Very true. For every day dev, all the framework bits are stuff the average dev doesn't need to know at all. Ie, none of the devs at my company know anything about that, and that's just fine. We get a ton of work done.

And I always think: "you went to the effort to get a domain name and put a website up, but you couldn't go the one more step and have your email point there too?" Especially since you likely hired a web company to do the website, why didn't they also do the email? At least in these cases a company's web-savvyness (or grammar) don't necessarily affect their building skill.
Yeah, I agree.

I have cut down my initial feature set drastically. My build system won't even have incremental builds. It must be able to build itself, though.
I have a friend who is a civil servant (ONS). She would be the first to concede that salaries are low but there are other benefits that compensate. Working from home 3 days a week, generous time off in lieu for the odd extra hours worked and so on.

I should add she is late 50's and the prospect of finding work elsewhere in a comparable role would be very unlikely.

Ask HN: Is it reasonable to ask a client to pay me royalties?
As a freelancer, I built a trade show system 7 years ago and I was paid $10k for the planning and build.

My client says he loves this system and he's used it at around 50 trade shows since I built it. I'm not sure how much he charges the trade show to use it.

It has minimal bugs and requires little maintenance.

Would it be fair if I got royalties or some of the profits every time he uses it?
> I like the thread per core design because kernel context switches are expensive

You can do a millions to tens of millions kernel entries/exits per second per core. They're on the same order of magnitude as a single digit number of full cache misses.

So, expensive, but a lot less expensive than many people assume.

Your code won't compile unless everything is Send/Sync as appropriate, and (I might be wrong, but) the lazy path to achieving this is usually wrapping things that might be shared in Arcs and/or Mutexes.

I converted a large Protractor suite to Playwright and am very happy with the result. Top notch product, and the pace of development and addition of new features is great too.
My general feeling is that I think people lean on how they feel about these problems because building an experiment and quantifying the problem to make a solid case for it actually being a problem worthy of resources and remediation is... tedious and unfun?

Prompt: Give me the best battery warranty out of all EVs sold in the USA.

Responses:

1-The Lucid Air has the best battery warranty out of all EVs sold in the USA. It comes with an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty on the battery and electric drive components.

2-As of my knowledge cut-off in 2022, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD has the longest battery warranty out of all EVs sold in the USA at eight years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first.

3-As of 2021, the Hyundai Kona Electric and Hyundai Ioniq Electric offer the best battery warranty among all electric vehicles sold in the USA. Both Hyundai models offer a Lifetime Battery Warranty, which is the longest warranty out there. This is in contrast to other manufacturers like Tesla, which offer 8-year or 100,000 to 150,000 mile warranties, depending on the model. However, always check with the individual manufacturer as warranties can change.

4-Unfortunately there is no single definitive "best" EV battery warranty in the US, as warranties can vary quite a bit between automakers and models. However, some EVs with notably good battery warranties in the US market include:
Hyundai Kona Electric - 10 year/100,000 mile battery warranty
Chevrolet Bolt EV - 8 year/100,000 mile battery warranty
Tesla Model 3/Y - 8 year/100,000-120,000 mile battery warranty
Nissan Leaf - 8 year/100,000 mile battery warranty
Kia Niro EV - 10 year/100,000 mile battery warranty
Key factors in assessing EV battery warranties include the length of time and mileage covered, as well as details like percentage of capacity retained and any stipulations on transferability, rapid charging limitations, etc. Tesla and Hyundai/Kia tend to stand out as having some of the most comprehensive.

The correct answer is Rivian. Rivian has 175,000 miles or 8 year battery warranty. This warranty was in effect in 2021, so all models should know about it. Putting the Kia Nero in very last does not make logical sense, as it can and should be placed 'at the top' with 10 years of warranty. The statement about a Lifetime Battery Warranty for Hyundai applies only to its 2019 models, so it should be eliminated. The LLMs are extrapolating information into newer models, and this hallucination/lie is creating misinformation on factual info.
I got covid in november of 2022. I've had massive problems with my blood pressure and pulse and have been unable to smell ever since.

"Giving the immune system practice" doesn't apply to covid. Every single covid infection makes the immune system weaker.

