This can only be true if your codebases are very small (e.g., at a rinse-and-repeat site mill).

For anything non-trivial, as your code grows the amount of time required to understand it will grow too -- even if you're using "standard" frameworks, etc. -- because the business logic driving your design decisions is learned with experience. For example, we have a guy at our large company who's a terrible programmer but we keep him on the team (albeit somewhat quarantined) because he's been there forever and has enough institutional knowledge to be valuable.

As your systems grow even more, there will not be off-the-shelf solutions. You'll have to sit down and do some real-life architecting and that won't be learned in 2 weeks. Even if you could perfectly document all your systems and design intentions (you can't), well documented decisions still take time to be read and "soak in".
Open the developer tools (F12) on any website that uses it and you can see in the network tab what it sends.

So yes, cookies, but the ones for the domain where the fonts are hosted, not the one you are visiting. Not sure about the referrer. User agent for sure.
Moreover, the browsers have a caching mechanism.
Computing started with dumb terminals connected to super computers.

Personal computing reversed the trend.

Now the trend is reversing. Computing is increasingly being offloaded to the cloud. Gaming, graphics, it won't matter if an app is ARM or x86, 32bit or 64bit or 128bit, windows, android, linux or IOS if it runs on the cloud, even part of the operating system can be handled off hand-held devices.

The only limit AFAIK is network latency. As network speeds, reliability improves and costs approaches zero, cloud computing would become more valuable.

If battery no longer an issue, cloud computing might wane. Until then, MS is right to bet on cloud.
Hmm not sure how you could take away such a poor interpratiaton of my comment. I’m actually having a great day and one of the best years of my life.

At the time of my comment, very early in the submission, all of the other comments were drawing false conclusions about what is being presented. GDP comparisons tell you nothing about the lives of the people living in those two areas being compared. My original comment was meant to point that out to an audience that may not have spent much time studying economics.

"Work expands to fill the amount of time available to complete it." Apparently this applies to man-hours as well as calendar time.

In the example given, a nurse wouldn't need additional schooling to switch jobs.
One they asked me in 2010 was "How many people are in the air right now?"

I've conducted loads of interviews at Google since 2012 and none have included a question like this from myself or any other hiring committee members.
Erlang is really good for any messaging and/or distributed system, but fails short of power for number-crunching, however you could write any compute-intensive parts in C/Rust and make a NIF link to them.

I think that F# it's the go-to functional language for interfacing with rest of the Microsoft stack, and with the .NET platform. It's also pretty widely used in the trading systems niche, but it hasn't exploded yet in popularity.

Which of these do you prefer? I used fdroid but haven't installed a system ad blocker. I just use firefox focus which does a good job of preventing trackers and most ads but it's not perfect.
Not sure why sans-serif minimalism should be considered soulless. I don't think I'll ever tire of solid no-nonsense Swiss design, but variety is the spice of life for sure.
Yes, I’m positive that the security/privacy risk is the reason why Apple banned VPN based ad blockers. There’s no way for Apple to verify that VPN apps aren’t siphoning off data, making the whole thing a gamble and huge PR disaster waiting to happen (“Apple found to have allowed internet siphoning apps on store for years”). Loss of blocking ads in apps is a casualty, not a goal.

If it didn’t mean a revolt from countless app devs I’m sure they’d be perfectly happy to implement something similar to Safari’s content blocker system for the entire OS.
I like them as an interviewee, but as an interviewer I find that they can be very challenging to grade in a consistent way. The upside to "invert a binary tree" type questions is that it's a lot easier to put together a rubric (although the downsides are myriad).
1. Where should this if statement live?

2. Your solution assumes the full shipping address is known to where you think this code should live.

3. No edge cases are being handled here.

4. What's the additional server burden for your solution? Do we need to provision additional capacity? What about DB capacity?

5. What does pay_gst actually do? Is it handling only charging an additional price? What about accounting, tax, and reporting?

6. Why are we evading sales tax in the else? We might still need to collect other sales taxes. Amazon.com is also the primary portal for NA, so it still needs to collect local/state taxes.

