I think there's mentoring and leadership. These are different. I sure can mentor and help people to better think/program but don't ask me to push a team to meet a deadline they don't want to meet because they warned the marketing department 2 months before that they wouldn't do it. Been there, done that. Once in that position, you're pushing people, you become the bad guy and you have to explain that it's "for the good of the company, because they have to see the big picture, etc", IOW "screw you, I'm the boss". For that you need to be crazy enough to think that what you want is more important than what other humans-like-you are. OK, leadership is not always that and most often, you have to gather enough trust from your team so that from time to time, you can be a pusher. But if you don't have trust and you are always pushed to push, well, welcome to hell, and say goodbye to your health.

It's very different than "let's work together to find the best possible way to solve a problem, taking all the necessary time to produce something reliable".
This looks pretty good! Hope you guys succeed.
That would be interesting! You might already be aware. But there's mypyc[0], which is an AOT compiler for Python code with type hints (that, IIRC, mypy uses to compile itself into a native extension).

Wanted to give you a head-start on the lit-review for your students I guess :)

Make the changes you'd love to see. The CTO role is vague and broad and is defined differently in most companies anyway. You can delegate things to an engineering manager or director. Or if the company is large enough to a VP.

These numbers should be written as "hours of revenue".

Then people would notice how laughably small those fines are.

Facebook has a private network; WhatsApp. WhatsApp is omnipresent in many geographies - but not so much in the US, hence it's often overlooked.
So this is even more insiduos, and an interesting way for Apple, Google, and MS to pay Cloudflare to use its dominating market position to help safeguard them from other incumbents: you either work to get your devices approved in this scheme, or your users get more Cloudflare CAPTCHAs preventing them from having a nice web experience.

All in the name of "privacy" and "security". Though of course, the only security that is served here is the ad network's revenue stream, who are the only ones who really care if a real device or a bot is accessing their services. For most other cases, a DDoS is a DDoS regardless of it being initiated by actual users (e.g. an HN hug of death) or by a bot network.

Have you considered the same argument about your own post? Comments pointing out useless comments are just as useless as the useless comments themselves. Hence the voting system which isn't being engaged with -- which promotes or demotes the exposure a comments gets -- perhaps you might agree the right answer is to downvote and move on?
I have 573 entries in my KeePassXC. I have several very important passwords that are not in there, like my work password and of course the keepass safe password. Auth is indeed insane. Because of this insane power, I don't trust any ID provider with my logins, not Google, nor any other third party, so I log in with a password everywhere.

As for maintenance, I don't think it's much, and I'm not even using the browser integration (again, for security). It's a few simple clicks to create a new entry, and the default auto-fill (username, tab, password, enter) works on most of the websites.
> Despite liking it, I still find little desire to tinker on things outside of work. A large part of it is that it _is_ my job. I don't want to work, then go home and 'work' for 'fun'.

I am the same way, but when I take 5-week long vacations I usually start to tinker with stuff on week 3. So it takes me about 2 weeks to detox from job grinding

Funny to realise the best thing my job could do for employee training is to just give me more vacation. Not like they give me any official training though. They let people occasionally go to conferences but I don't really like those, so I don't

I was answering a question asking what it was. Are you saying my answer was wrong?

> Brave (VC funded) is also a Chromium wrapper and Edge (Microsoft owned) is also one as well and both of the somehow managed to beat Firefox in usage.

Well that's just false.

Firefox has 7.7% marketshare.

Brave comes in at less than 1 tenth of a percent.

Edge, does better after all it is the _default_ browser on the most popular desktop OS by a massive margin. It gets <6% of the market.

So Firefox has greater market share than both of those combined.

> Chrome and its derivatives is the reason why browsers like Firefox is failing to keep up and continues to lose users.

You mean Chrome. None of the "derivatives" other than Edge (due to default browser syndrome) and Opera (which gets 2%) have any marketshare, and neither does anything to prevent Google from doing whatever it wants.

> Using anything other than Chrome for a modern web browser is a losing battle.

