I mean, my job title is currently "Full Stack Software Engineer" and I manage to get by only writing Typescript. Yes I have to do all of the things mentioned in the article: React, CSS, AWS, Docker, Databases, etc. We do a lot of greenfield so I'm the one setting these things up.

But it's basically all in the web paradigm. I don't have to work on mobile apps or drivers or something. So I think "Full stack" isn't really a good descriptor. I'm more so a "Web developer" than anything. Which is complicated, yes, but if you were a mobile developer your world would be completely different and have its own software ecosystem.
I don't mind hints as much but what really sours me on a program is when it simply makes automatic edits to what I typed.
"Draw a wine glass filled to the brim with wine" worked recently on image generators. They only knew about half-full wine glasses.

If you asked a multimodal system questions about the image it just generated, it would tell you the wine was almost overflowing out of the top of the glass.

But any trick prompt like this is going to start giving expected results once it gets well-known enough.

Late edit: Another one was the farmer/fox/chicken/cabbage/river problem, but you modify the problem in unexpected ways, by stating, for example, that the cabbage will eat the fox, or that the farmer can bring three items per trip. LLMs used to ignore your modifications and answer the original problem.
> It is a problem for greenfield projects too. Not everyone has sufficient expertise to be fully compliant from the beginning

Saying it's complicated because of missing experience or knowledge is like saying creating a CRUD application is difficult. Yes, it might be difficult if you've never done it before, but that doesn't mean the thing itself is complicated, just that you potentially lack experience.

Instead, I'd say it would be complicated if it's hard even if you have experience and knowledge about it. And for GDPR and safely storing data, it isn't difficult in a greenfield project if you have experience with it.

> but current implementation is adding extra to an already high bureaucratic workload

As someone who've helped SMEs become GDPR compliant, in terms of engineering, there really isn't a high bureaucratic workload unless you were already very careless with how you stored data. For the ones who considered how personal data was stored for more than half a second, becoming GDPR compliant was mostly about confirming things rather than having to shift things around.

Few companies though, had huge problems as they 1) were revenue dependent on selling user data or 2) never considered how they were storing or protecting personal data at all.

If you're speaking from the experience of those last companies, then again I think it works as expected.

Sorry to hear about your traumatic encounter. Was this all after Trump's ICE enforcement changes? In any case, if you haven't already started this already, there are certainly US law firms that would love to take your case pro-bono, as in the US the government foots the bill for compelled medical exams unless the person was later found guilty. Also, the US Fourth Amendment requires warrants to be issues before searches except in exigent circumstances, so it was either exigent -- and a warrant wouldn't be legally required, or is an illegal warrant. This case sounds like it be a legal goldmine for you and your legal representative, especially now with all the public light being shed on invalid detainment.
The US could have taken its king dollar and immense credit to fund a technological paradise. But it instead funded stupid wars and bailed out giant banks. This is a problem entirely created by oneself.

The biggest reason is that pricing is not part of local culture. Politics is.

To take this a step further, it doesn't matter where you enter the country, even if it is a place where the people are generally nice and specifically sympathetic to tourists getting detained, the first person you're dealing with is an LEO at border control & they are all following the same orders. They appear to be going out of their way to look for reasons (on your cell phone, tattoos, etc.) to send you back home. God forbid you have a run in with another cop after you've entered the country...

Having grown up in the same era, not being afraid of breaking things was crucial. I remember doing roughly the same things - being bored in class and going through the entire start menu.

I remember adults being very apprehensive about messing about with things. I didn't have the same(perhaps learned) aversion to playing with the settings of something. To some degree, I wonder if this was a learned behavior from an earlier era where it was _much_ harder to just reset something and try again.
Would you say that the atom bomb project was held hostage by a couple of technical physicists?

Neat. But to be clear: my complaint was the rude and dismissive attitude, not the substance.
Is that an practical issue? I imagine you wouldn't interact with the tax office anyway as you fill the taxes them electronically and as for the judicial system, you are going to need an Estonian lawyer anyway.

Genuinely asking. Wondering if someone has experience doing business in Estonia. It looks pretty nice in the prospectus so would love to hear what the reality is.

Resume driven development is the flip-side to stagnating compensation that falls below market rates over time. If an engineer knows they will have to look for a job every so often they will try to bolster their resume in an attempt to differentiate themselves from all of the other applicants.

Hall effect sticks have been around since the 1980's. Definitely not new tech. The reticence to adopt probably comes primarily from avoidance of higher initial costs, and the desire for planned obsolescence. Paying a premium for more reliable electronics more often than not translates to less profits in the long run.
Nice question.

We were certainly aware of Intentional Programming. And indeed, Glamorous Toolkit does have a language workbench underneath with which we can create editing experiences for various technologies.

But we started from the "reading" part of software engineering not from the "writing". That's because "reading" the system occupies the largest amount of development effort and it's the least optimized activity. Through contextual tools we can improve it manyfold. And this, it turns out, leads to a new way of "writing" as well. We call it Moldable Development.

