"Tech survey 2021 showed that most devs preferred remote at least half of the time or more"

I'm sure the devs would also prefer a salary of a clean million a year. What the devs prefer doesn't equate to what a business should do.
How does this compare to something like an Airgradient, which you can put together for like $50? More detail about what constitutes the PM2.5 or PMn particles you're measuring?
Is it harmful to breathe in outdoor second hand cannabis smoke? How diffuse do you think the constituents are in the open air?

Car exhaust is far more harmful and I don't like smelling it, let's start ticketing drivers for driving their car too close to my home
If not unemployment and retraining then a lot of people are going to need to miraculously become better at their jobs.

I somehow imagine it'll be the worst of both worlds but I'm a glass half empty kind of guy.
GPs point is that the technologies you've mentioned solved real problems before they were adapted for different use cases. They didn't make Darpanet and then think "man, if only there was some use for this" until the Internet came along. They designed it to send signals between distant nodes while being resilient to individual nodes being nuked.

Only after DARPAnet solved that problem did it get adapted to some other problems (ex: how do I send cat pictures to people)?
It would be ideal if phone calls and SMS were based solely on a whitelist system, where social norms dictate that legitimate communication occurs only after numbers have been exchanged. This would prevent unwanted contact from unknown numbers. Although many people already disregard such unsolicited calls or messages, having a systematic approach would make it much more effective and efficient.
As others mentioned, I believe that as long as there is a prompt to be written, there will be a need for domain experts to write them.

I think our jobs will switch to verifying what GPT-4 and co. are spewing. And yeah, that might get rid of those jobs that are just about mindlessly spewing out HTML. But there are already tools that do that like Wordpress :) Imho this is actually great, we will be able to focus on better, more interesting things, rather than on low level repetitive tasks. So, I think that developers' jobs won't go anywhere, unless you count a developer as a boilerplate factory.
People who are busy working aren't going to rush to HN to post about how they understood the announcement and are reacting as needed.

People who are bored (like me) will post rants and accusations.

Maybe not each company, but the VCs who encouraged their portfolio companies to put everything in SVB should have some inkling of the risks involved in doing that.
Yes, this was what I meant! For most users (at least for this user), it gives essentially the same outcome.

Mentioned this in another thread, but wow - at this point I'm not sure it's incompetence but just another thing they can throw at China/Russia/whoever it is this week, and see if it sticks.

You don't retroactively prevent people using random trash on government devices, you prevent anything being installed that isn't approved and vetted

I refuse to believe this is incompetence anymore, it's just so widespread and unfathomably dumb.

In many ways I do agree with you, but by now all these front-end frameworks and libraries, including their server-side rendered counterparts (like Nuxt, Next, etc.) just keep borrowing things from each other.

Regarding performance, I remember having blocking sluggishness with v-model that shouldn’t have been there back in Vue 2 days.

Also, for example, in Vue 3, my favorite component library Buefy (based on Bulma) is no longer available, and I don't think any of the other ones have (arguably) come so close and extensive to what I want.

Vue 2's transition to Vue 3 (if you want to use the new CLI tools and the Composition API) had to, by definition, fragment the ecosystem in unpleasant ways no matter how carefully and sensibly it was managed by the core teams in charge.

You can see that Vue went down slightly in recent developer surveys, and I suspect this to be among the main reasons. As if Evan himself would be suddenly more focused on his build tool Vite as opposed to Vue itself (of course it's just an illusion).

But I still love Vue because of their amazing docs, and the fact that they let me enter the world of web-development in a relatively accessible manner (this may not have been possible with React, for me personally). Lack of something like scoped styles alone baffles me in React to this day, but it makes kinda sense in the ecosystem it's operating in...
Currently microsoft product line like SharePoint, Dynamics (Power Apps), Office, Teams, etc, etc is based on FluentUI https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/fluentui#/ components that gives also the developers a close enough solution to extend UI within said products.
Yes. I agree.

I think this is the root of the problem. They do not attempt to compute a price.
Twitch walked so that onlyfans could run.

not even a joke. a lot of OF performers use their twitch as a marketting arm.
I have family that has been on the front lines of fighting global poverty and corruption, for their entire life (more than 50 years -at the very highest levels).

