Because I apparently have an infinite appetite for masochism: do you have any recommendations for authors you've read and liked?
Agreed; I think that's the key point - we often don't consider "Manager Skillset" the same way we do "Technical Skillset":

1. It takes a lot of learning

2. It takes a lot of practice

3. It's a complex landscape of skills (coaching well-performing employees, coaching under-performing employees, planning & managing a project & timelines, obtaining & managing a budget, managing client expectations, reporting at executive level, supporting technical design, etc etc are all wildly different skills and not every manager will have all of them at same level, just like not all techies will be expert in database and front end and back end and data analytics and enterprise architecture and infrastructure and networking etc:)
>And I'd call them imbeciles, why you think that "the people like that exist" is argument for anything ?

I agree, I don't understand these sorts of arguments. While I suppose deference to anecdotal evidence has always been around it seems more and more prolific as of late, and more often than is used as justification for a baseless argument simply because others argue baselessly.
The nickname for them is "BritMart" and tend to be more common in areas with large British expat communities. I remember lots of them when I lived in Florida.

What if every author, every publisher, colluded to declare that every book is AI-generated? That would create a haze of doubt and eventually, it should remove stigma, as nobody will really be able to know.

What’s the difference between a display server managing frames from applications for display, and compositors.. managing frames from applications for display but possibly with fire and wobbling? That’s like a bad place to draw a line.

There is no problem with monoliths in itself, if you needlessly introduce IPC at boundaries that don’t need it, you make your life just harder (also, tell that to those who make everything into a microservice). Also, people can use libraries to create better, different implementations, e.g. see wlroots - isn’t that the spirit of open-source instead of a single de facto monolith?

The important thing is that the public API is well-defined.

Also, X has problems and needs replacing because its fundamental architecture got outdated in the last 30 years.

Since this may be confusing at first (why does squaring buy you anything here) - the reason squaring makes it expspace complete is, basically, squaring allows you to express an exponentially large regex in less than exponential input size.

This in turn means polynomial space in the size of the input is no longer enough to deal with the regex.

If you only allow repetition, than an exponentially large regex requires exponential input size, and thus polynomial space in the size of the input still suffices to do equivalence.

This is generally true - operators that allow you to reduce the size of the input necessary to express a regex by a complexity class will usually increase the size complexity class necessary to determine equivalence by a corresponding amount.
Yup I think your definition of crypto bro is wrong: that's exactly who they are in their vast majority, people who read once the opinion that the "federal reserve is never federal nor a reserve" and believe it and start clicking on bullshit links. It's in the very name of it and they can still believe the first guy telling them, with no proof nor demonstration, that it's not.

Trusting the first website they read is exactly the defining trait of crypto bros. Normal people just use experience to guide their decision, like say, do like their parents and stick to a bank account.

Bookstore Chain Dymocks Discloses Data Breach Possibly Impacting 800k Customers
CI systems are important to me, but my requirement is pretty much: Can it run a bash script. Every CI I've ever used has degraded into a bash script runner. It starts out well enough, you try to use all the build in features but at some point you fallback to running a shells script and then slowly more and more move to the script, because it's easier.

Someone should just build a bash CI, something that can manage secrets and then run one or more shells scripts.

300 years is plenty long time.

Suppose we crack true general artificial intelligence, nuclear fusion, ability to design self-assembling beings with DNA compilers, advanced material synthesis then we could very well launch a retaliating attack.

Is there only one past? Is the number of times represented as a discrete value or a function with some distribution? Is the time component one way, or could it make sense to remember how many times it will loop in the future?
This is true and already reality, no need for hypotheticals. There are exit nodes serving child porn right now, yet, the operators are not prosecuted.

The child porn traffickers and other problematic users are all on Tor already. With the growing number of users their proportion will only decline.
Honestly, changing the way they do it is a fine idea. Massive documentation pages were how we did it in the olden days. And I think they're still good for when you want to read through and get an understanding of the whole library. But having that also broken up into a lot of small pages that link back to the main doc would be really helpful to people who are searching for specific solutions.

I think that could mostly be done in an automated fashion to start. Then into the master doc you can start adding hinting and extra material that gets rendered into the sub-pages. So it could be approached gradually.

Similar to when GameMaker: Studio switched to a subscription model Unity is about to shed a lot of users but will probably make mire money then it ever has.

Also this seems to be targeting the mobile market more than other markets because of how large install bases are on that platform. 100M+ users for each popular mobile game * 0.01-0.02 = a lot of money for Unity.

Nowhere does my comment state that no one is faking. You've simply left reality in favor of a fantasy.

This is what I said:

> collectively, we don't know enough about CFS or the human brain to make definitive statements like 'a large number are faking it.'

This is what it means:

We don't know enough to quantify the ratio of fakers.

