I only saw one mention of HN's stereotypical in-group (the gray tribe) in this already massive thread, so I suspect the author's conclusion (that it's painful to be honestly critical of your own in-group) is spot-on.

Here's an attempt at criticism of the gray tribe. Writing it felt a little uncomfortable, maybe I have one foot in the gray tribe and the other foot somewhere else. If this post doesn't get downvoted to 5% opacity then I wasn't honest enough:

1. We rail about over-complicated systems yet we inevitably make them more complex.

2. We claim to love precision but one of our most important values is "progress".

3. We're just as nepotistic as everyone else but we claim to be a meritocracy.

4. We think we're good problem solvers but we just might be better at making them.

5. We think growth is sustainable.

I feel conflicted about the matter. I understand the appeal of bringing in people you know; they are a known quantity and involve less risk-taking than hiring an unknown person.

I can see it going super well if the new people brought in are liked and the culture from the older company is good. In our case, it was the opposite and tanked the team morale.
Absolutely and easily provable - go work at a company with the employee count of FAANG and zero managers. As all managers are useless, this company will EASILY outperform the stupid FAANGs.

In the real world there are tolerances, so at my job I rarely have to get the correct answer which can be really hard, I just have to get close to the correct answer which can still be hard, but compared to actually solving the problem, it's a lot easier.

Now because I work in a textile mill, the tolerance I usually get is 0.125 inches which is huge. I usually go all the way down to 0.0001 inches because I think it's funny, and also I do have aspirations beyond just working with textiles.
A steam turbine is (to some approximation) an inverse heat pump. You can use the temperature delta from an electric heat pump to run a turbine and generate electricity, but the laws of thermodynamics guarantee that the power output of the (heat pump + turbine) system will be less than its power input. The best you can hope for is to approach 100% efficiency.

I can't stand jq. I realize this is an unpopular opinion, and our codebase at work has plenty of jq in the bash scripts, some of it even code that I wrote. I begrudgingly use it when it's the best option for me. But something about it rubs me the wrong way - I think it's the unintuitive query syntax and the need to search for every minute step of what I'm trying to do, and the frequency with which that leads to cryptic answers that I can only decipher if I am some sort of jq expert. But I have this instinctive reaction to all DSL languages that embed themselves into strings, like htmx and tailwind (both embedded in attribute string values). I realize some people like it, and it's a well-made piece of software, and I will even admit that sometimes there is no better choice. But I guess I just hate that it's necessary? I guess I could also admit it's the least-bad option, in the sense that it's a vast improvement over various sed/awk/cut monstrosities when it comes to parsing JSON in bash. Certainly once you find the right incantation, it's perfect - it transforms some raw stdin into parsed JSON that you can manipulate into exactly what you need. But for me, it ranks right next to regex in terms of "things I (don't) want to see in my code." I hate that the jq command is always some indecipherable string in the middle of the script. The only real alternative I've ever used is piping to a Python program that I define inline in a heredoc, but that ends up being at least as nasty as the JQ script.
Your citation says Chrome supports 32779 and Safari >64k. I think it’s fair to say that, as a user (disregarding potential search engine aspects), 8000-character URLs are 100% fine these days.

3) Amazon grad takes hold of a freight forwarder, and then realizes freight forwarding is not a tech company, nor is it just warehousing and distribution.

And then realizes his competitors rely as much on grizzled logistics veterans and their corporate knowledge about customs brokerage and how to Get Shit Done and Get Shit From Point A to Point B as they do on a cool tech stack. And then goes "shit."

Don't get me wrong. From a tech perspective, a lot of Flexport's competitors could use a size-18 boot in the ass. But tech is an enabler for them, not the core business. So there's only so much willingness to fork out cash for what senior leaders see as a supporting function. I mean, if their 40-year-old COBOL backend still works, they DGAF that it's outdated. At least until it can't keep up with the modern side or it starts falling over when all the devs retire, which is a separate story.
Yes, I've seen this as well! Thanks for the link.

As my kids got older, we upgraded to Lego system track and I was initially very disappointed in it. The math for Lego track is quite different and there is something very satisfying about the Duplo system.

The key difference is that switches in Duplo are equivalent to two oppositely curved tracks overlaid on each other. This means you can pop a switch in anywhere that there is a curve piece. In the Lego system track, it is a straight piece with a curve out and back in slightly. If you place two switches together you can connect two parallel tracks, but it has the disadvantage of being harder to place (you end up needing substantial straight sections to use switches)
I guess that depends on your definition of magic, you talk like we understand everything about the universe, I'm sure that for all intense and purposes, there is plenty of "magic" left.
Python is so much harder to process JSON data in than jq, that that is how I got into working with and on jq almost a decade ago.
The difference between "horseshoes and nails" and functional art is that nobody looks at horseshoes and nails and appreciates the craft that went into them, unless they are decorative, i.e., unless they are boutique hand-forged nails or horseshoes.

I wonder how the GPS coords is actually encoded in the EXIF data, because I have a hard time believing they're actually encoding it with as many significant digits as displayed by the website.

For the example they give, I'm counting 14 significant digits for GPSLatitude, and 16 for GPSLongitude, which is way more specific than a grain of sand, ref https://xkcd.com/2170/

I suppose it's floating point, and of course that brings its own "fun" in displaying in decimal.

At least it also includes GPSPositioningError!

