I didn't notice Matt Hicks became CEO of Red Hat. Congrats to him. We worked together on the Docker / Red Hat Partnership 10 years ago when he was in Engineering leadership. From an Engineer to CEO. Says a lot about Red Hat and its priorities.
But at $8/mo? Celebrities and influencers can afford way more than that.

$8/mo is the price range that attracts scammers and hustlers that care about showing up in the first 5 replies of a major tweet so they can spam their product to a large audience.
In this context by "meaningful power" I mean "ability to override democracy".

I'm not saying the Royal Family are not impactful (I'm certainly not defending them at all!) but I'm specifically refuting the notion that the presence of a King means that the country is not democratic. Kim Kardashian has millions, draws massive media attention and in all honesty could probably have the ear of international leaders. None of that means she can override what US voters do.
If it is naive to disbelieve the founders foresaw a future in which automatic weapons and bullets would be so lightweight, cheap and accessible to civilians that anyone could buy them and go on a rampage by themselves that the State could not suppress without dozens of police and SWAT teams then I am naive.

Gatling Guns came well after the Founding, were large, heavy, hand cranked, cost between $1000 to $1500 to purchase and required a four man crew to operate. I don’t feel they can be compared to modern weapons.

The Founders were intelligent and capable men but they were not infallible. They knew that too, that’s why Amendments exist.

> There's a zero percent chance I will subscribe to a newsletter willingly even if I love your articles.

Same. Mostly because of tracking. According to what's been getting published in various internet marketing sites, one of the primary reasons why newsletters have become so popular for sites to do isn't about the newsletter -- it's about getting the email address (that's also a reason why more and more sites are requiring an account even when it doesn't make technical sense). That's a decent identifier that allows you to be tracked across sites.
Win11 uses a new taskbar and start-menu that was originally never intended for desktop use: it was for a phablet UI for "Windows X" - which got killed-off and the code ported over to the main Windows codebase. I have no idea why.

I don't think I said it with any certainty. I said "sounds like".

The rest of your argument can be true, or not. It all depends on how useful the work of the lade off people was. You know there are positions in large corporations who basically just don't do anything, don't you?
Your take is very dismissive and does not align with my experience. We work on complicated technical high value things and my juniors are very fast learners. And we learn from each other and not necessarily from the internet.

We also don't need video calls. I have never met them, and rarely have I seen their faces. Kind of like my life long friends on the internet, we didn't have video calls then either. We can connect through text just fine. We sometimes play games together to blow off the steam, and we collaborate on meaningful work problems.
I don't think that would be the issue. One reason is that it can easily be explained away: That was a quote from Dominion's own legal motion and retelling of the evidence, and Fox's response to that motion (which supposedly contains context) was sealed. At least according to Fox, but there's no reason their viewers wouldn't buy that.
Yes, people misread this to read “only physical sims”. The sim tray is useless in 2023 imo, but their phones are stuck w/ them because of laws that aren’t keeping up. We’ll see how well the regulators keep up w/ the next generations of tech.

> Inferno represents services and resources in a file-like name hierarchy. Programs access them using only the file operations open, read/write, and close. `Files' are not just stored data, but represent devices, network and protocol interfaces, dynamic data sources, and services.

Great. But `open()` needs to be hyper-extensible. Think of URI q-params and HTTP request headers as `open()` options. Think of all the `ioctl()` APIs that have arisen because "files" are a relatively poor way to represent devices. But most importantly `open()` needs to be async.

I'd be very interested in an OS where all system calls that can block are async, and where something like io_uring is the only way to make system calls.

The "everything is a file" thing is fine, but we need more innovation around that if that metaphor is going to stick.

I recently though about this approach for AI alignment and it seems quite promising. It doesn't seem to have the usual loopholes like with the AI Stop Button. It is quite possible that loopholes exist, but until now I haven't been able to find any. I would really appreciate it if some of you could tell me what you think about this idea.

The issue is with hiring. When hiring remote junior, you need to look out for above average communication skills and debugging abilities. That's often not present for a lot of new grads entering the market because of a lack of experience or relevant work. Think of three month bootcamp grads where each week's assignment was spoon fed by the instructors who themselves are students who couldn't get a real job.

Some places that hired from that pipeline are finding out it's simply impossible to bring these programmers up to speed, but places hiring real engineers have way less issues (because a serious program will include challenging work and select for people capable of debugging and reasoning independently).

