I think the author of this essay misunderstood the point being made in the linked interview clip. It's not that anyone who knows what kids are like should know why people might not want them, it's that anyone who knows what parenthood is like should understand why people might not be eager to sign up for such an exhausting, all-consuming job.
There are multiple privilege levels. Microcode has higher privilege than an OS/VMM does.
this is impressive! any way you can set up an extension to run html and js previews? for example if claude can generate a multi page html project with js and css can your extension handle organizing and running a preview of the components? nice work!!!

With 25+ years of experience in technology and 11+ in leadership roles spanning software architecture, operations, and team management, I have cultivated a career focused on building scalable systems, solving complex problems, and fostering high-performing, cohesive teams. My leadership style centers on measurable results that align with both customer and company needs, blending strategic vision with technical expertise.

Accomplishments and Expertise:
* Team Building and Leadership: Scaled teams from zero to 12 direct reports and later managed a 40+ person product and engineering organization, splitting the group into three specialized teams to align with business needs. Successfully hired and mentored managers to lead these teams, developed overseas and remote teams, and maintained strong engagement and efficiency in distributed environments.
* Multi-Cloud Strategy: Designed and implemented multi-cloud strategies across AWS, GCP, and Azure to ensure scalability, cost optimization, and system reliability. Balanced vendor lock-in risks with business needs, enabling high availability and flexibility.
* Scaling and Developing Teams: Successfully scaled engineering teams to meet rapid growth demands by leveraging internal hires, external agencies, and outsourcing partners. Built a sustainable and adaptable structure by hiring and developing technical leaders, including Engineering Managers, Architects, and Principal Engineers.
* Operational and Process Optimization: Adapted team workflows to align with evolving business priorities—transitioning from high-skilled Kanban teams for greenfield projects to balanced SCRUM teams for routine work. This flexibility ensured efficiency while meeting strategic objectives.
High-Performance Systems: Led efforts to support 15B requests per week while maintaining a 99.999% SLA and 100% uptime. Developed automation for incident resolution, debugging, and diagnostics, improving time-to-detect and time-to-resolve while reducing on-call burden for engineers.
* Cost Savings and Innovation: Implemented systems inspired by dampening physics to save $10M+ per year in budget overages. Led a project that re-architected an edge network to resolve latency issues while creating the foundation for new revenue streams. Delivered results consistently ahead of schedule, including MVP launches and new network architectures.
* Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): Built and led diverse teams, including underrepresented groups, and volunteered for ERGs supporting DEI initiatives. Mentored for HackBright Academy to help increase the representation of women in tech.
* Customer and Stakeholder Focus: Managed multi-million-dollar incident responses, leading efforts from live management to customer communications and root-cause analysis. Balanced technical leadership and customer advocacy to ensure timely resolutions and foster trust.
Looks like a typical mitm attack, which confuses me a bit, don't the developers use something like tls or dtls to protect their communications?
The most recent game I analysed was helldivers 2, which uses dtls. i would have thought that would be fairly common knowledge.
I'm by no means leftist but Trump has literally been saying over and over again that he wants to use "economic force" to make Canada the 51st state.

maybe he's joking, maybe it's a negotiation strategy. but he's also unpredictable, and Canadians need to take the threats seriously.
At this point I have no idea, so have a nice day. ;-)
“Massive popular mandate” - citation needed
Isn't it free speech? Yes, that is a comment in style against the guidelines of this forum, but you've got to admire the irony.
Can feature phones rise again with QVGA, thin clients, and remote browsers?
Agree. It seems largely they are just writing code to make sense of the enormous amount of data and unravel the tangled mess that is the US federal budget.
This sounds like a popular mandate to me
This is something they are (probably) working towards with SteamOS, being able to run it on your own hardware with deck-level hardware support. See https://www.pcguide.com/news/valve-could-be-thinking-about-r...
For me fluency is lower than C1, but yes.

It is a lot effort, I find Spaced Repetition actually very demanding – but effective, that's the point.

If you take Paul Nation's math (the famous https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1044345.pdf) and instead of doing that you mine the hardest sentences you find to an SRS (basically, separating grain from chaff) you save yourself a lot of time, because you will never find a piece of text long enough where you know exactly 98% of the words.

