> I don't remember Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox ever changing their behaviour to match a standard, they just got their behaviour declared as the standard and ignored the cases where they didn't.

This is not even remotely true. There’s thousands upon thousands of bugs publicly available in Bugzilla showing fixes to standards conformance, not to mention the Acid Test and things like that.

As far as “got their behaviour declared as the standard”, in several important cases the opposite is true. The reason why Netscape 4 was so terrible with CSS is because there were two competing approaches for styling – CSS, which Microsoft had already started implementing; and JSSS which Netscape had already started implementing. The W3C picked CSS, and Netscape scrambled to catch up by transcoding CSS into JSSS as a stopgap measure. Which is also why Netscape 4 lost CSS support when JavaScript was disabled.
Only because you have no clue about our history.

East Germany nuclear power plants were shut down due to security risks.

Chernobyl was a fucked up crazy event here too.

Even now you need to test meat from animals when they are shot I a certain area due to unhealthy levels.

And while France build 56 plants we never build that many in the first place.

And countries still struggle to build them. Olkiluoto 3 was planned to be done after 4 years, it took them overall 18 years!

And yes we are a democracy and a lot of people in Germany don't like to live next to a nuclear power plant.

France has the double of density btw.

That's only if you needed a signal to cross the whole chip in one cycle. There's no such limitation preventing a 1 foot wide chip from being filled with 5ghz cores on an appropriate ring bus.
Sorry, but I think a lot of people see it differently. Whilst I think the most wholesome message would be one of "everyone of all types working together to advance humanity", a lot of people seem to see it as a scorecard. +1 on your side means a -1 in the "opposition's".

Hence somebody who was one of one thousand doesn't get described "one of the army of people who helped defeat evil", but have their role inflated to an individual responsible for some key aspect. That way you don't have to acknowledge the contribution of others who, in truth, did the same as they did.
>So it's no surprise that the AIs are now good at solving them

Funnily enough, AI may be better at solving them than people. I've encountered many Google captchas which reject the correct answers, because you know... bots trained it to accept incorrect ones. Anyway, at least it's not stop signs anymore. It must have been truly embarrassing that Google was simultaneously selling "self driving" cars but at the same time demonstrating that stop sign recognition couldn't be done by robots.
You mention some great points but I'm not a fan of the "focus on soft skills; being amusing in interviews has always been my superpower" advice. That's not scalable and means nothing given the limited context.
> As a developer, and a development manager, the best product managers I've worked with rarely got involved in the "how".

My experience is completely the opposite.
PMs that don't understand the how, that is, they don't know how their product works, are the worst.

Best PMs that I worked with had a technical background.
A recall for essential maintenance is just that. I would focus on the need for an urgent update due to the flaws rather than the issuing agency's lack of more accurate terminology for a relatively new element to cars. Rolling around in semantic mud on the term recall is not sensible, as the definition in regards to cars is fairly specific [0]. Basically a recall just means there is a safety defect that must be addressed by the manufacturer. In Tesla's case, yes, they can push out an update, but the delivery mechanism of the means of addressing the defect should not be the focus.

Hi vforissi,

The site looks like a clean implementation of a simple idea, allowing someone to acknowledge a negative event, and by expressing in words and externalising, let it go

On the below post, I wonder what your thoughts are on this kind of interpretation of depression? Does it fit with your understanding and the above method?
https://fragments.themanual.io/zonal-ban/
If the self driving system were worth it's salt, it wouldn't matter if the drivers weren't paying attention. Ergo, the system sucks, or is at the very least not nearly as good as Tesla likes to tout.
Imagine the safety culture if accidents were the only way to die!

Those kinds of printers aren't used to print things directly from within WinWord.exe though.
This isn't due to fundamental cost increasing per transistor though, this is because NVidia changed their pricing strategy to decouple it from that.

It turns out many others prefer banking locally with smaller banks or credit unions. The market is meeting the demand.

I’m not even sure why you’re intent on blaming small banks for the slow rollout. The article notes that the large banks introduced a competing system in 2017 and it took years to deploy. That’s with all of the advantages of large bank efficiencies and none of the pesky government bureaucracy. We always hear stories about the legacy COBOL systems these big banks have and how it hinders innovation.

It seems to me this more a case of no incentive. If this were such a highly sought after feature, customers would flock to the banks providing it, but they’re not. It’s worth considering why so many choose smaller banks. They can certainly choose large banks but aren’t, despite whatever efficiencies large banks can supply.
I really doubt that GPT-4 had the "will" to do anything. Someone must have asked it to "want" to trick a user.
Web app has usually the least friction, unless when it's not. For this particular app, it can be a very simple widget on the website homepage even. Shouldn't require any js framework etc and all data will be local in your browser. As a demo widget or full blown html/JS app, both can work.
This is interesting!

Interesting take on SystemD. I personally find it very helpful, but one of its major downsides as a project is that it is, to borrow a quote from Benno Rice, "aggressively Linux-specific". That said, it appears their own software choices prevent them from using it as summarized in the following quote:

> That’s why one of the goals in Chimera is to implement the actual useful systemd functionality, but independently and in our own way, without the shortcomings.

