I don't like businesses I haven't specifically chosen managing my digital affairs and buyouts put me in that position. Plus I don't trust Squarespace at all.

Fortunately this is the last Google product I was still using, so after this migration I will be 100% google free, which will be a great day.

I was a Google die hard, everything except Reader that they killed made sense. At this point it seems like the CFO is in charge and no good product is safe.
Eric Chahi (The Creator of Another World) Interview [video]
I believe iOS and iPadOS both support standard HID devices if connected through a USB-to-Lightning or USB-C adapter. I've used a Logitech MX Ergo on an iPad Mini and thought that was pretty neat.

I thought about getting a Magic keyboard and pairing that and the Ergo to the iPad as a lightweight SSH solution for traveling.
Rasberry Pi and some other SoC-based embedded boards allow on-board development but it's never as much fun as it should be. At the end of the day I prefer some mixed model where I run VSCode or similar on the PC and download/remote-debug on the target.
That makes no sense. Just as long as they don't shut down Keep, I'll stay sane though.
One joking theory as to why various CDNs were having issues on Monday is because their engineers usually turn to Reddit for answers...
Are you viewing this as an "either/or" situation, or are we cool to do both? Eg, plant those trees and then go play some video games?
Looks like I'm destined for the gulag for sure.
Yep, this is the main reason I use Android. It also means I can modify things on the OS level to e.g. fabricate false GPS data and supply it to apps that insist on GPS access to be functional.

On iPhones and stock Android phones, apps "know" when you deny permissions, and can even know when you use the mock GPS feature.
To be fair, bug #1 was that the normalization call had no effect, so the fact that it’s also being done in the wrong sequence doesn’t actually have a further effect on gameplay.
Not to be confused with the various flavors of socialism, especially the ones that emphasize democratic rule.
Oh, boy. Will any of that impact backward compatibility?

I don't develop anything in Python, but it is used by several applications of importance to me. The lack of compatibility between versions is a thing that bites me hard, and I tend to curse Python because of it.
Anyone else tired of all of these reddit stories? There's like 2-3 a day at the top of HN with minimal new information, pretty annoying
It's now a self fulfilling prophecy.

No one used Google Stadia because Google kills things with little warning, which subsequently caused Google to kill Stadia.

Google will never be able to launch another product.
You took the trouble to italicize the binomial, but didn't capitalize the generic name, whereas the OP's title failed to not capitalize the species epithet.
Precisely as long as it takes YouTube to fail, which is their last remaining meaningful cash cow (besides advertising).
This overlooks the far worse or ominous situation: the correlation with the Nasdaq is only to the downside, plus a large beta multiple of 3x or more, not to the upside. Hence why the correlation is low, but it captures all of the downside of the Nasdaq. This is also why correlation can be misleading, or why correlation and diversification are not the same thing. People who think they are diversifying by buying a 'low ' correlated asset like Bitcoin are merely diversifying losses and not reaping any of the benefits of diversification. Indeed, Enron stock had a a low correlation with the S&P 500 in 2001-2002.
Huh. I used a Samsung phone as my primary phone for a year, but I missed that. I'll have to check that out.
But my iPhone can do almost a million things this thing can’t. What’s the point of this article?
The best apartment building I ever lived in in NYC was built in the 1920s and was built "naturally fireproof", where there were thick masonry walls between each unit to prevent the spread of fire. I literally never heard a single neighbor, anywhere, ever. Not my same-floor neighbors, nor the people above or below me.

Compare that with newer buildings I lived in, where I would be woken up at 3AM by my upstairs neighbor's cat running around.
Seconded. I once went to an IBM seminar with Grady Booch and seldom have I heard such an inane string of platitudes. Architecture Astronauts are the worst, and if there is one thing Agile can legitimately claim for, it's getting us rid of that plague.
Thank god my dependency on Google services keeps going down with every year that passes
Don't most of these come with ads? It's not a good situation.
I swapped to an iPhone last year. After using Android exclusively.

I’ve been extremely happy with my iPhone. Apple has all of the little polish and cross connections that make it a wonderful experience. I think Android made sense while the smartphone market was growing, but all of the platforms are mature now. Android fragments further and Apple polishes more.
Most people have zero clue this is possible, even on devices they already own.
It's not really about development as such, at least for me, it's about "I can do whatever I want" and development is just an example of that.
Combine both ? :)
I went to pre-sales engineering. Had to explain the value of technology to customers, answer questions regarding integration technology with existing systems, and building labs based on their existing architecture. So not very different from what I was doing prior to the switch. Also you get to see all types of good (and bad) infrastructure. It was a lot of fun, but left very little time for building (the labs part was a lot of regurgitation, existing built labs and checking boxes in a frontend i built to deploy common services found in enterprise environments).

