I don't know the why and I mostly code for it in C++ with a thin layer of Kotlin (used to be Java) around it because some things are easier to do there in the API. I guess if I started today I would have a hard time picking up but since it's been 8 years now the knowledge has compounded and I don't know exactly how to tell you. I think it's in the same sense that I have hard time to explain Magic The Gathering for someone when I have been playing it (with a few stops and comebacks) since 1995, it's so many cards, mechanics and history that I don't know exactly how to start someone and keep them interested.

I would suggest trying to do something small like a pomodoro app and then think on things you want for yourself - some people have fun with home automation, some people want the perfect note taking app, find something you want for yourself and try to go slow through the docs and tutorials to implement it. Android Studio is pretty great once you get the hang of it.
Yeah people forget that when you graduate college you go from an environment where you're surrounded by hundreds or thousands of potential social contacts who all have lots of free time and lots in common to being surrounded by whoever is on your block, and, if you commute, by your co-workers. I'm a remote worker but the only reason I make this arrangement work is because I'm married, have a family, and have things to do with my time outside of work. If I did this in my 20's I would have been totally unprepared to deal with it.

When I take a junior or mid-level on I try to make sure that we talk about remote work during one-on-ones and that I make sure they have stuff outside of work to focus on or at least that they have a handle on this type of arrangement. In the first year I started doing this in 2018 I tried spending a couple of weeks just working and not leaving my apartment and by the end of it I had gone pretty toasty.

People forget that just as individuals have to work differently to do remote work, managers have to manage differently to do it too. To truly transition will require different habits of mind and a good understanding of what we actually need as people to survive.

I'd pay for news, definitively not for click based drugs, I mean I'd pay for a classic journal where news got assembled to inform their customer, not following analytics-returned liking to master their reader emotions. I'd like to handle my emotions myself, and when I read news I look for news not emotions...

Secondary I'd like to own news I paid, meaning I'd like to pay for an RSS access to full articles and no ads inside, not to go to a website, login, getting ads if I do allow them and so on. With the feed I can archive myself the news I'm interested in on my iron.

Tertiary I'd like usable news archives, something I can use to research a topic, not just "see some historical stuff", usable with my tools.

Unfortunately almost no newspaper offer something like that. I pay Le Monde Diplomatique since it's succinct and informative enough and at least I can download all editions in pdf and (badly, due to their formatting) rga/pdfgrep etc on my iron, but they are not generic news. In the past I've paid some others but their evolution push me to ditch them.

Philosophers have defined consciousness, why do people keep repeating that line? Your subjective sensations that make up perception, dreams, inner dialog, that sort of thing. Call it qualia, representations or correlations, but we all experience colors, sounds, tastes, pains, pleasures. We all probably dream, most of us visualize or have inner dialog. It's not that hard to define, it's only because of the ambiguity of the word where it's conflating whether other mental activity like being awake or being aware.

I decided, circa 2012, that healthcare was a make-work program for us taxi drivers. Sometimes transportation providers would make vastly more taking people to their appointments than the provider would receive for the checkup or the group counseling session. A good voucher fare for us was $50+ ($100+ round trip). I couldn't imagine AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) paying more than $40 for a group counseling session. Medicaid probably paid $40-50 for a medical followup appointment.

My theory behind this observation was that as the U.S. gradually de-industrialized post-NAFTA and post-WTO, our politicians leaders used healthcare as a source of jobs that couldn't be outsourced to Mexico or Asia.

I use a cascading "knowledge" system myself:

- A pocket Moleskin notebook keeps track of random thoughts, notes, scratches, diagrams, and more.

- This eventually becomes either "tickets" in my issue tracker, or becomes "wikis" or "wiki updates" on my wiki server.

- This eventually leads to things like: snippets, configuration notes, historical documents, record keeping, runbooks, and more.

Eventually it just became "natural" to keep my documents up-to-date, or as issues are discovered get them thrown into the correct backlog.

That might not be good for any individual case. The reason it works is because each individual claim is "not worth it" to Facebook to fight. Once you're the one asking for punitive damages, suddenly you'll get a lot more resources resisting your case.

Couldn’t agree less. I’ve been a developer for nearly 20 years, working with Python, PHP, JavaScript, ObjC, Swift, Java, bash scripting, SQL, Terraform, and a bunch of others. Written code for data transformations, web servers, client side JS apps, native mobile apps, and games.

Android has been my favourite platform to work with and has offered the best developer experience I’ve found. It’s not particularly close. The SDK has improved significantly over the years, the IDE is wonderful, the feedback loops are short, Kotlin hits the sweet spot between functional and OO code, and Compose is a joy. Although yes, Gradle is a sore spot.

