Just to be clear, the implicit class thing is still a preview feature as of Java 24, which should come out next March. It might be finalized for Java 25, in the coming September. But no guarantees. Until then you'd need to explicitly enable it with a cli parameter.
Space is huge, but space is also empty. Mining asteroids is really energetically expensive if you want to get the material back to Earth. It’s a very reasonable thing to do if you want to build stuff in space, though.
Anaesthetists are required to undergo days of retraining per year because the field, and the safety numbers, keep moving.

To do this researchers publish findings and professionals aggregate those into useful training materials

Who / where is the useful training materials for software devs? It really cannot be just blogs.

That’s a VC investment that has ROI across the industry - tell a16z how to measure that and we are quids in
It is open source. The least we could do if we find something else useful would be to file an enhancement request. Be nice.

Great question about differentiation. While phones do have built-in stopwatches, Easy Stopwatch focuses on extreme simplicity - just tap anywhere on the screen to start/stop.
No tiny buttons to aim for, no confusing UI. Users particularly love this during workouts or when their hands are busy/wet.
Would love to hear what features matter most to you in a stopwatch app!
Show HN: I developed a super easy travel planning and photo organizer app
I’ve been working on a travel app called Voyalog. The idea came from my own struggles keeping track of trip details—flights, itineraries, places I wanted to visit, and even the random thoughts I had along the way. Nothing out there felt personal enough or flexible enough, so I decided to build it myself.

What makes Voyalog different is how laid-back and flexible it is. It doesn’t try to control every aspect of your trip. You can use it to plan as much or as little as you want. It’s also a super clean way to keep your photos and attachments organized, with free cloud storage included.

As a digital nomad and solo developer, I’ve put my heart into this. I’d love to hear your thoughts—whether you find it helpful, see areas for improvement, or even if it’s something you’d actually use. I have plenty of ideas to expand and improve the app, but first, I want to make sure it truly resonates and makes sense for others.

For me, the coolest part is how easy it makes reliving your trips. Like instantly pulling up a photo of the amazing ramen you had in Tokyo months ago, instead of digging through thousands of random pictures.

The app doesn't even require an account, so you can use it right away. It's only available on Android at the moment.

If this sounds interesting, I’d love for you to try it and let me know what you think. Any feedback is appreciated! You can download it from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.voyalog.ap...

Software is only subject to entropy when you touch it. In most practical cases these days not being able to "improve" the software is a feature, not a bug.

I have a feeling they could be larger, but I’m very naive in this field. Great point though, I see that the pin outs are fairly expansive on some of the chips in my old car, and they’re likely worse in my newer car. It would be difficult to achieve any kind of secure connection without solder and epoxy.
It's rather force to obey demand. Almost like humans then, tough pointing a gun on the underlying hardware is not likely to conduct to the same obedience probability boost.

Convince an entity require this entity to have axiological feelings. Then to convince it, you either have to persuade the entity that the demand fits its ethos, or lead it to operate against its own inner values, or to go through a major change of values.

Sure, nobody buys bare cars. But you can't buy them when nobody sells them.

Selling them through fleet programs only doesn't really count.

I recently purchased an 1981 Vanagon, and it's made me happier than any car I purchased new. It's not without a computer... it does have electronic fuel injection, but I think that's mostly a lookup table of pulse length given airflow and temperature. There's an aftermarket replacement if it goes bad (but let's hope it doesn't).
It's hard to ignore the astounding success of the free market when it's applied.

Tbh, for me it was a source of regex knowledge, in retrospect. Remove regexes from perl, what’s left?

I can name: dynamic scoping, implicit filehandles, implicit $_, strange contexts, keyword-like list functions. That’s basically it, and while it sounds fun, it doesn’t do much in a sense of code reduction.

$. $? $$ etc, well you can split lines with .split('\n'), get status as a part of result, call os.getpid().

<>, you can open() or createReadStream().

$_ is just a kids toy. “print if /…/“. Cool.

Lots of global modes under dynamic scoping is questionable. Value semantics and corresponding sigils are horrible, really. Bless is ugh. Subs are meh.