I submit that it is not hyperbole to say that probably 95% of all global human problems can have their root cause traced to poverty. That is not a scientific number, so don't ask for a citation (it ain't happening).
Very cool. I stand corrected. "It's Amazon's first Delivery EV in the United States"
My neighborhood has buried lines. We've lost power a handful of times in the last 5 years, usually due to extreme cold(Midwest), or animals getting into power station equipment. Admittedly not day-long outages though. So far the extreme cold cases have been luckily short, so it wasn't a big concern, but if they were longer then I would've been wishing for some sort of backup power for my gas furnace or for a wood stove.
Please share a copy of that email.
As an example, Russia's launch sites are all suboptimal. Baikanur is at about the latitude of Quebec (not exactly the equator), the launch path is over land, and it's in Kazakhstan instead of in Russia. They recently opened Vostochny on the Russian East coast which improves two of those points, at the cost of being even further north.

For most things, including servicing the ISS, it's perfectly adequate, and for satellites that go into polar orbits it doesn't matter, but some orbits are hard to reach from those launch sites because of the inclination. In the past Russia has used ESA's launch site in French Guiana for those, but that's not an option for them right now.

Predictions for 2030
When they said "those with gas appliances can still heat their homes," I assume they meant using the gas stove as a contigency heat source.

Recommended? Of course not. But a lot of (especially rural propane) users do it to avoid freezing pipes and people.

SF maybe not so much, but in climates where you can literally die without heat (often because you're simultaneously "snowed in"), you really really want dissimilar redundancy.

(obviously NEVER heat with a stove, because as we all know you'll burn down your house and/or asphyxiate from carbon monoxide)
The problem with SVBs bonds is that they're long term, so if they need the money early they have to sell them at a loss.
Commercial jets are not required to have Carbon Monoxide detectors? The Cessna 172 I flew for flight training had one of these $5 color-changing detectors. Surely we should have comprehensive monitoring for CO and volatiles.

Well for one thing Twitch has the advantage of being primarily gaming-focused, whereas YouTube is at its core a generic video host with no particular focus.

But YouTube has also completely destroyed their entire concept of having a "YouTube community" over the years. There might be something of various creator communities in various niches, but the heavy censorship, mess of a comments section that does everything in its power to halt any form of conversation, leaving only spam and idiots in most comment sections, etc. left it with nothing of a community, or any real creator/consumer dynamic.

YouTube no longer has private nor direct messages, so if people want to communicate they have to do it on another platform. It's also just a bit of a mess with the transition from the original idea of "everyone has an anonymous handle" to "every must have their Google+ profile linked and use their real name" to "Google+ is dead and now some people have silly handles and some people are real people." The whole thing adds up to make for a place with no coherent community.
> Well, bummer. I have a mature product using React Components which are now legacy. It looks like in the future, I'll slowly migrate these over to functional components, as is standard in the documentation.

The writing has been on the wall for 4 years that hooks are the future. You _can still_ use class components. Function component with hooks is the simplest API you can get to React itself—classes are more of an abstraction.

> I'm disappointed by the fanatical adoption of hooks, but I saw it coming and I can't say their legacy documentation didn't warn me.

We all adopted hooks because it makes things easier to reason about. If you’re still having trouble understanding them, I’d urge you to dig deeper into how they and React works.

> I might finally invest some time into what it looks like to create front ends independent of any of the existing frameworks that exist today, which I think is probably controversial, but I want the decisions I make to last longer than the whimsy of engineering teams who don't care that they might change their mind in 10 years.

I can’t think of a better way to develop an appreciation of UI frameworks that to go without.

> I want the decisions I make to last decades, not just a few years. I don't think that's a sentiment appreciated by most, though.

Barely any software runs untouched for decades (documents don’t count). So it’s not that the sentiment isn’t appreciated, I think most of us would agree—it’s that it’s an impractical expectation.
You're both right. People will use ChatGPT to screen candidates to the extent that the money they save by doing so is greater than the money they lose by getting a worse candidate, a calculus that will depend on the job.
Anecdotally, in the hellscape sprawl of Phoenix, lights tend to be longer in the outer reaches of the suburbs. The grids are larger, the roads are wider, and there you must sit while each disparate line of cars takes its turn rushing off to wherever. And there is where I tend to see people brazenly running red lights.

