I've done both. I can see where the recruiter is coming from, even if the way they put it is completely disrespectful. I don't think it's a matter of one being more "serious" than the other. Let's say a front-end engineer and a backend engineer spent an equal amount of time studying their craft over 10 years with the same amount of efficiency. Most places will only need what the front-end engineer learned in their first 3 years with whatever updates to the stack are relevant along the way. For the backend engineer, all 10 years of that experience could be put to good use.

That's not to say you can't go deep specializing in the front-end, especially if you plan on getting into WebAssembly since that seems to be a thing now, but most places I've come across are just looking for someone to shovel data to the user. A lot of front-end engineers I know tend to only get to the depth of knowledge that most companies would utilize. If someone asked them to build an embeddable Javascript widget like Intercom, they wouldn't even know where to start.

For the recruiter, it's probably all just supply and demand. They might not even know what they're talking about, and are just basing it off of some gut feeling they got from an article they read somewhere. If they were having a hard time filling a spot, I'm sure their tune would change.
Better for MS, of course. Better = has better chances of succeeding.

I don't see much difference between MS bootstrapping a network from github or google bootstrapping one from youtube, so I disagree with the GP.
A hostile foreign power has access to millions to billions of its own citizens and a tiny number of agents who are US citizens because of the comparative difficulty in acquiring agents because such a situation is risky for both parties.

Given substantial financial resources like a state actor getting that person to naturalized status seems relatively trivial.

It may simultaneously be true that on average natural and naturalized citizens are equally loyal, moral, and trustworthy and naturalized citizens in sensitive areas are a risk because it makes it easier for foreign powers to infiltrate you because of the comparative difficulty of acquiring the services of a natural born citizen.

I see a lot of great numerical code in Julia. As a C++ developer, I don’t want to deal with a runtime or various parts of the language, but I imagine I could be more easily brought to the table if Julia code could be exported to a shared object file and linked against, or if it could compile to a direct binary.
Qubes not only seems complicated but my main goal
is to have one script that defines my whole laptop / workstation experience - the "in one place" idea is what matters to me here.

I think qubes or something like it will be the right way to go for safety in "the future" - but Inwoukd like a really simple way to define my qubes upfront- really really simple.

I think there should be some repercussions for them too. Like, they should be the first to go without pay. And then, if it drags on too long, start garnishing from their holdings, personal and business assets.

Well you're talking about filenames, right? Not the content?

My understanding (which could be quite wrong) is that Windows refers NFC and MacOS prefers NFD (as do I but I understand the NFC desire) but that the filesystems themselves do not do normalization. In which case, modulo delimiters, every filename in one is legit in the other.

My suggestion of utf8 was to make a byte-order and code point width invariant form that should be completely reversible.

But if that doesn't work, never mind.
It also has support for podman, which runs using user namespaces. Still a bit rough around the edges (fuse-overlayfs still a bit buggy and not POSIX, the same way that overlayfs in the kernel was initially buggy and had to wait until overlay2 to have it work reliably with docker)

I had worried that, but I've been wearing it for years and have noticed no difference. My acne is actually alot better now, but I put that up to maturity, not the makeup. I think it probably depends on your skin type etc. But I tried all sorts, short of roaccutane, to get my acne sorted and nothing worked. I figured I may as well just hide it until it disappears on its own.

I used to wear a lot, when I first started, now I just use a lightish covering, no one can tell, and even when they did, I couldn't care less. The confidence boost I got from not having a rank face was amazing. I'm sure someone would say that's not the healthy way of dealing with this sort of psychological stuff, but it worked for me.
Emacs has always had a reputation of being a text editor for wizards. And it's even worse as modern computer editors have gone in a completely different direction. IMO, nano is probably the easiest of the standard editors on command line, and vim is somewhere in between.

In democracy you directly vote people not strategies, priorities or bills.

We haven't really seen much variety of democratic governments. It's a classic recipe with the tinies twists. Some ideas:
- vote 5 people not 1
- vote plans, programs and bills instead of people
- vote priorties : education, health, infrastructure ... subsidies ,military
- break down the 4/5 year vote into smaller decisions and more often
- curate the list of candidates based on results
- you get elected by vote but not achieving the promised plan/ results/growth/GDP/... effects takes you out
The problem is both sides will have to give a little. If anybody just caves it'll be political suicide for them.

