It's races to the bottom all the way down.
You are overthinking it.

You put your self at risk when there is a major war for being anti-war since unbalanced people will label you as an enemy.

You know the "support our troops" mantra that kept the worthless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan going long after they had been lost.
I see it as a fairness and reasonableness issue. It’s unfair and unreasonable that the ones polluting the space with noise are the ones that get to enjoy the freedom to use the space without restrictions, while the victims of the noise are the ones that suffer the restriction of the full use of the same space. The same with smoking, which fortunately has been recognised to some extent in recent years.
Id say that its the wrong way to think about it.

This is an intriguing idea. I wonder if the paradigm has a name or a following?
Confidence to protect US mainland from invasion? Confidence to protect American interests in the Middle East? Confidence to deter Russian and Chinese aggression? Confidence to protect international shipping routes? Confidence not to start a coup? Confidence to start a coup if it's necessary for moral reasons? Confidence to employ lots of Americans? Confidence to practice inclusivity and not have any major scandals about mistreatment of recruits? Confidence to spend budget wisely?

WTF is confidence in the US Military supposed to mean, and how is it a useful metric?
It's not for "playing with", and they're not virtual either, it's for testing on real devices. The 2FA helps to prevent someone making a billion accounts to abuse the credit system
So why did SV companies fire a lot of employees recently, if the severance and WARN act outweigh the positive impact on the share prices?
And how many respondants really are making the statement that the modern US military isnt the same as it was when they were part of it? Most who join the US military only do so for a few years. Cange happens. They then percieve the current state as untrustworthy as it no longer mirrors memories formed during their brief exposure years ago.
Dart is actually hands down one of the most productive languages out there right now in terms of ergonomics. It’s still a tiny language ecosystem at the moment but there are already a lot of happy paths that will get you to an incredibly high level of quality with very little work.
Also known as Last Tuesdayism, where the universe happened last Tuesday. I and other intellectuals consider this ridiculous. It was in fact last Thursday.
But the fact it was basically a recycling of several racist "those filthy foreigners are responsible for disease" tropes along with "scheming orientals" tropes.
I.e. C# and many other languages transform a function with the yield statement into a state machine implementing the iteration protocol.

This proposal does the opposite. It transforms the loop body into a closure passed into the iterator.
No system is flawless. As the article points, you can at least control and capture the biggest dishonest players.
The podcast you’re showing as the demo of your product’s capabilities (HN Recap) has AI-generated content. That’s not a good choice marketing-wise.
Yes. I have lived in China for about five years, and while I myself am not yet fluent, I have met several foreigners who started learning Chinese in their twenties and who are completely fluent and can speak like native speakers. I have almost met Chinese people who have never lived abroad, started learning English in their teens, and who speak English as fluently as a native. I think it's all about the immersion and the willingness to keep up with it.
I have used tRPC for two ~50k loc web applications and love it. The DX is incredible. But I feel like tRPC had its hype time some time ago, so RSC’s hype quickly caught up. These days everyone speaks about whether to use or not to use RSC while there is such a great stable solution like tRPC out there. I am not against RSC, but there is way too much discussion about it. tRPC is a super pragmatic way to create applications with these days!

Edit: RSC = React Server Components - which come with their own read/write data philosophy.
> Hiring managers and recruiter match buzzwords in your CV

So? You put those buzzwords in your CV. What’s difficult about that? You feel like being dishonest? If so, again, just explain in the next stage of the interview (with real engineers) that you do have real world experience in similar but not exactly the same technologies listed in your CV. You just did so to pass through HR. Not a big deal (as long as you’re confident and believe you can learn technologies easily)
Existential threats to humanity are soaring this year
I used to work at a giant bank.

The reason they might be blocked by big banks is due to deep packet inspection. How that works is that the bank intercepts certificates on TLS socket establishment for normal web traffic so that the bank proxy becomes a formal "main in the middle". They do this to provide deep packet inspection on all encrypted traffic that goes out and comes in. That level of packet inspection is more challenging with something like RPC/WebSockets because its a binary stream, where HTTP just uses plain text for its header data.