7. How should we handle updating the DB tables? What about the derived tables?

I could easily go on.
Kinda off topic but what font are you using in the screenshots? It's nice!
I'm curious what advantages that brings for security since executables can still be called via relative (./) and absolute paths.

The biggest advantage that immediately springs to mind is writable directories included in PATH but even there some Linux distributions do include ~/bin in their users PATH. Thankfully PATH is an order of precidence and ~/bin comes last negating the ability for a script in ~/bin from "overwriting" /usr/bin/ et al. (ie `~/bin/sed` wouldn't become the default sed). I believe in Windows - though I'm not in a position to check - also places the working directory as last precidence when checking for instances in PATH.

There maybe some other vulnerability I am completely unaware of though but that's what I've experienced when messing around with Windows
You should see Nevada - the federal government owns 85% of the land there.
It feels like the work we do at database companies. My earlier work on the Couch ecosystem was inspired by the goal of creating a universal data mesh, so user-driven applications could share data. Now with FaunaDB we are closer to the goal of one cluster for all applications, but with relational constraints and ACID transactions.
You need a Fujifilm X100F, with the matching leather case for extra style points. Camera feels great, has a real optical viewfinder, and lots of physical controls.
One they asked me in 2010 was "How many people are in the air right now?"

I've conducted loads of interviews at Google since 2012 and none have included a question like this from myself or any other hiring committee members. IMO the questions about what they do for fun are way better at determining if they'll fit and do well.
The caching happens browser level. Chrome won't bother opening a connection if it sees a URL it knows.
I think people who work in business side of large scale print would disagree. Granted it's no where near the scale of consumer SLRs but there's a reason MF/LF cameras exist.
I once wrote letter to Decathlon, the largest sporting goods retailer.

That article is long on fanciful rhetoric and short on actual facts and quotes. I’m still not entirely sure this is not just native advertising and wrapped front covers - common pieces in the free San Francisco paper here.

I do feel like there’s a lot of “gotcha” kind of writing in this article - their prerogative - but I can’t help wonder if it’s just a coordinated attempt to attack American businesses.

I also think there’s a presumption of goodwill for opendemocracy, and a presumption of ill will to the standard. What if things were completely opposite?

The reason I run this thought experiment - remember the last time you read a newspaper article about an area of industry you’re very familiar with, and how incorrect and wrong it was? Why would you trust the veracity of every other article instead?
The above was about the next device. So it's one option.

Run. Your. Own. Resolver [full stop]

I'm both amazed and devastated how even seasoned privacy hackers will just pop 8.8.8.8 into their respective resolv.confs. What are they thinking?

I know how people tell stories about how 8.8.8.8 (or 1.1.1.1) are so nice and fast (which simply sounds like they are mirroring the advertising for these services by the letter), but honestly, that doesn't matter: The first visit to any site is slow, and has been slow for years (downloading all those megabytes from a dozen origins simply takes its time); waiting another half-second to have your own resolver look after some unknown hostname – which will be cached, locally, much faster than anything 8.8.8.8 could do for you – really isn't worth spilling your entire browsing history onto Google's reception desk. Not for me, anyway.
Shitty ad network injects malware while I'm browsing. Who does that pay?
> It's really weird seeing the US get scared of a 8% tax. Those taxes are services after all.

Not necessarily. Illinois spends roughly half its budget on pensions. In New York, where I don't need a car and can offload much of what I'd hire a lawyer for onto regulators, I get a decent bang for my buck. (Though we still have horrendous waste.)
Well the same is true for the rest of the world. I live in Queens, NY surrounded by the world’s best who came here from all over the place. For every 100,000 people from Bangladesh here in Queens, I wonder whether these is even 1 American living permanently in Bangladesh. I wonder how many expats there are out there total, and which country has the closest immigration balance to the United States, which probably leads the world by a lot in any metric of incoming immigrants.

I focus on immigration because where you choose to live seems like the single greatest vote of confidence that you can make. So I wonder why people here in the states want to make the states more like other places when clearly people from other places want to come here.

> I am just saying that it has the potential to be more liveable for all citizens, not just the very "best".

