> All those bullshit hacks are a maintenance and debugging burden for someone

That’s why that someone is getting paid -it’s their job.

If you want software to power important things in society, like transport and energy, you need to have a certain level of responsibility for reliability.

As this post demonstrates, Right now we have immature children who are used to breaking things for the sake of a new fad, in charge of critical systems.
America has more developed systems so there’s less need for innovation. If you think the US is bad Japan still uses fax machines in common usage
I had never before heard that description of 'traditional conservative ethics'. I thought free market conservatives think individual participants will make their own choices and increase the goods and services available, thus benefitting humanity.
Apparently my source for MS was older (and I mistyped it anyways when calculating, but wouldn't have changed it much compared to using the 2022/2023 numbers). Updating to the 2022 numbers brings it to $47k and 2023 brings it to $48.7k.

So you were half-right, congrats.
Yeah confluence and jira both need to go away, both of them make it very hard to find information and feel like such a burden to use.
isnt there already a podcast called Office Hours with Tim Heidecker
This thought crossed my mind. But wouldn't there be chatter about this sort of thing within the startup community, as bootstrapped businesses get snapped up? There are podcasts like Built To Sell, which tell the stories of small companies that have been sold. I've noticed that many of them are service businesses, and there aren't as many SaaS companies as I would have expected. Presumably the incentive to keep quiet about your lucrative niche would end after you've sold the business?

I suppose that wasn’t clear. My mistake. I use C/C++ for micro controller code every day, because Rust doesn’t support my microcontroller, doesn’t have a real RTOS, and I’m making real hardware. Something that needs to run in the field for 10+ years and I can’t get out there and ensure it’s updated, and my company doesn’t want to invest millions of dollars on beta testing embedded rust on. So embedded is out for now but I’m looking forward to when it’s supported fully and out of beta. Most embedded controllers come with some RTOS and libraries they support, written in C.

For tooling, I can context switch out of C++ which does have boost, into [rust, go, python… etc] and deal with that switch, or just be lazy and write it in C++. I’ve tried to write three tools in Rust so far, and the pain of not having a good stdlib, of essentially searching the internet for a blog post that solves my issue then finding the blog post was written by one dev 4 years ago to pump up their library that was written 4 years ago and then never supported after that… it’s a bit exhausting.

Again, before ya’ll attack. This is from the perspective of a willing, excited customer. I want to use Rust at work and advocate for it. Just saying, it’s not easy in the state it’s in.
Really? What are the signs of this coming?

While racism is definitely a thing today, it seem to be dying. Slowly, but the trend is certain: modern society is way less racist than it was, say, a century ago (or worse, a few centuries ago). People stop caring about ethnic origins. The care about cultures and nationalities those days (notice how even the meaning of "racism" had shifted to account for this), and those are rapidly becoming less and less correlated with genetics.

While people won't stop being xenophobic (unless, idk, some miracle or catastrophe happens), in the modern world, when it comes to identity, genes are rapidly losing battle to memes.
Your analogy doesn’t make any sense. How exactly is the preference of the one individual dominant? Please do describe in detail.

People love to hate on the rich but forget that simply having money isn’t the actual problem. The problem are institutions that are easily influenced by money.

Or to put it simply, how is your wealth (and if youre on here you are wealthy by global standards) negatively affecting the global poor?
The Systemd project largely follows the "Unix philosophy" anyway. Lots of sub-tools, each doing one thing well. It's a bit like complaining that the GNU coreutils don't follow the "Unix philosophy".
The article bringing up that scenario and immediately dismissing it actually convinced me to change my opinion to the opposite of the article's thesis. I generally haven't seen the need for short session expirations in the past (when I've thought about it, which isn't often), but I hadn't thought about the shared-computer scenario before. Keeping that in mind, and knowing that it can't be handwaved away (as you point out), short sessions make more sense to me now.
Just standard unix tooling, what else do you need? It's as powerful a set of text manipulation tools as you could wish for.
I guess we should try and come up with a solution that addresses that then
When I'm actually writing code and hashing out a solution over the course of a single hour in my job, I'm not going to commit the wrong turns.

What you're really asking for is a candidate to spend extra time inventing a convincing git history.

I really think the only way this actually works is if the problem is on a page which you can only view after you start a timer or something.

Or do it on site and watch them.

This is all high pressure but if you really want to time box, there can't be a way around it.
Well, let's see.

UT Austin's degree requirements are https://www.cs.utexas.edu/sites/default/files/images/BS%20Ch... and course descriptions are https://catalog.utexas.edu/general-information/coursesatoz/c...

