> I’m convinced that managers and companies don’t want productivity from their employees, what they want is alignment and legibility.

That's like saying managers and companies don't want productivity from their employees, they want developers to write lots of tests under the guise of making code more robust, lots of documentation under the guise of making it more maintainable, and do lots of code review to ensure it meets the team's standards of quality.

If we didn't have to do all that testing, documentation, and code review, we'd be able to move a lot faster!

Speed and productivity aren't synonymous.
Well, some people think 3 inserts per second is fast, so maybe it gives some perspective? To be fair, I wouldn’t expect those to hang around hackernews though.
Solitaire in windows 10 has ads. If you want to disable, you’ve got to pay.
I’m actually wondering how long those stations will survive, given that routing around traffic bottlenecks is becoming the domain of smartphone apps.
Do you have evidence for the Pret claim? I tried to look for some but did not find anything which suggested that it is true.
Unfortunately the Information Assurance part of NSA’s mission seems to have diminished dramatically in the 21st century.

It's just something someone described their brain "breaking" as, and I was curious whether the GP had the same symptom.
Ask HN: Career After FAANG?
Hello Hacker News. After around a decade at FAANG I’ll be voluntarily leaving my job in a few weeks. I plan on taking the summer off to do some travel, catch up with family and friends, and work on a few hobby projects. After that, I plan a return to the workforce. I’m in my late 40s but I’m not terribly worried about the ‘ageism in tech’ thing. Real though it may be, I’m confident in my ability to land on my feet. I have the bona fides to jump back in — along with a 12+ month of runway to be a bit picky.

I’ve already made my decision. So at this point I’m just curious about stories from the other side of the mountain. For the folks who left your FAANG-like careers, how did it turn out for you in the months and years after?
That's patently untrue. There were a few kernel patches necessary only a year ago to make certain EAC games work.

Here are all the games I play regularly with no problem:

- League of Legends

- Counter-Strike Global Offensive

- Apex Legends

- VRChat

- Civilization VI

- Factorio

- RimWorld

- Path of Exile

- Skyrim

- Final Fantasy XIV

And my performance is usually better.
Honestly, AM and FM radio are antiquated shit.

Radio should be digital, and preferably lossless.

There’s no reason Stereo FLAC, 16 bit 44.1khz audio at about 1000 kbps couldn’t be delivered.
Comment engineer. It’s a job that’s already been made redundant by prompt engineers. A prompt engineer can spin up hundreds of comments in seconds that would have taken dozens of comment engineering man hours. We should also be worried about legal engineers and legislation engineers.
AM radio is a niche use case. I've never used AM radio in my life. User first development means that you need to include every niche feature a user may want.
> they're uninterested in actually competing.

Microsoft has not had the need to compete on the merits of their software for very long, and this is really by design.

In the corporate world they sell to people who can't make informed choices and will never be held accountable for the choices they make.

In the home market they mange to get pre-installed on most hardware.
This has genuinely worked for reducing cognitive load for me.
While the RAE recommends calling the language Spanish, it recognizes that Castilian is a synonym of Spanish. [1]

My personal experience also corroborates this. In common usage, Castilian is the same language as Spanish and in fact I hear people from Spain refer to the language as Castilian, even when talking about the language as spoken in Latin America, regardless of the Academy's prescription.

Not really, but it's hard to tell through the jargon.

The point is that the Caymans are neutral territory for tax purposes. If you're in the US, you owe US taxes on the profits in your Cayman fund. Likewise, if you're in Canada, you owe Canadian taxes on the profits on your Cayman funds. This is better than setting your investment vehicle up in Delaware, because if you do that, your Canadian investor will have to pay US taxes (that they don't owe) and then spend months trying to get the money back.

The on-shore US regulations are crazy enough that US based institutional investors (like pension funds) will get nervous at the lack of professionalism if you aren't using a Cayman vehicle.
Er... It sounds like the comment above condones outright software theft. I do oppose that.

If an HN comment discusses an idea that could help in a personal software project, I would want to try my own implementation.

I don't mean go to the (possibly GPL'd) repo and just copy-paste everything.

At the same time, if it's my own project--even so a business plan, an investment strategy, or hardware schematic--attribute the credits, and go try it out.

The reason I'm on the fence with starting out proprietary or with the first commit including the LICENSE is that the latter is safest; and, it's easier to build with the intent to share from the start, then to clean it up later, even if it's never open-sourced.

But if it's exercise 7 of chapter 4 from a textbook, it's harder to predict a large, popular project grew out of that. Adding a license to everything seems overkill. Disciplined, but overkill.
I agree with your general point. However:

> Before: everyone had one wage earner per household. Prices for goods meets this reality.

