There’s a secondary problem: they literally just don’t make things the way they used to. Nearly 100% of all SPAs i visit are busted in some manner, or break depending on the day of the week. Main frames and the culture that surrounds them is one of not breaking, ever, and maintaining backwards compatibility into eternity. There are js modules that measures their lts support in months. Most actual engineering has been lost out of modern software development: instead we just throw whatever was last month away for the latest redesign.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Where I live I constantly see articles about worker shortages in low wage roles like restaurant workers and retail that have typically been the main jobs for teenagers.

I have an old Linux laptop with Kodi and Stremio/Torrentio installed and a premium real debrid subscription connected to the TV. I can basically watch anything with no tracking.

Kodi handles the free to air stuff, Stremio for everything else.

If you can't even afford shoes, it's likely you're dropping out of school to go work and you need less restrictions so that you can get more hours and better opportunities.

If I need someone for an 8 hour shift and laws only allow me to hire you for 6, then I'm going to hire someone else instead of you.
Oh man. This sounds complicated.

The hard part of signals is similar to over complicating events.

It's getting better. I can build a medium-sized, modern TS/React app with 12 dependencies. A large enterprise app will be closer to 30-40 which is still a marked improvement over previous dep lists.
I’m not sure that attackers “win” this arms race; the cost has gone through the roof and their chance of detection constantly increases.

Indeed, defenders are often outgunned, but at a minimum we’ve pushed the level of effort way into nation-state territory, which is a good start.
Google shopping is the worst for this... 'sort by price' sorts by the price without shipping.

But clearly if I'm buying from an online shop I need shipping. And for a $5 item, shipping of $3 and shipping of $25 lead to very different purchase decisions.
Children being maimed in factory labor is unfortunate but it's the fault of their parents. We merely created the crushing economic pressure that made it necessary for their children to work and removed the legal obstacles to the factory hiring them. Ultimately this is a matter of personal responsibility, like every other bad thing we caused to happen.

I liked the dual header 2D graphics rasterizer that this uses: https://github.com/xboot/libcg. I'm always amazed by how we can build powerful software with minimal dependencies like that.

Would it be that hard to build nice, clean and powerful UI libraries as alternatives to Electron?
A friend inherited a large fine diamond, double digit carat-weight. Rated near perfect by GIA in cut clarity and quality, except for some tiny chips from wear that could easily be fixed by recutting it at the loss of a half carat but its projected such repair would add 6 figures in market value despite the loss in weight.
The thing with gem cutters, is if things go wrong, owner bears the loss.
Would you take that risk?

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic and trolling or if you really believe that. Please look at any number of recent news headlines regarding Alabama and how our education systems and libraries and such are regressing. It’s becoming dangerous for educators even teach basic reproductive safety to our students.
It is not just shared IPs, I have a personal VPN/proxy that only I use (although in an IP range that likely includes shared VPNs) and it is blocked. It could be that they are blocking all "non-residential" IP addresses and the VPNs that work are using botnets (or some other way they get "residential" IP addresses) to route traffic.

My memory isn't that great and I rarely look at reddit (just the occasional search results) but I think there might have been a similar block on old for a bit earlier (closer to when the block on the main domain started).

Indians do better than white people in the US.

You're next for the two-minute hate from the far-left. Watch for the 'caste' system being brought up like a boogeyman.
> If people give up, then it's not a shortage?

No...? That doesn't make any sense. People also have to give up when there is a shortage. Some people giving up is a constant here. I am sorry to report that the world does not have infinite resources. Economics is a thing only because we have to manage allocation of the limited resources.

If you want to take that angle, the mechanism by which they give up is what is significant. If they give up to a price-based mechanism, then you have what is considered a normally functioning market. But if price is unable to rise and thereby they have to give up to some other mechanism, then you have what is considered a shortage.

> You claim my definition makes everything a shortage

Frankly, I have no idea what your definition is. I stated that if you want to consider dreamers participants in the market then everything that comes with a cost is in shortage. Obviously. That's why there is a price. If we had the resources to allow everyone to have everything they could ever dream up, everything would be free. Any time you see a price of more than free – even just 1¢ - you know there are people wanting more of something than there are of those somethings available.

If it is that this does align with your definition – which I'm guessing is why you called it your definition – what are you communicating by exclaiming 'shortage', exactly? It doesn't say anything.

This is the HN classic pro-sweatshop labor argument but aimed at americans? An interesting variant I guess.

I agree that teaching kids things that aren’t true, or telling them to not believe their own eyes, just to follow a particular political ideology is not good but I’m not sure what you mean about it getting so much worse. It is very hard to have any kind of education system without involvement from parents and instilling a value of education. I’ve seen many kids unable to recite basic facts or understand basic things that they were definitely taught in public schools. Being able to work at sandwich shop a little bit more a week and maybe learn a bit about business and how to deal with people and act professionally is not going to scar these kids. This idea is leftist hysteria.
Free returns sucks IMO; I want cheaper prices because I want to buy what I need to begin with. It seems I’m in the minority though.
"Do as I say, not as I do" is known to be poor pedagogy.

