I have lived in Houston and the bay area. Comparing the two, I prefer Houston.

Like I said, pay is only ridiculous if you are in software. For the vast majority of other profession, what is ridiculous are the prices and taxes levied on them.

The matter with politics might be subjective. But imo, all the stunts and stupid things the "Christian theocracy" are doing do not affect the majority of people living in Texas. The kind of regulations and political stunts in CA on the other hand directly affect the middle class. Affirmative actions and the DEI overreach have more effects on an average person's life than bussing migrants around and banning children's books. One is an inconvenience. The other potentially involves job loss and large changes in life. That is my view.

Also, before you jump to conclusion. I am a minority in STEM and I consider myself agnostic. The most extreme examples of the "Christian theocracy" you mentioned only happen rarely and personally I was never affected by any of them even though I should by the type of demographic they are allegedly targeting. In SF though, I am directly affected by the taxes and fees to pay for homelessness and DEI issues while still worried on my way home about crimes and whether my car's windows were smashed or not. And homelessness is still an issue even in the suburb like Brisbane and Daly City.
Being read only and move semantics are orthogonal, you can read and write with or without moving.

So you shouldn't make assumptions whether something will be moved or not based on read only preconditions.
As weird as it may sound, I prefer the old fixed-form source with continuation characters and mandated 7-character indent. Like Python, it made for consistent code formatting across people and libraries.

When IBM employees play games with Generic Company the damage to me is marginal. There's - potentially - one less competitor when I go shopping.

When someone plays games with the Federal Government it hurts me directly. Doubly so because public organizations are notoriously unable for a raft of reasons to deal with abuse like that.

If the argument is that it's no less likely to happen I wouldn't disagree. If it's that I shouldn't be any more annoyed - I don't think so.
>And I don’t think the root cause was shoplifting fears.

It sure seems like a strange coincidence that all the downtown shutdowns happened around the same time that hundreds of thousands of people weren't forced into the area 5x a week by their job and the city lost over 50k in population, likely high earning workers who could now work remote elsewhere.

I've noticed this personally. In my early social media days circa 2012, going viral with a post of mine evoked genuine gratefulness for the post and appreciation for how much reach it got. Now, going viral is just a habit. 10,000 likes, 1000 shares on Facebook is my new normal. It's not 'special' like it used to be. I still appreciate my viral posts, just not to the extent of my early social media days (this is probably because fewer people were on it in 2012).

Such dark patterns, plus their involvement in crypto, their shoddy treatment of paying users, their security incidents... make it harder for me to feel good about OpenAI spearheading the introduction of (real) AI into the world today.
> I like to work and study, but doing either of it for more than 8hrs is not sustainable for me.

So, if you're working a proper full-time job, it means you're incapable of learning or working on anything other than your $dayjob for 5 days a week.

I think this is the root for the "productivity drive" - you spend yourself out at work so you can survive, and then... there's the rest of your life, that you would also like to live, not just experience. For many (myself included) it's kind of a trap. Productivity here literally means autonomy - the things I do or build or learn after work are literally... my life.
Why include the US state flags but not the flags of state-level administrative districts of other countries?

The guy is the best contemporary musician alive, period.

His influence on music keeps being felt 2 decades after his peak.

Spot on advice. I am not a morning person whatsoever, but investing time in myself during the mornings before work is how I gradually switched from accounting into software engineering. When the 2020 lockdown happened, I of course no longer had to commute to work. Rather than using the time gained for more sleep, I took advantage of the opportunity and doubled my morning learning time. Now that I’m a software engineer, I use that time to continue refining my craft because there’s plenty more for me to learn!
I'm not claiming to be an earplug engineer but I feel like it shouldn't be hard to ensure your product literally does the one thing it's supposed to do: block sound. Particularly if you know that your earplugs are going to be extensively used in very loud environments, i.e. combat.

While that article was written in 2015 about 2007, IMHO as a recent employer there and long term resident, the issues in China also stem from a lack of creativity in the educational environment, the political weaponisation of Confucianism, government-controlled media, a closed internet and the recent and unwaveringly vicious politically motivated disempowerment of high profile entrepreneurs. Nearly every single person a young person meets before the age of 25 is likely to scold them for original thinking, dreaming or playing: from their own parents to their state teachers, and all are co-witness to the public vilification, robbing or subsuming of successful innovators by the state. Meanwhile, the increasingly authoritarian government attempts to limit children's access to simple computer games. All are taught that the nail that sticks out is the one that is hammered down. In such an environment, who would dare to be different? Ideas are generally tolerated and evaluated on short term greed potential only.

