Nah, the majority of people like and want to be able to go anywhere whenever they want. It’s nice to have nice cities and nice public transport but you don’t need to get rid of cars for that.

Some people have a weird fixation on having everyone live in giant cities with giant buildings with as much density as possible. That would bring its own issues and then you’d end up spending huge resources to try to fix those issues instead of maintaining the road infrastructure that gives people freedom.

Like at a FAANG? That's easily the fastest and lowest risk path to financial security.
First, I'm easily distracted.

But, the real issue in working on something, for myself, that is engaging, and pushing back the "WTH are you wasting time on this for?". It's all very fleeting.

It's not like I have some other burning passion to work on instead, some "if you do this you'll make lots of money instead of those toys you make thing". I don't.

But, especially being older, it can be a trick at times to persevere, not say "F it" and fire up "distraction du jour" (HN, YT, video game, etc.).

My recent project, that I actually released, documentation, cross platform installers, and everything, took a year of calendar time (but not a year of effort, it was idle for some months). It felt good to get it out, put it in the hand of other (I think only one person has actually used it). But, that actually doesn't deter me (sure, I'd like folks to use things, that's why I finished the project to make it, ideally, easy to pick up).

But, still, there are those times when that hopelessness of "why bother" creeps in and takes the wind out of my sails.

There's some incongruity here: college admissions are by no means fair, but they also don't evaluate for nearly the same things as Google's hiring process does.

Put another way: colleges aren't qualified or equipped to make the kinds of determinations that Google does when hiring engineers, and being hired as a Google engineer prior to going to college isn't any particularly strong signal that you're prepared to go to a specific school.

I sympathize with his situation, but I think treating college acceptances as a foregone conclusion based on demonstrated engineering prowess is an error.

Good for them. I am however, confused by the list of accomplishments, one of which is "wrote tests".

I like the concept a lot, but I also think it should filter to only installable apps by default. If you detect a user is on a mobile device, it would probably also make sense to enable the mobile filter by default too.

It would also be nice if there was an offline-capable filter as well, but maybe I missed it?

I also notice the Developer tab is not part of the PWA, which kicks you out of the PWA experience on iOS, even though it seems like that marketing page could be contained within the tab? It might also be nice to link to resources for getting started on developing a high quality PWA, if any resources like that exist.

Now that PWAs on iOS can finally show notifications (if the user wants), I hope more developers will take them seriously. I trust browser isolation more than I trust native app isolation, and a lot of the native apps that I use would work perfectly as a PWA.

It's my opinion that Rust's safety model is flawed by way of being too rudimentary. It can only guarantee safety against a subset of memory issues, and actively locks you out of using programmatic techniques which are often necessary in high-performance contexts without introducing unsafe code into your codebase. ATS[1] takes a different approach, much more broad in its ability to ensure safety, by enforcing a notion of logical safety in arbitrary contexts. It's essentially a cutting edge type system tacked onto C, what you see is what you get, and the safety constructs don't impose any structural restrictions on your code. Memory safe pointer arithmetic, page table manipulation, etc. All checked for correctness at compile time thanks to the type system. If you cannot prove your code works, it will not compile.

I don't actually care that much for ATS. It's a highly experimental and unwieldy. There are very silly design decisions sprinkled about and it's far more complex and kitchen-sink than it needs to be. A bizarre academic vision more than anything else, but one that has a lot of important points to make. To me, ATS represents what we should be looking for in a safe systems language much more than Rust.

I know the general reaction to the idea of languages that require you to write proofs is revulsion at what it requires out of the programmer. My response to this is simple; safe code must be written with time taken to sit down and think through the problem domain, mapping it out and working off of explicit proof. Without this, our efforts to create "safety" are akin to taping a tarp over a hole in the wall and calling it a repair. Safety is important, and that's why half-measures are unacceptable.

University of Texas, which one? if it's UT Austin then its CS program has been top 10 in the nation for quite a long time, so, good college CS program did admit him.

SAT 1590 is nothing for MIT or CMU or things like that though, esp for male students with Asian names, you need way more than just a great SAT score and a perfect GPA, a lot more indeed.

The high bar on Asian male for good universities just made them even stronger academically, with internet and free job market nowadays, nothing can stop a smart and determined mind, and they might actually have saved a lot of money because some colleges rejected them based on their ethnicity.

> Shortly after he turned 18, Google hired him as an L4 software engineer, a position typically offered to candidates with multiple years of professional experience as well as a college degree.

