Because they measure the wrong things or is completely driven by sentiment.

Sort of similar, a friend of mine was fired. Ostensibly for not bringing in enough revenue/profit in a consulting business. Very few of his hours where billable, so he looked unprofitable. The issue: He was working on internal tooling, building systems that everyone else rely on to do their jobs effectively. His value was hidden in the work of others, but that's not measured.

When looking a "work from home", you rarely see companies measure job satisfaction, stress levels or even do proper exit interviews. The sort of things you need to keep on top of the keep people long term. Many customers won't report back to your boss that because you sat a your desk at home you where able to help them after your normal working hours, saving time the next day. In consulting tracking billable hours is normal, but if you don't track when and where those hours are worked, you're not going to see that some work better at the office, while others have a skyrocketing productivity boost at home.

Other times you have bosses that wants "butts in seat" because they don't trust their employees. Hell, we had a sister company where the employees sat in a fucking horseshoe configuration at the office, on the "inside" of the horseshoe, so the owner could sit at the open end at check that people where working at all times. Do you think that fucker is going to let people work from home?
You can used shared buffers in chrome so one could use webworkers for a lot of processing. However, we are still waiting for many Apis to be available in webworkers.
> Claiming it will cripple engineers is quite far fetched.

But the emphasis leads to the MBAs (like McKinsey people) getting into leadership. Then the people who rise are not the people who are great engineers, but people who can play the people games. Look at the effect of the McDonnell Douglas merger on Boeing when the “people” people pushed out the engineering people.
Only way to compete electron is by building a webtech compatible UI engine that is lighter weight, more secure, higher performance, and renders well.

That is big engineering task and not something a small group of devs can do.

Only thing that could comes close is building electron and chromium compatible api on top of Zed team's UI engine.
“I don't think that's really the case.“

Evidence? I’ve interned at a larger one and learned a lot about the others along the way. So I’m basing this on experience. What are you basing this on?
We cannot perfectly replicate how real life worms behave because we don't have the necessary training data. We can create AI worms based on fake behavioral data, of course, but that will not result in prefect AI replicas of real world worms. We do have untold terabytes of the written word and that's sufficient to bootstrap intelligence with. It turns out that going to space, splitting the atom, and creating general superintelligence is easier than understanding insect behavior or replicating exactly how a bumblebee flies. Our intuitions about the relative difficulty of unsolved scientific questions are pretty much useless. Some seemingly easy things are in fact impossibly difficult and the inverse is true as well.
In my experience, using tools that do not support the "Go To Implementation" shortcut makes it hard. In IntelliJ, Ctrl+Shift+Click will take you to the possible implementors of an interface.

Concrete example from work today - we have a trading application and there are many paths that lead to alerts of some kind. Alerts are usually raised inline with any business logic (as should be - they intrinsically coupled). Alerts however can be delivered differently - via SMS, other messaging systems and/or log messages. The different places where the alerts need to be generated do not _need_ to know how the alert is going to be physically delivered to its destination - they just need to generate it. Without an interface (or at least a type alias for a function) - it would make being able to say e.g. this alert is a direct phone message vs. a chat message in some channel because of the type it is - much harder.
Well "modern" and "longevity" are kinda at odds with each other, so it may depend on where you choose your arbitrary cut-off point, but I'd say OpenBSD could be one such example. They do sometimes drop support for architectures (RIP VAX), but that usually happens when the last such box in question physically dies. Otherwise they've maintained their bi-yearly release cycle and kept the system small, clean, robust, and secure for what's now decades.

1. morals drive ethics, so no point separating the two.

> This is such bad advice that I honestly couldn’t tell if it was a parody or not until I read the comment section—it’s not.

There is a large body of content on why concepts discussed in the article are championed. And also a large body of content on how they are misused (and I agree that can be - even to a huge degree).

So while, I think it is fine to judge that ascribed benefits are not worth the cost (or are not even realizable in a typical development team). Or argue why the benefits of an architecture like this doesn't work for Rust in particular - which may be the case since many of these patterns are oriented towards design in the enterprise applications space. But ascribing the approach as being a "parody" is not at all constructive.

The patterns of hexagonal architecture isn't in any way coupled to OOP even if some of the terminology is highly aligned with languages in the OOP space. In fact the well regarded (at least by me) Mark Seeman has an article how Ports and Adapters, another name for Hexagonal Architecture, is inherently functional [1]. And this resonates with my experience.

I have seen the pattern implemented well across: Python, Typescript, Javascript, .Net, Scala, and Go. And while the systems languages such as: C, Rust, and beyond are quite distinct from the previously discussed languages. There is certainly space for debate on the viability of the application of these patterns.

This is often due to the total costs being externalised (pushed off to others) and therefore not reflecting the true cost of the replacement nor the costs of (safe) disposal of the old unit.

Externalised costs such as emissions from manufacturing of new raw materials (metals, plastics, gases, etc.), transportation, disposal, and more.

Obviously it depends on what exactly fails. I've kept 'white goods' going for over 20 years despite:

1) known defect where Hotpoint Fridge/Freezer evaporator thermistor fails due to freeze/defrost thermal cycle. Replaced more than 10 times; cost of new thermistor is pennies; time to replace (after initial explore) 10 minutes.

2) Freezer control PCB misreading thermistor; replace PCB: UK£35.

3) LG Washing machine bearing failures; replaced about 6 times; time to replace (after initial explore): 45 minutes.

I think sometimes repair-or-replace depends on one's state of mind. Figuring out what is wrong and how to fix can be frustrating but, equally, it can be extremely satisfying to realise you can do it and are no longer reliant on some mystical "expert" !

