> I mean, it feels almost self-evident that you shouldn't hire more people than you need; if you don't need them then that's not an efficient use of resources.

The entire point of a low interest rate economy is that, if you have a bunch of cash, you need to put it into something other than a savings account in order to make anything of it. From that perspective, simply paying engineers to sit and twiddle their thumbs all day has the business advantage of preventing your competitors from moving any faster or to prevent your employees from forming future competitors. It's a complete win win for the companies.
> what is legal or not is best left to those with a background and education in the legal profession

Tangent, but I just want everyone to recognize how obscenely absurd this (largely true) sentence is. How are we, the vast bulk of non-law-school-graduates, supposed to follow the law in our day to day lives if just figuring out what's legal literally requires multiple college degrees?
I know it's just meaningless numbers, but our php backend handles 10 orders per second peak. And obviously a order requires many more requests than just 1.

Profit itself is unethical.
Sure we are. If you make your content available on a public platform, where it is both possible and legal to watch it for free, then we are entitled to it if we choose to utilize the tools that make it possible, until or unless it becomes illegal or impossible.
My problem with youtube premium is that it doesn't remove ads. Most of the videos I watch on the platform have multiple in-video segments with advertisements directly from the video author. Youtube can easily solve this, considering the community-driven plugin SponsorBlock does it so effectively. But they are happy to charge you the premium fee and let you sit thru intrusive ads.

What I really love is the bonuses that say that if you leave in less than 3 years, you have to pay them back, plus the taxes the company paid on them. If you leave early you're actually paying the company to leave.

And DeepL translate is blown out of the water by Chat GPT 4.

I tested GPT 3.5, GPT 4.0, Google Translate, and DeepL on some "difficult" sentences, and GPT 4 was the only one that could translate them correctly. Not only that, it could do style shifts in non-English languages, such as "make this more formal", "less formal", "idiomatic", etc...

I suspect that GPT 4 is so good at translation is because it understands what it is translating at a near-human level.

I like this snippet:

"John Bear from Bear Stearns was bearish about bear pelt futures on the Bear City bear markets."

Which GPT 4 can round-trip from English -> Hungarian -> Chinese -> English again and outputs this:

"John Bell comes from Bellsterns and has a very strong bearish sentiment on the future value of bear skins in the Bear City bear market."

Interesting to note that it used a sounds-alike-to-Chinese-speakers "Bell" for "Bear" in proper names. Other than that, this is pretty good, which is very impressive. DeepL and Google Translate shreds the first step and have no hope on a round-trip this long across such unrelated languages. For example, DeepL outputs some gibberish about bear claws (the pastry) and bear cubs!?

It's 2023, it's far past the time that open-source projects should be made without security being the #1 concern, even above the basic functionality of the app. But Jenkins has been around since 2011, so it's understandable that the security posture is obtuse and tacked-on. It's time for some other CI project to surpass Jenkins. I won't be sorry to see it go. Security should be front and center, the first thing the user sees. The defaults should be secure out of the box, and if the user does something stupid, it should be painfully clear to everyone, even the least technical user who looks at it, that something is wrong.

That said, I doubt that what happened here was a Jenkins configuration problem, and instead something to do with the build scripts they're running on Jenkins. You can't solve every class of stupid, sadly.
We are pretty much at that point. Choose the language that works best with the tools or libraries you want to use… and if there aren’t any specific requirements, use any language you want then.
For those who are not familiar with the PHP ecosystem, any currently maintained framework is also fine. I myself use F3 for small personal projects.

Totally agree about the single thread thinking is enough for most things. It of course depends on what you build. For example, I would use some language that runs on Beam for a chat platform.
Thanks! Strangely is not in the front page. Like it sank out of disinterest (not really).
I've been using Windows for 30 years and haven't encountered either issue you've described.
essentially yes, except that on modern CPUs the fetch/decode stages (where the branch predictors live) are so far away (in space and time) from where the loop counters live that it's not practical to connect them directly - instead the front end maintains history bitmaps of recent branch activity (whether branches are taken or not) which in effect contain the history of how many times you've been around a loop

Weakening the immune system is not an uncommon property of viruses and Coronaviruses are know to not engender long term, durable immunity. So, with COVID, what we have is not “special powers,” but a combination of both qualities in a more (at the population-level) virulent disease. Natural immunity for COVID works pretty much the same as it does for other Coronaviruses (you can get the same one multiple times per year), but that’s problematic given the disease’s overall severity and propensity to damage people’s immune systems in a way that makes them susceptible to other illnesses (see the recent spate of post-COVID fungal infections).