I've been on here long enough to see it with every tech hype cycle in the past ~20 years. Self driving cars, VR, bitcoin, then generically 'crypto', web3, now AI/LLMs, probably a lot I'm missing right now... It's funny how the optimist control the narrative in the beginning then the pessimist start chiming in around the time the hype starts to vaporize. The AI/LLM cynicism is rising right now it seems.
Everyone's rights are severely curtailed at border crossings.
My earliest "programming" attempts were when I was seven years old. I would delete lines of basic from a simple game called Dungeon on our Commodore Pet to see what would happen. Obviously most of the time it just broke, but I did get some interesting effects, such as the dungeon becoming one big room instead of rooms and passages, or all the monsters becoming the same type. Those changes fascinated me and began an interest in learning more about basic so I could understand better why these things were happening, and off I went from there.

(Hey, neat, here's a browser based version of the game: https://www.commodoregames.net/CommodorePET/Dungeon-86.html)
Bold claim! Let's see what that 25% is. I guarantee it is the portion of the exam which is trivially answerable if you have a stored database of all previous math exams ever written to consult.

Hi HN, as part of my academic career I'm searching for an internship for the next academic semester (starting in September).

I am extremely enthusiastic about cyber security and open source software. I've conducted 2 full company pentests and acted as a cyber security advisor for a few small startups. I am currently preparing to get my CEH certification which I'll obtain in the following months.

I'm exited to meet people from my field and would love to connect even if it's just for networking!

Thank you for reading.

What happens when an antimatter camera comes into contact with normal matter?
I have contacted multiple attorneys including the one of Ashley Cervantes who had a nearly identical case (almost all same facts except she was vaginally raped by finger of doctor) who lost. They all said they do not take these kind of cases as they are too difficult to win. Cervantes IIRC still owes that bill as well.

If it were normal police I think you would be right but federal / CBP it is effectively impossible to overcome. One of the big things they do is play jurisdiction fuck-fuck games, if you start to win in federal court the judge will find a reason why it should have been in the state court and vice versa. The other thing they did in say when I lodged a complaint to the nursing board was they just played flip flop games that it was a police search when I complain of illegal health care, but when you complain the police search is illegal it gets shifted to just being health care, so they just flop a catch 22 to avoid being responsible for either.

Instagram and Facebook, at least, will compress a 4K video down to 360p if it doesn't get any views for a couple of months. So, there are some mechanisms to degrade the crap.

Which historical documents are you referring to? Are you talking about the Declaration of Independence, which doesn’t mention free speech, nor define what natural rights are, nor provide any protection from any governments when asserting natural rights?

I’m talking about the First Amendment, which does mention free speech. That’s a law and not a natural right, which you already know since you quoted it above. Additional laws and court decisions have defined what the free speech protections are, and what types of speech are not protected by law.

The important thing to know about free speech in the US is that because it’s a legal right, it comes with legal protections from the government itself.

The important thing to know about natural rights is that they don’t come with any protection whatsoever, because they are not laws or legal rights. Asserting natural rights may come with consequences that include violence, imprisonment, or death. Indeed, the Declaration of Independence was asserting the natural right to start a war against oppressive government, specifically to justify breaking with British colonial rule. If there are no legal rights protecting you, the government is under no obligation to respect your perceived natural rights.

They do reap what they sow. The automotive industry is a victim of its own stupidity. They lobbied for features until the cars became so expensive that nobody buys them.

Is this really true? I'm in the US, and have a corporation in the US. I am shielded from liability through the corporate veil, but I also have a $50/mo $2M/incidence liability umbrella. I honestly have no idea if either are necessary, in 20 years of "doing business" I've never had a single liability needing to be covered by insurance or the veil.

I think it's wise to have, just in case, but even in lawsuit happy America where I have had to fire multiple clients mid-project due to various reason. I've never had blowback or even the treat of a suit. We all just went our separate ways.

When you've been saying the same thing for the last 40 years, and seeing the same responses, more often than not made by people who don't understand where this all comes from, and which do not really counter what you're saying, you'd be rude and dismissive - especially whith the dogma that surronds the "UNIX philosophy", which, in case you aren't aware, wasn't actually put forward by anyone heavily involved with UNIX development. Some empathy with the protagonist whould help.

I have no specific knowledge of the Domino database format, but extrapolating from my knowledge of database storage formats in general: the database file almost certainly contained data structures of fixed size. Many of the fields in these data structures likely contained offsets to other data structures, such as an index that contains the offsets of each item. Fixing the size limit would require migrating to a new file format with different data structures. Migrations are always hard to sell to customers and a ripe opportunity for data corruption, and horizontal sharding can solve the same problem while also addressing other scalability and reliability issues.

The state of the art (not just for BYD) is to make sure you don't have to charge a cold battery by getting it to the right temperature before charging. One of the reasons that Tesla (and others) has navigation integrated into trip planning integrated into the vehicle is so that the battery temperature can be optimized in the 10 minutes before you start charging, to maximize charging speed.

BYD would not pump 400 kW into a battery at -10 C. This research helps in the situation where you have a cold battery, and need to start charging it before it can warm up.
