For most of my career I opportunistically cleaned up tech debt without being asked, because I wanted to. I felt ownership. Now that I'm in a Jira-based job with micromanagement and no autonomy I don't do a single thing I don't have to do.

Discretionary effort used to be the bread and butter of my career. Now the bureaucratic and social project management overhead required for any change makes things too annoying to be worth doing if I don't have to. I don't care if the product works long term, I don't care if the company succeeds long term, I just do my tickets until I find the next job.
> no way I am going to write openapi spec

I don't get the stubbornness here. OpenAPI is not hard??? It's just JSON schema + some routes and effectively conveys the same information as a GraphQL schema, possibly more if you're not using custom directives and such.

> Then each side takes the contract and go implement the frontend and the backend and it just works

This is not unique to GraphQL. There's almost zero difference between programming to an OpenAPI spec vs a GraphQL schema - they're both API interface definitions.
If they had experience brain death they wouldn’t be here talking to you.

> Death is the permanent end of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. It is no longer defined as the cessation of heartbeat (cardiac arrest) and breathing, as CPR and prompt defibrillation can sometimes restart both. In modern medicine, when a definition of the moment of death is required, doctors and coroners usually turn to "brain death" or "biological death" to define a person as being dead; brain death being defined as the complete and irreversible loss of brain function (including involuntary activity necessary to sustain life).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness_after_death#Deat...

TL;DR - you don’t come back from actual death, or you didn’t actually die. There’s no coming back from all biological function ending.
Really good point. There's a big difference in checking HN in the 10 minutes between meetings vs spending 4 hours after noon reading and replying to threads.
Yes. I got fitted for a mouth guard by my dentist, which I wear to sleep at night. My tinnitus was caused by grinding/clenching my teeth.

You can try to patent anything, but patent might not be accepted.

The thing is that patent office is funded by patent fees, so there is an incentive to accept the patent plus they are often hard to read.
You went from "I find it inconvenient" to "they're masochistic cultists" pretty quickly there. Ad hominem attacks are against site policy.

You've spawned a huge thread of people being incredibly self-righteous about the mind-boggling difficulty of sending email. It makes me think that it's actually a great filter to keep out people who prefer drama to clicking a few buttons that are different than the buttons they're used to clicking.

I understand that familiarity is a powerful driving force in human psychology, but really, it's not like it's that hard to learn a different flow. I mean, I've had to use Perforce, and while it's fun to complain, it really wasn't that hard. I didn't even have to get out of my chair.

We don't know the workings of tinnitus, so tinnitus itself is in the realm of "magic", so there is likely not going to be objective solutions.

However, people still have to live with it, and it causes stress. What are you going to do, nothing, just because there's no treatment that lives up to the standards of hackernews readers?

The statement that there is no permanent relief or treatment is false, and it's delivered with the same confidence as some of the snake oil advice.
This is amazing! After playing my first game, I feel immediately inspired to think about the relationships among the tiles / positions. Maybe I'll try to write some kind of solver as a learning exercise.

I noticed that there is an option to download the puzzle as JSON, and I tried it. Can you tell us what the schema is? I see there's a key called `tiles` that has a value of an object mapping ints to other ints. What do those ints represent? I figure since there are 36 tiles, they key int is the tile number, but what about the value? I think this info would be valuable for programmatically solving these puzzles.

Once again, great work! I have a feeling this will be a big hit, possibly of Wordle-like proportions.
I was really hoping the tech giants would be able to transform live TV as opposed to offer the same experience for (now) the same price.
Yeah, but that diligence takes time, and now you have to work on extra hours to keep up performance metrics with the rest of the team.

Cord-cutting (still get Internet from the cable company) has saved me a fair bit of money after I realized that I could go a month without watching a live broadcast or a show recorded on my TiVo. But you pretty much only get significant cost savings today if you're willing to do mostly without live TV 100% or jump through some hoops for a rare exception.

In spite of the occasional annoyance, I'm fine with it but I realize a lot of people wouldn't be--especially for sports.
How does this compare to other stat libraries?
There were clones of 8080, Z80 and 8086. The KR580VM80A - an 8080 clone was the most popular/accessible in the USSR I think.