Society as a whole in many countries is losing (or has already lost) the ability to be self-reliant and that lack makes people and communities generally more fragile.

Self-reliance is one of the drivers of hackers and tinkerers.

Show HN: Coding project to sift through Elon Musk's Twitter feed for tech posts
Hi! Fun little coding project I did to rate the tweets from Elon Musk on technical content, and retweet if they are above a certain threshold.

Rating is done using GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

The number of political tweets from Musk was getting too much for me, but didn't want to miss the technical stuff that he tweets about.
The midlist has moved into self publishing. Many more books are published on amazon than by trad publishers. Many of them don't sell, but the numbers (guess) aren't probably that different from fad publishing in terms of success.

Many authors that succeed at self publishing move to traditional publishers. (Hugh Howe, E L James) Others (Tamara Taylor) like to control and much higher royalties and stay self published.

Higher order functions can be used for dependency injection.

Dependency injection and the Dependency inversion principle are not one and the same.

The principle makes a claim, that inversion is a good onto itself.

Injection is a tool not a claim.

I suspect (possibly incorrectly) that earthquakes are a chaotic phenomenon resulting from a multilayered complex system, a lot like a lottery ball picker.

Essentially random outputs from deterministic systems are unfortunately not rare in nature…. And I suspect that because of the relatively higher granularity of geology vs the semicohesive fluid dynamics of weather, geology will be many orders of magnitude more difficult to predict.

That said, it might be possible to make useful forecasts in the 1 minute to 1 hour range (under the assumption that major earthquakes often have a dynamic change in precursor events), and if accuracy was reasonable in that range, it would still be very useful for major events.

Looking at the outputs of chaotic systems like geolocated historical seismographic data might not be any more useful than 4-10 orders of magnitude better than looking at previous lottery ball selections in predicting the next ones…. Which is to say that the predictive power might still not be useful even though there is some pattern in the noise.

Generative AI needs a large and diverse training set to avoid overfitting problems. Something like high resolution underground electrostatic distribution might potentially be much more predictive than past outputs alone, but I don’t know of any such efforts to map geologic stress at a scale that would provide a useful training corpus.

The scientific consensus is that the virus spilled over from wild animals sold at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan. There's strong evidence to back this up.

There's zero evidence that the virus has anything to do with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and in fact relatively strong evidence that they didn't have or even know about the virus before it spilled over.

Well, I'm managing a whole fleet of Docker (and, not too long ago, LXD) containers at work. So I definitely know that ecosystem.

Of course you can take any old Docker image and just run it as-is.

Just as I can simply run old FreeBSD releases in jails.

But that's not the whole story, is it? 3rd party dependency updates and whatnot.

And yes, I feel simply deleting my jails and letting my scripts recreate them feels calm to me. I haven't had anything break or require too much attention so far. Can't say that for all the Docker stuff.

All aspects of health care and health insurance in the US is inefficient by design to employ more people. The solution to that inefficiency is to eliminate many jobs. This is commonly known.

The problem though is that health care, while very expensive and not universally available in the US, is very good. It is not clear if destroying the large number of jobs to sufficiently make the health industry more cost effective will impact the quality of care and it will be economically disruptive. The primary reason why people are sheepish to solve that problem is that it’s politically toxic with no immediate profit incentive.
And this is how we operationalize age discrimination. Note the layoffs of middle management announced at the same time. Force everyone into the office, ideally through a difficult commute into an area that it's very expensive to have a family.

Intel's Arc GPUs are quite competent (especially with the highly necessary driver updates). If Battlemage fixed the hardware scheduling design flaw, Intel has a decent shot at competing with AMD.

If AMD continues to lose ground on the desktop market and Intel continues to advance with Arc, there's a chance the PS6/Xbox Series 360 will run on Intel instead of AMD.
Sure. But Indy processes an amazing amount. Assume it’s 10k/hour or even 1000/hour average over the year and it doesn’t change the point.

At 1000/hour it means they did 9 million packages a year and seized .001 percent of them (think I got that right, on my phone)

FedEx does 15 million packages a day (2.8 billion a year) overall and this is the second largest hub. So the number is probably much closer to 100k an hour than 1000/hour.

FedEx is expanding capacity to 140k/hour as well
How do you know they don’t have sleep apnea? You’re making the assumption that the snoring people are healthy, whereas the logical assumption would be that something is making them snore.

I understand the need for human contact and to get out of the house. But you can achieve that working "from home", too, albeit with some consideration for confidentiality requirements[1]. Usually the place you must work from isn't defined. I work "from home", but once a week I work in the same room as a bunch of locals who also work from home.

A few advantages: 1) you have a wider pool of people to choose to co-work with, since they can have other employers, too; 2) you can choose who you want to co-work with; 3) you get to (mostly) choose which and how many hours you wish to co-work; 4) no stress about being late due to a commute or childcare commitments, since co-working hours are optional.

> I know this might be an "unpopular opinion,"

It should not be. I work from home 100% now, but feeling alone is a very real issue for many of us. I have friends I talk to during the day via IRC or one the phone, regular chats and video calls with colleagues and managers, family is right around the corner and I try to get out every day and talk to people.

For some the isolation is wonderful. For others, like me, it's amazing for doing focused work, but I also need people in my life. For some problem arises when their sole social circle is people they work with. If you struggle to talk to people you don't know then coworkers quickly be an "outlet" for socializing.
I think your identification of that distinction is entirely too generous. Typically the derision of dependency inversion extends to inversion of control since they are cut from the same cloth. One just focuses on what is being inverted and the other the process of inversion.
