>They also need developers creating content for the platform, which isn't happening either. Chicken and an egg there, though

It is, WP7 marketplace already has around 15,000 apps and is growing faster than the iPhone and Android stores at a similar stage.
I suspect it would be pretty difficult to run a company the size of Google without any closed software (e.g. Oracle Hyperion).
This seems very uncharacteristic of China. The residents of Beijing have been told by the government for years that if you don't absolutely need to be outside, then don't go outside. This is the first I've heard of China putting anything before growth.

Unrelated, but this gives me hope that they might crack down on counterfeiting soon.
Heartily agree! You're right, my comment wasn't clear, I only addressed the article author rather than noting the workplace is unacceptable for _everyone_ at the workplace :)
Which differential equations? The heat equation/option valuation doesn't seem to have such a possibility built into, right?
I do get the issues with onboarding/mentorship (as well as social) especially right out of school. I suspect that many companies are just trying to do business as usual rather than adapting. It's also worth pointing out that we're talking about remote during a pandemic. In normal times, there's nothing to keep teams from traveling to a location for a week. (Yes, some people have travel issues for various reasons but in general the statement stands.)
Tango with Django was by far the best resource I've used.

Two Scoops is more for people who have a django project already and want to learn best practices of django.
We’ve had several onboarded some right out of college since quarantine started and they are all doing well.

Bumping into people is actually a problem, but career progression is less so, as there is a lot more time for 1-1 mentorship, pairing, etc.

The bumping into people part can be solved though, especially with occasional in person events. We’ve had whole teams not located within our area and have worked with them just fine. Being noticed is also fine - people still give presentations, do launch events, and connect with others through managers, pms, etc.
I'm not sure why that would have to be a process though. When I worked in a bigger team, if anyone needed help they'd just ask a deskmate if they didn't look too deep in flow, or drop a message in slack.
> Do you live in Silicon Valley? Nice homes cannot be chosen close to work.

Nope. Largely for this reason. And when I'm in the Bay Area, I'm strategic about when I travel, to where and for whom.

My point is that the hesitance to go back to the office is not something fundamental. It's rooted in a variety of personal and environmental factors that can and do change. Targeting those factors, directly or indirectly, personally or through policy, has not been a conversation I've heard of.
Which is wrong, you can program in C++ and make thhose functions available in Blueprints too.
Programmers are horrible at guessing branch prediction.

Not for error cases like the ones described in the article.
Yep. When I read this, my first thought was, "Aren't they the same thing?" And then "That's dumb. I probably wouldn't take that job."
Nice idea, not so good execution.

I like geizhals.at for such things. The design is old school, but it lets me filter for things I care.

Smartphones example: Battery capacity, standby time, OS version.
Is there an algorithm that would find the minimum subset of these to cover every parasite/bug?
I like the verbosity of anon classes, they make sense. They look right in the debugger. Lambdas do not look clear they look like vodoo, I very much dislike them and wish they'd never been introduced.
So you tell them.

How do they know you've told them everything?
It's both amusing, and disheartening how something that silly (or possibly attempting to be silly) can continue to run out of control.

>So what the bishops discussed was the meaning of a word, not the substantial issue of whether women have souls.

This also feels very current. I'll use a word or phrase, someone will decide it indicates something I didn't say and I don't believe ... conversation is ruined. I accidentally used a phrase someone else used in a nasty meme and nothing can convince them otherwise. The rest of the conversation is all about that phrase now and what it means ... or even just how you went about / if you asked a question or not.
Just use the following code and you should be good!

unsigned average(unsigned a, unsigned b)
{
return (a >> 1) + (b >> 1) + (a & b & 1);
}
Much of those are free apps, and fewer than half of iPhone users use the App Store.
Don't be afraid to investigate the other frameworks as well. Both symfony and laminas have a lot to offer and tend to be less all-encompassing. Laravel is the right choice to get something simple from 0 to 60 quickly, but if you need to do complex things or integrate legacy systems it can be a lot more punishing.
I would add Workflowy to the list
Very good reasoning. To the best of my knowledge, no CTA, no nothing. Thanks!

Will continue negotiation convo tonight along the line of human-ness. Beep boop beep.
Startups will eventually have to stop giving out free VC money to acquire users. I think the user acquisition cost currently is way to high. Companies give away between $10-$25 (or $1000 for new drivers on Lyft) just to try their service. There are no major differentiators between many of them apart from free credits. Companies race to acquire users like how Groupon did in the coupon business when tens of clones popped up within days in multiple countries. There are many examples of these - I have no reason to stick with one service or have brand loyalty. As long as the service is within reason the cheapest one is the one I'd use.

