My mother had chronic fatigue syndrome. I used to have it for over 10 years.

For my experience, I can tell you it is a genetic/nutritional problem. I’m was helping researcher at Stanford With parts of a study and they are looking at the metabolics of this from a point of nutrition and genetics. Specifically Manganese and a gene called GCH1. But I have a feeling other nutrient deficiencies and genes can causes it as well, such as possibly zinc, B6, as well as iron.

Most of OpenAIs tech stack is AI toolage, but basically everything you interact with is written in Python. Nobody uses C# for anything serious, because why would you?

It’s not a bad language, it’s just not a very good language either. Need efficiency? Rust/C++. Need an all round language? Node or Python, which are less efficient, but still powerful enough to power Instagram and well OpenAI as far as Python goes and LEGO as far as Typescript goes. Realistically you’re looking to choose between C#, Java and Go. Both Java and Go are miles ahead of C# in terms of concurrency, I mean, C# is still stuck with “await” after all, and while I guess you can have a lengthy debate on C# vs Java, 9 gazillion large companies use Java while 0 use C#.

It’s not that C# is bad, like I said. It’s never really been better than it is now, it’s more a question of why would you ever use it? Even the C# developers at Microsoft admit to prototyping using Python because it’s just so much faster to build things with it, and while they do move things to C#, you have to wonder if they would if they weren’t working for Microsoft.
In FreeBSD, this problem was solved with libxo[0]:

"terminal-name": "0 ",
"state": "Is",

"command": "-bash (bash)"
},
[...]

It's not perfect though. ls had support, but it was removed for reasons[1]. It's not supported by all of the utilities, etc.

This seems to be a great stop-gap with parsers for a LOT of different commands, but it relies on parsing text output that's not necessarily designed to be parsed. It would be nice if utilities coalesced around a common flag to emit structured output.

In PowerShell, structured output is the default and it seems to work very well. This is probably too far for Unix/Linux, but a standard "--json" flag would go a long way to getting the same benefits.

Seems like a rant rather than a comment to the post?

Timescale has continuous aggregates that might be interesting, writing a table built by a trigger isn't hard, and some might say having a separate connection pooler is a feature rather than a bug... Idk enough about SQL server for the group part.
I'm just presenting the argument, which can be made. Reasonable people will disagree.

In my particular experience, I always hated working unionized jobs I had and much preferred being a free actor with minimal fuss. I don't feel like "management versus workers" is a real divide in most non-union jobs I had (in which case you could say that systematizing the difference materializes the difference). But I also think it would likely be very different in different companies and industries. Unions aren't for me and I think they've had their use in the past, and I'm ambivalent as to their necessity in modern times (since governments now enforce a good set of minimums).
> requiring users to mutate that state through accessors

There are plenty of cases where this makes sense, such as when working with sub-word data (bitfields), which is common in the embedded domain and often found as part of efficient code more generally. In fact, it may be more rare to have actual structs where one definitely wants to provide actual access (e.g. via pointers/refs) to the underlying data, and thus cannot just rely on getters/setters.
Indeed. There are also of course persistent data structure libraries for many other languages, but it's a huge difference when they are the core vocabulary of the language and its culture.

I don't think so in 2023. I worked several years in a tax agency and it was mainly a problem of "motivation". I have a friend who pursued "data warehouse" for 30 years there... nowadays you can crunch all the information and find patterns . I would even suggest that tax agencies should anonymize data and create data bounties to help them. In the same way DARPA creates cyberchallenges [1].

Individually this is at most a minor inconvenience but for a whole country it means too bad now your foreign policy is decided by people who can supply the fuel mix you need.

I know way more about the inner mechanics of X11 than the average Linux user (which is saying something), but if you had asked me in a different context what x.org pointed to, I would have had no idea. (And then would have said, "oh, right" as soon as you told me the answer).

That's the tell-tale sign of a bad branding decision. I'm not going to fault X too much for that since they literally predate the Web[0], and because they're targeting a very specialized audience, but any mainstream company that makes the same mistake in 2023 deserves whatever criticism they get for it.

I've never agreed to that specific deal at any ACYE place. If that's what they want to do, and they're clear about it up front, that's fine. If they're willing to charge a premium for waste, that's less ideal than a broader menu which avoids the waste, but at least it's an option.

What they shouldn't do is arbitrarily add new terms to the deal after the fact. Customers should be allowed to make an informed decision. If I know that they'll kick me out for eating, I can decide whether to leave or stick around and eat later. If they just kick me out without warning in the middle of my meeting/event/whatever, no one is happy and they look like assholes.

In practice, these are questions I would ask before paying and sitting down, but that shouldn't be expected. The business should either state its terms up front, or provide an early warning when they notice the behavior and offer a full or partial refund. Waiting until someone has eight pounds of rice piled up and then suddenly kicking them out is a ridiculous escalation, and they'd only lose more money when the customer rightfully disputed the charge.

All of this isn't to say that the guys in the story weren't necessarily in the wrong. What I am saying is that we simply don't know. Demanding they be kicked out is making an awful lot of assumptions. We have no idea why they were there or what their interactions with the staff may have been. As other comments have pointed out, there's a good chance that they were in fact charged for the leftovers.

> Greed is not an explanation, because greed is everywhere in the supply chain, right down to the bottom. The question shouldn’t be why they wanted to (since why wouldn’t they?), but why they could.

Although I agree with you, I think there's something to be said for the late/post pandemic psychology.

