I raised the same concerns multiple times (there was a whole drama thread on GitHub issues at the time) about all of this and it’s clear that the Vue team don’t really care about developer experience or keeping consistent APIs.

If they were going to poorly clone react hooks api then I decided it wasn’t worth my time sticking to the niche framework and went back to react which I now really enjoy.

That and the bad TS support and broken dev tooling for years and the endless deprecated and abandoned tools like Vue CLI replaced by Vite and Vuex replaced by Pinia just highlighted the absurdity of trying to continue using Vue.
Also, JSX/TSX is clearly a superior approach with its vast ecosystem of support. Vue can use TSX but good luck with its single docs page and GitHub issues about it open since 2021.
> what is number of AI startups per capita a metric of?

A ratio of the number of startups and a certain amount of people. It definitely shows that founding a startup in Germany is not as easy as in other countries.
I take a very positive view of the fact that German society is not yet fully digitalized and that some developments are viewed rather critically and are only adopted in part.
Ultimately, I see adaptability as a particular strength of Germany. There is always a willingness to learn from mistakes and improve.
In a pluralistic society, this sometimes takes time, but I am sure that Germany is still on the right track. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Germany was often referred to as “the sick man of Europe”. That may now be the case again in the eyes of some people, but this will only be a transitional phase.
Well non-per-capita GDP is useless as a measure of living standards because it's primarily determined by population size. China has the second highest GDP in the world but the GDP per capita is less than half of most European countries and the average person's standard of living is significantly worse.
Which part of Belfast are you measuring from? Google maps says its only about 55 miles...
Yeah but this is really a cottage industry. If companies didn't expect applicants to grind leetcode this ai tutor wouldn't exist. The tutor isn't there to actually teach or innovate education in any way (as the authors claim in another post). It's there to reduce the friction between unemployment and employment.
Just thinking about the comparison with modern warfare drones. I wonder if the population at large is actually safer due to more accurate (or even any) targeting?
You can reenable S3 support on many thinkpads, it's in the bios they call it "Linux sleep".
Because that's where they can deliver.
Well short of an enclosure, the standard for power tools is to project some form of laser mark. Only when the operator verifies the mark is in the correct position should they activate the system. This would be a viable approach for a CNC-shaped array of curves and would not require a complete enclosure, which has various downsides (windage, size, weight, potential for damage, suitability for rough terrain, etc.)
Never attribute to malice a plan too stupid to work when the alternative is that a tech company underinvested in QA. If they were going to rig a game they probably wouldn't do it in a way so obvious their customers immediately flagged it.

But I agree that they deserve suspicion.
I don't know what the stats are and it seems that a lot of people are complaining about fake or stale job postings on job boards. I'm sure there are fakes out there. However, it's hard to imagine that this is a wide-scale problem. The reason is that job posting on job boards for engineering jobs are expensive. It makes no sense to dish out a ton of money for jobs that don't exist. On the other hand, postings on company corporate sites are free, so perhaps that's where the problem is.

Regarding stale postings, it's inevitable. When I post an ad, I get X resumes during week one, and I start reviewing them. Some of those people get to an interview. As I am interviewing the first bath, more people are applying. At some point, I find a candidate and we like each other. There are still other people in the pipeline who get rejected because the position is filled. To them, it looks like a stale job posting.

I'm a software engineer with ~8yrs experience. Here's somethings that I've done;

- Reduced cloud costs for a production kubernetes service by 20%. This was done by analysing pod utilisation on kubernetes and then right-sizing the pods to match the expected usage.

- Read the SMPP specification and implemented a client for it from scratch. Integrated the client into a production application and used it to send out SMS at averaget rates of 800/second.

- Created an open source ACME client based off the ACME specification.
I think Windows will shorten the lifespan of your SSD even if you use "shut down", at least if you don't disable "fast startup". "Fast startup" basically replaces "shut down" with a light form of hiberation, which makes shutting the machine down take a long while and turning it on about a second faster. Not worth the tradeoff in my opinion. I also got some bugs when using fast startup, sometimes the sound wouldn't work until a reboot or my WiFi took weirdly long to connect. This is on a Lenovo Yoga/IdeaPad.
The problems with the logic I see are:

1. Several years of lower growth, after years of higher growth, can have many causes. Many might be temporary, or reflect nontrivial time dynamics between growth factors & their results.

2. The digital transition was long in place before 2018. So that linkage looks very weak.

3. AI GDP growth due to AI is just getting going anywhere. So no link at all to those last several years.

4. Startup numbers don’t always reflect industry adoption numbers. Growth comes from many places.

I do think AI is going to eat up a lot of the economy. It is ultimately a foundational tech, like electricity & computation. And with high specialization potential, like software.

