Wouldn't you think that to be able to appreciate good movies, you should at least have seen a bad one too?

You definitely shouldn't waste your time on bad experiences deliberately, but with only positive and rewarding experiences you miss out on growing your own frame of reference and risk becoming blasé or completely risk-averse.

And good experiences can't always be planned or divined by browsing reviews.

Brexit by now should be seen far what it was: a farce of misinformation and lies which should have been halted as the playing field had been contaminated.

Also a great example of why you can't have a single and very important choice being put to the public without said public being used to participate to the government's choices.

I believe Brexit as a question, if ever, should have been asked after at least 3/4 other new referendums on different topics and seeing how the public responded.

(to note: the UK had, so far, only 3 nationwide referendums with Brexit being one of the.)

Maven (and pretty much every other build tool with the exception of bazel) is not capable enough for such a complex build as is required for android, though.

Maven is virtually infinite extensibility via plugins. The difference is that gradle is easier to "hack" and put the build logic in your configuration...

> E.g. maven can often “lose” that something requires a rebuild, and only clean build will produce the correct artifacts.

This is not build shortcoming but rather detection what requires rebuild and what not but in the worst case scenario it rebuilds everything…

> Gradle can always keeps track of tasks correctly.

LOL, from my experience that is not true.

Also, if you have multiple projects using different gradle version this results in multiple daemons running in the background. Besides gradle builds as as slow as maven...

I can't edit, so will post here: please read the note before commenting (it's short), a lot of context is missing in this quick comment.

Apologies, I should've put this phrase in more context. I agree with most of the comments, even the snarky ones, but I didn't express what I meant well enough.
Yeah, that's one point that gets lost in the brouhaha over nuclear cost overruns:

Even the most catastrophic nuclear projects are competitive if not better than the best renewable projects.

Yeah, I know this sounds like frothing-at-the-mouth nuclear fanboiism, but run the numbers!

I think that ifixit misrepresent the actual repairability of the iphone with a 7 out of 10.

It doesn't take into account the economy part.

For instance, Iphone 15 display price 350€, s23 108€.

They are mostly similar, s23 has 120hz OLED, iphone has 60hz OLED. The phone sell for similar price in Europe (800 vs 869€)

The difference is I can buy s23 display from third party manufacturer, apple you can't or you loose feature you paid for like true tone.
It does seem that you need EITHER a very particular combination of things for "Guess culture" to be more effective than "Ask culture", or you need a system that is so irrevocably corrupted by its faulty incentive structures that it can't function as a bureaucracy without lots of plausible deniability.

My boss at this point understands that he's often putting me in a double or triple bind, but is obligated to do so and is never going to get approval for not doing so; My attempts to acquire verbal directives as to priority are met with "figure it out" and a grin. But then he's also extremely forgiving about accountability, doesn't attempt to apply metrics, because he understands that I'm going to be working on it all day anyway.

Sometimes the bureaucratic style, enforced from the top down, is "Ask for unreasonable things in order to attain reasonable outcomes".

I do not work with life-critical systems, where this sort of thing absolutely would not fly.
I see where you are going there, not affirming peoples gender identity can be seen as intolerance.

Let me ask you a question. Would you argue the same for national identity? Would you feel safe in a community where user profiles feature the flag of the country they identify with? Where its normal to name your country with your name? You probably wouldn't want to affirm that, either. It gives "bogus criteria" vibes like from the hacker ethics.

You might now understand how i and some others feel about gender identity. Some people want to have a social life without dealing with that. And this isn't accepted by people who want affirmation for their gender expression, regardless of cis or trans.

For ¹, i meant it in a generic fashion, as python is not the only project where this happens.

> Additionally the wind farm requires backup (CCGT or OCGT), which cost money to sit there.

Or batteries, but yes.

Battery manufacturing capacity is growing fast, but still — figures from recent years as reported by the IAE are [2022: 1720 GWh, 2023: 2500 GWh], but that's global and I'm not sure if demand is currently driven (no pun intended) by vehicles or by grids.

