At HN I recommend to start with this Q&As:

"""

Q: Did you read 'The Techno-Optimist Manifesto' by Marc Andreessen?

A: I did. I know Marc.

Q: He and guys like him have a pretty unadulterated belief that government has to get out of the way. What are the counterarguments that you can discuss with him, or thinkers like him, that suggest common ground?

A: I make two arguments to tech leaders. The first one is that Silicon Valley emerged because of government investment in ARPA, in DARPA, in the N.S.F.15
Thoughtful folks realize the role that government investment had in making Silicon Valley possible. They realize it today in defense technology, how much the decisions of the Pentagon are going to matter in terms of the adoption of some of the new technology. So as a base line, I say, “Look, government investment was critical.” The second point I make is, I know everyone in Silicon Valley thinks they’re self-made. But most of them didn’t have to worry about health care. Most of them never had to worry about massive credit-card debt. They got to go to the dentist. They had enormous advantages. I say, “Why can’t we have that for everyone?” The third point I make, which is probably the most compelling to them, is: “You don’t need me to make more money. You need me to tell a story of America so there is not a massive populist backlash in this country. It is not sustainable in this country for my district to have $10 trillion and places in the rest of America saying, ‘What’s going on with the American dream?’ If we don’t solve this, the tech backlash is only going to increase.

A great way to solve for this in B2B, is to hire a customer and train them as PM. They will hit the ground running much faster to bridge the gap.
Pre-trail detention isn't torture. If it were, it would be forbidden in many jurisdictions. Hard isolation is different; at the very least, it is a step in the direction of torture.

I had a friend who was an Apple service tech at a local computer store, and that's what he called it as well. I thought it was apt as you don't usually need to enter that mode unless you've DFU.
In some places salaries have to be raised legally because your title is what fixes the minimum.
The intent at least in Canada is that "engineer" should be as guarded as "veterinarian" or "lawyer" or other titles which tend to strictly imply a registered profession. This isn't novel but the status quo, effectively, and until "software engineer" started showing up everywhere the professional engineer associations were pretty consistently successfully defending their exclusivity.

I don't think "engineer" has a broad general meaning any more than "veterinarian" in the context of professions. I do think that "software engineer" does have broad general meaning, however.
My experience (FAANG) has been the opposite. PMs want to dream up features and put together a roadmap and then they think their work is done. A great PM is both creating a vision or plan and guiding the execution and iteration. The plan is the 20%.
Yeah in the UK we have chartered engineers but im guessing less than 1% of software engineers are chartered or ever need to be.

Usually the only people are the ones signing off on safety critical software or in defence.

Even in nuts and bolts engineering its only really required for flight safety/ vehicle safety, and most commonly structural engineering. Usually civil engineers take a masters in structural engineering and there the chartership and rubber stamping on stuff is much more important.

You can be a regular electrical or mechanical engineer and never need to be chartered for your entire career if you don't go near safety critical stuff.
Good good, you cited five countries, now what about the ~190 others ?

Hi,Thanks for your help. I wanted to post the comment on the ask HN:who wants to hired but unbale to comment so i was figuring out over internet but unable to find it.

Right now as well I am unable to comment in the ASK:HN who wants to be hired(December,2023)even after you vouch me, why so ?.
Ask HN: Does anyone here use Haxe?
I remember tinkering with Haxe maybe around ~2010. I was surprised to see it's still around and getting regular updates.

I was (and still am, in some ways) against the idea of learning one language and trying to use it everywhere. But nowadays, there are so many transpilation and adapter systems going on that... everything is a bit fuzzy.

That made me remember Haxe. Their goal all along was to have one unified language to deploy anywhere.

Does anyone here use Haxe regularly? In production? I'd love to hear about your experiences and what you've used it in-place of.

The exact wording of the law prohibits "Uses any other name, title, or description in a manner implying that they are a registrant of Engineers and Geoscientists BC, associated with Engineers and Geoscientists BC, or are authorized to practice the professions of engineering or geoscience in BC."

Calling himself an "unregistered engineer" should in theory satisfy the law.
No I am just saying this is one side of a story. Perhaps something is missing… perhaps not. But I have a hard time believing this story as it is.
>what is the actual game theory in the balance of power between a people and their government when the people are stripped of their ability to defend themselves from an oppressive government?

What is the actual reality that says now there's a "balance of power" between the people and their government in the US?

How did people or groups challenging it with their guns (or even peacefully) because they thought of it as an "oppressive government" fared?
What?

I mean, there are specific sizes that will fit in the L-(N) cache.

And consequently, sizes that don't suffer from the false-sharing problem in concurrent scenarios due to this.

With nix, you can't precisely specify versions of all your tooling. You have to choose a channel, and you get whatever that channel gives you. You can't upgrade one tool without upgrading everything else at the same time to whatever version the channel provides. For many dev workflows, that's not enough control.

