This is the real issue with adopting new architectures, imho. So many packages claim to support arm, for example, whilst not enabling the proper optimisation flags, rendering it unusable. A loooot of work we take for granted has been put to optimize things for x86.
Code is maintenance heavy and tends to have interdependencies on other related code. Eg, I wouldn't use qt4 today because it's dead, so if something is wrong with it it's now my problem to figure out how to fix it.

Meanwhile qt6 is under active use and development, so I'm much more likely to find help and bug fixes, and developer interest. And it's less likely to say, stop building because cmake deprecated some ancient feature, or uses some ancient and now incompatible library.
I drove ~1050km, SF -> Portland in my model 3 in one day. Around 11 hours total with a ~30 minute charge stop every ~2.5hrs. This was before the V3 superchargers.
Toyota's decision is based on their calculation that there wont be enough electricity produced to meet the demands of electric cars on a large scale, IIRC.
Um, not really. It was more about wanting to know if this is something that can be considered, or it doesn't interest people at all.

Might as well straight up do a product launch on ShowHN if it's not cool to choose this approach.

Appreciate your input though. :)
They're definitely being asked to come in (in many cases) because the cities in which the buildings exist are granting the companies tax breaks (and/or other monetary incentives) to "encourage" workers to work from the office in order to prop up local property values. (see the story here: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36835843>)

And also, yeah, I expect there are some companies that are seriously concerned about propping up the value of the building in which their office is located.
Fwiw, whenever where we used to say "tech debt" in our organization, we now say "velocity destroying tech debt" to emphasize the "molasses factor" of poorly managed code.
It was valuable for the person who extracted that rent, it will be less valuable. Therefore that value has disappeared from the market.

At a societal level, rent payers will pay less, and shareholders will probably be delighted.
Agreed. If they started releasing EVs en mass tomorrow they could stay relevant. If they wait another 3 years they’ll decay away
Gotcha, fair enough and pretty on point!
> I hate lotteries and gambling in general. Take from the hopeful, give to the lucky.

Sorry, but you've just described the underpinnings of our current winner-take-most societal-wide economic systems. Every day, more and more of our systems are rooted in luck. Being born to the right family, getting into a prestigious university, getting a good job, timing the housing market, investing in the stock market, starting a business... Everything is "take from the hopeful, give to the lucky".
They need another Meiji revolution.

Why the scare quotes? Pasteurization is one of the most important contributions to public health in the last 500 years.
Yes, because the grid is static and never can be expanded.
She's asking a question if waitlists are a good launch strategy.

This may not be Product Hunt but it is Hacker News, a forum ran by Y Combinator, which is a startup incubator.

I think its perfectly fine to ask questions about startups here without having to warn people about "lead gen".
I assume this is related to the very robust malloc implementation in OpenBSD.

> You know what's extremely cheap to manufacture? A larger fuel tank. How many mainstream passenger cars are being sold with a >80L (>20 gal) fuel tank because prospective car buyers "are addicted to options that remove limitations out of anxiety"?

It takes mere minutes to refill a tank, and there are gas stations everywhere throughout the country. It's quick, and incredibly easy. Far faster than EVs, and far more common that EV charging stations.

As a result, there's really no value in tanks that are that much larger, there's no range anxiety because even going long distance cross-country you're never that far away from a place to refuel.
The blog post route seems fair enough. Thank you so much!
Cause I read down the page, and I don't want there any text (adressbar where I prefer the full URL) to distract me.
It's probably like a lot of other transitions to related but different careers. In my experience, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't--which probably says that as a prospective employer (and employee) there is an additional risk factor.
This is because of that Antarctic Panini Press, isn't it? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36833252

I find it curious that a few people have used analogies to cucumbers and tomatoes. The botanical definitions of "fruit" and "vegetable" are more or less mutually exclusive. They are sort of antonyms of the produce world. But it seems that people generally agree that "hamburger" is a subset of "sandwich", an umbrella term for a lot of things. So I don't see that analogy being apt.
Actually, in US suburbia, a big portion of the population is living in an apartment with poor access to public transit. I look around all the many places I've lived and see huge apartment complexes with little access to transit. Transit has not caught up with urban sprawl in most places.

