Broadcom and Realtek is not better. Intel is not too great too (blobs in firmware, etc).
The human body (like most fit organisms) is antifragile. It needs to be challenged. In this context, people who think "ooh that hurts I'll never do that again" and carefully avoid discomfort find that, by middle age, they can't do anything, and everything hurts. Meanwhile people who think "ooh that hurts, I'd better practise it until it doesn't" are still fully functional into old age because they push their bodies in the right way, and so their bodies stay strong.

Don't get me wrong, the latter group still hurt. Getting old sucks. But their bodies work.
How quaint! It’s hard to connect now to a time when that was enough to be a scandal.
> writing the initial code for a feature is about 25% of the total work involved for that feature.

Over a decade ago, I had a job where we were juggling several projects and needed to track our work in 15 minute intervals. The timesheets were mildly annoying but they did allow us to determine that number empirically.

We came up with an average ~20%. Remarkably little variation across projects too.

The implications to estimation should be obvious - any software planning process that resembles a feature factory and only estimates 20% of the work is systematically neglecting the remaining 80% - things like fixing bugs, performance optimization, backup drills, dealing with dependencies, code review, CI/CD/Release process, QA testing, docs, UX testing, training, technical communication, etc. Multiplying the initial estimate by 5x is not just some cheeky heuristic to pad estimates, it's damn near proven by empirical evidence IMO.

Constantly shoving more and more features into software systems without doing any of the engineering work to support it leads to bad outcomes. Who could have guessed /s

What the modern Democratic Party knows, but understandably doesn’t go around trumpeting, is that they cannot organize mass collective action because there’s not enough people on their side. You talk about “a coalition of labor unions”, but even union members barely lean Democratic these days. There’s very few groups outside of the Democratic Party infrastructure which are polarized enough to take a side.
Hey, Robert here (author).

We are the opposite of companies with big funding and quick success. I also know that software engineers education is not the most viral topic here. Nevertheless, seeing success stories not following beaten paths may be valuable and eye-opening. Long-term sustainable growth and learning by building are undervaluated.

It may have been asked in earnest.
Sorry, but no - putting the burden on the developer to detect whether they are running in a container or not and then determine and adjust to cgroup settings is far too high an encumbrance on the service developer. This is a demonstrative example of a fundamental responsibility that should always be delegated to the runtime as the default behavior.

Neither Go 1.19 nor any subsequent version has "solved" this issue.
How did the Biden administration in particular contribute to making it easier for the National Public Data data breach to happen? National Public Data was a private data broker that offered background checks services scraped personal information including SSNs from public data sources, failed to protect it, and went bankrupt from lawsuits (deserved). Did the Biden administration do anything comparable to allowing unelected people with no accounting or security experience bypass the usual government employment process and access Treasury data?

Thanks! There are three different calculations used to determine the trending value:

Average Trend – This is calculated by taking the percentage change between consecutive months and averaging these values. It gives a general sense of how skill mentions increasing or decreasing over time.

Median Trend – The percentage changes between months are sorted, and the median value is taken. This reduces the impact of extreme fluctuations and provides a more stable measure of growth.

CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) Trend – This is calculated by comparing the first and last month's skill mentions count, then applying the CAGR formula to estimate a steady growth rate over the observed period. This measures long-term trends rather than month-to-month volatility.

If there are fewer than three months of data, trends are marked as "N/A" due to insufficient data for meaningful analysis.
As far as I can tell, they are unrelated beyond the relation all definitions of real numbers would have with it. There is a superficial Left and Right boundary defining an interval that contains the number, but it does not seem like there are a family of intervals for a given real number in this approach.

I do not get the feeling that there is a narrowing down to a given number in the surreal numbers, but I know very little about them.

I also do not immediately see how my construction could be extended to infinitesimals or the infinite numbers.
Yep, I hope this time it will not be stalled in the middle of the process at POC level.

Once you build a distributed system that's large, it has to tolerate routine node failures.

Once you have a fault tolerant system, and some idea of failure rates, you can then ask "is it worth having X units of less reliable hardware or Y units of more reliable hardware? How many will still be running after a year?"

You then find out that buying a few more cheap nodes compensates completely for the lower reliability.

Also, don't forget that science can make a similar flaw. Just because a drug works on average, doesn't mean that it will work for you or that it won't have any negative side effects. Human variation can be quite big with certain things.

> Each card was a physical medium that contained a limited amount of data, typically a few hundred bytes

Standard IBM punch cards were 80 columns by 12 rows so they could theoretically hold 960 bits. In practice they contained up to 80 characters EBCDIC, an 8-bit encoding so around 80 "bytes".
I'd like to believe any developer has more than a few pet projects around which they dedicate their time into whenever one has free time. Some get forgotten, others are overly specific to be marketed at all but maybe that one in a hundred has the opportunity to become a good investment, so it is just matter of buckling up and trying to ship it to the world. This doesn't mean it's going to make you financially successful, but actually delivering products does give you the experience of knowing what makes a successful one if anything at all. If you are lucky, you may break even in terms of time/resources spent after all the ordeal and you also get experience, though I wouldn't say that's the experience of most for the first few times, there's always a point in trying.

