Wikipedia doesn't cover politically charged topics very well. I mostly edit topics which don't have such a problem.

Even so, I've managed to edit the Derek Chauvin article without any trouble. There's a certain shape of controversy that's painful to get involved with.

Usually it's matters of nationalism. For instance, anything with respect to India is a complicated thing to act on.
Ah, that explains the poorer performance when comparing to AWS or GCP, now it makes sense, thanks!

At least on Mac, you'd assume wrong.

I don't have the slightest idea what "slow" and "fast" pointers are, but you can only drag the parts that aren't buttons.

It's genuinely annoying because every time you want to drag one of these windows, you have to carefully think about moving the pointer to a specific area that is draggable.

I was in the University of Texas back then CS dept (1996). We had some presentations from Red Hat and Microsoft. Microsoft pitch was that Linux was like a doggie under the Christmas Tree. Fun present that will pee all over the place.

For sure, some teams are way better at estimating than others, and I don't think it helps when a team has the attitude that estimates are some sort of corporate bullshit.

No other engineering discipline has this level of immaturity. Sure, estimates in other industries are also notoriously hard, but you don't see this utter disregard for them you see in software. And, I bet you donuts that every "software engineer" here as demanded estimates from other fields and felt angry when they were missed.

"When is that bridge going to be finished?" "When is the road work going to be completed?" "When is my house renovation going to finish?"

Estimates are important. And yes, they are hard, but there is spectrum of skill levels at doing them well.
That was shocking so had to look it up, and it seems to be true.

UN article on it here: https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/events/pdf...
Planning doesn't mean estimation though; we all know it's just guesswork, and basing business decisions on guesswork is madness. On top of that it's a lot of wasted time and effort.

Milestones and projections is a much more constructive approach, simply tracking the number of tasks in your backlog over time will give you an increasingly correct projection of when the project will be finished.

I had a little exposure to punched cards in their dying days, never heard "punch cards". Mind you, ask for a "boxed set" of DVDs or whatever and you get a puzzled look, "You mean the box set?".
That's hilarious

This is never a talking point because it's so detached from normal people life and it's actionable - it's not a good empty promise they can taper cities with and then never fulfill.

The ideal empty promise is something that will take more than 5y to evaluate and people care about.

This is possible, especially on a tech salary. Have you heard of the FIRE movement?
That isn't true either though. Sure, they don't care about it as a first order thing, but they care about development not slowly grinding to a halt over time. And writing well structured code is one of the things the software side of the house does in order to do a better job delivering on that desire from the business. If nobody on the technical side has the credibility or trust to make that case, then that's a problem.
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the latest SE model. Absolutely do not want a phone the size of the new flagship models. Prefer touchid to PIN or faceid, which rules out the minis.
I love your attitude, and I agree that we should be trying to fix this, but the problem is not a lack of signal, it's an increase in noise. Fixing the web means changing it in fundamental ways.

Suppose your webbable hobby is curating trustworthy product reviews. You're the hero that's going to fix the web AND capitalism. You can still do that, but you're going to help fewer people because you have to split your attention between you know, doing the thing, and doing the kind of marketing which helps people tell the difference between your thing and the ones that are secretly ads. Meanwhile, the bad guys can focus entirely on the latter. Sorry about the time you wanted to spend comparing blenders, your hobby is now competing with marketers... Or you have to make peace with either obscurity, or contributing to the thing you're trying to kill, because you know that the second you start making an impact somebody is going to rehost your site interleaved with misinformation.

Yes, let's fix this thing but the answer is protocols with different inherent priorities. We can't shout over the noise, we need to build something less noisy.

My personal view is that we should stop building trust around server names and implicitly trusting whatever those servers send us. In this model the non-content-generating work converges on systems to identify and remove malicious content (either from the server or from the browser screen).

Instead we should be addressing content, and sourcing it from whatever device has a copy and is most near. Our browser should know which people we trust and should make it easy for us to lean on that trust such that we can propagate only the trusted bits in the first place.

That is: stop identifying ads so that we can block them, start identifying trustworthy content so we can all participate in propagating it more efficiently and supporting it's creators.

