Maybe the marketing people can do some market analysis and figure out that trying bully software developers back into the office so that marketing people can have a captive audience for their extroversion isn't a great path forward and instead is creating incredible amounts of resentment and even hostility. Maybe they should go hang out at the local Starbucks and make some real friends instead of trying to impose themselves and their preferences on others. Note that the WFH people don't give a shit if the extroverts with an addiction to endless external validation work in an office, at home, or in a deep sea trench but the converse isn't true with the extrovert trying with all their might to force their preferences on everyone else. You'd think marketers would understand people a bit better and realize that the outcome is going to be that they're going to get blasted each time they try to use their slimy sales tactics to force everyone to conform to their personal preferences.
People have been saying "Xen is dead" for over 15 years; and yet here we are. :-)

Xen and KVM are different beasts with different advantages. (Some of Xen's I detailed in a comment here [1].) KVM in particular has some advantages in the "vanilla server virt" space, which is why KVM often ends up being the default in the Linux distro world. But we're not going away any time soon.

Or they're from somewhere besides Europe:

English is not very widely spoken in Mexico overall, with only around 12% of the population speaking it, and only a small number of these being truly fluent.

Estimates are that only 5% of Brazilians can speak English, and most of those speakers are middle- and upper-class professionals living in larger cities.

etc.

So, yes this has veered strongly into preferences and semantics.

But the job of a terminal emulator is to act as a terminal. Terminals don't drop output in normal operation. That's a failure mode, and maybe it's reasonable or even acceptable.

But the output is imperfect. Imperfections are flaws.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything here. Horses for courses, of course.

I'm just surprised to learn that any terminal emulator developer decided that "giving up" is OK. I am sure the other options I can think of were also all considered by the developers, but I'm still surprised.
In remote work environment you're not learning from randos, you're learning from the same experienced colleagues, just remotely.
Yeah, exactly. THAI_SPICY_HOT was just one of many signals that I got that the MonkeyC project could have very much started out as an intern project or similar.

The list of languages the documentation claims MonkeyC takes inspiration from also denotes a certain type of programmer background:

> C, Java™, JavaScript, Python™, Lua, Ruby, and PHP all influenced the design for Monkey C

(source: https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/monkey-c/)

If I asked an embedded hardware expert to design a novel programming language for my highly resource-constrained wearables platform, I would be very surprised if these were the language touch points they used as their references in the design brief.
Those aren't reasons, they are conjectures. They are not facts. It is modern mysticism. You have the cynical take on society wherein we are so unable to live on this planet, that we have no choice but to take onto barren wastelands. I'm not cynical at all, you clearly haven't thought through your assertions the slightest bit. On top of that, even granting you a positive outlook on humanity, comes up with the reality where you are saying we need to get off planet now because of a future millions of years away? Give me a break, that's EXACTLY what mysticism is. You might as well be writing a bible.

Here you assume that more people know about make than npm or yarn, which I wouldn't bet on.

Besides, I would guess that every JavaScript developer when jumping on the new project will know how to use npm, just like every Java developer would know enough maven, and adding some supposedly general standard tool on top of already standard tools in that area wouldn't help.
Agreed, you can even put all the binaries in the same image.

Ultimately not a big deal.

> Simple code is easy to change, I feel like a lot of architecture astronauts (cough Enterprise Java cough) don't get that.

It's not easy to uniformly change in a way that doesn't add regressions. It's also not usually easily changed except by a large team. That large team likely adds more regressions because communication is lossy.

"Simple code" that avoids abstractions leans more on people, code that embraces abstractions (good or bad) attempts to lean more on the machine.

Tesla didn’t try to hide it and it’s only affecting charging not the overall performance of the car?
Thanks! I did not have the exact numbers on hand.
The amount of new grads and people coming in from other trades because they want a piece of the cake is high enough to keep supporting the flywheel. It would be interesting to see median age of engineers at tech companies, here it's definitely well under 35.
"Tesla is apparently also an overhyped luxury company"

From a practical perspective Teslas are simply better daily drivers than other cars.

Whether their price premium, wrt gas powered cars, is justified is a judgement call. I would say yes, but YMMV.