I can remember using Reddit, when I still used Reddit, when starting at the bank and I remember Reddit making heavy use of WebSockets that worked just fine from within the bank even though I was behind the bank's proxy. This was more than 6 years ago, but I believe the WebSocket traffic at that mega bank was just relayed through proxy just like the HTTP traffic and I also want to say Reddit served the WebSocket traffic different from the HTTP traffic, but I cannot remember for sure.
I think framing as deep work vs collaborative is a bit too assertive. It’s people who prefer working solo versus working socially, and there are different types of work that naturally lend themselves to one personality or the other, but the preference is “lower level” than that.

For example, brainstorming we pretty much know to be ~ineffective at this point, but people who love socializing continue to do it. Inversely there’s definitely work that’s ridiculously hard to accomplish solo/async, but people with a strong preference for solo work want to muscle their way through it solo anyway.

Solo workers are willing to give up some collaboration and social workers are willing to give up some focus.
>Private investment — mostly from venture capital firms — in Israeli startups in the first six months of 2023 stood at $3.9 billion, the lowest since 2018, according to SNC.

$3.9 billion in venture capital investments during the first six months of 2023 is completely obscene for a country the size of Israel.

I can only dream about Danish startups pulling that kind of money.
> They refuse to believe their paid offers are just not good enough

This is the most important sentence, as I see it.
As a graduate of WVU during the Gee era we all saw this coming he is a terrible president, only known for his bow ties. I notice that they eliminate majors and cut faculty but no word on the admin staff they’ve been bloating for years. Shame on Gee and WVU.

I had no idea z-lib moved to a freemium model, last time I looked it was free. Did the US legal actions put them in a dire need for money?

Anyway, I've found https://annas-archive.org/ (which, btw, charges for links to faster downloads) now so there's no reason for me to be browsing libgen or z-lib anymore.
> But no incentive is as good as a fat chunk of equity + the power to influence its value.

Meanwhile your sales team colleagues get their incentives paid out right away, in the very next quarter, and instead of equity lottery tickets it’s just cash.

I’d like to see engineering get some of the types of cash incentives that sales teams get. Perhaps the only reason they don’t is because it’s too hard to come up with metrics to base commission on. Instead, they rely on equity awards even though the value of the company is often quite detached from the quality of the software.

The fun of a startup is nice but it’s probably not worth it if you’re getting below-market compensation, crappy healthcare, long hours, and the IOU of an equity stake that’s probably crafted by financiers to screw over regular employees.
The difference being that other parliamentary systems have many more checks and balances, whereas Israel only has just one: the supreme court. Removing or "limiting" it is akin to making Israel a de facto dictatorship.

> Cool story, but nobody wants 70GB of VRAM except the tiniest portion of ultra enthusiasts

I already said that may not be the case for very long. Read the entire comment next time.

Nobody but the "tiniest portion of ultra enthusiasts" ever needed more than 640K RAM but here we are.

>Running LLMs and various models locally will not require 70GB of RAM.

It will not require 70GB, it will require far more. Jevons paradox, increased efficiency opens more doors. Almost all AI models are single modal and as small as they will ever be, we have not even trained them on more than text yet and text is microscopic. CommonCrawl? How about training on the entire YouTube media repository. Training on every pixel and audio sample owned by Disney. Training on the 6-axis motion data of every accelerometer with a network MAC.

Stop defending genital mutation on children. I usually agree with the left more than the right but when it comes to this gender affirming care on children it’s sickening.
Did it occur to you that there are people who were hired during the pandemic, who had full virtual onboarding experience? How did they survive?

Actually I myself joined my current company after March 2020. I can't imagine a 5-day, in-person experience would be any more effective or productive. If anything, I was able to completely pay no attention the mandatory training of "corporate value" nonsense -- it felt great to be "in" the meeting but spend the time doing actual development or doing some household chores.
Is there something like this but for JavaScript?
Is there some trick to doing validation of request data using this process? That's a valuable part of using something like tRPC, JSON Schema + type generation, zod, etc.
> A Virgin Atlantic Airways Boeing 787-9, registration G-VBOW performing flight VS-206 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Hong Kong (China) with 235 passengers and 14 crew, was on an ILS approach to runway 25R at about 15:49L (07:49Z) with the autopilot engaged when veered to the right off the localizer and descended below minimum safe sector altitude. The crew disconnected the autoflight system, assumed manual control of the aircraft, re-established the aircraft on the localizer about 12nm before the runway threshold and landed safely.

Note that “minimum safe altitude” here is being in the glidepath where you can make the runway with total engine loss - not fifty feet above the ground heading into a building. You can tell because they regained the localizer 12 nautical miles out.