"Radical Candor" is a great book that is 80% summarized by the following 2x2:

Care
Personally
^
Ruinous | Radical
Empathy | Candor
--------------------------> Challenge Directly
Manipulative | Obnoxious
Insincerity | Agression

Managers don't want to end up in the bottom right, because no one wants to be an asshole. Everyone remembers the negative impact of assholes, and it's very hard to challenge directly without being a dick. A common management failure (and definitely a personal challenge for me) is avoiding directness instead of building empathy. But I've seen a lot more aggregate damage done by large numbers of managers being stuck in the two left quadrants (ESPECIALLY ruinous empathy) and causing a lack of progress from excess entropy.
I don't know. I have a 2014 Model S that I'd like to replace. The list of EVs that are actually _available now_ at list price as opposed to an order/wait list or an upcharge over list from dealer is pretty small (another Tesla, Chevy Bolt, Porsche Tacan/Audi eTron GT).

I agree there will soon be more choices, but that's going to be a problem in 2 years, especially in the luxury segment.
Maybe Nix is pretty niche (though getting bigger -- I've heard several "hey this seems like something we should look at" type conversation about it at my very technically conservative company) but emacs is very, very old (predating Linux even) and definitely not "trendy." If anything, the perception on the mailing lists is that emacs is on the way out unless a new generation of users/maintainers can be recruited.

This isn’t what was being argued. What was being argued is product development decisions being greatly enhanced from water cooler talk.
> the perception on the mailing lists

How many people in 2023 browse/dedicate time to mailing lists?

I'm not trying to pick on anybody or make fun of anybody and say "oh my gosh you have too much free time on your hand". I don't really know what I'm trying to say. It's just interesting to me.

The author did a very nice thing sharing their experience with the world for others to benefit and I am grateful. I am just zooming out a bit more macro and saying "who outside of the software community would understand dedicating hours to a blog article that may or may not help others on ________" where ______ is relatively fringe technologies.

What does this blog article offer that Nix documentation/examples doesn't?
From the descriptions on the website they claim it controls like a touchpad, not a trackpoint. (touchpad means tongue distance == cursor distance whereas trackpoint means tongue distance/pressure == cursor speed)

That being said trackpoint-style movement sounds better to me since my tongue has such limited motion compared to a large trackpad surface. Unless it is about to be much more dexterous than my finger (which doesn't seem right to me, but impossible to say without trying) it would be annoying to make large movements and repeated large movements seems like it would be tiring quite quickly.
Show HN: I'm building a guidebook for turning an idea into an application
Hello there! I have been working on creating a guidebook that will help walk me through the process of designing and developing a full-stack application. The main goal behind this project was to collect and condense down the information and steps I've gather from design books, and online courses and combine them with the technical planning steps I've gathered from different books and courses. I felt that it was too much information to know and remember at any given time so I wanted this to act as a checklist of things to think about and directions to focus on when building out ideas into tools and toys.

Any book recommendations, feedback or advice is welcomed.

This. "Bank extra and make sure you have savings" is way more reasonable than the "aim to retire by 35" FIRE cult. Out of a sample size of 4, 75% of the people I know who have done "FIRE" regret it. (The one who doesn't comes from a wealthy family who bought him a house right after university, so the sacrifices he made are a lot less.) Among the 3, the common theme was realizing they wasted the best years of their life solely focused on maximizing their money instead of enjoying their youth. Two became severely depressed alcoholics. The other went back to work as a FTE 6 months after "retiring".

It's a lot more reasonable to have a goal of, say, having 2 years' of life expenses saved up in case you want to take a faux-sabbatical mid-career. If you're in tech in the US, this is really not hard if you aren't spending extremely lavishly.

Sorry, I think you're right. I've updated my original comment.
IBM (without RedHat) still have hundreds of thousands of employees doing work and generating tens of billions of revenue. Whether it's of value depends on how cynical you feel today but IBM is very far from being just RedHat.
Luxury goods are and always have been high margin. Its a great business to be in. All car makers aspire to be Mercedes or BMW. All watchmakers want to be Rolex. Argueably all IT manufacturers want to be Apple, with its fat margins. For a non-tech, non-oil company to reach that valuation is amazing.
if your decision is cost-oriented, then Whisper API is the cheapest - at least based on what other API companies promote on their websites.

however, depending on what you're building, you may consider local speech-to-text by running speech-to-text on user's devices, basically you do not pay for the cloud.

you should understand whether you'll need model adaptation -like adding custom industry jargon or so. whisper might be challenging.
It's understandably hard to get actual numbers on the proportion of bilingual people.

It's not "easy" to get the data but it's a well-studied topic. As attended to by people who presumably have thought about the matter and know what they're doing.

So I'll take their number (at around 60 percent for multilingualism) at face value. Seems to correlate with observations from traveling (through which one rapidly makes the amazing discovery that no, not "everyone" speaks English or is otherwise bilingual).
First web hit I get on that topic is

So this seems like the Rails equivilant of JHipster - which is great because that's saved me weeks of development times 4-5 years ago.
Sorry, I didn't check comments for a while. The target date funds tend to have higher management fees and yes, worse composition of stocks versus bonds compared to holding a mix yourself, IMO, based on your goals.
Sure they do, but unless you have some evidence this is the case it is just conspiratorial thinking. There's a reason we joke around about saying something is being pushed by "big x" where x = some shadowy group with a vested interest in y -- because it's silly to imagine and almost certainly not the case in most situations.

