I don't know, I'm still in my 20s, maybe my mind will change as I get older. Today if I had to choose between my spouse grieving or the other way around I'd rather it be me.
I think people have this idea that meaning must not be fair compensation (or put another way, adequate compensation relative to the size of the company and demands required).

I think excluding compensation from those jobs, meaning higher compensation, from the idea of meaning is losing sight of it all. There at a lot of jobs that if people were compensated better they would find it to be more meaningful to engage with. It can be a primary motivation to simply do well because they feel fairly valued.

It’s not all heart and soul stuff
2023, when a rocket landing backwards and being reused is blasé. :)
These are linked. Most of Downtown SF's desirability was you can work there and make a lot of money. When you could suddenly work other places for the same money, the main reason to go was gone. SF's pandemic policies exacerbated this by further driving certain people away from the city. Without office workers to put pressure on the city to keep the area safe-ish (or at least hide what's going on), the TL spread.

And now, even if people return to the office, there's no reason for it to be in SF.

Expand "Snap windows" (down arrow on right side)

Turn off "When I drag a window, let me snap it without dragging it all the way to the screen edge" if you're finding it to be too sensitive.
But if humans know the level of BS is increasing, and get burned by it once or twice (where it hurts), will they not adapt and become more adept at detecting BS?
Sorry, but what's CICO?
The problem is that the phenomenon of feeling your own job is bullshit is not as common as he says, and on wider ranging surveys this feeling is negatively correlated with the kind of jobs he posits are more likely to be bullshit: it's much rarer for someone working in an admin role in an office to feel like their work contributes nothing useful to the world than for someone doing manual labour for some essential service, like refuse collection.
They seem to be doing pretty well in Europe and Australia

Even carbon fiber isn't that expensive anymore. We can make whole airplanes out of them. Needing high pressure isn't that big of a challenge anymore.
I face similar problems running a docker-based NAS on a Raspberry Pi. But I end up just building the official images myself on the Pi (or on my dev machine with qemu) from the open source Dockerfile of the official image.
I think this may be where some manufacturers are heading, but not necessarily the big "consumer" names like Intel/AMD. It's a way to significantly lower the risk of building an SoC, and I think it's more plausible that this sort of third-party chiplet market will be driven by the Marvell/Broadcom types rather than Intel/AMD.
Thanks, one of the things I’ve always tried to do (at work, before I started on GB Studio) is make difficult things seem easy and accessible. Though I’d have also told you this was probably impossible before starting too!

I just built it up slowly, making small tools to help me make sense of what was going on while learning GBDK, before I knew it pretty much had something I could package up. I’ve had a lot of help along the way though, untoxa’s [0] engine rewrite, and the work pau-tomas [1] did on the music editor have been especially helpful to the project.

Been a bit absent from the community recently, not had the time, but hoping to get back on it again soon!

I’m always amazed at how many awesome games people keep making though, it makes me really happy as this the first of many failed side projects that I pushed on through to completion.

Yes, you are right. Potentially the effect is partly due to that after seeing the first post a user stumbles over something related and decides to post that as well.
Which leads to [0] and nothing to the actual entity violating the IP rights.

The point is that they think it's bullshit. The operation of copying rows itself exists for an intelligible reason (settling the university's accounts), but the dedicated role of "row copier" is a bullshit job from the vantage point of the people working it.

No shared notion of "bullshit" needs to exist between the two of us (or you and Graeber, me and Graeber, etc.). Assuming that we need to agree on what actually constitutes a "bullshit job" is making the same error that the GP points out.
As a native seattleite, this sounds incredibly idyllic. The few times my family could afford it, we'd vacation on the ocean. When the storms come, run inside, crawl under a blanket and sip cocoa. Nothing really compares.

I feel the same way about fonts, but if the front page HN is any indication, I'm probably in the minority.
Wow, that New Yorker article really is something. She hires private investigators to obtain sealed court records about an allegation of child abuse and de-anonymized the child. Then when the university reprimands her for this and tells her to turn over the documents, she calls that an "Orwellian nightmare". Orwellian? Who's the one doing the spying, procuring documents they have no right to possess? Loftus herself was the Orwellian nightmare but she saw herself as the victim in this. Even if Loftus's hypothesis about the case is correct, she clearly caused a great deal of emotional anguish for this person but was more concerned with the university telling her to leave it alone. The whole of this article paints her as a narcissist if not a psychopath.

The whyevolutionistrue rebuttal is insubstantial, it doesn't address this at all.
Thank you very much for your excellent explanation. It indeed clarifies the critical point that HN operates through the participation of its users, not as an automated system.

Your observations regarding the collective action of HN users are spot on. The well-established and tactfully moderated site guidelines foster meaningful discussions and are instrumental in shaping the quality of discourse on this platform. The strong preference for earnest conversation over low-effort humor or tropes is one of the factors that make HN such a rich and stimulating environment.

Your comments serve as a potent reminder of what makes Hacker News a great resource and a thriving community. Your input is deeply appreciated, and I look forward to more such enlightening discussions on this platform.

