I love mechanical pinball machines. My cousin used to restore them. I remember visiting him and he'd have them all over his house.

They're so noisy. I can't imagine the sound of a pinball arcade back in the day when they were all mechanical.

Also, did you know the qbert arcade cabinets contained a the free game wood block traditionally found inside pinball machines.

> What’s preventing the manager from asking? More generally I think this is handled by standups (really any daily report of “here’s what I’m doing”) or some type of ticketing system.

Nothing, however the level of detail is different. Daily stand ups are good to spot blockers and "take it offline" when there's a problem. If reports do not raise problems and the manager doesn't smell one, they won't go deep into understanding what you're doing. If you have many reports is hard to go deep into everything every day, particularly if you have a fullstack team or a variety of projects not closely related.

Ticketing system would be ideal if everyone was an stellar communicator, and devs, including myself (and I've been told I am a good communicator by managers when I was an IC) often won't update tickets every day with all the nuance required to understand your work deeply. Managers at large companies also are juggling many things that is impractical to do a full sync with everyone every day (hence the need for weekly or fortnightly 1:1s).

Information contained in a ticketing system also will often be filtered for "public" (anyone in the company) consumption, and there will be information (this other team is being unresponsive on chat and docs and I had to book meetings with them, etc) not reflected there. It may also often contain the 'outcome' of an investigation or status, not how you got there (more verbose communicators may include both, but that's rarely the case) which is also important to assess your work.
I've been there. You have to communicate with your manager and be honest about how much you can do how quickly. Start small, with one component in one programming language. Learn the language and the frameworks. Ideally you'll be allowed time to do so. After you're familiar with the technologies the code will be easier to understand. Make notes on the code. Read the docs and if they're missing info, find out and fill it in; that way you're learning and contributing. I like starting from the database models, data is usually the heart of an application. It's important not to feel like you have to rush. Learning big things takes time.

This is not true.

The compiler can trivially turn this into a jump, but the developer doesn't have enough context to construct any kind of loop:

function ap(f, v) { return f(v); }
I agree that seeing where someone is reading (with blobs moving around in your visual field while you are trying to read) is not good. It doesn't correspond to any physical experience of being in a room with someone, or any positive, helpful experience of collaboration. There's a reason we don't attend lectures with laser pointers strapped to our heads, to make visible where everyone's eyeballs are looking on the projector screen or whiteboard. When I'm reading a magazine in a waiting room, I'm not socially isolated by the fact that the reading experience is not a synchronous collaboration with other people around the world.

The fact that this idea was even proposed and explored makes me think there are some common-sense principles and ground rules that are not being followed, like a first filter after brainstorming new digital experiences. For example, hmm, brainstorming here, part of working in the same room as other people is you can hear their phones buzzing when they get texts. What if we made an app that gets notified when one of your friends' phones buzzes, for any reason, and it makes your phone buzz at a lower volume, so it's more like you're in the same room even if you are on the other side of the world? No, that is a bad idea because it would just be annoying and distracting.

One should ask, under what circumstances do people currently read the same thing at the same time, in each other's presence? What creates a feeling of presence in this case? What makes the experience feel better or worse? Do we even care what strangers are reading? In a meeting, people are usually reading on their own screens or pages, or one person reads to another or to the group. There are situations like reading the same sign at a museum exhibit or art gallery, where there is presence with a stranger (which may or may not even be a positive thing). I think the first thing my brain needs to know is how many people are standing around next to me. Reddit threads have a little indicator that says something like "17 people here." To have a blurry cursor blob suddenly moving across my screen without an indication of how many people are "here" is disorienting. That doesn't happen in real life unless someone is out of sight playing with a laser pointer or flashlight, or there's a sniper.

I really would hope this would be 101-level thinking for this field.

I've worked at workplaces that had a video "portal" between two office locations, and that worked fine, if you could choose whether you want to work in view of the camera.

It's really interesting how, every time a negative point about Tesla appears on this forum, there's an instant chorus of defenders who jump in and punt it how 1. biased 2. incorrect and 3. ignorant, the original post is.

It's almost like Tesla has hired a top tier PR agency to manage negative social media content and protect its reputation.

There's nothing illegal about that of course. It's just really impressive.

Ohh this has already started. Happened to me the other day: machine for rectal air insufflation under x-ray guidance to allow reduction of an intussusception (a condition where the bowel folds in on itself). It primarily affects young children and if the procedure fails they require an open operation. Failure to treat the intussusception eventually results in bowel perforation, peritonitis and potentially death.

Went to start the procedure, machine reports it’s ready to work, all set up, assistant presses start, cryptic error messages. No way to fix. Turns out our license has improperly expired for reasons unknown. No way to override.