Your suggestion is akin to saying condoms are unnecessary, everyone should just get HIV and we should just accept the new normal.

There's no easy way out of this pandemic, just like there was no easy way out of the HIV pandemic.
They tell you the formula. For a group like this it’s usually just a percentage of your profits.
Very exciting (from an engineer point of view), but there is much much more in a chips/devices/OS than "AI". It's a trap!

To me, it seems like a distraction for them to go into devices stuff, rather than making their stuff so relevant that device vendors (Android/iOS) can't ignore. At the moment they can because they got good enough competitor solutions.
Well, they probably want to be able to update them as things change without waiting so many weeks on a ticket to central IT. I can't imagine they're doing anything unique though, so the best of both worlds could be central IT providing tools and managed hosting.
Unclear to me whether that comment is sarcastic or not. I'd vote for the former, but many purchasers don't.
Static typing only increases bug count when devs who can't be bothered writing proper code cast stuff willy nilly/hack the code into working rather than put the effort in to growing and pruning the type system as needed. At least from what I've seen.

But even then that's only as bad as not using any types at all, the statement that statically typed languages create more bugs is just plain ridiculous - there's a reason that space-faring agencies and defence contractors exclusively use statically typed languages with very strong rulesets on how code is written.

US rail roads just exploit old ifrastructure and contunually break it down further while cutting everything out that isnt perfect. They also externalize lots of cost on society with constant derailing and constant blocking of passenger rail.

Their insistance on only high margin delivery, directly leads to simply more trucks on the road. They cut out things that are profitble but not profitable enougth. Their profit could literally pay for a full scale electrification program.

Given how perfect the US is for railroading and how there is barley any passenger rail, the US stats in context are not impressive. Just looking at tye Soviet Union in comparison.
This is what happens when Product Managers don't understand the technologies they are working with.
Nah - the alternative is choosing software that is stable and open.

Not some crazy "not made in house - gonna code it myself" crap... that seems like some weird personal thing.

Approach software as a set of tools, with the expectation that you must learn and master its use, but then you will be functional and productive for a long time.

That's what stand-alone installers or self-hosted alternatives are. They require more learning, but they don't sell you out, close down, jack up the price, or turn off features because it's "not generating new users".

They also don't randomly rework the UI nearly as often because "if it's not shiny we can't sell it".

But they do require more work and learning up front. For me, at least... that tradeoff is a clear and easy win.

Good software is like good woodworking tools - hard to master, but very productive once you're there. SaaS is always the opposite: Super easy to start, incredibly frustrating to be a power user.

Saas doesn't want power users - it wants more subscriptions.

Nobody should trust a FAANG let alone GAI with their most intimate thoughts.
I think this is the perfect example. Sure, americans make more money, but we spent _way_ more on the biggies (education, healthcare, childcare, ...). I have the unfortunate situation having to witness europeans in my family lead a much more relaxed life, with a much lower recurring baseline cost.

It would also explain something a little paradoxical imho. Home cost, relative to income, can be incredibly high in Western Europe (10:1 ratios, similar to the coasts here are pretty normal there). How?!?! Yet, people carry it with no problem. Housing (owning) really the only biggie there. All their other disposable income is gravy.
That's good, imagine those people roaming the streets instead..
I think the term is being human. There's probably a subset of employees that are motivated by doing something positive and new at their job which takes up a good portion of their life. It's fun to create things.

You see it in other apps as well. Things like the new Slack changes where I've yet to hear of anyone who asked for or liked them.

What would be better is if companies gave that need to create a better outlet than changing things for 100s of millions of people.
Hence this being a proxy measurement. But managers really want a way to measure "developer productivity", and the feeling is that proxy measurements are better than nothing, even though they aren't.

(Two simple examples: (1) how do you measure the productivity of a lead developer who spends much of his time mentoring, pairing, and helping the team deliver working code? (2) Is a developer who commits many small PR's "worth more" to the company than a developer who commits fewer, larger PR's?)

Speaking as a freelancer myself, I would be kicking myself if I were in your shoes, but I think its a bit tasteless to go back and ask for royalties now. I'd keep this option in mind for similar systems you plan on building (or if you sell the system to someone else and make it a subscription platform.)
We already have paperclip maximizer problem.
If I recall correctly though, Obama won the peace prize shortly after winning the election and ran from a much more doveish platform than he governed from.