I didn’t say you couldn’t take philosophy courses, the fundamental issue that that you’re trying to force others to fund it for you. The same way I don’t support subsidies for Lockheed. This is a big thing I experienced in my undergraduate, it was always arts students trying to force things onto others. They simultaneously force their courses onto everyone else through breadth requirements while not having any breadth requirements themselves.
Unless you're accustomed to them being on the left, in which being on the right is the weird thing.

Red means stop, yellow means slow/yield, green means go, which in the context of window management doesn't make sense, but if you think about it differently, a good 40% of it makes sense.
Red means stop existing, yellow means yield to other windows, and green means... go big?
Back in the day all wikis used to be open for editing, unfortunately spam and vandalism has made it rare. Anyway, as another random visitor, I simply reverted that change.
I mean, what's your definition of "good"? Is it "valuable as a business"? "Helpful to consumers?" "Good for the environment?"

Tech has produced lots of useful things, but many of them are simply not good businesses, and many of the ones that are good businesses are run in a way that is so odious that it makes it hard for anyone to benefit.

Reddit is a great platform for lots of things, but making profit's not one of them. Amazon has revolutionized how people shop and consume all sorts of products but at massive economic and environmental cost. Discord and Slack and Zoom have made communication with friends/family/colleagues much much easier but struggle to make money.

Craigslist and Wikipedia are both pretty great, though. Don't see much downside to either of them.
I'm curious as to why the windows version is 8x the file size of the mac/ linux ones
Rectangle is a drop-in replacement for Spectacle, and provides an option upon first install to select the Spectacle default keyboard shortcuts. Note that Spectacle only included keyboard shortcut window management, while Rectangle also includes the drag to screen edge snapping.
I wish you were right, but no. I've tried that one and a lot more besides. Go ahead and test it yourself, and let me know if you find a different one that actually works.
My first time in SF was when I attended JavaOne 2007, because Java was still kind of exciting back then. Did what I'm used to in new cities - walk in a random direction to find something interesting. Two minutes later I felt like I was in The Wire.

In subsequent visits I didn't wander about.

And then I hear that things have gotten worse....
You should call the police. But preferrably in a way that cannot be traced back to you. Unfortunately, there aren't any phone booths anymore...

It’s not always about business.

Read up on the history of Greater London Council/Greater London Authority, its one attempt deal with the 32 boroughs and City of London Corporation. Compare it with say NYC, or similarly large city’s around the world and it’s clear London/UK could benefit from streamlining things.
I'll just say that the entire point of zero-day is that you are not aware of it now and that zero-click attacks exist and also that while your selection of a product based on historical performance under scrutiny is valid, you cannot use that as evidence to claim an attack is not possible.

And again, you miss the whole point of zero-day, it is an unknown. You can create an attacker-hostile environment but you cannot make guarantees or claim a solution is best practice against an unknown/undefined.

As far as I am aware for example, spectre/meltdown or *-hammer attacks could have been used against your disposable vm to read your email vm's memory. There are also hardware attacks against radio controllers/chips that could be used to wirelessly dump memory without your interaction.

You know, I was just telling someone how I thought those scenes in movies where the hacker guy types really fast and hacks everything were silly when I started working in security. Now, I know that if he is just the guy buying/trading exploits and spent a lot of time automating stuff and setting up infra,it is indeed possible to make it all look so easy (but still, some movies/shows take it too far). Especiallu in government work, the guys using the tools are rarely the guys that develop them or maintain their infra. The guys who develop access might also be different from the guys who action objectives or work on exfil or shell management.
The area near the mall was pretty uninviting even before the guidelines to ignore theft under $1000 came into effect. Aggressive people high on drugs, exposed needles, and human feces were pretty much the norm, despite all the wealth that flowed into SF due to its growth. Everyone either was or personally knew at least one victim of a car break-in or bicycle theft.

The government ignored all those issues because it didn't stop people from visiting SF, setting up businesses there and buying real estate there.

Things got worse during the pandemic. City turned into a ghost town. The shoplifting went into high gear, and the density of tents around downtown went up even more.

Still the city didn't do anything. I bet they thought, "oh, this pandemic will be over soon and all the working from home will end along with it".
Are people the best judge of whether or not their job is bullshit? Doubtful.

Some people might complain about all the data they need to analyze and forms to fill out and say "my job is bullshit", but it's all needed for compliance with some industry regulations (that HN seems to love so much).

Is that a bullshit job? I'd say no, even if the person doing the work thinks so.
It varies. Those who claim Sun and Moon are tiny bodies spinning in flat circles only a few thousand miles above a flat Earth, possibly under a Firmament (basically, Sky Dome) have to deny most of astronomy and cosmology.

Funny thing is, I don't know if there are any Flat Earthers who refuse to use GPS positioning.
They're neglecting the fact that if you eliminated the checks, a lot more people would apply for benefits (and you would have to deal with much more fraud - look at the COVID relief fraud which had fairly little supervision). Induced demand, if you will.

