And the events include things like "refused because the destination account has ceased to exist", "refused because the currency is invalid", "refused because the amount has too many decimal digits", "refused because we are boycotting you", and so on. Anything can happen.
People already mentioned sorting.

Another reason is being able to generate various forms automatically: i.e. from "Fstname:William Robert, Lstname:Smith" to generate "William Robert Smith", "W.R. Smith", "Bill Smith", or just "Bill" without storing any of these variants separately.

Of course this may fail if "William" prefers to be called "Will", not "Bill"...
Then you’re doing it wrong!

I joke, but a lot of people just want to show up and do the bare minimal until quitting time. Disturbingly, many seem employed in customer facing positions.

To be fair, if they’re paying minimum wage, the employer has the same attitude towards the employees.
You definitely hit the nail on something you said, which is when I'm forced to type on my phone, my replies are always MUCH more succinct, clear, as I can only type like 30 WPM probably on my phone.
Ask HN: Thin Developer Notebook
Can HN recommend a modern notebook with great Linux support? My current one is an Asus UX305 I purchased eight years ago. I'm relatively happy with it, but the processor doesn't have enough juice so even lightweight programs like Emacs lags when it runs on battery. My requirements for a new notebook are 1) great Linux support, 2) thin, 3) fanless, 4) HiDPI resolution (preferably 3200x1800 or higher), 5) mid-range price. I'll mostly use it for coding and YouTube.
This is obviously sad where it is counter to the womens' hopes, but it would be interesting to know what the figures are for men.

Previously discussed reports about the imbalances in dating market dynamics (a significant number of young males being without sexual partners) would imply potentially more childless men, but they aren't mentioned here.
Out of curiosity, why isn't OpenTF's development, done, well, in the open? What's the rationale for keeping it closed for now?

I'm not critiquing, not a Terraform user so don't have any stake in this discussion, just curious.
BMW is a much more reliable brand than Land Rover and you can get them in non-tank size. But yeah, still an overpriced status symbol in my opinion.
It should not. It should be "hello" and nothing else.
> And that's despite the fact that renewable energy and electric vehicles had a negligible share.

I could not disagree with this more. While China is a "developing" country, they are arguably making herculean efforts to move away from oil for transportation. They will drag the developed world along, as they will have built up all of this EV and electric scooter/bike/moped manufacturing capacity with only so much domestic consumption for it.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37307619 (China Reaches Peak Gasoline in Milestone for Electric Vehicles)

From the Bloomberg piece:

> Earlier this month, Chinese oil giant Sinopec made a surprise announcement that mostly flew under the radar. It’s now expecting gasoline demand in China to peak this year, two years earlier than its previous outlooks.
The main culprit? The surging number of electric vehicles on the road.

> China has been the largest driver of global growth for refined oil products like gasoline and diesel over the last two decades. But EV adoption rates in China are now soaring, with August figures likely to show plug-in vehicles hitting 38% of new passenger-vehicle sales. That’s up from just 6% in 2020 and is starting to materially dent fuel demand.

> Fuel demand in two and three-wheeled vehicles is already in structural decline, with BNEF estimating that 70% of total kilometers traveled by these vehicles already switched over to electric. Fuel demand for cars will be the next to turn, since well over 5% of the passenger-vehicle fleet is now either battery-electric or plug-in hybrid. The internal combustion vehicle fleet is also becoming more efficient due to rising fuel-economy targets.
Yes that's hilarious, I noticed that.
Well, Zoho, which is a very small player, has a suite with everything, and they are doing just fine. An i am sure they are not subsidizing anything. See here: https://www.zoho.com/workplace/?ireft=zoffice

Which has very limited usefulness since it only last for the session, so it helps if you are say doing the same query over and over on the same connection like bulk inserts but does not help for say the same select use over different requests where the connection is closed or given back to pool on each request which is far more common and would probably line up with the or/in issue here.

I don't even think PG caches plans for functions/sprocs. Back in the day with MSSQL before it had full plan caching based on statement text you could at least make sprocs for common queries and get plan reuse which had a large impact on perf in many apps.
It's a priority for NASA, but it isn't a priority for the snakes in Congress, who don't really care about anything beyond their approaching graves and thus only see NASA as a jobs program.

Satellite communications systems aren't as easy of a jobs program as giant outdated rockets, thus they'll only allocate funding to SLS at the cost of everything else.
In fact, I would guess that there majority of OCI images aren't used with docker at all, but by kubernetes [directly] on containerd

Carbon offsets credit programs and fossil fuel emissions capture schemes fall into one of two categories: technical failures or economic frauds.

The technical issue for fossil fuel carbon capture schemes involves conservation of energy. Simply stated, a diesel truck that captures all its emissions as it drives down the road is an obviously implausible scheme, as anyone with even a vague appreciation of how engines work should realize. Clogging the exhaust is the first problem, separating the CO2 (and incomplete combustion products and particulate & inorganic contaminants) from the exhaust stream is the next, and storing the concentrated CO2 is the third.

