There's a joke about Adam and Eve in here somewhere. Genesis 2 for reference.
Also a lot of people left early on because their concerns and use cases were dismissed as "holding it wrong". Thus what's left of Julia audience is just the one they catered for.

The big selling point from the getgo was that Julia is general purpose. It's now over 10 years and it's still about as general purpose as MATLAB (although on a totally different level design-wise).

A big smell from the getgo was 1-based indexing. I appreciate that it's more familiar from some branches of math and physics (and MATLAB), and it's something I could live with, but more or less all general purpose languages index from zero. And there's a good reason for that. And that makes interoperability trickier.

Well this unlocked a new fear I didn't know I needed to have. I suppose this is the massive drawback to allowing dinosaurs to spearhead policy and govern laws.
From my perspective as a former developer on a kubernetes distribution that no longer exists.

The model seems to largely be, the CNCF/Kubernetes authors have done a good job of writing clear expectations for the lifetime for their releases. But there are customers who for various reasons want extended support windows.

This doesn't prevent the distribution from offering or selling extended support windows, so the customers of those distributions can put the pressure on those distribution authors. This is something we offered as a reason to use our distribution, that we can backport security fixes or other significant fixes to older versions of kubernetes. This was especially prevalent for the customers we focussed on, which were lots of clusters installed in places without remote access.

This created a lot of work for us though, as whenever a big security announcement came out, I'd need to triage on whether we needed a backport. Even our extended support windows were in tension with customers, who wanted even longer windows, or would open support cases on releases out of support for more than a year.

So I think the question really should be, should LTS be left to the distributions, many of which will select not to offer longer releases than upstream, but allow for some more commercial or narrow offerings where it's important enough to a customer to pay for it. Or whether it should be the responsibility of the Kubernetes authors and in that case what do you give up in project velocity with more work to do on offering and supporting LTS.

I personally resonate with the argument that this can be left with the distributors, and if it's important enough customers to seek out, they can pay for it through their selected distribution, or switching distributions.

But many customers lose out, because they're selecting distributions that don't offer this service, because it is time consuming and difficult to do.
I have noticed that in my remote-first organization, we've started being much more explicit in all of our communication, written _and_ verbal. This does add a lot of overhead to each of our conversations and I sometimes get impatient, but I suppose it does help overall.
Again, I'm not trying to downplay how much it matters, I just think you're being pretty hyperbolic about it! You've said stuff like it's "impossible" and "not supported", and I think these are just way stronger than "very inconvenient" or "extremely frustrating". Maybe it's a minor point, I dunno, but like, if we were talking about a five minute compile cycle or a language that doesn't even have a way to run a script at the command line, then sure, I'd agree with what you're saying, but as it is, it just feels a bit like a tempest in a teapot to me...

Content is just text, a more expressive form of raw data. It's the organization and description of that data which makes it useful. For example steps in a set of instructions are less valuable than the instructions as a whole when clearly organized as a series of steps. This remains true regardless of the context, format, or means of conveyance.

Whether HTML is provided as a full document or in micro-segments with/without templates is irrelevant. This is actually a form of empathy failure. Templates exist as a convenience to developers as necessary to reduce or eliminate code repetition, but your users are reading the inter-working of your source code.
Wow. If anything, working around 8 bit's limitations seems to make 32 bit look simpler in comparison.

Me too, and I was looking forward to the thread that talks about error bars in weather models, which is totally a thing!

It turns out the ECMWF does do an ensamble model where they run 51 concurrent models, presumably with slightly different initial conditions, or they vary the model parameters within some envelope. From these 51 models you can get a decent confidence interval.

But this is a lower resolution model, run less frequently. I assume they don't do this with their "HRES" model (which has twice the spacial resolution) in an ensemble because, well, it's really expensive.

Elon: “We face genuine risk of bankruptcy if we cannot achieve a Starship flight rate of at least once every two weeks next year,” he said sometime last year, or the year before maybe?

