One of my mantras that I picked up as I moved into a more senior level is “the fastest and easiest to maintain code is the code you don’t have to write at all”. Knowing when and what to write is as much a skill as writing the code in the first place.

Also, Apple, presumably being a very siloed organization, probably benefits more from tribal knowledge of the elders more than your typical organization.

Many environments are complex. At a previous startup, they had a "setup" script that configured your laptop with all the tooling, dependencies, etc. It had bugs and could bomb out in the middle. Even with all the automation, it could take a day or two to get through it.

At an earlier startup, however, we expected someone to push to prod by the end of their first day. It was stressful for new and current hires alike!
My first large scale web application was a webmail service built in C++ (!) where I early on decided we'd ditch nearly all freeing of memory, as it was running as a CGI, and it was much faster to just let the OS free memory on termination. The exception was for any particularly large buffers. Coupled with statically linking it, it reduced the overhead sufficiently that running it as a CGI performed well enough to save us the massive pain of guaranteeing sufficient isolation and ensuring we were free of memory leaks.

Especially in a request/reply style environment, long running application servers is largely a workaround for high startup costs, and it's only a "bad idea" in the instances where removing that high startup cost is too difficult to be practical. Overall I love avoiding long running programs.
But it did also find that using Ketamine to treat depression had about the same efficacy as knocking them out and shooting saline into them.

That's nice and terrifying then.
I learned the reason for this push as I learned about business accounting and particularly how businesses are valued.

Recurring revenue is valued at higher multiples than non-recurring revenue, and the math for how to value it is much simpler. Higher valuation multiples mean more ability to raise money or access debt liquidity in the market at a lower cost in either equity or interest.

This creates a powerful systematic incentive for companies to look for any and all opportunities to tack a subscription onto everything.

It’s so powerful that it can make sense for a company to trade higher non-recurring revenues for lower recurring revenues.

The only thing that will push back is if consumers revolt and stop buying things that require subscriptions, especially if the subscription doesn’t make any sense or as with this case has unacceptable terms.

Bottom line is that you get what you incentivize. If you see a pathological trend, look for the incentives.
I think it’s hard to act without objective measures of value.

I’m a big fan of culture change but shy away from initiatives with the express purpose of changing culture because it’s so hard to measure and attribute cause.

Many years ago I held a hackathon, a first in my org, and people said they had fun and connections were made. I had many people ask me to be on committees and groups to improve culture and I didn’t have time but paid attention to what happened. They held parties and stuff, and weren’t harmful but didn’t seem to do much. The point of my event was to hire new programmers and the fun and cultural aspects were positive byproducts.

I think you need to do specific things and then mix in culture change. Making culture the primary purpose makes it too hard to succeed.

An example of a DEI activity that I really like is focusing scholarships on HBCUs as the purpose is to get really smart people into jobs, not just to increase percentages of workers from specific races.

“about the equivalent to a day’s UV exposure from the sun” doesn’t say anything.

If it’s that every day, it’s not _that_ safe.

If, on top of that, it’s what you receive from the sun in a day, every day, and concentrated on a few cm² of skin area, it’s downright dangerous.

I would guess they mean the same amount of radiation per second and per cm² as that of the sun on a sunny day, while you’re playing with it. I guess that’s fine, as long as you don’t play with it for hours every day (even more so if you do the playing inside a house, as that cuts out the sun’s UV quite a bit)

Show HN: I made an iOS HN app to navigate large threads without getting lost
I was struggling with navigating HN discussions using existing solutions, so I decided to implement a completely different approach, think of it as depth-first reading vs breadth-first reading. Visually it looks like swipeable stacks of comments and it offers several advantages over traditional interfaces:

- Comment width doesn't get narrower no matter how deep in the comment tree you are

- You always see the parent of the comment you're currently reading

- Swiping allows you to move in and out of subtrees with animated transitions that you fully control

- You can easily skip subtrees that don't interest you by scrolling

As a result it's easier to maintain the context and to keep track of where you are in the discussion tree. The app is fully featured, it does all the things that you would expect it to do, and there's extra: custom boards, search, in-thread search, anchors, reading list, recent items.

I’ve seen a lot of outages in production which were very hard to debug because someone blocked the event loop with a sync call or some CPU-intensive thing. The failures weren’t in the route that was blocking the event loop, but all over the place, including health checks, which would cause instances to be bounced until the whole service fell over.

Go doesn’t have problems like this—you could theoretically block the event loop with something sufficiently CPU-intensive, but Go schedules work across all cores (and moreover, Go gets hundreds or thousands of times more work done per core than Python, so it’s far less likely to run into these problems) so this becomes highly unlikely.
Look really nice! congrats
Do you honestly believe that Meta's hundreds (possibly thousands) of both full-time and contracted out lawyers would collectively advise them to break the law? Knowing full well the outcome would be $Billions in fines?