Still a quite bad bug that shouldn’t exist, but it sounds worse than it is.
Fair. I think as a non-American I’m just already used to re-qualifying most of what people say on here when they speak for “all” of us.
Is there an equivalent for Node? I'm glad I haven't needed it since, but I couldn't find anything nearly so seamless when I last looked.
One of the great (if unfortunate) advances in human society was the discovery that “personal experience” is a very unreliable way to learn about the world.
I see this argument all the time, but I've onboarded like a dozen new hires and juniors since going fully remote in 2020. It's fine. The tools and processes are different, but fundamentally it's still just about communicating and working together. You genuinely do not have to be in the same physical room to do that.

That said, the problem I do see is that the folks hired into a fully remote environment have a significantly lower "attachment" to the company. Working together in an office fosters a sense of belonging to the group (over time) in a way that remote work cannot. This is the thing that isn't getting attention, IMO - but maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe we were all overly attached to our jobs anyway :)
I'm guessing React Server Components which is apple to oranges with tRPC.
Believe it or not, the First Law of Thermodynamics seems to apply here!
I agree with your point about taking the bike (bicycle) on a train and whatnot.

My point was about motorbikes. Which, as you say, have all the inconveniences of a full-blown motorbike, without the nice things, and the smaller ones aren't materially better than a souped-up e-bike.
> religion/philosophy is purely subjective, merely a word game, or not something "serious" people study

Innit, though? The people who whine about 'scientism' tend to be selling a religious or political ideology. They reject the need to measure things because they don't want their shit tested.
It's the other way around, you can hack it and get longer battery life. But that is not an option because phone manufacturers prefer that their non-user-replacable batteries get worn out.
For what it’s worth I have never heard of RSC and it’s not googleable. Have a link?

There are two parts of "confidence" one of which matters and one does not.

Am I confident that I can leave my brother-in-law with my bag of diamonds / daughters life / keys to my ferrari ?

Hell yes.

Am I confident I can get my brother in law to organise a pissup in a brewery. Not so much. But that is a teachable skill.

And the same goes for armies. Am I confident that I can trust the Marine corps / Swedish tank corps / British Navy with the military equivalent of my daughters life.

Hell yes. Because this is about something called honour, duty or service. It's hard to nail down, it takes generations to build and maintain.

Can I trust that the Russian army will not rape the citizens of Bakhmut ? unfortunately not. And the difference there is not about number of rounds fired or guns used. It's the twisted politics of a whole nation that is exposed at the point of battle.

The important metric is not want your army is capable of, it's what it will never do.
Vulkan is being worked on because someone with the relevant skills felt like working on that. Doesn't necessarily take away time from other parts of the project.
This form should be the default for any async comms.

Expressing the core statement up front allows proceeding content to serve as an optional framing, if required. If the recipient already has context they can skip the cruft.

This structure is mirrored in larger org settings that use memo's. It's not a new idea, but definitely a well proven and effective one.
Can you elaborate on your point about languages other than English?

Honestly I couldn’t be bothered, this topic has been covered already a few times this week.

I didn't mean to criticize the kid, although I can see how it came out as such.

I'm criticizing the dads ability to showcase a great example of the "right information in the right detail without going into unnecessary explanations."

And I think a big part of the authors choice of example is exactly because it is "tantalizing" - it piques your curiosity because there isn't enough information to make sense of the situation.

Negative. Offices with doors are nice. But the reason people don't want to go into an office is the commute. You're asking people to just erase 30-120 minutes of their day (or worse, spend that time in a stressful uncomfortable environment), 5 days a week, in perpetuity.
They're also cancelling Parks and Recreation? :(
So what, then pull a NYC AG on them and investigate for fraudulent devaluing.

I had books at school teaching sexual education but nothing like the explicit pornographic stuff they have now. Nothing teaching anal sex or male/male or female/female. Nothing trying teaching kids to hide things from their parents.

Some of the books today are absolutely disgusting. The old books are tame.
This argues in favor of organizations that hold close to their core business and allow for the additional cost of outsourcing non-core functions.

> Hey, science community, look: I did an experiment and it disproves X, so everything you build on top of X is flawed too. Start from scratch, please!