The reason is very very simple: Chrome is the modern IE, and making content that only works in Chrome (or wrappers) is considered acceptable by the same mediocre developers that made IE only sites a decade ago.

On the other hand, I get where you are coming from: people also said the same thing about using anything other than IE.
I have known programmers who don't know how a float is represented in memory. I just can't comprehend how they can gloss over basics like that.
Facebook has such a network: WhatsApp. In the US apparently not that omnipresent, but it's everywhere in many countries. Facebook has the data, and knows exactly how such closed-networks are in demand, can (not) be monetized and what features are needed to make them grow.

In e.g. The Netherlands anything from your neighborhood-watch to parents-info, or anything related to school, via business-groups, your bachelors party, to the weekly scissors-collectors-club-coffee-meet . All of these organize, inform, discuss, on WhatsApp.
Living in Berlin, I disagree with you. Noisy motorbikes and cars with techno full volume is the bread and butter in my hood.
Why exactly is this a bad thing? Isn't it a positive for society if debt is collected?

My company is paying people to full time call after non-paying customers. Why shouldn't I be allowed to reduce that expense?
Everybody realises that. This was a thought experiment not a clinical trial.
Depends on your requirements.

Vast is a grey-market with very few security measures in place. A host can snoop on your workloads very easily for example because they have full access to the docker host.

You're also limited in that you can only deploy a single container so if you just wanted some spot nodes to scale out your existing Dagster cluster etc.. You're not going to be able to cleanly plug Vast into your existing infrastructure deployment process.

But if you're just playing around or don't have major security/data restrictions and only want a jhub notebook or nvidia-glx-desktop then yeah it's a very hard deal to beat.
I am a content creator (newsletter) where I interview music producers. The main goal behind it is to create a community where we have a place online, and multiple places offline to chill, chat and do our thing.

I am on the lookout to find how the online thing looks like, and honestly, it always comes back to a facebook group. I hate facebook. But it is the option with the least friction, for now.

Every other option, adds friction. From single signups to downloading mobile apps.

I haven't checked sociables yet (gonna, as soon as I hit reply), but I'm letting you know of my thoughts because it's a problem addressed to everyone.

My fun is building real-life usable software and seeing people getting value out of them, so I guess YMMV. I'm very lucky that I really like doing this, as it makes work as fun as my hobby, and my personal portfolio has a bunch of finished (if generally small) products in it.
>Facebook is a private network.

You're getting sidetracked by the word "private" instead of looking at the contextual meaning of the conversation people are having:

When grandparent poster (asim) wrote: >"and now people need to go back to something more real and private."

asim meant "private"=="less-visible-more-intimate-group".

You're talking about "private"=="walled-garden".

The threeseed's reply of "So I think public networks still seem far from dead" is responding to asim's usage of "private" and not yours.
PAT: Eliminating CAPTCHAs on iPhones and Macs with open standards (2022)
The games that survived for so long are simply that good (so it's basically survivorship bias). There are plenty of new indie RTS games on PC, the vitality is definitely there. But there's no longer big publisher money behind it like in the heydays and without big marketing campaigns those games are much less visible.

But if you search a bit in the RTS section, there are definitely some gems on Steam (e.g. Northgard comes to mind, and currently I'm having a lot of fun with Timberborn, although that's a city builder, not a competitive RTS). Oh, and WARNO, even if it still has a lot of early-access roughness.
Not a very useful comment, but this guy talks almost like me. We must be twin somewhere. I got the same programming addiction, got the same look at it... Strange and comforting...
Yeah, I have been trying to do that for many years, because obviously poor sleep has plenty of bad outcomes, not only long-term but also including immediately obvious ones.

But for some of us, it's hard. I have taken measures like exercising, having dinner earlier, trying to read for a while before going to bed, etc. and they do help somewhat, but the truth is I seem to be too sensitive to stress. When a backlog of tasks accumulates (which, in my job, is most of the time) I start ruminating about work in bed, sometimes this gets compounded by gas and reflux (I once thought this was about food, but no, I have long found out that it's totally about stress, if I'm on holiday I can eat like a horse and never get gas and if I'm stressed I can get it from pretty much anything) and there goes my night's sleep.

