> you happen to live in a place where you don't have such venues like you mention

This is a topic which I am currently experiencing and thinking a lot about.

For those who truly cannot be in lively areas, technology can provide at least some level of connection to the rest of humanity. But I realize now that living location choice can make an enormous difference on quality of life just based on the availability of good social options. And as a techie who has lived most of my life behind a computer, I have recently discovered that real life is much, much more rewarding - if you're in an area where people are not just boxed up in their own homes every night from 6pm+.
Makes no sense. If you’re considering switching to a different provider, getting blocked makes it impossible to continue to use the service?
Iraq war’s damage to public trust in experts has consequences right up to today
If you are talented you will have no problem keeping or landing a new job. The people that have trouble maintaining employment are the ones that are not very good. Tech is about as close to a meritocracy as there is in the US.

There is of course a lot of nepotism and politics but generally if you have talent you will be employed. There is simply too much demand for talented tech people.

The large layoffs are not good but they are course correcting and these companies are still actively hiring despite the billboard layoff announcements.
Is there any obvious reason for toxicity at Twitch? Is it at all related to the type of work being done and its relationship to video game culture? Or does it stem from some business perspective of the management instead?
Ironically, even OP acknowledges this in the next sentence:

"It sounds". But it "appears to be getting better"... appears to whom? How?

What a weird piece.
Not everything at all is using wireless - think about any home stereo or speaker setup.

Also do we really want to move to even LOWER quality codecs for the source material on streaming services? We should be pushing for the opposite - higher quality source material.
Loyal workers are selectively and ironically targeted for exploitation
We’ve arguably had 2 dark ages in western history though they were both localized. Meanwhile people constantly predict imminent disaster.

If there’s anything to learn from history it’s that things might suck but they will probably be relatively ok. Hell the Black Death didn’t doom western civilization and it got really bad.

PS: 500-1500 actually saw a great deal of innovation and improvements to the average persons quality of live compared to the heights of Rome. For a direct competition both total steel production and steel production per person dramatically increased. Socially peasants where dramatically better off than Roman slaves etc.
I don't disbelieve you but I'll bet you any amount of money that the number of cyclists per capita is far higher in Cambridge than it is in Newcastle.

That disparity in itself will change the behaviour of motorists: I'm used to checking every single direction for cyclists before I make a move, even as a pedestrian, because there are just so many of them everywhere.

It's also why you see "Think Bike!" signs along routes popular with motorcyclists. Lots of places in the country there just aren't that many of us compared with car drivers, so people become unused to looking out for us, with sadly predictable consequences.

That's not to excuse drivers in Newcastle, by the way. It's just to point out that you probably see more drivers behaving badly compared with cyclists because of the differences [apologies, my bet on the differences] in the numbers (which I did do a search for but couldn't find anything useful or authoritative).

The projects that made me a better programmer when I was new to the field were all games written for my own amusement.

If I had to single out a single project that I think advanced my understanding the most, it would have to be building a computer from scratch and writing the OS and a C compiler for it.
Show HN: Apparition – CLI app to jump between directories
I've built this CLI app to save directories as aliases and cd into them by alias without having to remember the path.

I guess this kind of thing has been built many times, but for what it's worth, this is my take on it :)

(Also tbh I post this to get at least 2 karma so that I can verify my Keybase.)
Hat tip to you, my friend! A small data point as to how your bad memories balance out the universe.

Despite not having a lot of disposable income, my parents got me a subscription to AA (staring somewhere in the late 80s). Receiving each new edition was the most exciting thing in the world as a kid. I could not wait to get home and see what was on the tape this time. The magic of software that was instilled in me in those moments has stayed with me for life.
congrats on launching!

i honestly feel like a bad user for this but i have yet to adopt a semantic search engine for code for some reason, respite codeium and sourcegraph also offering more advanced code search thingies. any ideas on how to break force of habit?

Huge wheels mostly for safety and for convenience.

Idea, that typical landing strip is ideal road, perfectly flat and clear from garbage, like stones, but not for STOL.
And from automobiles exists empirical rule - wheel could easy deal with obstacles less than 25% of wheel diameter (some sources say about 10%).