Don't worry, the Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax-es maintained their assets. There was even a bit of a hullabaloo, not too much, when it was discovered that Richard Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax "still owns and grows sugar on the same Drax Hall Estate in Barbados that made the family's fortune. Over 200 years, 30,000 slaves died at this and the other Drax plantations, according to Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, Chair of CARICOM's Reparations Commission. 'The Drax family has done more harm and violence to the black people of Barbados than any other', he said." [1]

It 100% is realistic dependent on the field. If you combine what you learned from YouTube with personal projects you can be professionally proficient in:

- An instrument/songwriting

- Music Production

- Video Production

- DevOps

- Network Administration

- Any kind of programming (Frontend, Backend, Game Development, Assembly, whatever you can think of)

- Vehicle Mechanics

- Electronics Repair

- Maths

- Hair and Makeup

- Costume/Fashion Design

- Fitness/sport coaching

- Graphic Design

- Bookkeeping

- CAD Design

- Carpentry

- Plumbing

And these are just the ones off the top of my head. They might need to get the piece of paper in order to legally practice, but the kids out there who like delving into how things work (and they do exist) could absolutely have all the knowledge they needed to work in a professional capacity and often do. Proficiency and reputation trump certificates.

That's actually exactly what religion sells
"Since version 3.0.0, QEMU uses a time based version numbering scheme: major incremented by 1 for the first release of the year minor reset to 0 with every major increment, otherwise incremented by 1 for each release from git master micro always 0 for releases from git master, incremented by 1 for each stable branch release"
If I'm reading this right, "master" has more significant part than stable... This feels wrong. What am I missing?
Sometimes the academics aren't talking to each other, not out of spite, but just because they're in different fields.

I recall from a computer vision class that some of the early CV researchers wasted a lot of time redeveloping math techniques that had already been developed by the photogrammetry people literally decades before.
If the same amount of people had access to LSD by simply going to the gas station or local grocery, that is one very big if lol. I get the vibe you are pro-drugs, which isn't a terrible thing IMO, but this thought experiment is somewhat ridiculous on the sole fact that we have an increasingly sick society. The mental health statistics in this nation should give giant red flags.

In a vacuum your experiment just might work, but probably not in 2023 American society. There is a lot more non-biased scientific study that needs done before unleashing these powerful substances on the population. I would suggest removing bias and looking at it in a neutral way, as I'm sure a happy medium can be established here.
> It's not exactly the same exactly because the difference in symbols maps to different patterns

Does this mean that these should be treated differently?

a) "3 * 2 = 6"

b) "III + III = VI"

c) "tres et tres aequalis sex"

d) "ln(2) + ln(3) = ln(6)"

While symbols (and even patterns) are not the same, you could see that all these examples point to the same thing.

> And why is your assessment of the ability to generalize limited to only this math representation which people don't use?

I think people fail to generalize even in even simpler situations. I can't think of anything obvious that would apply to adults, but this is a nice example for children: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_(psychology) & video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnArvcWaH6I

SmartMatic is likely to have the same evidence (at issue here) that Dominion had and to use it similarly to how Dominion did (and would have at trial). So, explaining stuff away that might be easy to explain away in the wake of the Dominion settlement because the full context did not come out in that case may be more complicated because the same issues and much of the same evidence are being litigated in SmartMatic, and what did not get fully explored in Dominion may well do so in SmartMatic.

> Airbus's registered headquarters is in Leiden, Netherlands, but its head office is located in Toulouse, France. The 'SE' in its corporate name means it is a societas Europaea, which enables it to be registered as a European rather than a national corporation. Its shares are traded in France, Germany, and Spain. The company is led by CEO Guillaume Faury and is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index.

Very surprised by that, I thought it was mostly French with some European contributions.
The key thing to cut out is the ability of web site owners to make clients initiate connections or exfiltrate information without the user's say-so. That plus the profit motive have made most of the Web spyware—and you're not gonna get rid of the profit motive, so it'd be more effective to make the Web practically impossible to use to distribute spyware.

The Web needs far more capable built-in UI elements, and to remove most ability to script it. Including a great deal of CSS, which is under-rated as a source of bloat and slowness on the Web I think, in addition to having become a privacy threat.

