I haven't really found swapping teams or companies to be particularly effective. Within a company, often every team has the same basic tools, workflows, and problems that come from the top.

I guess you need to really analyze what isn't working for you, and then try to fix that. In my case, I still like the programming/problem solving aspect, but I have no interest in scrum calls, sprint planning, elaborate frameworks and build pipelines, and all the other pervasive meta-work.

I think my burnout will persist until I can get away from that, possibly my changing career tracks altogether.
Yes, I was talking about this.

https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-35... has some docs

Really it boils down to specific SoC and even specific device; it is futile to try to generalize too much. But Rockchip has seen steady progress in this front, and I'd assume older devices like rk3399 based ones especially would have pretty solid support.

I'd guess it's simply because most people have never heard of it.

I just downloaded it to try it out, and it looks really nice, although it completely ignores my system theme stuff so it looks extremely ugly, but that's beside the point because LibreOffice is far uglier.

There's also the fact that OnlyOffice is made by a company for profit, and that turns a lot of FOSS away. Many, including me, are into FOSS because of some underlying anti-capitalist reasons and avoid it out of principle (though I'll admit I simply didn't know of its existence).
The first multiplayer PKM tool – put in a thought or idea, discover related ones
The world does not need another note-taking or PKM tool but I wanted a specific one so I spent the past year quietly building it.

I wanted something easy to use, without a steep learning curve or excessive customization.

Something that would let me capture anything from anywhere and show it to me in a way that makes sense.

Something purpose built to curate my knowledge library, without doubling as a to-do list, project management tool, or CRM system.

Something to help me connect ideas, not just collect them.

Something that feels equal parts personal and communal. This last part is the best of Sublime.

On Sublime, you're not alone. When you put a thought or idea - you discover related ideas from other people's libraries.

This last part of the value prop is something that is hard to describe in words - you have to feel it.

So I'd love your help - what do you like about the landing page? What do you dislike about it? What questions are left unanswered. I take constructive criticism very well, and happy to give beta access to helpful responses.
I mean this is what people always say. My work = professional demanding work. Your work = amateur hour clown show.

KDE is easier to pare down/minimize due to it's classical componentized structure ("KFrameworks").

It's really hard to do the same with gnome-shell, without either forking it or writing a replacement.

Not that the latter is a bad thing, necessarily, gnome wants to provide a cohesive experience. That just doesn't fit in as much for environments trying to go against that vision (Pop_OS!, SteamOS, etc).
I've been keeping a food diary since Nov 2014. It started off as a reminder to myself to eat better and fewer calories. I don't want to break the chain I even recorded my meals during over a week of no power after hurricane Fiona.

Also my exercise inadvertently became a memory tool for me as well. Since being diagnosed with hypothyroid I noticed that my short-memory was not great. So this is a way to force myself to remember things I did today. Stuff I'd normally dismiss as unneeded info and clear it from my mind.
When I think financial services and simple architecture, I think of Python, ORM, Kubernetes, Cloud, GraphQL and admission of "data-integrity bugs" and "paying retail public cloud prices".

The article itself mostly discusses tech choices rather than architecture. Half of their choices, they seem to regret.

On the service itself: It seems detrimental for African countries (or any country) to allow external financial services to get ingrained and allow them to milk their own populace and prevent the development of state-owned, cost-neutral, non-profit, long-term solutions for the public good. Payment should be public infrastructure, not private profiteering.

Way to inadvertently eliminate basically anybody who is neurodiverse. Most of the great engineers I know, myself included, had absolutely shit university records because brains don’t always do what they want to and university is rarely a motivating factor for people As the other commenter mentioned, rarely are the motivators the same between university and a job.

What does someone’s grades have to do with how nice it is to work with them? I know people that aced their classes and are complete sociopaths, and I know people that dropped out of high school and are lovely to work with.

That's one of the reasons I abandoned Google Docs for keeping notes on administering my home computer lab. I use Linux so much of what I did involved typing commands in a terminal window. I would copy the text into document and later copy back to a terminal. It often didn't work due to the way Google transmogrified the text in ways not obvious to the eye.

I now use Markdown (and store notes on a private server) so commands can readily be replayed.

Yes that's correct. It's 9.3B parameters if you count the embedding layer and final projection layer separately. However, since they used weight tying, the adjusted count is 8.5B as discussed in the article.
I write Ruby professionally and while I agree that this can lead to some very sloppy code, I don't find that this causes a lot of problems in practice.

A place where we would use nil conversions is especially in logging and error handling — you can cast anything, including nil, to a string, and that is useful in debugging.

Probably more often than nil conversions, we use the safe navigation operator &. as a way of working with "might be nil" values without having to add too much verboseness.

I do miss the way languages like Swift think about Optional values, where you have to be much more explicit about whether or not you are dealing with `nil`. It's easier to reason about and leads to clearer codepaths. And in general, I miss stronger type systems in Ruby.

But in a professional environment with relatively high developer expertise in the language and relatively clear style guides, we're still very productive in Ruby and don't suffer hugely from the typing issues. I guess eventually you learn to work around the warts in whatever language you use.
What part / domain of "banking software" probably helps as well e.g. for a web frontend or other gateway to more resilient backends it might make sense enough.
This software also tends to be waterfalled to hell and back. Theyve already planned out their deliverables for the next 12 months and will be held accountable for meeting them. Your bugfix doesnt fit into that picture unless an exec treats it as a priority.

You should probably ask the maintainer those questions. All I know he did made that decision at some point(before it took off) and he likely had a reason. Probably to be taken seriously, as he wants to live off his work. (I think he can)

I'm sure that's true - but, as an application developer and service operator, we don't really have the option to access the keyboards that are hidden by the TV OSs that we are running on.