EU to US data transfers used to be okay for years, then there was a single ruling that brought that into question. Because government moves slow, there hasn't been a new framework implemented. Ruling for Billions in fines during the interim, while the US government and EU are still negotiating the details of the new framework is not an environment conducive to full compliance. US companies would essentially need to stop operating in the EU altogether if they wanted to be fully compliant.

Combine this with giant companies which also are slow moving (albeit faster than government) and you have a recipe for never-ending fines no matter how much you try to comply in good faith.

Definitely, it’s harder to use. But I’d rather not do analysis than do wrong analysis.

If I can’t measure poverty correctly, then using a simple number isn’t useful to generalize and make conclusions. And I certainly wouldn’t want to target interventions.

There’s a reason why it’s complicated.

Otherwise they could play even more regionally with the rules, and fines are just a cost of doing the business.
> there have always been community standards in any society.

When Meta says "community standards" they aren't actually community standards at all. Meta unilaterally decides what their "community standards" are. I've had posts about lighting a campfire for my family, and showing off vegetables from my garden flagged as "violating community standards". We're not even getting into sex, religion and politics, which I also believe are areas of life that we need to be able to have open conversations about in public forums, rather than having an unaccountable organization unilaterally decide for us what is right and wrong.

> The expectation of unfettered freedom of speech is at best naive, especially when the things people say incite violence.

Given the tendency for violence to be associated with calls for free speech, I understand how you could assume that I'm talking about speech that incites violence. But actually, I'm talking about much more innocuous things like talking about non-traditional relationship styles, alternative lifestyles, body positivity, open medical data, thought experiments and well thought out challenges to the status quo.

When I hear “signature file” I think of a list of signatures of known viruses and malware.

These types of signature files aren’t meant to guard against exploits, SSH brute forcing, etc, even if the router applies them to inbound traffic in addition to forwarded traffic. To do that, you typically need a WAF or some clever fail2ban-like filtering rules. Even up-to-date signatures won’t prevent a router from getting 0wn3d if the ssh daemon has a security hole for example.

As sites move to HTTPS, routers can’t even really filter networking traffic anymore. I don’t see why a router needs signature lists at all

> There’s a new EU-US data framework that’s expected to be ratified within a year which should make EU-US transfers possible again under new guidelines.

Black Books (S01E01) put it best:

> NICK VOLEUR: This new system, it's very closely modelled on the old system, isn't it?

> BERNARD BLACK: I'd go further than that, Nick, I'd say it was more or less exactly the same[.]

Given the US side of said framework is established by executive order[1] and the “court” it creates is part of the executive (much like the “ombudsperson” office that the CJEU struck down Privacy Shield over), it’s unclear if it will work, or if the Commission (an executive body who can establish these things but is subject to judicial review) is setting itself up for a Schrems III another ten years down the line for foreign-relations reasons. The EU privacy regulator very politely said it was dubious[2], while the relevant parliamentary committee[3] and later the full parliament[4] expressed open scorn.

The US diplomats, for their part, are trying for a “you too” defence[5]—which might well be factually true to some extent, just does not change anything about EU law.

> Its possible this fine was intended to pre-empt the passing of any new frameworks and cash in on the uncertainty in the interim.

As the legal basis for a transfer is fixed at the time it’s performed, a framework cannot be retroactive (but “the Commission was wrong, the transfers weren’t lawful after all” decisions can be). So while the FUD may be real, the case could just as well have been decided after the new framework had been passed.

> Someone who caught covid at work knowing they were immunocompromised but needed the money, did they did our pandemic or poverty?

When looking at aggregate statistics one of examples can't be considered, the data simply isn't there. Also for this example I believe the answer would be that the fictious person would have died with covid and poverty, notof either one.

> Someone who died of preventable covid complications but couldn't access adequate Healthcare because of money?

Similar issues here. The study want designed to look into these concerns and the data just isn't there. In this example it's also be impossible to know if the person does of preventable complications, at best you could say they died with complications that are often treatable or preventable.

My point with regards to this study was simply that they are looking at people who died of drug overdoses, weather exposure, hunger, etc and rolling that up to say they died from poverty as those issues are often linked to poverty. I'm arguing that they would have to make a similar decision for any poverty caused by the pandemic and pandemic response, they wouldn't have been poor if not for the pandemic just like the study is assuming someone wouldn't have died of not for being below their definition of poverty.

If a study gets to pick and choose whether they want to pin the blame on covid or poverty then the data really is useless. Solid data backed up by empirical evidence showing causation, which is what this study attempts to do, is directional and can't be flipped around. It's worth noting here the article is calling poverty a cause of death, not a contributing factor. They are making the claim that it is directly causal, in which case the order isn't reversable.
