re: "modern development experience" - more and more technical projects can be seen as "just" software projects with huge data dependencies. For gaming, the data dependencies are binary texture files, sound files, and more. For biotech these are binary formats from equipment and for analysis. And for ML these are images, video, text (and binary formats for text like Parquet).

One of core motivations behind XetHub is to enable teams across industries to benefit from the workflow we've used in software for 15+ years. We've used this workflow for so long it is easy to overlook its benefits.

Software teams have a clear picture of who is working on what, what is in flight, what is in review, and what is remaining. Anyone on the team can easily pick up work in progress from someone else or start a new derivation of work without concern about interference. Teams can be distributed across timezones and yet everyone feels connected to the project and is able to contribute without disruption.

The power of a GitHub-style workflow for team collaboration comes from being able to experiment freely (branches or forks), review easily (pull requests), and observe (passively learn) best practices from the team (issues, code review feedback).

There is a public sector version of the "broken windows" trope: pervasive incompetence and misfeasance serves as an enticement and breeding ground for actual grift and malfeasance.
I'm tired of all the AI hate here. It ruins HN for me.
Human babies can swim, kinda. But the instinctive version of swimming that comes preinstalled in our brains is not like riding a bike. It's something that we forget how to do if we don't practice, and then we have to re-learn it.
We don't need this crap. I use notepad to strip formatting fron text and sometimes, to read text files.
IIRC Blink 182 had a hidden track "Fuck a Dog" on their album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.

The same criticisms apply to Tailscale

No it doesn't.

Tailscale's shell script is entirely optional and installs a distro/package manager specific package. It also doesn't mess with your PATH variable.

They maintain packages for most popular distros as you can see here https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/.

The sibling comments are just spreading misinformation because those people were too lazy to actually look anything up.
You made me happy. What all these comments miss is it gives the author a way to be creative. AI image generators are amazing at what they can create. Be creative and go wild.
Three months from now I won't remember using the script to install it. And the contents of the script could completely change. This is not a helpful take.
> Crashes would be avoided by having every train know about the train ahead and behind, and unable to make any move which would cause a collision (ie. it is not allowed to slam the brakes on if there is a train right behind you).

You are assuming that a train will never have to suddenly stop. This will never fly in the real world. Even if you consider a completely closed railway system with no possibility of external obstructions, there are many kinds of failure that would cause modern trains to apply emergency breaks due to fail-safe designs.

If you remove the bit about not allowing to slam on the breaks, then you just described SelTrac. Even the first version used on the Vancouver SkyTrain (opened in the 80s) is capable of running trains closer than braking distance from what I remember reading. I don't believe it is actually enabled on many SelTrac systems though, because you still need to have safety margins. There is always the possibility that the train in front may decelerate at a rate higher than its emergency braking rate, like if it derailed or collided with external obstructions.
No. Let authors have fun. To me they have the same vibe as gifs or badges of the early 2000s internet: just something that people add to their content just for fun. In spirit, this is great.
Large companies vs. large teams is not the same.

Irrelevant images definitely cheapen the perceived quality of an article, but let's not conflate "AI image" with "irrelevant image."

AI images are often at least as relevant as a stock photo, if not more so (assuming the creator spent the extra 30 seconds to make a prompt that's more tailored to the content)

Huh, I don't think I have run into that very often, but I do tend to not go beyond 3 years old for Macs since work replaces them.

Even if apps require macos 14, it looks like it is supported on machines going back to 2018 for the most part:

I suspect that Macs will reach back to M1s for quite a while.
The OP mentioned technical blogs, which are commercial a lot of the time. I should know, I've written a lot of them.
This pattern isn't unique to Apple computers. I upgraded my 4th gen Intel machine to a 14th gen last years (mobo finally crapped out), and it's by far the most underwhelming upgrade I've ever done. Sure it's faster some of the time, but in general use (not compiling or encoding) it doesn't feel much different. I remember going from a 100MHz 486 to a 300MHz AMD K6 in my youth, and then to 900MHz Tbird. That was some upgrades you could feel!
Yeah. The reality is that many templates, etc. more or less require an image of some sort however generic.
Some parts are copiable, but not the more abstract things like the human intellect, for lack of a better word.