Sure this is management through fear, but Falcon 9 is OK for v1 and v1.5 Starlink satellites and a constellation of 4-5000. But Starlink needs 20X the subscribers, and that needs big, complex, high capacity satellites that don't need ground stations in direct view.
So in your opinion "From the river to the sea ..." is just a protest slogan ? There are polls showing support specifically for Hamas not for Palestinian liberation cause among students. It's very high. The Hamas goals are articulated very clearly. It's comforting to pretend it's just to support Palestinian cause but it's def not just that.
I have another example - asbestos. With all the protective gear people can work usually only half of normal shift. Because wearing proper mask and tight overall is very very difficult. Cleaning nuclear site adds probably radiation exposure time.

On other hand for this insane money a capable group could automate all the machines and do the cleanup without humans on-site. Especially when it is not the only one site worldwide for cleaning.
I am a technical product manager, used to be a software engineer, and made the switch a couple years ago now - wrote a bit about it here https://bobbiechen.com/blog/2021/11/28/moving-to-product-man... , but here's some more notes:

1. Actions - my manager also offered that I could spend more time doing something more product-oriented in a transition period. My team owned an internal tool for managing firewalls with many long-standing UX complaints, so I took the opportunity to redesign it - collecting and summarizing the past complaints, putting together a new design, and testing it with users. Then I implemented it myself, shipped it, collected relevant metrics, and made some tweaks for later feedback. This was pretty successful, I liked it, and I took the chance to switch to be a PM full-time when a new role opened on a different team in the department.

2. Resources - Inspired (Marty Cagan), and Escaping the Build Trap (Melissa Perri) are good starting points. My company also sent me to Pragmatic Institute training, which didn't cover new ground but did provide lots of template docs if that's your style.

3. A note of advice: going from dev to PM gives you certain strengths. You're naturally going to have a stronger opinion on developer-focused products, APIs, SDKs, etc., and better ideas of what's easy/hard/impossible to implement technically. This is good, but it's not a substitute for talking to your customers/prospects and engineering team. It's really important to actually talk to people, whether by video meetings or chat/email/doc comments.

Also happy to chat in more detail, I'm reachable by the form on the homepage of my website.
It's hard to compare SpaceX to competitors, because despite it has competitors, they're all structured wildly differently, and overlap between products and services is partial.

Tesla however... doesn't look good. And I know you'll start listing EV carmakers but that's not who Tesla is competing with. It's competing with carmakers in general. Even then BYD is eating its lunch in China and increasingly Europe. And because demand for EVs is cooling in general, hence the price cuts, and Tesla is completely unprepared for backlash to EVs as it has no other products, if people stop buying EVs, Tesla is dead in the water. While the likes of Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Ford etc. and will be just fine.

It got merged with another. The second is is currently #8 on the frontpage. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38519012 "comments moved to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38517550, which has that article, which presumably gives more background."
I'm not sure what you're referring to, it's not typical to preserve isotopes during cleanup activities. The cleanup process mostly involves packaging contaminated items to bury them. This process is dangerous and must be done with extensive protective equipment, which makes it very slow and time consuming. The isotopes involved here aren't useful anyway. We're talking about everything from gloves to concrete walls that have been contaminated with daughter products.

What I think you're referring to is processing of spent fuel, which is a smaller item in these types of projects since the spent fuel is already packaged for storage. I'm not an expert on the UK situation but I wouldn't be surprised if spent fuel management is a tiny portion or not included in that estimate at all, it's usually already covered out of operating budgets.
> it starts showing cracks on a long enough timeline in sufficiently large or complex projects

Show me a project which this doesn't happen to on a long timeline and I'll show you a project with no users and perfect programmers.

Entropy is unavoidable. It will eventually degrade despite your best efforts and in the meantime you aren't benefiting from a working feature. We should try to delay software entropy as much as practical, but not at the expense of shipping.

Basically there is a balance to strike. I don't have a formula for it, but I do know that merging often ends up being more valuable than merging later just to ensure clean code. Working features are more valuable than a mess. A mess sucks, so we should try to avoid it, but the world runs on messes, not clean code.
How does Django compare to Ruby on Rails? Any developers in here that tried/used both frameworks?

I would presume it's many more products than just Spotify app.

"The school" is not a person with motive. Dr. Donovan's report strongly implicates the Dean, who maintains a personal friendship with Sheryl Sandberg, as the driver behind these actions. The remaining actors appear to be interest in saving their own necks.

