire support.)

It would have still been pretty odd to see a PC with no CD-ROM drive in 2001. It wasn't a given a machine would have a DVD-ROM drive in 2001, but CD-ROM was cheap by 2001 and rather ubiquitous.

Most home PCs in a box started shipping with CD-ROM in the mid 90s, along with Windows 95/98 etc, and by 2001 virtually all new software you bought at retail would require you to have one.

The firewire port was largely because IIRC USB 2 didnt exist at launch of iPod - transferring 5GB via USB 1 was painfully slow, the trick the iPod could do at the time that no competitor could was sync 1000 songs incredibly quickly.

> iTunes the software was introduced alongside the iPod

This isn't the case, iTunes was released before the iPod- before iPod "Rip/Mix/Burn" was a big marketing strategy for the iMac. The iPod did follow quickly though. Many of us had substantial libraries in iTunes before the iPod landed. Wikipedia suggests it was iTunes 2.0 that brought iPod support.
It's completely bizarre to me that I can open and then mark as spam e-mails from the same sender half a dozen times without Gmail blocking mail from that address. Why even have the button?
If that ever happens, I'm promise HN I'll write a email client like original gmail with the original promises. I'm a paying customer for lots of Google products, but damn them if they end up making the experience worse in order to eventually add a paid feature.
Intel Poland laid off a number of engineers, especially seniors and women.

It seems to me the difference in this case is that it complains about content promotion, not content publishing. The issue is that YouTube's algorithms promoted extremist content to people who were prone to extremist behavior. That's not quite the same as simply hosting extremist content uploaded by users.

As it says on the Supreme Court site:

"Issue: Whether Section 230(c)(1) of the Communications Decency Act immunizes interactive computer services when they make targeted recommendations of information provided by another information content provider, or only limits the liability of interactive computer services when they engage in traditional editorial functions (such as deciding whether to display or withdraw) with regard to such information."
