Basically, the rook, assuming the spaces are open and he and the rook havent moved, either moves adjacent to the king (if he isnt already adjacent) and the king moves two spaces around him.
You are either immature as a software engineer and unfamiliar with how software work is done conceptually, or you are jaded and disgruntled from dysfunctional orgs that cannot come up with requirements. That is okay, but you should not try to be instructive to others on this matter.

I love product work and programming. As I wrote in this thread, I did it while freelancing, I do it now at dayjob. I am bored by just programming and want more control over the result. People come to me with "a few words about a desire" and I do come up with specifics and I get credit for it

But I am recognized as a product person, not just programmer. And I know better to not make the mistake you make and pretend that every builder or a structural engineer should be an architect of a building or an urban planner.

People like you is why we have managers come to an expert level say C++ dev with "a few words about a desire" and expect them to decide what thing to build in the first place AND to build it, just to later tell them it was wrong. When there is no product person who determines the reqs random people will make programmer come up with requirements yourself and then later tell you it is not up to "requirements".

This lack of organization and requirement clarity is offensive to expert programmers and probably the reason most projects drag on forever and die.

This is compared to no global warming at all far in the future. Meaning that we will still be richer than today, just not as rich as if we magically could sustain this economic growth without increasing greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.

Validating ZenBox – a self-hosted encrypted data vault
I'm toying with launching a secure data vault application. It's designed to be a dropbox-like app but you choose where your box is hosted and can permit apps to access your data under strict, revokable protocols. Curious what you think.

The app would start with simple features like secure notes, file sharing and secure messaging and gradually add more sophisticated features like GDPR compliant data sharing, facebook-like feeds and data monetization. The vision is to develop each feature as a means to evolve open protocols for the secure sharing of private data with decentralised applications, moving towards the web3 vision of controlling your own global data footprint. Developers would be free to build apps on these protocols promoting competition and giving the user a choice of UX for each feature. Each protocol would use specifically designed smart contracts to govern access to the data and to act as a digital service level agreement. This puts the data sharing intelligence on chain where it is fully customizable, programmable, transparent, interactive and auditable under the conditions of the protocol.

What do you think? Is it a concept that resonates? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Ask HN: Struggling with Anxiety as a Developer – What Are My Options?
I'm a senior web developer (10 years), but in the past three years, I’ve struggled with anxiety, and my performance has suffered because of it. I started a new job last year but I was let go due to performance and am now wondering how to move forward.

Councilling has made it clear my job and my personal traits are the root cause of my anxiety. Being conscious of what others think of me and fearing making mistakes doesn't mix well with code reviews, sprints and constant deadlines.

The anxiety causes tight muscles, brain fog, adrenaline rushes, and exhaustion, making me 30% slower. It’s a vicious cycle: more anxiety makes me slower, which then fuels more anxiety.

I'm working on this through counselling, journaling, self-reflection, and meditation, but what do I do now? I need to find a new job, but a fast-moving startup environment will just lead to the same outcome.

I do want meaningful work—I don't want to pick my nose all day. But I need a less demanding environment. All I see on LinkedIn are "fast-moving" startup roles. Are there any slower paced web dev jobs? I'm fine taking a pay cut for the right pace and environment. Taking a mid level job is a possibility but they seem scarce and I'm wary of just eventually being given senior work load.

The only other option is to change career within or outside of software. I have no ideas here, and to be honest, this is rather frightening. I'd be curious to hear what others have done.

If you have any tips on the above, have similar programming-related anxiety issues, and/or have overcome them, please share what you can. It will really help me out.
I find that having a "DevOps Team" is an organizational anti-pattern. I still believe "DevOps" means to join development and operations into a single entity, because it makes no sense to do it in any other way.

It might make sense when monolithic systems are so enormous that no single dev team can manage them, but that's another anti-pattern.

Is SGCL your project?

In that case, are you doing atomic writes for managed pointers/the read flag on them? I have read a few of your comments on reddit and your flags seem to be per memory page? Still, the synchronization on them may or may not have a more serious performance impact than alternative methods and without a good way to compare it to something like Java which is the state of the art in GC research we can't really comment much on whether it's a net benefit.

Also, have you perhaps tried modeling your design in something like TLA+?

>> Having an idea for a cartoon used to be a dead end

But drawning a cartoon isn't very challenging. Most of my peers could draw someone from South Park in a junior school.

The hardship in making cartoons is the amount of choices you need to make and the amount of knowledge how those choices would impact a viewer.
If you delegate all of that, the cartoon wouldn't be simply blunt, it would be self-contradicting. And we already had a way of making cartoons, that allow your writing to shine through bland animation – since flash, actually. It might actually be even faster then using generative AI

In the spec <https://confetti.hgs3.me/specification/>:

> Confetti source text consists of zero or more Unicode scalar values. For compatibility with source code editing tools that add end-of-file markers, if the last character of the source text is a Control-Z character (U+001A), implementations may delete this character.

I’ve heard of this once, when researching ASCII control codes and related ancient history, but never once seen it in real life. If you’re insisting on valid Unicode, it sounds to me like you’re several decades past that happening.

