In some way this already works - if you have the skill to actually not watch the stuff and flag it as “don’t show me again”.

If the platform’s view time increases only when it shows you “snowboarding, WW2 history and pinball machines", then you and the platform are aligned.
I do have a good use case for magic links.

I creates a bar management/sales platform for our group of friends. It's self service so people purchase their products on their phone and pay later.

People get... intoxicated... after which passwords appear to become quite the problem. Magic links solved that.

To solve the multi device and in-app browser problem people can also open the links on another device. That'll show a short code they can enter on the original device to actually log in. It's not perfect, but it works.

I do fully agree that passwords should always be an option as well.

> Because it protects you from nasty surprises, it slows down the codebase’s progression into a mess, and it allows you to take advantage of future improvements.

The codebase is already a nasty surprise for people coming in from the outside with experience or people that are aware of current best practices or outside cultures, therefore, the codebase is already a mess and you cannot take advantage of future improvements without a big bang since that would be inconsistent.

How to keep your code evolving in time and constantly feeling like it is something you want to maintain and add features to is difficult. But constantly rewriting the world when you discover a newer slight improvement will grind your development to a halt quickly. Never implementing that slight improvement incrementally will also slowly rot your feelings and your desire to maintain the code. Absolute consistency is the opposite of evolution: never allowing experimentation; no failed experiments mean no successes either. Sure, too much experimentation is equally disastrous, but abstinence is the other extreme and is not moderation.
What was hard to read from the article was if there’s a weekly or daily intake of sugar from SSB’s that’s “safe”?
I was able to switch to coffee and a little half and half with nothing else. That seems to be good enough for me and pretty low calorie and sugar content.

Drinking black coffee only has been difficult though, even with more expensive coffee (I'm not sure what's considered higher quality necessarily, but I have an espresso machine and I'm grinding whole beans for brands of coffee that websites claim are good)

The Register was hinting at how ridiculous the health insurance situation is, so, TL;DR of that aspect:

> [...] and nothing out of the ordinary showed up on a routine X-ray and an MRI wasn't possible due to insurance delays. [...] A week later, Rogers started losing some sensation in his hands and tried to have the MRI rescheduled, but the approval from his insurance company never came. [...] "Overnight I lost all sensation, all mobility, and became quadriplegic. [...] He begins a course of physical therapy today, but his insurance will only cover the first of three required weeks, [...]

In isolation, that last bit would only sound like normal unconscionable practices of a health insurance company. But in context of their prior shittiness resulting in great harm to the insured, it's like they're doubling-down. Are they so untouchable, that they don't have to care about optics?

I hope a really good lawyer contacts the victim, and they successfully sue the insurance company for a billion dollars. And that that provides a template for other victims to sue. A billion here, a billion there, and, pretty soon, and even the most sociopathic execs and boards have to start rethinking their practices.

I'm getting tired of reading this kind of stuff on HN, maybe I should just ignore it but a few friends from other parts of the world, also HN readers, are starting to believe it... So I'll try doing my part.

Yes, the worst-case scenario for health expenses is indeed bad in the US, this is true. However, this is not the average healthcare experience. It's not a matter of time until you're slapped with a bankruptcy-level bill.

My wife and I, both in our 50s, have had our share of insurance annoyances and frustrating phone calls, but we've had multiple surgeries fully covered by insurance. And this is the same with friends and family members, including at least 4 cancer treatments that did not lead to bankruptcy-level or even truly notable bills. This anecdote includes many people who died of "old age".

Worst-case scenario bills can be bad elsewhere too. For instance, a friend in Europe had to do a 250K GoFundMe campaign to pay for a life-saving treatment for his daughter because well, the only place in the world that performed the surgery she needed was... Guess where? The US. He faced bankruptcy for this bill, but friends and strangers were able to help him out to an extent. I think he's still recovering from the expense years later.

Medical bankruptcies and financially crushing bills are a sad possibility in the US, and certainly much more likely than in most other places. We need to keep working on this. But the vast majority of people will not have to face this problem in their lifetimes.

I'm also from a "backwater" place in South America that happens to be richer than most places in Southeast Asia. I've lived decades both in the "backwater" and in the US - I happen to know the US fairly well as a result. I choose to live here for a simple reason: the quality of life in this country is much superior than my comfortable lifestyle in South America.

I know dozens of people from different parts of Asia, and I can only remember a couple, let's say <3%, who went back to Asia after living in the US for a significant period of time. These are not poor Asians, in fact a lot of the Asians you meet in the US were relatively well off as they were able to afford the education in Asia which allowed them to immigrate. Nonetheless, they choose to remain here.