It seems to me that adding cameras, with their legal problems and perverse incentives to shorten yellow light times, leads directly to a worse outcome without treating any problem.

Rather to make an actual scalable difference, it needs to be decided if these roads are going to be the highways they're mostly built as and treated like, or streets designed for people. Some certainly need to be highways, but if that is to be the case the designer needs to finish the job. Throwing a stoplight and a 45mph sign at the problem is a lazy solution that no one takes seriously precisely because it does not fit the application. Red light cameras similarly ignore the problem while adding somewhat to it.
GhatGPT gets lucky a lot. And it sounds confident all the time. So the times it happens to be right get publicized way more. I think eventually, people will learn what it’s really good at, and things will be less hyperbolic.
As a programming newbie, I would love to see a hard fork of React without Hooks (and their magic)
I suspect that's by design. My gut tells me that Amazon wants a bunch of people to quit, to try to avoid another embarrassing round of layoffs and so that they don't have to pay severance.
> obscuring magical details and making side effects seem like more of a big deal than they really are in programming seems like a design choice intended to infantilize engineers and shelter them from reality.

You seem to be taking it too personal. There's no need to call others infants for preferring hooks.
It's notable - if not outright suspicious - that banning gas appliances hit the news cycle after a major source of European natural gas was cut off.

It's really pretty easy to understand. Imagine if some tech company went from fine to bankrupt overnight in a surprise to everyone. All the shareholders zeroed, not just management but public shareholders, employees, etc. Would you seriously be surprised that all those people who lost their shares would be upset?

Hell, even with just layoffs the outrage on this site has been deafening. I can see shareholders and employees of SVB rightly being pissed off. It's not your place to tell them they should not be.
> `Document.createElement()` and use native event handling.

I'm not a frontend dev by all means, but I must say, I've worked on such projects (100LOC create utils & event handling) and it was a joy. I always wanted to recommend it to people when they complain about the state of js frameworks, but I felt I've no authority to do so, because my experience is limited (only internal projects).
>Get a lawyer, ensure it's not enforcable, then sign it.

There's a lot of daylight (and a few thousand dollars in legal fees) between "would be thrown out upon casual perusal" and "is not technically enforceable, but we'd have to litigate in front of a sympathetic judge".

The issue has never, EVER been whether or not Jimmy John's non-compete is enforceable, its that a person leaving a Jimmy John's for a $0.50/hr raise at the Burger King across the street can't afford to litigate it, and the Burger King franchisee definitely won't pay to litigate it.

For those of us who can afford a lawyer to analyze a non-compete clause (and the barest of legal fees necessary to show in front of a judge such a clause), they aren't really an issue. But that's actually a pretty small subset of the population.
You're asking Microsoft to undo a very Microsoft oddity that Microsoft seems to use just about everywhere. Good luck!
Yes, as someone who has done volunteer telemarketing, we mark the call status. For example if you’re angry/rude, non-English speaking, disconnected, etc. Campaign managers can then target call sheets accordingly (e.g. for a Spanish-speaking line, have the Spanish team do a follow up call).
Thanks, Ajit Pai. Just in time.
I found the whole start of the article very difficult to read. In the end I gave up trying to understand your words and instead looked at the data to find out what you actually meant. This article would be much better if you removed the whole Noir detective story bits.

Italo Calvino was a part of Oulipo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oulipo), a group of French and Italian writers and mathematicians who would purposefully invent constrained writing techniques for fun. One was that you could only use the language from McDonald's ads to tell a story. Another was an entire 300 page novel written without the letter e. They very much were having a laugh and enjoying the playfulness of language as a group.

That is very fixable. With $500/month of potential savings the return on investment is very high.

1. That'll cut down on your heating bill.

2. How many people need a server that expensive? To do what?
I don't mean to downplay; clearly and surely this should be investigated.

But actually, I typo'd quite badly: the ratio is 1 in 700000, not 1 in 15000 (how did I make that mistake?)

