The problem with seeing it as a test of response is that the test changes future responses. Where previously it might have been possible to do a surprise attack on cables, govts will now (hopefully) be looking at ships maneuvering near by with more suspicion.
I work in public health so our outages are critical to safe treatment of our patients.

We have the concept of a Major Incident/Major Event (because the term Code Yellow is already co-opted to mean any administrative fault across a hospital which might impact the flow of patients).

These are all-hands-on-deck moments. They may be called by any member of staff who discovers an event which will impact our service, though it will be ratified by a Major Incident Manager (MIM). While the event is underway the MIM is God; except when it affects staff welfare. If a member of staff says that they cannot attend a war room for whatever reason, then the MIM will move onto the next person up the chain, even calling in directors if they feel it is required.

What is being described above is tech-bro shittery. Calling a major event because you haven't hit a sales target should keep the C-Suite up at night, sure, but calling in techs and devs and 'sacrificing the L and the B in Work Life Balance'? The C-Suite should be making the strategic decisions to reverse the decline, not suddenly drag everyone into a meeting to fix their lack of foresight and working towards an end that the average tech/dev cannot influence.
I don’t think we’re arguing about the same thing anymore, if we ever were
That's how all frameworks work though. This is not a criticism of Spring Boot. You are criticizing the use of a framework at all.

Some people hate to write the same basic things over and over. That's where a framework excels. Write only the glue/logic you need to make your app work.

The way you have described your experience with Spring Boot seems to imply you did not take the time to learn it at all, and therefore its' unsurprising to us you had a hard time of it.
Isn't it also a problem for breeders? I would think pollenation could cause issues for indoor as well as outdoor crops, especially specific strain breeding and understanding pollenation patterns would help mitigate some of that.
I think the ambiguity of the first two amendments -- heck, the Fourth has been gutted almost to non-existence by all the exceptions the Supreme Court has made over the years -- is the desire of certain people, particularly ones who are in favor of government control, to control their fellow citizens in ways those citizens may very well be unhappy about.

This isn't just a Constitution problem, either: it happens with all law, to one degree or another, and in all levels of government, from HOAs all the way up to the Federal and even International ones.

The issue isn't the wording, though -- it's humans being human, for better and for worse. While we can try to mitigate the problems arising from humans being human, there's only so much we can do!
Even in established tech companies, most software 'engineering' is tedious grunt work. It's hard to grow copying and pasting YAML files all day.

If you want to build cool stuff, an early startup is really the only place you have a reliable chance of finding that sort of work.

You might have to go to work for the paycheck and find that fulfilment in side projects.

I don't know, I am not Apple, and I don't even have AirTags. What do you think would happen, it seems you already have an idea?
The point is that you can save the file and then use it offline. The exact set of clicks to make that happen are completely irrelevant to the core point.
> You could ask people what they mean when they say they "hear" thoughts, but since you've already dismissed their statements as "nonsensical" I guess you don't see the point in talking to people to understand how they think!

Presumably the question would be "If you claim to 'hear' your thoughts, why do you choose the word 'hear'?" It doesn't make much sense to ask people if they experience something I consider nonsensical.
The problem is that in some areas there are both cables and ships in such a high concentration that it's impossible to police.

That is cool and different. Glancing at the bottom several rows I tend to agree with the classification, as a trained musician. I wonder though, what is (the mathematical principle) behind it that is causing the brightness/ darkness in the sound of these chords?

Don't say "dissonance" (or explain what dissonance is)- that much is obvious, looking for something a bit more detailed, e.g. why 1-2-5 sounds brighter than 1-4-5

The question I responded to was 'how you use Go in the small', not a comparison to the post.

As I mentioned, yes, it's verbose, but simple and worth the effort and peace of mind. My primary language is JS, I've written a fair share of shell and Ruby but would still choose go a lot of the time, just because it doesn't pull in any extra complexity.
Nice solution, but the bigger problem is how AirTags can basically be turned off, which makes it poor for many use cases.

Of course, I get it from Apple's perspective, they dont want AirTags to be used to tail others. However, that precludes it from being used for theft tracking.

For example, I use an AirTag on my bicycle. If someone steals the bicycle, they are literally informed "an air tag is following you" https://support.apple.com/en-us/119874

There are a lot of things I'd love to put long-term AirTags on (luggage, snow-blower, childrens' backpacks) but if theft isnt really deterred, then the case for a bulkier AirTag is quite reduced.
I think the problem is in going for a Computer Science degree when you really meant to study Software Engineering.
> It is alluring because it allows for existing plans to be deprioritized, removes any/all ambiguity around what is most important at the moment, and strongly encourages the team to sacrifice the ‘L’ and ‘B’ from Work-Life-Balance.

When I read this, I understand that when management fails, and wants something to be get done, because reasons, they can just pull all stops and declare temporary slavery until the problem is solved.

This should be normally a "once in a decade" event. Not "once in a year" instrument. Being proud of removing "life" and "balance" from employees' reality reads like the worst power trip ever.