You spend a lot of time in front of customers, so your verbal and written communications need to be on point. If you are juggling multiple projects, then you need to be able to context switch quickly and offload work to other teams (if you are working with a large organization -- i was working in smaller shops, so I was the person I offloaded my stuff onto -- hello 70-80 hour work weeks) The pay is great and its a good way to leapfrog yourself if you're trying to startup a project, but the travel is soul crushing and I stopped after a year to be with my children. The pay is really really great. The only time I've made a FAANG salary working for relatively no-name companies

Also to add, it was very hard to stop saying 'No' to questions that were an obvious No. Like one time I had to build out a lab using popular networking gear and a new software product that both claimed to integrate with k8s, however the network gear didn't support older versions of k8s and the software product only supported older versions of k8s. My boss told me that i could not say 'No' and to get it done. So I smoke-and-mirrored a demo where one day I showed network+k8s integration and another day k8s+software product integration. Never both together. It felt icky, but no one asked to see both and in the next release k8s was supported (before we got to the implementation phase). Sales people always say Yes, Engineers always say No. Pre-sales engineers say "Yes, And..."
Exactly, UML mostly borrowed from existing representations and its purpose was standardizing semantics and providing some consistency among the diagrams.

IIRC, it's not about private use but about distribution. We publish libraries under MIT, since other corporate users would very likely need to distribute those.

But the higher-level Apps we publish under GPL, so that downstream is obligated to keep it open-source (but there is no obligation to submit a PR upstream).

And there are more than a few companies that use our GPL stuff, internally and don't redistrubute and therefore don't have to make their internal modifications available under GPL -- because there is no distribution happening.

I'm not a lawyer but our decision was informed by one who has prior experience in IP, licensing and specifically FOSS-style licenses.
The missing disclosure is "I'm the author of the Caddy web server". I'm not sure why you would do it halfway.
No it doesn't, for some of these at least you can render the page server side and the reactive components become reactive a bit later on, isn't that how next would work as well? It's a blend of server side and front end interactivity right?
They've given months of notice! The transfer process is gonna take awhile and you don't have to scramble to do anything this weekend.
It's so cool to see modern workflows and software on old devices. I chase this through my retro computing hobby, seeing how far I can take old machines.

Do any HN users have a recommendation for a lightweight distro that would run on an SSE1-only Pentium III CPU? The most recently supported Ubuntu distro is a little too heavy for it.
Dont you want to discuss and talk about a design before you even touch a keyboard? In my projects we always discus high level overviews with pen and whiteboards. Nobody should even dare to touch a keyboard.
> Users should be in control of their devices

One data point on this whole debate around Apple walled garden. It's basically my own opinion, not a blank statement. It won't be very popular here but whatever. Here it goes:

The reason why I'm personally sticking with the iPhone is exactly the walled garden. I had a 3G, the 5, and now the 8 for last 5 years (there goes the argument about buying a new phone every year). I bought all of them knowing very well what I'm getting into and I want it to remain that way. If I didn't want a walled garden, I'd get an Android phone.
If you don't mins, I would like one. Email is in my HN about page.
Isn't it already? The list of products killed is so long that most people have probably got burnt at least once by Google.

Those old palmtops sure bring back memories. I'd probably still have one as a hobby device, except for the fact they all came with ghosty, smear-y DSTN screens whose black-white response time is better measured in seconds instead of milliseconds.
I feel a little scared to even answer this question because I’m a “self-taught” dev in a Junior Analyst role at a small cap firm. Sometimes I feel like I’m still waiting for the other foot to drop.

Realistically, I think a lot of development outside of the really slick software stuff is happening in industries that require some other knowledge base outside of development. I went to school for an unrelated field, I learned some computational stats as part of my program but that’s about it. Everything else I learned in my down time. I eventually found a team at my company (I started in an unrelated role) to bring me on as a junior and since then it has been full-steam ahead, learn as much as possible, as quickly as possible, on the job.

My advice would be to find a field that you are interested in and try to find dev needs there. For me, it was data analysis/data science. I’m fortunate that my formal education lends itself to those fields. Were I try to my luck somewhere else I’m not sure how it would go.