And AI tech has been improving quickly for many years now.

But even with explosive growth that will take time.

I expect a lot of bright people in Germany are aware of that likelihood.

That's a valid point for updated version of MVP. My experience showed me that it's doesn't matter where are you with the Meetup - bar or cafe or restaurant or park. Different types of people can be in any of these places. after "we both at the bar" - what were you expected to get? May be a set of questions around the bar or something else?

It really is awful and smells of leaky abstraction.

Now that this is the recommended way of writing Vue, I’d be really interested in your opinion on React.

Compare the “ref” in Vue with useState hook in React.

With the useState you get back two items: the value, and a setter.

Now every time you access the value you simply access it like a variable because it is.
From personal experience, it's still safe to never shut down an apple laptop, just throw it in the backpack/suitcase and it will be cool and with the same battery at the destination.

Tbh all my Apple laptops, including the piece of shit one with the emoji keyboard, have had no problem sleeping.

Ofc that's on mac os, not sure what they offer if you install linux or windows.
> yet Intel has decided to only include Thunderbolt 4 instead of Thunderbolt 5.

Well, they weren't sure if Thunderbolt 8 or 9 will be appropiate so they sticked with 4. /s
I am a father of three and I strongly disagree with you. I respect the right for others to enjoy their day without having to deal with someone else's loud or misbehaving children. I myself don't enjoy strangers' kids being loud and fully empathise with people who don't have kids.
I have no problem removing myself and my children from a place is we're being a nuisance.
I used to feel this way and then Vue 3 happened.
I made a super simple diff tool that's free and has no annoying ads
I know! I used ChatGPT to get ideas for the name + logo, and didn't realize the issue until it was too late
Vue uses virtual DOM like React (reference: https://vuejs.org/guide/extras/rendering-mechanism.html). You might have confused Vue's rendering mechanism with Svelte, or Angular.
Well, they're making the world harder to live in every day.

So also acquiring a new laptop is now a pain in the ass... good to know.

Hovercode | https://hovercode.com | REMOTE | Full-time or part-time | Full-stack developer

Hovercode is a QR code generator and analytics platform. We're a small, profitable company that's based in the UK and is trusted by tens of thousands worldwide. It's a pretty simple business compared to most on here and right now it's just me running it.

We're seeking a full-stack developer (mid level) who's language agnostic. Your primary focus will be improving our existing integrations and creating new ones. Integrations on our roadmap: Chrome, Figma, Airtable, Zapier, Make, and possibly more. If that works out, you will start to work on the core product, which is built with Django, Postgres and some Golang on the backend with mostly HTML, Alpine.js, HTMX, and vanilla JS on the front-end (and Tailwind).

Hovercode isn't a startup per se, but a small software business, so it's a calm working environment and part-time is an option. This makes it well suited to someone who wants more time and energy for life or to hack on their own projects etc.

More details and a short application form here: https://hovercode.com/careers/full-stack-dev/
Intel Core Ultra 200V promises Arm battery life without compatibility issues
> Therefore Consumers have the option to state their disapproval with the current state of S0ix by buying Laptops that still support S3.

I’d like to do this, as I find a laptop that cannot last in sleep for at least a week ill-suited for my needs. Where do I go to figure out if my next laptop supports proper sleep?
I didn't know S3 vs S0 but this may be the reason why I never keep my laptop in sleep mode and I prefer to put it in hibernate. What about hibernate? Couldn't it be an alternative to the "legacy sleep"?
> Maybe consider adding Fujitsu as a manufacturer. At least here in Europe they're fairly common

Probably because they bought ICL (which IIRC had itself recently bought Nokia's PC business) around the turn of the century.
Is this an advert ?
Ah thats really interesting! How do you evaluate large scale cloud scraping services, since its operations are entirely hidden from you?

Personally I am looking into options in this area, are you planning to offer a cloud based version of this at some point/could you tell which existing ones are good if not?
L Take
Why is that on the fp ?
As for the premise of the title alone: Good. Such a thing would be a welcome respite (if imperfect given the practical pervasiveness of digitization) from an ever more grossly digitized world of bullshit "optimization" that heavily serves as a cover for grotesque normalization of surveillance, social control, soft authoritarianism and centralized tracking across the board.

That such a title comes from a UK paper, from a country with a fundamentally sick level of social monitoring and essentially Orwellian levels of needing to spy on everything possible before selectively deeming it offensive, is amusing.