It's the same as the TSA - they're not very good at catching people bringing things through at airports, but their mere presence there acts as a pretty good deterrent for people trying funky things.
I read this book and then started asking devs about BS projects. Turns out there are a lot. I even wrote it up.

I remember someone talking about the nth attepted rewrite of the company's main project. Where all the devs were certain it would fail like the last one but the new CTO had a new plan. Just like the last CTO.

So there are definitely lots of people working at jobs they beleive are pointless though somewhere up the hierarchy it's beleived to be important. Which fits grabers definition.

The crazy thing is these jobs can be hard. Deadlines to hit and the like, but also they are pointless. It's a path to burnout.

I wholeheartedly and aggressively recommend Graeber's book Debt: the first 5000 years. It changed my whole view of the social role of money and property. I have bought copies of it for multiple people.

I haven't read Bullshit Jobs, because from the press tour around it it seemed to me Graeber's position was one I'd already considered and rejected. It seems to me that a lot of desk jobs that feel like bullshit to the employee are really part of the nervous tissue of the organization, and the value they provide to the organization is still larger than the employee's salary. I could be wrong, however, either about Graeber's thesis or about his conclusion.

Either way, brilliant author and great man. Lost too soon in Summer 2020, likely due to rare covid complications. Debt will always have a place on my bookshelf.
Dive seems to have been abandoned though.

I used it a few times in the past.
In the absence of actual evidence, one could argue literally anything.
The data from police does not reflect what businesses are reporting. This may be due to reclassification of crimes. Also police do not respond to theft any longer.

AT&T is closing their store. They've lost over 1 million in inventory over the past 2 years.

Complexity, it’s not always about economic growth. Though it’s also clear the UK has been in relative decline compared to the rest of the world long before these reforms started.
Yes, but often in a later due diligence stage.

That doesn't mean that learning Emacs would not be worthwhile, it just means people don't do it.
Sorry, could you expand a bit more on what happened with GKE? I’m still trying to process all of this instead of enjoying my Saturday.
So they were just wrong in saying it's not supported? You didn't make that clear.

And yes I can find many sources saying it's supported.
I'm sorry but someone who is unable to determine problems with a tool they've used for 7 years is a huge red flag. That sort of blindness to frustrations is legitimately a massive problem in this field.
It's not fixed because it's not a bug. Obviously. It's a feature that you want that would annoy the vast majority of users. Which is why they aren't implementing it. Who wants an annoying continuous beepy sound? It's 2023. We get alerts in all kinds of ways these days. If your phone is silenced, then you want it to BE SILENT.

You complaining doesn't make something a "bug".
I think this is more likely. Tooling changes a lot, and if they had a developer that was capable of patching the binary, it was probably faster and less risk

In related news, an ABC reporter for Good Morning America recently revealed on air that he was told not to report live from the location of this mall because it wouldn't be safe.

I've owned personally, and used macs for work since around 2009. I've never installed any third party window-snapping or management systems, and I don't consider it a big deal.

I do use window snapping on Win10/11 periodically, but TBH I find that the beefed up snapping in Win11 is more annoying than it is useful, often snapping things to quarters of the screen when I just wanted to move a window.

Likewise, I've seen non-programmer users on win10 hit the window snapping by accident and be confused and put off by it.

Would I like it if Apple were to build a power-user window snapping feature into macOS? Yes, I would. Am I upset at them for not including it? Certainly not. Were I a product manager for macOS I would find it hard to justify the investment, given all the other things they can and do work on.
There was something impressive with tenstorrent original architecture (haven't been following the talk about pivoting to risc-v) was the low cost of validation. It seemed like the idea was 'cheapest to tape-out with max FLOPS' and it somehow worked out well. Can't say more, I couldn't ever get my hands on one of them Grayskull so...
The problem with chiplets is that you can only fit so many of them in a realistic package. Once you hit that limit, you will need a way to pack more transistors on a single die. As a result, chiplets can only partial solve some of the issues of Moore's Law. It can't be a long-term extension of it.
This is me learning that pipewire is a RH project.

For context as to why it's not getting hate: the alternative is Pulseaudio (another RH project, headed by Poettering who is now at Microsoft incidentally) which was eggergiously difficult to configure, heavy and seemed to dominate any system that tried to interface with it even slightly.

The same exact concerns that people levy towards systemd and GNOME.

Pipewire is light, interfaces with programs on their terms and seems to follow the philosophy that "it's just a tool" meaning that it should not be something you have to care about as an application developer or as a user.

I have a lot of respect for that.
Panicking can be leveraged for a DoS attack. Use after free can be leveraged for arbitrary code execution.
Google didn't write the recipe, though; the blogger/author did. I have never trusted the snippets that Google started taking out of context and attempts to spoon-feed you at the top of the search, because much of the time they don't answer what I asked. Even then, the source is cited, allowing you to see the context yourself. Google is a tool for locating information from other sources. LLMs do not always correctly cite their sources, let alone provide them.