See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/93327 (which grew from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/9682)
This is a useful connection, but I think “in our minds” is misleading. Like you say, the forms of particular things like tables are not the same forms that are the conditions of possibility of experience. The latter forms are more abstract and common to our experience of all things, like the forms of space and time and the structure of causality. That universality also shows why “in our minds” is misleading, because these forms are common to all minds and therefore cannot really be said to reside primarily in individual minds, even though they are of course employed somehow by individual minds in cognition.
"I have the same morals as a XIXth-century gold digger" is not the argument that will win you respect.

Even in theory, the article says: "The end is near: The end of flattened data and losing business information."

Honestly, I can't see how events are not more flattened data than a properly designed relational database.

In fact, IMHO the only reason to use events exclusively, is to sell one of these "fancy" NoSQL databases.
There are so many frameworks, systems, and products I’m not sure you can have a broad certification to be able to call yourself a licensed professional in any reasonable sense. I became an engineer in training for electrical engineering but decided to pursue a software career as I enjoyed it more and it was more lucrative.

Not too mention that whatever you build has so many dependencies that would all have to fall under some category of licensed or industrial grade just to be used.

Besides move fast and break things with venture capital is not aligned with the risks that a licensed professional would have.
I'm a PM (I now exclusively look for the 'technical' qualifier before any role I consider) -- I could not agree more with what you wrote. The last paragraph particularly.

Lately, I've been responsible for mentoring other PM's. Sure there's the widely shared roadmap, but also -- I can't tell you how many documents and sheets are created that are literally never seen again by anyone other than me, and I get the feeling were created to demonstrate that they are working. It's a habit I try to break.

The reason I advocate for technical product management so strongly is I've (over)simplified the problem in my head to be that some PM's are stuck at that high level of abstraction because they're unable to communicate with their teams on the detailed technical matters on a daily basis. So they end up in a weird grey area of project/product management.

I quite like that Clojure’s recur makes it easy to tell at a glance if a recursion will be efficient.
I don’t think most parts of the chain enjoy the volatility. Perhaps the generators who could capture the spikes but it seems that for most parts of the chain, stability in prices would drive more consistent margins. Spikes in prices would suggest market inefficiency and drive more generation.
While i agree with you - don't a lot of laws/courts/etc judge things by the spirit of the law/action/etc? I have to imagine that making subtle changes to reserved keywords is handled for.. i hope lol.
As far as I understand, Hong Kong has this Offshore Tax Exemption, where your earnings will be tax-exempt as long as you can demonstrate that your earnings are from foreign sources (i.e., offshore sources outside of Hong Kong).
Do you think someone that hasn't gone to medical school should be able to tell people they're a doctor?
That non-theatrical role would likely be better served by actual throttling or computational proof of work.
I studied computer engineering. It's not a CS curriculum and it prepares you for the PE test. They also drill into your head that you can only refer to your self professionally as an engineer in Canada if you pass your engineering practice exams. Just to illustrate the difference between a computer engineering workload and a CS workload, I generally had 40 hours of classes, tutorials and lectures per week while my CS friends had about 24.
Having been using gitea at work for a while as an "internal mini-github" (along with a github organisation for stuff that isn't purely internal or would otherwise benefit for that) I have to say it ... hasn't annoyed me noticeably.

So I think I'd put gitea* on that list as well.

(I don't think I disagree with your opinions about the ones you -have- listed)

* and I mean that to include forgejo, I think, though I haven't tried it so YMMV
> Why should efficient lending decisions somehow be uniquely hard to make in a large corporation with many local branch offices?

The trouble is that the decisions can't be entrusted to the branch offices, so you wind up being a little stiff and inflexible and slow.

Yes. We already have laws for fraud. Calling yourself doctor is one thing, holding yourself out as a licensed medical professional is another.

If RZA calls himself "riza" then that be how is pronounced.

My name is "eegor" not "eyegor" is not what you want to call things is how they are pronounced.
This post feels a bit overly sympathetic to what amounts to a rug pull on the part of the business.

I don’t think anyone argues that charging for this thing is unfair, the act of offering it for free to acquire users then rug pulling to charge for it is the gross thing here. You can argue that people should have planned for this kind of thing and that it’s a risk you take with FOSS, but there were other, less rug-pull-ey approaches that could have been taken here. It just so happens that they might have affected growth numbers and subsequently made the company less money
Professional engineering in Canada means you swore an oath the protect the public, and you went through an accredited 4 year engineering program for specific programs and then passed an exam and have put x amount of years of practical experience.

We should absolutely have that level of accreditation for disciplines where public safety is incredibly high. For an attempted politicians to use title inflation to gain publics trust is pretty bad and ruins the value that engineering had developed from holding a high bar for accountability.
I’ve always had an iPhone, so I can’t speak to RCS with a lot of authority.

I assume the path was like iMessage. People used the default messaging app which used SMS. One day it got an upgrade and just started using RCS if the other person was providing a better experience.