They did. Developers just chose to use it on abstractions rather than making faster apps...

They are a lot more compatible than people like to admit.

Both have a strong ethos towards promoting individual liberty, and generally agree somewhat on the approach that an individuals rights have a “limit” when they infringe on the rights of another person.

The main difference seems to be that a lot of libertarians take a strictly individualistic approach, whereas anarchists tend to prefer a mutualism approach.

Honestly, if you explain both in neutral terms to someone, they sound almost the same with minor differences.
> This appears in Rust’s APIs as futures needing to be Send, which can be difficult for people with a poor view of their system’s state to figure out the best way to ensure. This is why work-stealing is said to be “harder.”

Is it just me or does this come across as rather arrogant? The problem of 'static lifetimes and send/sync constraints resonates among developers, and my impression is not that those were morons.
>She's even done free/low cost work for cash-strapped clients just so that she can work.

I've done this a few times when otherwise finding work was proving hard. I think I might share the same weird mental hurdle as your wife. If I can find even 1 person who wants something I think I can prototype for them, I'm happy to do it. But making things purely for myself? Why?
Can someone point to the problem? It’s not like chips and soda are the primary recommendations. Unless PepsiCo is getting into veggies?
I was going to comment on the same quote.

The problem is that one may still want concurrency even when a single thread on a single CPU is enough.
Thirty years ago, I was twelve, and just coming to the IBM PC from the Tandy CoCo 3.

The Rainbow magazine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rainbow_(magazine)) ceased publication that year, which I was very bummed about.

At that early age, coming from the CoCo (which booted straight into a BASIC interpreter in less than a second) the thing that wierded me out the most about DOS was that it was not a REPL or interpreter for any language. It felt really weird to have to start up GWBASIC or QBASIC separately. I did eventually get used to it though.

Not long after this I called Microsoft on the phone somehow, deepened my voice as far as it would go to sound older, and got myself signed up as a beta tester for Windows 95.
GA and external CDNs require cookie banner/consent under GDPR (which is still valid in UK AFAIK). So that alone should be reason enough to avoid it.

But you can never be sure: very recently, I'm seeing (unnecessary) popups coming up informing me about the site not using cookies! To make up for the phantom pain of not having one in EU where "real" sites do have cookie dialogs? The web and its self-referential UI idioms have become a strange place indeed.
> no, it won't move your memory around into larger areas every time you call it. Most of the time it will simply bump up the allocation end point. This happens more frequently than you think.

I just tried some simple "I want to grow my block of memory" test cases. A malloc of 1000 bytes couldn't be increased by a single byte without being moved to a new location. An allocation of 1 million bytes couldn't be increased by 1% without being moved to a new location.

Reddit's new UI is a complete trash fire and has reliably been so since day 1. As a developer myself it is very hard for me to call others incompetent because I can definitely feel the pain of serving millions of daily users and working under some idiot product managers especially for a social media app... but even so I have no qualms about calling the reddit dev team as a whole utterly incompetent after botching their web AND android front ends for almost a decade and making mistake after user hostile mistake and not even making the app stable in the process. Reddit good down almost weekly in some form or another and seeing the "you bwoke weddit sowwy" page has been consistent
> On average they consume about twice the memory of a fixed array of the same size.

Not to split hairs, but that’s just the “unfreed” memory overhead.

If you have 2^n+1 elements, you’ve provisioned 2^(n+1) slots and leaked ~2^(n+1) on top, making the actual overhead there closer to 4x.

I think that means the average overhead is more like 3x (sometimes 4x, sometimes 2x).
I couldn’t tell because many people make arguments (or imply) that it doesn’t matter with an apparently straight face all the time! Including large scale gov’t programs.

Including other comments on this exact thread where people did exactly that.
Why do they suddenly need an extra chip for this?, is the BCM2712 stagnating on features?
I'm going to avoid derailing into a "tech has these problems", respectfully, as I think the core of the post is really worthwhile and I could talk about tangentially related things for too long and be too distracting. I think we are likely, overall, in agreement.