As for the article's content: It's half-baked screed about Germany being economically doomed by a contrived mishmash of fragmentary arguments that the author poorly defines or seems to understand. His strange blurbs about the dangers of the far right in Germany (this having to do what with digitization?) are just nonsensical. If anything, Germany is in political practice considerably more progressive than the UK has been for years, and in any case it's a long way from facing a resurgence of anything seriously resembling Nazism.

The Guardian sometimes posts interesting news, but more often than not, especially for opinion pieces, one wonders if its writers are capable of pulling their heads out of their asses long enough to string one coherent idea with another one.

Unfortunately a lot of Laptop manufacturers were forced to leave the fans on all the time due to overheating which would cause battery issues if they didn't run the fans.

I remember getting a BIOS update on my Dell a few years ago that permanently turned the fan on too.
Most likely started as a bug but then nobody wanted it fixed.
By lumping the UK together with the US it says absolutely nothing about either the UK or the US.
> In our internal statistics and analytics on AI assisted programming it’s a very bad option for “junior” programmers. Basically it reduces productivity by quite a lot, it also produces a lot more pull request rejections due to really bad code. On the flip-side, things like co-pilot makes experts in their field of programming sooooo much more efficient.

There's been a study already. "AI" assisted beginners learned ... about nothing compared to the control beginners group. I think it was linked here on HN.

A LLM might help if it does not give you code but only answers short questions. Unless it's as good as those support chatbots.
There is a proposal for that too: https://site.spawning.ai/spawning-ai-txt but it's wholly unclear if AI companies actually do something with this or if it's just wishful thinking...

Some AI companies follow robots.txt (OpenAI and Google, for example) but others ignore it. There's also other limitations around using robots.txt to sole this problem: https://searchengineland.com/robots-txt-new-meta-tag-llm-ai-...
Germany's GDP per capita is notably lower compared to the USA: $85,373 vs $54,291. Additionally, the USA has experienced real growth, while Germany’s growth has been around 0% for the last four years. Even Russia, despite facing significant challenges, has seen 3.5% growth compared to Germany's 0.1%. It’s concerning that Germany's economic performance lags behind a country under such heavy sanctions.
Excellent! I will give it a try.

The website itself is a bit underwhelming for several reasons. For the reader who already gets the idea, the text makes sense. But try to read it as a new visitor and my guess is many of them are clueless and will probably bounce. Also add some examples, maybe a video (not the one you have linked here)

The website gives the feeling it is a Lean Startup style MVP launch, just a test if you get traction on the idea. Either fake it till you make it, or better, give the early users the comfort of (an idea that) their website will function when you pull the plug tomorrow.
GDP per capita is more telling, IMHO.

Major European countries are encouraging high immigration to boost overall GDP numbers but the result is higher population growth than GDP growth. Ie. GDP per capita is decreasing and hence, in reality people are getting poorer.

For instance, it seems that Germany's population grew by more than 0.4% in 2023 (between 0.5 and 0.8% from what I can find online)... Certainly, in the UK's case the GDP growth is only due to the frantic influx of people but GDP per capita is going down.
Out of all industrial nations intent to put Germany (rightfully) to shame I'd say Great Britain is one of the worst examples. Specifically UK's economic model of centralization towards London and its financial hub has been rather destructive to the rest of the nation.

PS: And if the idiotic propping up of AI as the focus-point of whether a society fares well or not continues, then I'll guess we'll at some point see what we've seen with other "crucial sectors" across europe before: Nations backing/establishing local market "champions". Think AI city works (bad in quality but rich in government contracts).
OSS, ALSA, Pulseaudio, pipewire you've got a lot of layers you could be getting sound at
I have no idea how this is still as fucked as it is. Nothing in this space has worked properly ever.

Moved to Apple Silicon in 2021 after my Dell Precision cooked itself (and my lunch!) to death in my bag on a train. No issues since.
I guess because Kagi is a search engine that gets a lot of attention as of late. I suppose they need funding, but I'm not sure just posting the store link in here without explanation is the right way to go, especially to those who don't know what Kagi is.
It doesn't necessarily show that at all as an isolated statistic - it could be telling us that Germany has less people who are convinced an AI startup is a sensible business decision, or any other number of population based factors
I don’t think this is really an argument for or against non-complete agreements in the United States.

It’s basic United States separation of powers. If Congress passed a law eliminating or banning non-completes, then it would be legal.

As an asdie, it seems that the Biden administration is positioning itself to overstep it’s authority with things it feels would be popular with specific voting blocks that will obviously be overturned by the courts and then position that the courts are too partisan. They are satisfied with how this works with voters even if the actual policies cannot actually be implmemented.