I question whether it would be possible for SystemD to be portable to other software stacks? Seems like it would be useful enough to attempt that port rather than literally rewrite SystemD, and you get to satisfy _both_ the SystemD stans and the haters at the same time! But who knows, it might lead to some kind of future innovation to have competing products doing the same thing...
This. There are plenty of government websites etc out there that have completely antiquated captchas next to the helpful "works best in Internet Explorer 6" suggestion.
I think a fairer solution will be some form of proof of personhood that isn't PoW-based. Your idea isn't bad but it gives more power to those who can afford a lot of devices. You know those Chinese mobile phone click farms they use to game app stores? It will be like that, PoW can prevent spam only to a certain degree and with all the social media and networks we have today there is a lot of money in influencing the users. So spending a few million dollars on devices can be very profitable if it lets you boost certain messages.

Once they get fully trained then how will websites ever distinguish between an intelligent bot and real human? At least now, they are outsourcing that filtering to services like cloudflare. But with this kind of training, how will even cloudflare distinguish between bot and the human?
Side projects and leetcode will take you further when you secure interviews.

One thing you didn’t mention is your resume. Are you writing the right thing when applying? Saying you’ve worked on bug fixing most of the time is a great skill but needs to be communicated differently.

Something like:

A team player with long experience improving legacy code bases and maintaining projects with little guidance.

Working with different languages is fantastic too, ensure having example for each but in your resume intro (objectives), focus on your highest skill and make keywords related to the job description in bold. Recruiters spend only 6 seconds skimming resumes so make sure to give them a reason to stop and read.

Make your LinkedIn profile up to date, populate all your skills and your work history.

Good luck!
So, france is able to store it all in a single warehouse despite being a majority nuclear grid, so volume isnt a concern. Environmentalist policy effectively shut down a plan for long term storage where its stored underground with signs designed to be understood by future civilizations. No, instead we will do this the hard way, where we have to build out 1000x++ the worlds battery capacity because there are no environmental concerns there, makes total sense.
> This is not Apple opening up iMessage to other platforms.

Which I never claimed.

> Sorry, but iMessage is not RCS.

The only person who keeps repeating "iMessage is RCS" is yourself.

> You can claim they’re the same as much as you’d like, but their only similarities is that iMessage will send messages to RCS and support the native carrier chosen RCS features.

Less than 1% of iphone users even know what e2ee is. Less than .01% disable that icloud backup thing that makes iMessage e2ee useless for them and their contacts.

If iOS has a messaging system that is capable of things imessage today is capable of and is interoperable with android then the only people for whom the separation between imessage and RCS matters is pedantic nerds, no offence.
Presumably there exists (or will exist?) a WHQL-signed minidriver that passes any processing step to a userland process?

It is only for resource-constrained machines of the early-1990s that printer-drivers needed any kind of kernel-level access to a system; with IPP and modern USB stacks no-longer needing any kind of kernel module, I'm not seeing how this should be a problem for anyone except domestic spy agencies losing the ability to

> Basically way more than half of the people are democrats and they are denied proportional representation because if they had it either USA would become one party system with a perpetually disgruntled minority opposition that would need to be controlled or it would have to have an actual multipolar democracy but that would interfere with making money the usual way too much.

If you had e.g. approval voting then you would have a multi-party system even using the existing districts etc. If you had districts all of equal size (and didn't have the Senate) but still used first past the post, you would still have a two party system and they would still each hold about half the seats, but the positions of the parties would change to reflect the change in the electoral map.

Democrats like to think this would benefit them, but it's not as simple as "left gets more representation" at all. It would change what Democrats are (and what Republicans are).

For example, the current system causes rural areas to be over-represented, but rural areas have lower incomes, and changing that would increase the representation of higher income people. A large proportion of US federal spending exists to transfer wealth from under-represented populations to over-represented populations as political arbitrage of the difference in representation, so changing it could plausibly cause government programs to be cut as you increase the representation of the people currently paying for them at the expense of the current recipients.

Not all of that is necessarily bad but it's definitely not simple or anything that cleanly aligns with traditional notions of right vs. left.

Obvious example: Ideologically, agricultural subsidies are textbook socialism but are currently held in place by Republicans and might be the first thing on the chopping block.

Yeah that's what I mean. Downloading an image from a link generated by the LLM is following its link. Just don't do that (unless the same link is present in the source material).
All of these practices feel fairly benign compared to what microsoft is doing now.

At the time they merely shipped the browser with the OS. I don't think this would even raise an eyebrow now. They were also accused of adding new features only in IE which forced websites to deal with incompatible browsers. /s of course this is a problem developers do not need to deal with anymore!

The Microsoft we are dealing with now gives you warnings if you are trying to install another browser and makes it difficult to change your default browser. And in that space Apple has done way worse: breaking internet standards by deprecating flash (and other unsupported features), banning 3rd party browsers on iOS completely. And using their dominant position to force the deprecation of internet standards is another thing google is not shy about either.
> Your stance is essentially: “how dare they give jobs and homes to those workers!”

