It is, but that is not a particularly fruitful avenue of thought for the problem at hand.

I could annoyingly argue that OP and yourself choose not to each dedicate 20 hours more per week to work for even more money, money that you will send me so that I can work less at my day job and work on more interesting projects. But you can't do that because you have made other choices etc. It's a bit circular isn't it?
So you're claiming studios are $6000 and 1BR's are $9000? You can get a 1000 sqft for < $3000 within a 1 hour commute of SOMA.
It should be noted that wondershaper is now 16 years old, and it should be no surprise at all that there might be something a little better out there. It is fairly comprehensibly rubbished in https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Wondershaper...
I should clarify that I mean the emotional/existential aspects of being human, rather than the physical aspects - using a prosthetic helps with the very real problems of having a physical disability. I suppose you could argue that everything boils down to physical aspects with brain chemistry and whatnot, but that's getting into the philosophical weeds a bit.
We used to get Homeroom catered to our company so I'm pretty familiar.

Its pretty delicious but also really heavy. I noticed that it was difficult finding something that I'd want to eat on a recurring basis, and that must have been uniform because we stopped getting catering from them after 6 months or so.

I'm curious to know if you've seen recurring business from customers or just getting new business because its a new concept and people love mac and cheese and want to try.

While there are trends in fast casual, I'd say there are also trends in healthier eating. Have you thought about how to provide healthier / lighter options to encourage more habitual ordering from existing customers?

Also another idea is food trucks as mobile storefront. A pizza truck a block away from me bought access to an unused parking lot, and while they do provide walk-ups, the majority of orders are fulfilled by delivery companies. Since they are located in a parking lot on a busy street, I will often see 4-5 Uber / Postmates / Eat24 cars lined up waiting for their quick-fire pizzas.
As opposed to my last job, where they blocked me at the door and showed me a picture of Tony Kornheiser declaring "GAYS NOT WELCOME", when I just wanted a free bubble tea.
I may be an outliner but I prefer them. Mixing presenting with randomly writing things is better than talking for an hour. Makes me less nervous doing two things at once.
Finally something else than coal. If the current admin could jump on the opportunity to diversify into renewables.

Possibly. But if comparison is an endgoal that number should only be used against other forms energy that are also adjusted for their respective subsidies. But why is direct subsidy the only thing we should adjust for? How about cost the government pays indirectly for other energy forms? Environmental cleanup or other indirect costs for mishaps, etc. If we want a more holistic comparison let’s keep going up.
> There are a million power imbalances in society and gender isn't close to the most important, it's just the most discussed.

I dunno, I think race is discussed at least as much, and economic class even more.
It also has two decades of being a proven reliable vehicle. Who knows what issues might creep up with the Model 3 in the span of twenty years.

The other thing consumers don't realize is how hard it is right now to get replacement parts for these vehicles. I have a friend who was rear ended at a stop sign who purchased a Model 3 a month ago. They have no idea when they're going to get in the replacement bumper for their vehicle.

The entire market is unpredictable and new. If you are replacing a daily driver with a Model 3 it feels like a gamble.
Why open source failed
So only about three times the quoted CAD$14K of a used Prius? What about used Tesla Model S's, again?
Ask HN: What to do about bad code culture
Five months ago I joined a medium-sized fast growing startup. One of the reasons I joined was because they were having scaling issues and I felt confident I could help them. Now I think their problem is a cultural one and I don’t know if I can help. Should I try to make it work or move to a company with a better culture?

Every engineer I’ve talked to agrees there are fundamental and pressing problems throughout our infrastructure. Despite that, prototypes of critical pieces of logic routinely get shipped.

I keep talking with anyone who will listen, asking how they think we can fix these issues and offering to help, but nothing gets done. Our infrastructure is completely unscalable and sometimes it feels like the people in power like it that way.

I’m ripping my hair out trying to work here. Is this a learning experience or am I just wasting my time?

p.s. I have four years of engineering experience and this is a senior position
> So then the question becomes: who do you trust ?

Definitely not a multinational corporation who has lied to it's users in the past, and has compromised their privacy and security.