We are not even born with what you might consider basic mental faculties, for example it might seem absurd, but we have to learn to see... We are born with the "hardware" for it, a visual cortex, an eye, all defined by our genes, but it's actually trained from birth, there is even a feedback loop that causes the retina to physically develop properly.
We never did skid recovery practice or emergency stops in drivers ed, but that was decades ago for me.
You can close the left dock (ctrl+b for me). The gutter is still huge, though.
No? Why would it matter if it’s an AI image or a stock photo?
Speaking of sweeping things under the rug, it's really interesting how quickly this fell off the first page of HN. There wasn't even time for the comments to turn emo before poof...gone. Been noticing a lot of this lately. Pointless and useless stories with almost no comments will linger on the first page for half a day or more, but stories that matter are getting moderated away before they even elicit two digits of comments.
Thankfully you're not - thankfully we're all not NPCs in Counter Strike or Minecraft or any other game with a hint of possible violence in it. "Doing a GTA irl" is absolutely repulsive - so we've got video games which are there for entertainment. We can just sidestep the debate about whether violence in video games makes violence in real life more likely because that debate has been thoroughly covered in other venues but part of GTA being fun is that it doesn't involve real people. Most of us would be horrified in a real life GTA scenario both from the damage we were causing to others and the fact that we were capable of doing that damage - but NPCs aren't real.

Do you have anything to back up your claim other than anecdote?

I was able to find this study:

https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15/8/6347
> ("$category simply isn't interested in $topic").

First link that came up in my Google search:

https://www.psypost.org/women-like-working-with-people-men-l...

It is almost certain that differences in interest play a large role in the different distributions of men and women in different occupations. The studies showing this are well known and I have not seen them debunked.

Please note that labelling a claim with strong backing in empirical evidence "bigotry" does not magically change reality to conform with what you would like it to be. You need to produce actual evidence to the contrary.
It's well worth your time
| among the engineers there are a significant number of people who believe that's how things should be

There are close to zero people who tend to think like that among actual engineers. That's why we have reliable transportation and bridges and skyscrapers that work for (soon to be) centuries. On the other hand, we have lots of them among self-professed "engineers" who have changed many monikers over the past couple of decades and will probably call themselves "gods" in a few more years down the line.

Surprised they didn't make it a FlatPak. Probably would anger some, but it would work with most Linux distributions.
I find memes to be more annoying as the meme stock images are far less likely to be relevant and to add any value. AI generated images, on the other hand, are sometimes used to illustrate something useful. Given a choice, I would personally still prefer non AI images though as I appreciate the effort and the "personal touch".
You can't meld the rules together to get a cohesive view of, for example, "who can access this S3 bucket?". Because, for example, an SCP can override a bucket policy. And policies can be other places too.

I can get "can this specific role/user access this specific bucket", just not the other direction.

It's not because the language isn't consistent, it's because the language isn't backed by a single cohesive RBAC type setup.
Off topic, but I like this blog style/layout. I can imagine it isn't everyones taste, but it just works for me
Maybe this is a dumb question but why does it require a 50k$ spectrum analyzer to see the returned signal from the tag? The frequencies involved aren't that high (<1 GHz) and I don't get the impression that the symbol rate is particularly high. Is it below the noise floor for low cost SAs or something?
One, you wouldn't be giving away hundreds of dollars of your time unless we had a role for you (unlike Triplebyte, we interview you only if, conditional on you doing well, we have a job you'd be interested in). So the only time you'd be losing is the time to do a signup form.

But to answer your question:

> How many fully remote jobs paying over $200k base do you have in your pipeline?

Depends on your standard for "pipeline", but we have one such role active right now. It's a performance-heavy low-level (Rust-based) role for a startup doing real-time video processing.

> Basically I have no interest in making a profile to be a sales object to help a startup

Sure, that's fine. You don't owe us anything, but I'd encourage you to think about the incentives that creates for founders. What you're saying, in essence, is "you should lie to me and tell me you're bigger than you are if you want to get off the ground". Which is what most startups - I believe early TB included, by the way - do, and something I'm trying not to do.

> My current employer is largely hiring non-US. What countries do you hire out of?

We're primarily US-focused, but it's not a hard limitation. The open remote role mentioned earlier is open to remote worldwide except for close-to-GMT+0-timezones.

> It's not even clear to me to me what types of roles they place (e.g. SREs?)

Primarily product-eng roles, although by chance the open roles right now skew towards low-level optimization. Our interview is definitely not optimized for SREs - you could sign up if you wanted, and we could even try and match you, but we wouldn't be able to make very strong guarantees about skill for an SRE yet (and we'd tell employers that). FWIW, Triplebyte didn't have a dedicated SRE track for four-plus years; we haven't even been doing business for four months.

> Lastly I want to throw in a tidbit that it's my personal belief, at the later stages of a long career in tech, that technical skill is really not that important to most employers nor even most roles nor getting promoted (as compared to things like Jira-fu, making your manager look good, handling conflict).

There is some truth to this, but it's less true in the startup world in which we currently operate (and will be for quite a while). If there's not demand, there's not demand, and we'll just fail as a company, but even in this market there's so far been enough demand to bring in some clients.
Why do you want a personal subscription instead of an org subscription? Isn’t it great the org pays and all input is not collected for the big AI?

