People should devote a little time to learning about money and business as they do with programming or any other ability they have.

If you believe that "Money is a dirty word" you should check your social environment and make friends that do not have those limiting beliefs so you could support each other. Creating a support group of people like you(developers) is a great idea.
You get all of this by choosing Kotlin or Scala.

im big on the UK continuum - it gets a lot of UK Bass music from boiler room sets - all the time. My music tastes are very obscure...and it works incredibly well for me. I dont know about techno/house.
I don't remember if it was this one, but Confluence had a pre-login vulnerability a while back that was actively exploited on DI2E, which had been the DoD's largest unclassified system, used as a collaboration and platform layer for all defense and intelligence projects that didn't have their own isolated environment, ironically only a couple months before it was scheduled to sunset anyway. They had to lock and bring down their entire data center for months before they could be sure everything was clean, and all defense projects that didn't have their planning data backed up somewhere else just lost it that entire time. And we'll never know how many programs that were considered sensitive but not enough to be classified had planning data compromised or by whom.

The only reason Atlassian hasn't totally lost the entire US government at this point is inertia and the remaining influence of however many thousands of agile consultants and project managers out there just love Jira and don't want anyone to move their cheese.
Could you please explain? You say you don't know if it's better or worse for refactoring and then you say it's detection of symbols is like a random number generator? How so?
A very real pain, especially in my experience with commercial lending.

Do you cater to more complex credit products like loans to support acquisitions? These often require servicing of multiple companies in a group. This multi-entity requirement is where my frustrations are most acute, the lenders I work with catering to this more niche market.

Edit - UK based direct lending, but I’m sure the same is relevant to some extent in the US
True. What will happen though is that these regions will suffer from stagnating (or even declining) productivity and anaemic growth. Farms will produce less so more energy will be used on fertilizers and irrigation. Everything will have to be air conditioned - more energy expenditure. At an individual level, productivity will drop off as people deal with the heat and humidity.

Personally, living in India, I’ve watched my summers become worse and worse every year. And while I have no way to measure it, my productivity keeps going down with it in the summer.

you should. Your server uptime is a necessity, the less bloat on it the better. If this was in Java I'd probably balk. No, no you should absolutely care what's on your server and even what language it's in.
I suspect that in the future, regulation of online things will lower the profits available to websites like this.

They should have to pay a shit load of insurance if dealing in this type of business with lots of personal data.

>Unless you can turn them off?

Then the background tasks need to run on the performance cores slowing down your main workload.

> Then why pollute the die with these?

That's partially the point - they're much much smaller than P cores physically. So if you can move some non-critical stuff off the P cores at a very low die space cost then that's a win.

...all of which assumes correct & intelligent scheduling which I gather isn't always the case

This does not have anything to do with my comment. I was replying to someone who is basing his claim on what the White House says. Which is proven that it spread misinformation and claims based on false evidence (or even lack of it at all) before, so it is not a trustworthy source in itself. Although that, Biden is saying that the other side is responsible for the hospital attack [1].

My single most important thing when starting is Don't ignore compiler warnings. Aim for zero warnings. Not always practical, but definitely investigate each one and be sure it doesn't apply in your case
I know there are nightmare stories from open source main-trainers, but are they actually an issue on smaller projects that are build for your own consumption?

We have an ODATA client package for node that’s publicly available and has seen an increasing number of downloads for whatever reason. It surely must be people who are crazy since we make breaking changes all the time with absolutely no regard for anyone who might use it. Which is sort of my point, we don’t even have a place where people can complain or even contact us, it’s only on the public NPM because it’s free. Once we eventually move away from ODATA it’ll be completely abandoned. Now my point here isn’t so much that you should do this, but it’s that you can. Unless you’re actually working to get adoption you don’t have to give any care to your “community”.

this is usually heavily weighted by consumer basket, meaning China has cheap rice, clothes and basic services, but PPP for oil, cars, aircrafts, ships, industrial machinery will be equal.

True. I think there’s an argument to be made that a market which seeks AI-generated content of specific people isn’t exactly looking for basic entertainment.