STOL specially made for unprepared sites, like agricultural fields or just non-used wasteland, so they could meet stones or grooves, and should safety land in such conditions, and should be convenient for general field procedures.

Even happened tries to make STOL with air cushion, or even crawlers, instead of wheel gear. They fly, but was too sophisticated to be economically comparable to just big wheels.
My optimistic view says that we will see heaps of innovation and new companies emerge from all of the smart tech workers across the industry who are choosing to leave or are being made redundant.

How does YC spit out so many GPT based startups recently, so soon after the LLM mainstream hype started (including ones that were founded years prior)?

Is Sam Altman still involved in YC?
I was there in the early 2000s metldown. What is different today is lack of easy money, also these jobs are likely never coming back, having so much automated is changing the world very rapidly and the powers that be have no plan it would seem besides perhaps having a nuclear war intentionally to "clear out" the population of 99.9% of humans.
Would you mind sharing some non specific examples of toxicity. I’ve been thinking about this of late. Every job has crap but some good parts. I think different orgs have varying kinds/levels of toxicity.
This seems like breathing into your microphone such that the voice transcription thinks you just said a sentence in Thai and then you assume the garbage data came from someone else’s session and that you just hacked the system.

It’s like that meme of the anime character looking at that butterfly (“garbage in, garbage out”) and going “this is haxx”.

Chatgpt is exposing so called techies as the superstitious, egotistical users (yuck!!) that we complain about. It’s amusing.
That's not true - my last two companies have done haircuts along with layoffs. At my current company we were promised a bonus of Nx the haircut at a certain point in time as compensation...though whether that happens or not is still to be seen.
When you frame it this way, you're telling me that given the choice women would not want to have children which means there's nothing wrong with our declining fertility rates. People simply don't want children anymore.
Unpriced climate risk and overvaluation in US housing markets
>overpopulation starts killing people

Overcrowding is a huge issue in large metropolises despite low fertility rates and this happened in Seoul last year: https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/11/asia/seoul-flooding-banjiha-b...

The government lazily responded by banning such housing without announcing any initiatives to provide affordable housing.
Dropbox (from the a16z article) to me is the exception that proves the point.

What percentage of COGS is your cloud/infstracture spend? If your products don't look like cloud infrastructure (aka Dropbox), it better be very small. If you think cloud is costing you 1000% what it would cost on-premise, that's almost certainly a spend and architectural discipline problem, not a cloud problem.
Making me wonder if I should update my Soundcores. I have the exercise oriented ones (with the little ear hooks) but firmware updates have been pretty smooth so far.
Apple didn't "invent" the GUI and Columbus didn't discover America, but they popularized it, at least among a certain set.

No one was popularized RISC-V yet. Maybe Asus will be the one!
Thanks ;)

I have no problem with climate action, but the religious tendency is too obvious at this point. Clearly Gretha is our virgin Mary, she is not there because of her knowledge, but because she represent innocence, purity.

I think we should balance our actions against other causes that are also vitaly important and be careful with giving too much power to government at this moment.

Ironically the activists movement (greenpeace) blocked much of the development of nuclear energy, one of the best solution we had many many years ago.

Now solar, batteries, wind and EV are completely decarbonizing the energy sector and activist are trying to block mines projects that could help make batteries.

I think the solutions is mostly not austerity, taxes and more government, it’s more technology, more developpement.

(I would make exceptions for forever chemicals, air quality, ocean and diversity protection)
I'd try to determine all I could about the hardware before possibly taking it. If the hardware could be scavenged or individual nodes were useful I'd try to break it down and sell it on ebay. I don't have the money or electrical service to run a data center in my basement. Even if I did my wife and children would not be allow it.
> tech engineers dont need it - because if you dont like it you can simply leave to another employer.

This is my whole point. This is only true for some, and it's not distributed according to merit. People get mistreated all the time at both tech and non-tech companies, even in career fields that are traditionally high-paying and high-mobility. The only way to stop that in a way that also promotes a relatively free labor market is for workers to self-organize, and for the government to legally protect their right to do so.

I understand your concerns about communism. Nobody in their right mind is proposing that we bring communism to the USA. The fortunate workers who have market power uniting to support for their fellows who lack market power is not itself communism, nor does it lead to communism. American labor unions are not communism, and never will be.