This was only relatively well-to-do couples. Industrial economies were really good at expanding the middle class, but they never got rid of the lower classes in which both spouses had to work (and, of course, unmarried adults had to work regardless of sex). Labor force participation rate for women increased from a low of about 32% in 1948 (the earliest this chart goes) to a high of about 60% from about the mid-1990s to 2009. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300002

According to table 2 (page 4) of this BLS document (https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2001/05/art3full.pdf ), a four-person family in 1947 could have a "modest but adequate" lifestyle on a budget of $2904. The median income for a family then was about $3000, while the median income for an individual not in a family was about $1000 (https://www.census.gov/library/publications/1949/demo/p60-00... ). The federal minimum wage of $0.40/hour in 1947 would gross about $800/year for 40 hours a week. So the income necessary for a modest but adequate lifestyle for a family was about 3.75x the minimum wage at our current labor standard hours. Today, with a minimum wage of $7.25/hour, that 3.75x would be $27/hour, or about $54,000/year.

I'd speculate that even today a person with a typical engineer's salary, like then, could support a family at at least "modest but adequate" standards on a single income. But a typical laborer's salary would be stretching it, whether back then or today. Heck, the Turpin parents managed to do it with 13 kids, though they abused the hell out of those kids.
> Along with this, you need async I/O. This is primarily for log files and managed files. When you do a write, you get two callbacks, one when the buffer has been copied, and one when the data has been committed to permanent storage and will survive a crash.

This is what you want if you need to communicate the durability guarantee to the outside world, but if you’re just trying to enforce some consistency guarantees for internal purposes (e.g. transaction journal write goes out before data write), callbacks impose an unnecessary CPU-disk-CPU roundtrip. That’s what Featherstitch[1] was trying to avoid. Or is that not worth it?

More generally, how does this compare to other throughput-oriented queue-adjacent things, such as GPU commands buffers and fences, or Linux io_uring and Windows RIO? (A comparison to NIC queues is probably less interesting because NICs don’t reorder things—or do they? What about radios?) Do all of these need to be separate mechanisms?

Sudden thought: Featherstitch is to completion callbacks as promise pipelining[2] is to traditional RPC.

The modularity and keyboards of the older Thinkpads (e.g., X220) were worth the extra bulk. But the new laptops sure are pretty, thin and light.
Sorry, I sent early. That’s good for public optics but it doesn’t really make a difference, because it’s still money that disappears from the system.

I edited my post to make it more useful. Good luck, feel free to email me if you want to chat.
So there’s one already - acarbose - it kinda blocks metabolizing starch and hence blocks its uptake. You don’t get diarrhea (that’s just because my idea tried to block the transporter which also transports sodium). But acarbose blocks starch metabolism so the bacteria in your tummy metabolize it and make you incredibly and unbearably flatulent. So not something you want to do if you have anyone else in your home lol.
Please stop linking to Ted Chiang's article. I like him as an imaginative writer, but his article is just wrong and gives readers incorrect intuitions. His claim that GPT models are not able to learn decimal addition has been known to be false for years and you can verify yourself that GPT-4 can do it.
But that’s not what the license says. The license says that it’s perfectly fine to make 1:1 clones and sell them or even give them away. If the community expectation is otherwise then either pick a different license or disabuse the community members of the idea that everyone will have the same interpretation of the license they do.
Surprised it went through. In fact, it did now show up when I first posted. Oops.
California's Central Valley is a monument to "You can't get people to believe something that affects their paycheck."

The correct solution is to shut this area down permanently. It isn't sustainable and the reason for the "subsidence" is that the agribusinesses have been pumping water from the aquifer and collapsed those layers which will now never refill.

The problem people don't get is that "global warming" means less consistent weather--not less weather. It means more extreme precipitation--more torrential rains as well as more extended droughts.
The support is that the author needed to neutralize competence, risk, skin in the game, and the real as a straw man before the rest of his points could be made.

That rhetorical neutralization for its own sake, and holding it as equivalent to a positive case is the belief in nothing that I referred to. We can do fancy versions of 'no, you' but the Achillies heel of a lot of critical ideas is that they are in fact, only critics and spectators who don't have any respectable standing for the things they are problematizing, and reconciling that with the actual experience of the man in the arena is the limit on the value of their contribution.

My point is, having opinions about the things others actually, physically do, particularly from the perspective of the artifacts of ideology, is arguing from a moral position of weakness. The reason that Breaking Bad meme is so popular is because there is an essential quality to the statement, "we are not the same." The competency of the man in the arena is not something one gets to affect.
Also it rained today.