As far as EVs, if one is in an apartment with no charging infrastructure and have a relatively long daily commute, and poor charging access at the worksite, an EV is just a bad choice. If there is good charging at work, and the commute is short enough, then an apartment can work but it is still inconvenient to have an EV if you can't charge it while sleeping.

I think eventually more and more apartment owners are going to start using charging infrastructure as a marketing tool so perhaps it will get better over time.
> If you haven't had the opportunity to work on large-scale projects...

open source projects/companies that pay contributors are oftentimes larger-scale

> Balancing such efforts with a full-time job can be challenging, as these undertakings can consume most, if not all, of your free time...

i'm asking whether some compensation could make contributing to open source less of a luxury for a lot of people (those with jobs but also those in the jobs market) and more of an accessible opportunity to publicly showcase your "true capabilities or the quality of your work"
Is it better than sliced bread, no. But it does some things better than other systems.

First, it feels small enough that I understand what’s going on while still providing valuable services out of the box - a web server, load balancer/proxy, etc.

But more importantly the pieces all play together to make a unified system: the load balancer can do layer 3 by interacting with the system firewall, httpd works with the built in ACME client for TLS. All those pieces benefit from being part of the system as a whole, by having very consistent tooling and support - things are named very consistently and share flags across the system, and are backed by very high quality manpages.

Simply put it’s not perfect, nor revolutionary, but it gets a lot of things right.
Keep in mind these “calculations” are based on biased data to help support the overall goals set forth by the leaders of the company.
Just ignore such instruction and wait to see what happens. That's what I did and I am still employed. But I don't really care.
In case you haven't heard, a very popular and effective way to foil spambots has been the inclusion of a hidden FORM field, which the user won't see and won't fill out. The bot dutifully fills out the field, sends an HTTP POST, and is busted for looking at the HTML source. Have a nice day.
Labor can shut everything down, working collectively. And it seems like they're trying. I wouldn't count them out.
Having worked in both Canada and USA, I feel it's the same in US "what you are able to do?" and Canada “what are your credentials/studies”.
Looks promising. Will give it a try.
It is mentioned in the article, but I appreciate the context.
None of these problems are inherent to chatbots, nor are any of them unique to them. I'm not even convinced that any of these would be exacerbated by a chatbot—a company that's going to treat its users poorly will do so regardless of the type of agent they employ. And on the flip side, a company that cares about its users could absolutely design a chatbot that solves these problems and legitimately saves everyone time.

I think the attitudes that we have right now towards chatbots are shaped by the companies that don't give a shit—the tech really wasn't ready yet, so only the worst companies tried to force you to use a chatbot. We're on the verge of that changing, and soon a chatbot will be able to provide a better customer support experience than the average overworked call center employee. When that happens, I expect to see companies that care about their customers begin to make the switch, and we'll start interacting with implementations that really work.
... I'm having difficulty believing this is serious. I mean, it might be, because it's him; he's not, y'know, very good at this, but abandoning such a valuable brand seems almost unthinkable. Like, at that point, what is _left_, other than a slowly crumbling social graph? Even Facebook never actually dared abandon Facebook as the brand for their main product.
> It's a physical consequence of our unequal society that then gets used as if it's a biological reason for the perpetuation of the very inequality that produced it.

Nicely put!
Imagine having a logo that is recognized worldwide, that appears on tons of websites and ads, and then decide "nah, I'll just throw that away".
I'll believe it when it's been in the field for years. EVs have been a major let down, lot's of hype.
Congrats! I hope everyone can see he actually found a job due to getting out and meeting people (in this case, he met a CEO while they were both cycling), who then became interested in his work due to the relationship he fostered.
No employer can force you to do anything. Saying No or just ignoring the demand is always an option.
There's room for a lot of these to grow and solve different problems. As I see the design space for those 2:

I like graph-tool for the variety of algs and CPU performance, focus on modeling, and will refer people to it when they outgrow nx/ix. However, it is (currently) not as approachable as others for example, which matters for social scientists who aren't devs, and for perf, we like cuGraph because both GPU/multi-GPU for the alg subset it does do, which is often 'enough'. Also, graph tool's licensing is not allowed by many of our users, while cugraph and easygraph's are. Generally, these libraries have viz but more just to check the box, and integrations to more dedicated tools improve that story.