I trust companies who put their money where their mouth is, and provide me access to inspect the systems that they have built.

Yes, you can't ever really know for sure if there is a back door or not. There's no way to prove a negative. But blindly trusting someone who is clearly hiding something seems naive at best.
Operator overloading, in any language that supports it, has always been controversial, so Python doesn't really add anything new there.

The thing is, it's also incredibly useful at times. Language features that are "useful when you have the use case for it, confusing when you don't" tend to provoke that reaction.
The chat is not the only way you can troll your team mates and cause them to rage quit (or scream at you and get banned themselves). I would actually say that the griefing created by people using slurs is actually pretty small.

You can be silent and ruin hundreds of games. Distinguishing that from genuinely bad players is not really easy.
I feel a lot of people are also attached to the fantasy of themselves being rather perfect, which makes heartbreak somewhat harder to digest.
The point of technology and capitalism is to make mankind more efficient and do the same things with less resources. The gig economy reflects that companies are automating more and need less labor.

This should be a bood thing, except we're stuck in a system that needs everyone to have a job. I don't know exactly what a new system would look like, but i think it will have to start with a little more socialism and distributing the vast resources a tiny few people have more equitably.
Lol exactly my thought...they are not even in one price range. No one is thinking of buying prius or tesla
IBM really, really does not want anything to do with further developing or supporting Lotus software products. I believe that they gave that whole business over to HCL not long ago.
Here’s some evidence that may explain the rarity of such a thing and how children struggle with the concept :

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.2044-835X....

Two studies are reported investigating children's conceptions of the number zero. The first, with 31/2–61/2‐year‐olds, charts preschoolers' understanding that zero is a number among other numbers with its own unique value, namely nothing. Children's achievement of this understanding occurred in three phases. At each phase understanding of zero lagged behind comparable understanding of other small numbers. The second study, with 51/2–10‐year‐olds, investigated children's developing conception of simple algebraic rules, such as a + 0 = a. Results showed that even the younger children had some understanding of several algebraic rules. The older children had acquired more such knowledge, but at all ages algebraic understanding was advanced for rules pertaining to zero, in comparison to those pertaining to other small numbers. These results suggest that zero plays a special role in children's increasingly algebraic knowledge of number. We conclude that since zero is difficult to conceive of and use originally (Expt 1) children develop special rules for its use, and that this provides a first step towards their formulation of more general algebraic rules (Expt 2) and towards an expanded conception of number and mathematics.
Telsa over Volt is easy for me, no carrying around a gas engine that I don't need. I actually don't even have a Tesla, but I do drive an all electric. I didn't want to carry around added weight in an ICE engine and have more room for batteries.
Location was two of their main problems.

High rents and limited food options (so they went into burgers) and the high rent locations they took in suburban malls often came with contracts which explicitly stated they couldn't sell burgers due to competition with other mall burger places.

Looks like this is very different in that they're mostly selling through Uber Eats et al and some locations. They can easily expand to selling anything they want out of these commissaries.
> You have to root your device to run it

wtf. I have been using F-Droid for many years, and this has not been the case. as far as I know, this has never been the case, as Android has always had functions for third party app stores. in fact, even today, F-Droid recommends not using root for installs, since then you don't get the screen showing permissions.

> allow third party code

that's called running apps.

tl;dr nice FUD.
I haven't had the opportunity yet but I really want to take a piece of code from our system, de-optimize it a bit and add some bugs, then give users a unit test around it.

Most of what we do as engineers is trying to read code to figure out what it's doing, how to fix it and how to enhance it. Going through real code with a candidate and assessing their ability to understand brand new code (and what questions they ask) seems like it would give good insight to how they would perform on the job.
Seeing this from another perspective. Why does a person who can’t even afford to travel give a shit about Barrier reef. Sure collectively, we as humans have messed it up. But what are the actions of one person gonna make a difference? Most people have bigger problems to worry about. Like ... staying alive, being able to hold a job and pay rent.