Other than that, build a portfolio. Start your own website and start filling it with content (personal projects to show off your skills). Find a way to prove to potential employers that you know your stuff.
For all the people that say this is easy. Try it ! That's not easy at all, I've tried it and spend a few weeks to get similar performance. Receiving thousands of request is not similar to making thousands of requests, you can saturate your network, saturated with latency of random websites, get site that never timeout, parse multi megabytes malformed html, get infinite redirections.

My fastest implementation in python was actually using threads and was much faster than any async variant
>It's not unreasonable for device manufacturers to sandbox and restrict access to functionality to protect the majority of their users.

Hard disagree. It's absolutely unreasonable to infantilize users and lock them out from fully utilizing their purchased hardware.
Awesome story! The line about believing you are an informed trader when you are really just a noise trader brought back memories of my failed trading endeavors.
It can also do things my watch, refrigerator, car, iPod, washer & dryer, and smart lightbulbs can't do. Know why? Because they're not meant to write and compile programs on. Why would anyone want to write software on the ergonomically constrained (for writing software) iPhone? Just because? Gotta do better than that.
What stuck with me (I couldn't finish it either) was the difference between the main character and his friend's attitude to maintenance issues. Specifically the soda can shim situation. His friend had a loose handle bar or something, and the solution was a metal shim. The friend refused to "use trash as a shim" (a piece of aluminum can) and would rather pay someone at a shop to fix it.
That sort of world view is something that always really irked me, but I never know how to describe it.
Much as this makes me happy (I started at hp when this thing came out) I have to say that a phone is not the same as a PDA or other embedded device. A lot of the difficulty of developing on a phone is that the appstore model and ubiquitous connectivity pretty much mandates a much higher level of firewalling and sandboxing. If you get a separate phone you won't use for making calls and texting then jailbraking and doing on-board development isn't that hard.

Out of curiosity, are you referring to rooted Android, or some variant that provides the user some protection from apps "knowing"? GrapheneOS seems to provide some of this (Storage Scopes, network permission, etc.) but not all.
Ironically, the only citations I recall are on reddit, and I believe from blacked out subreddits.

And I should have added some cutoff there. It's mods of large enough subreddits.

But why else would the mods be so up in arms?
I think it’s more accurate to say most communities had a blacksmith. “Farmer” was the most popular and widespread occultations. A community at that time didn’t require a ton of specialized labor, they needed more people using the output of a blacksmith.
Avoid cache line ping-pong, don't waste cache, and make accesses as spatially predictable as possible. Okay, I can see where you're coming from, thanks.
The biggest reason is probably that nobody makes anything anymore....

Plus, about half those old books had information a modern person generally hopes to never use, even if they do still make things. Much as I love living history, I don't want to mill lumber by hand or do anything that involves the phrase "Measure out the white lead and mix it into the...".

There's lots of stuff that would be interesting and potentially useful, but information these days seems to spread based on immediate usefulness (Except math. Everyone just accepts people all should learn a pretty large amount even though only some of them will ever use it), and people don't really think about uncommon scenarios.

But now it seems like we're right on the edge where even modern practical things are being forgotten, and "I don't know how to cook" is starting to literally mean "I doordash every day and couldn't make a pot of spaghetti to save my life, and I think an impact driver must be a porn star name".

Thanks! Reach out if you ever need a hand.
For me the most amazing part here was the briefly mentioned spec of having a CFL backlight. I would have never considered that, but for the era it makes perfect sense.
I agree with you completely, I always found federated platforms confusing to use and they still run into the same problems that billion dollar platforms have without the resources to solve or mitigate them.
Look for junior roles and include a Github/Gitlab/side project URL on your CV. Artists have a portfolio; developers have projects.

Over time your _industry_ experience overrides the Github projects.
A lot of Android phones are capable of this (OnePlus, Samsung) but for reasons I don't understand Google disables it on the Pixel devices. I was infuriated when I tried to plug in my Pixel to a USB-C to HDMI cable and went down the troubleshooting rabbit hole only to find out that something I used to do all the time on my OnePlus wasn't possible.
Did you ever find yourself offended by Augustus Gloop?
"You seem to lack the restraint of a normal civilized person" is unquestionably a personal attack and the sort of thing we ban accounts for, so please don't do that again.