At some point the incentivizing would stop after burning through a lot of cash - to show profits. At that very moment some other startup could begin giving out lots of free credits and users could very easily move.

That's when things could potentially come crashing down.
Just have a look at how they do testing (Simulation/Flow). It's amazing.
I kind of resent that comment. I sideload apps all the time, none of them are pirated. That stereotype just re-inforces companies attempts to lock down our devices and it kind of pisses me off to hear it constantly regurgitated.
Except that's a usability nightmare, and the majority of password field (annoyingly) won't accept a 30 char password.

I aim to use a short phrase that includes punctuation and a number if required, and to have the sentence be thematically linked slightly to the system I'm logging in to. This produces a long string that meets the criteria and is memorable by following the original train of thought from that led me to form the sentence. This I believe is "good enough" in all scenarios, since I should be able to type it quickly, and never write it down or share it.

The only remaining issues are max-length password fields and keyloggers (apparently a parabolic microphone can be used as a keylogger!)
Of course if the price surges someone is hurt, but there are 2 outcomes:
1. If the price surges and it's due to improper speculation, then speculators will lose a lot of money - sure, people will be temporarily harmed, but it will be short term.
2. If the price surges and it's due to a good guess, then the surge is actually less than it would be in near future since people were able to increase the available supply, by reducing consumption due to higher price.

-- unless I'm missing your point, which I very well may be.
It is a pretty blatant and unnecessary violation of accessibility standards, a longdesc wouldn't exactly be hard to add at least.
Hay! I try to use it on gopher?
HN is not Reddit. Please don't post these.
This isn't a hypothetical, such programs and dictionaries not only exist in the wild, but are easy to find.
If someone knows how this makes them 'more competitive' I'd be interested to hear it.
I'm not sure that self driving cars will solve the expense problem. Cars are incredibly expensive to buy, insure, drive and maintain. Sure self driving cabs will make some dent in the expense, but I'm not sure it will be cheap enough to make sense taking a self-driving cab to work five days a week.
Every tool that the author complains about serves a purpose and are optional. Using frameworks can help avoid the complexity of configuration too. https://asd.learnlearn.in/use-a-framework/
Not quite the same, but there's a product being developed to adapt M.2 2242 NVMe drives to Expresscard, the other hotpluggable PCIe standard. Most expresscard implementations are only a since lane of PCIe v2, though some of the new "P" series thinkpads support v3.
Being a single lane limits it compared CFexpress, but it's still a bump over AHCI drives.

Thinkpads up to 2013 also had a tool-less removable disk drive that allows for hot swapping 2.5" SATA drives in seconds while keeping them safe inside. This has been abandoned with the obsolescence of optical drives though.

> The CFexpress memory cards have a PCIe electrical interface, but they are mechanically identical with the older Sony XQD cards, i.e. they are solid, rugged, not flimsy like the SDXC memory cards

I agree, though with SDExpress becoming standard soon there is a much realler possibility of future laptops having pcie microsd slots, which might be good enough if you can find a durable model.

For what it is worth, I've also found that using VSCode for remote development to a RPi 3 and now RPi 4 to be really nice.

I have VSCode installed on a chromebook, and VS Code remotes into the RPi and everything just works really nicely for remote development using a local VS Code instance.

Say what you will about there being a MS repo in the raspberry pi OS (which I think is a huge overreaction - it is an OS designed for children & beginners to use, so if you are a power user who is bothered by this then simply try using something else or just disable it - end of story), VS Code has become so powerful and such a pleasure to use that I wonder how we managed to survive as long as we did banging stones together back in sublime text et al.

While I don't even use the same browser on different machines any more (mixture of chrome, firefox and edge across Linux, Win10, and ChromeOS), I only use VS Code on every machine. Its really great.

Good work RPi for making this happen.
I sympathize with both sides. It does frustrate me as well, but if the interviewers did that, people would stop agreeing to do interviews with them. It effectively prevents the interviewee from controlling the narrative, which is the only reason to agree to an interview in the first place.
Sorry to go off topic, but I couldn't help notice your 'Stories we have aggregated' seems to increase consistently each second, versus sporadically... Is this just a fake counter?
With HTTP2, the cost of making a request is incredibly low and almost.not worth optimizing for non blocking resources. Unless, you're loading hundreds of icons, you shouldn't notice that much of a difference.
We don't need a human-like AI to beat humans in the air. I can't imagine that the US doesn't already have a fully autonomous aircraft, and a virtual fully autonomous fighter jet waiting for the physical jet to be built, if that hasn't happened already. In any case, we wont be hearing about it for a while. It took seven years from first flight for the F117 to become public.
The problem is that everyone has opinions on social issues and humanities. Everyone can look at a public policy and say "That's a terrible policy" disregarding the work of experts who worked to balance many different constraints in the pursuit of some societal goal. It's the same as how anyone can look at a piece of art and say "That's terrible. My kindergarten son could have drawn that." and think their opinion is as valid as art critics.