Still, if those batteries need replacement every decade, that global manufacturing supply can backup 150 GW of generation if they each need an independent 1 week backup and can't e.g. just use a broader grid to get e.g. Spanish sun for any of that.

I’ve experienced the situation where my partner gets lower rates than I do on nearly all ride sharing apps. We’ll open the app at the same time, from the same place, heading to the same destination, and mine will be at least 10% higher. We have very similar ratings.
If you use a Rails helper to create a checkbox it puts a hidden field next to it with the "off" value to ensure something always gets POSTed back. I assume other frameworks do the same. If you put a <label> element around those two input fields, it's no longer valid HTML.

This is not a problem for radio buttons, but I suspect a few people have been bitten by this and do it "just to make sure". In the same way, adding a semi-colon at the end of a line of JavaScript is rarely useful but people put them everywhere because they don't know when it's needed exactly (granted that one is a bit tricker to remember).

I loathe them perhaps even more than I loathe the order-kiosks that McDonald's has rolled out. My phone is smaller than the folded napkin, I would rather not have to scroll to examine a menu.

Regardless, a restaurant should think twice about outsourcing this kind of thing to a 3rd party that now has all of your (and your competitors) financials. Even if the API is better vetted, why would you trust this faceless, profit-motivated site with your data?

"Convenience" seems to be the way they market "getting rid of employees" these days — from self-service gas, self-checkout lanes, etc.
A happy, independent employee is a creative employee, and if your business is such a heavy monopoly that it’s in your interest (if not your primary market strategy) to arrest and interrupt the development of competitive alternatives, keeping your employees in cycles of misery (long commutes, oral culture heavy on tribal knowledge and who-you-know) is no longer a “tradeoff” to be balanced, it’s how you keep competition from cropping up.
I know this theory is being put forward but it never made sense to me as 1/ severance is at most a few months of salary, and forcing people out this way will also take months, during which time employees will be much less productive, and /2 this approach will skew the population that leaves to those with better options (ie your high performers.)
They do. Parsing and manipulating it is easier with a LISP and this means the tooling to do so is ubiquitous because anybody can do it.

Yes, my apologies, I should have said "it all looks like function calls".
Exactly. I am full remote and this is the only thing I miss about the office.

The social aspects that have nothing to do with working or productivity. What comes with that though are massive distractions that don't exist remote.

I suspect the productive workers are much more productive remote and the unproductive workers are equally unproductive. The big difference is that the unproductive workers don't have to pretend to be working like they do in the office but at least they aren't such a distraction to the productive workers.

I'm not sure I believe the extremely dramatic claims made about airplane HEPA filters, having seen normal HEPA air purifiers and various dust collection systems, how much space they take, what they cost, and how loud they are, and seen airplanes & the cost-cutting they undertake.

What I heard in 2020, here as in many other areas, appeared to be a combination of lies, exaggerations, and wishful thinking that would allow the jet-set to justify not changing anything they were doing.

Based on chained analysis of R number (some grains of salt there), later variants of COVID were more contagious than measles or just about anything else we deal with using dramatically more intense precautions. There was a lot of cope.
From observation my belief is that in-office work selects for slackers as equally as wfh work does, they just slack differently.

One of our well respected product owners was always so very busy, with back to back meetings when working in office. Then we started WFH and all figured out she was a Costanza - all those meetings were her way of looking important, while everyone routed work around her.

On the other hand, some of our more neurodivergent engineers benefited from the rigidity of sitting at a desk where they are too afraid to pick up their Switch and just game.

You have not worked with enterprise systems, I gather. Putting business logic in the database engine makes sense sometimes for performance reasons. Even better, with stored procedures core business logic gets written once, not multiple times in different client applications implemented in different languages.
Why should they? For this attack?

This is probably the smartest reaction to getting attacked by missiles. Undermine their logistics and eliminate key personal.

Setting up a database, backup processes, object storage, archiving, and especially compliance is a huge upfront cost for a small company.

