I worked with a group that basically elixir-fide typescript for the frontend and ruby for the backend.

It was insanely slow and unintrospectable, to get elixir syntax for ruby they had to abuse blocks horribly, refactoring was decent for already existing components but as an org they had the slowest ruby "new feature" development I've ever seen in 20 years.

Don't throw away all your debugging and IDE tools just to shoehorn a different language paradigm into your existing codebase, if you can prove to me that you have put co-commiserate effort into the tooling and can actually demonstrate this fact practically then you are good but probably still wasting time and should switch to elixir/f# or whatever.

This group hired me because I was the only outside senior level person that was a rubyist and an elixir guy with a lot of FP work in the data space willing to give them a shot (fp is good, it's a good tool but not a panacea, fp is borderline an academic cargo cult nerd snipe in how people proselytize and get into it imo) and I was at a career point where I was doing a lot of exploratory stuff so I found them intriguing since they did have a real product in prod.

In my interview process, I didn't vet their actual dev process nearly enough, total waste of time for people who want to do product development with any velocity.
That's an interesting thought, I haven't picked up on it but you're right. Most of my associations with powerhouse are from trails or ares that used to have powerhouses and now have empty buildings, ruins or traces left over. I do think about powerhouses in the context of dams but that is likely leftover from an earlier time.

I'm currently employed in a US based company as a Senior Software Engineer. My main expertise is Backend development. Nonetheless the product I work on has deep relations with the data ecosystem and machine learning and the current LLM hype. I'm therefore quite familiar with pandas, arrow and the whole Python data ecosystem (you name it). All of our deployments are handled in K8s (managed by AWS) and our architecture depends quite heavily on AWS therefore I have deep knowledge on some of its services: SQS, SNS, RDS to name a few.

I consider myself a Python specialist having 8+ years of experience with the language and all the quirks around it. I'm open to full time positions as well as part-time ones. I'm open to learn a new language as well.
It kind of just shifted distinctions.

Powerhouse is a common way to describe an athlete, a high performance engine, or a very strong stock buy -- it has just moved away from the infrastructural uses.
#3 it ultimately got more inconvenient than pirating, just like 20 years ago. the streaming apps simply matched parity with the early 2000s piracy experience and then surpassed it, but then the content licensing system made it lose its advantages
In fact when they continue with this 4B movement no one should necessarily oppose them, let them work and pay taxes which will be used to build the infrastructure for the next generation. Anti-natalist movements cannot last more than three generations

Maybe you're feeling relief from the other ingredients like if there's also an inflammatory or caffeine, etc. bundled with the pill.
You don't need to grow anything. You can just eat the plants. Just be careful in how you decide what plants to eat.

My cats eat plants that somehow seem to grow out of concrete. I have no idea how a plant can even grow out of concrete at all, but it totally works.

It probably has some minerals in it. Is it very nutritious? Probably not.

You can also just eat stinging nettle. Make soup out of it. Free meal. One of the most nutritious plants that is available in almost all western countries, and probably grows outside of western countries too.

It's... I dunno why people don't trust nature or the wisdom in their bodies anymore.

Another example. Eat an apple. You're fine.

Dig seeds out of the apple, crush them and turn them into a paste. If you eat that paste, you will die.

Yet we eat apples all day. We trust apples. If something looks, feels and smells edible? Probably fine. Maybe ask a few locals like some birds, cats and dogs because they know nature a little bit better than you do probably.

If you eat in the same way that Werner Herzog makes films, you'll be invincible.
> mitochondria were thought to just be a component of the cell.

We know that they behave like bacteria for almost as long as we know that they exist.

Compile times are Rust's single biggest weakness. A lot of work is going into speeding up the compiler, but right now, the biggest wins in compile time reduction come from reorganizing your own code and eliminating overly generic dependencies, particularly those that introduce loads of transitive dependencies for building procedural macros. Clap and Serde are major offenders here. For many projects, eliminating such dependencies can speed up build times by a factor of 10 (and similarly reduce disk usage). Depending on your circumstances, it can be worth the effort.
Ask HN: What are you using for project management?

Organelles are alive too. All active biological systems are alive.

Mitochondria have for many generations now been known to have their own DNA and replicate on their own. So I’m not sure what new distinction is being drawn?
Application notes as in the examples on datasheets?