Yeah it definitely could and should be. There is a lot of low hanging fruit.
Legal implications for FinTech devs, Spoofing Manipulation and CFTC Enforcement
Does Amazon do unreasonable things with your users' data? Because otherwise you wouldn't need consent.
You'd probably be treated by default as such because of the IP, but afaik it only applies to citizens so you probably wouldn't be able to sue if applicable. Or if you need to show ID for requesting your data to prove your identity (if they don't have an online, automated process, then that's quite standard).
Surely the SVP who was in charge of hiring at Google is a useful source for information on how Google hired people?
PHP: 1995.
Exactly. Honestly I've been telling people for the last year to buy MS stock. They are going for recurring revenue with all their business facing products, and it's working. The business world, outside of SV apparently, runs on MS products.
I agree. A proper solution should probably work with the notion of a trust network, i.e. an extension of a social graph.
No, as you are not a EU resident. But websites might treat you as if GDPR applies to you.
Ad creates costly low quality internet
The big resorts make their own snow so it's not like things are completely dead. But there is the subconscious thing for visitors nearby where if there's no snow in NYC or Boston they forget that there is always snow on the major mountains here.
One example is that all your income tax goes to the local government up until a certain point (~65,000 USD?), and it's redistributed at that level, rather than being siphoned through so many levels of bureaucracy like in the States.

A very intriguing idea. I like it on the surface, but it falls down a little bit because local taxation is varied. Some cities have their own income taxes, while others don't. Some states have income taxes, while others don't. Some states|counties|cities have sales tax, while others don't. It's a hodge-podge.

The local jurisdictions use this as an incentive to draw in new businesses. The idea is for local control of taxation. But your proposal seems to give the locals more control over taxes than the top-down structure we have now. It's worth thinking about.

From googling: https://www.keycdn.com/blog/web-font-performance/

Skip to "Here is a comparison of hosting Open Sans locally vs Google CDN."

They found it was faster to use a Google CDN. One of the things this article suspects is that CDNs will have better world-wide coverage, and therefore overall latency, than hosting your font yourself.

I'd like to see a comprehensive study of your counter point, though.
And the iPad
The pie chart is dividing revenue sources rather superficially, probably just from the companys financial report.

For example, surface is listed as revenue source, where pixel and other hardware products are not listed for Google.

And for ads, Google has display ads, search ads, YouTube, these are vastly different market. If we treat ads as one source, we might as well treat windows & office as one category: pc software.

In summary, the charts are not convincing to me.
Presumably built on top of blazegraph?
Of course they've modified tinkerpop so there is an aws variant of Gremlin...

This doesn't help when running on non-wifi though, where adblockers are even more important (bandwidth saving).

I remember my dad going to all of our family gatherings and baseball/basketball/soccer games with his trusty Canon A-1. He passed it along with a few of the lenses he no longer needed when he moved to a Canon SLR, and it's been my trusty sidekick when documenting family gatherings and niece/nephew's baseball/basketball/soccer games (though it helps my {brother,sister}s{,-in-law} don't share pictures on Facebook - they want a nice scrapbook like their parents had for them).
Who do you think is going to win in this struggle, the corporations that have a profit incentive to obscure the truth, or the individual consumers? Even if you try to market a “fake review defense AI” how are your consumers going to evaluate its effectiveness or ensure that you aren’t making deals with the AI reviewer companies behind their backs? It’s a completely lopsided fight.
It's dismissive, simplistic comments like these that makes me sad for the HN community. Not only it this actually just wrong, Google's investment in it's various products have complex relationships with one another. The recent post about "commodify your complement" does a good job getting into this specific case

There are a few recommended steps you can take to improve your credit score that put you on the path to a good credit score. Improving your credit score is all about doing the right things over a long period of time. My colleague mentioned about how GhostHunter assisted him over his credit score and how they clean up DUI report and Chexsystem. I wondered if they could fix my credit profile too. I already thought i'll need to work all my life to pay up all this dept. But at my very state now I have my very low score of 465 brought me up to 750 within every 2 weeks to get completed. After then My whole story changed, he did not just remove the negatives on my report only but also increased my score a bit higher up to 800 just in weeks. I owe a lot to GhostHunter and that's why i'm here sharing the good news right here. Contact: email: carolinestillwell24@gmail.com SMS Only: +1-231-242-7260
The mouse. It sucks. The latency too (over long thin pipes). I prefer to live in a textual universe anyways. I can't not use a GUI browser for a lot of things, sadly, and occasionally I end up using an IDE, but as much as possible I use tmux/screen + $EDITOR + cscope + scripts + ... as my UI/IDE. It's just better. It works great over mosh, over SSH, over long thin pipes, over short wide pipes -- it just works. Latency is low, and mouse use nil -- win-win.