It’s past 5 pm Friday of the New Year’s weekend. No one on call for the company has any idea how to fix. Took three hours repeatedly phoning the company to finally get put through to an engineer who gave us magic series of button presses and codes to get the machine working.

We used to have a purely mechanical machine, maintained in house by an on site engineer. Now we have to deal with this. There is only one company making these machines, so no competition. Progress.
I sadly stopped supporting veritasium and smarter everyday on patreon because their clickbaty title failed to get me interested in watching the videos anymore.

I sure the economics work out in their favour and the actual content is still great, but for me it wasn't even a conscious decision more like a fading away.

Sad that these day giving even a hint of the actual topic in the titles seems to turn off the algorithm/viewers. That and "short" formats for videos that really need an in-depth discussion.

I think for most doctors not exactly true.

Software engineering is generally extremely well compensated for the amount of work. I have found in my career that the more demanding the role, the better compensation. Often enough that it was easy to pick out the roles that did not have adequate comp.

I think it’s also just as easy to find a lower comp role that is not demanding. That’s all I meant.

It looks like they are basing their washing machine energy use on an old top loader. Newer top loaders should use less, and front loaders can use a lot less. They give 36 kWh per month for a family of 4.

I just recently replaced my 19 year old top loader with the second cheapest full sized front loader that I could find at local appliance stores (LG WM3400CW). It was about 30% more than the cheapest full sized top loaders. According to the energy label it uses 8.3 kWh per month for 6 loads. Most of the comparable front loaders were similar.

The top loaders I considered at were in the 15-20 kWh per month for 6 loads range. More expensive top loaders (about 20% more expensive than LG WM3400CW I bought) got down to around 10 kWh per month for 6 loads, almost as good as the WM3400CW.

> Do you also think it's fine to shit in other people's wells or for companies to dump their toxic waste in the middle of other companies parking lots as long as you/they haven't signed a contract explicitly agreeing not to?

You are using loaded words to 1) imply I would support some questionable actions where you assume intent and 2) refer to negative externalities, but I'll suppose you are not trolling interact in good faith with you.

Both the actions you define are ignoring property rights: your well, your parking lot = I can't do that, unless you allow me (with a contract!)

My well, my parking lot = I can do that, and you don't get to say what I do with my property, unless we have signed a contract which creates liability.

Many people seem to have a strong desire to be able to force ME to update MY browser/operating system/bios/whatever else to be up to THEIR standards, because it has consequences on THEIR liability.

I care a bit about them, but I care way more about MY freedom: I do what I what with MY computers.

Note that intent matters: I have no desire to cause bad things to other people. I'd be very sad if my computer was used as "part of a botnet" like someone else said. I might even try to avoid that - but only as far as it puts my freedom first, and there's not even a requirement that I try (because I might have better things to do lol)

Should bad things like botnets happen, 1) it wasn't my intent, as preserving my freedom was my intent 2) the negative externality is sad, but it's not my liability: you should secure your property, or said differently "your problems aren't my problem"

This whole interaction feels very strange to me. By any chance, are you European? Europeans seem to have very different concepts of freedom and liability than we do.
After another successful bunch of predictions made a year ago: [0] Let's go through them one by one:

> "More crypto regulations will be introduced with at least one exchange going down in 2023."

The FCA brought in new crypto regulations around promoting cryptocurrencies [1] and MiCA was enforced in the EU in 2023 [2]:

Bittrex Global announced that they are winding down. [3]

> "Startups MUST now turn a healthy growing profit to qualify for further VC investment rather than from pure hype."

Well this time, hype is not enough to get VC investment anymore due to the cessation of the zero interest rate phenomenon, given the slowing of VC funding in general in 2023 [4] [5]

> "OpenAI will gain further investment, ChatGPT by then will become a paid service with some startups fully sitting on top of the OpenAI API will also raise their prices or shut down."

The first prediction turned true with the first 10 days of 2023 [6], then 72 hours later after that the second prediction became true [7] and a paid service exists and now we have startups sitting on top of the API obviously having to charge more. The best example is Jasper.ai breathlessly comparing against ChatGPT and are charging more than ChatGPT+. (Jasper charges $49 vs $20 for ChatGPT Plus.)

This time I have only one prediction:

* Another war will be started in the east. Most likely China will invade Taiwan due to the weakness of leadership in the US under Biden. If Biden gets elected again, then it will certainly happen. Otherwise, the invasion will be further delayed.

I would argue that quite contrary is true - we do have moral obligation to stop genocide of Ukrainians by Russia.

Your description is also not factually correct considering multiple revolutions in Ukraine that tried to set the course toward NATO and EU but you have to also take into account that Ukraine is also too important for Russia and Ukraine was actively attacked by Russian intelligence services and finally direct war against Ukraine in 2014 to prevent it joining NATO.

We should also take into account deceptive manipulations by the West like the Budapest memorandum that created an impression of false security.