More reflectively, it is such a shame to see the current situation because as Joseph Needham's classic series shows, the China region is perhaps historically the longest serving and arguably in many ways the most significant bastion of human inventive potential, period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_Civilisation_in_Ch...
OpenTelemetry is being pushed as a replacement for AWS X-Ray SDKs by AWS, but it's in such a broken state for Lambda right now. A 200-500% performance penalty for using it is insane[1][2].

Yes, it compels.... Just like heroin compels you to get more heroin. You can argue that human autonomy also has a role in it, but someone's thinking is not entirely autonomous, especially when addicted to something.

Social media is addictive, and to an extent forces you to share things about yourself (there are social consequences for not doing so. I personally don't give a fuck but not everyone chooses that decision)

Same as anywhere: write off theft and make bank off the rich people. The idea that SF is somehow unique is asinine. If i were to guess they want the public to foot the bill for cops to just shoot shoplifters.

Disclaimer: I'm the founder of an observability company (Highlight.io).

OpenTelemetry has been INCREDIBLY valuable to us. Not only has it made it super fast to build out SDKs for our customers, but the fact that its maintained actively gives us confidence that we're rolling out stable logic to customers' environments.

I agree with the author that OpenTelemetry has succeeded, and its pretty obvious from the fact that most major observability vendors support.

In short, to a developer it may not seem like its particularly valuable because a metrics/logs/traces API is quite simple whether or not you use OTEL. But the fact that this is an industry wide spec is where it becomes powerful.

Speaking of, are there tools to audit/explore firebase/firestore databases i.e. see if collections/documents are readable?

I imagine a web tool that could take the app id and other api values (that are publicly embedded in frontend apps), optionally support a session id (for those firestore apps that use a lightweight “only visible to logged in users” security rule) and accept names of collections (found in the js code) to explore?

What “Oppenheimer” Misses About the Decision to Drop the Bomb
The anecdote from the article about Darwin realizing, mid meal, that the bird the ship's cook had prepared for him actually had research value and running off to salvage parts from the kitchen is almost darkly hilarious - must have been crazy to be doing research at a time when someone serves up the thing you're looking for, not knowing anything about its significance or why you're there
> not all engineers can operate with SQL as efficiently as with code

I don’t mean for this to sound insulting but I honestly do not think this is an acceptable take to have as a developer.

Not knowing SQL is like refusing to learn any language that has classes in it, simply because you don’t like it.

I’ve heard stories of huge corporations failing product launches because some code was written to SELECT * from a database and filtering it in-app instead of doing the queries correctly, and what’s so fun with these types of issues is that they usually don’t appear until weeks later when the table has grown to a size where it becomes a problem.

When you’re saying that you’d rather find the data in-app than in-database, you’re putting the work on an inferior party in the transaction simply because you can’t be bothered.

The code will never* find the correct data faster than the database.

* there may be exceptions, but they’re far enough between to still say “never”.

Charles Darwin: The Original Kirby
Here we go again, a lot of comments saying k8s and gitops are too complex.

IMHO, your ops team can accidentally delete your data one way or another regardless. Today it was moving files to a wrong directory in git, yesterday it could have been human executing `rm -rf` against the wrong path. The highlighted item here should be the bad backup process. You can't say your data is backed up unless you actually verify successful restoration from the backup data, on a regular basis. This was true 20 years ago for your SQL database instance, and this is still true today for your k8s PVCs.

FWIW, I have been running GitOps long enough that any PR that moves files around raise the highest alerts in my head. The fundamental issue I have seen in many places is that engineers stores infra code in git and call it "GitOps". When you adopt GitOps concept, the most important thing is to train your engineers to switch to a different mental model, where your git repo is the _desired_ state of your infra -- it's not the actual state of the infra, and it's not a store of your imperative commands to manipulate the infra. When your desired state of your namespace is to not to exist, your gitops engine will try to make that happen!

Nearly every IPv6 capable device supports the privacy extensions, and most systems turn them on by default. I know Windows, Mac and, Linux do.

> Second thing is instead of counting how many dead I'd rather count how many man-years of lives reduced. I'd bet with every such event the average life expectancy goes down, especially for old, super young & sickly. so overall impact would be large number of man-years of lives removed from humanity.

I know you threw babies in here but it feels like I have to point out that the old and sickly dying have a negligible effect on man years lost.

