Some pretty flimsy evidence…

Indeed. See Ann Reardon's recent video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVaYJgmPvCg
Yes? But you can't tell them you "programmed it directly in binary", even if that's the delivery mechanism they're interacting with.
I think you're missing the value of rubber-ducking with the chatbot on a fairly well-defined/well-known problem in a somewhat specific/novel scenario—this is the vast majority of software development being done today.

Depending on the situation this can be invaluable. If you're experienced in the domain you probably know generally what you need to do but you might get a better result by reasoning through the best solution with the constraints and requirements you have. Or maybe you missed something obvious when you write out the full context—which is a required step for getting a good output from the chatbot, and generally isn't a required step if you aren't explaining your approach to someone else and you don't want to be rigorous.
If we consider number of jobs, it's probably on par with Rust.

It doesn’t even have to necessarily be intentional lying. It is a strongly held belief that regulations are unfair and close businesses. Even many of those in favor of them think of them more as a bitter pill than as something that’s a genuine good. So everyone involved can just think “well if we do anything about this we’ll be out of jobs” and nothing will be done.
We for sure are (and you can see the roles differ between months). Why would you say we're not? Also feel free to email me.

I think the problem in a nutshell is that it's not trivial(?) to build an executable on a modern Linux distro that links against an old glibc version number (and if it is trivial then it needs to be better communicated).

It is actually quite trivial when building with the Zig toolchain since you can simply append the requested glibc version to the target-triple (e.g. `-target aarch64-linux-gnu.2.xx`), but I think this doesn't work with regular clang or gcc (makes one wonder why not when Zig can pull it off).
just an example of bureaucracy at work.

this what happens when you centralize all decision making to people who have no local knowledge of the community they are administrating, and predicate their jobs on following a checklist, usually as implemented by buggy software, instead of making a judgement call based on experience and circumstances.

We make a Configure-Price-Quote SaaS for complex product portfolios. For example, one customer is Tetra Pak, that sells machines that build packaging (milk, juice, etc). These machines are like a two-story building with many variations, every aspect has to be well-defined and validated before it's ordered.

In our solution products can be modeled in detail with constraints, and during a sale options are chosen and validated, often visualized parametrically, pricing is done, and a quote is prepared. All based on the well-defined model.

It's a 30-year old company that started as a research startup, grew organically, and has a stable customer base. After a recent acquisition it's aiming to grow, therefore many positions are open. I started working here just a year ago, but I can say the work environment is healthy and relaxed, lots of competent people and everyone I interacted with so far have been very nice and professional.

Why not VS Code with Ionide? It’s quite nice.
This is really cool. It seems to me LLMs and books are a match made in heaven. An LLM query is more useful than a google search for most text.

Twine and other interactive fiction engines provide this to some degree, though I think Cyan’s visual aesthetic is also intrinsic to the feel of the games.

This seems...a very contrarian sentiment. Imho while C might lead you to create slightly fragile code once in a while, Rust is something like two orders of magnitude more complex.
I think "avoiding bias" is as non-sensical as a general concept as "fighting terrorism".

Bias is inevitable. You can avoid a specific bias - several even - but avoiding all biases is impossible as the mere decision of what data to include or exclude and how to present them will already introduce bias regardless of any bias that may already present in the data itself.

An obvious example of this is in "serious" journalism where apparently even in the absence of an obvious or explicit editorial bias there seems to be a widespread idea that when reporting on statements made by public officials and such it is "good journalism" to present them without any judgement on their factuality, not even by contrasting them with their context. Even if this has the negative effect of indicating to the reader by implication that a clearly incorrect claim is correct because it appears alongside genuine attempts at factual reporting without any indication of contradicting it. Presumably the ideological justification is that an educated reader will deduct from the facts presented whether the statement is correct or not, which of course completely ignores everything we know about propaganda and psychology (let alone media literacy).
“ instead of actually doing some real work.”

Doing real work is for suckers. Talking about it is where the real money is.
But voters would decide how much the embezzlement continued to matter, after she had already served time and paid a large fine. That would be the actual democratic outcome. Letting the people choose, as opposed to taking away their choice.

You, on the other hand, are presenting Marine Le Pen as a threat to democracy, presumably because you don't like the far right. But you're just one voter. Why not trust the electorate? Voters chose Giorgia Meloni and I don't see Italian democracy falling apart.