But even regardless of this, not supporting Ukraine would be incredibly dumb move for US that will seriously hurt its geopolitical position. War in Ukraine, multiple coups in Africa, Hamas attack on Israel, now these attacks on ships.

Look to where just cowardly moving out of Afghanistan has taken us.

Another humiliating retreat would be a colossal blow to US.

Musk is an attention seeking narcissist, a serial liar, and a deadbeat.

He's a grub.
Or the person doing the prompt hacking intending to produce this result from you would be.
The critical distinction is IMO that the examples he gives are all examples of where the prediction forms part of its own outcome. Whether interest rate go up depends on whether people think interest rates will go up. Same with GDP and all the other examples.

Having this recursion is a massive problem, because there might not be a stable point where the prediction and its outcome are fixed.

This may be why it's hard to steer cars automatically. I don't know enough about the subject, but it would seem to fit in the category of "fields where what you think affects what happens".

By contrast, a lot of other phenomena are complicated but do not have this prediction-feedback effect. The weather, astronomical observations, a lot of engineering systems.

I've read the most contradicting views on what to expect from the stock market in 2024. Yes, it'll continue going down at least until the traditional February bump. But I've seen a lot of things saying that afterward, we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, with stocks going through the roof by the end of the year.

Is it true? I don't know. I do know the Motley Fool guys love this sort of thing so they can give opposite opinions that let them be right either way.

But I am hoping 2024 begins another period where there is a lot to be made in the markets. 2023 had some great picks, but they weren't nearly as plentiful as after the tech bubble and after 2008 yet.

I'm open to everyone's opinions on what markets are going to succeed this year. It's apparent Nvidia will be one of the ones to actually go through the roof.

Associated positively, which argues against policies to make meat more expensive:

'Worldwide, bivariate correlation analyses revealed that meat intake is positively correlated with life expectancies. This relationship remained significant when influences of caloric intake, urbanization, obesity, education and carbohydrate crops were statistically controlled. Stepwise linear regression selected meat intake, not carbohydrate crops, as one of the significant predictors of life expectancy. In contrast, carbohydrate crops showed weak and negative correlation with life expectancy.'
I studied design. I know what an en-dash is, and an em-dash, and I know when to use them. I know about reading gravity, and page furniture and leading and kerning and ligatures and all that stuff. I love that stuff.

But in the end "Proper typography" is just a set of general guidelines. They are not unbreakable rules; nor are they applicable to every audience in every situation. In fact, one design rule that I remember is to "understand your audience".

I think the audience for Hacker News generally prizes economy, efficiency, time and information density; wants to see more LOC on screen not less, and probably a reasonable percentage spend their day looking at screens like this:

https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/0*cZ0wb7K2E6qtZtt...

(This is an exaggeration, but exaggerations are useful for understanding sometimes).

It's less a wierd hostility to proper typography, and more an understandable hostility to affecting what is comfortable and efficient; lastly don't underestimate the power of an idiosyncratic design: it has character, it is recognisable, and it stands out.
Why would you come to _Hacker_ News, of all places, and expect sympathy for the "[coding is just] a day job to pay the bills" mindset? Virtually none of the amazing hacks that get posted here on HN come from people who view computers like that.

Yikes, 4chan as culture? I expect there is much truth in what you are saying, but I remember quite clearly an incident in 2014 where a fellow fitness enthusiast and bodybuilder chastised me for offering him food with tofu in it because of the estrogen content of soy. He was already injecting testosterone, so ingesting soy would be, as he put it, "going the wrong way".

In my experience hardcore competitive bodybuilding culture in particular does not cross over with 4chan very much. The users of 4chan tend to be too young to have entered to competitive bodybuilding scene so the generations are different, plus there are other cultural issues. Putting time into 4chan and time into the gym are not obviously exclusive of each other but in practice end up being so.

Show HN: A collection of shell/Terraform scripts to host a web site on AWS
Regularly register a domain and want to put some web content there?

This repo includes:

A shell script that:

* Adds a hosted zone in Route53 for your domain
* Prints the NS records for your domain so you can update your registrar

AND

A Terraform module that does the following:

* Creates an S3 bucket (domainname)
* Creates a second S3 bucket for logs (domainname-logs) with a lifecycle policy to delete logs after 15 days
* Creates a CloudFront distribution
* Creates an SSL certificate for the domain name (adding www. as a subject alternative name)
* Creates a Route53 record for the domain name (adding www. as a CNAME)
* Creates an IAM user & policy for a github action. Warning: Check the permissions, they are too liberal right now :).
* (optional) Creates Route53 MX records and TXT validation record for Google Workspace

AND

A shell script that:

* Adds AWS credentials to your github repo secrets so you can use a github action to deploy your website to the bucket (using something like Jekyll).