In my case, I use flashcards primarily for reading and listening comprehension, but lately I am using it a bit more for pronunciation, and it can also work well for spelling.

They renamed the US Digital Services agency to be DOGE. I don't know if they can rename a branch of government but that's how they are doing it. Musk has then gotten Trump to appoint members of his initial DOGE as representatives in each of the departments (Treasury, Commerce, etc) so they can have acting authority.

Trump's delegated Musk as a Special Government Operative and signed executive orders granting him and all his recommended employees security clearances w/o the requisite background checks that normally would be required.

So they are acting within the government, they are employees, and they've been granted special waivers by Trump to do all this craziness.

I think its going to come down more to the courts looking at whether these 'newly appointed employees' are breaking all kinds of laws passed by congress.
You've got literary flair, I thought for a second your paragraph was an excerpt from a novel.

JFC, he named a quasi-governmental agency "DOGE"! He may as well have called it "The Department of Pump"

And his buddy the president is happily sending the currency and stock markets up and down with his every idiotic tariff announcement. I wonder if the top man at DOGE is on the list of people who Trump tips off?

Musk, Trump and half this administration are off-the-charts corrupt.
Thank you! I was looking to see if anyone made this point.

You are exactly right. "Inexperience" just means someone younger than you.

Sitch App | Engineering Lead | NYC-area HYBRID (2 days/week in Brooklyn) | Full-time | Python + Django + Flutter + Rust

Sitch is a new type of concierge dating app. We're using AI + Humans to ask you questions, get to know you, then help you find love. We're a concierge matchmaker but we don't call ourselves that and we don't charge the obscene prices that matchmakers charge.

One of our metrics is how little time you spend in the app. We're explicitly opposed to the dopamine-fueled mini-game doomswiping of 'traditional' dating apps which cynically monetizes desperation.

* We're top-tier VC funded, small team of 2 cofounders (Snapchat, Bumble) and 3 engineers, based in NYC.

* Stack is Django, OpenAI, Flutter, Rust for Chat infrastructure.

* Looking for a Sr. Eng who is an all-arounder and wants to eventually manage. Backend more important than front-end code, but if can also work on client code (or want to learn) that would be ideal.

* 2 days/week in person, in Brooklyn, and the rest remote. We strongly prefer NYC area candidates.

There are more than a few legacy databases where a person's first name wouldn't be lowercased. I worked for a university awhile back, this is post-2010, and names were stored uppercase.
1. The devil doesn't need an advocate, he already has plenty of shills to advocate for him.

2. 49.8% of the popular vote is enough to elect an executive, but not enough to overturn the constitution, which places clear limits on the power of that executive. The more radical the change, the larger the consensus that it requires. In order for the executive to legally receive this power, you need a supermajority of states.

But in a world where the courts and the cops are on your side, nothing needs to be legal anymore.
This is starting to happen. I had to do this for NIH recently.

Or it would be happening absent the recent chaos.
They already know none of this is legal. The goal is to just keep the courts tied up while Musk goes in and does the heist stealing federal data and wrecking what he can in the process.
obligatory mention of Little Bobby Tables
US GDP growth is slow, China's is high and BRICS is coalescing.

In not too long, China's GDP will eclipse ours and their cooperative foreign policy as opposed to our full spectrum dominance policy will yield major benefits. Dedollarization is proceeding apace, and it accelerates with each sanction and aggressive and arbitrary move by the US. Other countries used to have no choice, but now choices are opening up. The end of dollar dominance ends the most powerful tool of U.S. hegemony and turns us into a mere great power, not the lord of the world.

Trump's policy is about corruption yes, but also likely about wringing more efficiency out of American industry by reducing worker protections and reducing middle management positions. They are trying different methods to juice growth. I don't think it will work for very long.
I think it's really creepy and sad that this guy uses language like "This group has been deleted" when he's talking about people and not rows in a database.
I agree. Fascism is fascism whether it’s a teenage Octavian, Agrippa or a groyper. Underestimate them at your peril.
Seems kind of like a shit system when a tiny fraction of people can control what everyone else sees and they don’t have to provide any sense of justification or even put their names to it.

Thats a system ripe for abuse if I’ve ever seen one.