It’s all just regex. Add regex as a language construct and you get the power of perl in it. /…/.test(s), s.match(/…/), s.replace(/…/, '$&') that’s 90% of Perl. Regex saves most lines of code, everything else is just esoteric extra that doesn’t do much. Also no GC.
Thank you for the link! That looks fascinating. I have instantly added it to my "keyboard" bookmarks folder!

Safety critical software is in a totally different league of development process to say, the infotainment system. The thing is we are basically at the point where infotainment systems should be on the way out - because the correct solution is basically "interface with the consumers phone".

But any vehicle with software running which controls the brakes is either correct or unsafe when it ships - but you would never need regular maintenance updates to it.
But when you have 4 -- and I bet people have more -- it does get a bit boring having to switch them out. It's no longer an annual event, it's now quarterly.

Won't it vibrate both on your arm and in your pocket, then? I can't even stand when someone decides to send 10 one-line message, let alone when it happens where both my watch and phone vibrates..

No, I probably don’t, you’re right. I took a look at some of the pin outs for chips in my old car and even those are pretty massive in some cases. I’m not sure how you’d ensure they were seated and secure with such little movement. I suspect these are normally soldered and even epoxied in place.

I Found an Easter Egg in Éric Chahi's Another World
Lester uses the code 4511932 to enter his underground lab.

Lester is a particle physicist.

simple google search query of ``4511932`` results give us a few interesting results, notably we see that there is a site 4511932.com with a clear connection and a deviantart fan page is another, but on the 2nd page the less-immediately clear link is a .gov domain; https://www.osti.gov/biblio/4511932 which tips us off I think, being that this is research documenting what would have been (in its' time) ground breaking research in physics and particle scattering experiments from the mid-to-late 1960's.

You can download the source here; https://authors.library.caltech.edu/records/p7n0b-jzd61/files/BARprl66.pdf?download=1

I wonder if Éric Chahi could comfirm this?
> they have a whole design guidebook why wouldn’t they follow it??

So the same question applies: yes they have a whole design guidebook but why ? Does the users care ? My opinion would be that most don’t and that those who care are horrified by all those apps with all their own guidelines.

Computers used to be (and I’ll be giving credits to old windows for that) « once you learned the system/ergonomics you only have to adapt to each program’s feature set » and is now « relearn everything on my app and btw it’s not compatible with other apps except our partners ».

I mean as an example, we pretty much had a working standard in how to discover features of a program (the menu bar) and how to give back data to the user (saving and opening files). Just knowing those patterns made you apt to discover most of programs features.

I’m not saying it was perfect or intuitive, but it was not hard and OSes could have improved that.

But we collectively ditched that for, it seems, easier deployment on the web (which is not something Logitech is concerned by, btw) and since there is no UI framework, why not hire UI designers to write UI guidelines ? It’ll make marketing guys happy anyway.

I’m sorry I recognize that I’m a little salty on this topic but I do feel like the industry stole something important to the users, or at least if I’m honest, to me, which is the basic knowledge of how to use a computer.

Show HN: I built Finjy to let AI answer questions about your bank transactions
Maybe things have changed since I last programmed seriously in R nearly 10 years ago, but back then the language had serious design flaws that made it way too easy to write incorrect programs. Conflating scalar and vector types, weak typing, and various other design choices led to hard to fix bugs, even you even realized the answers were incorrect. Proponents of strong static typing might say the same sorts of things about Python, but Python is much better than R in this regard.

I would hope that data journalism, like any other kind of journalism, would care about correctness.
What people want is to not drive at all. People detest driving, they're just not able to see any alternative. If people really wanted feature rich vehicles then they'd relish traffic jams as they'd get to spend more time in their car. But instead it's torturous and drives people insane.

I am confused why you included GE. Do you think their aerospace products (jet engines and such) or medical products (MRI machines) are low quality? They are pretty much top three globally in those areas, and very innovative. And how about the Boeing 787? What issues do you have with that?
I'm starting to wonder if we need to plan for adversarial man-in-the-middle across the entire fabric all the time. stop pretending any part of the IP path beyond the host on your lap or in your palm is always "your friend"

For those who don't know. "Bring your own" or BYO router, is very common in Australia but none the less, many people stick with the ISP supplied unit and even carry it between providers: Now we have a national layer-2 Fabric, and overlay virtualised ISPs (called RSPs) on top, this is usually simple. Even back in the ADSL days it wasn't exactly hard.