This happened several times, for example when Einstein was proven right about the Theory of Relativity, showing that Newton's Laws of Motion were not precisely correct. The physics community eventually found out that Newton's Laws were a really good approximation of the better theory under conditions we experience on Earth (if you plug numbers at human scale to the Theory of Relativity, the equations actually approximate really closely to Newton's Equations which is truly remarkable - you can do it yourself as the Maths are not too complicated at all - I did this in Physics 101, first year undergrad Major in Physics), so they were not just dismissed, but continue to be used to this day as they are extremely successful in predicting the movement of bodies at human scale.

Your comparison with Michelson-Morley VS LIGO shows you don't really comprehend what you're saying, as all LIGO did was show that Gravitational waves can distort space-time to an extremely small degree (compared to astronomical measurements), which does not prove at all that light speed is not constant in all directions - and it boggles my mind why you think it does! You could make the same incorrect argument by mentioning how light speed is not the same in different materials?? The fact that space-time is distorted at places (including near large bodies as well - even ignoring gravitational waves) just shows that light can have different speeds when you consider such distortions - it feels stupid having to even say this out loud - but no, that doesn't prove light speed is not constant in a vacuum that is free of such space-time distortions!
You can design to be transport agnostic. Then add various transport types: sockets, http, in memory (for testing)…
I bought a moto last year, and looked a little at Zero and at Sondors, but ended up just getting a small-displacement conventional bike (Royal Enfield Classic 350). It was cheap, gets excellent mileage (75 MPG), and has sufficient power for urban surface-street usage (it tops out at like 65, but honestly it's happier below 50).

I strongly recommend this path, though parts availability with RE mean I probably suggest you look more at other low-displacement bikes, like the Honda Rebel, and let RE figure out its North American supply chain issues for a while.
OK, looks great but as a manager and founder of a company that is looking into sponsoring OSS, how does this make me more money?
Many people don't realize how hard it used to be to communicate just a few decades ago, especially across countries. Phone rates were ridiculously high (dollars per minute at times) and there was no email/IM.

When my dad went to Germany for work in the 80s, my family used the phone for urgent matters and paper letters for "long reads". Letters would take a couple of weeks to get there from South America, and a couple more weeks to come back with the answer, leading to a 4-6 week roundtrip.

I don't understand what point you're trying to make with such a ridiculously broad statement? "The landscape" encompasses a big area. It is not possible to simply order every arbitrary road or building in the country that would be impacted by a return to historic ecology moved. We struggle right now to even get people moved out of or adapt to known existing flood plains, even after they've been flooded! If we'd built with that in mind from the start that would be ideal but obviously that's, well, water over (or under) the dam now.

The point of options like beaver deceivers is aid in coexistence, and to deploy them with precision in places where it's really infeasible to adapt (at least for now) to a returning beaver presence. That way water level can be managed without (repeatedly) killing them, particularly as the beaver population overall away from denser human areas is allowed to return towards a natural level. And even when used they're not binary, they can allow some controlled pond formation, even if not quite as big as the beavers would like. That still leaves the beavers in some cases able to live there for a time, or else move on upstream to better areas. Sure it's a compromise solution, but given the long standing default has been to shoot/trap/poison them it's a valuable tool towards getting things back on track.
That would be an incredibly shortsighted legal strategy given the trial hasn’t begun.

Far more likely is he feels a compulsive need to “clear the air” and has zero clue that it’s extremely damaging to his legal defense.
This is what the author suggests towards the end of the piece, and points out some issues with it.
If you listen to political rhetoric from the ruling party and the far right coalition parties, anyone who doesn't agree with them, their crazy ideology or sing high praises to the supreme leader, is a traitor. This has been the case for a decade now, getting worse and worse. How long before they pass "anti-traitor" laws, making political dissent illegal? With the supreme court unable to protect citizen rights, there is literally nothing to stop such laws.

But judging from some comments here, that's a "liberal agenda".
Took me a while to parse that headline. I was trying to figure out what "land-publishing" was.

I realise that most typographic style guides recommend not putting spaces around em-dashes which separate clauses in a sentence, but I always have trouble distinguishing between em-dashes and hyphens in most fonts. As a result, I often mistake non-spaced em-dashed clauses with hyphenated words, leading to confusion.

I note that the original article does not use the word "land" anywhere at all; not in the title, nor the body. The un-editorialised headline "Publish Everything (Pretty Much)" is (IMO) much clearer.