It is true that you pay for the engineering done by AWS, but you also need to take into account the network effect and compatibility with third-parties.

With this being said, AWS is still very expensive. But AWS being profitable doesn't imply it is profitable for you to run your own infrastructure. The same way it is not profitable for you to run your own shipping company, or your own internet backbone provider.

> Walking over to someone and having a 15 minute conversation is less disrupting to the day than tossing a mention into the void and then having responses dribble in over the next hour and a half.

There’s a balance here, as the 15 minute conversation is often a 45 minute disruption for the target and often the people around them. The other challenge is in my experience the trade off wasn’t “this information cannot be obtained any other way” but more along the lines of “it’s easier to walk over than read the documentation/make any attempt to answer the question on my own”.

Asynchronous shifts the downsides to the person asking, so people tend to have strong opinions if they tend to be on one of those sides a lot more than the other.

Never been to Amsterdam, just two small towns on the other end, towards Germany. My hotel was at the edge of Enschede.

£11Bn is just Dogger Bank A, B, C (which is only 3.6GW total nameplate power, not 8GW)-- but this is in fact where my "~£20Bn total cost" estimate came from :P

Maintenance cost for offshore wind is NOT negligible. This is possibly as high as the reactor maintenance cost already by itself. Then, for a fair comparison, you would also have to add costs for improving grid connectivity and/or local battery storage...

I'm not arguing for more nuclear power btw, just honestly suprised that the expensive reactor is somewhat competitive, still...

> 2. Walking over to someone and having a 15 minute conversation is less disrupting to the day than tossing a mention into the void and then having responses dribble in over the next hour and a half.

I fucking hate this, it's less disrupting for you but the person you asked might be like me and need another 15-30 min to get back into the same focus state they were before your question came through.

If you think it's hard to go do something else while you are waiting for a response to not lose context the same applies to the other side, it can be hard to get back into the context they were pulled from.

At least with async communication I can reply when I get unfocused or finish what I was working on, even just saying "sorry, can't answer you right now" when in a state of deep focus takes me out of that state...

It's extremely exhausting being the person who gets asked multiple times a day about things outside of the current context, switching them to answer your inquiries is not effortless, it just looks that way to you.
Wait, how is this a benefit for you or a deterent for thieves? iPhones get stolen all the time. Leave your iPhone unattended in a public space and I guarantee it will disappear in no time. Where do you see the reduction in iPhone thefts? This feels like a myth that keeps being spread around HN.

“Circuit Cellar” reminded me of something, and led me to find this is the descendant of Steve Ciarcia’s 1980s BYTE magazine column. After several iterations, it looks like Steve sold it to an employee.
Basically anything that can be done in C++ should be written in C3 and enjoy the thought process. I can't stand the current situation with C++ where you start writing your code and if you don't have written down what you want to achieve, you immediately get lost in the `attempting to decipher the cryptic error messages` procedure, only to realize you have lost track of what you were supposed to do in the first place.

Any laptop could be converted into a file server with just two commands?
I started writing code only a couple of months back. Thanks to the course by Al and AI.
I stumbled onto sharing files over a local port when I discovered how Noise cancellation works and I wanted to play the same song on my phone and laptop to check if it would cancel out the sound.
I was sidetracked when I was mindblown that sharing files/folders could be this easy. (You would know if you use Windows/Android).

I was low-key annoyed that everyone could be sharing files this way but we have to rely on uploading the files first through WhatsApp/Slack/Wetransfer/Gdrive and then downloading them??

In the next month or so, I built a small application for anyone to share files directly from their laptop and showed it to editors and photographers who work with large files and they're mindblown as to how easy this is.

I am excited for code to be more accessible and to see what maybe 10-20% of the world's population would build vs only a small percentage of people who currently can build.

Every senior engineer I spoke to said this is the most basic thing and yet I don't see any application that does this??

Am I the Idiot?
> The implication is that all remote work is part time effort for full time pay?

Which wouldn't match my experience. It is exactly the opposite unless you count being present physically somewhere as work.
I'm very fond of short projects like these that provide significant value. A couple hours and 500-something lines is all it took to make some of us happy.

