I would just add (your 11 y/o experience notwithstanding) that psychotherapy is a viable, and often preferable option for many. The fitness between therapist and client if definitely a key variable; but my experience with therapy vs meds has dramatically favoured the former.

Agree that there are situations with no positive spin in the moment and maybe there will never be a positive spin; but maybe there’s a _growth-oriented_ spin. Eventually.

Apart from the patterns that are obviously good or bad by definition, most of the patterns and architecture decisions have their pros and cons, and the focus is on understanding, discussing those tradeoffs, and going with tradeoffs that a team / company prefers to deal with. Monolith vs. microservices, synchronous vs. asynchronous communications, small events vs. fat events - the list can go on, there are no silver bullets or clearly right choices.

> The nostalgia for me around the language is strong

Same here. I cut my programming teeth on BBC Basic and later 6502 assembly, initially on an Electron, then the Model Bs at school, and we later had a Master 128 at home.

The integrated multi-pass assembler was a godsend for someone who got to the point of wanting to play around at a lower level, but before getting to that stage the language had other things that set it far apart from other micros of the era:

• Better structured programming constructs: proper procedures and functions where some other 8-bit BASIC implementations had nothing beyond GOTO/GOSUB. With a little hoop jump you could completely do away with line numbers.

• Long variable names, where some implementations only allowed two, or even just one, character. This allowed code to be a little more self-documenting. IIRC it only considered the first 40 characters⁰ despite not erroring when there were more though, so if you used anything longer one variable could silently clobber another.

----

[0] but who was using such long names in the limited memory¹ of an 8-bit home micro?!

[1] I did actually write something a bit akin to modern JS minimisers, to make things fit in the smaller model A² machines: it removed REM statements and did a fairly naive scan-then-search-and-replace to replace long names with shorter ones

[2] these had only 16KB rather than 32, which after taking out screen memory and other standard allocations were taken out didn't leave a lot of room for your code to live in

No, this is what you get if someones response to speakers making a choice about the kind of events they want to speak at is fraud instead of addressing the concerns in an honest way.

He has no inherent right to expect speakers to speak at his event. It doesn't matter if they expect a diverse lineup or a bowl of M&M's with all the brown ones picked out - he has the choice of complying with their requirements or finding someone else.

Or, I guess, resorting to lies and deceit and getting called out for it.

Even back in ~1985 I'd have felt bad about such a practice. And I had only the very vaguest notions about "structured programming".

The school I went to only had a cpuple of computers, so I wrote code longhand on A4 lined paper. When I needed to insert lines, I wrote them on a slip of paper that I placed at the appropriate place on the page and stapled on the right-hand edge.

I can imagine one usecase, in a typical architecture design, where the architect creates a design and always faces this stumbling block, when wanting to make it look as lively as possible: sprinkling a lot of convincing assets everywhere.

As they are generated, variations are much easier to come by easier, than buying a couple asset packs.
Good idea. Technically the cost of phone calls is so low that they might as well be free; or at least flat fee. Also, why use phone calls when you can do internet calls? They are typically not metered per minute at all. I use phone calls only when nothing else will work, i.e. very rarely. Mostly I'll use whatsapp, skype, meets, zoom, etc., depending on who I'm talking to. Most of these are completely free.

As a courtesy to relatives, who by virtue of not being locked should be presumed innocent, providing some more convenient ways to check up on their loved ones might be a nice touch. You could time box it, restrict it to certain hours, etc. But there's no need for extorting people over this.

Since the US tends to run a lot of its prisons as businesses, it's not surprising that the contractors involved are ripping off their customer (the state).

John Oliver recently did a nice episode on the abysmal state of healthcare in prisons vs. the insane profits that contractors are making. I imagine this is the same for this kind of stuff. Expensive, inefficient, stupid at many levels, and enriching some really dodgy companies and people in the process.

This article makes such a crucial point. There are many entrepreneurs and other successful people that set out to do good in the world. And that's laudable and to be encouraged.

But unfortunately, they project their own mindset onto others. "Surely, they are all aspiring entrepreneurs at heart. If only they had access to resources, they'd go ahead and prosper." - And so a lot of anti-poverty initiatives focus on things like micro-credits, mentorship and training that facilitates and unlocks an existing drive towards entrepreneurship.

But what if that drive simply isn't there? What if the hopelessness is inter-generational and deeply embedded into the culture? No amount of external help and support will unlock something, that doesn't exist in the first place.

This article describes this well. First - you must change the mindset towards the notion that - with hard work, skill and determination - one's fate can be improved. Only than will the improvement enabling measures take hold.

It really peeves me to hear the phrase “edge case” used as a defense of incorrect software. As if software should not be expected to deal with edge cases.

Edge cases are not rare. If you have a lot of people using your system, or people who use it a long time, hitting an edge case increases in likelihood to the point that it becomes inevitable. It’s a fallacy to think that an edge case being mathematically unlikely implies that it is unlikely to ever happen. See also murphy’s law.

