Not always, but yes it happens quite a bit. These days the interview process for experienced hires tends to be rather lengthy and it's easy to draw it out even farther if you want to. If you're ready to move on and have been hitting up your network and applying to multiple new positions (that you're qualified for), it's not overly difficult to hold off one company making an offer while waiting for another to come through.

Meh. There are more jobs than developers, so developers have lots more alternatives. As I developer I would not apply for a job that did not advertise a rate unless I knew in advance it would meet my expectations.

I feel withholding salary info is a premature optimisation of salary negotiation. You are not going to attract top talent and then snag them with a lowball offer.

I'm impressed, but I am also not sure how accurate the benchmarks he's using are for replicating real-world load.

I actually think it's pretty cost effective if you go for 32GB RAM instead of 64GB, and keep the baseline 256GB SSD storage. It comes out to $1,899. With 64GB RAM and 2TB storage, it comes out to $4,099, which is a huge markup for things that can be self-upgraded on a PC.

Even $2,699 for the 64GB version doesn't seem that bad for effectively the best MacOS running computer you can get currently.
I diagram the points and counterpoints in a Hacker News thread like this one and determine which seem sufficiently documented and which need additional research. Very important to not put too much weight on points for which there are no counterpoints or significant supporting research regardless of initial "plausibility"
That's spinning too hard in the other direction. This is a technique for smelting. Once smelted and shipped, the metal is always going to be remelted anyway to mix and cast the final alloy. And in fact in the modern world the bulk of this work is done with electricity already in an electric arc furnace.

We're talking about a constant factor on top of a steel industry already very dependent on electrical power, certainly not (sigh) an "exponential increase of a country's energy intake".

No-one would suggest that the dev team ought to hold off on a soundness fix for performance reasons. It seems like it would be worth mentioning that aspect of NLL when raising the issue of compile times. I certainly would not have made my original comment if the blog post had made that clear.

Comparing vlc to a home theater setup is laughable at best.

Can vlc scrape Metadata and download art? Can I browse my catalog through vlc? Does it work with my remote? How hard is it to get to the next episode when watching a season?

Vlc is great, but it's just a player.

That would be true if you got to pick which problems you were removing from the set, but you don't. If you knew which problems the oracle was going to get wrong, then you would know the right answers to all of them because there are only two possible answers.

A hash function will get an infinite number of answers right and an infinite number of answers wrong. But because you don't know which is which, the result is useless.
I'm not sure if this is comparable but I feel like lots of people already live something like this. My visa has only been approved 1 year at a time. Each year about 3-4 months before I have to renew it I start to worry that it might not be renewed and end up postponing all major plans until it gets renewed. Last year wanted to move apartments before I had to renew my lease but didn't do it because I wasn't sure my visa would get renewed. Even if I had tried landlords might have looked at my expiration date and said "no". Similarly I planned to rent a new office/cube in a co-working space but needed to wait until after my visa was renewed.
As an aside- I do not like desktop linux or anyone that defends this awful status quo.

Its desktop, the user should not have to type anything ever ever ever. The community is toxic and harmful to the future of linux by telling everyone that terminal for the average user is okay.

If this is the rising star in your investment portfolio, you're totally right.

But if it's a sinking ship then the personal relationship might be worth more to the fund manager than trying to save it by making a small acquisition.

Honestly, like you said it all depends on the context and we're not hearing the full story.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see this more in Europe, where most of the VC funds invest government money (money from the EIB, local government funds, etc)
I don’t think there is anything in this idea. Note that

n! * n / (n-1)
= n^2 * (n-2)!
= n * (n-1 + 1) * (n-2)!
= n! + n * (n-2)!
= n! + (n-1 + 1) * (n-2)!
= n! + (n-1)! + (n-2)!

So the conjecture here is that the length of the minimal superpermutation is

n! + (n-1)! + (n-2)! + fib(2n - 6).

The only thing to be said in favour of this idea is that it lies between the known lower and upper bounds, so we can’t yet prove it’s wrong. But there is no reason at all to expect Fibonacci numbers to appear in this context.

The most plausible conjecture we have right now is that the length of the minimal superpermutation is

n! + (n-1)! + (n-2)! + (n-3)! + (n-4)

for n > 3. We can’t prove this either, but at least there is reasonable evidence for it.
Thank you for your reply. That's why I would do the certification, as it would be an incentive for me to delve into the subject. That would be one of the reasons, if not the only one.
Rust's infamously long compilation times being increased here for the sake of features highlights what I like the most about Rust: if we're willing to use the increasing power of customers' machines for languages with GCs, etc., with the aim of reducing development time, surely we can spare some power on the developers' machines for some static analysis.