There were important, even decisive "soft factors", as well. E.g., literacy among common solders and even officers was much higher in German forces, which has impact on communications, the ability to navigate troops, etc.

Also worth a note that Boris Johnson (former prime minister for those far from the UK) himself said he was happy to share all those WhatsApp messages on his phone with the investigation team, and it was a government department that stepped in to refuse access to those messages, repeatedly. They considered the WhatsApp messages too sensitive for an official investigation to read.
Because your ISP will hijack the queries it makes.
Yeah, Python is like 10-20x the number of lines required to do the same thing as jq (especially with the boilerplate of consuming stdin), but that's also why it's more readable. But generally I agree - I would choose jq over some weird bash/python hybrid most of the time. I just wish it was more immediately readable.
Your last paragraph rang so true. Webpack will tell you that you are missing a dependency and ask you to include it or remove it. I feel useEffect is a fine api. It’s not the apis fault if I shot myself in the foot with it.
Evolution can happen rapidly[1]. All the needed changes could have occurred over just a few generations.

It likely starts with chemical mimicry. I can't imagine that it didn't start this way as insects live in an umwelt dominated by chemical sensory input. The beetle is able to easily visit the nest, grab food and not be attacked. Their life cycle becomes more and more intertwined with the termites until they never leave the nest. The beetles whole body starts to transform under evolutionary pressures to produce an additional tactile mimicry. That's my just-so story of how it could happen.

So excuse what may be my profound ignorance, but aren't there 2 unencrypted points in every communication that they could intercept?

Very roughly, I assume every Whatsapp message follows something along the lines of:

1. Unencrypted input

2. Encryption

3. Encrypted transmission

4. Decryption

5. Unencrypted stream to display handler

Technically - what's to stop them from compelling Apple and Google into putting a software keyboard logger inbetween 1 & 2 and another output logger between 4 & 5?

Edit: I'm not saying this backdoor would be secure btw. Of course it wouldn't. But that seems to me a separate issue than "breaking encryption"

Tip for pairs of lines. Use grep -A, -B, or -C to emit lines surrounding the first line to match, then pipe that into a second grep (also with -A, -B or -C). e.g.

grep -A1 foo | grep -B1 bar

Will find a line with "foo" followed by a line with "bar" and emit both. Of course, it will also find a single line with both "foo" and "bar", so it's not perfect. This is a quick and dirty solution. Beyond that, break out sed and awk, or maybe the Practical Extraction and Report Language... it's really good at that stuff.

You know thats not an actual god in the tweet right?

You are falling for the funny technobabble which shows that you are the butt of the joke.

In the tweet thats just a fancy way of using funny words to describe physics and how technology is good.

But also, its not particularly relevant to the idea of science magic existing.

The tweet is literally just using big words to talk about the existing idea of thermodynamics that we've all learned about in 8th grade science class.

But also, once again, no matter how much they are using fancy words to make fun of these topics, they still aren't actually doing anything beyond building companies and making memes.

These people don't have the ability to use sci-fi magic. And they aren't lobbying congress to make laws, nor are they making threats about bombing data centers.

Thats the difference!

Edit:

Even people in the tweet chain that you linked are aware of the joke.

"No, clearly not. The premise of the Thermodynamic God just puts a name on a foundational physical process"

Its clearly a joke. And this tweet explains the joke.

edit 2:

Here is another example. https://twitter.com/BasedBeffJezos/status/169653556399275630...

"Sun is our main source of free energy on Earth and is thus a proxy for the Thermodynamic God.

Praise the Sun"

Its so clearly a joke meant to make fun of skynet people.

Praise the Sun is in reference to the dark soul meme. Nobody saying praise the sun is actually praising the sun.

Its an internet joke, and he in this context is using to describe bog standard 8th grade science.

Not much better on the browser though they seemed to have cleaned it up a bit since my last visit. Many years ago when I visited the website to download smlnj for class, I had to double and triple check the url and google/bing/etc the website to make sure it was not a spam site because of how barebones and amateurish the site looked.

I think the last update year is actually 2020. 2022 is the release year of the latest SMLNJ version. I think they could have layed it out better but smlnj is mostly for academic use so I'll let it slide.

Generics from India are not the only option. For example, the German BERLIN-CHEMIE, with over 150 of history behind it, offers comparable pricing and is one of the most popular brand for generics in Europe. For example, I have not seen a single drug made in India in Europe and I think I know why - they won't pass regulation probably or cannot offer lower prices and higher quality. Yet, most American ingest carcinogens from India, which fuels the conspiracy that this is desired - sick people getting sicker is highly profitable!

I guess I should have explained better: we're running batch science jobs, or applications that serve up images to users, already in AWS. The user experience is already "fast enough" with an EC2 server with a bunch of SSDs, except that the dataset size is hundreds of terabytes and we don't know the access pattern ahead of time. S3 has a huge savings in terms of total byte cost, and for batch science jobs that already speak S3 natively or for workflows where the engine itself can do S3 to local staging we have good performance.

See https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-021-01326-w figure 1 a and b for a demonstration of the distinct time-to-first-byte for uncached data (local POSIX, S3, and nginx/http). I'm trying to find a way to accelerate that TTFB for a dataset that lives in S3 and we don't know which parts could be cached before a user shows up and clicks on a dataset.

(I know it's a weird use case. It's not one I particularly want to support, as my own interests are more in the large-scale batch compute than the interactive user).