That's about 16 required classes including Linear Alg., Statistics, A Child's First Programming Class, Data Structures, Discrete Math, Algorithms, Architecture, Operating Systems, plus another 8 of your own favorite upper division electives (CS 340 and above).#,##

Then there's the question of what you mean by "studying". Just reading the books isn't really going to work. That's 50 semester hours---weekly class wall-clock time---and the ol' rule of thumb was 3 hours studying per hour of class time###, for 15 weeks or 3000 hours. But you might be able to do it in less.

So, it's doable, certainly.

A formal degree program has two advantages:

1. Having somebody to advise you on what's important and what's not. Not all of the chapters of SICP are equally meaningful, and having someone who already knows this shit and can say, "pay attention to this chapter, it's important," or "skip those exercises, they're not worth it," or even "forget that section, it's outdated; here's a paper" is quite useful.

2. Feedback. Even if you have the answers to the exercises, having someone to look at your crappy program or broken proof#### and tell you "you are missing this, try that instead" will speed up understanding considerably.

And that's aside from answering questions and making a second pass through some material when you're sitting there staring like you've been hit with a captive bolt gun. It's significantly more efficient to get to understanding than working on it yourself.

And then there's the requirements for things that you would not, yourself, choose: Spanish? !@$&%){ Calculus? Those damn writing requirements? Ethics and leadership? You touch on this yourself: many of the self-taught people I've seen have been depth heavy with little breadth.

Which brings me to another point. Those computer people who built the internet typically already had degrees in physics, math, EE, or something else. And, they also tend to have that depth to breadth problem. (Then there was the afternoon I spent explaining to a former Aerospace Engineer (and quite good programmer) why string = string + character was so slow. And why it wasn't slow on that other implementation.)

# This has actually been dumbed down since I went through in 1986-1990; it used to also include a full class on formal logic, automata theory, and basic electronics. So, hmph. But then I didn't take physics, chemistry, or biology, so yay.

## Stay away from CS 340. It sounds like fun, but it seems to be taught by Warren Hunt...

I'm sympathetic. I'm partway into an embedded project on an stm32 / m0 for which there _is_ good rust support through Embassy and it's utterly magical. And at the same time, trying to do something for which there isn't a good no-std crate is, er, anti-magical to the point of forcing me to change the design. The ecosystem isn't as comprehensive yet.

But when it works, wow. This has been the most fun embedded project I've ever done with the least debugging.

Show HN: AI that summarize news and analyze potential stock impact
Hi Everyone,

I was frustrated with the terrible news reading experience (Paywall, advertisements) so I created a free tool that summarizes the latest news articles and analyzes the potential stock impacts.

This experiment has saved me so much time to help me understand what might be more important than others.

It's completely free, no ad whatsoever. However, AI is a blackbox so take the rating (positive, negative, long-term, and short-term impact) with a grain of salt. It may have picked up some nuances within the article to give a rating and you might not agree with it.

Please let me know if you have any feedback!

It is more typical of a self taught developer to complain about fizzbuzz, rather than talk about leetcode.

I'd take a solid cash cow producing producing value for customers at an A-round size over growing it to D-round size any day. Maybe because I've just been through enough of this crap to know that yes, you want to make money with your startup, but there are some things no amount of money can compensate you for...

And a company spinning off a fair amount of cash can be grown surprisingly rapidly organically, though it does take several changes in how the company is run as it hits inflection points (there are usually several!) due to growth (e.g. people, processes, and effective business/marketing/sales oversight become more important to grow beyond $6-10M/yr...)
For the past several thousand years, people have generally been able to get away with being an asshole (both criminal and less than criminal) as long as they are very productive in some other way. Very recently, some people have stopped getting away with this. It's very very good to hold people accountable.

I also think that it is bad that there is no path to rehabilitation. Well, there is no single path to rehabilitation, because the world contains many people with a variety of points of view.

But remember that it is bad to harass and assault people. That should not be ignored. The linked post does not seem to cover that very much, or to show any action that the person has taken that would make them more welcome in a professional setting.

> History has many examples of the negative impacts of excommunicating individuals according to questionable standards that are analogous to what happened to Geoff Marcy. Over the past century we have seen numerous such examples across the political spectrum, in the name of moral virtue.

I must disagree in the strongest terms to this section. This does not acknowledge any harms or any balance of responsibility on the part of Marcy.

Also, the title is just plain wrong. It is not guilt by association, it is disgust at including a person who has caused harm. Every objection listed from the scientific community was because Marcy was directly attached, either to a paper, a group, or a meeting.