If traditional adult content isn’t stimulating enough that you need to seek fake video of $CELEBRITY, then that’s a pretty solid indicator that there’s a problem

I’d say that 95% of open-source is made by normal people like you and me, not by companies. Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/2347/
I don't disagree with you. I think it's a strange case where the tech-smart "code is law" proponents really think, in their minds, that it's invincible "because encryption!", and every time a new heist/scam occurs they dig their heels in deeper and say "that's different, it wasn't the _crypto_ that failed..."

Even if it wasn't for elaborate rug-pulls, you could still lose everything to an evil-maid with a $5 key logger. That is just untenable.

You know its funny because almost all academic advancement has not been in a capitalist system.
Cover a workmans truck roof in solar, and you'll only get 1-2 kWh per day in good weather.

Thats nowhere near enough for a crew of workers using leafblowers - which can be around 1 kw each. Weed wackers and lawnmowers are the same or more.

It is plenty for a crew of builders using impact drivers, drills, screwdrivers, nail guns, etc. though.

However, if the truck is electric, with a 100kWh battery, the 10-20 kWh used by the workers equipment during the day is a pretty small chunk of the total range.
I've not seen a new project started in Java in a decade, and it's pretty far down in the StackOverflow developer survey [1]. Do you have some data to back your claim up?

Agree on the focused UI approach. I plan to continue making the flow increasingly frictionless.
I don't know about that. Geneology has been a hobby for me for a couple decades and I'd say only tech illiterates were willing to trust 23 and me. I've never seen any company I've worked at do well enough with security that I'd trust them with my DNA and with the constant data breaches across the industry with zero consequential penalties, this seems like the norm. Have you ever seen security done right anywhere? In my experience, it's always the bare minimum. Banks are about as close as it gets and that's only because they have higher obligations than most.
What does "Enterprise space" even mean?
That would be a severe underestimation of my persistence on such matters. I held a support case open for nearly a decade at MSFT on Connect. It only got closed because they shut Connect down.

I'm starting to notice that roughly half of the comments on these threads that even lightly touch on the "ecomonmics" of Free and Open Source software are from who think they or their peers are somehow entitled to money and attention just because they put some code on the Internet.

Maybe I'm old-school but I was always under the impression that a paycheck and recognition are things that are earned, not begged-for or guilt-tripped into.

Our HOA requires weekly (during growing season) lawn mowings. So on top of the $450/mo, we also have to fork over $30-50/wk to some maintenance company. They take around 10 minutes to do the entire lawn, mow, edge, weed, and pickup. I cannot complain about the speed, or the cost actually.

My neighbor has a family member come and do their lawn (I offered my guys to them for free, and they turned it down). So every Wednesday or Thursday, for nearly 4 hours, there are various 2-stroke engines going on. It is a HUGE noise, and my home office faces their house so for most of the day I'm having to ask people to repeat themselves because I cannot hear them over the sound of the neighbor's lawn equipment.
The “poor” in capitalist countries have a higher standard of living than medieval kings?

In so far as they have electrical heating, access to global food products, information technology, modern medical care, sure, plenty of people have a “higher standard of living” versus pre-industrialized societies. That’s a trivial statement. It’s vacuous.

Actually, what’s relevant is that the “poor” in any country have to work long, difficult jobs in order to survive. Some people even die or receive brutal injuries at work. And none of them are being compensated enough, because some people — like our version of medieval kings — don’t have to work at all.

In the context of this discussion, we have situations where people can’t afford to do obvious things that benefit themselves and others. I can’t point my finger and say “capitalism did this”, because the whole engine of human relations (economic, social, cultural) is incredibly vast, and capitalism is such a massive, loaded concept.

But I can sincerely say that somewhere along the line in this engine of human relations that there are very glaring issues that should make us question our sense of humanity.

I am not advocating for some massive, state sponsored rewriting of economic relations or technocratically calculated wealth transfers. The former was empirically a disaster in the 20th century. The latter is purely an academic debate. Nor am I saying that we ought to guilt trip people into donating more to support developers working on free projects. That feels manipulative, although making any community more self-sustaining and caring is obviously good.

