I'd say another generational issue here is that informal digital communication is often seen as 'unprofessional' by the older generations in a way informal in person conversations are not. If you greet someone with a high five and a 'how's it hanging?' in person, that's fine and you making connections, but if you use emoji/abbreviations/gifs/deliberately are informal in your digital communication, it's 'unprofessional'. The only reference points the elders in the office have for digital communication is email: The most formal of digital communication media.

I'm a core/elder Millennial and there's a wide gulf in how I communicate in a Teams chat with my immediate team versus how I communicate via email to an external party. I find that a lot of Gen X+ people bring a really sterile, HR approved vibe to all their digital communications and then complain there's no way to build relationships. (Not all - my supervisor is a Gen X former teacher and he manages informal digital communication fine, as do the few Gen X and Boomer coworkers who've been online for decades.)
> Health care cannot be described as "very good" while it is not accessible to all.

It may not be universally very good, but it can certainly be very good in particular instances.

One can also compare health care systems by quantiles or medians.

Yes, we have lower life expectancy and higher infant mortality than other nations, but we also have an underclass which may larger, more violent and poorer than those in other countries (I write ‘may be’ because I do not know for a fact). That’s definitely a huge problem which should be addressed, but it isn’t a health care problem despite its effect on health.

>But how, then, are we to recognize paradigm shifts?

The strength of the argument and supporting evidence. Big claims need big evidence. Simple as. One problem specifically in history today is many historians can get by their whole career by being an X historian where X is some political ideology or social science construct. They can write endless papers analyzing existing work through that lense whether or not it makes sense to do so or really adds anything to the body of work. This is where a lot of revisionist history comes from. They aren't performing original research and finding new evidence and sources. They are merely critiquing the work of others through their chosen lense.

The worst form of revisionist history is of course just denying the facts as they are known and inventing your own. But thats is rare within serious academia these days with a few notable exceptions.
Looks like a cool project, and props for making it universal for all runtimes. A few pieces of feedback:

1. I don't understand the use case for emojis. If I'm using a logging library in production it's so I can pipe my structured logs into an observability tool. Do emojis provide value in this case?

2. Consider including timestamps by default and adding a config option to remove of needed. I personally can't think of a time where I wouldn't want timestamps in my logs.

Lastly a question: Just because other loggers don't claim to be universal, do they actually break on Deno/Bun?
> would have had access to the complete source code and hardware schematics

Forcing every company to open source their products is a pipe dream. This is never going to happen.

Even if one country passed such a law, manufacturers would move their production to a different country. The products would then be imported and redistributed as foreign products, circumventing the law.

From a realpolitik standpoint, China has embraced elements of capitalism as a key strategy for economic growth. If I were to offer a speculative (and somewhat tongue-in-cheek) recommendation for Xi Jinping, it might be to create a free zone modeled on Western liberal traditions to compete more effectively with Silicon Valley and the U.S. Of course, Hong Kong was arguably positioned for this role, but given its recent trajectory, it raises the question of whether such a zone could exist within China's current political framework. Could a new experiment along these lines reconcile liberal economic freedoms with centralized political control?
I've become convinced that, in the end, no one really teaches you anything, you end up teaching yourself. That phrasing is a bit hyperbolic. It's more accurate to say a good teacher only gets you 50%, 60%, maybe 70% of the way there, and it's up to you to get you to 100%.

To be able to truly learn any given concept means being capable of answering a practically infinite number of different questions about that topic. The process of teaching is essentially trying to uncover which questions the student can't answer. The challenge, of course, is that the student doesn't know what questions they can't answer, because the questions haven't occurred to them. That is, until they start testing themselves, to see if they really do understand the concept.

Problem sets in textbooks are the canonical way of addressing this teaching challenge, but there are only so many pages in a textbook, and there are other concepts that need to be taught, so the scope of the problem sets are necessarily finite.

How many times have you nailed all the problems in a book, only to discover that there was some aspect of the topic you didn't understand, despite getting all the right answers?

The article seems to analyze a statistical practice from a theoretical perspective.

Using the same perspective, another way to formulate this discussion is:

1. Look at all the data in the universe.

2. Choose some to examine (using a non-random procedure).

3. From those, employ a variable selection procedure (the article argues against stepwise selection and somewhat for Lasso).

