A 50-year-old white male is actually a very accurate stereotype of a board member.

This is what happens when you go super-woke. Instead of discussing how we can affect the reality, discuss what is wrong with it, we try to instead pretend that the reality is different.

This is no way to prepare the current young generation for the real world if they cannot be comfortable being uncomfortable.

And they will be uncomfortable. Most of us are not failing upward nepo babies who can just "try things" and walk away when we are bored.
Here's the problem for Google: Gemini pukes out a perfect visual representation of actual systemic racism that pervades throughout modern corporate culture in the US. Daily interactions can be masked by platitudes and dog whistles. A poster of non-white celtic warriors cannot.

Gemini refused to create an image of "a nice white man", saying it was "too spicy", but had no problem when asked for an image of "a nice black man".

It really depends. There is no shortage of startups out there with minimal meetings and plenty of fires for you to choose from at any given time to take care of. There are also companies where you can't do anything unless you get a formal approval of your manager and their manager and their manager's manager. It's a whole spectrum (ha).
A more charitable take is that power-users are mostly hotkey users, so hiding the UI leaves more space for things that matter.

That said (and with the understanding that I am, by nature, averse to changing my habits): I prefer the old UI by a long shot.

Status pages are basically useless if they’re public facing.

Either they automatically update based on automatic tests (like some of the Internet backbone health tests) or they’re manually updated.

If they’re automatic, they’re almost always internal and not public. If they’re manual, they’re almost always delayed and not updated until after the outage is posted to HN anyway.
Which status page?

There is no need to have try-catch at every function invocation. One can do this only at the level at which one needs to handle the error.

In Go, every call made to a function is 5 statements and lines. Go code tends to bloat up the screen quite a bit and eyes glaze over.

Valproate is not just for epilepsy; it's also used for bipolar disorder and migraines. For people who only know the brand names of their medications or don't have even a layperson's grasp of the kinds or classes of medications they are or were on (cos a lot of physicians don't explain any of this, or the side effects) they might miss that this could apply to them too.
The problem with a lot of these tools is that they fight with the shell to provide the UX enhancements (the comments in this thread are littered with people commenting that this new terminal breaks basic feature X, Y or Z. Really what they should be doing is working with the existing command line primitives as a hook for their UX enhancements.

I know those existing primitives are 50 years old and suck in a great many ways. But the alternative is having a terminal that only works some of the time.

This is field I'm actively experimenting in too. And have already had some degree of success despite the project being only a couple of months old: https://github.com/lmorg/mxtty

My point is this: any refinements to the terminal interface shouldn't break support for terminal applications. But all to often (this term included) form is now prioritised over function.

I like the e, it’s cute. The only real issue I have with this font is that the weight of each digit feels uneven. I can’t put my finger on it but looking at the comparison chart with the version numbers, even though the stroke width is the same, they visually feel different whereas the others are more uniform.
I guess I would call that scoping. Dagger can do this at resolution at compile time for example. So I don't see the connection to runtime resolution.

> why would I want to do it via DI container

I guess I don't follow why you wouldn't. Like, already assuming we are competent people, then you extend your object graph when it makes sense.

Does a prototype bean for {new ArrayList()} make sense? Probably not. But I could definitely see wiring up a CSVWriter with config properties from a container populated from various resources.

I buy the simple argument that DI is a better "new" and containers are just the interface to an named object graph.

Which is better? How do you know whether an issue is individual to a customer or a quick blip that will resolve in a few seconds?
How high do you think the rates should be?

Historically they are not low at all relative to inflation and considering how highly the government debt to GDP ratio is raising them further would lead to severe issues. Since a surplus or even a balanced federal budget is basically politically (probably financially too) impossible at this point high growth + low rates + predictable moderately high (2-3%) inflation is the only way to keep public debt from spiraling out of control.

The short version could be that we are a bunch of people with a bunch of love for the web. And maybe even more so for the “open web”, having witnessed its creation and tremendous impact on the world, and seeing it grow from a haphazard, joyous thing to what now structures much of the current economy. But this blog series isn’t about short stories, instead, We’ll share our vantage point on where we think the open web is now, where it’s going, and where we see our place in it.

It's pretty clear to me what the commenter means even if they don't use the words you like/expect.

The model is built by machine from a massive set of data. Humans at Google may not like the output of a particular model due to their particular sensibilities, so they try to "tune it" and "filter both input/output" to limit of what others can do with the model to Google's sensibilities.

Google stated as much in their announcement recently. Their whole announcement was filled with words like "responsibility", "safety", etc., alluding to a lot of censorship going on.

There’s an overhead of the cost of the hiring process, plus a months-long ramp up. So if you hire people that move around a lot, you end up paying more of that overhead, with less productive work being done.
Yeah. I don’t understand why we keep submitting ourselves to this way of working.
Hey HN! I’m Florian from Weavely (https://www.weavely.ai/). We’re developing a form builder which gives you full control of your forms’ UX and UI by letting you design them directly in Figma. Our Figma plugin [3] converts designs into responsive web forms and hosts them on our servers together with form submissions.

If you’re like me you might think this is bizarrely niche. We initially launched a prototyping tool [1] that transformed Figma designs into full-stack web applications. We decided to pivot away from that idea [2] because the product was too complex and because the little paying users we had were mostly building … forms and surveys.

After talking to these users we found out two key insights. First, there aren’t any (or many) no-code form-building tools that give you complete design freedom. Second, even without heavily customising UX or UI a lot of users just like the fact that they can stay inside of Figma to design and publish their forms and subsequently generate charts and graphs inside of Figma as well.

Our larger vision is a form-building tool tailored to software product teams. Not only custom designs but also generating code that you can integrate directly into your product as a developer.