HN’s guidelines are woefully out of date for the reality of where things are in 2025 and seems to rely on people just magically acting in good faith all the time.
The goal is to overturn the system. The electorate is mad that nothing changes regardless of Dem or GOP in charge. They want something to change. They've wanted it for so long that at this point they're okay seeing it burn down.

> My point was they are not equivalent because Apple does not track people around the web like Google does.

That's a pittance of privacy. Apple sells your search results out to Google, cooperates with NSA surveillance and institutes online DRM for your apps. They do not care about protecting you from tracking because tracking users is official policy for Apple in both iOS and MacOS.

It is pathetic to watch people on this site rush out to defend Apple like they aren't part of the problem. If you have witnessed Tim Cook's behavior over the past 10 years and still hold hope for Apple, you are not paying close enough attention.

> At best, Google pretends to improve privacy.

Google still published AOSP source code. That's not "pretending" to improve anything, it's an outright statement about the transparent security of their product. I hate AdSense and consider it an anticompetitive scourge on the internet, but I don't see Apple making commitments to security on the level of Google. Last I checked they were still trying to sue security researchers...

If you think Google is "pretending" to improve privacy, how can you deny that Apple pretends too? The reason people drill down on this isn't to defend Google, it's to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you do not actually know what Apple's stance is on this and cannot confirm it with hard evidence. You are repeating marketing and whitepapers, hoping that it's correct.

speakers 5.1 - what's in between the PC and the speakers? what amplifier? have you calibrated it (room size, speaker distances etc) ? where encoding/decoding happens? splitting sub to all-else? as sibling comment said, up-converting 2.0 to anything higher is not simple. Even to 2.1

youtube - the audio on youtube is.. not.. quality. i had a friend who used them as best-audio-compression-ever :) maybe, Opposite of all above, It is possible that now you are hearing their garbage that was unheardable before.

games - similar.. it's not an audiofile genre.

Get some proper sound out (e.g. flac or .ape or something) of something that you know how it sounds (piano? voice? some old electronic stuff?) hopeing it's not over-engineered at studio.. and check that. Better, multiple things ..
I don't disagree, but I read this as unnecessary hyperbole to an honest question.
My argument was that one of the most American things ever (hip hop) is actually rooted in NY.

The rest is a response to 'hip hop heads don't listen to female artists' so I mentioned a bunch of heavyweights. This can degenerate into 'no real scotsman' so whatever.

There is today a whole lot of pop artists that use hip hop aesthetics, but as usual the real stuff is very much underground.

How huge parts of the US could become uninhabitable within decades
Lon Horiuchi couldn't be convicted because the state's prosecutor dropped it.
Sometimes following rules leads to an unrecoverable state, and then you have no choice but to reboot. Compound interest leads to either stagnation and decline, or else to jubilee. It's an inherently unstable system that has felled many civilizations before ours. Debt grows exponentially while real economies saturate in an S-curve. Eventually something has to give.
Let's ignore the ethics of your position just for a second.

How do you think would affairs develop if the policy you defend now continues? Suppose the families of those men are "made aware of their son's actions" (i.e. they are harassed, because that's what's really going to happen).

The administration will make sure that public the has the right to know the name and addresses of the loved ones of opposition politicians and their associates. And, it may come to a surprise to you, but most crazy people with a lot of firearms generally support the administration and ruling party. Those people can harrass families with unprecedented effectiveness. They can also do much worse.

How is what you are suggesting a good idea from a purely tactical standpoint?

Firstly, clarifying that I am not a bot post.

Hi, I'm Kenny. I'm looking for junior and mid-level engineering roles where I can grow after being on the "design" side of product development for awhile. Previously worked in a UX-centric role at a gaming company and also have experience in an early SaaS start-up as a software engineer. I would enjoy working with companies related to media and entertainment but am honestly open to anything! Email me if you have any questions. Thank you! :)
Amendments require approval of 3/4 of states and there are still enough states to vote against. Also what amendment, specifically? That Trump can be president more times? Exert more power? Eliminate opposing political parties? Legislate pi to be 3?
Not entirely sure that's the right way round, but it may depend on your jurisdiction.

In the UK, if a psychiatrist recommends some kind of therapy, they will refer you to someone else. But if a psychologist* does, they will do it themselves. Which kind of leaves them marking their own homework.