4. Fit a model to the remaining data.

In reality, there are at least 2 variable selections occurring. In the first variable selection (choosing data to examine from the universe of data), we are choosing those variables based on some procedure that is ultimately grounded in data.

This is a cache22: unless you look at all data that exists, you choose some subset based on all data that exists.
My most recent physics rabbit hole was the black hole hole. They are fascinating.

My favorite is the idea of primordial black holes which formed in the instants after the Big Bang. Many models and theories predict them and they could be an excellent dark matter candidate. The universe could be full of black holes in the asteroid mass range the size of hydrogen atoms.

There is also a hypothesis that the predicted (by many solar system simulations and models) planet nine far beyond Neptune could be a captured primordial black hole in the 1-5 Earth mass range and about the size of a golf ball to a tennis ball.

I really really hope that exists because if it did it would be within probe range. Going and checking out a black hole could allow us to solve physics and develop a complete tested unified theory.

Then there’s spooky shit like:

Apparently kids LOVE the shit out of them... them and Fortnite. An assload of kids paying a couple (or couple dozen (and some Twitch/whatever streamers paying several hundred to a few thousand)) bucks a month adds up.

Based on what little I've seen of it, it all seems like budget Garry's Mod to me... which is something that I bet that kids these days have never heard of.
> People using the wrong word for something doesn't mean the original definition of the word is invalid.

Yeah, it's literally the worse thing you can do. I mean, not for the original definition of literally, but the new definition of literally, which is literally not literally, and actually literally in the dictionary with the definition of "not literally".

Just saying, at some point, the definition everyone uses becomes _the_ definition. And yes, I'm not a fan either.

My problem is that i really hate flex desks and now you don't get your own office anymore.

But my problem is more with my home: I'm now buying a farm and i don't think it will feel the same way as it does at my flat. Its surprisingly hard to 'get out' to not feel annoyed by my flat. But i don't have a good outdoor view only a small window and i do not have a extra office space.

They're a multi-billion dollar company with no connection to Māori culture, and they picked some Māori words for your product because they feel exotic and they'll "help crack the Far East market". The article doesn't talk about the brief incorporating actual Māori culture, just picking up the words because they sound good.

Do you need a "safe way" to make a product for profit using a culture you don't know anything about? There's plenty of room for Māori people and pākehā to make content that actually incorporates the language and the culture. Look at the use of haka in sporting events, for instance.

Why HTML has both <b / I> and <strong / em>?
They may or may not break on Deno or Bun, but most will not work in the browser or if they do they are severely limited in functionality. This library was actually born out of my frustration with trying to generate logs and transport them from the browser. Plus, in my past experience, it was a bit of a pain to use older logging libraries with new SSR frameworks. They also mostly have poor, bolted-on typescript support.
Ask HN: Why am I struggling to find a job?
I'm in the market for an engineering job over the past two months but I'm really struggling at finding one. Basically, my story is:

- Full Stack with 12+ years of experience, good generalist/architect with a some strong points.

- Working remotely in EU timezone.

- Got a nice CV with big names and projects I significantly contributed on.

- Last full time job was 1.5 years ago but I have done plenty of one-off client and personal projects in the meantime I can show off.

I only apply to positions that are fully remote in my timezone and where the profile is at least an 80% match or more. I often tick multiple of the "nice to have" boxes. I put quite some effort in my applications, writing cover letters or filling all boxes in the form with relevant and personalized information, Despite that, most companies reject me right away.

When I make it further, I usually pass coding tests with flying colors. It does happen that I bomb the technical questions due to stress, I can't find the right words to explain how I would solve something but in code it's not an issue. The non-technical calls usually go very well, I'm a likable guy and can hold a good conversation.

So far, I got zero offers. I'm even ready to take a 50% pay cut compared to my previous position. Is the market really that bad or is my profile just undesirable? Or am I doing something wrong? I'm really starting to feel desperate. Any advice or ideas would greatly help.

Ps: This is not self promotion (thus the throwaway/anonymous account), not asking for a job just advice.
Don't go looking for eggs to crack. If you're wrong, it's foolish. If you're right, it's coercive. Either way, it's insulting.

Trust people to figure themselves out in their own time. You did. I did. They will too, whether you like it or not. You can make that easier or harder. What you're doing here makes it harder. I wish you wouldn't.
People would have said the same 100 years ago about forcing food companies to reveal their ingredients list. Yet now it is required in almost every country, and doesn't appear to have been that detrimental to the food industry.
There is also a problem of "stochastic parrot" being constantly used in a pejorative sense as opposed to a neutral term to keep grounded and skeptical.