I don’t think most serious observers felt this would make it through court review.
S3 basically killed a perfectly good Dell XPS 15 a few years ago. The fan would never stop running.
For anyone reading this, I thought S3 was referring to the AWS S3 and was really confused initially. Instead S3 here refers to a sleep state - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to....
It definitely does not show that, it's just a number and you're interpreting it. But other interpretations are just as valid, e.g.

- Germans founding less because they're more risk-averse
- having less AI startups because other types of companies are founded more often
- Less wish to found because of a strong job market that gives you excellent jobs with decision power/money/whatever it is you seek in founding yourself
- People have more families and don't want to quit their current jobs

I probably could come up with more. Is it a hassle to found a new company in Germany? Sure. But I've found that for people who do want to start something, that's not a showstopper. Personally, I would attribute low startup numbers to cultural risk aversion of Germans
I attempted to use ChatGPT and other tools as a middle ground for my writing, but even asking it to format a few paragraphs and add missing dialog tags often ends with the story being altered entirely.

Using AI as a reader to give feedback is maybe safer, but even then it's going to make your writing more generic.

LLMs work by giving the most likely next word, and the illusion here for a writer is that the LLM is a helpful partner that is thinking about the story you've written, but really all it's doing is pushing it to be more mainstream and closer to existing works. It also has a tendency to want to resolve and wrap up a narrative, and can lead to bad suggestions that seem reasonable but push you towards a character dead end
Is it running Windows? I've found that on Linux this specific issue doesn't happen, it will turn off the fans, and they will stay off. But the battery is still drained, even though, on average, I tend to get better battery life than with Windows on the same machine.

But Windows tends to wake it up randomly and do God knows what, since the PC will actually be hot to the touch.

Bonus points for attempting to install updates, then reboot, only to end up stuck waiting for the BitLocker PIN.
But if you pour that water onto a plant, and then you eat the fruit or vegetables of that plant, is it safe?

Is there any application of "Modern Standby" that is actually delivering significant value to customers somewhere? A lot of the theoretical benefits of it, IMO, have been relatively theoretical. Perhaps Windows updates, but the computers I've used with Modern Standby still have to spend time installing updates when awake.

I cannot imagine what the benefit of receiving notifications and other information like this on a Windows system would be. As far as I know, very, very few apps are programmed for the native "App" development flow (or even to use the notifications api) as opposed to "desktop" apps, and the number only gets smaller as you go into long tail enterprise apps. Perhaps this was designed for Outlook, but I think the use case is dubious.

Of course, there are millions of laptops in the wild, many of which are undoubtedly used by the people who work on Windows. Every time I find the laptop closed and running its fans, or find a computer in a bag that is slightly warm near the CPU (expected behaviour of working Modern Standby), I wonder whether it's just my computer or if it's every single one of them out there. Do people just accept that their computer has to be either shut down or will have an unknown amount of remaining power? It seems like there would have been a huge push to get this fixed if it was really broken, but I rarely hear users talking about it.

Of course I do wonder whether with the advent of the new Qualcomm ARM CPUs, whether they have finally managed to get Modern Standby to be a good clone of what Android devices do...
Efficiency and exploitations were just two example hypothesis — it being them and not others is not fundamental to the argument I made.

Hibernate mode takes a long time to enter and exit, as it involves writing a lot of data to disk and then reading it back upon resuming. The whole point of Sleep mode is that it's fast: you just close the lid and you're in sleep mode, saving power. Then if you want to check something quickly, or resume your work, you just open the lid and in a few seconds or less, your computer is fully operational again.
macOS has its own fair share of sleep bugs, particularly stuff like Parallels, IntelliJ or MS Teams for whatever reason routinely manage to prevent sleep or to randomly activate and hog the dGPU, turning a "lap top" to a "testicle airfryer".

More than once I went on a train ride to the office, having clicked "Suspend" in the main menu and watching the screen go black before placing the laptop in my bag, just to find out the battery was completely drained and the 2019 MBP so hot that it not just required cooling down before it would power up again but also hot enough to fry an egg - an IR thermometer showed 70 °C!

If anyone knows or writes an application that could place a red warning icon in the menu bar warning me that "suspending" will not actually work, I'll be glad to exchange it for a crate of beer.
Thanks suryo
A GPU with a dedicated encoder for x264 or preferably x265/AV1. You can do without it, but you'll spend a core or two on software encoding and the overhead will add a few tens of ms of lag.

With full hardware capture and encode (default on windows, can require tweaking on Linux ) it's virtually free resource-wise.