Stocks were booming irrationally. Gamestop, Tesla. Crypto going wild. Unprecedented greed, not just among the big bad corporation, but literally gripping the entire nation. Savings rate had been up since early mid 2020(?) and seemingly every household was flush with cash. Professionals were job hopping for magnificent pay increases. Every 'pandemic hobby' had shortages. I paid $200 for a two leaf houseplant that now costs $30-$50 in 2023. A friend of mine paid hundreds to pre-order keyboards a year out from delivery, and the moment they were fulfilled secondhand markets would trade them at huge markups.

So then my question is: if you are a corporate worker living in this environment of greed, why wouldn't you explore price increases with greater than normal vigor?

I don't buy "big evil corporate" narratives but I do think America in general was engulfed by greed around that time

I feel a little better knowing this is necessary, but it's hard to believe they couldn't figure out how to charge through metal (like ever other "put it on the charger thing I own like handheld radios). I guess the radios are more "put it on the charger in the right position" whereas I can slop the phone on the wireless charger wherever I want.

Of course I don't have a wireless charger but hey, progress.
I'd also avoid any older laptop with a dedicated GPU. Particularly Apple, but I'd say it applies to every other manufacturer too considering how little thought they generally put into sufficient cooling. I've seen way too many laptops with defective dGPUs.
I was initially sceptical at first but after a few days you really start to appreciate it. A bigger screen is just better for a lot of things - reading, web browsing, video, gaming etc. I put a quadlock universal mount on the back of my case and then I connect it to a quadlock selfie stick alongside a foldable keyboard and a Swiftpoint ProPoint mouse and it means I essentially have a full computing set up that's both portable and ergonomic that can fit in a cross body bag or even a large bumbag. It's perfect for writing but you can even take it further and use it with codespaces on GitHub to code with it. Or if you're into gaming you can get something like the razer kishi, nacom mg-x etc and then you essentially have something similar to the steam deck. I can't see myself going back to regular slab phones in the future. You do have to be careful with it though and it's also highly recommended to fork out for Samsung Care or whatever the Google equivalent is as the screens do have a fairly high failure rate according to the various subreddits.

It's a huge organization and has definitely a lot of people employed as "career-unionists". Who do you think the membership fee goes? The membership fee is typically 1.5% of employee salary. Just with a quick calculation 1.5% of 300,000 members x $50,000 average salary results into $225,000,000.

Despite what HN seems to think, these unions are bullies and completely unnecessary middle men.
Sure. We see that all the time. Error handling and security are often afterthoughts, for example. We engineers tend to get "commissioned" to build quick proof of concepts and once the business sees their vision come to reality they don't want it to be thrown out and redone with architectural consideration, they want to rush it to market as the "MVP" as quick as humanly possible. This is a reality of our industry that we need to manage and find ways to cope with.

When it comes to certain architectural decisions, there are things that are very hard to change later on, and sometimes you don't know how the product will need to scale, or what challenges the engineering team will be faced with a year, two years, 5 years down the line. This is where we need to make our best guesses and we can't always get it right.

When it comes to the rest, making the code as simple and easy to change is the best we've got.

I was recently reminded by someone I look up to and admire that not everyone has the "gift" of being able to think "top down." This came up because I am often frustrated by the claim that "we don't have time to write this cleanly."

It's a frustrating claim to me, because I don't find that writing short, single responsibility code that is well labelled takes any time at all. I also spent time learning how to work TDD so I can write unit tests as part of the development and design process rather than having to go back and write tests after the fact.

But a lot of developers build "bottom up", where they write really long functions or methods, or dump everything into a single file and then think about separation of concerns, and layers and isolated "components" later on and thus need to spend a lot of lengthy time refactoring after the fact.

That initial "bottom up" process is the "getting it to work" part of the process, which is fun for most devs. But if they then need to refactor after it is tedious and laborious and not fun at all. And I think this is probably where the vast majority of the push-back and friction amongst devs really comes from if we look at it from a human point of view.

If you enjoy the process of DESIGNING software, and thinking top down, you won't find refactoring to be a chore or time consuming. You will understand how a well chosen abstraction can SIMPLIFY rather than complicate. But if you like to solve problems primarily, and to build things you haven't built before, and by "building" it means getting something that "works" up and running quickly ... then you don't want to spend your time reading books on design patterns, or refactoring your PR because the Principal told you it's not up to standards.

The article attributes CFS to an immune response. I think that's over-simplifying it. Certainly for long covid, it appears to be multiple different things all acting together, and that's probably true for CFS too. Yes, there's probably an immune system involvement, but it's probably also other things, and it might be a different mixture of things for each different person. I think this is one of the things that makes the condition so complicated and hard to treat.

I caught covid in May 2022. I mostly recovered after a month, but it was about 6 months later that I started feeling really tired and having brain fog. It's getting a little better now, slowly.

QUIC (or HTTP/3 with enough low-level control) sounds like a good fit: there is no NAT connection that has to stay alive, but the server can remember the handshake for a quick restart.

Not sure if that letdown will trump whatever minor time savings I have accrued while it was good, though. To make it worse, first make it better, then make it back as before.

It’s the same reason I choose not to make use of insane promotions that ride app space newcomers tend to provide. I could use Bolt DeLuxe (or whatever is the new hotness in town) for a couple months, but the anticipation of how I will soon suffer as it becomes more and more of a ripoff with incompetent drivers and absent customer support, and how I’ll waste willpower on changing my habit again, makes me wonder if it’s really worth it. Instead I could in meantime exercise my taxi hailing skills (in this analogy, practice crafting queries and otherwise working around the limitations of worse search engines).