Additionally, I'm not sure that supporting full Unicode access (or even just the hundreds (?) of emoji) using a D-pad as an input device would be a good UX.

Sounds like half baked research that shouldn't have been published then. Papers are supposed to be an actual advance not a tech preview of something that might be useful maybe if someone else figures it out.

Some people call the flag planting. You publish something that doesn't work with keywords you suspect will be important in the future. Then hope others will cite you.
One thing I recommend, to gain perspective on this, is to replace "AI" with "LLM" (large language models) in any sentence about the likely impact. For example, instead of "the impact of AI on developers on HN", think "the impact of LLM on developers on HN". Does it seem like large language models will replace developers?

The comparison to bitcoin is apt, in that the blockchain (not quite the same thing but related and part of the same hype cycle) is actually a useful algorithm, for certain applications. Way, way fewer applications than was believed at the peak of the hype cycle.

The thing is, how one prepares for wider use of LLM's, would be to make sure you're doing the things that LLM's are bad at, which is:

1) being honest

2) knowing the fundamentals of how the system you're programming for works, instead of just regurgitating some code you found elsewhere

3) try to make the simplest code that gets the job done, rather than find an excuse to use the latest buzzword to make things complex

This is all not only what would help to distinguish you from what an LLM would produce, it is also all good stuff to do regardless of whether or not LLM's flame out like many hype cycles before, and we enter a third "AI winter".

By the way, if you're not familiar with the term "AI winter", now would be a good time to look it up.

If we wanted justice we'd have an inquisitive system not an adversarial one.

At some point the government will decide it's best to pay a private company to administer computerized court systems. Private companies already can collect evidence, process evidence, arrest people, detain suspects long-term (Jail) and after court hold the convicts; why not let them do this one step as well?

The funny thing is, crypto is actually good for the dollar.

USDT/USDC are far easier to acquire than actual USD in third world countries. There’s a separate economy built up in Africa, Phillippines, etc. that operates entirely on USDT.

You can see this in the price of USDT vs USD in these countries - USDT commands a premium.

Crypto via coins like USDT means that Nigerians increasingly want to work for USDT, not Naira. Bad for Naira, good for the USD

At my day job we’re heavily invested in Leaflet for historical reasons, but toward the end of last year added Maplibre as a layer on top of it via the excellent https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-leaflet. This has allowed us to begin transitioning gradually instead of being forced to jump all at once.

It’s hard to beat the simplicity of Leaflet, but neither it nor OpenLayers can handle Mapbox Vector Tiles in a performant enough manner, so Maplibre is the future for us.

I was not aware of Microsoft’s involvement. It’s great to see some big players using it too!
Not sure, I have used for non-continuous use the NDepend extension for visual studio to grasp a C++ code base in the past and then exported manually to inkscape to manually rearrange things in a readable way to come up with a single page codebase cheatsheet for easing the onboarding of new devs to a specific code base at work.

This is a legacy codebase that isn't expected to change significantly.
> A place where we would use nil conversions is especially in logging and error handling — you can cast anything, including nil, to a string, and that is useful in debugging.

Lots of languages can format anything to a string though. Even Java will let you write

"foo " + null

And logging / error handling / debugging seems like the context where you would least want nil to become an empty string (and thus be confusable with an actual empty string, or not appear in the output).

The patent threats I remember from that era was Balmer making a wooly claim that all Linux users were likely infringing. Not just Gnome users and KDE users. And at the same time refusing to elaborate about which specific patents that would be.

And MS making a $440m payment to Novell/SuSE for Linux support to get Novell to make a $40m payment to MS for "patents", which seems a rather lopsided agreement to announce as a combined deal if the patent threats had been anything but MS trying to scare people.

That's where ecosystems really matter. These kinds of use cases are well solved in places like C# desktop toolkits, where stable conditions allow ecosystems to build up and companies willing to drop thousands on licenses for UI toolkits inject plenty of cash. The javascript ecosystem on the other hand is so cash-strapped, frequently disrupted, and splintered across frameworks that libraries rarely reach the maturity necessary for complex situations. Even virtual scrolling is a rarity. So everyone just develops what they need in-house, and the next project has to start from scratch.

There's no middle. There are projections, and there are what we are already seeing.

Of course reality is complex. Of course increasing CO2 levels might have some benefits. But there's no way, all things considered, it's a net benefit overall. Why would you need to point out that look, there are benefits? It doesn't matter. We still need to fix this and for that, we need more concern about climate change, not less (and above all, the relevant people to be concerned).

Yes, you wouldn't use a date. A more likely structure would be:

- the front of a flashcard shows a photo from 20 June and the back shows a photo from 21 June

- the front of another flashcard shows that same 21 June photo and the back shows a photo from 22 June

- and so on!

If you have multiple photos per day... maybe you could create a mosaic for each day? Bonus if the mosaic randomizes the order of items on every showing, but not necessary.

This seems definitely automatable!

The Canadian system is different and much better than the British one imo.

While both are single payer, the Canadian Medicare is federalized so Vancouver Island can target its members in a manner different than Fraser Valley.

The NHS is much more top down, and the facilities seem less updated than in Canada.

Salaries also largely kept up for medical professionals in Canada compared to the UK (and plenty of BMA members have begun moving to Canada for that reason).

When I was a kid on Vancouver Island, it wasn't uncommon to see Brits doing specialized work (eg. Doctors, Skilled labor, Civil Service) because they'd get paid way more and spend way less than in the UK.
