Germany takes it too far. Every industry is regulated and licensed. It takes 2 years to call yourself a baker. It’s not a good system.

If you have to regulate industries institute a proficiency test and allow different levels of expertise. A plumber or electrician for home repair is a totally different level of complexity to one in industrial applications but it’s the same certification. The guy doing wiring in my house just does not need that level of education and I don’t really want to pay for it.
Countries should be left to handle their own affairs; that's the responsibility that is inherent to sovereignty. The premise of a global hegemon who babysits the world and enforces the rules (dictated by themselves and their allies of course) is an anachronistic leftover from the age of imperialism. If the rest of the world wants America to play world police (and for the most part, I don't believe they do) let them pay the American public for this service.
There was a lot of hype tbh. A decent number of people did move to ATX, but ime it was on the field side and some remote dev.
I feel the opposite way.

Even though Python is the language I’ve used most, I wouldn’t want to use it for something with a lot of uncertainty and that will suffer many changes. Type systems make it so much easier to change things early on without breaking everything. I’d probably pick F# or similar.

Aaand it's flagged. This kind of discussion is suppressed on HN too, not just on campuses.
The article cites a few data points for "Austin losing its luster":

- Techstars pausing their Austin tech accelerator and venture funding being down 46%. This is the most compelling data point in the article, however venture funding is down 48% globally [0], so this has nothing to do with Austin specifically.

- A startup moving its HQ from Austin to Houston (where they previously were before moving to Austin), specifically because it is looking for non-software talent that they believe will be more plentiful in Houston.

- A laundry company that has ~10 employees moving from Austin to Tulsa

- An "online travel agency aimed at Millenials" with ~10 employees moving to Sacramento

Meanwhile, companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, Oracle have some of their largest office locations in Austin and show no signs of slowing down, as far as I can tell. This is definitely a new side of Austin, which used to be known for smaller tech startups and didn't have these giant behemoths - so I'll agree that it's losing luster in that way, if that's what is being looked at.

I mean no disrespect towards the company's listed in the article, but I'll wait to make conclusions until there's better data points than a few random companies I've never heard of moving.

It'll take me a day or two to get used to it and then it'll be fine for me. But I only really use registers to quickly jump around in buffers. If no configuration for switching to the old behaviour makes it in before Emacs 30 is released I'd be surprised if it were to take more than a week before someone makes a package that adds the old behaviour back in.
> ..because it saves snapshots rather than changes..

I might be misremembering the technical details, but isn't that only the case in a git repo with zero pack files?

Will grant that the lack of metadata on renames can be issue when a file is heavily refactored alongside it's relocation.
Tacoma and Spokane are definitely liberal. The outskirts of Spokane are not, however, and Spokane has a lot of people in its suburbs these days (incidentally, most eastern Washington cities are liberal, they just aren’t very big, Inslee even got his political start in Yakima). I have no idea why you listed Tacoma, it’s pretty much WA’s only soul city, but ya, you’ll find Trumpers in Kent, Puyallup, and all those small cities between Tacoma and Olympia/seattle. Incidentally, Bellevue used to be conservative also, and still is more so than Seattle, but it is even more immigrant heavy than Seattle is, and while Asians are both on average economically and socially conservative, they don’t like Republicans at all.
Or quit docking people for lunch time. That's kind of ridiculous and disrespectful anyway. 100% robber Baron factory rules.
Both statements rely on a false prior however, so there is no value in either of the two conclusions. Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism, just like criticism of Sharia law is not islamophobia and criticism of the Republican party is not anti-Christian.
The crucial difference is that these technologies are embedded differently. Java Applets had access to dangerous APIs that had to be restricted by the SecurityManager. Also, the JVM was installed externally to the browser, turning it into an uncontrollable component which made the browser vulnerable in turn.

The newer technologies were designed from the beginning with a well-defined security boundary and are based on a language that was designed from the beginning to be embedded. Everything is implemented within the browser and can be updated together with it.

That is relative to where you yourself are from.
Whenever this question comes up, the usual suspects like "The Design of Everyday things" get mentioned and I can't help wonder what it would be like if someone asked for books about learning to program [websites] and kept getting "Godel, Escher Bach", "Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" or "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius.
>focus on the fundamentals rather than the particular brand of tools.

But you went on to list a bunch of tools. Sure today HTML, TCP, HTTP seem fundamental, but when they first came out?