My work is pretty stressful (and hard to reduce the workload) but I don't think I can just blame the job, as this happens even when the backlog isn't such a huge deal objectively speaking, and I can handle it. But it seems that I'm just bad at disconnecting from things. In fact for example if I have a morning flight the next day I always sleep like crap, not because I have any fear of flying at all, but my mind is just not at rest thinking what if the alarm clocks fail (which never happens), etc. I know it won't happen, but the thought keeps me awake anyway.
This doesn’t leverage on the more subtle but all the more elegant type system that Ruby provides. As told just above, since all object also have their own class instance you can extend this instance specific class without polluting the general class it derives from.

> It will never ever occur to anybody in the company that a freelance software dev could possibly be put into a management role...

If by "freelancer" you mean "contractor", then this statement is false. I had worked at multiple places in the UK where this happened, I suppose mostly because paying these people a salary would have required an disproportionate amount of money (as opposed to a standard daily rate) - UK taxes are very high in the top bracket.

If by "freelancer" you mean a real freelancer (the guy who has multiple short gigs at the same time, and needs to be constantly on the lookout for new opportunities) then that is already half of a management position, even if you don't have anyone reporting for you.

It is true though that as a contractor one can reasonably easily avoid management duties, and enjoy not having to worry about company politics. The downside is that it is easy to end up in a place where you have to accept that comparably junior people dictate architecture and some tech decisions which you discarded 10 years ago as ineffective, stupid, fad, or all of the above (TDD being a typical example). The upside is that your time at each place is limited anyway, and there is always something to learn...
Frankly Groups should not be part of Facebook. Facebook is/should be the 'friends' network. Sharing things among a select group of known people.

Instagram is the public/open network. Share pictures and reels with whoever wants to see them. Groups fits into that more as you rarely have a group among your own friend set, but rather among a group of random individuals with similar interests. Meta has it upside down.
Hi, I've recently gave supabase a shot to as an alternative to firebase because I needed SQL. One thing that I've struggled with from the start is that supabase seems to ignore backends completely.

I don't want to use supabase edge functions, since I want to keep it simple with a single express backend and don't want to be vendor-locked.

In firebase, the Admin SDK https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup solves this, but seems to be missing in supabase. For example, for a simple JWT verification, I had to go to old github issues, rather than finding the answer in the docs. https://github.com/supabase/supabase/issues/491#issuecomment...
> Donald Trump spent his four years in office much like he spent most of his previous business career: lying and committing various forms of fraud. While president, just for variety, he added lying and committing fraud about COVID, and, oh yes, inciting a violent insurrection to overthrow the American government.

Interesting that I can't find any reference for such claims in the Wikipedia article. The whole introductory paragraph contains the total of 2 sources - one a politico.com article [0] and the other a Siena College Research Institute post [1] - neither of which provide any claims other than that Trump was unpopular and "rated as worst".

You can't with a straight face claim that this is unbiased writing.

I get what is being said. There can be a delay in waiting for a review, but in my experience that's more an issue of bad discipline. I do get the point about pair programming making reviews near-redundant, though I'd be inclined to still get review from a third party.

I also think pull requests in github, as an actual place you can go and comment on and discuss code, is such a useful tool for doing reviews in a public environment where everyone on a team can go back and refer to the discussions that I'd be inclined to accept some amount of delay as an acceptable cost.
RTSP was how I got some video out on some crummy surveillance cameras I have. It was a quick and dirty option I could write a script for.
Those who think they are unit testing but are actually integration testing.

This is not just about terminology. If you don't have actual unit tests then your testing is much more complicated and heavyweight than it needs to be with costly consequences for maintaining your software. You can run thousands of unit tests in a second if you just run some functions and verify their output. If you need to set up some hardness to interact with the kernel, virtualizing and mocking tons of facilities around it, then your testing speed goes down by orders of magnitude.
I ride a pushbike a lot and I only hear those stupid motorbikes right as they go past me. Even the headwind from cycling at a moderate speed like 30 km/h is enough to completely drown the motorbikes out. Usually all they do is scare the shit out of me as they come flying past.