And then given that you forbid control characters in the next section… make up your mind. You’re saying both that implementations MAY delete this character, and that source MUST NOT use it. This needs clarification. In the interests of robustness, you need to specify what parsers MUST/SHOULD/MAY do in case of content MUST violations, whether it be reject the entire document, ignore the line, replace with U+FFFD, &c. (I would also recommend recapitalising the RFC 2119 terms. Decapitalising them doesn’t help readability because they’re often slightly awkward linguistically without the reminder of the specific technical meaning; rather it reduces their meaning and impact.)

> For compatibility with Windows operating systems, implementations may treat the sequence Carriage Return (U+000D) followed by Line Feed (U+000A) as a single, indivisible new line character sequence.

This is inviting unnecessary incompatibility. I recommend that you either mandate CRLF merging, or mandate CR stripping, or disallow special CRLF handling. Otherwise you can cause different implementations to parse differently, which has a long history of causing security problems, things like HTTP request smuggling.

I acknowledge this is intended as the base for a family of formats, rather than a strict single spec, but I still think allowing such variation for no good reason is a bad idea. (I’m not all that eager about the annexes, either.)

From memory, having last seen it in the '80s:

"Why do you wear that toy on your head?" "Because if I wear it anywhere else, it...chafes"

"What's that?" "A laser beam, bozo!" "What are we supposed to do?" "Follow it!"

"Your stutter has improved" "I've been giving myself shock treatment" "...Up the voltage"

"You're laborers, you're supposed to be laboring. That's what you get for not having an education!"

"It's a coherent beam of light" "So that means it talks?"

Of course, the non-quote where one of the kids at the study table stands up, screams repeatedly, and leaves, and with no reaction one of the kids at the periphery of the room moves to sit in his place.

And of course: "If there's ever anything I can do for you, or, more to the point, to you..." "Can you hammer a six inch spike through a board with your penis?" "Well, not right now..."

Real Genius had a significant impact on me...
Unfortunately, wage labor as our primary labor structure has a tendency to produce Severance far more frequently than it does a meaningful marriage between work and personal purpose.

There are a lot of people that argue that if you were to eliminate wage labor, and distribute goods as equally as possible or at least take care of basic needs for free through universal income or some other means that people would get lazy and stop working...but it's not true. As your post illustrates, working and producing is just as essential of an aspect of human life as consuming is—people want to produce, they just want it to be meaningful! They want to work on stuff that aligns with their own interests and beliefs. Ironically the people that claim that this isn't the case are probably the few that actually would prefer to never work (they want to keep wage labor in place so that they can extract capital from laborers while they relax and "lead" instead of produce themselves).

But "government gives me money" is how Jeff Bezos became the richest man in the world (lookup interstate commerce tax exemption). And "government gives me money" is how Elon Musk became the richest man in the world (both Tesla and SpaceX are running on government subsidies. Running as in they couldn't have grown without subsidies and can't maintain themselves without constant subsidies). "Government gives me money" is how Carlos Slim became the richest man in the world. And so on.

(btw: this is working on the assumption, if the government pays for a satellite launch, the government may get something, but it's still a subsidy. Even though SpaceX got plenty of subsidy too)

In fact, over the last century the mantle of richest man in the world has been worn by 12 people. In 7 cases it was a government that made them the richest man in the world. In 4 out of those 7 cases it was the US government.

That's disregarding that the military-industrial complex is full of rich companies that may not have conquered the very top spot, but are doing really, really well.

Getting the government to give you money, in the sense of sponsoring your business, has been THE path to incredible wealth.

Tombstone was a cultural icon in my fraternity house as we had a drinking game based around it. But Val will always be in my memory as the wild swordsman Mad Mardigan in Willow. RIP!

Every time Doc Holiday drinks you take a shot. Nothing less than 80-proof allowed. No other food or drinks allowed. You cannot vomit before the end of the credits. If you get through the whole movie you get to sign the house's Tombstone movie poster. With the director's cut I believe it was 21 shots total, with one or two of the scenes in the saloon what really push people over the edge because he drinks frequently in a short period of time.

I never even attempted it. We had one or two brothers who vomited during the credits.....FAIL! Ah good times.

My issue with using "text" is that I assume that a text like "I THINK I DO" should be converted to "I think I do", not "i think i do".

And that's just in English...

If "text" is in Greek, like "Καλημέρα", the upper form should be "ΚΑΛΗΜΕΡΑ", not a juxtaposition of upper() conversions of each letter.

For developers and founders in regions where international payments are restricted or capped, managing subscriptions, cloud services, and ad spending can be frustrating. Many of us have faced declined transactions when trying to pay for Starlink, Cursor, AWS, Google Cloud, GitHub, or even basic SaaS tools.

We’d love to hear your thoughts. What payment challenges have you faced in your region? Let’s discuss solutions.
Yes it does, all of this is to make Java fully safe by default, in the age of cybersecurity laws, hence all loopholes are being closed down, in reflection, JNI and Panama.