'A large number are faking it' is a type of quantification: a ratio. In this case, a descriptive ratio that uses the words "large number" instead of literal numbers.

Sure, but you have to be 100% perfect in guessing when the cache file must be rebuilt. If there is any situation at all where you use the cached file when you should have rebuilt your tool is not useful.

Note that you can go too far. If you rebuild a file on linux even though the only changes were in a "#ifdef freebsd" (windows, mac...) section that is a waste of time, but not harmful. However we already have tools that do that.
It's definitely a genuine concern, at least for some people (let's say degrowth ecologists). (not to say oil companies aren't using these in bad faith too)

Usually this argument exist in the framework of explaining how large wind turbines are actually industrial facilities with associated risks (among which killing birds, waste, need for concrete/infrastructure in agricultural land, ..) and not somehow "free" "green" or "renewable" energy. Modern "wind farms" have basically nothing to do with windmills or small-scale wind power like wind-powered water wells (which typically are used as direct power for mechanical or heat energy): they need global supply-chains and big companies.
Sadly the digital-only version isn't the same.

Eh it's really the same rule, just applying a different threshold.
FP Scala is enforced by discipline rather than the language itself. It works wonderfully, even though you don't have effect tracking and can launch intercontinental missiles everywhere.

Not saying this paradigm fits in Ruby, but it certainly works with discipline as well.

As for shoehorning things into Ruby – I think its fine to experiment. Libraries can always try to bring best practices from other languages, some might fit wonderfully, others might not. I personally dislike exceptions, I will happily include "fake" Result/Either for non panic workflows

If we save 0.2 per install by having Unity ads, does this mean the other ad sources drive less income? This effectively means the saved amount by using Unity ads is offset by the lost income from the no longer used original ad source.
I think it's the need for headsets that will keep VR/AR squarely in "niche" territory (mostly games). Perhaps a large niche, but niche nonetheless.
Same. It turns out physical port standardization was a red herring. If I can’t charge my laptop with a cable, it does me no good to have the same physical interface.
After the first sentence, there were two more sentences explaining that. "Bank balance" meaning the money in your bank account, as opposed to information about your transactions. I did forget to include that my comment was US-centric.
While I do like the idea behind a P2P E2EE chat, I believe that unless you're willing to invest heavily into OrbitDB and IPFS, this project will stay niche at best.

The performance issues that come along with running OrbitDB/IPFS on a machine, let alone a mobile device, are still significant unfortunately. Adding Electron on top of what is already a heavy-weight application is probably going to make people's devices go brrrrr all the time. Not only that, but I would argue that for instant communication this stack might not be the best idea in terms of performance in first place.

Besides, the way IPFS has been (and still keeps) changing their dozens of libraries doesn't make development particularly smooth either. OrbitDB is always behind the latest IPFS version due to all these changes that are being introduced. Hence unless you're planning to allocate developer time on these two things as well, my guess is that you probably won't have too much fun with your back-end.

The integration with Tor is another thing that will likely be a time drain for developers, as other people here already pointed out, and that will lead to even more performance issues down the line.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the idea behind this project. However, I feel like the aspirations are unrealisticly high and the actual outcome might be realtively frustrating for the average end-user. Having that said, I would love my gut feeling to be proven wrong!

Right... actually, according to their latest blog post (from beginning of August), they expected to release the "Fedora Asahi remix" by end of August. Looks like that didn't quite work out, but a release (I guess they mean a RC or production release, not alpha or beta?) seems to be imminent...
I'm not sure I understand the question. What's unclear exactly?
I think it's weirdly regional. Around here it'd be mostly large enterprise stuff (generally of pretty low quality), plus Microsoft. Move one country over and it's commonly used...
It would be nice, but it's not realistic. If Google's revenue disappears, then unless Mozilla finds some other form of revenue (which they've been trying to do for years now), Firefox is done for.
This is a strong but valid take, Mozilla has a huge focus on getting revenue streams from somewhere, but flubbing it right and left along the way. The consumer might benefit from a better browser but Mozilla has basically decided that that’s not what will drive growth or revenues… not that I think they’re particularly correct about that
But that puts all the data on a 3rd party site where I _might_ be able to make a copy of it for myself. It is annoying to get an email from my bank about an "important message", and instead of just sending me the message, I now have to go to the bank's app to read it. Oh, and it disappears after 30 days, so I have no way to archive it or look back on important messages from a year ago.

A government system could easily implement s/mime transparently for all emails sent within that system (meaning any other government agency or registered providers).

Ask HN: Why Use an OLAP Database?
It seems Clickhouse and DuckDB are both gaining in popularity. I thought OLAP was used for loading (and pre-joining) data from data warehouses for faster analytical queries. However, I now see Clickhouse as the application DB in open source projects like ChromaDB and PostHog.
really depends on the enterprise.

I know of quite a few that have buyers remorse over Bazel because they ended up having to have dedicated engineers to keep it working.