The U880 was a Z80 clone, Soviet designation KR1858VM1, but most of the early-mid 1980s 8-bit home-built machines were 580- and thus 8080-based.

Remember, these are politicians. What they do doesn't have to make sense or be possible. All they have to do is pass laws. If it makes everyone a criminal that's good. The law just won't be enforced unless you rock the boat. Much like with the CFAA in the USA or GDPR in Europe.
> You probably should blame the people which made the game?

No, why, when there is a working alternative available. Why should they waste money and resources on this if they could just make the game better overall instead, or maybe just pour the money saved into wine/proton somehow, which benefits not just their game but every Windows game.

> We face the same issue on Windows, too. Low quality ports from console to Windows (e.g. The last of us). So it is more about appropriate ports.

Well yes and no. If the windows port sucks too, just use an emulator a few years down the line.

And funnily enough, wine is even more future proof for Windows games than Windows itself. You can find a lot of stories about old Windows games from the XP era and earlier that won't run on 10, but work fine with wine on current Linux.

Regarding quake 3, I can also still run the windows version of the original release on Linux, and in that case don't even need to care about OSS or anything because wine just does that for me. And sure, I'd rather play a popular modern fork of the original game since as you say, the source code is available, but my point is entirely about closed source games where we'll never see the code. If I'm dealing with a black box binary, I don't see what I'd gain even with a well made Linux port over the game running just as well under proton.
It's likely somehow a reference to the Emperor. Purple cloth was extremely rare and expensive, and it was the colour worn by the Emperors. Indeed, it eventually became a capital crime for people outside the Emperor's family to wear it. I don't know if that was yet true at the time of Vesuvius, although Wikipedia claims Caligula may have had someone killed for wearing purple.
Not a cure, but mine naturally fades a bit if I avoid exposure to further loud noises by carrying earplugs. And I check sound levels sometimes with an iphone app - anything touching 100db, it's the earplugs.

Not specific to this, but can we just rename the "European Union" to "Big Government" at this point? It feels like every month there is something else the EU is trying to be a nanny for and it is starting to feel like they're moving towards becoming something in the vein of what China does to their citizens and internet.
“Think of the children” is, as usual, just to get the foot in the door. They use it as a justification, because it works.

Of course CSAM is bad, shouldn’t we do everything in our power to prevent it? If you implement client-side scanning, you will catch some rookies. Some old pervs that don’t know how to use encryption manually, or use Matrix. They will use them to show how effective the system is…

with the exception that it doesn’t work against anyone who knows anything about computers. And I think the regulators know it, they aren’t dumb (imo). It’s, like I said earlier, an excuse to expand the scope of scanning later.
Staying in a place where everything is stacked against your excellency will mean you will not gain excellency. Whether just bringing some money home is enough for you is only up to you, but then don't complain that you can't do anything nice, it's just whining at that point. Saying all that I don't condemn people for working in boring shitty places. At least typically they try their best anyway and make world a better place bit by bit.
I'm sure you can find a compromise in the middle of "Mostly follow some vague rules, but when they lead you to what seem to be negative outcomes think about whether it's because you don't enjoy doing the moral thing, or if it's because actually it's led somewhere unpleasant and you need a new rule for this situation."
This comment misunderstands how liq pref works. Liq pref is about the amount of money invested ($175M), not about the valuation. At a $975M exit and a par-for-the-course liq pref of 1.0, it is very likely that all shareholders will have made money on the exit.
Android 10 stopped receiving security updates in February...

Android 11 is a year older... so it probably still has a few months to go. Months. On a new device. And it seems unlikely they're going to upgrade between android versions if they're running a 3 year old OS on release.
I have an app with my scale and I weigh every morning, the numbers never make sense but the trends do. Like over a whole month I see not only weight loss but other metrics that may be deviating.
> ... which has led to record inflation...

Easy to see you weren't around in the 1970s. This isn't record inflation. It's not even close.
Have you considered pricing the first batch at EUR 4000 each? :)

To quote myself[0] from too long ago:

"Very rarely will someone tell you that you're not charging as much for something as you should (perhaps with the exception of patio11 because he wants us all to make more money :) ) but generally there's always someone who will say something costs too much."