L4 is the entry level for Google's SWE position, and Google absolutely hires SWEs straight out of college (no professional experience). A Google SWE without a college degree is more rare but I know a few. I'd never heard of an 18-year-old landing a full-time Google SWE position, though. Congratulations to him!

edit: sorry, got mixed up, entry level is L3. Thanks for the correction.

I was recently trying out Node's newish test runner [1] but wanted better error reporting and was grateful that Node provided an API that let me use any TAP-compatible error reporter. I did find unfortunately that most error reporters I tried seemed to have problems, the most common one was not reporting whether or not a test was skipped, which was a deal-breaker. In the end I settled for tap-mocha-reporter [2] since it worked well enough. I did have to end up patching it to not print extraneous new lines, I suspect an artifact of it using YAML for its internal representation. I do wish there was an error reporter that mimicked exactly the format of Jest, as it's what I'm most used to.

Any profession of system design whose failure mode is “people die” would better serve a culture that abhors preventable deaths if governed by the same licensure, liability, professional ethics and independent verification used by electrical and structural engineering. I don’t make any distinction between hardware and software, but this article happens to be about software, so that’s what we’re discussing.
> Pretty much every single civilized nation out there knows that the answer is socialized healthcare.

The problem most don't recognize when thinking that this is the solution is that solutions are not universal. In the US, this would not work at all. One cannot compare what works in, say, Finland with the same solution in the US.

Why?

Because, in the US, our government has devolved into a complete disaster. Everything they touch is a mess. And so, the reason for which lots of people reject the idea of government-run healthcare in the US, is a well-justified lack of trust in government.

It's as simple as that.

I know this might not be easy to understand from a perspective external to the US. I get it. Yet, that's our reality.

I'll give you a personal example that is directly related to healthcare:

Obama went on TV dozens of times repeating the same thing regarding his proposed health insurance system:

"If you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor."

"if you like your healthcare plan, you'll be able to keep your healthcare plan"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44kyHOPEZV8

Well, before Obamacare (ACA) was forced on us, my family was spending $600 per month on excellent health insurance with a reasonable deductible. We liked it and were happy with it.

After having to transition into Obamacare, it went up to $1800 per month with a deductible of $9K per year.

In other words, the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, dozens of times, made a promise to the nation and, as soon as he got his law approved that promise meant nothing. We went from spending approximately $10K per year on health insurance to over $30K.

Why would anyone with two working neurons connected together ever trust the US government with healthcare? Why? They are incompetent and lie to us.

Sure, the idea of socialized medicine sounds wonderful. Not here. If we had that here it would be an absolute shit-show. It's scary to think about how horribly wrong something like that could go.

So, yeah, I am with you. Just not here. No way. This isn't Europe, not even close.

EDIT:
Watch that video and read the comments. There's a comment --not mine-- that confirms what happened to my family. I know lots of people who were equally affected. It reads:

"As soon as Obamacare kicked in, they said my healthcare plan did not meet the requirements of Obamacare. So, I had to get a comparable plan where monthly premiums tripled, the coverage went down, and out-of-pocket/deductibles went up. That promise was not kept."

Government-run medicine in the US? No. Please. No.
No, you’re making an unstated bogus assumption somewhere but I’m not sure which one.

I went to a small rural high school in the 1980s. Taught myself to code, started a business writing software, entered and won the regional science fair and placed second in the CS division of the International Science and Engineering Fair in 1987. Won a prestigious NASA internship, got glowing letters of recommendation from my NASA mentors. Took every AP class available to me (all both of them). Graduated third in my class.

Also played on the varsity basketball team, was an Eagle Scout, and served in my church.

Oh, and scored 1460 on the SAT and 34 on the ACT.

And I got turned down flat by MIT and waitlisted by Yale. Actually, MIT turned me down twice, once for undergrad and again for grad school.

I also ended up at the University of Maryland, and had the time of my life there. And I've had a wildly successful career, which occasionally means I fund MIT professors.

It's a crap shoot. I'd love to know what happened when the MIT admissions board looked at my resume, because as a rational exercise I don't get that decision.

These companies (ShiftKey, Clipboard) are not acting as agents for long term 1099 contractors at a hospital or other health care facility. They are filling shifts for as little as a day at a time at a moment's notic. Quality of care is atrocious because you never know the quality of the health care worker and the health care worker may not have the necessary training to do the job required of them. Bottom line is the problem is not 1099 work or workers, it's that these garbage "gig economy" rent seeking companies are treating the health care profession as if they were picking up day laborers in a Home Depot parking lot.