These libraries take a lot of work, and both are impressive here. Something I look for is sustainability - will it outlive the life of a grad student or postdoc primary contributor getting their next job, or a professor's interests naturally shifting, or a startup if their next funding round doesn't happen / evilCorp acquihires them. This is extra poignant with redisgraph shutting down. A good tell is if it has been around X years, good chance it'll be around X/2 more, something like that. Very few at that level in the graph world!
So did McKinsey ;)
It’s either get off fossil fuels or die.
I'm just gonna link a few German articles. They seem to have reestablished their phone hotline by now, but I don't think they have changed their "move fast and break things" attitute.

Walled gardens, corporate surveillance and advertisement were sort of the idea. If you didn't have web stack complexity, you wouldn't have an environment to sell your latest tech into, which is the purpose of the web: to have a place entrepreneurs can demo technology so their investors can make a plausible argument to the next round of greater fools they're trying to sell their companies to.
Yeah there's gonna be a whole lot of "comparative advantage" coming down the pipe, but the winners will become fewer and fewer by the day.
I used to work with this kind of developer. He was bounds and leaps faster than all the other developers in the team.

The code he produced was absolutely and completely unmaintainable. The joke was that this guy could program C in any language. His code kindof-sort-of worked, but only he understood it and when anyone else had to take over his stuff, the first thing they had to do was rewriting the part from scratch. Of course there were no tests, so when the new person broke something in their attempt to try to work with their code they were scolded. The person in question was the CTO of the company, by the way.

He was 3x alright, but at the expense of everyone else on the team. I was very glad to see him go.
Just like the word searches we used to do as kids.
> As a gay man, if I have 2 similar job offers, one with a company that shows they are accepting and dont accept prejudice, and another that says nothing. Which one do you think I’ll choose?

Are you implying that companies that don't beat the pride war drum publicly are prejudiced against you? Do you extend this to other people as well? I've never been to a pride march, I post nothing about supporting this or that movement, yet I don't have prejudice against gay people. They live their lives. I live mine.

This seems like more manufactured victimhood than anything else. Given that companies are driven by profit, and companies find doing this kind of thing profitable, do you think the ones that are "out in the open" are telling the truth? How much kow-towing does a company have to do before you believe them?

> Not all of us work for the bottom line. I recognise I am working for a business, but Id much prefer to think of my job as creating something, making things easier for people rather than just making money as a mission, that sounds like a miserable way to live.

Making money is the mission. The reason a company can afford these supposed "diversity efforts" that you use to judge good from bad are because they are making money. You may be different. I, and many people like me, want to go to work and go home with the least amount of song and dance possible. I don't want to have to sit through another layer of bureaucracy, another layer of song-and-dance, just to have a job. It feels so very forced. I have no evidence it's drives out bad actors either. All it does it give people another job risk where if you don't tow the line perfectly, sing the right song, or march with everyone else you will get fired (canceled). In fact, this sounds like the exact opposite of diversity to me.
I haven't had to sign for a while now, but when that was more common, I just assumed it was for your own ease of verification, since you could see the signature alongside the transaction online/in-app and so if you see a transaction you don't remember, you can just check the signature to see if it's like what you typically do.
Doesn't sound like forgery. Whether it will hold up in court is iffy. If you are not a lawyer I would be more hesitant to state your legal opinions as fact.

>Toyota somehow develop this magical battery for an EV but forgot to develop an EV.

The Prius in 1997 doesn't count? Sure it was a Hybrid mainly because of no charging network. A decade before Tesla. And selling ever since.

They could have a dozen models in development ready to release who knows. It's a huge company.
>who drives 1200km in day anyway?

