Baby Boomer generation is 1946-1964, which would make them 59-77. I expect only the younger range is likely to still be middle managers.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the use of "boomer" as a derogative to be reductionist and ageist, not to mention most of the time incorrect, as I've seen it applied all the way to Millennials.
For CMS's we built custom integrations (not just a generic crawler) that strips out obviously sensitive info like internal notes to support people.

Nothing revolutionary to report on the prompt injection stuff. Most people using HH are using it for public documentation so there really isn't any info in the source content that couldn't be surfaced in an answer.

I've argued in the past here on HN that your first employee should probably be an attorney--or at the very least have one on retainer, and got absolutely roasted for it. I still believe it though. How do you even know if your software product is legal everywhere you plan to distribute it? Are there any states that forbid what you are doing? Are all your dependency licenses really compatible? Are your logging practices legal in the EU? A single lawyer is not going to be a deep expert in Polish law, but he or she will be able to at least give general advice to keep the product from being dead on day one.

We laugh-complain about "ha ha the lawyers are designing our products now" but it kind of has to be the case in the complex legal environment businesses operate in.
A new tab would be highly disruptive, if I just wanted a glimpse over the content.

I know how to close a tab, be it via keyboard shortcut or mouse click. I know how to resize it. I know how to print it. When content I want to glimpse at opens in a modal, I know none of that. Even if it is well designed, different sites will have different engagement paradigms.

My current pet peeve with modals is when I try to select text with the mouse, and drag past the edge of the modal, it closes.
I've heard a joke somewhere, I'm paraphrasing: If European taxpayers could directly offer all the lobbyists residing in Brussels double the money for not doing what they are being paid for, now, it would be one of the most profitable things and by far and large the greatest deed for all its citizens.

As it stands now the cost of rigging especially in the EU is extraordinarily cheap and effective.

Legged-robot technology is still very immature, even more so when the rover was designed. Wheels work well on relatively flat Martian terrain and are a lot less likely to break than robot legs.

Interestingly the latest Mars rover also includes a small helicopter, another technology which requires spinning something on a bearing and does not commonly exist in nature.
Where is there a source - is there a source - for less aggregated student loan data?

For example, not everyone gets the same amount loaned. What does that distribution look like? Map it to higher edu schools? Map it to tuition? Map it to high schools? Etc.

The point is, there are a lot of students and therefore a lot of debt. Naturally, such a big pool is going to have outliers. When the media parades a student loan "victim" is that (e.g.) $100k of debt typical or atypical?

Helm lost on execution. The browser company which makes Arc will also lose similarly unless they drastically change.
Are you sure about that? I think recognizing that you’re in the top 1% (and probably top 0.01% globally) is a much healthier way to help underpaid people. It lets you eg advocate for higher minimum wages, social safety nets, higher taxes (that you’re happy to pay, cause hey, lots of money), etc. Earning that much money while pretending to be oppressed seems borderline offensive to me.
The article says exacyly that itself.

Unfortunately I moved out of Germany but I loved this system. In Dresden-Neustadt [quite funky party areal], it was quite common to leave beer bottles or alcopop cans neatly outside of the trash bins. So people who make money from collecting them don't have to dig in trash. Pure humanity.

I used to work at FAANG there, one of the managers was a fun guy. For a month he committed to do the same thing as the people who collect cans - every 04:00am he went around town, collecting bottles and cans. Turns out you can easily make 100-200eur a day with this. But it's a highly competitive business.
Civilizations collapsed under less stress. Billionaires exist only if there is a highly organized society. Actually most tech exists only if there is a highly organized society.
I moved in the other direction. Helped my father run a business that could roughly be classified as "sewer and water installation", among other things.

The term "manual" varies a ton. The work I was doing was extremely physical, requiring long hours (12 hours on a reduced day, six days a week) during the main work season. Friends working in a grocery store had very different working conditions and pay.

The first thing to keep in mind is that it's hard to do a job with a heavy physical component after 50. There's a good chance you'll end up managing other workers, and it's not the same as managing office workers. And finally, as is the case with many of these types of jobs, mine required considerable intellectual effort in addition to the physical effort (solving problems, dealing with regulations, etc.) and I had to deal with customers all the time.

Hey all,

Today, we published the 2nd edition of the SaaS Benchmarks Report.

Based on data from over 2,100 SaaS businesses, this is the most comprehensive report we have ever published.

What does the data tell us?

First, SaaS growth was the slowest it has been in years, and while so far, it’s stabilized in 2023, we are starting to see some acceleration again in some segments.

Second, those who are growing, are relying more and more on expansion revenue, and retention has now become a key growth driver. Companies that were able to retain their customers in this tough climate grew at least 1.8x faster than their peers.

Third, new business ARR is finally ticking up and some green shoots are starting to emerge. Businesses with ARR over $1m saw an uptick in new business ARR growth in the first quarter of 2023. It’s hard to say if this is an outlier or part of a wider trend.

These insights only scratch the surface. I hope you get a chance to go through the full report. There are a ton of insights in there.

Happy reading,
Sid

With memory_order_acquire, you need a load-load barrier on the read side of RCU on ARM; with memory_order_consume, assuming an optimal implementation you do not. On alpha you need a barrier either way. Hence consume improves performance on ARM (and other similar architectures), but doesn't help Alpha.

edit: to be more explicit, you can't formally implement RCU with relaxed + a compiler barrier, although in practice it might work most of the time.