All of this said, there is nothing wrong with wanting to go to a low COL place sometime in our lives. I've done this within the US myself, and I would consider another country for a combination of weather, proximity to friends, desire of early retirement or a large property etc. But not because the US is a bad place to live, in fact its very high quality of life is what keeps me from making such move.
I had ECMAScript on my resume (as JavaScript/ECMAScript) and a technical recruiter asked me what that was.

"Oh, I've never heard of ECMAScript before".

Well, it's a thing. You'll have to trust me on that one.

Sure, as a business decision it must have made perfect sense at the time - Akamai had bigger (paying) customers to protect. But that doesn't make the optics around it any less terrible.

The message they were telegraphing with their combined actions was effectively: "We protect some of the largest corporations on the planet... but do not have the resources to keep an individual journalist and blogger online. Your business could be next."

Whoever made the decision to pull service to Krebs should have also thrown their weight around to get those ads off of Krebs's website, because the compound outlook must have been hideous. (How do you get your ads off of a website without causing any more animosity? You quickly renegotiate an exclusivity deal and then choose not to run any ads at all on it.)
Another post from the same author puts this in an interesting context: https://www.seangoedecke.com/glue-work-considered-harmful/ (follow up: https://www.seangoedecke.com/cynicism/)

Keeping the code base tidy is glue work, so you should only do enough of it to ship features. So maybe these are not "mistakes" but rather tactical choices made by politically smart engineers focused on shipping features.
Our project wasn't all that important in the grand scheme of things. Certainly not enough to justify 3 managers for it. I remember carefully asking my team manager why the structure was the way it was and her answer was to simply shrug her shoulders.

I see your point about keeping all level of stakeholders aligned and interested in the project. Considering our project size though, and the fact that it was considered a permanent development project anyway, I don't see a reason why the managers should only be responsible for a single team. They had plenty of time to take over that stakeholder management for multiple teams.
It is better to ask your internal recruiter / HR department to inform the candidate of your feedback (if you work for a big enough company). It is also good practice to always have a panel, not just the hiring manager, doing interviews.

So the candidate gets feedback along the lines of: "Thank you for participating in our interview process. Unfortunately, our panel decided you weren't the best fit for position X at this time, because ...reasons.... Under company policy, we won't accept further applications from you for one year from today, but we would encourage you to apply for a role with us in the future".

There is a chance they will reply back to HR arguing, but it is their job to be polite but firm that the decision is already made, and that they can apply again in one year (and not pass anything back to the hiring manager).

The key is to think long term and about the company as a whole - the candidate who gets helpful feedback and is treated fairly is more likely to apply again in the future (after the mandatory cooling off period), when they might have more skills and experience working somewhere else. There is a finite qualified labour pool no matter where you are based, and having the good will even of rejected candidates is a competitive advantage. The message should be "not now", rather than "not ever" (although of course, if they do go on some kind of rampage, they could turn the not now into not ever - that's a bridge burning move). If a tiny percentage go on a rampage, but the company protects the individuals from it, and has lots of counteracting positive sentiment from prospective and actual staff, then it's still a net positive.

I don't think a single big donation is a good idea. We're so used to seeing extreme wealth we don't event question it.

Once a big donation is given, you get to wonder what sort of influence that person (willingly or not) has had on the project. A much better model is a large amount of small donations, the incentive becomes to serve the maximum amount of these people.

Very interesting what you write about caffeine. I've never been a coffee drinker, having never "developed the taste" for it, but I drink a lot of sugar-free soft drinks (Pepsi Zero is my preference).

I'm fairly sure it acts as my source of caffeine, because on days that I don't drink it in the morning, I get headaches. (It took me a while to connect this, I happened to be reading that headaches are a common symptom of caffeine withdrawal.)
I'd love an article like this enumerating and explaining all the different techniques used, instead of just dumping them there. I don't mean CDCL, that is explained everywhere. I mean more advanced stuff like all the preprocessing and inprocessing techniques (e.g. bounded clause elimination), how to apply them efficiently, how to collaborate with a local search based solver (e.g. walksat), stuff like that.
I guess it can be used also in other ways, especially when you hit a wall.

E.g. my Italian windows key map does not have tilde nor backtick available, and it's just a pain to type the usual alt 126 thing on a modern laptop keyboard, where even the HOME key requires some Fn shenigan. Dell and MS, wow!
> Also, I don't get why the text makes firmware debouncer sound hard?

The article links to Microchip's PIC12F629 which is presumably the type of chip the author was working with at the time.