Of course, it is an overly broad stroke that doesn't quite capture all the nuance of the model but the alternative of "come on guys, just admit the model is thinking" is much worse and has much less to do with reality.

26 seconds per avocado is slow compared to a trained employee at a properly setup work station

Employee training is CRITICAL for this task. Improperly cutting avocados is the is one of the top kitchen related reasons for Emergency Room visits in the USA. (This includes people in their homes)

So I expect Chipotle is looking at worker’s compensation claims as much as wage increases.

Source: I own a coffee house and we serve lots of avocado toast. We are very careful about how we train and handle avocados. The task is easy to make safe, but without training and oversight people strongly tend to do it in a dangerous way.

Also, on the topic of timestamps, some of the formatters do have them on by default. The pretty formatter which is mostly for dev does not because its not as necessary. I hope that helps explain that decision :)

As for emoji's, they are off by default and are really only for dev with the pretty logger. You are right in that you probably would not want them in production. You would probably use a different formatter like "standard" or "json" anyway which doesn't allow them.
Pretty light on technical specifics.

What I find odd about all of this is that while they (finally) split reads from writes, there’s no distinction between hot and cold data. I assume 80% of all tweets are only read 20% of the time, if that. This would heavily influence my architecture regarding caching for example.

RPC is also mentioned, leading to “pull” architecture, when I would assume most of the work to be a “push” pipeline, and work to be embarrassingly parallel. So there’s no real software complexity from interconnected data, just a large amount of it but it’s easily sharded and solved by good hardware? So in summary it doesn’t actually sound interesting from an algorithm perspective. What services are they talking about for RPC, analytics? Do those really need to be so dynamic?

Was anyone else very unimpressed with the video of the kid, water, and playdoh, until the very end? The whole time I was thinking that it's clearly a miscommunication, they are just assessing the kid's understanding of the word "more". If he thought it meant the tallest one, then all his answers would be correct.

But at the end, there is a question about sharing a graham cracker, which I am 100% sure a child of that age understands. They want at least the same amount of graham cracker as the other person. The kid also gets that one wrong, at the cost of his own bottom line. That really sold it.

Are you struggling to say that Cuba will blame AI for allowing the USA to beat them to their post-scarcity goals? Perhaps. American innovation is unquestionably leading the way to communism right now.

If communism ever is realized as more than science fiction, it will almost certainly be because of the USA's efforts. There is no chance Cuba will get us there. Of course, their official claim of seeking post-scarcity is only for pretend to keep up political appearances. The USA, in contrast, is actually trying. You might say ironically, but I'd say that Marx just got it wrong and that capitalism, not socialism, is the most likely path to communism.
> Even so, it is difficult to understate the impact that machine learning is having on many aspects of our lives.

er... you're not really following the logic of the parent comment.

Parent comment asked, should people who can't work from home be paid more?

Which seems like a specific case of the more general "we should pay people more if their jobs are more difficult", so your examples would more accurately be expressed as

"should we pay sewage workers more because they deal with feces" and "should we pay commercial divers more because they are submerged in freezing water for hours each day"
Yes, it has. We spent 4 years working from home with no loss in productivity, and now we're being dragged kicking and screaming back into the office to satisfy the KPIs of some business degree loser and his fragile ego. Offices suck. A lot of people here talk about the commute, but the office itself sucks, too.
Just accept it if they don't verify it anyway.

Make sure to have good KPIs not using the pure number of accounts. I think its absolutly valid to have it like that.

If the documentation is in the code, it's a helpful way for me to remember what I did, and why - so I do it. Although naming is super important, I've found that what I consider to be an obvious name can be perplexing or even confusing to others. Extensive inline documentation really helps here. It's more conversational, you can put in some extra relevant information, even present context and examples. It helps both me, a future me (important), and some poor anonymous future developer responsible for making changes better understand what's going on. This style is also grep-able and amenable to dev tooling intervention.
If the documentation is independent of the code, there are some challenges. "non-attached" documentation is notoriously difficult to maintain. Even with the best will in the world it atrophies over time, becomes unreliable, even contradictory of the code itself. This style of documentation works best for top-level designs, where it's not expected that many future edits are required; and where there is a manager or curator who's willing to pound the table to ensure its maintenance.