Or to put it differently: there needs to be no way to spend money to promote content. No third parties injecting bits anywhere. If you notice that kind of shit, you apply annotations which distinguish the signal from the noise and then you propagate only the signal. If people abuse this power, you revoke trust in them and move on.

It'll require an awareness of information hygiene, which will be work to maintain, but all of the alternatives I can see involve tolerating life in a Skinner box
By condo you mean apartment right? Condos are usually just apartments you own.

Apartments are not inherently bad. They allow for density which, if you went through the tour this site provides, you know allows for cheaper public services. I've lived in many great apartments and a few bad ones. It's not the style of building that's bad, it's the owners and the laws they are forced to or not forced to follow.

Suburbs are _heavily_ subsidized. They require a ton of money from taxpayers to sustain their existence. So much so that many North American cities are essentially permanently in a state of insolvency because they can't sustain the infrastructure needed for suburbs. Think about this, for a suburb you have inherently more roads and more distance to cover for things like sewers, power/cable lines, water mains, etc. Plus you just take up more space so suburbs don't tend to be walkable in terms of productive travel. You can walk your dog in a suburb, but if you need groceries you'll be driving. So you pay more for suburbs even if you don't live in them AND they require you to pay for a car which depending on circumstances can total a few thousand dollars a year, especially if you don't have the money to drop on a car that doesn't require a lot of maintenence.

As mentioned in this website, suburbs should always be considered a luxury. The vast majority of people should live in more dense areas. It's better for the environment, personal finances, city economies, physical and social health (ever wonder why Europeans live longer?), etc. If you want to live in a suburb, good for you! But I believe we should fully stop subsidizing them. Start making suburb communities compensate cities financially for the imbalance they impose on our systems.
The majority of them are forced by a person who is organizing them because that's the only "work" that that person is doing.

This a pretty cynical and unproductive way to think of meetings, management, and the essential task of coordinating people's efforts.

Isn't it also your responsibility, increasing with seniority, to make sure that the team's time is used well?
From what I gather, yes, that would work, but no, it wouldn't. Apparently all non FAANG mailservers are one misstep away from being put on all blocklists in perpetuity with minimal chances of appeal.
Yeah, before living where I live now, I lived for a while in an building from the late 1800s. The smaller units were of course added cheaply in modern times, and didn't align well with how it was originally built.

One example is the original thick wooden beams that was the floor went through the unit walls. So they same piece of wood I was walking on was also being walked on by the neighbors. That was a great transmission of vibrations, especially when their kid were playing on the floor hehe.
Which law is being broken here?
This is what I do actually, and it works fairly well. Currently I do one MPI process per socket, but mostly just because the OpenMP code I’m calling is a library, and it doesn’t seem to scale well past one modern Xeon worth of cores.

I don’t know what I’d do if I had an old Zen machine, maybe map an MPI process to each chiplett.

My impression is that in the first generation Zen machines, the cost of communicating from one chiplett to another was really quite significant, but they’ve made good enough progress there that it is only something that the really hardcode folks care about.
This scenario has been the case for more than one brand.

A brand doesn't necessarily have cloud/IoT expertise, so they partner with someone else. Time passes, business crap happens, the partnership fails, and the brand itself is out in the cold along with its customers, not necessarily by any fault of its own.

And now we have the likes of Tuya quietly providing turn-key white-labeled IoT services to a vast ocean of gold rush products flooding Amazon.

Why the dependency on the cloud and the lack of support for HomeKit or Matter in these devices ... I can only speculate.

It's not only browsers though. The OS has a root store which is used by other non-browser apps. I also want my email program not to be susceptible to government MitM attacks. And whatever else I'm running. Apple and Windows could be compelled to limit the degree to which that store is mutable or even visible.

More and more it looks like Linux on the desktop is the only option.

Ask HN: How to organize work to build hard-tech MVP as first time CTO?

Any successful hard-tech startups or even R&D experts here do this before? Of the maybe 8 technical domains our product will use, I'm familiar with maybe 4, so need to balance learning vs doing.