> Same with private businesses. Public companies cannot exist without a license.

Being public just means that you are selling shares to anyone on a public market. Those markets don't need a license or regulation of any sort to exist. I'm confused as to why you're trying to draw such a sharp distinction between public and private companies in terms of government regulation. Regulation of a stock market and public companies who participate is no different than regulation of private businesses. You can't really divorce the two in a sensible way within this context.

> We humans were all stateless tribes once, and some of us still are.

A tribe is a form of government (I'm not sure that the usage of state makes a difference here versus government but maybe it does make a difference for you?) and your behavior is regulated within your tribe.

Sometimes I think people confuse individual choice or individualism with how humans exist, but humans are pack animals. Always have been. So we're always within a regulated tribe, democracy, religious cult, or other form of government. Even your example of a human being born without a license seems like an unimportant technical detail that doesn't have a basis in reality, because your license would just be you conforming to the rules of your social group. Being formally issued by some people wearing funny hats in an "office" doesn't make a difference except for the purposes of management and efficiency.
Loco: The one-person framework for Rust for side-projects and startups
iOS? No, certainly not. The recently released version just did the jump from Internet Explorer to Edge support.

You probably mean the confusingly identically named SuperMemo on supermemo.com (not .guru), that is indeed a spaced-repetition software, but is not the venerable and famous real SuperMemo with a gazillion of features and research behind it. Just a simplistic knockoff. Strangely by the same author.
Certainly possible. But fragile libs (not talking about actual lefties) are pretty good at censoring on their own.
too true and for some reason there was a rule like the worse the content the faster it would download/torrent/kazaa/limewire/etc lol
It's never been called anything but either "GCC Explorer" or "Compiler Explorer", by me, anyway... The URL it's accessible for is an accident of the one I had hanging around :) (it's now available at compiler-explorer.com too, but...the name other people use has stuck so I'll never be able to reclaim my own domain...)
Good that this is clearly mentioned up-front on their site.
I really wish there would be more industry standard solutions like this. There are lots of semi serious apps I build where I'd rather not worry about auth and storage but its part of the product so I'll do some hacky stuff with local storage (which only goes so far)

Yeah, what's the point of saving? You put money in your bank account, it'll be worth only two-thirds of what it is now, despite nerds on the internet telling you inflation is at 3.5% or whatever. And I look pretty askance at investing on corporations that are not what they used to be, but lumber on.

Obviously the smart thing is to try to make money and then turn around and invest it in Amazon. But to what end? I make pretty OK money but no amount of that will let me afford a house, and I already have a terminal degree. Better to use my money to spend more time with my child.

This is all assuming you have stable employment and a 6-month rainy day fund, not having those things is a little too much YOLO for me.

Higher cholesterol is associated with lower all cause mortality
I've seen quite a few people with my own eyes use devices with an English interface (or French) without knowing much English (or French). Some of them are illiterate. This is quite common in some parts of the world. These people find use in their English devices, because websites like YouTube provide content in their language even when the interface is not in their language.

Sometimes these people cannot switch the interface language of the operating system. For example٫ Windows Single Language edition forbids changing the language of the interface, and it is common in developing countries.
Concludes that a certain www.example.com is 42% similar to example.com, when they are exactly the same: one redirects to the other.

The only thing different is the domain names, and those character strings themselves are more than 42% similar.

I still have no idea what point you are trying to make. I have not claimed to be an expert on the topic, I only asked why no one can be an expert.

It sounds like your view is that no one can be an expert on disinformation because some topics are disputed. That's an "interesting" take. I guess that reasoning would leave pretty few experts in the world.
One of these was mine! Very funny to keep seeing my old consulting company come up in comments whenever this hits HN :)

I never did bother with actually making it an SQL injection; it was meant to be an in-joke between me and whoever at the client with tech chops set up the billing record, nothing more :)
Would YouTube give him any money to come back? The article suggests he could self-host with some exclusivity rights for subscribers, that could work also. I personally think Joe needs to find a way for people to comment on the pods (if he doesn’t go back to YT) even if it is after the live cast.
Those people who paid are stealing from everyone else.
What do people like torturing themselves by duplicating code. Wouldn't it be easier to just use node all the way.