As opposed to STEM where people generally keep to opinions only in their domains.

Now, you could say that this means proves that humanities are less rigorous and less worthy of respect, and that might take you so far. But ultimately the world is full of humans, and dealing with their habits, emotions, and motivations is not the work of biologists or chemists or physicists or mathematicians.

The challenge is that when a software engineer encounters a hardware engineer and they try to reach an understanding, there is an implicit baseline of respect, and if some terminology or phrasing doesn't fit one side, they default to assuming the term must mean something different in the other domain, and they ask for clarification.

When technologists on HackerNews encounter terms like privilege, justice, or exploitation from those in the humanities, they offer none of the same respect, and react to their own personal unstudied interpretation of the term.

Hey! Jon from Mux here. Curious about this comment:

> the business model won't tolerate the amount of video on someone else's service

Does that mean you aren't using S3/EC2 or the like, or is there something about how we've built our cloud platform that doesn't work for your business model? We've designed Mux to be a low-level primitive for video, like Twilio is for SMS, so I'd be interested if we're doing something that makes this harder for you.
I mainly only ever heard/said vee-eye, then somewhere along the way I came across vai (by the younguns mostly). Now I'm all mucked up and ending saying it either way when I only really want to say vee-eye
If you like stocks and are careful with the way you spend your money, you know how much time goes into buying shares of a stock. It’s tedious and I don’t have 24k for a Bloomberg terminal. Which led me to the idea during xmas break to spend the time creating my own terminal. I introduce you to “Gamestonk Terminal” (probably should’ve sent 1 tweet everyday to Elon Musk for copyrights permission eheh).

In summary, the Terminal (https://github.com/DidierRLopes/GamestonkTerminal) has 7 distinct menus:
- Discover Stocks
Top gainers; Sectors performance; upcoming earnings releases; top high shorted interest stocks; top stocks with low float; top orders on fidelity; and some SPAC websites with news/calendars.

- Market Sentiment
Scrolling through Reddit main posts, and most tickers mentions; Extracting stocktwit sentiment based on bull/bear flags; Twitter in-depth sentiment prediction using AI; Google mentions over time.

- Research Web pages
List of good pages to do research on a stock, e.g. macroaxis, zacks, macrotrends, ..

- Fundamental Analysis
Read financials from a company from Market Watch, Yahoo Finance, Alpha Vantage, and Financial Modeling Prep API.

- Technical Analysis
The usual technical indicators: sma, rsi, macd, adx, bbands, and more.

- Due Diligence
Some features are: Latest news of the company; Analyst prices and ratings; Price target from several analysts plot over time vs stock price; Insider activity, and these timestamps marked on the stock price historical data; Latest SEC fillings; Short interest over time; A check for financial warnings based on Sean Seah book.

- Prediction Techniques
The one I had more fun with. It tries to predict the stock price, from simple models like sma and arima to complex neural network models, like LSTM. The additional capability here is that all of these are easy to configure. Either through command line arguments, or even in form of a configuration file to define your NN.
So almost any strategy game. While at it consider banning all TV, books, etc that cover such themes too /s
Shorts aren’t timed. What could happen is that holders call for shares back. However, that didn’t happen at GME@$500 so I doubt it will happen here.
Haha, I'm not a ghost, but if I can be half the coder _why was, I'll be happy.
FWIW, I sat in on some of his lectures on distributed sensor networks and thought he was great.

Even if he wasn't, he gave up his tenured faculty position to hack full time at Google (IIRC, less than a year after getting tenure). See http://matt-welsh.blogspot.com/2010/11/why-im-leaving-harvar... for some background.

Naturally, this could be a clever PR campaign - and I would be more suspicious, apart from it appearing in this edition of the Economist :

The Christmas Economist is a special two-week version : the content of a regular issue makes up about 50%, the other 50% consists of special multi-page articles written by staff writers when the urge took hold (but were too long to put into a regular edition). This is somewhat akin to Google's 20% time : The writers are given an opportunity to publish pieces that they've written for the love of writing.