EDIT: Also, it's a lot easier to organize and find my way around nested tmuxes than it is to organize tons of windows. Yes: I nest tmuxes.
The user's browser often doesn't need to make any request to Google's CDN because the font has already been downloaded and cached for use from some other site. Self-hosting doesn't allow this.
I'm starting to despair of the possibility of ever having a reliable way to gauge product quality on the Internet. It seems to be a huge asymmetry problem where, as soon as a trustworthy system appears, the rewards of gaming it are so big compared to what consumers are willing to pay to have it stay trustworthy, that sellers will throw unlimited money at the problem until they have captured it with useless garbage.

About the only thing you can do is find a particular writer or site that has a reputation you trust, but they might never review the specific product you're interested in. And when you're trying to buy something in an entirely new category you're not familiar with, it's hopeless.
Skaffold: happy Kubernetes workflows
My brother is a photographer and works in a camera store in his spare time - or the other way around, depending on when you ask him.

He's spent a fortune over the years on film and cameras and switched to full digital a while ago. Recently he traded all his glass & bodies for new Sony gear, which he reckons outperforms both Canon and Nikon by a considerable margin. So if you're letting go of film and are in the market for digital don't count out Sony.
As an interviewer I also like to follow the thought process. I have had candidates who could solve a lot of questions pretty quickly but as soon as the question deviated a little from the regular path they were completely lost and had no ability to adapt. I am really happy with stories that follow a path like "Tried A, didn't work because of X, then tried B, didn't work because of Y, then tried C and things came together".

Yes, but unfortunately the executable bit would be preserved if the file was delivered by way of a .tar.gz bundle. A reasonable user expectation would be to double-click on the .tar.gz to unravel it and then double click on the pdf to open it.

Or they choose different careers because they don't want to live in the city with a bunch of people who think nothing like them.

A good chunk of the EEs where I went to school were doing it instead of CS because there were fewer CS options that didn't involve moving to a culturally incompatible city.

edit: The clock strikes lunchtime in SV and suddenly everything I posted today gets down-voted. It kind of illustrates my point about culture compatibility.
With interviews, you are essentially trying to predict the job performance of a candidate when they are at your company, so why not make it as close to that as possible?

With face-to-face tell them to bring their laptop or you can provide one, then explain a real actual hard problem you've solved or one of your colleagues has, that took roughly 2 hours, leave the room and let them try and solve it on their own accord without any pressure of people staring at them whilst coding. Come back and ask them to explain their solution and quiz them on different parts.

This has been by far the best test I've given that predicted real on job performance.

There are better solutions to this problem which don't use CDNs. Particularly, using secure hashes of resources allows users to load the fonts from cache even if they're stored at different URIs, while preventing various hacks that can occur with a CDN.
Yep exactly. And for the enterprise company it's never going to be a single sign off. You'll need to get IT involved, maybe legal, probably finance, maybe procurement. Every company has a different process, and everyone will want at least a few people saying "yes" when the price is high enough. Enterprise sales is more project management and scheduling than it is about learning the magic words that close any prospect.
When the government is your master, you will be innovative only insofar as it is necessary to achieve government objectives. SenseTime may be a great investment because of that implicit support, but it doesn’t make them a great company nor much of a competitive threat to rivals who are exposed to the rigors of the market.
There is obviously an administrative burden, I don't deny that. I don't think it can reasonably be described as "massive".
You're right! That's a very real risk that should not be readily dismissed.

This is why a program that at no point has any way, shape, form, or manner of phase-out is desirable. It fully and completely avoids any kind of problem stemming from colliding cutbacks. This is such a good idea and so wise, that it was baked in to the approach proposed above!