I gather from your reply that you didn't intend it that way! and that's fine - except that what matters is how the comment lands with a reasonable reader. Readers don't have access to your intent - it's in your head, not ours - so the burden is on you (i.e. all of us) to disambiguate your intent explicitly.

(Btw, please don't do religious, ideological, and/or nationalistic flamewar on HN. Your comment here has elements of all three. We want curious conversation here, and that sort of flamewar is the antithesis of it, so we have to be proactive about trying to avoid it.)

There's a really good example that someone found in the wild, where Google would omit exact string matches, but could then be coaxed into producing them indirectly.

It is disturbing because I thought this was a problem we had solved 20 years ago. If I could remember a few details about something that was indexed by Google, I used to be able to just find it.

Samsung has had the feature for longer like you say, but I think this is a stock android feature these days! Might be wrong though.
Crap sentence, but people in Australia, US, and UK can cover every time zone.
I’m curious what you use that for on a phone screen, and how frequently?
Sounds like you had a very deep relationship with Google that went beyond just a simple registration of a domain name.

I don't know Squarespace as a company, but looking at the wikipedia entry, they are a publicly-traded American company on the NYSE and appear to have removed websites that promoted bigotry or hate, etc. so how bad could they really be? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squarespace
You are missing the point. A casino is already giving away a lot of money to a winner when somebody else is losing.
Reddit Moderation Bots and Tooling: increasing the API limits from 60 to 100 QPM

The following are your words, not mine, although the emphasis is:

> > Federated services will never become mainstream. This is just the reality that people need to come to accept. I find them heavily talked about in circles with my colleagues and in my profession but the attraction of decentralized services just isn't there for the vast majority of people.

Jailbroken iphones too
Looks very nice and I adhere to the concepts quite a lot !

one thing you could add : tha ability to save messages sent throughout the Agency/system to a log. That would grant you instant replay ability.
I didn't know that. And I've been on reddit for at least a decade. What are you talking about?
Except, as we saw with the Google article today, companies will soon get wise to the fact that feeding their product source code into a cloud-based GPT model is a great way for that source code to leak out.

Sure, maybe OpenAI or Google will sell a "for-business" model for thousands upon thousands of dollars a year, but will people really trust that it's not phoning home? Will there be rate limits on requests that make it not make sense to use it for everyday tasks?
This article is a little old but explains: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/09/amazon-flex-drivers-use-bots...

The quote: "Drivers say competition has grown so intense that they’re increasingly relying on bots to get work, even though the tools violate Amazon’s terms of service."

There is far more demand for this kind of work then there is work available.
Q2 being so slowed down compared to QuakeWorld makes a lot of sense when you read that John Carmack _hated_ the bunnyhopping bug in QW, and wanted everyone to be slow moving Terminators walking down hallways.

I'm with you though, I hated it, and my friends and I quickly went back to QW (+ QWTF) after trying Q2 briefly. I did have a soft spot for Rocket Arena 2 in Q2 though, that was fun.
> It is somewhat hard to find an engaging game after 35, since you have already played everything there was and know all the tropes.

Same for TV but i don't think people stop watching those indistinguishable series.

So you can still play different games with similar mechanics because of the different setting.
Not only 21st century. While we've seen brutal dictatorships in the past, we've never seen one with access to 21st century technology to further their goals. The old dictatorships could only be so efficient, but the scale and sophistication of North Korea's actions is unprecedented.

Unfortunately, it's not as much ignoring as it is the few options available. If there is one country that can do something about it, that would be China - they currently prop the regime. But I wouldn't hold my breath that China, also one of the most immoral regimes in history, would care about what North Korea is doing as long as it keeps bothering the US.
that is because the acceptance rate is so low to begin with. for any profession this holds, not just Fortune 500 CEOs .

Because many people can do everything they need on their undocked phone already.

For me, my phone is an auxiliary device and my preferred device is the computer. But I'm sure I'm in the minority.
I agree with you both except that architects are alive and well. I worked with an ex IBM architect a couple of years ago. Lovely guy but for someone designing software systems, I found it remarkable that he didn’t know how to write code.

...or he could just have tiered pricing.

If he were to optimize his calls, he could get them down to under the new ratelimit, as the Relay for Reddit dev has. Once under the ratelimi, with no notifications, it's a total of $0.78/user/mo.
Reddit is a social media platform, not just a website. The browser is _one_ method by which you can interface with the data. Apps are another. API is another too.