> Also, IMO most of deaths will come from decimation of food crops brought on by climate change induced 'weather randomization'. our world currently is super optimized for supporting 8B people. any one of the optimizations in the chain fail and we wont be able to easily recover. when multiple fail realistically the world economy sill settle into a non-globalized setup. that will support far fewer people than exist today.

I don’t really agree that the world is as fragile as you propose. But I feel like need to clarify that I’m not arguing against the threat posed by climate change broadly.
Agreed basically the OOP people who took it too far.

What part of the car are we looking at here? "Front casting" is not a standard car part. I am going to assume the Tesla does not use castings for it chassis. The article did not make this clear at all.
Some feedback (it's clear you're just pitching FlowChai, but that's ok its HN):

I quick scrolled through your webpage and had no idea what it was. Extremely text heavy, and generic images that didn't communicate anything. I wanted to know what the product LOOKED like, especially as you're describing the difference between it and the chat interface of OpenAI.

I think you updated your comment (or I missed it) with the link to a "report" - it looked just like the output of one of the text bubbles except it had some (source) links (which I think Bing does as well)? It didn't seem all that different to me.

I've got a small personal project submitting traces/logs/metrics to Clickhouse via SigNoz. Only about 400k-800k spans per day (https://i.imgur.com/s0J6Mzo.png), but running on a single t4g.small with CPU typically at 11% and IOPS at 4%. I also have everything older than a certain number of GB getting pushed to a sc1 cold storage drive.

If I was less stupid I'd get a machine with the recommended Clickhouse specs and save myself a few hours of tuning, but this works great.

Downsides:

- clickhouse takes about 5 minute to start up because my tiny sc1 drive has like 4 IOPS allowed

- signoz's UI isn't amazing. It's totally functional, and they've been improving very quickly, but don't expect datadog-level polish
If an engineering organization is doing the equivalent of laying on the floor and kicking and screaming that they can't do anything, where signs of this include:

* Split up into multiple teams under different kingdom building directors/VPs

* More time is spent defending Jira SLAs and deflecting blame than actually solving problems

* Dev teams under different managers have an adversarial relationship

If the above is true, just adding a standup for a given initiative that includes all of the team members and just normal human behavior of exposure builds a little trust and collaboration is a miracle pill!

Albeit it's a 'miracle' pill that takes the org from laying on the ground kicking and screaming to slowly making code changes that no customer wants - but comparatively it looks like a miracle to legacy management!

The real solution is to fire 3/4 of the management staff and take the next 3 years to rebuild an effective organization. <-- however, this doesn't sell like a SCRUM Miracle Pill™
The space constraints can be solved. The filters can be neatly arranged under the search bar, in dropdowns, with some indication of activity state when not expanded. Any active filter can appear as a tag label in the search bar (with a click or to dismiss or backspace at the start of the search bar to pop).

An excellent search bar might offer filter-suggestions as you type into the search bar, e.g. typing “Richmond” might show you a neighborhood filter for “The Richmond”, a city filter for “Richmond” along with the general search term “Richmond”.

This way the filter only occupy some cheap vertical space which can be scrolled passed, with only active filters taking some space horizontal from the search bar (which can always just wrap anyway).
Interestingly, Ashton Cofer and Teddy Solomon of Fizz tried some PR damage control when their wrongdoing came to light https://stanforddaily.com/2022/11/01/opinion-fizz-previously.... Their response was weak and it seems like they've refused to comment on the debacle since then.
I'm incredibly excited about this one. Migrations are a hidden cost that most people don't want to see it.
A lot of W-2 jobs are simple pay per hour or per year, nothing more. There is not even a need for HR, there are no benefits, just a small business where the owner might run everything.

Even if you do have benefits, I doubt the local hotel/restaurant/spa/doctors office/etc is going through a formal layoff process with severance. Probably not even all the outsourcing companies that Apple/Microsoft/Meta/etc use for tech support and whatnot.
Yes they bundled it under single dark pattern toggle so most people won’t click it.
An IDE is integrated: it comes with the tools (debugger, build system, language support, etc) built in. If they're not integrated, it's not an Integrated Development Environment. I'd say things like VS Code, Sublime Text, Vim, and other plugin-based editors are "Plugin-based development environments", or PDEs (my term). Most IDEs these days are hybrids; they come with an integrated environment and support plugins as well.
Sure. I'd buy that.
When Git was first released, the Linux kernel sources had less than 20,000 files. It currently has around 70,000 files. It’s not nothing, but it also isn’t millions.