If you block a bot (or a troll, etc), they can't reply to you publicly. If you can only ignore them, the trolls can do all kinds of things behind your back that may influence people in your circle, and bias them against you, the victim, but you don't even see it happen because of the ignore...

Blocking means something far more substantial than merely ignoring. These features do not replace each other.

The U74 does exactly what it was designed to do -- be a power-sipping dual-issue [1] in-order "efficiency" CPU, similar to Arm's A53 (2012), A55 (2017), A510 (2021), A520 (2023) series.

Yes, Arm is still designing and shipping brand-new core designs similar to the U74. They have much faster cores as well, but efficiency cores are important and run the show in phones and tablets most of the time.

This kind of core design is slower than wide Out-of-Order cores, but they use vastly less silicon area and achieve the most computing work per Joule (or per kW/h).

They are often paired with a faster but less efficient "Performance" core, but there are also many SBCs, phones, and tablets out there with just quad-A53s.

Those are the things Phoronix should have compared the VisionFive 2 to. The Raspberry Pi 3. Odroid C2 or C4. Rock64.

[1] Arm's A510 went to triple-issue, but the A520 reverted to dual.
ConcernedApe was willing to take the "risk" if it can be called such, of Harvest Moon on PC.

Clock for clock 6502 was faster than Z80. I think 6502 was also cheaper. Of course Z80 did run at higher clock speeds.

6502 got practically 254 (6510) or 256 "registers" with zero page addressing.

I was referring to the security officers who stand next to the machines everyday. They were forbidden from measuring anything related to occupational exposure. At one point the TSA found itself caught in so many lies about their supposed "testing" that they ran a very public PR-style limited study. Coincidentally, nowadays the backscatter scanners have been quietly replaced with millimeter wave scanners.

Anyway the point of my comment wasn't to re-litigate this. It's more that the original comment struck me as "can't the fox just guard the henhouse?"
I think that's a given that needn't be mentioned in the article. The author isn't stupid, and clearly wouldn't advocate for making outlandish or completely unreasonable requests even for the "askers" mindset.
I think there is no "car that hit it", it's the other way around - from the article:

A spokesperson for the San Francisco Fire Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the city emergency vehicle that struck the Cruise car.

So the emergency vehicle drove into the Cruise car. AFAIK even if the emergency vehicle has lights and sirens on, that doesn't necessarily give it the right to drive into other cars.

It seems clear that Marcy has been "condemned by a government-like body" (with or without due process -- I don't know). At any rate, this isn't simple freedom of association.

And according to the article, the blacklist doesn't only affect Marcy, it affects people who continue to work with him. I would say that's going too far.

Finally, I'm not sure what we gain by systematically excluding Marcy from astronomy research. Maybe a 5 year ban would be enough or perhaps we could go with a restorative justice approach here.
I've programmed both extensively, 6502 any time for me and 6809 over 6502 (if it has to be 8 bit).
This doesn't actually provide the benefit of application isolation though; if the software is malicious or vulnerable the as-user component could be as well. Remember that the biggest use case for application isolation is untrusted applications. Essentially any setuid-based approach to isolation requires a trusted developer using very good practices to remain secure, and that's why it's faded away.

Do these guilt-by-association injustices against the author of the article give you any pause when it comes to the same people passing judgement against this Geoff? I, like you, have no real knowledge of this case. It maybe be the case that Geoff is guilty of all of it, or was bullied into a false confession; I don't know. My gut says that he's a slimeball but I see injustice against the author of the article and I don't think the two are as independent as you suggest. If the mob is using guilt by association in one case,that gives me some doubt as to the mob's ability to fairly pass judgement in the related case.

As we currently expose the common models APIs and you can use certain transformations before you send them into the VectorDB. This way you just have to write one transformation for all the SAAS tools in a specific category.

As for the Gell-Mann amnesia effect, I remember exactly how/when I noticed it. In high school, there was a football game at our school which was technically a trade school with all the shop classes but also with good academics. Apparently there was this supposed rivalry between our school and another nearby trade school. The reports of the event described it like there was chaos and rampant vandalism and some violence. I was there the whole time. At most there was some left-over litter on the field from people having fun. That's when I learned the value of printed words in newspapers. I stopped reading them, except as entertainment or the classifieds.

Software can also have mistaken identity. Something that appears polished, is good software because not only did they make the thing do its function, but they even had time to do all this other stuff to make it look and feel great. The other possibility is that they did that work first, and the core function works just well enough that you can't readily tell it's completely broken inside if you go slightly off the beaten path.