IMO the reason why Google have gone all-in on Android Studio is because it’s really, really good. Compare it to Xcode. If you’ve never used a JetBrains IDE, it can feel a little unfamiliar, but I’ve never felt as productive in any other programming environment.
It's probably like that because there is so much internal Google churn and product development year after year, and a thousand cooks in the kitchen.

Old-school stuff like WinForms just seemed like a calmer scene with not so much going on.

I'll try really hard to assume you're not trolling here.

I think it should be obvious that your suggestion doesn't work, because that's already an option right now... and it doesn't work. People's lives aren't neat and tidy, and people don't always do the safest things in the heat of the moment. Even if they want to, this kind of testing likely isn't available everywhere, or easily, or cheaply.

A twice-a-year shot is much more likely to be effective and actually used than ad-hoc, on-demand testing.

> ... unless you are extremely active.

Some people are. Are you suggesting that if someone is "extremely" sexually active, they don't deserve a reasonable, affordable way to avoid getting HIV?

> it's better to address the root cause—being hyperactive

If people want to be "hyperactive" when it comes to sex, that's their business, and there's nothing wrong with that. Measures that can make that safer are good things, not bad things.

Reading between the lines, I'm guessing you have some pretty puritanical views toward sex, and some misconceptions about the availability of healthcare and health-related testing in different places in the world. Maybe dial down the level of judgment, and learn a bit more about how people different from you live.
> Incredibly friendly, warm, kind and happy people to a degree I did not know was possible on planet earth. Sadly they're held down by corruption, ineptitude and the West.

The problems are significantly of their own doing. I live in one such country (Nigeria), and many people say the same thing about my people- warm, friendly, and whatever.

But being warm and friendly doesn’t build a successful nation. Tribalism, high tolerance for corruption from the locals, and lack of the rule of law are what ruin these countries, and citizens are either too apathetic or outrightly support the same incompetent leaders ruining them.

Besides, some people are friendly to white foreigners but hostile to locals from another tribe.

"or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press"

Well, is social media "speech" or "press"?

Television and radio stations need to abide by FCC guidelines, and in general, certain topics and words aren't allowed in the daytime.

Another example: Tobacco advertising is severely curtailed, *especially advertising targeted towards minors."

In this case, what isn't restricted is social media platforms ability to express ideas or otherwise function as "press." Instead, what's restricted is the addictive nature and activities that cause psychological harm.

> If everyone can work how they prefer then great.

The problem with this is that people's work preference doesn't always match up with the environments where they actually work well.

I've managed remote and hybrid teams for years. I've done this long enough to realize that a lot of the people who struggle to be productive at home will swear up and down that they're much more productive working remote.

The reason is simple: People aren't just expressing their preference for where they work best. They're expressing their preference for where they want to be. When it comes to low performers and difficult employees, they almost universally don't want to be at the office.

That's why it's not as simple as letting everyone work according to their preference.

Remote teams are hard for many reasons, but one of the biggest challenges is filtering for people who can actually work remote. Many people will claim they work well remote, but then you hire them and they're terrible at communicating, can't manage their own time, are constantly MIA during core working hours (a 4-hour window agreed upon by the team, in our case), and so on. It's hard to start removing these people from the company, but it's the only way to make it work.

All of those companies that switched everyone to WFH during COVID learned the hard way that you can't just take everyone and go remote. You have to build the team for it from the start. And it takes more than just asking people what they prefer.
You've missed my point or didn't read it. This is not about the market fitness of the idea/product. This is about the parent commenter throwing shade on the inventor's curiosity and aspiring entrepreneurial effort. Regardless about how right you or the parent is about the products fitness, making assumptions about the inventor's motive removes the opportunity for the inventor to learn/grow from their attempt at going to market.

Instead, it would be better to support the inventor with constructive criticism... how they might better measure PMF, how they might prove whether there's a need for their idea in the market earlier, or how they might get more efficiency out of their approach.

And if you don't have the criticism to offer, you can probably find a better way to share your knowledge without saying the idea is terrible or they are acting in bad faith. (Or just don't comment at all!)
What is the point of tracking rogue airliner in the middle of the ocean? It isn't a threat to anything except itself. Regular radars can track it when gets close to land, and scramble fighters.

This is very much correct, and quite self-evident: they live without, therefore they don't need it. Wanting something != needing it. Companies that actually need SSO are the ones that have internal or external compliance requirements, and/or for which managing users without SSO becomes prohibitively expensive. Turns out, at that point, they're willing to pay through the roof for it.

I write sprawling semi-structured webs of markdown in obsidian. Thoughts written on android while walking around, more coherent long form things at a physical keyboard.

I thought that producing a bunch of trello style cards to look at would help and it kind of did, but in practice I don't seem to look at them as often as the raw markdown.