Cool, I do have the ARRL handbook (100th edition). I also got the 50th (1973) and 66th (1989) editions partly out of curiosity (for the 1973 one) and because someone told me a late 80's edition might be good for info about building stuff.
You're not wrong. But over the enormous amount of time since, the "duplicate" organelles and systems needed for independent living were steadily carved out of mitochondria. While they do have their own DNA and replication process, the DNA is basically limited to specific things they need to perform their energy-generation functions and the replication happens when triggered by host cell replication.

It's a bit like if you took the heart from an animal and transplanted it into a human: is it meaningful to call it independently alive? Maybe, it depends what question you're trying to ask.
“But the sufficiently nefarious might reboot or wipe their phone remotely,” is a component in the black letter law of the fourth amendment and exigency. Kind of interesting that now the handset manufacturer might be automatically doing that for all of us.
Aren't there apps that they like? "IT" people make TikTok, Instagram, Roblox, Discord, WhatApp, Fortnite, every iPhone app, every website... if they name any particular app that they enjoy, you can kinda go over how it's made (briefly).

As for career opportunities, eh, IMO, no need to oversell it, right? We're just a field like any other, and I think the glory days of the 90s and 2000s are way past us. Nowadays it's mostly a few gigantic companies doing the innovation and everyone is mostly just a tiny cog in a big, uncaring machine... it often IS boring, repetitive work. Sure, software gave us cat videos and social media and AI text. That's cool, I guess, but then there's the terrible reality of the exploitative gaming industry, the leetcode grind, the Scrumfail meetings, the endless Javascript framework treadmill... most of it is isn't anything awe-inspiring, just normal, boring work.

Unless you're at the top of the field doing R&D, software isn't some super special thing every kid MUST go into. If they show an interest in it, sure, why not, but if not... there's so much else they can do instead that's better for them and for the world. Paint an honest picture for them so they can decide for themselves if it's right, rather than being lured into something that ultimately disappoints and burns them out.

Each half of the cell keeps the mitocondria that were living inside it.

A number of those are security theater, and some of them aren't even for security at all. Also, the secure empty trash feature was actually removed from macOS, and I'm not sure what you mean by the "associated security improvements" of APFS.

But it's not even a question of whether security has a "finish line". The question is whether a specific security feature works on not, and some of them just don't work.
Outlook probably does send it to O365 server though, ('some obscure SMTP plugin' GP mentions) so it can guarantee sending it.

If you tell Thunderbird to send it later and then quit the client (turn computer off, whatever) - what do you expect to happen? Probably they would not implement anything other than 'it sends when next online after the send later timestamp', but that probably would catch people out and generate a lot of noise in bug reports.
I'm not really convinced of the "economy" argument. It's easy to make, but there is no reason to think that the other guy is actually any better. They may not be thrilled with where they are now, but they were not noticeably better off four years ago.

Some are worse off; some are better; many are about the same. It's just not sufficient to explain electing a literal criminal.

I'm sure it figures in somewhere, but I don't think it's anywhere near enough to explain the situation.
> I completely disagree. Not every product is made for every person. If you don't like it, use a different product.

These are large systems with their own ecosystems within them. When a project does this kind of thing it destroys a lot of the value that other developers are bringing for no gain.

Honestly, it appears as laziness sometimes like taking the easy route of keeping your verbose C codebase from growing more hair. Other developers are quite happy and accommodating to add experimental features gated behind a flag or option and still maintain a cohesive and polished experience.
Curious person here with a warning: don’t smell 30% vinegar. You are missing nothing gods by skipping this. I promise.
Really deserves more attention from the HN community. The article author analogizes this to patent trolling on Nintendo's part and, from the patent descriptions, I'm inclined to agree. There's plenty prior art in gaming that one would hope ought to invalidate the patents easily.
What part do you hope/expect to be a joke there?
As a childless American in his 60s on the edge of retirement, this article is eye opening. While it seems to me that Americans of the same age are not going through the same education, job, and marriage stresses, they are going through different job and relationship stresses. Ones that are very different from my generation. Honestly I wouldn't want to be in either situation.
Why? Do you believe it made any dent in meth manufacturing what so ever? It's just drug war theatre.
This wave of propaganda is super weird, they were so excited (and confident) to bring in the first female president less than 3 days ago... then all of a sudden all this reactionary news comes out about "the consequences" before anyone could possibly react to anything yet
Any time I read a mitochondria post like this, I strongly recommend that others who find the topic interesting check out Power, Sex, and Suicide by Nick Lane.