I'm not far right at all. I'm not even right. But I worry it's dangerous and will backfire to take choice away from an electorate because of some misuse of funds (that didn't benefit herself financially) that she is already being heavily punished for at a personal level. She's being punished. Voters shouldn't be by taking away their right to choose.
There is one thing that could make this insanely valuable. The bad news is that this thing is outside your control: No phone that I know of ships with a LoRa chip. Though to be fair, the only reason why LoRa (and by extension LoRaWAN and Meshtastic) are reliable and robust is precisely because they are not common at all.

You should travel around the world (or even your own country) a bit more. There is a lot of such people in various cultures and places, but you won't see them if living in any sort of success bubble (ie SV).

One of main reasons communism always failed - it never took this basic human nature into account, rather working with some idolized Star trekkish human with strong desire to work on bettering oneself and society, incorruptible, not selfish at all and so on.
Once you have deported someone it makes sense that they would no longer be under your jurisdiction. Purely logically: they're no longer within it.

The term "vibe coding" gives me bad vibes, I feel that it is in some way an insult to my craft, the way a carpenter might feel about Ikea. But if only LLM's are going to read the code, the LoC aren't a big problem, increasing cost significantly less than if a real person would have to read it.

The two biggest issues I can think of with this approach is performance and security, with the first one only being a problem if you "make it", and the second one being too often ignored with or without vibe coding.

Here’s one UK datapoint from a few years ago:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/15/wood-bur...
Here's an actual case I ran into with JSON and it's bizarre number treatment:

Neo4j uses 128 bit ids. The JSON API retrieves these ids as strings of digits, Python library reading this JSON decided to interpret these as double precision floats. And sometimes it works, other times: not so much...

The whole selling point of configuration formats is to allow multiple languages to access the same data. So, cases when multiple languages have to read the same configuration format are exceedingly common.

The fact that the format supports other types means that someone (probably not you) will use those types, and then (probably you) will have to deal with the mess created by that person. I don't trust programmers in general to write good code... if possible to prevent them from writing bad code, then why not?
So they aren't white Anglo-Saxon protestants at all. They just are white? Just say white then...
Absolutely not. I enjoy my craft, why let something do it for me, and do it worse?

Trying to make oneself into the unquestionable authority isn't questioning authority.
Simply being prosecuted maliciously without evidence is enough to ruin one’s life. It’s not a matter of illegal or legal.

With the ability to identify perceived enemies of an administration, this weapon can be leveraged against anyone saying entirely legal things that the administration doesn’t like.

It’s not alarmism, it’s simply realpolitik.
What the hell is the "cooking book scene"? You make it sound like some cabal of cooking book writers sitting in some basement, conspiring to lead people astray. Nobody is saying that all cooking books are great, of course there are loads of shitty cooking books, and of course you are free to criticize that, even openly if you dare. I somehow cope by buying the good ones.

My experience with LLM recipes is like with pretty much everything else these things generate: usually very mediocre, mixed with glaring errors in between. If you are an experienced cook, you'll be able to manage since you'll recognize the errors.
So much continual effort wasted when for over 20 years we've had XML.

XML still works well as a configuration format.

Is it verbose? Very much so, but it ticks all the boxes:

- No ambiguity

- Typed

- Quick to parse

- Has Schemas that allow validation

- Widespread tooling support

All we needed was for applications to publish their XML schema files and any XML tool could allow for friendly editing.

If you go by the Marriam Websters definition of fascism this is getting pretty close.

> Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition
Show HN: Jobstical – A Tool for Job Seekers
Hello community,

In 2022, I was among many engineers affected by tech layoffs. Looking for a new job was nasty; on top of the general feeling of dread, I could not find a tool that would have the sense of "this is simple like dealing with a spreadsheet" while talking to dozens of companies.

So I decided to work on my own.

I refined the idea (and, quite frankly, procrastinated on top of it) for the next two years. This year, I finally put it out there for the world to see.

Jobstical is based on two simple concepts: positions (the jobs you're applying for) and stages (the various stages of a recruiting process). I don't try to be fancy; I try to offer the minimum set of features that offer value. Also, I'm not trying to sell my product as an "AI tool"—it will have resume-generating capabilities, and so far, that's it.