Lot's of people all the time? Perhaps you live in a small country or have all your important people quite close to you if these numbers don't seem reasonable. I must make 1-2 road trips like this a year to attend family events, weddings, funerals, etc. It's not fun to drive 12 hours straight, but it's doable, especially with 2 drivers.
I am not sure my weak heart can take this level of excitement.

Equating workers sharing ownership of a business and oppressive communist governments that sent people to gulags is a bit ridiculous. “Your business must be owned by a single rich person or a bunch of shareholders who aren’t workers themselves, and if it’s not then you support starvation prisons”…? I’m not even talking about democratic socialism, I was just talking about worker co ops (although if you think places like Scandinavia are as bad as Soviet Russia then you should probably study both more)

There are different types of flash storage:

* SLC - 1 bit per electrical cell
* MLC - 2 bits per cell
* TLC - 3 bits per cell
* QLC - 4 bits per cell

You need SLC cards if you really want something to be long-lasting. You can find some at specialty places like Digikey, or labeled as "Industrial" in normal channels (i.e. Amazon sells both Kingston and Samsung 8GB industrial cards).

They are both smaller capacity and more expensive, though.

Also, if you're using a stock distribution not intended for a Pi, you probably have quite a lot of logs/etc churning, which can be cleaned up. If you aren't doing much with the Pi except a few common services, check out DietPi.
I’m hopeful that there will be enough economic incentive to tip the balance. But nobody knows right now.
this is so true... brilliantly put.

However, even after the mental barrier is removed - Majority of us do not have the motivation to actualize our visions even after we know and believe that they are feasible.

I suspect that it takes a special human emotional/energy makeup to overcome enormous obstacles in pursuit of actualizing a vision. Thats what makes entrepreneurs/hustlers special.
Don't live in Phoenix. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that it's a desert, there's no water, and global warming, all lead to an endgame you don't want to be near. I figured that out 25 years ago.
Ah thank you. My asterisks certainly have equal aspect ratio though.
Don't offices have much more floor height than apartments? So just add stuff in the ceiling or raise the floor and run stuff under there.
It is more likely to be contracted.
Depending on the context of course - retire from a career to pursue one's passions.

Retire as a software engineer, pursue business ideas. Tinker. Maybe build wood cabinets and chairs.

Picture someone that just spent the last 30 years writing C, C++, Java (whatever) code, and maybe doing various lower level management roles. The age of AI has broken into an open gallup; said person is 55-65 years old, maybe now is a good time to have fun with their capabilities instead. So now they're learning Python instead of punching a 9-5 time clock, messing with LLMs or Stable Diffusion extensions. You get the idea.

We have hit an inflection point the scale of the World Wide Web circa the mid 1990s. There's a lot to do. Vast new territory to explore and it's moving fast. It feels a lot like the mid 1990s did in terms of speed. It feels like "internet time" has returned. It's damn exciting again.

For younger people here that are completely unfamiliar with the phrase "internet time." Vaguely the idea or sense of experience that development online circa the 1990s was moving abnormally fast compared to everything else (this is from 2001, when people still understood the original context of the phrase):

Cato the Elder, writing about 2200 years ago, begins his recipe for making bread like this:

"Manus mortariumque bene lavato"

which means

"Wash well your hands and the bowl in which you will knead the dough!"

so the ancient Romans were well aware about the benefits of washing the hands, at least when preparing food.
>The wiki does agree that they were pretty corrupt, but also makes point that Ephor's came from the general population.

No - they came from the citizen population, which in Sparta's case was a tiny percentage of the entire population, with most of the rest being helots, who were basically especially badly treated slaves.
The first one just looks like a tautology but the latter might be helpful, even if it is a bit trivial if you think about it.
Everything exists on a gradient. Your goals are valid and methodology probably as well if you meet them.

Do you discuss the minutiae of what you guys can eat for lunch? Probably overdoing it.

Do you discuss the minutiae of a technical piece of equipment or software that is mission critical? Probably the right kind of effort to be as precise as possible.