OPEC gonna OPEC.
Hosting is the easy part. Monetization is the hard part. Substack writers indirectly promote Substack. With a static site, you are on your own. Although, I admit I do not fully understand the concern. Does substack establish any exclusivity? Can I not simply repost my content if I decide the leave or the site goes away

Some do. It's not black and white but there are losses.
If his non-Anglo parents had been born in somewhere like Galway, Chennai, or Hong Kong in 1900, and had similarly come to the US in 1923, it is very unlikely that his New York Times obituary would read simply “born to British parents…” even if they had indeed lived as subjects under British colonial rule. They would more likely have been identified with the modern nationality (i.e. “born to Irish parents…”), or perhaps with an epithet acknowledging the colonialism, such as “British Raj”.
If you think the average person engages in all of the behaviors listed above, you should start hanging around different people.
And that normative sense succeeds in separating humanity from nature, creating an "Us vs It" narrative that makes pollution easier to ignore.

After all, if everything humanity does is pollution, why single any specific acts out?
You can't push demand down people's throats even if they are receptive to EVs. Where are renters going to plug in their state mandated vehicles? Homeowners who don't have a secure place to plug in? People who can't afford electrical upgrades? Sucks to be them, go ride a bus?

Are mainstream Linux distros as user-friendly to a 10-year-old as the other two operating systems, even if the latter are more anti-consumer? As the article states the author was trying to set up a first-time computer for his son. Which flavor of Linux to install is clearly an important factor for such an audience, as it makes distros like Arch out of the question.
Calcolatore (my university teacher told me that. Nobody in Italy would use that), mouse, touchpad, schermo touch, scanner, web depends on how you use it: internet or "rete", collegamento, applicazione, base di dati (university course was named like that. Most people call it database professionally), no idea about word processor (I rarely use that in English too), bit, byte, floppy, hard disk is "disco rigido", schermo, chiavetta usb, not sure about power unit, scheda madre, cartelle, icone, programmi, processi, finestre, bottoni, ordinare, filtrare, ricerca, righe, colonne, celle, fogli
These issues are not just in windows. Same can be said for Android, iOS, Mac....

After chargeback fraud debacle, CEO says fintech in Africa ‘isn’t child’s play’
I wonder if there is a large difference in audience. Pickups are kind of just minivans for today’s smaller families, with a little different cultural associations. Large cities are packed full of them.

The long distance of AM is nice for high school sports. Every now and then I try to tune a little high school football in on the car radio, and it’s niche enough programming that it’s not as if I can change to a different station carrying it when I go out of range. Even pro sports I prefer AM for, who knows why.
There are a few mentioned in this discussion: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-m6GFs3GuU0&feature=youtu.be

I haven’t read any of them myself or I’d recommend them directly, but your question brought this to mind.
You can do this with Pro and a group policy setting. Yeah it's not optimal, but most of us that use Windows professionally (IT/Dev at least) already have this set up.
Even if you purchase your own TLD, you're still required to pay $19,000 per year for it.

Pretty cool to see this, and that it's still alive and well.

Pascal was my first language, but only because it happened to be used for scripting repetitive tasks for a game I played. I had a blast, even though there were far more modern options.
Its kind of ridiculous. This is like a 1970s thing. To jump on this now is kind absurd.
> It's false that people now have more leisure time, in fact we have less than ever before.

This chart and supporting material argue that over the last 150 years annual working hours per worker drastically declining. That lets me believe that leisure time is increasing. https://ourworldindata.org/working-more-than-ever

Where do you think they're wrong?
ugh, that's so shitty. so many people in this space seem to be absurdly demanding and angry at devs, but one thing I've noticed is that every text AI project discord I've hung out in has this sleazy, obsessive 4chan /g/ vibe hiding somewhere in it.
Check the proton database. Most games you're thinking of work just fine.

This feels cowardly, like breaking up over the phone.
Very not my field, but I've seen it suggested that attempting to highly constrain response format can degrade semantic quality, so one does separate report and reformatting prompts?

Perhaps ask for json, to simplify the output space?