End of the week the retractions are tallied up and a winner is declared.

I always feel that discussing remote work in the context of software dev (basically, discuss it on HN) is so heavily skewed to the point of being meaningless.

We're talking about an industry that has a heavy concentration of, for lack of a better word, shut-ins, who don't really like socializing and really excel at work when they are alone and not being bothered. Most of them self-taught to some degree, or entirely. Heavy technical knowledge and strong ability to deal with technical hurdle of remote work. Probably have a bad internet addiction too, and attribute most of their knowledge to it. The nature of the work also heavily lends itself to being remote, and why there were even people in the 90's(!) who were doing remote developer work.

But take another field, like say marketing, that has lots of extroverted types and lots of meetings with heavy emphasis on visual things, that no one was doing remote prior to 2020, and suddenly remote work becomes a much more grinding endeavor that can really chew up juniors. These people are not shut-in computer geeks and their work is not a fit for those types by a long shot. As much as they may hate the commute and insist that remote work is fine, the fact of the matter is that the type of work really doesn't lend itself to remote working.

TL;DR: These articles about remote work failing aren't really talking about software jobs, and your experience as someone who has worked remote dev work for 15 years isn't really relevant. You work a job that is almost tailor made for remote work.
In a healthy democracy, public discourse precedes government rulings. You are suggesting that we, the impacted, should not bother to voice our concerns, should not bother to hone our understanding via dialogue with others, and should instead silently await judgement by deaf authorities? I cannot comprehend the mind of one so blind to the negative effects of autocratic rule that they would chastise their neighbors, "Hey! Don't bother even having an opinion! It's worthless to discuss things! The only discussion of value is happening outside your milieu!"

Positively medieval serf outlook.
Linux is reportedly written in C and it still has a good share of plain assembler.
I have also been using make for the past few years, and since then whenever I jump on a new project, right away I get the readme and commands needed to do stuff with a project, and put them in a Makefile, and people start loving me right away. It's baffling to me how easy but ignored is make and how people accept to write / remember un-mnemonick commands without looking for alternatives/solutions

> Rust's GC (...) has worse performance [than tracing GC]

That's an unsubstantiated claim.

While reference counting may be slower than tracing in the general case, Rust's reference counting is not the same thing as general reference counting in languages like e.g. Swift or Python. There are two reasons:

- The good majority (99%+) of objects in Rust don't need to be managed by reference counting at all.

- Rust relies heavily on move semantics to avoid updating the ref-counts, so the good majority of refcounted objects have very few (sometimes just 1) refcount updates.

> reference counting gives better performance predictability than a tracing GC, but that is no longer true, certainly compared to the generational ZGC presented here.

Where does ZGC claim nanosecond latency?
But even if it did, it would be still worse, because refcounting doesn't do pauses at all. Pausing applies to pausing all application threads. Spending X nanoseconds freeing memory by one thread does not count as a pause, because the system can still make progress.

Whats weird is that I've heard the opposite too. That being an old employee is a suckers game for taking the 2 to 4 percent each year.

For instance the staff level who was with the company from junior and climbed the ranks is probably making alot less than the staff who came in as a staff, because climbing the ranks means you get percentage based increases or reset to the floor for the rank, and the staff who came in could negotiate higher than that. (You cant really negotiate comp for a promotion, its take it or leave it). Even though the junior to staff probably has more institutional knowledge, domain knowledge and political connections to get stuff done in the company.
You can increase that entropy a bit by putting up the temperature setting in the API which controls the randomness of the tokens selected and also the older GPT-3 models might be better at that since they don’t have that polite, formal tone trained into them

1M token is around 750k words, in English.

For C(++), I use make and ccache. I can just use `find` to place a naive dependency of every header file on every C file; and, `*.d` files (from clang/gcc): I get nearly perfect incremental builds, without file updates breaking the build, in parallel. Totally bulletproof and works on all the Unixen I care about (Linux, macOS, BSD).
That the key escrow portion was finally dropped is not somehow incompatible with it being there in the first place. Maybe your comment is just trying to clarify the timeline--due to a pedantic complaint that if a bill is changed to not do something it isn't the entire bill that was "dropped"--but it frankly is coming off like some kind of attempt to gaslight the thread down a path of "this was never a concern and no one was suggesting this".

>How "fringe" can I be. How niche of technologies can I use. How deep down a rabbit hole can I go avoiding mainstream "technologies".

As a Nix user, I'd say this is the wrong characterization. It's not about being niche, bikeshedding, or yak shaving. It's just about getting as close as possible to perfection.