I doubt it.
Looking at the reality, we are clearly not. We are slowly improving though.
You have to bear in mind that CRISPR was a molecular monkey wrench that bacteria throw into the works of a phage (bacterial virus) - a relatively small and accessible single string genome, with the purpose to quickly wreck it to save their tiny existence, whereas higher organisms have their genes organised in densely packed assemblies that are convoluted and hard to access with the needed precision. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome
In the north the frost line can get to below seven feet, and even past that you're now pulling cold air in, instead of recirculating already heated air from the house. I think this would work well in trying to cool a warm house, or warm one that experiences very mild cold, but I imagine it has limited application.
You can generally get by in most suburbs that way as well. I really only use cash for my monthly D&D game when we're buying take out.

Yes, everyone seems to forget how those social changes were brought about: large unionised workforces that threatened strikes that would topple the economy, or mass protests and civil disobedience on similarly threatening scales. Of course, it's much nicer for those in power to have us believe that voting is all you need.

You're implying that Rust's traits "partially" make for an object system. Given Rust's trait are essentially a restricted form of Haskell's typeclass, these would by your assertion "partially"+ make for an object system as well.
I'm just putting a data point out there.

Me = Rust user who'd rather have slightly faster compile times.

But it's moot anyway given that this is a bug fix.
Compile times have been dropping overall.
This is going to sound condescending, but I don't intend it this way at all. I had the same misconceptions as you did before taking some introductory philosophy courses. I don't see the point or the possibility in arguing this further when you don't seem to have a very basic foundation in philosophy.

Sounds like just marketing bull. It sounds like they have libraries and they are using them to spin up apps faster. That might have value if the libraries are good but that's clearly not AI.
Canadian here. We tip 15% on almost everything but also pay by card most of the time. What happens is that machines have three quick press buttons (10%, 15% and 20%). You can also press the "tip $" button and enter the amount you want. Once that's done, you simply tap your card on the pay-pass machine that the barman presented to you.

That being said, I've not given money to an homeless person in ages. Whenever asked I simply answer "I only carry cards, sorry" and they immediately lose all attention towards me.
That only affects the first compile, and while that is often one of the longest compiles, isn’t usually the pain point for most people.

Don't say "accessible"

It's not always necessary or desirable to store all times as UTC. What you actually need is a time plus offset from UTC. Storing times as UTC is essentially just a special case of that where the offset is always 0.

Most lab data is communicated to other systems using HL7 V2.x messages. The standard does allow for including a time zone offset in all date/time fields. However, many older implementations fail to include the offset and just use local time. Obviously that's not a good idea.

Teenagers' circadian rhythms are shifted later than adults': they naturally go to bed later and sleep later. For most individuals, trying to sleep at times other than your body's rhythm will make it more difficult to go to sleep (though how severe that is varies from individual to individual).

This is true. Lots of weird stuff happen when you go too long without sleep.
Yes, you are one of many. Everyone wants faster compiles.
If you’re bought in to the Apple ecosystem, you can get a good HTPC by buying a 5+ year old Mac Mini from Craigslist. I’ve seen em for around $100, and unlike an AppleTV, you can run whatever additional Mac software you want. My 2010 is running great, recently upgraded to a SSD, and thanks to a kind soul here on HN pointing me to a link, can even run Mojave even though it’s technically unsupported.
How hard is it to upgrade yourself?
I went to a camp for a month and had no access to computers and phones. I can vouch that I slept much better during that month than any other time. And every time I tested by not having electronics around my pillow I sleep better. I am not a kid and this is just one data point, but it would take a lot to convince me that screen time doesn't affect sleep. In my experience at least, it has an effect and not a good one.
Here's a logical argument:

There are literal nazis running for Republican seats. There are literal nazis in the Republican party. The Republican party hasn't distanced itself from bigoted statements and lackluster "both sides" handwaving about nazi lynch mobs. If you vote Republican you vote for a party that either actively supports nazis among their own or knowingly tolerates them.

No, I'm not being hyperbolic. Do you know why people say Charlottesville was a nazi protest? Because there were literal, flag-waving, swastika-adorned nazis chanting anti-semitic, racist and bigoted slogans. The same protest that involved a nazi (or nazi "supporter" if that's more to your taste) charging into a crowd with his car and killing a human being.

This isn't tribalism. I'm not even American. I'm German. The post-beerhall NSDAP were "plenty of fine people" too and nobody took them serious when they talked about killing the jews, leftist, homosexuals and other "undesirables".

Yes, "not all" Republicans are nazis, but the party has politicians who are either literal nazis or sympathise with nazis. Do you know what people who are not nazis do when they find out their group is being invaded by nazis? They kick them out and make it unmistakably clear nazis aren't welcome.
I wondered, but couldn't make sense of that. How is providing commercial bees in bulk a detriment to the environment? When is another bee a problem?
Ambulances are also used for medical transport.

If you as a patient drive yourself to an outpatient cardiology office to get some diagnostics and feel perfectly found but severe blockage is found, the staff will call an ambulance and have you transported to the nearest ED. Even if you are asymptomatic. Fun fact: this will also happen if the ED is within walking distance. There have been cases where an MA was wheeling a seeminly OK patient from a cardiology office to the ED and the patient collapsed in the hallway. That's why it's against protocol.