Super cool!
The life hack I've had to resort to for in-office days is wearing large over-ear headphones to signal I'm not available for interrupting. Half the time I don't even have them plugged in. It mostly works, but remote work is still more productive for me.
Spot on. Things are actually MUCH more relaxed in the office, which is why some people don't want it (e.g. people with caregiving responsibility). Everyone I know with children 0-10 wishes there was some more flexibility in scheduling. RTO just steals that from you. It has nothing to do with the amount of work.

~80% of publicly listed multinationals are roughly as greedy as each other, and Apple belongs to that 80%. Then there's 10% in each opposite direction. Pretty standard 80/10/10.

Apple could easily be even greedier if they'd wish, and get away with it. Even accounting for their intentional obstruction to repairs, I bet the active lifespan of the average iPhone and M-series Macbook are longer than the average Samsung flagship, and certainly comparable laptops.

I have no particular attachment to Apple, I currently use only one of their products. But they're just one among the grey cloud of awfulness, nothing special about them when it comes to greed.
> Surely that applies to almost all prisoners?

The slippery slope argument can be made that this power could be abused (and likely is to some degree anyway) and that justifications could be made to apply to just about anyone. But if we assume the best intentions here, then something like this does make sense. There will always be a small percentage of people in any large society who are just going to commit violent and criminal acts over and over again.

I think most prisoners are in the category where they are regular people who made a bad choice due to things like environmental factors, poor judgement, and the like. And there are a few prisoners who are just wired differently - they will never not be dangerous. The trick is correctly sorting between the two.
> If this was true, phones with replaceable batteries would be impossible.

They're thicker to account for a solid plastics barrier between the battery compartment and the display backside to protect the display from the user during battery replacement. Glueing the battery to the phone backplate allows the manufacturer to skip the .5mm of plastic.
I think the point they are making is there are plenty of jobs around for sys admin, but GP is not looking in the right places.
> Cars doing 30mph outpace galloping horses

> Yet a cyclist who has no more protection than a pedestrian is supposed to share a road with 2+tonne vehicles of reinforced steel travelling at speeds

By speed alone, bikes are to pedestrians what cars are to bikes. A pedestrian will walk at 3-5km/h. A bike will be 5-7 times faster than that at 15-35km/h (especially since the advent of e-bikes which ignore assist requirements). Cars will be 1.5-4 times faster at 40-50km/h. Where I live I feel less safe as a pedestrian sharing the sidewalk with a bike lane than I feel on the bike sharing the street with cars (except car doors randomly opened in my path, that's what terrifies me). Not a day passes without a cyclist almost running me over when I cross on a green light, or because they try to squeeze around on the sidewalk at unsafely high speeds.

When it comes to protection, the usual killer is a strong hit on the head. You don't need too much speed to cause a fall. But despite cyclists riding and implicitly hitting the ground at higher speeds, protecting the old melon with a helmet is still seen as optional (embarrassing, unfashionable, uncomfortable). Cyclists take fewer precautions than drivers while exposing themselves to higher risks than pedestrians.

Can't tell you how many times I was asked why am I bothering with the helmet, "I'll get suntan stripes". In my circle of friends the only other one wearing a helmet for city riding (everyone wears it on the long roadbike rides) is one who has a lot of kids as is terrified of leaving them without a father. Everyone else rides as if the epitaph of "The other guy should have paid more attention" will give anyone consolation.
> Do we count all of the time gathered around the watercooler as "work"?

Simply being present physically counts as work now I guess.
Plenty of MSP work though
Reliability, and depending on your work load the ability to use it commercially. Your house isn't going to have any meaningful reliability for either the network or power.

Your house will have one connection to the outside work, the DC should have multiple for redundancy (In case a digger goes through your network connection), and same for power any good DC will have their own redundant power supplies (Batteries, generators etc).

And if your server is serving a lot of traffic, your consumer home ISP might not be too happy about it. Theres a reason they split plans between home and business.