Due to a number of factors (including some past experience with hardware development & a recognition that most people purchasing low volume hardware do not have a realistic perspective on the costs involved) one of my hobbies is suggesting low volume hardware developers consider increasing their prices in order to potentially create a more financially sustainable business over the long term. (An outcome which is both better for the developer & their customers.)

Of course, such suggestions cost me nothing (as I don't currently have the disposable income either way) and their worth can be valued at the price you paid for them. :)

(And if @jacquesm advises you otherwise, I'd advise ignoring me. :D )

On the other hand if you decide to increase the price by even EUR 100 and you still sell out the batch, well, "it's free real estate" as they say...

Anyway, the prototype unit you demo in the SOS video looks really slick, so, nice work. :)

In case it's helpful here is a link dump[1] of various hardware-related manufacturing/pricing resources I've collected over the years, in rough suggested reading priority order:

* Case study of mechanical keyboard kits and "Vickrey auction as price discovery mechanism": https://kevinlynagh.com/notes/pricing-niche-products/

* Advice via "co-founder & former CEO of Contour" action camera company (esp. excellent section on pricing): https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-build-a-hardware-startup?v...

* "Hardware by the Numbers (Part 2: Financing + Manufacturing)": https://blog.bolt.io/hardware-financing-manufacturing/

* "Will Your Hardware Startup Make Money?": https://blog.bolt.io/make-money/

The more VC-funded startup focused info may be less directly applicable to your situation but still has value.

Also, if you haven't already I'd suggest looking into the journey of the Synthstrom Deluge[2] (& maybe contacting them) as it seems to share some characteristics with you & your product in terms of market, pricing & team size. (I'm familiar with it primarily from meeting some of the team early-ish in their journey due to living in the same city at the time.)

Hope some of this is of use & either way, best wishes for the journey ahead!

To be fair, the headline doesn't say US dollars, and both the name and symbol were taken from the Spanish dollar, which was not unknown to Columbus.
The problem is you most likely introduced new bugs, created new build/test toolchains, and your team knew the previous codebase, probably quite well.

I have never in my professional career seen a solo developer rewrite something from scratch successfully in isolation. It almost always turns into the developer leaving, either because they became burnt out being the sole SME, or it fluffed their resume enough for them to find a new job. Everyone else on the team is left holding the bag.

I'm actually more surprised your manager/PM let you do this. Most of the time this happens as a skunkworks thing.

Rewrites should always be incremental, never big bang, and never in isolation.
Ugh, I didn't realize that.
This law or proposal is so fundamentally absurd, instead of the EU or member states coming up with a proposal like Frontex but for hosting a centralized CSAM + other horrible potentially illegal images/links/videos hash/identifiers, where anyone with a website can pay lets say 20€ a month to access the API to scan images/links/videos instead it has to be the most dumbest "private market will regulate it" which effectively means, everything and anyone has to be scanned.
The twelve factor app says:
A twelve-factor app never concerns itself with routing or storage of its output stream. It should not attempt to write to or manage logfiles. Instead, each running process writes its event stream, unbuffered, to stdout. During local development, the developer will view this stream in the foreground of their terminal to observe the app’s behavior.

That guidance is deeply foolish; I have to assume the rest of the guidance is just as silly for anything but a toy application.
As with most topics in software engineering I'd say you will be have to keep learning as you go. They keep coming out with larger models that require fancier parallelism and faster data pipelines. Nvidia comes out with a new thing to accelerate inference every year. Want to use something else than Nvidia? Now you need to learn TPU, Trainium, Meta Accelerator (whatever its name is).

Every powerbank vendor I've seen gives the battery rating at 3.6/3.7V, so USB implying 5V gives us misleading values. So a 20,000mAh powerbank is 20*3.6V=72Wh, not 20*5=100Wh.