YMMV though, my solo work is a weighted random walk in the direction of things that look interesting, not an optimal shortest path to a product. Which might be the sidetracked you're talking about. E.g. I'm currently writing a regex engine and that's not especially well correlated with where I was a few months ago.

Nope. There's zero reason to disclose until there is an actual barrier that can fall under ADA.

Oh, you're in RAMP mode! Yeah, that drifts too much to hold a load calibration. This is expected behavior, it's designed to trade away precision to get speed. This will be worst on the 8350, which is completely unsynthesized, and on the upper end of each band on the 8340, which is also unsynthesized. You should see much better stability at the low end of each ramp band on the 8340 (which is synthesized) and you should be able to get that good stability everywhere if you use the 8340 source and put it in STEP mode to synthesize every point.

If you can get your hands on an 8360 source, it will synthesize both the start and end of RAMP sweeps (starting on the second sweep -- it looks to see how far off it was and corrects it), and you will also have significantly faster STEP sweeps.
I left Google in 2022, but I remember seeing the beginning of this. The system that got built up to do all the things Google wanted to do -- previously "simple" things, orchestrated on raw hosting (Borg) -- got too big and complex. (Partially because it was too flexible, so too many projects did too many unique things, and running them grew difficult to match.) So they started adding abstraction layers, to make it "simpler". (Which as always means the common/easy case got easier, and the rare/difficult case got harder. The team I was on at the time couldn't use the new thing for (most) of what we did, because our needs were incompatible. But we did enough other compatible things that I started learning about it/using it.)

(Personally I'm sure it's doomed to failure. But partially because most all technology operates in cycles/like a pendulum. The abstraction layers will grow too onerous and limiting, and the solution will be to dive closer to the metal again.)
That makes sense, a 20-40% space savings means a lot more for 6 seasons of TV than it does for one 2-hour movie.
HN has always had a wider range of content than people tend to assume it has, and that's by design—when pg renamed it from "Startup News" to "Hacker News", that was the reason: https://news.ycombinator.com/hackernews.html.

For example, we had this thread 3 weeks after your account was created: RIP Michael Jackson - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=674438 - June 2009 (158 comments)

And of course the "How is this even remotely hacker news?" question was already in full swing back then: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=674461

In other words, twere ever thus!

This approach only works as long as no one class of story is over-represented to the point of being predictable, but that's ok because evading predictability is one of the core values of the site:

....what?

I mean, as you noted, the article says that 72% of reporting agencies saw a decrease. That's going to be true independent of any bias of the outstanding/non-reporting population. I don't see how your point is meaningful.

I also disagree that the article was 'heavily biased', given it spent roughly half its length talking about the issues with the FBI datasets, and that it's written in response to an espoused narrative that isn't even congruent with the data we do have.
The problem with "implicit allocation" is always multithreading.

An allocation library cannot serve two masters. Maximizing single thread performance is anathema to multithreaded performance.

I'd go further. If allocators don't matter, why are you using a systems programming language in the first place?
> There's no return on investment to convert

Nothing except doing things the standard way so that standards-compliant language implementations (and other tools) can work with them instead of targetting IE^H^H NodeJS's non-standard quirks.

NodeJS's reality distortion field has claimed another.

Ecmascript modules are going on 10 years old at this point. (For comparison, that's more than the amount of time that NodeJS existed when modules weren't a part of the language.)
Emacs/org-mode/org-roam managed, org-agenda on current year notes, notes are time-divided in files, one file per day, one dir per year under a common org-roam-directory. This reduce the amount of files org-agenda have to traverse and long running stuff got passed from an year to another in yearly summary notes.

It's a long road, I've hesitated much since for me it was a slow full migration to Emacs and EXWM at the same time than another step moving most of my configs to org-mode notes, tangle-ed from them and finally org-attaching files.

One part still left behind is literate programming though, I do for something, but not for most of the thing, since I tend to disperse myself in lengthy prose, loosing focus on the code and the available tooling inside org-babel blocks are limited/hard to use respect of a direct-code codebase.
You seem to think the root cause is either "people have too much sex" and/or "people should have the foresight to always get tested at the appropriate time".

Both of those things are not root causes. The first is your value judgment (which others do not share, and there's nothing wrong with that; your moralizing around this is unwelcome), and the second is just a fundamental understanding about the availability of healthcare and people's ability to access it when they need to.

If there is any kind of "root cause" here, it's the existence of HIV itself. We should do our best to eradicate it, and taking every measure possible to help prevent people from contracting it in the first place is a good way to do that. Sure, some of that will be through education, teaching people to avoid risky behaviors, and get tested regularly if they're in a high-risk group. But creating vaccines and other prophylactics is also a good way of doing that, arguably even better, because it doesn't require that you educate everyone and change everyone's behavior. That never works all that well.