Although it's also worth mentioning that, while what you say is true, most diets will not work for most people (statistically speaking, from studies). Focusing on calories in / calories out is less important, in my book, than finding a diet that will work for you, because most won't.

The librem 5 is not a phone for most people. Its a phone for mini stallmans who want to still be contactable. I doubt anyone who spends $1000 on this phone with the specs of a $300 phone is planning to install Instagram on it.

The core features people care about on this device is open source firmware, encrypted messaging, open source OS, replaceable parts, headphone jack, and sd card slot.

This is the phone for the people who are not being represented by all the devices made for "most people"
HP/HPE has patents on them and has supposedly made a ton in their labs, but hasn't seemed to get the costs down to make them commercially viable, and may have gotten trapped into some (interesting, but diverting) rabbit holes in the process not helping them commercialize the existing work, such as believing they need to reinvent the computer almost entirely from scratch just because of the memristor [0].

It's not a very weak argument to say that learning LaTeX just so you can write your paper is a waste of time. The caveat is that, for some kinds of papers, it is less of a timewaster than other kinds. Especially if they have alot of math, or some wonky tables.

Ask HN: Path from Software Development to Scientific Research?
There have been many stories of leaving academic STEM research to work in industry as software devs/data scientists/ML researchers, but I haven't heard many stories of people going the other way. What are viable paths for this? I’m not 100% tied to working in academia, but the goal would be to work on the heavily modeling / computational side of research for a scientific application and develop mastery in the application domain.
This may come with pay cuts and years of studying, but I'm willing to make that tradeoff as long as it isn't too dire in the long term

Extra context, if helpful (sorry for the length):

I have a BSc in Math/CS from MIT + 5 years of software developer experience, including some ML work.

Since I’m not 100% sure what scientific problem domain I would like to work on / would reasonably be within reach, my gut feeling is that I should first do an interdisciplinary masters in something like "Computational Science" or "Scientific Computing" that would offer the following:

- Strengthen my foundations in mathematical modeling of different types of problems.

- Discover most fitting application domain. Do enough coursework in that application to start doing effective research.

- Experience working on research for said domain

My undergrad coursework covered foundational material in bio/chem/physics, but I’m willing to put in the work to fill the (possibly huge) gaps in the chosen domain. Over the past 1.5 years, I took a non-degree course in Quantum Computing, several MOOCs in physics, and read voraciously - unfortunately, I feel stuck trying to formalize this and find a path via a non-traditional route.
In Latin/South America, routes like this are handled by private transport called Combis in similar looking vans. They supplement public transport and have been wildly successful as a public/private partnership.

Also, San Francisco and Redwood city are in different counties with different politics, private enterprise is sometimes faster at filling gaps in transit than public government, especially in the short term.

Most of the materials used for this purpose have properties where the resistivity changes as a function of the charge which has gone through it. You can reset the material by a thermal cycle or by applying a larger current through it.

I wonder what effect multiple magnetic poles would have had if they had occurred during the Age of Discovery (15th-18th centuries).

I guess with celestial navigation it would've had less effect that one might think, but it certainly wouldn't have made navigation any easier.

Never been. I’m just here for the comments so the new page isn’t useful for me.
The product that Mongo offers is not the DB itself, though, but support and cloud hosting (Atlas). In practice, most people really only care about the latter. Now that Amazon is offering a competing service that is compatible, cheaper, and (if we believe their claims) better, the question for those commercial users is whether they'll pay Mongo, or pay Amazon. How do you think that's going to work out?
It's a shame to say goodbye to something that is quite synonymous with San Francisco life. From the comments a lot of people don't "get it" and then think that this is the reason it failed. I'm sure it's a decision based on the complexities of scaling and working with each city and county to make a truly successful business that they ran into too many problems.

Not all businesses need to grow to huge heights to not be considered successful. It's a shame they can't continue to operate in the areas that it works well in (such as here in SF). Scoot have had a hard time growing, but are as successful as ever in SF, so that should be seen as a success in itself. We now have very lofty expectations for businesses either Blitzscaling [1] or dying, but surely it doesn't need to be that binary.