There's alot of room for easier to manage Bazel alternatives and I believe enterprises are willing to pay for them.

I have been an open source developer for near twenty years now but that doesn't mean I subscribe to such notions. I am just way too old to feed another Tamagotchi for an OS.
Interesting read, I've definitely heard similar things through various podcast-y outlets (I think there was a "The Weeds" episode about this phenomenon a few years back). I could see an argument that all the engineering talent getting sucked into working on stupid, anti-human projects is a big source of this slowdown. It does seem like over the last decade or so grad degree programs have transitioned from "here's the training you need to work on the cutting edge of your field" to "here's what you need to get picked up by the data science arm of an ad tech company". I will say that going from an 8 to a 9 may come with "phase change" type effects, and personally I believe this is more in line with what's going on. Consumer capitalism has sort of metastasized in the US, and is basically eating our ability to do anything but generate more widgets rather than actual value. Curious to see how/if we pull out of the doom loop
I take the same game runtime (open source, so the argument about being proprietary is not the main argument) and compare the Linux and Windows versions:

Descent D2X-XL.

Linux version: can't install the binaries in my distro, they are not in the repository of packages. Can't compile it as the dependencies are obsolete. I would need to run a 15 years old distro just to test it. It is probable the distro doesn't support current hardware.

Windows version: It just runs on Wine. No problem at all. Runs better than on Windows. Win32 is the only truly backwards compatible API on Linux.

I would say this is a completely self-inflicted issue in Linux world. We rely on proprietary technology because the open desktop and libraries and GPU drivers disregarded backwards compatibility, while Win32 worked hard to preserve it.
It's not just the arms restriction. Theres little restriction if is 9Hz or less. Easily commercially available but can't be exported to many places. You can get a 9Hz 120x80 FLIR Lepton module for about $200. Even stuff at higher frame rates isn't that had to get domestically.

The real problems are lenses and volume. The low quality stuff like the Lepton use low quality silicon dioxide lens. The better stuff uses the expensive germanium. Cheaper zinc selenide can be used with good effect but has health hazards under some conditions. Then there's a small market (maybe 1M Leptons sold is considered high volume) with really one manufacturer (Teldfyne FLIR).
Introverts are generally analytical and try to take in everything and understand it. Extroverts not so much, they just kind of often do this stream of consciousness thing.

So introverts don't really get tired because they lack social skills and are trying -- but because that it takes alot of mental effort to continuously integrate all this new information.

If what you were saying is true then introverts would be less introverted over time as they practiced social skills but the opposite is often true.

Also if people tell you they are "tired" by social contact -- there isn't much you can do about it. Whether you believe it or not makes absolutely no difference to introverts. :)
It is a complex, non-trivial operating system which has its merits in terms of design and prudent use of resources. All of this is well-documented and understandable. You can learn how everything works, top to bottom and back again, which is a feature modern operating systems tend to have lost over the years. I would also argue that it is a humane design, meant to be understood.

There are people who drive their car once a week, to get groceries. There are people who live 100km from work.

As I said prior, what is the spread?

And beyond that, if someone drives very little for 8 months, then drives a lot for 4 months, which happens a lot (kids, summer, vacations, cabins in the summer)...

Many people have range anxiety. People keep saying it's silly, and keep explaining why.

How about you just realise, instead, people with range anxiety aren't morons, and 100% have made a valid assessment?
Current games that work on current Windows versions shouldn't suddenly start to become a problem. Future games would for a while have to support current/older versions of Windows, so those shouldn't become a problem for a while either.

Hopefully when/if it becomes a problem, there will be enough Linux gamers for Linux to be a real consideration, even if this consideration is no more than targetting a specific version of WINE or Proton.

Why should senior devs know that? Someone needs to know those differences, but on a large enterprise project you have a team that keeps the CI system working. The rest need to know how to checkin a file and how to check the CI output. They shouldn't care about those details.

I expect any senior developer CAN learn the above things. However that doesn't mean they are worth knowing.
Depends on company and team I suppose; note there are many aspects to "training":

1. Formal training classes, internal or external - many large companies do offer them

2. "Self-serve" internal training - videos and documents etc; again, many large companies do offer them

3. Informal coaching and mentoring - e.g. my boss is constantly providing feedback and mentoring, sometimes in tiny bitesize chunks you can easily miss and not categorize as training, sometimes in larger nuggets of wisdom. In turn, I do dedicates sessions when a person joins my team on what project is about overall, what their role and place is, what are the challenges and expectations; and then provide feedback and mentoring on continuous basis

4. Self-learning. As individuals we too have responsibility / ownership to train. Just like in my techie days, I'd devour e.g. Oracle DBA or AWS books for fun & profit, in principle, as a manager now, I should similarly read books on coaching and management (I must admit I find them less exciting; but other people feel differently:)