There is. Check out Mobius Sync - it’s as fast as PC on foreground and supports background syncing (albeit slower). You do have to pay a little but it’s worth the cost and you get it forever. I use it routinely to sync all my files on PC on the go.

> Profit itself is unethical.

This statement is unethical.

It's a very strange thing to claim that profit is unethical. In tech companies, profit is an indication that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts — i.e. so much wealth has been created that there's an excess of it.

Do companies care? This signal has been the same for about a decade now. It seemingly does not matter if employees are motivated or not. There is profit anyway.

Winning strategy as an employee is to be a mediocre employee at multiple full time remote jobs.
Nothing impressive for me, tape has the longest ping (especially in the worst-case scenario) and the least number of interactions (I mean it can not survive just one million reads).
Most of the stuff we do now we do with "Laravel Livewire".

It's quite brilliant really, even for modals etc. "look ma, no javascript!". Of course it does JS for you, you just don't see it. That's my favourite kind of Javascript - someone else's problem. Livewire is a mid-way between front-end backend, it's a progressive back-end with long polling like NextJS I suppose. From your end though, it takes care of all the security of running your own API, and correctness. You basically have dynamic front-end from the backend.

If you want a full SPA or you need an application that is very responsive without network requests, I recommend VueJS - Livewire recommends AlpineJS, but of course you might be a React guy, that's fine, and use Laravel as a regular API.

You can even use GraphQL if you want to die of a young age, have some weird kinky thing going or you have something to prove... Unless you're Facebook of course you probably don't need GraphQL.

If I can get rid of the persistent high pitched whine in my left ear my QoL will go through the roof.
I already accounted for all of those factors. The $2 per 1000 views was the estimated revenue from a video with 10 million views. That presumably accounts for the number of ads delivered over the average watch time of the video. The creator averages $2 per 1000 views which is their 55% cut of the ad revenue [1]. That averages out to around $4 per 1000 views in ad revenue paid to Youtube of which Youtube keeps 45% which is ~$2 and the creator keeps 55% which is also ~$2. Unless the "net revenue" they are mentioning is not actually the gross ad revenue from the ads, this logic is sound.

I have no idea where you are getting the $20 per 1000 views number from as no source is given. I have no private information on the topic as I do not run ads on Youtube or run a Youtube channel, but that does not seem to conform to any of the publicly disclosed information from Youtubers that I have ever seen in common entertainment categories. As seen in the video I showed, a channel targeting Finance does average ~$20 per 1000 views, but those are relatively narrow demographics and nowhere near the most common content. Do you have a advertising account on Youtube and the $20 is the number you are being quoted for a ad campaign? If so, is it targeting a high value, competitive demographic? Otherwise, what is the source of the $20 per 1000 views number?

I'd love to get this working on macOS under X11/XQuartz. That might be a bit of work.
that's been a big thinker for me as well; wth no real solution yet..

first@firstlast.example seem rather redundant; like saying "John John Doe". I guess if it was a business it would make more sense; like "John, owner of John Doe Inc." and "Bob, assistant for John Doe Inc." but for a personal domain... eh.

Similarly mail@ email@ seem 'too obvious' since.. of course it's email? Directional local parts like talkto@ to@ only make sense for inbound-only or outbound-only.

I do like io@! hello@, contact@, note@, or communique@ also seem more neutral but at this point I'm getting dizzy lol.

first@last.example seems more simple in retrospect but also harder to get.

Gotta love engineers. 45 minutes of reading 12 years of someone’s work and the first thing they say is “yeah I’d rewrite it”.

Every. Dang. Engineer. It’s crazy.

I try to work in a codebase for 3-6 months before coming to any wild conclusions. Usually you find that there’s some warts but it does the job and there’s complexity that was solved that you hadn’t originally noticed, and it’s not worth rewriting it just needs some love in some areas.

People hate reading other peoples code.

Based on the assertions you were making above, I was expecting the study you linked to have to do with cognitive impairment and masks. Its only discussion of masks is a theory that perhaps the fact that test administrators wearing masks might have affected the measurement of the results.