I don’t know how fruitful parroting one of coldest takes (capitalism made people richer) can be in light of the lived realities of billions of people, working poor, passionate developers, and everyone who isn’t a 21st century robber baron. We are capable of being kinder and more open-minded.

The truth that society is constantly being reorganized every day. Even the shift from feudalism to “capitalism” happened over hundreds of years. In 300 years, people will look back at our current society and give it a name and analysis, because by then we would be living under a different paradigm. However, until then, future is what we make of it. And we could be more empathetic, and more imaginative.

> I also don't think the battery tech is ready to replace riding lawnmowers (which use quieter, more efficient, less polluting 4-stroke engines anyways)

Well that's the law in California starting 2028. And current tech in riding mowers is just nowhere near what pro landscapers need.
If you're still using it, and happy with it, it's NOT outdated...

Just because a manufacturer wants you to use a newer product, doesn't make what you're using "outdated".

Especially in the modern surveilance product marketplace, many many "updates" are really about allowing the vendor to extract more information from you. The products that extract less data aren't "outdated".
Yeah, but why though? Seems like mostly a bandaid for old Java version.

This is an extremely common problem. Worse, Amazon doesn't seem to offer a way for authors to be identified as the legitimate author (ironic since they started as a book store).

On his podcast Michael Bazzell[1] has detailed issues with trying to contact Amazon to report fraudulent copies of his book being sold and getting the reply that Amazon had determined that HE was an impostor trying to take down other impostors to eliminate competition for his pirated content!

Short of Amazon being made to feel real pain in the form of lawsuits with massive judgements this simply won't change. The best an author can do is make noise and hope the din reaches the ears of someone at Amazon who can help. Here's to hoping the OP's post will do that.

I mean given what we know about the Sahara and its wet and dry periods, it doesn’t seem at all illogical that ocean currents should start and stop to match.

I think it’s important to understand that the earth is deeply dynamic and constantly changing, and has incredible variation in often cyclical patterns over hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands of years.

While we know human caused elements are accelerating trends, it’s important to separate the human accelerant from the fact that the Earth herself goes through regular and quite massive changes — that climate change can affect — but that are normal, quite natural and quite civilization and food growing pattern interrupting sized.

We have been in a period of unusual climate stability…

Edit: I’m getting heavily downvoted so I feel the need to clarify, as this comment is not incorrect or even controversial in climate circles. We have experienced rapid changes inside of single human lifetimes many times, and It’s important to be able to talk about science openly without labeling everyone who doesn’t parrot exactly the narrative you expect them to conform to just because it kinda sorta looks like a climate denier even though it isn’t. Very much not what I would expect of the HN crowd.

Here’s a write up:

> Most likely, freshwater delivered from the ice sheet to the North Atlantic periodically disrupted the overturning of the ocean, causing the transport of tropical heat to the north to reduce and then suddenly increase again. While this mechanism is unlikely to occur today’s world, it does show us that, at least regionally, the climate is capable of extraordinary changes within a human lifetime – rapid switches we certainly want to avoid experiencing.

https://www.bas.ac.uk/data/our-data/publication/ice-cores-an...

Further:

> A new study suggests climate conditions in the Sahara Desert have changed from wet to dry about every 20,000 years. The study was carried out by scientists at America's Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT. Findings were published in the journal Science Advances.

https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/study-africa-s-sahara-....

There is precious little discussion of the research on natural climate change and the patterns that man made climate change is enhancing, and it’s very, very important to learn about the natural cycles and how man made climate change changes them.

If that’s worth downvoting simply because it doesn’t align with the Only Allowed NarrativeTM for anything climate related then HN is no longer the discussion platform for reasonably intelligent people it once was and that would be very sad indeed.

My ground-floor Seattle apartment gets flooded with gas smells once a week because of these gas leafblowers. The noise is insufferable and the smell is nauseating. It saddens me as a society we have collectively agreed this is 'worth it' to have the plants by the road get leafblown in the fastest and cheapest possible way, because the health concerns are very real and the alternatives seem possible. But always ignored.