You are also seeing new trends with Zoomers, where they don't 'play' games but have some sort of weird "meta"/"metaverse" around a game like Five Nights at Freddys.

I think it's doomed to fail. If I value stability over features, I will obviously take C89, C99 or some C++ standard.

Besides, we truly need some revolution in system languages, I believe. ATS, F/Low and Rust are really good first tries, but we are not there yet in terms of soundness/completeness optimum. So it will take time and many attempts to develop some truly safe and simple language with resource tracking, generalized compile time computations (i.e. effect/totality tracking and dependent types) and so on.

Not necessarily. They protect exploitation of the some of the workers, but often bring about abuse and host of other problems.
I know it's a distraction and orthogonal to your point, but your statement of a "key fob for your Tesla for $300" is fallacious and incorrect. Tesla uses Phone Key with with the Tesla app as your primary method of unlocking the car, with a $20 NFC card as fallback, and the limit of paired phones is above any practical real-world use. If you want a keyfob as a status symbol, it's $175. (Mine is a desk ornament, it doesn't get used.)

Swap in a more traditional automaker, and your point remains correct.

> whether they can make changes without worrying about breaking things

In my experience no coding standards or cleanliness can prevent this. The only sure way is testing on commit/PR.

EDIT: A common failure mode I've noticed is that people only test the functionality they've added and not other parts of the system that may be affected.
They are acting like organized labor! And all strikes are aimed at individual companies.
I can't see how. New to new, a cheap ICE economy car can still run low $20s and your total fuel costs over 3 years will probably be under $2k. And even a cheaper EV like a Chevy Bolt won't make up the difference. It seems like the gap only gets worse when comparing higher up the price curve hybrids to their EV cousins.
> But I gave it up because counting calories is soul sucking.

In the beginning it certainly is. But once I did it for a while, I found that I had developed a mental understanding for what various foods represented in terms of calories and could navigate it with much less effort. I started with spreadsheets and apps.

IMO much of the value in calorie counting stems from those early weeks where you suddenly realize how many calories each food represents - and relative to that how filling you find them.
> they think technical competence and expertise is what helps someone up the food chain. The truth is it’s who you know not what you know.

Well, technical competence and expertise does not necessarily translate to managerial competence and expertise. It's two distinct skill sets. Getting machines to work is very different than getting people to work.

It’s only not an empirical question if you presume solipsism. If I presume we are all in here together then it is empirical, and then we can continue.

Spaniard living in the US here. I grew up in apartment complexes and don’t ever remember worrying about noise. I think there’s definitely a component of just being used to it. Agree with your point on construction materials in the US, in relation to noise levels: the only time in my life that I was bothered by my loud neighbors was when I lived in a multi-family home unit in San Mateo, CA. It was a 4-unit home and I could literally hear all my neighbors whereabouts 24/7.

If someone would ask me in the future if I heard anything about Gleam, yes then I would actively discourage people from interacting with the project. If I read about it in a positive manner in the future here or in other forums, yes then I would probably write a comment warning people about it.

If you think that is caring a lot then I care a lot. I don't consider that to be caring a lot though.
Union members can be in cahoots amongst others even in the same union.

All across the US, if you are younger, you likely get less compensation than if you are older. Older union members vote for higher compensation for themselves and reduced compensation for young and future union members, since they cannot vote. For example, if you look up collective bargaining agreements, you will often see tier 1 benefits for employees hired before year x, tier 2 benefits for before year y, and tier 3 benefits for after year y, etc.

A similar dynamic plays out with taxpayer funded benefits and older voters vs younger voters.

The US has an “Additional Medicare Tax”, to help pay for healthcare for older people. But there is no “Additional Medicaid Tax”, to help pay for healthcare for poorer/younger people.
Not GP, but I once asked my engineering colleagues if I was the only one who doesn't pay attention in the bi-weekly all-hands because most of the information is irrelevant to me (e.g. what new marketing strategies we're using). Some admitted that they would do some work on the side, but some also said "well, those people also want to have a chance to share what they did".

I found this remark puzzling and illuminating at the same time. Apparently, for some people, meetings aren't about productivity but about satisfying psychological needs.