If you find that expert practitioners don't do the things you think students should be doing, it suggests that something is wrong and needs fixing. In the standard library implementations it's very obvious that something is badly wrong, and yet for decades C++ has resisted the hard work of fixing it.
> A bit random, but has there been speculation on why this seemed to only target rpm/deb packaging?

I don't think much speculation is needed. RPM and deb catches every Enterprise Linux distribution, to the best of my knowledge.

rpm catches Red Hat and all derivatives like CentOS, Alma Linux etc, as well as SuSE, Amazon Linux, and even Microsoft's Mariner Linux (now renamed Azure Linux).

deb catches Debian and Ubuntu.

That's a huge global install base just through those two targets.
Where is the sweatshop from these changes in laws? This is beyond hyperbolic. This is not about sweatshops.
> And, also, at the end, the article mentions that Fujitsu is finishing with mainframes in 10 years.

I think people are reading more into this announcement than it actually means.

Fujitsu has three mainframe lines: GS21, BS2000, and VME. The announcement it links to is only about GS21 hardware, not BS2000 or VME.

GS21 started out as clones of IBM mainframes, including both Fujitsu's Japanese clone line, and also Amdahl in the US. In the 1980s thru the first half of the 1990s, Fujitsu's Japanese clones were popular in some countries outside Japan (e.g. Australia), and Amdahl's clones enjoyed a lot of popularity in the US. However, while IBM's own mainframes went from 31-bit to 64-bit in 2000, Fujitsu's GS21 line got stuck on 31-bit. AFAIK, nobody uses it anymore except in Japan, non-Japanese customers either migrated off the mainframe or switched to IBM. In Japan, it clings on in government and some large corporations, but is deeply legacy.

BS2000 has a very different heritage. RCA used to sell mainframes in the US. One of their (several incompatible) mainframe lines was partially compatible with IBM S/360, having the same assembly language in user space. However, kernel mode instructions and the software were incompatible. Siemens in Germany bought the rights to it. It ended up surviving in Europe even after it died in the US. Eventually Siemens sold it to Fujitsu.

VME was originally the British mainframe manufacturer ICL, which Fujitsu ended up buying. The British government is (I believe) the only people still using it, and they've been trying to get rid of it.

Both VME and BS2000 haven't had their own physical hardware for years now – they are just software emulators running under Linux or Windows. As such, they are easy to "migrate to the Cloud". Fujitsu is likely to keep on supporting them (to some degree) as long as there remains at least one customer willing to pay enough $$$ to sustain it. Given that, any timeframes for phasing either out should be taken with a large grain of salt, since their future really depends on how long it takes the remaining customers to get off them.

Coming to this GS21 announcement – I understand Fujitsu wants to stop manufacturing and selling physical mainframes in Japan. They can just switch to software emulation like they do for BS2000 and VME. Like both of those, it can run fine in the cloud, and I expect they'll keep it running as long as there is customer demand. Promised future support timelines are very notional, if there is a big enough customer paying for an extension, the extension will happen. Plausibly, it could still be supported in 20 years time – maybe it is used by some essential Japanese government system, and the Japanese government's repeated attempts to migrate to a more modern platform end in failure (not an uncommon story for government IT projects)

It's not even basic necessities (food, healthcare, misc bills), it's that the median person is spending an overwhelming fraction of their take home income on housing.

Supply chains will bounce around and settle (though there's work to do there), but we've created so much bad regulation around just building places to live that they're a goddamn investment vehicle instead of a human right.

If we cut housing costs in half they'd still be absurd but suddenly everyone would have an insane amount of financial flexibility relative to where they are.
Some sellers don't want to increase their product price. Perhaps because they have pricing agreements (eg. Royalties of some percentage of the sale price).

Perhaps because for a higher price the customer expects a better product. (Nobody complains when the $1 scissors don't cut great, but the $15 scissors really ought to cut properly)
This has been true of Common Lisp almost since the beginning. Supported functional, imperative and object oriented paradigms out of the box. And macros allow supporting almost any other programming style in the language as well. Probably any programming paradigm you can think of at some point was added to Common Lisp as a library through macros.
Yeah. I kept expecting him to slice a finger with that xacto knife.
In the EU the grid prioritizes frequency over voltage. If production is slightly below load, voltage is decreased, not frequency. If things go really bad and frequency drops, too, they'll fix that by running at a slighly higher frequency later. Clocks that have been fixed in the meantime require to be fixed a second time.

A deviation of 6 minutes was reached and fixed in 2018.

I grew up dirt-maximum-food-stamps-and-rent-control poor, in New York City, and I was LUCKY that labor laws allowed me to work full time since I was 15 years old.

This helped me to avoid homelessness and complete high school.
But this ignores the fact that if wages rise too much, the product or service the company sells may become uneconomic. I literally have seen people complain about how "the man" is trying to keep wages down while at the same time bitching that their fast food meal costs $11 dollars. I guarantee many of these small business owners of places like restaurants are not exactly raking in the dough (in most cases a software engineer with like 5+ years of experience can make more money with less risk). I make a good living but I've noticed myself eating out less because it's tough for me to stomach a $100+ per person bill at even a reasonable (i.e. not super fancy) restaurant.