Precisely. Workers get jobs and earn money. Companies stay out of the rest.

> Company towns are like baking a fancy baked good.

What's that old phrase.. "to make a good omelette you have to break a few eggs?" The import of which could never be greater. These are workers lives you're playing around with, without supervision, and often with an underprivileged and thus less educated class that may not be sophisticated enough to understand the type of exchange they're entering into.

Incorporation is cheap (if I remember correctly?), but you basically need a service provider to sign off on your accounts, VAT, and so on, so the cost is more ongoing expenses than setup costs.

There was also a way of doing it with the DOM that Mozilla implemented. I don’t recall the specifics, it was something like you would instantiate a new Document object and then call open() on it with a URL. It ended up being abandoned when XMLHttpRequest was made the standard by WHATWG I think.
Show HN: Made a free Sprint Retrospective app
Hey HN, I just wanted to share the latest addition to my free agile tools platform. A free sprint retrospective app!

I've been working on this project solo for about a year now, and if your team uses planning poker or sprint retrospectives, I'd love for you to give it a try.

Thanks!
I (and I think many people here) would be more than happy to pay a reasonable price for a reasonable product (haven’t tried yet this, but I think anything between 2$ and 10$ would be fine).

I know that software is not free to build, so I don’t expect it’s free to use. If you want to keep the product free, you can always add a Donate me button, to let people show their appreciation.

Kudos to you for letting us know what is the way you expect to make money. I try to never use software or services where the “making money” part is not clear.

I wouldn’t probably pay for a service, but I might be happy to pay a one time fee for a function that dumps the todo file (I understand it’s a csv) every time there is an update so I can integrate that on some other workflow (like committing to git, or importing into obsidian).

Another thing I might pay for is a iPhone app so I can mark todos completed on the go, but it’s probably very difficult to to a always on window there.
How did the OP get from the article linked to the title of this post?
Most Germans are horrified by this. But this has neither to do with the phase-out of nuclear reactors nor by the state of the energy supply in Germany in 2023. When Russia cut off the gas supply to Germany, there were of course a few concerns, but fortunately, Germany quickly managed to replace the Russian gas via the international markets. On top of that, since the change of the government in late 21, the ramp up of renewables has greatly accellerated again. As a consequence, despite taking the last 4 nuclear plants off the grid, coal usage in Germany is down considerably.

The current plan is to ramp down coal till 2030 which also puts an end to mining. Still, mining some more coal is profitable for the power companies and they are pushing to mine most of the coal which was approved for mining earlier on. But there is still considerable pressure to limit mining more.
Honestly open source projects such that you can point to work you did without requiring an interview is super effective.

I'm honestly unconvinced leetcode practice is useful, there's a significant misunderstanding on coding interviews (google, apple, MS-to-an-extent ask questions I've seen labeled "leet code" but generally as a result of people not understanding the goal of such questions). Companies that are doing "real" leetcode questions in the sense of "could produce a solution for this specific weird question? yes/no" are probably not something you'd want to work for in the long term, and general "make sure you can explain what you are doing while writing code, make sure you can come up with test cases, make sure you can come up with solution trade offs" practice will work for leetcode, and be more useful to less questionable companies.

One other big thing is to try to tailor your CV/resume to each job you apply to. For mass application that isn't really feasible, but if you're only applying to 5-20 a little tailoring of your resume to each position (in the order of a couple of sentences on your background and specialities) is helpful. Your CV should also be as short as possible, no more than two pages, ideally one. Don't include irrelevant prior jobs, if you've been working more than a couple of years the jobs are more important than your degrees if you have them, and your school grades do not matter. Of what you keep, prioritize the jobs and qualifications relevant to the specific job. e.g. if the job you're applying to is primarily C++ your CV should put more emphasis on your C++ experience than the JS ones, etc.

This is not necessarily true. For instance someone coming from Linux might be uncomfortable installing non open source source from not trusted origin (I.e. not the distribution package manager).

Also, installing anything anywhere is potentially a huge security risk, so I see why people use browsers as convenient sandboxes for trying out software.
'Proof of Work' as it's generally understood is done by computers only. But I guess I understand what you're asking and the answer is yes, that is a problem.

Double taxation agreements are not a way to cut your tax rate. They are usually structured in a way that makes sure you pay the higher of the two tax rates.

Also, companies cannot directly and permanently employ people living and working in other countries without having a legal establishment there acting as the employer. Without a local legal entity to employ you, you'd have to register as self employed and then it doesn't matter for personal income tax where your customers are (It may matter for VAT though).

Some countries offer various temporary exceptions for expats, but the general rule is that you pay personal income tax and social security contributions in your country of residence.
Like, even if you could make the case that these have paid themselves off carbon wise, the implicit conclusion is that the wind farm was wasting space that they could use for mining coal, something they were getting rid of not long ago when they had nuclear instead. Any way you chop this, the german energy and environmental policies are strangling the economy there and represent a net regression in actual environmental conservation.