The only reason these carbon capture systems have been built in practice is to generate a stream of CO2 for enhanced oilfield recovery, a process in which CO2 is injected into aged oil wells because it facilitates recovery of oil from these wells. The CO2/oil mix that comes out is refined as usual and most of the injected CO2 just escapes back to the atmosphere.

The economic fraud all revolves around the technical fact that 'carbon credit' schemes don't offset anything, and in a warming world so-called 'carbon stores' like British Columbian forests have been going up in smoke due to increased wildfires. Similarly cap-and-trade doesn't work; it was originally based on a scheme to clean up sulfur in diesel fuel but the sulfur just ended up in ship bunker fuel (although cities are somewhat cleaner due to the introduction of ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel).

What's particularly egregious about these schemes is the degree of dishonesty demonstrated by their political and industrial promoters - they know they don't work. For example, production of natural gas is booming to record levels at present while the very politicians and executives responsible for the boom are running around proclaiming how concerned they are about climate and running ads stating their dedication to net-zero. Similarly, even if some coal plants are retired in the US, exports of coal to Asia are rising and production is barely falling.

The fact is there's not a single major fossil fuel producing country or corporation on the planet that has any intention of shutting down production in the forseeable future. This is why countries like China, that have to import most of their fossil fuel, are so far ahead in renewable energy production and technology.

No, but worst case if you decline the tatoo, you are fired.

Compare that you the very real request to attend a HR struggle session, or sign an expression of support of X cause in a letter

Now refuse. You, your friends, and your loved ones may end up fired AND, victims of a social media mob-lynching

As you can see, the downside is quite dramatic in 1 of the 2 scenarios. Tattoo is suddenly looking quite good!

The vast majority of us are thrilled with streaming quality and would rather use speakers from our TV than a sound system. I actually have a sound system and haven't bothered to turn it on in a few years.

The article provides an in-depth look at the development and impact of Windows 3.0, highlighting the key players and technological advancements that contributed to its success. It offers a fascinating perspective on the evolution of Microsoft and the broader tech industry. Developers and tech enthusiasts would find this piece particularly insightful, as it not only delves into the technical aspects of Windows 3.0, but also its cultural and commercial significance.

I fully agree with you but governments aren't exactly the ally on this one. Local and state governments in particular are losing out on tax revenue due to WFH. Lower attendance in offices (often in city centers) means less spending in those areas, so lower sales tax revenue. (I think New York City is projecting around $4500 less spending per worker annually.) Depreciating corporate property values means lower property tax revenue.

On the plus side we have the greatest effect on politics at the local level, if we get involved.
Docker feels incomplete without Compose. Dockerfiles on their own are usually missing a lot of critical information about how to run the container in practice (volumes, environment variables, network dependencies, ports to forward, etc). With plain Docker you usually have to read a bunch of documentation to figure all that out; with Compose all that information is in the file and you can just run `docker compose up`.
The API didn't go down. We run a production service and had no issues
I can guarantee you it's not a case of "I can't do this, so I'll criticize it". I'm actually a decent 2-finger typist, and this has never limited me when troubleshooting a problem or designing a solution. Engineering problems are seldom solved by typing really fast.

I'm fine with you improving your WPM, I just don't think it's a worthwhile endeavor -- it's not making you more efficient where it matters. Likewise, I could improve my WPM, this is not rocket science and anyone can do it with training. It's not even hard training.

But why? I could also train to run faster, but would it help me do my job better?

edit: out of curiosity, and this proves nothing either way, I tried your monkeytype link and got 90 WPM with 97% ACC.

The developers shouldn't have to be anon for this type of amazing project. They should be publicly celebrated instead of having to hide for fear of being buried in legal trouble. Sad state of the world.
They explain that the benefit to the companies is the tax write off. The part they don’t explain is how little money shows like these generate that they’re worth less than the potential write off. The big semi-open secret in streaming right now is that viewership is a lot lower than people think and much less correlated with show “quality” (where by “quality” here I mean production cost). This is why the whole industry is introducing ad-supported tiers. Look for that to be paired with shows that are radically cheaper to make and payout less to talent in residuals, ie. reality TV. The last decade of streaming has been a big bubble. The economics are fundamentally unchanged from 2008 basic cable so as these services try to actually become profitable expect the content to look a lot more like Toddlers And Tiaras than Westworld and expect to watch a lot more ads.
That means about 1/3 of male population may never have any of them as well. What haunts me most is to ponder about the world we get when a lot these 18 years old become 75+ years old people with no close living relatives and their social support network mostly gone before themselves. A world of single or no children also leaves people with no uncles, aunts or cousins.
I think this is a surface level explanation but there must be deeper reasons why people aren’t having children.