Jobstical is a work of love and enthusiasm by a solopreneur. I used Golang for the backend, Deno Fresh for the front end (and Cursor as my front-end engineer). Please give it a spin. I'm excited to see what you think of it! I expect many things to break, but that's part of the fun!
The only issues I've had with OCaml's build system is using "ocamlopt", "ocamlbuild", "ocamlfind" manually, but this was solved by OASIS and now Dune. I don't need to think about it. It automatically compiles when I save the file in Emacs. Very easy to set it up (one time setup).
That's why you should select your PhD advisor very carefully.

I think this shows the worst part of HN. You can have thoughtful and interesting discussions 100+ comments and wider. But when a few people are triggered, they feel that they want to ruin the discussion for everybody else. Whereas they could have closed the tab, and move on.

No clue how to solve it at a wider scale. For me? I just don't engage in topics I don't care about. No need to force my views on others.

Update: it took 5 minutes for this article to also be flagged. Sigh.
The word kafka-esque was inspired by German bureaucracy. Making an appointment to make an appointment sounds exactly like that.

I once queued in at the local council in Berlin for a guy that handed out numbers for the machine in the waiting room. When your name comes up, you go to the assigned room for whatever you needed (something related to my registration if I remember correctly). All the guy did was push a button and hand out a number. So you queue to start queuing. Very nice guy and friendly. But also one of the most pointless jobs I've ever seen.

Somebody later explained to me that they invented jobs like this to keep otherwise completely redundant former DDR civil servants in some kind of job. They had way too many of those and they were kind of very unemployable in a city with very high unemployment (at the time). It's literal busy work that they invented to avoid having to fire the person. Besides, being a civil servant is an iron clad job for life in Germany. So firing wasn't an option to begin with.

A German DOGE wouldn't be a bad thing at this point. Maybe do it without all the hyperbole and libertarianism. But the CDU that just won the election did actuall campaign on the notion of Germany being crippled by its own bureaucracy. Which of course the CDU helped create for the many decades they've been in power (almost on stop since WW II). The last four years were one of only two (I think) exceptions to that.

About: Making software for 30+ years.. Seen quite some things.. and Attitudes. Always hands-on.

Looking for a role of Mentor, Principal or Staff Engineer, Architect, CTO, co-founder, team lead.. or very senior programmer.. No fluff. Full-time or part-time a-la Fractional. Need someone to analyze that legacy stack? Listen in a heavy-tech meeting? Hack that thing? Possible. i have a week-long crash-course in Python, 100 people been through it. Apart of coding-et-al, interested in mentoring - personal and team, newbies or not - as playing trainer - in the team and project, OR consulting / advising, how to do things better (Last gig did tech-pitching for a scaleup - which was acquired). OR.. just DO interesting work with interesting people. i love Fiddling with things.. anyway will still code stuff.. But no politics, plz.

IMO The interesting part of making software, is the people, while technicals.. are solvable. And, Fun is the important 4th factor in the Trinity of functionality-quality-deadline.

May relocate anywhere to stay with the team, as IMO "remote" does not work for any knowledge-or-culture -building activities.
Real Genius is a great film in many ways, marred only by the assumption that a military laser is a bad thing to be working on — I always thought that it would be neat to do. But the characters are great, a ton of the plot is great. It’s worth watching! In a lot of ways the later film PCU (also fun) ripped off a ton of the same plot points.

Now, where can one find the review the film deserves? This is definitely not it.
To be fair to Jefferson, he supported the eventual emancipation of slaves and the end of slavery, was strongly opposed to the international slave trade (he banned it) and freed some slaves. His stated reason for not doing more sooner was that he thought it would bring about immense unrest. And of course it did, in the end. The bloodiest war in American history.

> Second: the fact that a neologism is sometimes decoupled from its theoretical underpinnings and is used colloquially is a feature, not a bug. Many people apply the term "enshittification" very loosely indeed, to mean "something that is bad," without bothering to learn – or apply – the theoretical framework. This is good. This is what it means for a term to enter the lexicon: it takes on a life of its own. If 10,000,000 people use "enshittification" loosely and inspire 10% of their number to look up the longer, more theoretical work I've done on it, that is one million normies who have been sucked into a discourse that used to live exclusively in the world of the most wonkish and obscure practitioners. The only way to maintain a precise, theoretically grounded use of a term is to confine its usage to a small group of largely irrelevant insiders. Policing the use of "enshittification" is worse than a self-limiting move – it would be a self-inflicted wound.