I also think that it’s wishful thinking that suddenly we as humans will suddenly change our livestyles. Cheap energy makes our lives confortable and arguably makes us happy.

Add this to the capitalist landscape of most countries where govts bend to accommodate corporates, why would anyone implement a policy that’s harmful for their economy? May be Australia since the Barrier reef is in their country but even their govt really doesn’t give a shit to be honest.

In terms of game theory, it makes sense why they behave the way they do.

I feel the only way to get out of this is rewarding strong innovation. I.e making it so that solar/wind/nuclear is wayyy cheaper than coal so it doesn’t make sense for any business to run a coal plant. Just the way we stopped burning wood and candles.

Same with cars, it’s too expensive to buy a Tesla / leaf compared to a good ol reliable Toyota. Prius is fugly. Gimme an affordable electric car that beats the pants off gasoline car in range, style, and long term maintenance costs and everyone will shift.

Incentivize Apple, Google, Microsoft, Hedge funds etc to spend their billions of fat cash in energy revolution and we’ll get the returns.

The truth is the economy rewards profits and right now, not being green is profitable.
Well, now when that technique is well known it's another story.

It's like the case where PIN numers on credit-cards where cracked but because noone knew it could be done people where assumed to have been negligent if the thief knew the code and automatically denied any compensation.

There are: LineageOS without gapps or anything is a much better option.

I won't say that it is a good option, as it clearly isn't. But at least they give you some control of your data. Apple doesn't really give you any.
Well you must have accepted an interview for that kind of team (perhaps unknowlingly; this kind of thing can be quite opaque to the candidate a company like Google). Obviously not everyone at Google is working on ads and tracking. In fact, I would bet the farm that it's a minority under 5% if not under 1%.

I think yours is a good story -- it worked out for you. But, honestly, you didn't know Google's business was an advertising and tracking business? Don't know the exact number but I think it's still over 90% of their revenue is from ads. Come on.
Whiteboard interviews would be fine if they weren't taken so damn literally. Writing code on the board is dumb.

Spitballing solutions to a problem collaboratively and with access to reference resources (a nice little programmer's bookshelf in the room) followed by actually coding a little bit up seems that it would be way less stressful and way more likely to give you a sense as to what someone is capable of and what they're like to work with.
Backpointers aren't that bad. You have two pointers, locked together by a simple invariant. That invariant has to be valid both before and after any operation on either pointer or deletion of either object. The problem is that in most languages, it's hard to talk about an invariant between two variables. But what you have to check or prove is trivial. You don't need a full theorem prover, just some standard compiler-type checks.

That's what I'm getting at here. There are only a few special cases where you really need unsafe code. Backpointers, partially initialized arrays, and foreign functions cover most of it. Yes, you can construct fancy situations like hash maps where there's some performance benefit in having complicated sparse arrays of pointers interspersed with junk. Is it worth it? Zeroing memory is cheap. Go zeros everything and doesn't seem to suffer.

The use case of Rust is memory safety without garbage collection. Keep that in mind. Try not to get too clever. Too much "unsafe", and it will break. Not just through coding bugs. Because someone will change something that was based on an implicit assumption made in the past by another.

The pressure of a whiteboard interview has nothing in common with the pressure of a short deadline. It's like testing people for Tour de France by putting them on a unicycle.
In Lotus Notes (yes I had the misfortune to use it) "database" is really something more like a "structured file". It's quite a lot different from a SQL database, and 150 of them is not a lot. The system I worked on had 10000s (although admittedly it had a very peculiar design even for Notes).
This is great -- Eager to read the first test results comparing InfluxDB and TimescaleDB. We migrated almost a year ago: https://blog.dnsfilter.com/3-billion-time-series-data-points... and have found Timescale to work out well.

I know InfluxDB has continued to evolve; and I think a tool like this can help folks better select the appropriate solution for their use-case (As Influx is a fine product, but they acknowledged our particular use-case was not a good fit)
Cool this will drive up our salaries.
> I don't think VC firms fund poets or musicians :)

How would you fund a poet or musician in your funding model?

Do they put an idea for a song or some such on the board and it's voted on? Who decides what poet is good or bad (it's entirely subjective?)