It wasn’t an active choice to switch to it, just the power of defaults. I guarantee you that no normal person knows what RCS is by name. At most they would know that sending messages to iPhones is somehow “different“ and it doesn’t work as well (SMS fallback).

Also sort of makes me wonder if the “open iMessage” stuff will all be sort of a tempest in a teapot within a year or so. Once iPhones get RCS I wonder if people will care that much outside of ideological reasons.

The Final Speech from The Great Dictator (1940)
I think for most people who want to get started with SRS, Anki is just fine. A lot of people like to hate its UI but I personally find it perfectly fine (and even good before the recent update where they forced drop shadows on random UI elements). It being available on every major platform is also a major plus point for when one needs to review cards with no access to their workstation.

That being said, the $40 is probably what holds most people back from using SuperMemo. If I had $40 to spend on SRS without feeling guilty I'd 100% use SM over Anki.
I don't follow your point.
Speaking as a chronic procrastinator, I think GP is more referring to the difficulty that comes with actually /adding/ items that need to be done. At least, that's always been one of the difficulties for me.

> Somewhere around this point, people began spewing mindless drivel about how browsers would somehow magically replace operating systems eventually, and how in the future all applications would be "web based". This, of course, got Microsoft's attention.

Microsoft was right to worry. The browser is the only app most people use on the laptop today.

What should they have done? I'm asking this not as a rhetorical question, to justify their behaviour, but because I think it's interesting, and they still haven't answered it.

I'm good with NASA being risk averse when it comes to human lives. NASA is about exploration, and space isn't going anywhere. If it takes us 10 or 20 or 100 extra years it's all still space.

Last time NASA rushed it was because of a "war", and even then it was really just a vast international tantrum. Nobody really "won" the space race. Somebody got a trophy and someone got a participation certificate and the world went on as before.

I am glad for the research and I would far rather nations competed via engineering stunts than blowing each other up. Especially when those stunts manage to produce some spinoffs and some science... though any science is bound to produce both.
Do people really have such a violent reaction to using ~100MB of disk space for one of the most advanced compilers in the world?

I have 2TB of internal SSD storage on my laptop, and I can buy extra TB's for $50 each.

Why on earth would I balk at 100MB?

Some webpages serve half of that in optimized images for crying out loud, lol.
It's not really title inflation when it's the colloquial term though. The issue is the verbiage used in licensure hasn't kept up with modern English.

Creating a New Social App: Private Groups, Simple Feed
I'm thinking of making a social media app just for private groups, kind of like Instagram but simpler – no reels or discover page, just posts from people you follow. What features do you think would make it cool, and any important things I should think about? Your thoughts are important! Also, would you use an app like this and why?
And if a non licensed medical professional told people they were a doctor for political capital, should that be allowed? I have an engineering degree but I don't claim to be an engineer, that's a protected term in Canada.

>Dirty energy is (often) cheap, so that's the energy the bad actors will use

Hmm, I don't get this, surely all actors will want the cheapest energy, no? The problem being the underlying one, that the dirty energy doesn't pay its externalities and is thus cheaper than renewables.
HN is also not really a very attractive target. The only thing you can do is post spam, and that's pretty low-value in terms of actual monetary value to the abuser, and tools to deal with that have been around for decades as you say.

This is very different from many other sites where the potential to make a buck is much more pronounced and direct.
The core misunderstanding you have here is about the role of miners. The game theory that makes blockchains safe to use in a untrusted distributed fashion is that anyone can just look at the chain and be convinced it's correct under its own logic. If most users are just relying on third parties to tell them about the blockchain then they can't be sure of its correctness. And that gives power to miners to collude between themselves and service providers to just change the consensus rules as they see fit, including in ways that are detrimental to the broader user.

And why shouldn't people in developing countries run full nodes? Are you saying it's fine for them to be dependent on service providers in rich countries that can then control/surveil their activity?
Isn’t that also true of engineering in the physical world?

I wouldn’t have any problem with there being a licensing body for software engineers. This would encompass safety-critical areas like automotive and aeronautical software systems, military systems, etc.

I don’t feel there is a need for your generic CRUD app developer to be an engineer. And there’s nothing wrong with being “just” a developer.
Yup. A doctor of philosophy is a doctor; but he shouldn't be allowed to call himself a Doctor of Medicine, if he doesn't have a doctorate in medicine.

[Edit] "Doctor" is from the Latin docēre, "to teach". That is, a doctor in some field is a person with enough expertise to teach that field. From that POV, a medical doctor is an anomaly; my General Practitioner is an MD, but he's not qualified to teach medical students.
I guess I just assumed that now that he had the proper credentials, he could go a get a job with them?

I'm not sure what your economy and job market are like in Australia right now, maybe this is a misguided assumption.

Also, in America, there's almost no ways to guarantee you a specific income, since minimum wages for salaries outside of government positions don't exist.