I've never seen a vendor that specifies 3.6V, the best you can hope for is that they give mAh and Wh so you can derive it yourself. If we need the Wh rating to keep the mAh rating honest, the mAh becomes redundant before the Wh does.
I am a fan of Ikea lights.
I can use normal light switches to turn the light on/off.
But I also have a remote and I can dim the lights or change the temperature.
No hub needed. The price is low enough.
And Ikea will probably stay in business a long time.
If it was that simple then Microsoft should have known it was coming and maybe even changed the numbers in the document.

Photo Sphere was great for posting to Facebook, which would allow users to pan around the image.

And I imagine some people were using it to post 360-degree panoramas to Google Maps.

It wasn't perfect, sure, but it was good enough. I don't know why they would remove this.
Thats interesting, at a glance the TRC thing looks more altruistic and impactful than what I had in mind for learning or making money. I'll have to keep it in mind if I do, do something share worthy ever. Thanks!
Well, it’s relevant: Atlassian launched a paid issue tracker in 2003 when the open-source Mantis was all the rage.

There is always room for a smooth paid service compared to the rough free one. Android and Linux vs twice-more-expensive Apple.

Synfuel for now is super expensive, the one use case that makes sense that I have seen is an aircraft carrier making jet fuel from nuclear fuel.

Health and fitness are different things. Elite athletes are generally doing great harm to their long term health.

Pick 10,000 random people from each time period. 2023 would probably win a tug of war. Increased heigh and obesity not being as detrimental as being under weight.

Cardio would presumably go to 1923. However what percentage of people could walk 1 mile could go either way. Someone that’s paralyzed can’t do it but someone that’s fat need to be motivated.

I don't doubt the registration hesitancy, but isn't it ultimately in pet owners' interest to have a record of their pets' rabies vaccines?

> Not vaccinating against rabies could lead to your dog dying if they get infected – or in some cases – if they bite someone, Teller from Texas A&M says: "There is a real likelihood that animal control could euthanize your dog and test it for rabies because human health is going to supersede animal health at that point," she says.

IIRC rabies testing in animals requires a necropsy... so if your dog bites someone and there's no proof that you vaccinated them, they might get put down and their brain dissected.
You want craftsmanship? Pay for it and make time for it. Too many companies claim to want that but are both unwilling to pay top dollar and then don't provide enough time to actually do it.
It sounds like Aurornis was not, in fact, trying to hire people at the entry level.

Most companies doing regular, non-ML development hire a mix of junior and experienced engineers, with the latter providing code reviews, mentorship and architectural advice alongside normal programming duties.

It's understandable that someone kicking off a new ML project would hope to get the experienced hires on board first.

But there are a lot more junior people on the market than senior people right now - as is the nature of a fast growing market.
I thought what I said was common knowledge on HN, it was last time I was in one of these discussions a few years ago. But something seems to have changed, I guess the "use ml library" jobs drowned out the others by now and that colored these discussions.
The funny thing is that burnout can still happen regardless of how much compensation somebody gets.
Sometimes I wonder if criminals aren't as lazy and prone to just using what's popular as the rest of us.

How often do communications done through a wide variety of channels that wouldn't satisfy a cypherpunk from email to Whatsapp show up on evidence before court, even if the people involved knew that they could end up in court? Weren't a bunch of criminals fooled by a literal FBI phone?
Content is king. And you can't even neatly excise sports content from everything else. If you can live without most live content, you really do have good, albeit fragmented, alternatives. But it does require giving up live TV.
"The National Advertising Division (NAD) previously ruled in Charter's favor"

HaHa! Google got kicked in the NAD[s]! Imagine that. A company having to respect the "truth in advertising" concept. Calling a company out by name with out-dated (at best) or flat out inaccurate information is ballsy, for which they deserved to get kicked squarely in for flaunting the rules everyone else plays by.
yeah I never suggested that heroku invented environment variables, and the idea that environment variables weren't common knowledge before heroku came along is ... let's say at best revisionist.

"Charter contended the $600 figure was inaccurate, arguing that its Spectrum TV Select service in Los Angeles only cost around $219 a year more than Google's YouTube TV service," according to a MediaPost article in August.

I always thought Select was considerably less than $73/mo, but just going to their site, I see that it's $59.99/mo (for 12 mos). So I guess it's jacked up after that first year.

I would have settled for "$600 less than most cable"