Never gonna happen, but it's nice to imagine.
Video Games are environments that are designed to teach you how to master them. That includes very hard video games; I don’t feel like video games are a good point of reference. YouTube is also pretty good at teaching you how to change the headlights on your car, but it’s not so good at teaching you a foreign language. I’m not sure where a basic office job like programming falls on that continuum.
Right, there has been no production yet. Last I heard they will start shipping Q3 this year (but I doubt it).

I think this applies to people with a university degree, it is rare for them to speak bad or no English. (Many speak it absurdly well.)

But an average young nurse will probably only speak bad English and can maybe say a few broken sentences.
I'm sorry, but we'd be a hell of a lot worse off without the BBC.

For all its flaws, it does a huge amount of good. All reporting will inevitably hold a bias simply because selection of story for time scheduled news will _always_ involve excluding other news items.

The amount of criticism the BBC recieves is significant, and it's gone up a lot more recently.

I think it's a reflection of the incumbent gov more than the state of the organisation. There are strong forces working against the BBCs more egalitarian aims.

This. I got a PineTime and after using it a while I realized it will never be as good as the Pebble because they didn't put enough buttons on the thing. Touchscreens suck for this kind of device.

Unclear. I think flagging is actually done after a threshold of users click flag? Which seems like not such a great system given stories with potential conflicts of interest between the user base and moderation.

I recently saw a satirical post about vector databases get to top of HN and then drop to place 60 rapidly (no flagging in that instance).

I am trying to maintain an assumption of good faith with regards to moderation but lack of explanation on suspicious actions when it comes to stories with clear conflicts of interest between YCombinator/investors and the hn community don’t inspire confidence.
Unpopular opinion based on my personal experience: Remote work is broken and we will slowly see a full return to the office in most cases.

Why is it broken? This article points out some of the big reasons but the ones that stand out to me are: Lack of face to face collaboration, Lack of learning via "osmosis", and the biggest one I do not hear a lot about is the complete lack of social skills that I see from people who have worked from home for the past 3+ years. Some people have become totally incapable of dealing with others due to the fact they have been holed up for so long.

On the other hand, plenty of people going through college are exposed to a culture that you should work on a problem set for a good long time before resorting to the professor's office hours (which are probably only once a week anyway) and that asking a peer is practically cheating.

And indeed, when filing bugs in open source projects - there is often a culture that you should have exhausted every other option before bothering the nice volunteers.

Simplicity can become a false idol in SaaS pricing
TL;DR as a dev tools company, we took a lot of inspiration from how Stripe built their product, including their very simple approach to self-serve pricing. However, we found there are some key reasons this approach doesn't translate well to our market and actually led to worse customer outcomes overall.

By removing some of the simplicity in our pricing model, we were able to reduce costs for 90% of our pay-as-you-go customer base.

This is the way. Conference corridors are way more interesting than the talks themselves. Usually. If there are zero interesting talks, then it’s a bad conference, and likely the people there are less interesting.
The last couple of CVEs I was forced to address were in docker images based on alpine or debian, in which the some library version on the system was hit with a High or Critical level CVE. But in reality the ability to exploit the vulnerability required being able to execute a particular program on the running system. The levels of exploit required to even get to being able to exploit this vulnerability in the context I was required to mitigate it meant that in reality, your systems have already been compromised even before this can be exploited.

CVE numbers have exploded while their quality has declined partly due to things like company and project bug bounties, where individuals get bonuses internally for submitting CVEs that get an ID. There's a virtual army of people doing nothing but looking for subtle ways to exploit key tools just to be able to earn a bonus. Some bigger projects, like the linux kernel, dispute some CVEs (e.g. CVE-2023-23005) because they are b.s., but smaller projects don't have the luxury.

that is an interesting connection, the habit of chat in general. I never considered my days in the chat rooms as prepping me for life in chat. I occasionally see various critiques and complaints at work with some folks getting disoriented and frustrated working in slack and I never quite get where they're struggling or coming from. Could it be just general inexperience in chats like AOL, IRC, yahoo, MSN, hangouts, or whatever the medium was. Keyboard chatting is definitely different from mobile chatting for sure with the keyboard and speed. Maybe individuals haven't spent earlier years in their youth in the chatrooms quite possibly.