The USA once developed a strong tradition and culture of organized labor that brought us out of the brutality of the 19th century Industrial Revolution. There were plenty of smaller socialist and even anarchist groups at the time, but in general most people were not that radical, and no group anything resembling the Bolsheviks ever gained popular support in the USA.

Ironically however, communism indirectly enabled big business to crush that tradition of organized labor, because the Red Scare of the early 20th century allowed them to label pro-labor policy as socialist or communist and therefore anti-American and anti-freedom.

If anything, the kinds of labor unions that people join the USA are a uniquely capitalist institution, being dedicated specifically to the purpose of balancing asymmetric market power.
Another reminder that you owe these companies no shred of loyalty, and should be willing to jump ship at first notice.

I love it how the older generations today are astounded how employees have no loyalty towards the company, and are job hopping like crazy.

Doesn't matter how good your team is, how nice your manager is, always look out for yourself first. And always squeeze as much as money as possible from companies.
Cool, kinda like buildt.ai I used before. That cannot inject code. Can you do that? You're in YC I'd expect your products to better than what's out there.

Has anyone seen any standardized self-reported disclosure formats to indicate if any content has been autogenerated?

The parallels to organic and fair-trade certificates seem obvious here, but the direction is opposite. Such admission would indicate to the audience that a portion of what they consume has been autogenerated - which I guess is a negative or at least neutral indicator.
Getting Waydroid to run well on Linux has big issues still unfortunately if you wanted to use it to play Android games. Managed to get it working for a few months on a previous Ubuntu version, now can't get it to work at all.
I also had a major problem with yellowjackets. Clouds of them! That turned out to be caused by cedar shingles, as those were ideal nesting places for the yellowjackets. The roof was getting old anyway, and so I had it replaced with asphalt shingles. No more yellowjackets.
I found things that people told me were too difficult for a singular person to tackle and tackled those.

Gentoo, OpenSuSE, and Slackware have been around for some time. I'm not sure what there is to check out there -- they're fairly well known entities at this point.

Something something Gentoo complier broke something, etc.

SuSE is a known quantity because of it's SAP ties and YaST.

Never heard of the other two, though, and the article didn't give me a strong idea of the value adds outside of "it doesn't use this library".

Why does MacOS feel like a toy? It's the primary OS for a huge number of developers (at least in the Bay Area) who are doing plenty of production work on it every day.

Fully support bringing a well supported Linux distro to the hardware but MacOS is nothing like ChromeOS or some sort of thin client operating system.

Luckily that aligns with the singularity timeline. AGI will have a very good carrot for us to agree on its terms.
From my own experience, my marriage went through a rough patch. Though for us, divorce is not something we believe is permissible in most cases. This forced us to work through our problems with the help of a therapist. With lots of hard work and time, we were eventually able to resolve all of our issues. Our marriage is now better than ever - we are happier, more intimate and better able to communicate than we ever were before.

Not having a exit hatch pushed us to persevere with our problems. I think if we had had less of a sense of comittment, then one or other of us would have bailed, and caused both of us and our kids a huge amount of suffering.
I 100% agree
It was 9 billion. UBS is on the hook for the first five billion in losses, the Swiss National Bank for the next nine, and UBS anything else above that.

Currently high fertility families are concentrated on the two extreme ends of the wealth spectrum, the ultra-rich and the ultra-poor. That's not a great sign for human society's already dreadful wealth inequality.
When you open devtools, by default it will try to load source code maps for your JS and CSS.

Very simple for a system to detect the request for the map file.

If that's their vector turn off the autoloader and try from a clean IP.

Fantastic work by the Asahi team, it's great to see this come together and the blog posts are excellent summaries of information I otherwise wouldn't be able to grok.
I'm too pessimistic about your claims to try.
Azure has an on prem version to facilitate (and monetize) that transition.

I don’t like Azure and won’t use them again but this seems like a smart approach for MS to take.
Farmlands and suburbs are completely different things, especially in the context of urban development.

Industrial zones are also a completely different category entirely.