Of course, this could be my own rose-coloured glasses (I've been a religious Economist reader for 15 years).
Yeah, I completely see what you mean. That's pretty much what I meant by "abstract ambition" in my original post. I feel like I've spent a fair bit of time building modules that are generic enough to be the basis for a few different apps, but the whole doesn't yet do anything specific well enough.

That's why I felt like I need to release this sooner rather than later. It would be appealing to go on polishing the app for an imaginary customer who happens to be just like me (my other application, Conduit Live, went down that drain)... But it's healthier to face criticism and try to figure out if there's some potential customer group(s) out there that I didn't anticipate.

FWIW, I feel like there might be something interesting to be done in the intersection between realtime graphics and video on the web. Flash has a lot of cool technology, but nowadays you need to be a coder to take advantage of the new stuff like Pixel Bender shaders or the Alchemy compiler -- Adobe seems to have "outgrown" the designer audience who originally made Flash a success, and I think that's a mistake.

Re: your points about Radi -- there's a big hole in the <canvas> publishing functionality currently, it doesn't export all keyframes. Sorry about that, I'm hoping to fix that ASAP. The keyframing UI is not very well thought out, and needs a lot more work. To make polygon shapes, choose "Draw Shape" from the toolbar and click away in the viewer. There's no exposed way to limit the shapes' visibility in the timeline either (internally there's a concept of empty keyframes same as in Flash, but it's not in the UI).
Maybe. "git has a hard cli" is a meme that's been around as long as git has. I've never found it to be particularly difficult.
It sounds like he didn't have enough time to accomplish all his duties as a professor.
lynda.com is pretty good.

some ppl rate the "pickaxe" book (google it)

other than that, read code, try stuff, experiment.
They screen Arabs every day. They screen people who speak Arabic every day. Why haven't we heard about the illegal arrest of any of those people? Because those people don't use the English words "bomb" or "terrorist" or "murder" in front of security screeners.

Glad you like it! Hope to see these in some production project soon.
Thanks for the feedback, selectout. We use the email address to lookup data we've indexed and return all the research you would be doing anyways. We'll never contact email addresses you send us or share them with anyone.
Yes, there is a lot of in-between.

There's also a big difference based on which side of the "no effect" zero point you're on. At least be marginally useful; if not, stay home.
CNN made a story out of something from Forbes, but what exactly isn't cited. Nor does it appear to be available online. Maybe it's print only.

Suffice to say there's not enough information to say anything definitively. It's not like Tim is paying for his nephew's college next week and then donating everything to charity. One could reasonable expect this to be in reference to his fortune when he dies. Not what happens next week.

But we don't know because all we have is a blog spam re-write of something we can't see.
Well I'm not going to name specific companies, but you know those international calling cards that are sold basically everywhere in areas with a large migrant work force? Those cards tend to use these discount VOIP networks.
> But 2008-11 was a formative experience for me, so maybe I'm just bitter.

Sounds like an interesting and potentially insightful story...
> Interestingly, if you say that Signal's funding is sketchy and it raised some eyebrows, that would be FUD (see sibling comment). But saying the same about Telegram encryption is for some reason perfectly fine and definitely not FUD.

> Shouldn't we have the same standard for all claims?

Huh? Telegram's protocol has been criticized by cryptographers for making specific "odd" cryptographic choices (see See https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/31418/signal-vs-t...). It's not FUD to bring that up.

However, it is FUD to imply something concrete based for vague, indirect reasons.
> And the fact is that humans can't reliably identify emotions from photographs, so there's zero chance for AI.

I believe there are a lot of examples of AI doing things that humans can't. Typically it's a matter of scale, but sometimes it's a matter of some correlations being beyond the basic capabilities of humans. I could be wrong, but I'm not sure that this is the best metric for whether AI could do something.
Several years back a previous employer bought us all Jabra 65 headsets. Can be connected via bluetooth or a little USB dongle (which is probably just bluetooth).

Best noise cancelling mic I've ever used. Someone can be talking right next to me and nothing will go over the mic except my voice talking directly into the boom.

Down side is you have to have the boom directly in front of your mouth; not slightly below or above.
yes that helps a lot, a toc on the side will be even better but toc hyperlink is good enough for now. Thanks!
> This one-page format using "concept" -> "example" -> "reasoning" is fantastic

I agree, but I don't think that's happening here. It's documenting C++ "Concept" which is the technical name for a certain part of the C++ language.

It's a great article though.
