Some kind of external 'work' is necessary. War is the easiest form of such work, easiest meaning requiring the least momentum to get a society behind it. I would love to see us go to war on climate change, but that's not like

Axum is a great Rust web framework. I am still learning it, but I was able to create a REST API with it quickly. I'm looking forward to using the new version without the generics issues, as I ran into that problem myself. I can't

This is a complicated problem I see pop up on HN every once in a while, in different forms. I think there is neither an easy solution, nor a simple one. Each culture is different, but many people now see 'free' and don't thin

Sometimes as an engineer we think of things only in terms of engineering. A tool isn't limited to a chisel, or a linter. Other types of tools include algorithms, economic theories, coping mechanisms, and strategies. When I think of a t

I would say it's not speaking against the intel agencies. The intelligence community protects us from many threats (terrorists, foreign organized crime, etc.). However, they are human, and make mistakes in the name of self-preservation

Agreed, and it's worse than not just getting your consent. They will likely make money and patents off of some of those DNA. There are many examples out there of people doing that with cells from tissue, here is one from https:/&

This is a good list, though it has some redundancy, I think it can be boiled down to a de-prioritization of ethics and a prioritization of greed. It's also not just in the tech sector. I see that in finance, entertainment (look at the

My dad was a professional writer who wrote for everyone from Time Life Books to the National Enquirer. He picked up several of the early Osborne computers, with Wordstar, and used Wordstar until he passed (I also got an Osborne out of that,

This is a dupe, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31601472 , from 2022. Also, whether you support Israel as defending themselves, or consider Israeli actions a form of genocide, language matters. By using the term Apa

Yes, spontaneous things can happen when in person. Many of those spontaneous things are time sucks and not productive. Remote work has so many things going for it, it does not make sense to me to use a different model. Commute time is elimi

I'm all for an 80% week. In my career I've known six people who suffered burnout, one of whom committed suicide. Too many corporations push our IT and devs too hard, then replace them when they get used up. I don't see the U.

It's even worse in defense consulting. - I've seen people billed at 2x salary because overhead includes work area cost, management chain cost, passthrough percentage, etc.). None of that overhead is likely to be at 80%. - Defense

An amazing woman, and a sad story we still see repeated today. I'm reminded of the story of a Wiccan in S.C. who had some neighborhood punks shooting into her home's windows from the street. When she called the cops they asked &#x

I haven't used XML is a long while, but there was a trick I had when I designed schemas, back when I did use XML all the time. Use an attribute if the data is a primitive String, number, or boolean. Break into multiple attributes if th

This is one of those questions that is hard to answer, such as 'Which is better Java or Python?'. As usual, the answer it 'it depends'. More specifically, it depends on your situation. I would suggest creating a 3 year v

I wonder if this will cause an interest in in Faraday Cage walls: outer wall sheetrock with a copper wire mesh support, with a ground to prevent re-radiating. You'd also need to have the same mesh on the house roof and attic walls. Cop

Is the marginal user marginal though, in terms of marketing? Put another way, could you put a filter in place to bar marginal users and still have a commercially viable product without prices too high? I'd think the answer is yes, but

Amateur opinion, but President Nixon was president in 1971, and I wonder if a lot of it is increased greed primarily due to two things. This increased greed also manifests as more short-term thinking. To paraphrase Fast and Furious, "I