I worked in similar environments. Never again. We have our "code yellow"s in my current job, but we know when it's going to come, and prepare ourselves and our lives. Go through it, pat ourselves on the back for the good job, learn our lessons for the things we fail along the way, and continue our journey.
API stands for "application programming interface". E.g. a graphics card driver can provide an API for an application (a web browser, a game, a calculator app) to draw an image on your screen... should it speak HTTP to do that?
The developer is rediscovering the concept of a GUI library. The modern variant is the mouse-driven GUI developed by Xerox in the 1970s (and later commercialized by them as Xerox Star) which Jobs famously copied to create Apple’s Lisa, and Gates famously mimicked to create MS Windows. Since they determine the look and feel of a platform and their design determines the ease with which developers can create apps for the platform, GUI frameworks became pivotal to platform wars across all sorts of products, from OSs to browsers, graphics engines and anything else whose success was determined largely by the interface developer experience.

No amount of intelligence or understanding of battery chemistry will make batteries any less dismal and disappointing to the consumer.

Very excited about this.

It represents the culmination of ~2 years of development by the Home Assistant team. They announced 2023 as the "Year of Voice" back in December 2022 [1] and during 2023 they made a lot of leaps forwards in the software, but there has been a lack of off-the-shelf hardware options.

Ask HN: How do I have more fun building?
I recently left my job and I thought I would have more fun building projects. The problem is that I have had a really hard time engaging in my personal projects the way I used to. I love working on the cutting edge and I’ve really enjoyed doing Andrej Karpathy’s zero to hero course, but have had a hard time doing much beyond it. I used to enjoy arduino projects and the community around those, but even there it seems like fewer people are really having fun.

Greatly appreciate the stoke from everyone here. Hoping for some guidance.
I’ve experienced a Code Yellow myself and can definitely see its value. In large companies, you sometimes need that top-to-bottom rallying cry to overcome the bystander effect when big problems emerge.

After ChatGPT’s initial release, Google famously sounded the alarm and brought Larry Page back into the mix, showing how this kind of all-hands effort can quickly organize everyone around a single goal.

I feel like random delays would make the glitch attack harder but it would still be possible given enough attempts. Seems like the bigger issue is that you can glitch the CPU reset line which corrupts the processing rather than having no effect or resetting the CPU.

> Healthcare, decent sized apartment, 5 weeks of paid vacation, free or easily affordable pre school, overtime pay, decent schools and free college, is a good start.

This is literally the (by-law) standard of living for people with full time jobs with employment contracts[1] where I grew in Italy... that's not Silicon Valley, but one part of Italy that has been depressed for many years. (It's also the second top region in Italy by life expectation, that's between the 6th and 7th place in the world ranking by country) So much that in this very town Amazon is building a new warehouse that opens next year.

[1] Granted, permanent positions are rare; but permanent or temporary positions do offer this stuff by law. Fake contracts (partita IVA) and the gig economy exists there too.

Free college almost... public universities tuition fees are 500-4000 EUR per year, depending on the location and prestige.
E.g. Common Lisp or Ada; it depends on which C++ version you compare, because if you measure e.g. specification size, then there can be a factor two between versions.
I have to wonder what the return on investment for these "ARM SBC" devices are. Though this one is just an ITX ARM motherboard

Back in the Ras Pi 3 days I needed more memory than the 1GB standardized on the Pi. So I tried competitors. The Odroid and the Rock64.

They were both miserable with outdated (and buggy!) kernels, lacking documentation (at least in English) and absolutely miniscule developer interest.

The Raspberry Pi feels like "the worst device you could get, except for all the other ones". Everybody who isn't the Pi foundation are just churning out absolute electronic slop
Yeah I guess you're right, even the "so bad its good" movies get points for being campy and the love it / hate it reviews average out.

The Mossad/Not Mossad duality is a funny idea, but it isn't true. The NSA doesn't send replacement cellphones to millions of US citizens, they scrape unencrypted data.

They're not going to use a quantum computer on you, if they have one. They're going to embed your emails into a vector space that they can project your sentiment out of.
the correct answer is no. solar doesn't work very well at night. wind isn't always blowing.

No.

> Do women not drink?

Kinda, sorta? The global data is roughly "the more patriarchal a society is, the less women drink".

> Or are men somehow more susceptible?

That's also possible, but it's hard to suss out of the data, because the cultural aspects are so large. In some countries, alcohol use is like an order of magnitude higher for men than women, and in others it's roughly equal.
Can you go into detail for those of us who aren't as well versed in the tech?