I imagine in the near future we'll be able to prompt with a json schema, and have it enforced.
>Maybe after a month it successfully indexed the 100KB of text in your start menu

Yet another beef of mine. The Search Indexer runs frequently, chews up a lot of CPU, and always engages my fans into turbo mode. I know that 99% of my files at any given moment are identical to the last month. Windows, you have all the hooks to know the last time a file was modified. Stop re-scanning everything forever.
Which things have you run into lately? Just curious!
Is there any analysis/record of why they made the decision? Or is that kept secret?
this seems like overkill to avoid installing a critical piece of work software like video chat
The game warns you before the final quest though no?
This law IMHO is a expression of manifest incompetence because the ART.11 of Italian Constitution guarantee freedom of speech of opinion, so the "Corte Costituzionale" , the Italian tribunal competent in matter of constitutional question will abrogate this law at first instance. This is a sterile expression of blind nationalism and an offence to our constitutional values.
If it were easy it would be done already. But the important strategy is to make sure it only takes winning decisively once, rather than winning decisively and leaving room for getting undermined in the future. Priority #1 with the next majority should be eliminating voter suppression, eliminating gerrymandering, supporting universal vote-by-mail, and all other factors that prevent the outcome of democracy from actually reflecting what the majority of people want.

> the other side may turn around and say "democracy isn't working for us any more".

They do that already, whether it's true or not. That's not a reason to decide to lose.
Not really. In same way Linux VM running on QNX isn't Linux.

Android is a mess of propietary blobs that runs Linux, but Linux isn't its OS.
Let me think....? Er...? Hm... ... Doh!
I had some emergency a while ago where they insisted on being on a call with 10+ people while it was resolved. After an hour of badgering and applying fixes that all those helpful people thought up I told them I couldn’t focus, went off the call, and fixed the damn thing in 15 minutes.

Being on a call with people trying to be helpful is extremely aggravating.
They like money.
I own two thinkpads as well.
Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35413920
From article:

"
Important examples are hydrogen-based direction reduction (HyDR),[4] hydrogen plasma smelting reduction,[5] and various electrolysis processes (e.g., molten oxides’ electrolysis,[6] molten salt electrolysis,[7] waster-assisted molten salt electrochemical reduction,[8] and electrowinning of solid iron from aqueous solutions[9]). Among these alternatives, the HyDR approach has today reached the highest technology readiness level (TRL 6–8) and is currently being deployed at industrial scale.[2, 10] In this process, green hydrogen should be ideally used, i.e., hydrogen that has been produced using renewable energy sources, generating water instead of carbon dioxide as redox product.[4]

"

This article is trying to make HyDR more green since it's already deployed more at an industrial level compared to alternatives at the moment.
I read it as the proverbial "solving social problems with technical solutions" conflict.

The problem is reciprocity, and they're trying to find a technical setup (a license) to help solve it. You're right that they may have failed, which is the reason of the change in course.
After exam week in college, I'd go home and just sit in front of the TV for a week and veg. Then I was ready to go back and get back to work.

(Exam week is more or less studying from wake up to going back to sleep, with exams in between.)
But it's also limiting, for example, you may want to run some perform an action before a resource is deleted and then you have two options:
a) create your own provider that will will handle the provisioning and deprovisioning under the hood
b) use provisioner (e.g. local-exec)

The first option is great if you have time and resources so create your own provider. The second option is what you're more likely to use if you are small and don't have a dedicated team. Also it's convenient if you can achieve 99% with existing providers just need to run one command, but doesn't always work (Terraform has many limitations regarding this).
Yep.

But since you have it, install Chocolatey, using that to manage these next programs (and more, i try to install all my apps through it):

* Install O&O ShutUp to turn all that garbage off. The suggested settings there are pretty good.

* Everything (yes, "Everything" is the name of the program) for actually useable (and good) search, since Windows search sucks for some reason (I can back up other commenters here).

* Bulk Crap Uninstaller to really uninstall stuff (edit registry and delete leftover program files etc). You can use this to uninstall all the junk Windows installs automatically.

There's lots of others but these are my go to. I have base of a bunch of packages and settings I like.
> Nobody went out on the streets because they wanted cookie prompts. We are just letting bureaucrats run the show and tell us we should like it

Umm I do advocate for privacy. And I know many people that do. Feelings about GDPR are generally very positive.

But nobody wanted cookie prompts. They are the result of a shortsighted compromise.

What the EU should have done is simply forbid user tracking or make the user take action if they want to be tracked, no not tracking should be the default. Pop-up questions should have been explicitly forbidden.

However the industry knows that nobody wants to be tracked. And feared a loss of income. So they campaigned to weaken the law. The EU officials in their stupidity agreed. Stupid yes because now the industry blames them for the abundant cookie walls.
They like a strong “alternatives to OPEC oil” industry.
We will see. I have no doubt there will be more layoffs, but the pending/potential recession feels like an excuse. McDonalds is plenty profitable.