Anyways, I hope it's clear that a 1 in 700000 event is hard to detect.
As much as I love being called adorable at my advanced age, I have no clue what you're on about and I'm morbidly curious.
I won't immediately update, since future feature development will take priority, but eventually I will want to update since the current industrial risk is that surrounding dependencies may have bugs that are a risk to customers.

It's a low likelihood, but I'd rather stay up to date when I can.
Which itself is React, to be clear.

For 1 sec I thought the domain was "fys" (f. yourself) hahah.
A lot of people seem to think we can only accomplish a transition away from fossil fuels after alternatives for fossil fuel driven appliances are available, fully scaled up, and cheap. That won’t happen without demand.

Given that nobody cares about their furnace as long as it works, and that in the Bay Area these decisions are made by landlords about every 20 years, who are just trying to get the job done as fast as possible at the lowest price, just banning the gas burning version is a great way to create the necessary demand to accomplish this transition on schedule.*

*”on schedule” here means “in enough time to mitigate climate change enough to prevent the release of exotic diseases from permafrost”
Communication isn't about you meant, it's about what the person you're communicating to thought you meant.
What if you are a "closed source developer" at work but an open-source one during your free time? What if you are a billionaire codes? What if… etc. You could make TL;DR's targeted at specific audiences, but you still need the same introduction for everyone.
That's literally how it works in big corps and how it should work in general - company property should be paid for by the company, and the companies liability in case anything goes wrong.

You should not be giving your $x (it does not matter that its only 5) to the company.
There are 2 audiences: 1 with impact and 1 with 100% impact. The relative size of those audiences is irrelevant to the people in the audience.

They could add a general ban of "intentional sexual behavior", which is vague enough to apply common sense and affect just the people who were meant to be affected. Similar to how a judge can use common sense to interpret vague terms in the law.

Paul Graham wrote an article [0] on this that provided some insight into this for me. I still don’t completely get it but that’s probably because I’m not that kind of person either, or maybe we just haven’t found the thing yet that is able to drive us on all cylinders with no brakes.

Great to hear! You peaked my interest now! I would love to know more about your usecase! Would you be open to join our discord to talk about it?
I think this is too harsh a take, at least without knowing more. There are some managers and shops where "find something useful to do" is encouraged, or at least accepted. I was shocked to discover later in my career that there are plenty of shops that are _not_ like that. High-paying shops, even, or perhaps especially.

Why? For starters, some companies are rich, and they can afford to waste a lot of money. Think of all of those interviews you've been on that waste your time and that of the interview loop, even though it's clear that they have never intended to hire. Or maybe just 1 in 500. (One company I was hired at boasted to me about the "500". Ugh.)

Or, at least in the trading world, things can be very secretive. You might have the skills to contribute, but no one will even talk to you, for fear that you'll steal the secret sauce.

Mostly it's just simple managerial incompetence.

The employer/employee match is sort of like a key and lock. In order for it to work, _all_ of the pins have to align. It's not enough to be a skilled, team-player, etc., employee. Your employer also has to bring several things to the table. Sometimes they just don't.
> So let’s have a closer look at her (blush) anatomy…

This is cringe and creepy. Although the subject is interesting, I really couldn’t read past that.
Who has more "power" in the arrangement seems to be a function of the business cycle. Employees, in tech (we are on hackernews), had far more power 1-2 years ago.

Why does there need to be a law here? Why don't employees say: "If you want a non-compete you have to pay me $X/hr more" or conversely if non-competes are common : "you can pay me $X/hr less if there is no non-compete".

That this doesn't happen, and that there isn't a wiley entrepreneur out there figuring out that "if everyone would take X less for non-compete job, I'll offer then X/2 and make bank!". Since this doesn't happen, this means that employees don't care much at all.
More like—if you can do something that's very, very unlikely to benefit you, but also costs you nothing and cannot hurt you, you may as well do it (unless you care about, like, ethics or any of that mumbo-jumbo)
What I find to be cynical and diversionary about this whole debate space is the implication that AGI is finally what we will have lost control over, as if so far in agriculture, industrialization, and computing, we’ve had things perfectly under control.

The system effectively handles those calls, managing to keep the scammer on the line for a few seconds at a time, ultimately wasting their time. However, this approach is becoming less entertaining, as scammers appear to be increasingly aware of the robotic responses, diminishing its effectiveness.