I imagine inside modern cars that completely seal you off from the outside you wouldn't be able to hear them at all.

> I never said that Swift invented these language features;

Hmm...not sure how else to interpret "upgrade to OO programming with use of protocols" other than that there was an upgrade to OO, and that upgrade was with the use of protocols. Now it looks like you meant an upgrade of the way protocols are used in OO, but you won't say how they Swift's protocols actually constitute an upgrade.

OK. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I get frustrated by how much "math" is a dirty word in engineering circles.

There have been plenty of times where I have felt that utilizing formal methods would benefit some problematic patch of code, but when I suggest something like TLA+ or Isabelle, every engineer in the room will wince at me and act like I asked them to solve the wave equation. It'll usually be dismissed in some form of "we don't want to force every engineer to learn all that math".

It's frustrating to me because, I mean, we're engineers. Any high school kid can learn to program for free on YouTube these days. If we're not utilizing theory, then what exactly are we doing to earn our ridiculous salaries?
Health insurance is a nebulous concept.My basic plan for instance doesn't cover dentistry so I got a 500 euro bill.

On apple hardware, uncontended refcounting (swift or objc) has the same perf as non-atomic refcounting. The cost exists, but it isn't terrible, once there's contention between threads the perf drops through the floor. The real killer is there are a bunch of places where the swift evaluation model means they're forced to ref churn, which comes up 100% typical workloads like the million triangle objects in my swift raytracer, all being hit by numerous threads :D
There's a bit of a distinction between realtime processing and straight-up recording video to disk, but yeah it could get weird.
Keep in mind that the spaceflight is systems-first; most development effort usually goes into the hardware and systems/mission design, the code has less priority and nearly zero decision freedom, so most of the complexity is baked into specs and requirements. In that sense, it's the appropriate area for a thing like this. It's also true for certain niches in industrial automation.

That said, in my experience, the Soviet tech industry workforce was separated into three very distinct categories since the ~70s: enthusiasts (people who came into it to actually build the tech; they delivered most of the result, and were the first to leave after the crash), opportunists (people who used it as a social elevator/welfare program and couldn't care less about the result), and crackpots (underperforming idealists who couldn't be fired, but still won't shut up about their wonderful idea, so they've been filtered into containment projects which were only meant to exist on paper). Drakon is giving off the strong vibes of something created by the last category.
I strongly disagree with this article. I wouldn't trust myself or my my coworkers to produce perfect code every time. We have 2 reviewers mandatory for each PR and using pull requests is a perfectly acceptable way to ensure quality - every line of code has to be vetted by at least 3 developers (it has to pass the CI/CD pipeline checks as well). If you produce high end software with complex workflows and/or calculations, pull requests are essential.
While I don't disagree with you, if you are going to say something like you should really at least give the right number. Or at very least include a disclaimer that 12 hours is not the right number.

2022 Meta revenue was 116 billion USD [1]. So the fine was 1.1% of yearly or revenue, or pretty close to 4 days of revenue.

In terms of yearly net income, it is 5.6% or 20 days of income. Don't think this is a trivial fine.

I always wonder what purpose these sites serve. They often show up on search results when I'm trying to solve a problem and they're always full of non-answers. I don't even recall a single instance in which I was able to get a working solution from company community forums.
I have a split view on this... on one hand, yes, quiet nights are nice to sleep, but on the other hand, busy city centers are meant to be busy... Some people buy an apartment above a restaurant/bar from early 1800s here, and then complain about the noise. If you (have a choice and) live in a city center, then it's usually because you like "stuff" to be around you, walking distance, stores, bars, restaurants, party places, outside performances, people, etc. Demanding that everything stops and gets quiet the second you come home from a loud party and want to sleep is selfish.

On the other hand, we have people moving next to old farms and then complain about cow smell, cow noises, cows in general, cows having sex, cows looking at their windows, etc.

Noise insulation, three-pane glass windows, etc., sure. Demanding quiet city centers, maybe not.