Maybe our lives are so comfortable we just don’t want the inconvenience of children.

Maybe we’re so obsessed with momentary hedonism that doing something extremely hard for 18 years doesn’t seem worth it.

Maybe there are so many generational traumas built up over thousands of years that now that we have some awareness of mental health issues it’s really putting people off children before they are resolved.

I don’t know what it is. But I definitely feel like we don’t know the answer as a society deep down.

Edit: and the topic is so controversial I don’t know how we can find out. This whole issue might be about women in the workforce, or contraception, but touching these topics is insanely risky. Which is really bad, because we really need to understand in the next few decades.

Working with code day to day has almost fostered in me a sense of contempt for computers. In high school/college, I spent a lot of free time doing rom hacks, etc. I just can't now. Now my tech hobbies lay more around arcade repair/modding. Knowing what I know now, I wish I could muster up the energy to combine the two and work on projects similar to UMK3+ [0], but I just don't feel like sitting in front of a debugger all evening after coding all day at work :|

I guess in my case, I had to find a hobby that was not exactly like work, even if it was work-adjacent.

Likewise. This is precisely how it happens, and no amount of wishful thinking about how companies are going to insource the maintainance of some major FOSS package is going to change that. It simply will not happen that way, companies want to focus on their business and not on the vast amount of tooling that underpins basic functionality, they'll just use another supplier.
Price is set at the margin. Supply 100, demand 101 price goes up. Supply 100 demand 99 price goes down until supply and demand equalize.

75% of new electricity production is renewable. 10% of new car sales are EV's. A large fraction of new home heating installations are heat pumps. The three largest hydrocarbon demands are transitioning. That's going to have a meaningful effect on demand. It'll take decades to get anywhere close to zeroing demand, but it's going to have an effect on the margin quite quickly.

Can the companies & countries addicted to massive oil profits cut production quickly enough to stabilize prices? OPEC is trying but they're only a small and shrinking fraction of production and the gains from defection are so large...

It's been useful and gratifying to see it build. It also serves as a reference when I'm forgetting a book, helping me kick start the memories of it.
you could say it's always happening

headlines are "<censored cursing>"

But shouldn't we then prefer the lest sensational variant, we are so swamped with bad news all the time that at least for external (i.e. country far away, likely not going to affect the country the news is for) things if I had the choice between two attention grabbing similar misleading titles I would always prefer the one which is less painting the picture of "the whole world goes to shit". Because AFIK this kind of misunderstanding produced here is less likely to have further negative ripple effects of people which only saw the headline incorrectly quoting it.

But also I'm living in a country where there is no issue with newspapers constantly downplaying police or citizen violence.

So my preference might differ.

> Then the pandemic happened and they allowed (or couldn't stop) Zoom from becoming synonymous with video calls during that period. Skype could (should?) have been the verb that everyone used.

Teams instantly dominated the work world in the UK at least as soon as the pandemic hit.

Pretty clear why Teams wins anyway... Assuming you want SSO in your corporation.

Zoom price: £160 per year.

Office 365 business standard: £123 including Office, Powerpoint, Excel, Exchange, Sharepoint...

And after this change, you also have the option to just buy teams for £60 - £100 less than the Zoom price.

I think we'll never stop extracting oil in the foreseeable future, we'll just be doing a lot less of it. There will always be corner cases where diesel or other oil derivatives (or NG) are the /only/ reasonable option for fuel.

Think generators for an antarctic station that can only use solar in certain months and wind isn't enough (or reliable enough)). Even if efficient electric commercial aviation at scale ever happens, you can bet military jets will still need jet fuel. I'm sure there's many others. Methane for rocket launches?

On top of fuel, there's also the use of some fraction of oil in industrial chemical processes to make lubricants and plastics. There may be other chemical processes that can do it without oil, but they may be too costly (in terms of other extractive processes for ingredients, or in terms of yield, not just energy).
I think you're largely right, but there is also the fact the expectations for childrearing have significantly increased. Several generations ago children had jobs. One or two generations ago children were allowed to roam the streets until dark. Now parents have the police called on them for letting a child walk to the park alone, and are expected to curate a list of extracurricular activities they then chauffeur their child to.

I'm very much not in the "it's too expensive/hard to have kids camp", but I do think we've raised the costs in many ways, at least in the US.

If you'd like to constrain that to commercial OSS projects it would be more compelling.
It’s not a technical problem. IBM and whomever owns other “undead” platforms aren’t dumb, they price the stuff high enough to print money, but low enough to make it a poor return to migrate.

In a big enterprise, the mainframes give CIOs leverage for other stuff too - they sell at high margin and IBM will “give away” or subsidize other services by moving money around in the backend.
This means that an even bigger share of men may never have children. But that isn't important of course.
