> The US format is indeed awful but so is the European one really

There are many different European formats, some countries even use (a slightly modified version of) ISO-8601, ex. in the Nordics.
It may also have to do with why game companies in the US pay coders, testers and artists lower wages than non game companies. Game companies have "sold the dream" of working at a game company. Riding on a razor scooter, eating free snacks, wearing a hoodie while earning a subscale wage for the same work and longer hours during "crunch time". Executives and producers make the lions share because the above people's dreams are easily manipulated, not unlike the Anime industry in Japan.
This is a pretty big deal. One benefit it gives is it's much easier to write code evaluated at compile time. Most Rust libraries use generics, so if you use a library, compile time support isn't usually available. By adding support for const generics compile time support can become widespread.
The country should be called Esperantonia
Yeah, it looks like the script doesn't handle the . to www. redirects. I've fixed them all up (hopefully) and a few scores have changed.

I just recently noticed some- Jimmy John's uses the stripe Verifone reader and Toast tablets use the BBPOS Chipper (but this may not be thru stripe). These readers are "stripe-compatible," but not exclusively for stripe.
Those two things don’t really go together well, unfortunately.

If you’re dead set on only buying one, go with a durable “cinewhoop” like a Diatone Taycan. It’ll likely survive the abuses can carry a GoPro or RunCam, and will be useful if you decide to go deeper in the hobby. Otherwise I recommend starting with a “mini whoop” like a BetaFPV 2S Pro or a Mobula8.

Realize that you also need goggles and a radio (controller). Those will set you back $400 and $200 respectively if you’re trying to “buy once cry once”. If you’re seeing if you’re into it, the BetaFPV 2S Pro “RTF” (ready to fly) kit is a good introduction, as is the Emax Tiny Hawk 2.

If you’re interested in getting into the hobby, let me know and I’ll get you my contact information so we can chat.

They certainly had made withdraws within months. Here is a random address receiving payments from MTGox (the ones with the 0.001 fees) https://blockchain.info/address/1AacEsKeXqnUqtYQWKDHJV3JtpJk... if the API were still up I'd show you how to query the vin scrippubkeys to have mtgox themselves identify the txn as theirs— but it's not up now.
My experience with Light Table isn't that fortunate, even moving the cursor through some lines feels sluggish and not great.
Big companies tend to go a little beyond just making a living. The doctor and support staff at that level are working with patients.

At a larger company, you have swathes of employees detached from the customer and focused on the numbers. I think that's probably where the empathy for customers can become unstuck.
What makes it even more insulting is that, I do the assignment, and still no interview.

If you give a programming assignment, then you should at least have the decency to give an on-site interview to everyone who gives a solution that compiles and runs and gives the correct answer. That's why I usually refuse to do them now.

Not only am I spending a couple hours on someone I never met, the conversion rate is so low that I'm convinced it's a waste of time.

Also it's insulting. You're asking me to waste a couple hours of time for the privilege of maybe getting a chance to talk to you? When "maybe" turns out to be "almost never", I've really soured on the pre-interview programming test.

> You're either a scab or you're not; that's definitional, not rhetorical.

No, I'm an unaffiliated potential worker. Scab is a derogatory term. It's not surprising unions are losing support with that attitude.

You're thinking you have a right to the job and that by not supporting you I'm taking it away. You don't though and from my point of view a union is a threat of violence (try crossing a picket line) and is one tiny step away from domestic terrorism. You're demanding to take a job that could be mine but you're not willing to negotiate to win it. Turning a free-market opportunity for me into a political struggle where I'd need to win my way into the 1000 through your support. No thanks.

Every little thing Unionists do is about punishment and control, you can't even not downvote someone's honest opinion. Imagine if your job was controlled by such politics and you had to kowtow to the right opinions just to keep it.

There's a Lack of relevance outside our filterbubble.
Because it's totally irrelevant to someone who is not directly related, not to just programming but Github.

I'd like to ask back some questions:

1) What makes you think it's a worthy topic?

2) What makes you think China or any powerful group - not sure in what terms this group is supposed to be powerful - has anything to do with it?
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. One thing that has worked really well is to take 3' x 2' whiteboard, rip off the frame and place it flat on your desk. It is fantastic for when you are talking to someone at your desk and quick diagram would help. At first people thought it was weird but people have gotten used to it and gets doodled on all the time.

It's also good for reminders and phone messages.

Another cool success story out of Vancouver. Scaling up a business here would have been even cooler, but if you're going to be acquired, Twitter is a heck of a place to go. Congratulations guys!
It sounds like maybe you're right. When I saw this on the Google home page the first thing I did was move my mouse about to look for the 'disable background image' link. Then I went into my Search Settings. Then I thought it must be a joke. Not April. Google, again, against what I wanted, hiding the useful links until you move your mouse because users found them "distracting", are contradicting themselves 100% here. That is, if they really do do user testing, and weren't just bullshitting. Maybe they did that user testing with live users and I just wasn't online at that time. Maybe this is the same thing. They test it for a day to see people's reactions. That's good science but treating your users shittily if they can't opt out. So I'm wondering if maybe it is a coke classic.
Shouldn't there be some way to flag stories as "headline is obviously false"?
1. Caveat: the market can teach expensive unforgiving lessons. After you've read, learned and developed your own theories/strategies test them with practice and see if you're any good - consistently. Use a free service like vse.marketwatch.com or wallstreetsurvivor.com, or just pen and pad for several weeks/months before actually trading. This becomes more important depending on your level of aggression/risk.

2. Always define how much you're comfortable losing before trading. (time frames for entering/exiting trades helps too) The more you adhere to this the better you can control emotion-based trade decisions, and that equals money in this game.
Ah, but it is generally accepted wisdom that it takes 10 years to become really good at something.
Here in the UK, if you say it's all you have they just reply "I can stop by an ATM"...
The major news outlets openly have former CIA agents on their staff, people who still maintain secret clearance. Sometimes these outlets are called mainstream media, or corporate media. But in this context perhaps a better name is "state approved media". The state approved media isn't concerned that this is going to come after them. However, it will help clamp down in media that isn't state approved.
Yes, you can tell that someone is trying to make it sound bad by using the inflated 'trips' figure rather than number of drivers. This is mostly the fall out of political pressure from black cab drivers and their associations.

I'm certainly not keen on Ubers business practices, it's lacklustre approach to safety and poor record when it comes to employment regulations. However I think acceptance that the taxi industry has been changed forever will come eventually, these luddite challenges will eventually be forgotten and we'll all move on with our lives.

If we're lucky Uber will crash and burn and someone will pickup the baton, ideally in a more fair and sustainable way.
The only advantages are AVX512 and optimized Intel compiler/libraries now.

Typical competitive FPS shooter => Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, Pavlov, Onward

Dark Souls => Asgard's Wrath, Blade and Sorcery

Sekiro => Sairento VR, The Unbreakable Gumball

In fact, I'd argue the reverse is true: I haven't seen a single flat screen game which allows you the same natural freedom of movement as VR games like Echo VR or Windlands do. Full 6DoF controllers enable a lot of possibilities for movement that just aren't feasible with a keyboard+mouse or controller.

Largely depends why you ask? I get the impression that most people have taken this to be a pass fail type question in an interview and that’s where the contention is coming from.

My interviews are conversations to get to know you, your background, your professional interests, how you think about problems and how closely your resume lines up with those conversations. I like to get people talking about their work to see where their energy level goes.

When we start talking through a hypothetical data problem there are people who will describe the problem from the UX perspective, the app code perspective and the database perspective. The question prompts that portion of the conversation.
> Big Dig

just for some context:

> The Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T), commonly known as the Big Dig, was a megaproject in Boston that rerouted the Central Artery of Interstate 93 (I-93), the chief highway through the heart of the city, into the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) Thomas P. O'Neill Jr. Tunnel. The project also included the construction of the Ted Williams Tunnel (extending I-90 to Logan International Airport), the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge over the Charles River, and the Rose Kennedy Greenway in the space vacated by the previous I-93 elevated roadway. Initially, the plan was also to include a rail connection between Boston's two major train terminals. Planning began in 1982; the construction work was carried out between 1991 and 2006; and the project concluded on December 31, 2007 when the partnership between the program manager and the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority ended.

> The Big Dig was the most expensive highway project in the US, and was plagued by cost overruns, delays, leaks, design flaws, charges of poor execution and use of substandard materials, criminal arrests,[2][3] and the death of one motorist.[4] The project was originally scheduled to be completed in 1998[5] at an estimated cost of $2.8 billion (in 1982 dollars, US$6.0 billion adjusted for inflation as of 2006).[6] However, the project was completed in December 2007 at a cost of over $8.08 billion (in 1982 dollars, $14.6 billion adjusted for inflation, meaning a cost overrun of about 190%)[6] as of 2006.[7] The Boston Globe estimated that the project will ultimately cost $22 billion, including interest, and that it would not be paid off until 2038.[8] As a result of a death, leaks, and other design flaws, Bechtel and Parsons Brinckerhoff—the consortium that oversaw the project—agreed to pay $407 million in restitution and several smaller companies agreed to pay a combined sum of approximately $51 million.[9]

> Compilation time is terrible, I need something between 20 and 40 seconds for edit-compile-cycle (MacBook Pro 2016, i7, 16gb ram)

A trick available on newer releases of rustc is "cargo check", that stops the compilation before the code generation (which is the slow part). If all you need at the moment is to see whether it would compile (no syntax errors, no wrong types, no borrow check errors), it can help a lot.
Pretty much spot-on.
Perhaps to inform people about the goods and services that you offer that they might be interested in buying?
I played this game during orientation when I started my MBA at MIT Sloan (the game was originated at Sloan). In my second year, I facilitated the game.

The most eye-opening thing for me was that a good quarter of students were frustrated and surprised by the bullwhip effect. I'd guess the general population would be even less understanding of a bullwhip effect. I think that help explains why it seems so many people don't understand why it's difficult, even for the U.S. federal government, to create more supply of hand sanitizer, respirators, etc.

P.S. To be clear: I'm not suggesting the federal government isn't to blame for a lack of supply - we should have had a larger strategic reserve of pandemic mitigating supplies prior to the crisis, if only due to the risk of biological weapons (those preparations would have been just about as useful in a non-human-caused pandemic like COVID-19). Nor am I saying the government can't do more right now. The Beer Distribution Game merely helps partially demonstrate why manufacturers, suppliers, and the government (especially if they themselves understand the bullwhip effect!) don't instantly will pandemic supplies into existence.
Why? It makes it easy to share a sketch with someone else while still preventing the server from decrypting the data. Anything stored in a location hash (after the # symbol) does not get passed to the server.

The threat model the author tried to work around is not the user dumbly compromising their own work. The author wants to prevent proprietary and PII data from being stored on their own server. End-to-end encryption significantly reduces the author's potential liability hosting something like this in case something goes wrong.

I'd be interested to see Scala 3, my comments/opinions apply to Scala 2 only.
Choice of abstractions which suit your thinking is obviously subjective so some people naturally prefer TS or Scala.js or PureScript over Clojurescript, (or whatever else over Clojurescript). However, the statement "you spent more time fighting integration with the JS ecosystem" is evidently not true. In my own experience you can do almost everything never leaving CJS realm, and when you need to combine it with existing JS code it will require some deeper understanding, but nevertheless goes pretty easy. Didn't downvote you btw
> So you concede that there may be elements to this disaster that cannot be quantified as such quantification is entropically impossible?

No, I'm quantifying it in terms of how much I'd want to see paid to avoid that outcome, or in terms of how much would need to be spent to "make it right" to my own satisfaction. There's nothing about such a quantification that is entropically impossible. Put another way, there's basically no possible outcome of this disaster that you could not pay me _some_ amount of money to endure. But the amount might have to be very high.

> Very often species form part of the larger ecosystem . . .

I agreed elsewhere that that would have to be taken into account when calculating the total cost.

> Aieeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaargh!

Yeah, that's pretty bad, right? Hopefully that is the worst case scenario, but I'm no biologist so I'd have to leave that to them. One of my friends tells me that oil does break down in water over time and that it is unlikely it would be that bad.

But even if that were to happen, life would go on, albeit worse than before. This account of the after affects of the gulf war spill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War_oil_spill) gives me some hope that although there will doubtless be great harm from this spill, it is not going to be the end of the world.

> cost/benefit arguments stated in dollar terms

OK, I see where you are coming from. I am entirely amenable to the outcome being that offshore drilling is not worth it given the extent of this disaster. Personally I think gasoline should cost much more than it does in the U.S. today, and that would go some way toward making that a reality. But I do want to look at it honestly.
In an interview they said that a major goal of Portal 2 is to keep it just as accessible as the first one. I won't be just a "more difficult Portal 1". And judging from the trailer and Gameplay videos, there will be lots of new mechanics (e.g. some kind of fluid dynamics).

They also said that it would be about twice as long as the first game. I'm not sure if I'd want that. I like short games and to me, part of Portals appeal and "replay value" is that you can easily play it in one sitting.

it's hard to show intellectual merit using the SAT, because the test isn't hard enough so people just max out the score. the 25th percentile student at MIT got 790/800 for the math section.

it definitely does make a difference for bright students who do unexpectedly well -- but it gets them into "merely" good schools not ultra-selective institutions like MIT.
A 32 is still 96th percentile, or a little better than "okay" for most Americans. In the future if you want to argue that ACT doesn't predict academic success it might be more effective to leave your own score and academic success out of it.
This is how I've done it.
The rest all demonstrably eat battery like it's free on every other platform? IDK, maybe Edge doesn't, but FF and Chrome sure do.

[EDIT] Let me put it this way: I see no reason to expect the FF or Chrome engines to perform better on iOS than they do on Android, especially since that's the closest to a "home" platform that Chrome has (ChromeOS aside).
I just looked at their feature list and "Team Inboxes" really stood out. Granted details matter, but g-suites doesn't even have a good solution to this problem, I can see this as being their bread and butter.
>Is this the case of someone guilty getting 25 years in jail for not wanting to snitch?

Maybe you can let us know about the facts you have at hand to make claims like these.
I think the option of being in-office does not have to be incompatible with having remote workers not be disadvantaged, but I think it might be the result of 'doing nothing', if that makes sense. The default option, if you will. Explicitly stating that remote workers are first-class citizens along with the infrastructure to make that come true I think is doable.
Is this article trying to say that jamming can be used to temporarily blank sensors without the controller realizing they have dropped off the system? If so, actually using this for practical nefarious purposes would still be fairly complicated, because you would need to have the system in a pristine state for x seconds every y seconds.

Well, for most of the folks that are regulars here, HN is still considered to have a pretty decent tone overall. There are tons and tons of counterexamples to your examples of "meanness" -- and, by the way, some of your examples of meanness seem to be conflated with angriness, and anger seems to be generally acceptable here.

The rest of your post comes off as licking your wounds over the response to your last article. That, or, more cynically, attempting to get the greatest possible mileage out of your job hoppers post.

That's right! I was so confused when I read the article, and being satisfied with getting just a 50% boost from using your home brew FFT, was somewhat disheartening.

That is truly like if you're happy that your implementation of quicksort is 50% faster than your insertion sort. It's just that bad of a result, that you really have to stop and wonder if perhaps you did it wrong.