Living in Germany, most German cities do not have anything that is comparable to a U.S. "suburb". Building codes demand a quite high density, even for single family homes for new developments and older developments have the tendency to get denser as the demand for housing in a city rises.

German planning law specifically aims to concentrate development as much as possible, to limit encroachment on agricultural lands and nature. Doesn't always work out, but we have very little of the "urban sprawl" that is so characteristic of U.S. urban planning.
Making a claim then telling other people to prove it for you is not how evidence works.
Finding a file I already know the name of is not a problem. And Ctrl/Cmd+F works just fine for that.

What I personally use the file explorer in a PR for is for various other things.

* Quick overview of the "complexity" of the change. If I see a huge list of files or files "all over the place" that let's my spidey senses tingle. Much more so than a simple "X files changed" bit of text could.
* Navigating around the changeset by most interesting area first. E.g. I might see at a glance that there are changes in three folders of interest and the rest are less important. I don't read PRs from top to bottom like Github tries to make you. I find that unnatural.
* I can also easily, visually, jump around between these areas/files to cross references changes without having to remember their names or scrolling a lot.
* In large changes (lots of files in lots of places - it happens sometimes) I can collapse folders that are not interesting or that I'm done with. The fact that I already opened a file once does not tell me anything really as I tend to jump around between files to cross reference things. In fact one great feature to have is to mark a file as "unread" again. Which IIRC Crucible had.

YMMV as always and Github does have this as well now, so we're good :)
They also have a name that sounds the same as a video conferencing solution:

They’re sold as tank shirts or A shirts by the manufacturers.

It’s always nice to compliment dudes with “nice tank top bro”
But we do care about those people, but if there's not enough people to properly take care of all people we want to care for, shifting some of the tasks (not all, that is not desirable nor possible) seems the best solution. Giving more care in total with the same amount of people.

In an ideal world, there's enough care for everyone, but in an aging population, that is not possible.
I believe there are multiple techniques. One of them is detecting an abrupt decrease in the viewport size.
They should have literally lit the billions on fire instead and made an NFT of it, then they might actually have something of 'value'.
Not to mention the predatory subscription models that are rampant in mobile for software that is equally as broken, just costing more.

Yes it does. Say you're an agency sending email on behalf of several different organizations. If you export one to send through CampaignMonitor (usually list or domain approval related), the employee who pulled the HTML gets their hand slapped by the IP ban. It's less likely to happen next time with a different campaign or different client. I haven't actually experienced the IP ban but I've sent for the same organization through multiple ESPs without quitting one for good.

Even if you are a single organization user and leaving for good, you might do so gradually or perform test sends first. Speaking from experience again.
> 3. Java just doesn't encourage such terrible cleverness that Scala (and to a lesser extent python and js) invites. This might be cultural too where Scala has this functional programming fanatics segment who love the cats library a little too much. But never have I ever before seen so much code that's just intractable to junior devs, and requires far too much brain-CPU for mids and seniors to read. Sure you can get into a lot of trouble with Java's reflection, but IME many java devs are suitably reluctant to go reflection crazy.

Java has improved significantly in this regard, but Java used to be the poster child for overly clever intractable code. It mostly been relagated to memes and legacy code, but AbstractFactoryFactory used to be the way of writing Java code, where everything was supposed to happen through a dozen layers of indirection.

Some repackers actually pay for dedicated seedboxes. There's Dodi for instance who by his own account pays $100 per month keeping games up.

They used to have mandatory conscription in the DE, no? IIRC one way out of that was to do your time in service in hospitals and similar service roles. Perhaps that's not so crazy...
Can't wait indeed, they will be excellent BSD machines when all is said and done.
EventBridge is probably a better option than cron. Unless you’re doing something crazy, you’ll be in the free tier. And if you need some compute, Lambda is right there (probably also in the free tier). Just keep an eye on CWL retention.
My cynical self says this is the primary reason for political rhetoric - to distract the populace from what's really going on that will have a direct impact on their lives. Such as banking.

I don't care which political religion you subscribe to, people need to understand all politicians worship the same god: money, and all the power money provides.

Our "leaders" aren't serving their country, they're lining their pockets. With our money. I'm amazed at how docile Americans have been after being robbed so many times. You can thank rhetoric for that.