I’ve learned to appreciate how rare it is to receive honest feedback from people, so don’t hold back! You can use our plugin [3] for free, and can SSO with a Figma account (the requested permissions are imposed by Figma, we don’t actually use all these permissions). We also have some examples [4,5,6,7] you can check to see how far you can push customisation of forms with Weavely.

Your argument boils down to "all hardware implementations so far in history never optimized word boolean operations so future implementations will keep doing so".

I think that is just an assumption and I would not take that risk for high security applications, unless for specific CPU models where the behavior is measured in practice (certainly not by just auditing the assembly, which is by itself already too high-level). After all, never in history we had such a level of sophistication.

Right now, all zero register values can lead to speed gains, so they could be obversable. But both ARM and Intel latest ISA have introduced flags that permit the future CPUs to perform operations with data-dependent timing. Boolean operations are officially marked as potentially affected by that flag.

My bet is that TSMC will go down and the talent will either go to the mainland or the US.

Back in the day I used "Norton Ghost" to create a full image of a just-installed windows just in case I needed to go back in time.

The issue is that the vast majority of people would prefer 2, and would be fine with Google's reasonable excuse that it it just reflective of the patterns in data on the internet. But the media would prefer 1, and if Google chooses 2 they will have to endure an endless stream of borderline libelous hit pieces coming up with ever more convoluted new exmples of their "racism."
This is their standard roll out strategy.

The feature is in Alpha. They use the Ultimate tier as an early testing group. One thing you’re paying for at that tier is access to stuff like this fresh out of the lab.

Nice idea for something without screens
Git was the third VCS I had to migrate to. I still remember very well the transition. Existence of AWS has very little to do with any of it really...

The way programming shops used to be run around the time Git appeared was what today you'd call "self-hosting". I.e. a company would have a dedicated machine(s), depending on the size of the codebase, and those would host company's Git repository. Not at the start and not now and not ever was Git primarily used as a distributed system anywhere outside of Linux kernel (and perhaps few similar projects).

At the time Git appeared it offered some practical advantages over Subversion, which was its main competitor. But those advantages weren't due to centralized / distributed distinction. Eventually, Subversion caught up to some of the features Git had.

In other words, what you say about making cost-effective servers is absolutely backwards. It's more expensive today to do that. Back in the days you paid for the physical components and electricity, while today you are also financing huge infrastructure built around physical components and electricity which you don't own.

Where AWS or the likes do win today is in situations like when your company had multiple international branches and you needed to somehow move a lot of data between them. I remember that Git was very welcome in our Israeli office (after switching from Perforce) because the other office was in Canada, and synchronization with them was painfully slow and expensive. Public cloud contributed to solving this problem, but, mostly, it "solved itself" due to network latency and bandwidth increases over time.

> The distributed nature of the version-control system facilitates branches,

This is just not true. Branches exist in both distributed and centralized VCSs. There was a time when it was "expensive" for eg. Subversion to have branches (because, oh horror! they had to be created on the central server!) but, today, the way developers work with Git, branches are almost always duplicated on the VCS server anyways. Also, the amount of traffic necessary to service the code is really tiny compared to everything else an organization does, so it's a moot point.

> Although I _do_ think it's pretty neat that you can use a thumb drive or NAS as a remote instead of needing a server,

Nothing stops you from doing the same with centralized VCS... This isn't the function of distributed / centralized... maybe in a particular VCS it's harder to do, but the reason would be that it's virtually never needed, so nobody bothered to implement that / make it easy to do.

The problem they're trying to address is not bias in the training set, it's bias in reality reflected in the training set.
Same could be said of the Bristol Fighter - a Dodge Viper with better road manners in disguise.
“Misrepresenting reality” is an interesting phrase, considering the nature of what we are discussing - artificially generated imagery.

It’s really hard to get these things right: if you don’t attempt to influence the model at all, the nature of the imagery that these systems are being trained on skews towards stereotype, because a lot of our imagery is biased and stereotypical. It seems perfectly reasonable to say that generated imagery should attempt to not lean into stereotypes and show a diverse set of people.

In this case it fails because it is not using broader historical and social context and it is not nuanced enough to be flexible about how it obtains the diversity- if you asked it to generate some WW2 American soldiers, you could rightfully include other ethnicities and genders than just white men, but it would have to be specific about their roles, uniforms, etc.

Why would "shuf -n40000 filelist_h.txt" be slower than "cat filelist_h.txt | shuf -n40000"?

Seems like there's a random-access optimization that's severely impacting I/O performance.
Reporting status externally is hard. I worked at a cloud provider and while we had very detailed metrics about how our systems were functioning, it was difficult to distill that information in a way that customers would understand if they were being impacted or not, and what the impact would be. Just reporting raw numbers wouldn’t give customers the context to understand what was actually going on.

How do you actually report, for example, that .003% of your customers are having a really bad day but the rest are just fine?

My four-year-old grandson and I enjoy playing with go stones on a go board. The black and white stones and board’s grid lines inspire a lot of counting and geometric-shape activities. Similar things could be done with other types of objects, of course, but I had the stones and board from when I used to play go forty years ago.

My daughter wants me to teach him how to play go at some point, but he’s not quite ready for that. He hasn’t yet learned the concept of winning or losing at games, and we don’t see any need to force that on him early. In the meantime, playing with and talking about the stones seems to have boosted his understanding of numbers.
thanks for the tip, will fix that!

The Fed has already announced back in December that they are planning to cut rates to 4.6% by the end of 2024 (of course that might change). The bond market consensus is somewhere between 4.25% - 4.75% so how is it “entirely unrealistic”?