Interesting to see this on HN. I currently work for the company that redesigned the HMI/UI following this incident. Or rather, it's how my company was founded. In the aftermath, the US Navy Command in San Diego contacted several UCSD professors in the Cognitive Science and Psychology department who specialized in high-impact decision making under stress and cognitive load. The Navy was apparently impressed with the detailed analysis and recs provided by these faculty and continued to collaborate with these folks on this an other projects. Eventually they were getting so much work from the Navy they founded a company focused on human factors engineering and interface design for complex systems.

The two original founders recently retired and our new CEO is a former Captain of the USS Zumwalt.

If you're seriously suggesting that attacking unarmed civilians intentionally, killing parents in front of their children and then kidnapping the children, slaughtering defenseless party-goers, etc. is what I any resistance movement would do, that's ridiculous. If Hamas would only have attacked military targets, there would be no legitimacy to Israel's actions. However, what actually happened was that they attacked plenty of civilian targets, in a premeditated fashion, in areas that are recognized internationally to be part of Israel.
Also benefits like healthcare which was mentioned. The squeeze of mandating private corporations as healthcare insurance providers and being so deeply involved in a matter so private means it is a field ripe for customer/client exploitation.

The Lords of the land that are large business owners and corporations have had an economic shift, where the laborers have a tiny edge compared to the recent past in the form of less laborers and more wage competition, and they're not even organized in the US! The fact that this alone can disrupt the ecosystem of capital so drastically that a labor secretary became a bartender and the largest unionized workplaces have to give record concessions to the labor unions speaks to this systems glaring flaws.

This is an interesting perspective which I'm inclined to disagree with. There's little pleasure to be found in having to deal with a system that broke because it was badly designed or implemented, although I guess it means you've got a reasonably secure job for the time being. Being able to gradually refactor it can be fun sometimes I guess, but I'd still rather not have to.

Your second category is more interesting to me - you're interpreting a system is hard to understand and work on as being made by super intelligent people. I would interpret that as a system that was badly designed, unless you're doing some new and revolutionary thing (you're probably not). A system that has been designed in such a way that only someone with deep knowledge of the thought process can work on it has been designed badly. I know this because I have in the past designed many such systems. Coming back to them a few years later even I hated myself for it, so I'm deeply sympathetic to the people who had to work on them who weren't me. Thankfully in most cases I got to task a few people with ripping out the system and replacing it with something better.
It's not stupid. All governments and militaries use propaganda. You'd be a fool to believe anything they say, no matter which country it is. The absolute truth of what happened is unreachable to us, we can only try to piece together a coherent version of the events after the fact. Government narratives are notoriously unreliable sources to base such an understanding upon.
I'm so cynical at this point I just assume this is propaganda from the potato lobbyists.
>freeing up those competent modellers to work on more interesting things than the 10,000 chair variants needed for future AAA games.

I also enjoy improving bad software, high five.

But funny: I was trying to think of "good" systems that I ever worked on, but drew a blank. It can't be that I only worked on bad code, right? Maybe this is one of those "when everyone around you is an asshole..." situations!

But now that I actually think deeper about it, the reason I don't remember doing a lot of work in good systems is because I barely had to touch them. They just worked, scaled fine, required very little maintenance.

And on those good systems, building new features was painless: they were always super simple and super familiar to newcomers (using default framework features instead of fancy libraries), because they never deviated from the norm. Things would also pretty much never break because there were failsafes (both in code/infra/linters/etc and in process, like code review).

At my previous job the other person working in our backend was the CTO, which worked part-time and had lots of CTO attributions. I remember spending about 20 hours tops in the span of 2 years on that backend. It was THAT good.

I once attended an internal presentation while working for the UK's Ministry of Justice.

A large number of contraband mobile phones had been confiscated, and a team performed some data analysis to see what they'd been used for.

The overwhelming conclusion was that the phones had been primarily used to keen in touch with family.

There's also a whole bunch of research that showed that maintaining ties with the outside world while incarcerated led to reduced rates of reoffending (and the inverse was also true - isolation led to increased rates).

Allowing free phone calls in and out of prisons makes a lot of sense both socially and economically.
That would be wholesome. Though if word goes out you're earning SW dev wages then you're making yourself a target for extorsion/racketeering from gangs and wardens meaning you'll probably have to pay half your wage so something bad doesn't happen to you.
SDL is simply not optimised for this use-case, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. If you're writing single-threaded code (which I assume BBC Basic is!), you can cut out the locking and directly poke a 640x480x3 array in memory. This part is extremely fast, as fast as your memory subsystem can go.

Then, convert that into a texture and send it to the GPU once per frame. This is the only added overhead relative to the old ways. If you picked the right format for your in-memory buffer (probably ARGB-8888, perhaps with a certain row stride) then that conversion is a nop. The "correct" format depends on your hardware (which is why this isn't a typical workflow), but even a non-trivial pixel format conversion is fast at 640x480.

If you wanted to send a 3840*2160 texture to your GPU at 60Hz, that requires "only" 2GBps of bandwidth, which I think you'll find in most modern systems. This is pretty inefficient, which is why we don't do it, but it can be done.