Also what's the payout for investment in a poet? They aren't likely to start a company.

So if I'm going to start a company and I take your investment is it "fair" that a poet receives the same investment but doesn't have to fork over a % back to you like I'll have to?
I suspect no one 8nderstands the cost of building and maintain gig software past 10 years.

Some problems have been around longer than most developers who want to rebuild every 3 years.

> ASL [...] programming

Hand pose tracking is becoming increasingly viable, both with rapidly advancing ML of camera video[1], and perhaps with VR gloves. So as someone interested in expert UIs for programming inside VR/AR, I ask...

Any suggestions for ASL linguistics resources to mine for non-novice UI idioms/vocabularies/grammars/etc?

Your "3-space as namespace" as one example.

Gaze tracking will similarly be available. Facial expression, at least while wearing HMDs, regrettably not so much (despite prototypes). Is there signing experience with hand-held objects? - fast fine-control "fiddling with a pencil" is available with sub-millimeter few-degrees precision 6DOF, but it's unclear what vocabulary/grammar to use with it.

Big picture: VR/AR seems an opportunity to leverage accumulated insights from signing.

Coding challenges either take home or live session.

Most whiteboard questions are always some esoteric algorithm any engineer worth their salt would in real life would look up before ever consider using to verify their own understanding before using it.

Putting someone on the spot saying whiteboard x is not ok.

However if the test is to see if they can take part in a meeting, then by all means do a white board, but ask them draw a workflow diagram or some other 40,000 foot type of diagram. Do not ask them to put code on a whiteboard.

The full set of Android processes running as root on my Pixel 2 is https://pastebin.com/sTtQVz3m - which of these is from Play Services?

I think that in most cases the system services that are in a position to interfere with the keyboard in any way are provided by the phone manufacturer rather than Google - obviously if you're running gBoard then Google has control over that, but I'm not aware of any way that Google fundamentally has control over the other frameworks that the keyboard interacts with (but, again, I don't work on Android - I'd love a more definitive answer on this)
Thanks for your interest Sunny.

I am planning to actively scourge the internet for new providers, update the repository with useful insights about the usage of GPUs for ML practitioners and also help enthusiasts with lowering the barrier of entry by passing on information about promo codes & credits.

Ofcourse, if the ecosystem also sees necessity of having such a one-stop destination, it'd be great because the entire community if much better off having it rather than not! :)
Sure. Was just trying to solve the problem while keeping the same experience, which some automotive manufacturers must think is worth providing to customers.

This is society's natural immune system at work.
"Whiteboard interview" typically does not mean "sketch a general design of a system", or the other things whiteboards get actually used for on the job. It means "here's an algorithm challenge, solve it by writing the code on the whiteboard, and we'll flunk you if you make any mistakes".

Not always a whiteboard, either; one of the best engineers I ever knew flunked a Google interview because of a situation where he had to write a bash script and read it over the phone to the interviewer, who apparently didn't transcribe it correctly on the other end. But "they only hire the best", you know, and their practices are rock-solid and proven.
I recommend, instead of Twilight, to use Lux[0]. It has many settings and lets you completely set your own brightness curve, with "negative" brightnesses that darken your screen with an overlay included. Also lets you adjust color temp, of course. The free version had all the features I needed.

Absolutely, but expecting your partner not to cheat on you is not asking for perfection hence the legitimacy of demonizing them.

In which the left now suddenly no longer supports network neutrality.
In general, an interview is to understand what a candidate brings to the table. Therefore, one of the best ways to assess "glass half full" is to talk about their past work. The interviewer is a subject matter expert who can definitely ask pertinent questions about the candidate's work. In many cases, more so for scientific positions - the candidate's work is publicly available.

Currently, many interviewers go for - as I like to call it -"trivia questions". Personally, it just doesn't seem appropriate because "Everything may be obvious, once you know the answer". In some such interviews, I've asked my own set of trivia questions to the interviewers. The interviewers weren't pleased as they couldn't answer some questions for which I knew the answers beforehand.