* Clinical psychologists are the ones qualified to deal with mental health problems. There are several other categories.
Fortunately we have an enemy this time, Elon Musk. He's it. He's also really bad at hiding what he's doing.
> Some of America's greatest leaders were younger than these guys.

All of them were at some point in their lives, but generally not when they were “America’s greatest leaders”.

(And none of the guys in your first linked X post were in charge of the revolution, even remotely, in 1776—Hamilton, for instance, was doing some of the heroics as a young captain that got him noticed and on the fast track that ended up in top leadership positions, but that's a far cry from being a top leader.)
Assuming the company stock has an upward trajectory the correct ratio to cite here depends on whether you're looking at the original grant or the value upon vesting. You could plausibly have grants that are 1/3 of your compensation at award but integer multiples of your salary upon vesting.
Don't know something? Apes can tell
The major issues [0] included things like the economy, foreign policy, violent crime and immigration. Which generally favour Trump & the right wing. I don't understand the lack of strategic empathy among some on the left for being realistic about what people are focusing on. The election was close to a coin flip, obviously the democrats didn't have a big advantage.

Climate change might not even be a major issue any more, people are cooling to it.

Why do people on the left say such strange things that have no relation to reality? You think the U.S. military could not handle to "win" a war against Hezbollah or Canada? I see this all over in this thread and throughout HN as if the U.S. is has the weakest military in the world; it's so absurd, it's as if the left has actually gone mad. I would gather that most of HN probably thinks Luxemburg could easily dispense with the U.S. military. To the extent that the U.S. "loses" any war against an insurgency is precisely because it is not as evil as the left believes and is unwilling to do what is in its capability simply to "win". Regardless, the fact that the left takes the idea of the U.S. going to war with Canada because "Trump says things" seriously just shows how far removed from reality and unhinged they are about the current president.
Ages ago I started trying to scratch itches through some fabric, like a shirt sleeve or something, so I wouldn't damage the skin (keep the fabric stationary on the itchy skin and drag your hand across the fabric). For some reason it's almost as satisfying as scratching directly, so I wonder if it gets the benefit without the downside here.
I'm trying to download my 1099 forms from TreasuryDirect and it's coming back as unavailable. Probably unrelated to everything going on now, but the fact I thought that it could be related for a second is crazy.

>>> TreasuryDirect is unavailable.

Don't insult my intelligence like that. I would never quote nominal income to you. My post was inflation adjusted.

Because it takes decades of investment and work to build up international trust and soft power, but as it turns out, it takes all of two weeks for a fool to destroy it.

Look at how that turned out for Bismark's Germany after he was gone. His successors were high on their own supply, and in pursuit of short-term wins, destroyed the careful network of relationships and alliances that he curated.

Beijing is, no doubt, finding this entire folly amusing.
You are still linking to a tweet with misinformation.
A grammar is not the language. A language can be described by infinitely many grammars. That also goes for precedence. Parsing theory describes which algorithms can handle which grammars, and how efficiently they can do that. It allows you to ignore the details of parsing.
Strict constitutionalists would call many of these programs unconstitutional.

This is a problem for the left and for neo-cons; they flouted the constitution for so long, that now that someone else (Trump) is doing it to them, the left/neocons don't really have a base that responds well to cries of "Unconstitutional!".
This is typical of old buildings that get new technology. Almost never will the old wiring / conduit be demoed when something old gets removed. Just left in place, then who ever installs the new stuff comes along and gets to add even more conduit and wire. Even to just add stuff to an existing location, you would think oh there's already conduit from A to B no problem, Probably still going to end up with new conduit ran. This kind of stuff can be anything from abandoned old analog phone lines to CCTV to even old AC power stuff occasionally.
Any developer yes, but I personally put game developers into a different category, they’re making games and trying to find shortcuts to meet strange management requirements. They don’t know the security side.. I’m admitting there should be some guard before code review is approved from a real security engineer

> Any developer who does that should be aware of the security risks they’re taking.

Developer yeah, someone who’s focused on recreating the game probably not
The deck already has bluetooth for controllers and HDMI out if you get a standard USB3/HDMI dongle (or their expensive dock).

Essentially all you're asking for them to add is better specs.

In December their revised branding guidelines added a "Powered by SteamOS" badge so presumably 3rd-party boxes with various specs in set-top form factors will be coming before too long:
