I spent an hour or so going through the about 1000 people listed as working at Magic Leap on Linkedin the other month. I had a wow moment back then. So many deeply unqualified people for something like this. I think the number whose subject areas could even be relevant to the development of the tech was like at most 20. Out of about a thousand.

Why not have a peek yourself?

https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?facetCurrent...

(I see 1062 people at the moment.)

The profiles of the rest of the people seemed like they were hired to create cool demos. So many graphics designers, motion designers, PR people, marketing people etc etc.
Pretty sure not serious.
You can get a faster initial load going with SSR since you're basically skipping a round trip. The really smart SSR's like Redfin's react-server (https://github.com/redfin/react-server) give you faster "above the fold" rendering too.

Also, while Google can deal with them, a lot of crawlers don't understand SPA's. So if someone links to you from Facebook for example, their auto content loading doesn't work.

Depends on what you call training. 250 hours under a private (no payment allowed) licence, then you get your CPL. All of this is on your dime (average about $200/hr with instructor and such). The CPL phase work afterward (banner flying, flight instruction, etc) pays like garbage since the GA community is struggling significantly. To do airline work, you need minimum 1500 hours (ATP), then pilots have a sort of residency beyond that where they need to spend a month in airline training, then years as a first officer before becoming a captain (PIC). On top of this, you have the regionals where you get payed like crap before you can typically get a seat at a major airline.
the medical cartel is very powerful...it is really a sort of extortion racket the doctor cartel has going on here in america...they suppress supply and thus increase their wealth....I say we use the fed govt to fund medical school construction in every third world nation and then import half the grads...supply and demand...demand and supply...that law never dies..

The difference between UL and a automobiles and drugs is that it's obvious if an electronic product or automobile works. It's very hard to tell if a drug works--and most don't.

Nutraceuticals are a great example of the problem: they're safe because they're bogus and don't do anything. But because they're not regulated people waste tons of money (and suffer because they don't take drugs that do actually work). The
Is this based on benchmarks? I don't have any, but I can do a clean compile of 8000 java classes (> 2 million lines) in 3 minutes on my underpowered Mac mini.

I wouldn't expect Rust would ever be as fast to compile, even if it weren't a younger language, because Rust is doing compile time optimization that Java defers until runtime. And that's ok: there may be times what Java does is better, but there are also times it's worse.

tl;dr Federal health spending is the limiting factor.

Question: Why do we need the government to fund residents? The fact that every single going-to-be physician must do so through government funding boggles my mind.

On top of that, depending on the number of hours worked, many residents barely make minimum wage.
It's full of people who can't be bothered to do even the most trivial investigation into their own damn bugs - the same trivial "I didn't configure it lol" and "I have no idea what I'm doing, nor interest in developing one, fix my thing for me plz" bugs that the site already has a dozen answers for. It stays that way because volunteer moderators don't want to wade through sewage all day. So it goes.

The topic-specific SE sites are often better; Emacs.SE, just off the top, is consistently of very high quality, with maintainers of several high-profile packages and Emacs itself regularly active there. But I abandoned any attempt to participate on SO proper years ago, and rarely even check there except on the off chance that some weird exception has an obvious cause that'll save me a source dive on a library or some similar large investment of time.
In that case, assuming you are fired from your work, you can get a continuation of your insurance under COBRA. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolidated_Omnibus_Budget_Re...

The short answer is you can get a continuation of your same health plan for a certain period of time, but you have to pay more because your employer isn't subsidizing your premiums. Generally this extension lasts for 18 months, though if you qualify for disability it can go for 29 months. And you do have to pay the full price for the plan because your employer is no longer providing it for you, though you may get government assistance.

Also relevant is the Family and Medical Leave Act. Also, if you're unable to do your job due to a medical issue you may qualify for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_Disability_Ins... , along with Medicare. And there's regular disability insurance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disability_insurance

Depending on who you ask Java did replace everything. Consider the Tiobe Index [1]. Java Beats out everything, including C and C+++ when added together. All three are growing, but not nearly as fast as everything else is growing to the point it looks likes they are shrinking.

There is an absolutely enormous amount of Java out there.

Cloudflare basically acts as an intermediary between your web server and the internet. Requests to your site are first routed through cloudflare's large network where things like DDOS attacks are filtered out before being forwarded to your website. The end result is that your webserver receives sanitized traffic and your webserver's IP is protected from the internet.

> That I do not support web browsers that don't support Brotli should already tell you that I don't care if they support Brotli or not! If there is no support, there is no support! Doesn't effect me.

You had to go out of your way to break support for these browsers. Literally every HTTP package (including Rocket) out of the box handles uncompressed responses. You had to modify it to add always-on Brotli encoding.

> I do not support non-SSL HTTP connections.

Why do you keep repeating this? That's completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Nothing about this discussion has anything to do with whether or not the HTTP protocol is wrapped in SSL.

> Naturally. I would prefer to not have anyone using these tools on my server.

So, you want a web site that completely breaks HTTP such that only works with a handful of browsers and doesn't work with the probably tens or hundreds of thousands of pieces of other software that speaks HTTP.

Why?
Oh man. I wish back the old days where AI would be short for Advanced Industries... ;-)

There are many viable alternatives that do not suffer from any of these issues.
A couple quotes I recall from ENG 101:
"Better is the enemy of good enough."
and
"Simple is the most advanced tech."

Believe it or not, non-tech people do not want to learn the latest, greatest UI. They want it to work. Full stop.
The shiny new attack surfaces....er,... features and the vicious circle of security breaches & updates may well extinguish the public's enthusiasm for "new". Ever see an average Iphone or Android user after a nightly upgrade? It isn't pretty when a user's functionality/productivity is torpedoed by a new design +/- features of new OS. As a tech savvy pro, however, YMMV.
Snopes talks about penisland.net, which is still up now and clearly a joke - a rather disappointing effort, in fact, with a few rather broad double entendres and nothing further to offer.

I was curious about the (presumably) original .com, which is now squatted, and about which there seems no historical information easily to be found.
It doesn't mean they'll actually carry through with it. How many people threatened to emigrate to Canada after Trump got elected?

The options are: move to a non-English speaking country (assuming those countries don't shut off their borders with the UK). Or try to get a visa to emigrate to Canada, USA, Australia or NZ. Canada is probably the easiest, as you can get in as a skilled worker, if you fit the criteria and you're prepared for a long wait.

I'm sure your armchair math is much more valid and accurate than their own projections. You should go over there and shower them with your perfect knowledge of the inner workings of their business.
Then you can't see what's in front of you. Take away the "R" in "AR" and all you've done is stuck another screen in front of your face, albeit much closer than any previous technology.

Ask HN: Anybody Here Gone Through UC Berkeley Coding Boot Camp?
I'm seriously considering joining this program.

Before doing so, however, I thought it would be wise to get feedback from previous cohorts. This has proven to be more of a challenge than expected, and the school told me they cannot provide any names due to privacy reasons. This seems like a red flag.

Has anyone here gone through this program? I'd appreciate any feedback and can offer a coffee if you would be willing to share!
I read the paper, and it's not clearly so incriminating in context. You've left out the critical immediate following sentence:

"However, all trusted-third-party protocols raise security questions (see, e.g., [19] and [24]), and there are significant costs to all known techniques to securely distribute or delegate RSA computations. The challenge here is to show that secure multi-user RSA key generation can be
carried out more efficiently than one-user-at-a-time RSA key generation."

The point is that post-quantum RSA relies on massive keysizes that make generating single keys extremely expensive in comparison to today's state-of-the-art, and that it's possible to speed it up by making many keys at the same time. The comment about delegating to NIST was probably meant as a joke, not as any serious consideration.

> you are underestimating how quickly those things can turn around in a massive company with tens of thousands of people working on the problem

I know exactly how an aging, entrenched bureaucracy rewarded for in store sales will react to a new online bolt-on that will "steal" their sales. Ongoing sabotage that cripples the upstart. Very few companies can make transitions like this where a new part of the company must cannibalize the old. Walmart has shown no evidence of even recognizing the kind of transformation they need to make.
Ok. Fair enough. But if you imagine all the potential possibilities as to why, when, etc. then it hardly seems reliable. I can't imagine that in London alone 200 represents the depth and breadth of ppl.
Exactly. There are two independent choices.

Yes, Germany has a minimum wage now. It's fairly recent. Hence my careful wording that Germany "had" a tradition, not "has" a tradition.

(I'll repost an old comment of me, with minor changes.)

It can be worse. A few years ago (10?) here in Argentina there was a epidemic of "engineers that solved the Goldbach conjecture". A few (maybe 5?) of my math Ph.d. students friends had each one his/her own engineer with a different unrelated proof.

The histories where all different, but generally it was a long (100 pages) proof that was tangled up and not very clear. So the math Ph.d. student and the engineer meet weekly for one year to try to understand the proof. It was very painful because they have to understand which part was only unclear or has only small gaps, and which parts had errors that were impossible to fix. And then they had to explain that to the engineer, that were happy to had solved the conjecture.

Factorization is "easy" to test with the RSA challenges or a similar numbers. Primality also is "easy" to test. But there is no "easy" test for Goldbach. You must read the complete proof. (Perhaps you can try to convince them to give a small proof of the weak Goldbach conjecture???)
it's a big NAT?
Your use of HTTPS is completely irrelevant here, but I've already addressed that in the other thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14345695).

> You cannot use Brotli compression over HTTP.

This is completely incorrect. Not only does Brotli have literally nothing to do with the transmission medium and whether it's encrypted, but just to be sure I just tested it and Chrome was perfectly happy to render a Brotli-encoded response over unsecured HTTP.

My best guess here is you've confused HTTP/2 (which requires SSL) with Brotli encoding.
Pure curiosity: What is "binary" drag and drop?
Look at the list of faculty for UCLA/USC in the Biochemistry or Bioengineering areas of focus. Find a lab or two that have a blurb that interest you, read a paper or two from those labs, then email the prof.

Much like in CS/Software, it'll help if you've read a bit of their work and/or can show some way you could contribute directly. i.e. "I specialize in CS and did a side-project analyzing <gene_dataset_x> where I found <something_cool>. I read your <paper> and found <this_thing_you_did> was very cool for <insightful_reason>. I'd love to get more involved in the field and possibly find a volunteer position where I could contribute, would you have time to chat on the phone or over coffee sometime?"

One place to look for genomic data:

Why would the Swedes want to do that?

Productivity ultimately drives standards of living.
Yes, I can't prove it. There's no quantitative way of doing so.

I've worked with very big duck typed codebases for quite a few years now (and largely statically typed in C# before that) and the above is my opinion. Duck typing is convenient early on, but it makes understanding code (especially where it gets complicated or you didn't write it) quite difficult, and any kind of refactoring downright scary. After a point you (1) start getting hugely defensive with tests because without close to 100% coverage you just can't know if anything works, and (2) stop making big changes and instead accept that small incremental deployments towards a greater end is the only safe way towards making progress.

I suspect that how much you agree with this statement is strongly correlated to the size of your codebase. I'd be surprised to meet people with codebases on the order of 100k lines or greater that don't largely share this sentiment.
Therein lies the difference of opinion between the Democratic and Republican points of view on US healthcare. Democrats want a system where insurance companies have to cover everyone regardless of their health, and (most) Republicans want (or have voted for) a system where the unhealthy are off in one pool with insurance they can't afford, while the healthy are in another pool with insurance that's cheap but doesn't cover any actual healthcare.

That's the opposite of what that page is trying to explain. We'll take a look at the wording in case it's confusing.

The article mentions 50 employees; assuming moderate turnover of 10% a year, starting from 1995, plus the 50 current employees, that's 110 people, along some 850,000 in San Francisco.

a) Quite possible. I think he had an NDA with them.
b) No, I think he gets VR/AR, he had some interesting points and claimed to spend his entire workday with various VR/AR devices (lots of early prototypes)

Your analysis of Magic Leap's employees is really interesting though, how complete do you think it was? I mean they must have more than 20 engineers working on it, what percentages did the employees break down into in terms of engineering, design/visual arts, office staff, etc.?
Automation increases productivity without needing those people working.

Automation increases government efficiency because, well, who sends checks? The IRS uses direct withdrawals and deposits...

Automation increases the potentially taxable corporate revenue.

Automation increases poverty because fewer people are allowed to work.

Automation increases crime because more people are impoverished.

Socialism is "bad", m'kay?

Automation increases the risk of a revolt, see poverty.

Automation is here and even more is coming. Without some form of support for the citizens, it's going to create a lot of problems, and not just theoretical "people choosing not to work is bad, and so is socialism" type of problems.
$60K so far, and a lot of people are still probably figuring out how to get Bitcoin. If they had reasonable opsec in making/distributing it and act a bit careful in cashing out the coins they're probably OK. If they end up collecting $200K or so, and Bitcoin continues to go up and they live in a cheap country ... could be well worth it.
Absolutely. On the other hand, almost all of those customers are unaware that Walmart has free 2-day shipping on all orders about $35. Hell, I didn't know that until I read that comment.

Why must productivity be measured in "smallest amount of time to write your feature"? Why not in "smallest Total Cost of Ownership [in man-hours] of the feature over the project lifecycle"?

Some projects are written as explorational prototypes or MVPs. I don't think anyone is saying Rust is much good for those.

But (numerous) other projects are written as "the first real Quality implementation of [well-known problem], using a decade's experience with other implementations." Much of the common software we use—{server daemons (HTTP, SSH, DNS...), parsers and encoding libraries (for XML or JSON; JPEG or PNG; MP4 or MKV...), databases, load-balancers, distributed queues, ...}—fits this paradigm.

If you're writing Nginx, or Redis, or djbdns, you aren't "adding features" out of some agile user-story kanban; you're carefully implementing a small, curated set of well-known, well-understood features, with much research done to ensure that you arrive at the best and least fraught implementation, the one that will make people prefer your software for its quality and reliability and set-and-forget nature.

Rust is for that kind of software. (Which makes sense, given that Mozilla's Servo rendering engine also has the goal of being that kind of software.)

Ironically, Microsoft benefits in another way, which is that the pirate software prevents anybody else from developing a viable commercial alternative. This reminds me of a story. In the mid 90s, a friend of mine was shopping for a computer. Being an Apple fanboy at the time, I recommended a Mac.

He said: "Mac won't run AutoCad."

I said: "You can't afford AutoCad."

He just laughed. Pirate software drove his choice of platform.