CPU is very open ended, what do you mean focus on CPU? Do you mean x86 or do you just mean that there exists a concept called a central processing unit where bits go in and bits come out?

With that said all I have to say on this issue is that there are different strategies to learning, and for some people such as myself, I prefer learning things from the concrete and towards the abstract. I like starting from the actual tools and frameworks and very specific and particular things I can manipulate, and then abstracting from them and building up concepts, as opposed to what it seems many others like to do which is to start from high level concepts.
New ultrasound tech could be used to 3D-print implants inside the body
AD: I have to disagree with the assumption there are only 3 communication forms (work, async, sync) - it's not hard to fathom a counter example such as Pairing where-in synchronous communication is necessary for the pair's flow state to emerge but they are "working as communication". Likewise there is an assumption here that meetings don't create flow states or that they don't contribute to "work as communication". Not all engineering is writing code and there should be some amount of back-pressure for writing the right code not just writing any code.

However I do agree with a general mentality of do > say which I believe this article is trying to allude to.

The author is describing precisely what ever video game designer learns to do: build the right scaffolding at every step so people can be in Flow [1]

I've always enjoyed this symmetry between teaching & video game making. They both try to do the same thing in that way. (after all, video games are really just "voluntary work" when you think about it)

Of course both claims are false, but they are nevertheless popular points of view, and the popularity of these points of view explain why academics feel suppressed. That's the point I'm making here, I thought that was clear.
I had the impression the consensus was that Hamas are terrorists and the Israel government consists of right-wing nutjobs.

I have to agree that this makes it a non-starter for me, for those reasons. If I ever, ever feel the tiniest bit of latency in a terminal, or see the slightest bit of slowness when some program dumps a bunch of text to stdout, it's failed its one job as a terminal. Nah, I don’t think this one’s for us.
A pilot once explained to me..

Boeing planes (before MCAS): we have detected a problem with your engines, would you like to shut down?

Your thesis doesn't really make sense to me. You're assuming someone that is making outsized profit this year, somehow is gambling all of that profit and their existing money in some risky bet that depends on the continuation of greedflation, and if that stopped and their price gouging were forced to come back down to normal level, they'd lose their bet, and somehow that would be so catastrophic that the biggest most depended on juggernauts would collapse into bankruptcy causing a country wide recession?
Your impression of a consensus is shaped by lopsided censorship and suppression of the other side.

98% of assistant professors say they self-censor, and 81% of those say they're self-censoring views critical of Israel. That's 79% of assistant professors who would be voicing opinions against Israel if not for the pressure they perceive to silence themselves. If anything, your perception of consensus is completely backwards.

Not just peers and fellow academics, but also students and notably, as the article mentions, “external advocacy groups.”
Same here, I feel like I could have done a lot more at college, knowing what I know now. I couldn't see the big picture, and I felt uninspired most of the time.
It appears to be his startup idea, so I imagine they're looking for ways to monetize this but it's not clear what the plan is:

This looks really interesting, however a disadvantage is that the reader needs to know or learn a new programming language first T3X. I wonder if one could start from scratch on a CP/M system: write and develop the compiler on a retro system that has no connection to the outside world except the keyboard and display.
> Not sure I quite follow the point, Microsoft maintains PyLance and Pyright, tools that have had a large positive impact on Python development,

I think GP's point is that PyLance and Pyright, while free, are still proprietary and not open-source.
Seems like that still needs an extra RET to confirm register overwrites:

LFS is ok but it still feels like a kludge to me.

The cli does not bother me, there are many tools that offer alternatives/overlays/UIs. Not saying it is perfect or even good, but it's good enough - for me at least.
Very weird to hear this. I've used Firefox as my primary browser for the last 8 or so years and it has never once failed to restore my tabs on Linux, MacOS, or Windows. I'm usually cruising with about a dozen tabs on Windows and Linux, and shamefully had up to 2,400 on MacOS last year. Works great every time. Reboots, Firefox updates, OS updates, you name it.
false flag.

Post is relevant because the issue of self-censorship in academia has a direct impact on scientific positions which has a direct impact on the administration of tech.
i don’t think this is necessarily a hot take but ethics and venture capital don’t really mix. does this surprise anyone?
And to some extent it is true, but fortunately Portugal is not so easy to overrun. The area in and around Cascais is very popular with 'expats' (aka immigrants). At 200K+ inhabitants it is large enough to have all facilities, quite warm and not so large that you get the trouble associated with large cities in the South of Europe. The fact that it always was fairly wealthy probably also helps.