"Although all study visits were performed in-person, the inability of infants to see full facial expressions may have eliminated non-verbal cues, muffled instructions, or otherwise impair the understanding of test questions and instructions. Without direct comparison of performance in the same children with and without face masks, it is difficult to rule in or out the potential influence of masks."

I worked Apple retail, and I've worked in medical, legal and telecom. No other work place was as absolutely hard line about privacy and protecting information as the Apple environment was. And that permeated all parts of the workplace, from Apple's data to customer data. I will never forget how many things were just "fine" to do in the medical places I worked that would have been at a minimum a documentable offense at Apple. Obviously any culture thing is only as good as the people managing your local culture, but even if it never protected another product feature, maintaining that vigilance against leaking data is probably a good overall stance for such a huge tech company.
Amazing, it's more performant than the real thing.

That just means you can't have a single simple clock source fan out in a simple way across the entire chip, but that kind of design performs badly anyway.

There are lots of ways to have multiple clock sources kept in sync or to alter the clock's phase to compensate for distance, so you can keep the entire CPU synchronized even if crossing it takes multiple clock cycles.

You can increase the income taxes of wealthy people considerably (specifically income taxes, not business taxes). A 50%+ marginal rate will help motivate C-level execs to opt for re-investing profits into their business rather than into buybacks of their stock to boost their own personal income. At the same time you'd be helping to provide services that will benefit the lives of the bottom 90% of the country with higher tax receipts.

Wealth inequality has been getting steadily worse in the US for decades, and moves like what Microsoft is doing only make that worse.
It's certainly annoying that you have to resort to this kind of scraping, which may also violate Google's TOS. I hope someone would build a fully community-based, free, OA, search engine with some reliability guarantees. At the moment, all the commercial (Scopus, etc.) and open (Semantic Scholar, etc.) alternatives are poor.

That said, the fake-issue is a big problem with Google Scholar. You have a lot of people adding other people's papers into their profiles. And then you have the usual fake profiles, fake institutions, fake conferences, citation mills, predatory journals, hijacked accounts, hijacked journals, etc. etc.

Not obviously related to the article, but given this might attract the hearing-curious or knowledgeable.

For as long as I can remember I've had great difficulty hearing in noisy environments. In my younger years it didn't bother me too much as I was mostly at noisy events to enjoy the music anywhere, and if I wanted to talk we'd move somewhere quieter. If I make a concerted effort I can usually hear someone directly opposite me fine, though in an especially noisy venue like a concert I'm often filling in the blanks with lip reading or other visual cues. If I'm standing by something noisy in the house (range, operating vacuum cleaner, etc.) I can often tell someone is talking to me but usually have no idea what they are saying. All this has been on the "minor inconvenience" end of a personal impact spectrum. Recently I had a minor traffic accident (reversed into a car at very low speed, little damage and no injuries) and I realised that in that moment I had such little awareness of what was around me that it I was concerned. There was a lot of very loud conversation happening around me at the time. No screaming or anything, and I wasn't part of the conversation, but it was enough to completely destroy my focus at the time. I'd had a similar incident a couple of years prior. All this meant I decided I should book in to have my hearing checked.

Fast forward to the results: she said the tympanogram results show a highly compliant middle ear, but far more aggressively responsive than she'd seen before. Usually you'd see little or slow response if there was a problem but I'm the complete opposite of that. For the audiogram results I can hear into negative decibels but with a large enough delta in the results between left and right ear that I'll need to do some follow-up scans. She also ran two separate types of test to check for Auditory Processing Disorder.

Everything game back within range, or at least on the opposite side of what you'd call hearing "loss". Which prompted her to mention "but, at conferences lately they have been talking about a phenomenon that is presenting more frequently and being referred to as 'hidden hearing loss'...". So I've been down a rabbit hole of reading for the past week trying to filter out the things that a pure woo to the stuff that looks like it has some rigour to it. Seems like there's also been a trend for people to label some of these symptoms as "pub deaf".

I'm curious if any others on HN have had similar experiences and/or been down this research path before.
I’m curious about the potential for adverse effects. Let’s say I pay YT $12/mo and Google keeps $3 for their costs. If I watch 1 video that month does that creator get $9? Does the creator get 5c per view from me regardless and some subscribers subsidize others?

I wish there was more transparency around what my money is actually buying.
Reminds me of a bygone era when I had played around with doing something similar: Windows NT in IE5. It was a very useful learning exercise as I'm sure this one was.