Still not ideal though.
I don’t think I ever found them in a particular space, but the people who I’ve spent the most time with (family, roommates, the occasional colleague) seem to be “my people”. They put up with my idiosyncrasies and get what I try to be about, and eventually want to participate in long pedantic conversations.
> My point is that if you just listed the download link to the tarball, it would actually be closer to your own goal of reducing installation friction. The shell script is so much more friction because I have to read bash code instead of just clicking a download link.

That’s weird. With every paper I’ve published (in chemistry) the authors don’t handle the metadata. We upload our article sources (in latex or word) and the publisher handles the rest. I’ve never done anything more.

Is this different in other fields? Or in sketchy journals?
It's odd that the article didn't mention nix, at least to say "We didn't like it for this reason".

I have a shell script that will recursively copy and rewrite the rpaths of every shared-object that all elf files in a sub-directory reference to bundle it up. It obviously can't handle dlopen(), and ld-linux cannot be specified as a relative-path to the executable, but it works for many binaries.

Of course that has the problem that vendoring always has; you have pinned every dependency, which is great for making the software work, but you miss out on security updates.
While per-thread nurseries certainly work, I recently became aware that TCMalloc actually supports either per-thread mode or per-CPU mode: https://google.github.io/tcmalloc/overview.html#tcmalloc-cac...

I have not looked into this very deeply but from first principles it would appear to me that a per-CPU nursery would be strictly better than a per-thread nursery for typical applications.

I wonder what makes the author think it would be a good idea to use `config/cache` as their cache root directory. A cache is not configuration.

Same issue with `config/local/state`: state is not a part of configuration.
Large teams are a non-monetary bonus/incentive for the managerial class. At a manager's prospective employer they'll be asked for and judged by their headcount, much like engineers are asked for their previous salary.

Large teams don't cause success. They require success to sustain their bloat.

“Almost never” sounds like you did. There are a few factors at play such as temperature that can’t be exactly characterised so it has to be conservative.
Why would you prefer your own personal subscription over a business plan?

I just checked the offering today and was confused why the personal subscription is with $10 almost half of the business plan with $19.
After some more browsing I found a page which claimed that a business plan had better privacy protection (e.g. your input is not used for training). So the business plan seems to be a tad better.
One use-case I always try is to have an AI try to read a school calendar image where days off are or days of interest are highlighted using a legend. i.e.: days with a square, circle or triangle or different color, etc.

When asking days for specific days of interest for the school year, AIs always struggle. They get some days right but forget some or fabulate new days. They fare a bit better if you remove some of the noise and give them only a picture of a month but even then, it's unreliable.
This discussion on federal disclosure requirements for zero-days is really interesting: https://jia.sipa.columbia.edu/news/us-government-and-zero-da...

"The policy also includes all vulnerabilities (hardware or software) that were “newly discovered and not publicly known,” regardless of whether they were discovered by the government or purchased on the grey markets, which sell to governments and other hacking groups. However, in a notable loophole, agencies did not have to submit vulnerabilities that were not “newly discovered.” That is, if the zero day was discovered prior to 2010, they could be retained with no subsequent review. Indeed, once a vulnerability went through the process and was retained there was no periodic review to see if the decision was still solid risk management. Also, this process would have excluded non-commercial vulnerabilities and probably those that were not made or used in the United States or by its allies. If the CIA or NSA were able to get their hands on a zero day in a Russian-made S-400 air defense missile system, they would not need DHS concurrence to keep it secret."

There are a few ways for feds to avoid disclosing zero-days they're aware of, but I don't think any of them apply in this instance. Maybe they have something equivalent to an ISOO notice to prevent news orgs from publishing classified information to prevent Microsoft, etc. from disclosing security vulnerabilities they're actively using?

I don't know how this specific acquisition is going to work out, but at least we can say one thing. This represents some kind of response to the constant chorus of "AMD don't appreciate the importance of software. AMD should invest more in software. CUDA, CUDA, CUDA" comments that one always hears when AMD is mentioned.

Of course there's room to debate the details here: would they have, perhaps, been better off investing that money in their existing software team(s)? Or spinning up (a) new team(s) from scatch? Who's to say. But at least it show some intention on their behalf to beef up their software stance, and generally speaking that feels like a positive step to me.

But then again, I'm an AMD fan boi who is invested in the ROCm ecosystem, so I'm not entirely unbiased. But I think the overall point stands, regardless of that.
This is technically interesting - but I think what you're looking for is a MUD.

Ask HN: Delaware Public Benefit Corporation Implications
Hi,

We are European founders and are in the process of registering a Delaware Corporation and considering a Delaware Public Benefit Corp instead of a Delaware C Corp.

1) Any founders here who chose a PBC for their company structure?
1.1) How was your fundraising experience?
2) Any investors here who invest/have invested in PBCs, if not, why not?
3) Does anyone know if YC has invested in PBCs?

Thanks!