What do the encoders do vs the decoders, in this ecosystem? What are some good links to learn about these concepts on a high level? I find all most of the writing about different layers and architectures a bit arcane and inscrutable, especially when it comes to Attention and Self-Attention with multiple heads.
A games console provided a platform where they could more effectively argue that “their” works “““needed””” to be protected so they could farm us (people who want to run their own code on hardware they purchased) for digital-jail technologies which would never otherwise have reason to exist. Then those technologies can metastasize fully-formed over to general-purpose computing in a way that's harder to argue against. They learned with Clipper and Palladium that trying to develop jail tech on PC would be vehemently opposed.
> who lack critical thinking skills to such an extent that we basically shouldn’t even have the option to make up our own opinions in response to feed recommendations

I think it's easy to be insulted by this perspective if you spend too much of your time surrounded by people who fall more than one standard deviation to the right on the intelligence bell curve. 84% of people are to the left of that, and can vote.

> Ultimately, who is the one most overtly putting their thumb on the scale here

The expression "putting their thumb on the scale" means influencing subtly and deceitfully, so China. I chose this expression intentionally.

> Do you really actually have the opinion that China is the most censorious here

Nowhere did I mention censorship. Its not merely about suppressing perspectives, it's about influencing them. Hong Kong is too obvious-- what about amplifying anti-AI sentiment to increase regulation and hobble AI progress in the US, giving a decisive advantage to China in the AI arms race? Amplifying anti-nuclear energy sentiment, to erode US energy security and create economic advantages for the Chinese solar industry?

I do agree w.r.t. the messiness of precedent, though.
I can in no way shape or form stand "impostor utensils." I throw them away ruthlessly (we sometimes acquire them when guests bring over food or by accident from vacations). When we run low I throw away the whole lot and replace it. Same with plates, glasses, or socks. Seriously, who has time to match up socks? Just buy 40 identical pairs and throw away the rest.
That interval (B-F) would be the tritone, arguably the most dissonant one in the toolbox.
United States of America v. Luigi Nicholas Mangione (2024) [pdf]
Almost certainly Both!

Systemic, indoctrinated and even toxic monogamy, perpetuated by people and society at large.

You've got people and relationships that are so harmed by strict heteronormativity and its related monogamy that "men and women can't be friends" and "you can't say that lady's cute because that's cheating" and pornography is adultery.

It's little microaggressions and requirements of conformity that systematize and enforce monogamy in little ways.
>our DNA has been shaped by nature, not stories.
Interesting point, I believe the opposite. Or, let's say, that stories have much more impact that DNA on our behaviour/thinking models.

Religion, money, appartenance to a tribe outside of immediate family, all of that are stories that we adhere to.
Hell, look at kamikazes : a group of people willingly destroying themselves (and therefore, their DNA) for the perceived well-being of a larger imaginary group, "their countrymen".

No, I believe animals can and do predict their environment, but we differ because we can adhere to a layer of information that is on top of what we can observe : call it collective subconscious or myths, but this is information that helps us do more.

Hard for me to imagine any cases where the union does a worse deal on your behalf than you did yourself. Maybe you're talking about only compensation? Unions bargain for more than just compensation: better healthcare, parental leave, more sick days, caps on hours worked, etc.

In aggregate unions exist to get a bigger share of a company's profits for its workers. (Instead of executives and investors)

But if you have examples, I'd love to read about them.
It's the contextual clarity for me. If I want to change the content, I can keep a specific syntax in mind and focus only on that. Same for JavaScript and CSS. I don't have to think about all of these things at once, but only at the boundaries where they interact with each other. Every component has a separate responsibility and they're composed in a specific way, but keeping them separate allows you to reason about them easier. This is similar to the Single Responsibility Principle.

Specialization is another aspect. Take this example from the mizu docs:

<div %http="https://example.com">

That is supposed to make a `fetch()` call. OK, great, so how do I make a POST request? Oh, with a `.post` "modifier". OK, great, so how do I specify the body? Oh, with a `%body` directive. OK, great, but what if I want to use a different encoding than the ones provided by the library? How about binary data? How about sending a specific header based on a condition, or interpreting the response in a specific way?

There are thousands of these questions and possible limitations and pitfalls that just wouldn't exist if the library didn't try to reinvent JavaScript in HTML. Just use the right tool for the job that is already specialized for what you're trying to do, and your task will be much easier.

BTW, I don't mind having components that contain JS, CSS and HTML in the same file. Svelte does this and I enjoyed using it. My problem is when these are mixed, or when CSS is entirely abandoned in favor of thousands of micro utility classes like Tailwind does.

Your home is usually automatically geofenced, so if you left it there it shouldn't chirp. If you parked your car elsewhere, e.g. an airport lot it was probably chirping while you were gone, but you wouldn't hear it because you weren't there.
The Lithium ones that they suggest to use do have a decade or more of shelf life, and they also don't leak!

I've got an old pinball machine. Those use AA batteries to store highscores and settings in a battery-powered RAM chip. Typically the batteries must be replaced once a year or at least every two years, largely because of self-drain, and it's a common occurrence of them leaking, which can quickly destroy the 30 year old circuit board they're on. That's why most pinball collectors suggest to use Lithium AA batteries: you get 5-10 year lifetime, no danger of leakage.