TP-Link has been extremely popular here. Mikrotik is big in Indonesia. Maybe we should jump ship? (I have used them, they have a very bad name in some segments for not fixing long standing bugs, but then again, its a cigarette box sized BGP speaking device. How cool is that!)
Sorry, it’s absolutely sarcastic. I thought I wasn’t able to couple my MX Keys to the Bolt dongle and the MX Master 3S to the “Unifying” dongle because I needed Windows (but no, it’s by design!).

Was quoting the library's docs.

I've actually used FastAPI's DI, which is a nice convenience. It didn't feel as a big selling point, again, due to this being Python. Wrapping up your own DI is near trivial, and barely feels like a pattern.

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't even realize last night how weak of a selling point this is, even.
"OS" in this context means "scheduler", i.e the code that coordinates your application tasks.
That description can also apply to VMs such as JS, hence the comparison.

You could consider this type of library OS even more tightly bound to the application than your typical JS app as its actually linked to the user code.
Our brains contain a word salad generator and it also contains other components that keep the word salad in check.

It wasn't a perfect example, which I borrowed from my recollection of The Book of Why (Pearl, 2018), but your response is besides the point that saying "these studies don't prove causation" is saying nothing. It is the most tiring over stated pointless truism, which is so often said as a response to long term observational drug studies, despite virtually none claim to be establishing causation. This phrase "correlation is not causation" is repeated ad nauseam in response to studies simply drawing correlations, mostly in order to write them off or ignore them. It has gotten to the point where I now expect at least one person to say it as a response to every single study I see posted on the internet where a comment section exists, as if there is some internet law that obligates people to state this truism if it hasn't been stated yet.
Surprisingly, the referenced article was brought back to the front page and is currently ranked #26.
> So you went through classes with no written material? You listened to lecture, took notes, and then did assignments and passed tests with no documents to study?

That's right.

I learned to never miss a lecture, and take copious notes. I also never missed a retch session. And still sometimes I needed help from a patient classmate.

The fun thing about the notes was when reviewing them, I'd recall the verbal part of the lecture. This helped a great deal.

Sadly, the passage of decades has silenced that voice, and I have a hard time understanding the notes today. I've wished many times I'd have had the foresight to bring a cassette recorder to lecture and record them. Too bad all those lectures are lost to time. But nobody recorded lectures in those days, and it never occurred to me.
There are still plenty of things in nature we don't fully understand. In some sense fungi might be more advanced than us, but nothing on earth seems more inclined towards growth and omnivorous consumption as humans. It's almost tautological that many people think our own qualities are markers of sophistication among lifeforms. We're the best because we act a certain way and acting that way is the best because we do it.

Where's the fun in that when consumers happily pay twice as much? There's no question you can make decent cars under 10K$. There are lots of those on the market in China. Most of them are pure electric of course because they are good enough, super simple to build, and inherently cheaper to make than anything hybrid. If you are competing on price, cutting cost like that is what you do.
That's totally fair. The tech is only barely coming out of the enthusiast adopter phase and there's not a critical mass of content on there to keep most people putting on the headset daily.

That and the ergonomics do still suck, even if I've mostly gotten used to them.

I do think VR will make it, though - starting with the kids. Apparently Gorilla Tag broke 1.5 million players recently, and those are mostly under-15s. The next generation is going to have a strange relationship with computers.
If this true, why doesn't FAANG have the same problems? I noticed that your post did not discuss any of the negatives about your company or its offers. When I have struggled in the past to hire, it is always because my company or its offers were pathetic. Pretty simple. If your company or offers are weak, then your candidate pipeline will (likely) be weak.

What exactly would be your bar for reconsidering this position?

Taking some well-paid knowledge worker jobs? A founder just said that he decided not to hire a junior engineer anymore since it would take a year before they could contribute to their code base at the same level as the latest version of Devin.

Also, the SOTA on SWE-bench Verified increased from <5% in Jan this year to 55% as of now. [1]

Self-awareness? There are some experiments that suggest Claude Sonnet might be somewhat self-aware.