Housing isn't a basic necessity?

Seems like the most basic, to me.
history shows that it is generally very hard to not slip up here and there, especially if you are not expecting to be a huge target.
Interesting. If this is true, would love to see what these "sound and radio frequency-based directed energy devices" look like.

Could be pretty dangerous if they're easy to produce.
as I wrote originally, trust implies discernment which contradicts egalitarianism. Most codes of conduct take egalitarianism for granted. If one does not treat all comers equally, one will eventually be accused of violating someone’s code of conduct.

In my book, software quality is much more important than emotions.

Fuck that, kids should have basic necessities (food, clothing, education etc), at a minimum, covered through public funding. If the government has one fucking purpose, that's it right there. If people can't even have a fucking childhood what are we doing.
McDonalds has literally written into their quarterly filings that people who make below $40k/yr can't even afford to eat at their restaurants anymore and that their pricing (driven largely by rising wages) has moved their customer demographic up-market.
There’s something about this that reminds me of the “you’re just a kid” scene in Good Will Hunting.
Speaking of READMEs, I like to try to have one in each directory. This naturally happens if you have modules or libraries in a repo, each with their own directory.

But even if you have a monolith with tons of HTTP controller classes, grouping them by domain and providing a guide to the domain is really nice when you're on an expedition through the codebase.

It's a place to take notes about decisions, introduce domain-relevant terms, collect links to further reading, etc. all stuff which helps people completely unfamiliar with the code, or jogs the memory if the author was you-from-the-past.
They treated software in exactly the same manner as hardware: measure twice/cut once, waterfall. All QC was after the fact, and done manually.

We did a great job of delivering yesterday's technology, tomorrow.

I wanted them to add flexibility. Things like a different QC system, iterative development, and faster releases of software.

I won't get into details, though. Much as I wasn't happy with things, I had (still have) tremendous respect for the company, and wish them nothing but good luck (they'll need it).

I will say this, though:

I worked with some of the top engineers and scientists in the world. The company had been producing precision optical equipment for 100 years, and people paid a lot of money for it.

It was extremely hard to suggest that they might want to consider doing stuff differently. They had a formula that worked quite well, and not changing on a whim was a big part of that. I think most folks, hereabouts, would go nuts, working that way, but you can't argue with the results.

I learned to write software of a pretty high Quality, as a direct result of working with these folks.
Mechanical engineer here-

In the video clip at the top of the article, the carrot is placed at the location closest to the window. Given the location of the hinge for the closing mechanism, this is the place where the hinge has the maximum mechanical advantage. The torque imposed on the motor from the load required to smash the carrot is minimized at this location, and any load-sensing feature designed to prevent this sort of injury would have the most difficult time detecting the load here.

The best comparison for an automatically closing tailgate on other cars would be at the very top of the tailgate. I would like to see this comparison. Comparisons made with carrots placed in other locations are not quite as similar.

Still bad safety, just an interesting aside.
The situation in the US now is very different from the dawn of the industrial age. You really parents are going to have to ship their kids off to coal mines and Soviet style factories? People can downvote all they want but they are not living in reality if they think that.
You think the desirable employers are the ones that need bodies so badly they’ll hire children?

Don’t kid yourself, they’ll be lucky if they work in sweatshops and not in abattoirs.

I'm still not entirely convinced the spectrum between aphantasia and hyperphantasia truly exists as distinct existential phenomena. I suppose I would self report as someone with hyperphantasia and I strongly suspect I would score highly on the objective correlates but if I really drill down into my mental imagery they seem to be very illusory (even compared to the other things floating around in my mind) and it is very difficult to say definitively that I am really experiencing those images in a fundamentally different way from someone with aphantasia. The objective correlates mentioned in the article to me aren't very convincing and it seems that they could simply point to another confounding factor that changes the way people self report their internal experiences.

Of course on the other hand I can't think of any way to build a stronger case for or against so I'm excited for more research into the subject

H1B is pretty straightforward and cheap: it's about $5K, most of which are lawyer fees, if you have a law firm signed up for mass processing you get wholesale discount. And it's only unpredictable for an individual, for an employer who submits thousands of applications the laws of statistics make it pretty reliable, if the approval rate is 34.5% then out of 1000 applications you will get 345 +/- few approvals.

And outsourcing does not work for these companies as their business is putting bodies into chairs on their customer's site.
So? It shouldn’t take seconds to make one change to the reflection database. Or update derived code.

While I agree with you, most red states can't even afford that kind of thing and are already paying out a ton in overburdened welfare programs (except maybe Georgia and a few others that are aggressively anti-welfare). In the absence of those funds and that regulation, at least allow older teenagers to compete against grown adults in the labor market if they need the money.
Working a full time jobs is hardly the only possibility that would have enabled you to avoid homelessness and complete high school.