This would usually have been programmed in assembly language. Your program could be no longer than 1024 instructions, and you only had 64 bytes of RAM available.

No floating point support, and if you want to multiply or divide integers? You'll need to do it in software, using up some of your precious 1024 instructions. You could get a C compiler for the chips, but it cost a week's wages - and between the chip's incredibly clunky support for indirect addressing and the fact there were only 64 bytes of RAM, languages that needed a stack came at a high price in size and performance too.

And while we PC programmers can just get the time as a 64-bit count of milliseconds and not have to worry about rollovers or whether the time changed while you were in the process of reading it - when you only have an 8-bit microcontroller that was an unimaginable luxury. You'd get an 8-bit clock and a 16-bit clock, and if you needed more than that you'd use interrupt handlers.

It's still a neat chip, though - and the entire instruction set could be defined on a single sheet of paper, so although it was assembly language programming it was a lot easier than x86 assembly programming.
> You missed a basic element of what they said: "can't measure it or repeatably demonstrate it"; seeing a non-reproducible event with your eyes is a form of measurement, and that measurement could in principle be done by an objective machine (recorded by a camera). The potential for objective evidence is what distinguishes a matter of fact from a matter of opinion.

No. Recording an experiment does not constitute scientific repeatability of an experiment. (Not to mention Quantum Mechanics explicitly rejects your claim as a universal principle at the micro level.)

> As to the "correct formula for gravity" - that's just bad faith nitpicking. "Newtonian gravitation is a fact" is both a strawman and completely irrelevant when it comes to social media fact checkers.

No, it is not a strawman at all. It clearly illustrates via an example of something we have known to be false for about a century, yet not only we do not censor it on social media, we teach it to kids, and almost no one would object to it.

So, where do you draw the line?

I posit there exists facts that are unknowable by the scientific method. The GP claimed science as the end-all-be-all method to fact-check. My statement is that it's not sound, nor complete, in its ability to fact-check.
If you want to make it more accurate, the car started in the Woolworths parking lot or something. But that doesn't capture many of the other aspects. Hmm.

My best attempt at this car analogy is more like... you walk over to some idling Lyft drivers and say you need an Uber to Coles. And then one of them drives you to Coles instead of driving you to the nearest Uber idling spot.
And even more cynical take: They are marketing for AI hype cycle. That is there to drive up the stock prices, not actually hire. Spread out effort to make companies and AI overall look more popular.
And when it impacts a lot of files, it can break the compiler or introduce bugs. It MUST go in its own PR/MR.

I propose not stopping at input-buffering. Keep going, how fast could we get the REPL times if that were the KPI?

I doubt we'd be doing full page redraws and slinging json of all things. I think what you'd end up with is something that looked a little more like a game engine than react. That would be a fun project to work on.
Some people will criticize but I follow a similar time management schedule.

It was only when I've built my first startup that many of those skills had to be learned and to be quite frank, I only wish to have started earlier rather than being throw into for making enough money.

Nowadays that schedule is accurate and I'm a family person with two young kids in the house. I just don't wake so early but that is mostly because I keep working on my personal projects until midnight~1 AM.

The good thing is that I'm no longer so attached with my employer company. Mismanagement, demotion or those issues don't affect me so personally because my professional value is no longer just defined by the company where I work. My work outside company hours is valued by many others, albeit not profit-driven it serves as a good backup whenever falling into unemployment situations.

I'm no expert in this domain, but the larger issue at play here is that:

1. certain groups are arguing for assigning trust to a group to perform case-by-case censorship as a countermeasure to propaganda and disinformation,

2. other groups (sometimes purposefully) misinterpreting this as blanket censorship and conjure up several slippery-slope warnings.

When talking about general things, it sounds very noble to talk about protecting every budding idea... therefore group #2 gets to trot around the higher moral ground when arguing in this way.

When talking about the specific ideas being "censored" (e.g. "immigrants eating dogs"), group #1 gets to claim group #2 is some flavor of crazy.

What both miss is that they have been pitted against each other by so many interest groups: nation-state and corporate.

This is happening all around the globe.
This is a great insight, you see it in a lot of mobile games and "live services" / MMOs especially, a big focus on "numbers go up" with relatively minimal effort or skill involved (or only the perception thereof).

In a similar vein, "stamina" in mobile games that limit how much you can do, which on the one side makes the game not "feel" like it takes much time, but which on the other encourages you to open it up a few times a day, and / or buy the "restore stamina" purchase.

"Dailies" / "weeklies", things you should do every day / week to stay up to date.

"time limited events", miss it and you'll never get the chance again.