Yes ambulances are insanely expensive (that's another problem). But availability issues are handled by the 911 dispatcher.
On the one side, you have a prizewinning independent nonprofit news organisation.

And on the other side you have a guy who is stepping down as Tesla CEO after fraud charges, and who's being sued for losing his temper and calling some random cave-diver a paedophile, twice.

Does anyone know what chip they implant to get contactless payment, subway access, LinkedIn details, concert tickets and access control in a single chip?

Does anyone have a contrasting opinion? The article seems to focus on just not explaining with enough specificity what they want, but I find this is extremely common so shouldn't overly effect one particular employer. In fact, I found this job post to be quite well written. The scope is a bit wide (40-120K is quite a range) but I feel like good applicants will know whats expected at different points on that range.

https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/honest.work/posts/effecti...

Part of me thinks this might be over generalizing from a small sample size, i.e., does honest.work get enough traffic that a lack of applicants is truly indicative of quality. Of course there is also the fact that by pricing by the job advert they naturally encourage overly-broad adverts for broadly similar jobs, so that's probably not helping.

That’s quite the claim. Got anything to back it up?
Being slower is not, I think, the major downside. It is that an entire class of errors - race conditions - are basically outside of the scope of the tool. Which is understandable! Race conditions are hard, and when I read about the tool, my first thought was "How are they handling race conditions?" and it turns out, essentially, they're not. But race conditions are also the hardest part about debugging multithreaded applications.

I'm not sure if the tool ensures deterministic scheduling of threads on the single core, but I doubt that it does. If it does not, then playbacks will not be deterministic on playback, which means you could encounter different race condition outcomes on playback. If it does, then while you may have deterministic playback, the tool is unlikely to help with the class of race conditions that require simultaneous execution.

To be clear: I'm not criticizing the tool or the work of the people. If I were to design such a tool, I would probably start with a single core as well. It seems like a valuable tool and great progress for software debugging. But I do think race conditions in multithreaded programs are a current limitation.

edit: The technical report says that they deterministically schedule threads (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.05937.pdf):

"RR preemptively schedules these threads, so context switch timing is nondeterminism that must be recorded. Data
race bugs can still be observed if a context switch occurs
at the right point in the execution (though bugs due to
weak memory models cannot be observed)."

The "weak memory model" part means it won't help with, say, debugging lock-free algorithms where you screw up the semantics.

In my experience, there is a tradeoff between high re-usability and performance.

Building modules that can interact with any one of hundreds of other modules usually requires a fair amount of adapter code. This code comes with a performance penalty.

Maybe their market is ok with lesser performance. But I am highly skeptical that apps built this way will ever compete with apps built for a single, specific purpose.

I do hope they can advance the state of the art in some way though, because software development still feels way more tedious to me than it should be.
I worked at the phone company, US West -> Qwest -> Centurylink. I worked on putting a web front end on an ancient system (PREMIS) that maps address to phone number(s) that have been at that address, and vice versa. This was back in the mid-90s, so landlines. I haven't really been able to remember a phone number since then. I have to write them down, or something. Thank goodness for smart phones that make it easy to reuse a number that has called, and to store a number by human name.

How fortunate Tesla employees are to have somebody making the unpleasant decisions to save them from becoming heroin addicts!

Also, this sounds like something my grandparents would say about life in the USSR:

>“I have spoken again with (the workers’ compensation official) at Tesla and he informed that the forklift did not have electric current running. With that said, in my medical opinion, the patient does not have an industrial injury attributed to an electrical current,”
As others have mentioned, this rule only applies to negotiations where one side is willing to offer more than the other side expects. If you're expecting $150k and the company only has budget for $120k the opportunity cost of engaging in a lengthy interview process to find that out is rather bad.

A better rule of thumb for in-demand professionals (in my experience on both sides of the table) is to do your homework ahead of time, have a realistic understanding of what you're worth and what the company is likely able to offer, and name a price that's a little bit above that. You'll save a lot of time and weed out low-balling recruiters immediately without actually sacrificing much in the way of compensation.
Thanks for the long reply. I guess you didn't really get my point, which is kind of implied in the article:

Whatever we do to "save the earth or the environment", they are not really "saving" the earth or the environment, because the earth and the environment don't really care about humans. The nature does not differentiates hot vs cold, high CO2 concentration or low CO2 concentration, earth covered by lava or forest. What we call destructions or damages, are just natural processes by a highly intelligent species. All we are doing is making the earth more suitable for humans to live, that's it.
I would phrase it more like "Yay it has made improvements without compromises"
Lyft and Uber are used by patients to go to the hospital and other doctors very regularly. I think that your idea that this is illegal is pretty novel.

Whether that should have been used in the cases described in the attached article is a reasonable debate. I'm more confident in the people on the ground making this choice than the news reporter.