I despise questions worded like this,

Under certain circumstances (time, text wrapping/line break, context) I make the wrong calculation and pick the reverse. If it was a verbal question, I would most certainly rephrase the question to the interviewer. If this was not possible, I would skip the question.

spot on. Example for Bulgaria - see who's big there.. Re-sellers of man-hours. And that trend created a big percentage of butterflies (who fly off to next door/flower for $100 or bag of peanuts more, anytime)

The "1 million residents" is based on arbitrary administrative boundaries within a single metropolitan area. San Francisco also has < 1 million people when measured this way. It is also weird to put San Jose on the list since it is the main city of literal Silicon Valley.

Except for Jacksonville, all of those other cities dwarf DFW in venture capital investment, which is a much more relevant metric than population.
Hi,

yes that was the initial plan however, i thought why not make it completely free for everyone.

The goal still remains to help small investors to bead the hedge funds
Devil's advocate - a couple years ago Google ATX was much heavier on the sales/customer success side than on dev, and I think Amazon ATX was originally started to help jumpstart the graviton project via Annapurna Labs. That said, I agree the article isn't the most convincing.

Don't shit on Tulsa. It's basically like Austin in the 90s and 2000s but without STEM and with better BBQ. Most of the hipster artists got priced out there

In Seattle? If New York is the city that never sleeps, Seattle is the tiny city with a narcolepsy approaching that of the twin cities. With the exception of a few restaurants, only the bars are open late nights and they all close by 2 am.

This is why Mediterranean countries use olive oil instead of butter. Adapting to their environment.
People go where the money is. It is capitalism. SV is where the money is so people are going to go there. Same as wall street before it. You want the best talent you pay the most money. With Europe paying so little compared to the US I don't know if Crotia or anywhere in europe will be a real tech hotbed.
Maybe let's keep the drama down a bit? There was a change committed which made using registers more friendly to use for newbies. IMHO, working on making Emacs' features more accessible is a good thing. And yes, this of course annoys old-school Emacs users (including me). AFAICS the discussion is still very much in progress. There will be an option added to be able to revert to the old behavior. There's still discussion if overwriting registers should prompt for confirmation (which it didn't use to do). Let's wait how that one turns out. I fail to see why one would need to write a long blog post and maintain a fork because of something like this... maybe just wait it out a bit and let people voice their opinions, it takes a bit of time...

It's not so much the knowledge itself that has a half-life (unless it is front-end tech knowledge), but the ability to monetize knowledge. You used to be able to make a career out of some niche bit of knowledge but those days are over. You need to work hard just to stay current, in almost every field and that is as much a trend driven by technology as it is driven by the fact that there are so many people of working age now.
Distros like Arch and NixOS use the vanilla kernel with very small amount (single digits) of patches on top. For the purposes of ext4, it's very likely to be as-is with vanilla. (I am counting the official linux-stable releases from kernel.org as 'vanilla' here.)
Today most (by volume) Linux attacks are against IoT devices that run Linux and SSH with weak/no auth.

Behind that are attacks on Linux web servers where exploits in the web application (e.g. WordPress) or the web framework (e.g. Rails) are the attack vector.

Ive used vim for 10+ years, and I have known about yanking to different registers, but usually I only use the main register 99.9999% of the time. can you explain your use cases for using multiple registers? I should start doing this perhaps, but I can't think of many times I want to copy more than one thing at once, maybe once a month? But I also could be not thinking of the right examples.
People who don’t know what registers are aren’t affected by the change, so it’s not clear why they should be weighing in.

And criticizing a person’s decisions doesn’t amount to “demonizing”.

I clicked flag. It's not suppression. Actually your knee-jerk "suppression" claim is pointing in the direction of why I clicked flag.

It's because people are unable to handle these topics without delving into conspiracy theories.

You had two paths you could have gone down.

Path one - it's active suppression, which means mens rea, which means someone is out there silencing me, which means a conspiracy is active, to shut down criticism of Israel. Which means the Elders of Zion are at it again.

Path two - hn users have clicked flag, so it's flagged

Why did you choose path one? What about this topic is breaking peoples' brains so badly? That's why I clicked it. I don't want hn users to verbalise their anti-jewish theories.

From that thread it does appear that register-use-previews seems to be the toggle for this behavior (although it mentions a bug where even if it’s set to never a certain workflow is prompting a confirmation). That would resolve any concerns I’d imagine if it’s truly an option?