Writing hundreds of lines of JS to display a Table list, instead of HTML sprinkled with some JS
Haven't done this. Curious though about "storage" (type 1) vs "non-voltatile data apis" (type 2). The former I think of as "open/read/write/close/delete" (and maybe truncate) the latter I think of as having things like "truncate/seek" which add state machine semantics (if you don't do the operations in the same order you get a different state of your store). The "hybrid" is to use type 1 storage as a log and use it to reconstruct a type 2 store. You still need need to insure the underlying type 1 log is written in "order" (vectored clocks help here) in order to preserve data integrity.

If you have a suitably robust "middle ware" layer this should be doable with any type 1 storage back end.

And an automatic redirect would be good. I wouldn't be surprised if merging is the moderator manually editing the database, I don't think it's very sophisticated.

pestering them? What people are actually worried about is firing them, which still happens even at companies that pretend they know better. I heard from friends at Salesforce that this guy was fired, for instance. https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/19/salesforce_root_cause...
I don't even know what the incumbents are. I had never listened to a podcast before they came to Spotify. So I can easily imagine there was a big untapped market of getting people to spend more time with podcasts, which I assume is much cheaper for Spotify than music licensing. So more customers and less royalties -- I can see a potential in that.
Agreed. But I was responding to johnathankoran about whether leaking / releasing your genetic information would even be a potential threat. I think it very well could be in 10-20 years (and possibly much less). Enough of a concern for me that I wouldn't trust a company with that information.
Elephants are easy to hunt — they turn toward you and easily fall into disguised holes. They’re now protected by governments, however.

The “something you know” is what handicaps passwords into being weak - they have to be easy to remember. And they have to be unique per service- because the website has to know the password too and websites get hacked. Because of this people basically have to use password managers. Because otherwise they set every password to “cat123” or “spring2024” etc.

And if people are generating good passwords and storing them anyway- we may as well store digital keys instead.

My password manager is still protected by a good password + 2FA. Passkeys will be protected by this as well. On my phone there is biometric that can replace the password as well.

How secure your passkeys are comes down to how protect them. But it’s definitely an improvement over passwords.
Fully agree. They can follow Cloud Native deployment best practices for guidance.
"Human in the Loop" will be the major cooling factor of this hype cycle. Any feature proposal I hear always includes, "and of course there is a human in the loop to verify the output." The human needs the ability to create the content themselves if they hope to be effective verifiers. So overall you haven't really eliminated work, just transformed it. If its highly structured data like market reports or sporting results and can perform without verification, existing AIs have already been able to produce content like this for several years.

The only really high value prop I see for enterprise AI in the coming years is as a librarian. All companies have persistent knowledge base issues, usually stemming from multiple teams using multiple platforms. Having an assistant to comb through years of internal company documents and correlate information between them will be invaluable.
Yes, and it also makes it much easier for random people to break your code. It's a trade-off
No tip, just story.

I moved into an engineering management role from IC for a year at a previous company. I also found the experience unfulfilling and wanted to move back to my old IC level.

Right around my yearly review I told my manager that I wasn't digging it. Personally I found the effort-reward loop of management to be too long, and preferred the more immediate satisfaction of releasing incremental features to be more compelling than formally mentoring and guiding the developers under me. I explained this, and my manager was supportive and helped me find a more senior IC role in a different team.

We didn't really get to have the chance to talk about management succession plans as shortly after we had a RIF and my former team was absorbed into another team and the product we worked on was put on life support instead.

I personally didn't feel any shame as I was fairly certain I didn't want to be a manager. I only accepted the role because I was pressured to at least "give it a chance" by my ex-wife who thought it was a good career move. I was apprehensive at the idea that I might have to leave to be an IC again but it turns out those fears were unfounded.
No, you are. I’m doing it right.
Sellafield is historically most directly comparable to the Hanford Reservation in the US (southeastern Washington), about which you could say most of the same things: one of the largest contamination sites, with an extremely long and expensive remediation timeline.
That's interlaced though. Effectively half for a progressive scan.