I've had a few career breaks from IT.

One time was a job in the construction industry for 6 months. It was the happiest I'd ever been. I went from struggling to get to sleep, struggling to wake up before midday in IT, to bouncing out of bed at 4am for a 6am start. I could have woken up later but I wanted an hour to relax and have a coffee before work.

I was outside all day, saw the sunrise and the sunset, my mood was amazing, my feet were sooo sore. I liked the people I was working with, about half the foremen were total pricks and I enjoyed dealing with them too.

I ended the shift physically worn out and ready to go home. I got home around 7pm, put my work clothes in the washing machine, had a shower, had dinner, put my clothes in the drier and was in bed before 9. I'd try to watch something but I'd fall asleep very quickly.

wake up 5 minute before my 4am alarm and hit my head on the ceiling bouncing out of bed looking forward to the day.

I did that for 6 months, I was thinking I would start looking for another job in IT when I was contacted by someone filling a role and got it.

So, I would say if you're serious about leaving, talk to your boss and ask for 6 months leave without pay, and go do something different. You then have the option of going back. Or, just quit, do something else for 6-12 months and if you feel the urge to go back to your old field, start applying for roles.
I would further elaborate on your point by saying that as someone who likes to hang out on programming fora and help people as I was helped when I was young, this terminology confusion causes real confusion in the field as well.

Many programmers-in-training find it confusing as to why whether or not a function has a name seems to be tied to whether or not it has an environment (not that they phrase it that way but that's what it boils down to), and my usual answer is to explain something much like your post; the resolution is, there is no such connection. I have fielded this question in one form or another many times.

"Anonymous function" should not be used as a synonym for "closure". Generally I will follow along with the dominant language terminology if I am clearly in the context of a very particular language, but may include why I don't like the language community's terminology if it helps my point.
When I was a child writing games with QBasic, my simple text adventures would load up instantly. Though all the professional made games I played had loading screens. So I added a progressbar with some for loops to make my game more professional. 500 iterations was about 1 second I remeber (on my specific 386 that is).
Why should it be that long? Why not 10 or 20 years?

The problem is both, and Ukraine is arresting people who film them. It's martial law, both countries are at war and truth suffers (understandably).

> What is the purpose of arresting your missile scientists for treason? What’s your best case interpretation?

I don't know, I would guess:

- They said something about the Khinzal that downplays the importance of the weapon.

- They said something that would help Ukraine better counter them.

- They said something against Putin or the military invasion.

What they very likely didn't say is that the Khinzal is a hypersonic maneuverable weapon, which is the point of TFA you're commenting about.

No, mostly the software makes working on modern cars easier and more rewarding. Everything has built in diagnostics so it’s a lot easier to pinpoint what is wrong and fix it. Old cars would often never quite run correctly and there was no straightforward path to figure out why except tediously swapping parts out.
There’s so much confusion out there due to people throwing out the term “closure” imprecisely, ugh
This sounds like a great story, congrats! Having the opportunity to go "all in" on a hobby in this way is enticing for sure. Would you mind telling more about how the opportunity came up to go full-time? Was it being in the right place at the right time, or what type of risk did you step into?
I don't think that's correct? Can you give an example of an algorithm on x86 or ARM that requires a consume barrier to operate correctly? It's a noop. Dependent loads on those hardware architectures do not reorder, and by definition dependent loads can't be reordered by the compiler (because you can't write time travel code that executes a load before the instruction that loads its pointer!).

Consume does not AFAICT act as a memory clobber or optimization barrier to the compiler.

Addressing "(It doesn't have a cellular data connection so it's not a security risk)" - I wouldn't say it's not a security risk. Check out the Bluetooth docs in the repo for example. Cellular data is only one interface out of many others (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, CAN, XM radio, HD radio). Jailbreaking anything isn't without its risks.

Further, I agree that it's reasonable to ship a 2016 car with 2012 software. But I've seen no evidence that these headunits have gotten security updates within that timeframe. Think of it like a smartphone. I can make do with a phone that's a few years old, but I have an expectation that it will receive timely security updates. In the case of the Honda headunits, they run Android. They should receive Android security patches (I'll admit there's certainly complexity there, Google has long struggled with the tradeoff between device security and AOSP ubiquity). There's nothing wrong with using an older version of Android or an LTS kernel, but it should still receive security patches.

Last year, some Mazda cars were accidentally bricked by a radio station broadcast omitting file extensions: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2022/02/radio-station-snafu-in-.... That was an accident, not the work of a malicious actor.

Consider Stagefright bugs. As I understand it, although it was published in 2015, it affected several earlier Android versions, including 4.2.2. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagefright_(bug). As far as I know, my car was never patched against Stagefright bugs. All it takes is a bug in one library (such as for HD radio image processing) and a well-published Android for something like this to be a big problem.

It's complicated; I like jailbreaking. I also think Honda should ship higher-quality software with better security policies and update guarantees

The main issue as I understand it is that you lose a lot of energy to heat if you just pump air straight in. To be efficient you need to chill the compressed air down to water temperature and store the heat before you pump the air underwater. Then add the heat back to the air when you release it from the balloon. This is all doable, but with all those heat pumps it's not quite as simple/cheap as it might seem.