Also, the problem with GDPR is that it wanted to leave too much room for business to still collect an obscene amount of data, hence it allows the cookie banner. Please note that I emphasized “allow” because that's all GDPR does: it allows companies to use a cookie banner to extract the consent to collect data. It doesn't mandate it in any way.

None of my multiple websites have a cookie banner on them because I'm not trying to extract consent from my users to abuse their data, I just don't collect it and I'm effortlessly GDPR-compliant in the least obnoxious way.

Cookie banners are just malicious compliance.

Perhaps that was badly put, but I'm quite certain that the interests in the US who advocate for tariffs are among the wealthy. It would not be accurate to imply that all of the wealthy advocate for tariffs, yes.

Tariffs in agriculture, automotive, and all sorts of other things have benefitted corporations and people with a lot of money and cost people who need to buy those things. (I hope I can say that without getting into whether those tariffs also serve the greater good)

> Mostly rich people like low tax and low meddling with trade.

That's imprecise. America's rich are often unmoved when it's pointed out that their employees pay more taxes than they do as a percentage of income. I'm sure that they like it when their taxes are low.

Start up time of the JVM is 8s? I would definitely say that it depends on how their service initialization work. I have seen service accesses database to warm cache, calling other services to initialize their configuration, or simply reading config files before fully serving. And all that take time! There is no way against that regardless of your PL or runtime.

A typical no network initialized service in Java would start under 500ms (a p90, give or take).

I can certainly attest to the consequences. I unfortunately shattered my ankle and broke my back simultaneously, which meant I didn't walk on my ankle until 6 months after the incident. As such, even 10 years later my ankle is a constant irritant to me. I have next to no dorsiflexion beyond a straight leg now. No ankle mobility means persistent pain in my hip, knee, and back on that side, and I'm only 29. God bless the NHS for saving my life at the time and not charging me a penny, but despite my best efforts I can't get any further treatment now to improve the flexion. I'm counting down the years until I can finally afford further surgery and get some quality of life improvements.

Yea, the gym system in the beginning was terrible and encouraged many of the weirdos that play the game to become outright bullies with lots of reported physical confrontations. Even without them , there was absolutely nothing fun about fighting a bunch of Chanseys. Raids are also one of the best features in the game.

So it seems like you did get the point of my comment, and purposely didn't address it the first time you responded. I'll say the same thing again in different terms: the author's ethos when it comes to criticizing corrupt political administrations is significantly harmed by the fact that he has worked for corrupt political administrations with seemingly no issue.
I know it sucks, but ELon also has SpaceX, Twitter, xAI and oddballs like neurolink and boring company that would still keep him outrageously wealthy if Tesla collapses.

Also Tesla won't collapse because it's investors are the most brain damaged investors, and frankly their self-fulfilling prophecy has kept them repeatedly buying any dip back up. It's been extremely profitable to be a mindless Tesla investor.
Sunlight is so wildly inconsistent, though. It changes temperature, angle, and intensity so fast, and it is far far too bright for the majority of the time it is available.

>they developed and launched a product they knew couldn't live up to its billing or its price point

Most of the tech sector has this problem, which is why they rug pull customers with the price the second the VC money dries up. We're inured to seeing 10-20% price increases every year for SaaS, because the acquisition price point was artifically low.

I'm glad a company decided to just set a "market price" for once. Unfortunately it failed and rugpulled customers by doing so.
Show HN: Seede AI – Create Posters in 1 Minute, No Design Skills Needed
There was a 'may' in my original comment. It is metaprogramming, so you can't see every usage automatically even with "alien tech" like IDEs, unlike in case of a normal type.

Especially that we are not even talking about own code, but third-party annotations with its third-party consumers. Also, grepping is a pretty standard term, it doesn't necessarily mean literal CLI grep, but go on with your advanced tooling as if no one else would be familiar with an IDE.
I actually think it is going to be way worse than you are suggesting. I think that the LLM codegen is going to replace most if not all of software eng workflow and teams that we see today.

Ask HN: Why aren't governments using Signal with proxies?
I have been wondering this for a while, but given the current geopolitical situation, it feels even more relevant than before.

Governments (and companies, actually) should not trust servers controlled by other governments for their communications. Typically, all companies using Microsoft Teams, GMail or Slack expose all their communications to those companies and to the US government.

Even when using e2ee services like WhatsApp, metadata are leaked (e.g. which politician is writing to which other politician, and when).

Signal is obviously a good candidate for such sensitive communications, with Sealed Sender and soon Key Transparency. However, metadata may leak at the network level (I believe Signal servers run on AWS, so Amazon could look at the IPs of the messages and deduce who is talking to whom, to some extent).

Now, why wouldn't governments run Signal proxies? That would completely solve the problem of the leaked IPs, right? They could even go fancy an integrate some kind of mixnet feature if needed. Signal already supports proxies, so it would just be a matter of telling their employees to connect through the proxy. Or even build a special version of Signal that only connects through the government proxy.

Would that be a bad idea? Why is nobody doing that?