Excellent book!
And that's what I'm getting at, and where I'd like the community to improve in discussions. In what context do you need it, and how much, and what would your alternatives be?

Because, the amount of different contexts linux is being used in, and the different threat levels are vastly different.

For example, I'm aware that the industrial and embedded world does wild things at times. Because it's hard to establish redundancy and replacability there. Because the system is attached to a $750k lathe. However, that thing is not networked, and physical access is controlled by people with guns. Do whatever you need to keep this thing running, as horrid as it may be.

On the other hand, I have a fleet of loadbalancers and their job is to accept traffic from all criminals in this world, and then some legitimate users as well. I can reset them to base linux and have them back operational in 10 minutes or so. Things modifying loaded code in memory outside of some very specific situations like service startup on these systems is terrifying and entirely not necessary.

So I would be very happy with a switch to turn that off, even though some other use cases wouldn't need it or wouldn't be able to use it at all.

Ex-Automattic Senior Software Engineer:

As a Senior Software Engineer, I possess extensive expertise across the full software development lifecycle, with a strong focus on front-end technologies like React, Redux, and TypeScript. At Automattic, I significantly expanded my scope beyond front-end development; I spearheaded DevOps initiatives, managed continuous integration processes using GitHub Actions, and contributed to backend development with PHP. My role involved optimizing workflows through automation and enhancing product scalability and maintainability.

Recognized for my problem-solving capabilities and technical versatility, I excel in adapting new technologies to address complex challenges. My career reflects a robust ability to lead projects, triage issues, and innovate across both front-end and backend development, making me a valuable asset in any software engineering team.

Collective action hurts everybody, but that's kind of the point: "I can live with the sacrifice for as long as it takes. Can you?"

My only worry is if this ends up playing into the extremists' hands. Still, one must do what one can when fighting for one's rights.

I find the Sudafed PE is useless but the Alka Seltzer with phenylephrine works and works really fast.
While I see your point (0 > 1, by definition) I think this sends the wrong message.

You need several hours of relatively strenuous exercise per week. Walking around the neighborhood, or your house, or whatever has diminishing returns. You need to steadily increase load to continue to see results. The body is incredibly good at adapting. People will read your statement and walk around their house twice, sit down, and not move for the rest of the night.
Sounds like, if the cops take your iPhone, you should immediately deactivate your eSIM or cancel your service.
Seems my time would be better spent becoming CEO. Why become a poor programmer? I may as well flip burgers at McDonalds if pay is of no concern.
The documentation is quite clear on this point:

> The returned iterator will panic during iteration if any argument to the process is not valid Unicode. If this is not desired, use the args_os function instead.

std::env::args_os encodes paths as an OsString, which is allowed to contain invalid Unicode. You can then perform your own Unicode validation as needed, instead of the "ASAP" behavior of std::env::args.

> Security has no finish line, unfortunately.

Unfortunately? Unfortunately!

I beg your pardon. Apple's service revenue is very fortunate for the neverending excuse of security. Want third-party payment processors? It's not that it would upset our revenue stream, it's just too insecure. You want to sideload with the flick of a switch? It's not like we already offer that feature to other users of our products and paying developers, it's not secure enough to attempt. Want an open bootloader for your iPhone like those Apple Silicon Macs? It's not that Apple can't do it, it's just that they claim it's not secure enough.

The real kicker? None of us have a privileged enough view of the ecosystem to even know if Apple is right or not. The fact that security has no finish line should be carefully construed as not to excuse companies that move the goalposts of security for petty means. Apple is grateful that customers will accept "security" as a carte-blanche answer to completely unrelated topics.

This 4B movement is also patently misogynistic in that it assume the only way for women to bring about change is through saying no to dating, marriage, sex and childbirth. Woman are intelligent beings is this the only option available to them? really? Is this the only way they can be heard? No.
As I already replied to another user, I know that this exists, and it doesn't have anything to do with my point. So sadly your suggestion doesn't help in any way.
> An 8051 or Z80 would be fine

May be. Problem is by definition of G-code, which is much more than 8bit (as I remember, there somewhere between 12bit and 18bit if consider just integer numbers, but for example diagonal lines and arcs are calculated with floats). Yes, I know, digital 8bit CPU could calculate 32bit floats or even 64bit floats, but it is slow and need additional RAM. All these calculations are much easier to do on 32bit computer.

> some external chips for PWM

Additional chips are bad for economy by definition - because size of PCB grow and because additional pins mean additional costs also.
That is why first designs was dumb, without any controller at all and driven by computer - to avoid additional chips.

In modern designs microcontrollers used for convenience - so now printer could run without working computer (for example from file on flash).
Not Paul, but DID is a stable ID over time, whereas dns is not. This lets you change your handle without the network losing track of who you are. I was @steveklabnik.bsky.social before I was @steveklabnik.com, and when I made the switch, all of my previous stuff was still there.

This is a fun party trick in some sense, but also a real meaningful feature in another. If I ever decide to move from steveklabnik.com to steve.klabnik.com, a thing I have been considering for a few years, my stuff on @proto/Bluesky will be one of the only services that doesn't have the issue that's kept me from pulling the trigger: updating the entire world that that's where I am now.
>I still can't support changing the electoral college. A few cities deciding the election for everyone feels horribly unfair, and undemocratic.

... unless those cities are in Iowa, Vermont, and Nevada, in which case you're fine with it?

I mean, the EC is so unfair and undemocratic that Presidential candidates avoid states entirely where the political calculus says they simply won't matter. And it's ridiculous to assume that when a candidate does show up in a diner in Iowa to order whatever meal their campaign staff says will most appeal to the locals, work on an assembly line, or whatever, that they actually care about anything those voters have to say.

They don't have to care about the voters, they just have to care about the numbers. Remove the EC and the voters actually matter.
Given the prevalence of P2P meth and apparent inability of governments to do anything about it, this does not seem like a rational position to me. If there was any reason to believe that large scale production will ever be substantially curbed, there might be a case for it.
Now that you mention it, it never occurred to me that Snake's radio transmitted video as well. "Did you like my new sunglasses?"

If you could reserve a small portion of the radio bandwidth to broadcast a thumbnail + low bandwidth compressed representation of the face movements, you could technically have something similar without encoding any video (think low res, eye + mouth movements).
Oh sorry, I misunderstood you

Responsible disclosure is immediate public disclosure with no embargoes. Embargoes are how we as users are absorbing the costs of poor security practices. If the culture was a no-warning publish culture, I would expect feature iteration and API breaks to slow down to more conservative levels as bikeshedding that stuff dwindles.

Punish fast software development iteration with public embarrassment and lost users who got hosed by the vulnerability. If Apple or whoever start dicking around and not paying bounties, release it... or better yet: sell it on the darknet; you have got to be paid for your good work, and NSA/NSO are going to need more 0-day vulnerabilities with WWIII underway!
Distinction: I am a millennial, and actually had to go look up just now what a "powerhouse" is. I am familiar with the term in its metaphorical sense, but was heretofore unacquainted with the literal definition. "Power plant" or "power station" would, yes, be more immediately understood by my generation. The phrase "Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" would read to modern children like saying "The mitochondrion is the rock star of the cell."

These things do happen. I was in my 30s before I learned what the "firewall" of a car was...
For sure. If you just want to host your own data, you can do that. A PDS for you and maybe some friends is very small and cheap to host.

While Covid may have been bad for people on the whole, for myself and other introverts I know it was great. More remote work, less pressure for socializing in person, just chilling out with people I care about. Personally I'd love more variety of digital spaces to interact with other people, particularly alternatives for smaller communities, like HN, but with more variety.

What I mean to say by saying this is that while I understand your use of the royal "we", I don't think you are speaking for everyone. The "things we know work" don't work for everyone and Covid was a welcome break for some of us. And while I wouldn't inflict Covid conditions on everyone just so I could be happier, unfortunately, the inverse doesn't seem to be true. Tyranny of the majority, as usual.