Clearly private solutions to commuting need to exist, people are not satisfied with the public transit in most cities. In a capitalist country, the markets will reward those who succeed. Lyft/Uber are helping somewhat, but you can point to as many articles [2] showing how over congested cities become because of them (even with pooling), which take up much more road space than buses. Let's hope someone else gives this another shot, and we don't shoot them down if they don't become a unicorn.

Sea level rise has regional variation due to the gravitational pull of the melting ice. When polar ice melts, there is less gravity at the poles so equatorial regions see higher sea level rise.

Money has nothing to do with a specific language. It comes down to how good you are as a developer. There are plenty of high paying jobs where PHP is used as a backend language. I don't understand this argument about how PHP doesn't have money. It is true that PHP has a lot of low quality programmers due to barrier to entry and WordPress tweaks but that is not it.

I've tried various journaling apps, but I keep coming back to Emacs Org-Mode for my journals and writing because of its excellent tooling and export abilities. I keep a single .org file per year and each entry is a high level heading. I sort by entries with the latest on top by default, but before I export, I use the built in Org-Mode sort to arrange them chronologically based on the associated date tags. It's an extremely simple system, portable, readable as plain text, and GitHub has syntax support. I can't recommend it enough.

Sure. Looking for specific examples, though!

Currently residing in NYC and pretty unhappy about the difficulty of getting out in nature. My ideal town is on the water; not too big; good public transportation; flat enough for biking; forests, mountains and lakes easily reachable by bike/walking/subway; dense urban core for apartment living or small house; decent downtown with some brand name shopping; temperate climate. Plus points for abundant access to public EV charges.

My home town is Oslo, Norway, which ticks all the boxes except the climate one, which always bugged me when I was living there. The lack of daylight and sun is something of a dealbreaker.

Curious what the situation is elsewhere. I've heard good things about Denver and Raleigh, for example, though those aren't so temperate either.

Then perhaps it's not hostile when you know they're leaking the data, but in many cases wouldn't you need to observe them first to establish it and that could be deemed spying.

The wikipedia page on the Icelandic alphabet [0] sheds some light, þorn is runic, eð is from 'd'.

Icelandic employs a 19th century reconstruction of the old norse alphabet noting that "Various old features, like ð, had actually not seen much use in the later centuries" - which corresponds to their merger into one digraph 'th' in English. The article also notes that the letter ð undergoes a devoicing depending on its surroundings.

The intent is that the app dev only cares about getting a database that speaks postgres on the wire (which CockroachDB does). The administrator, via a ResourceClass, gets to specify the actual infrastructure that gets deployed to fulfill that need for postgres. That could be Cloud SQL, or RDS, or even CockroachDB. To the app dev that just needs postgres, those are all the same. Crossplane is already doing similar "dynamic provisioning" for MySQL, Kubernetes clusters, object storage buckets and with more to come like key value stores, message queues, caches, etc.

This is very similar to how a StorageClass is used when a pod asks for a volume. The admin specifies if that's a Google PersistentDisk or Amazon EBS or Ceph RBD, etc. The pod doesn't have to care, it just gets its request for a volume fulfilled.

I'll have to look more into Stolon, that could be interesting here, thanks for that pointer.

Nudity and porn aren't the same thing. Porn is media intended to provoke sexual gratification. If you prefer porn is what the majority would consider material intended for sexual gratification.

Babies aren't sexual and they also don't as far as I can tell have any legal right not to have their parents take or share pictures of them. We could do well not to invent imaginary legal rights.
It would be incredibly catastrophic, considering the FDA has stopped domestic food inspections among other things.
Interesting article, but I have one nit. I don't think your reasoning behind why Objective C does not support overloading is sound. Selectors are completely incompatible with C function names anyway. For example, they are only relevant in the context of classes (which do not exist in C), or example they allow characters that are illegal in C function names in symbols (like ':').

The bigger issue is that to overload a function in a manner similar to C++ you need to have accurate type information, which historically was not available in Objective C since it relies heavily on duck typing and casting objects back through id. If such strong type information was available then the type data could have simply been mangled into the selector by the compiler the same way it is mangled into the symbol name in C++. I suspect that duck typing allowed a lot of productivity and memory wins in the 90s, and that most compilers of the era were not capable of exploiting the strong typing information to optimize as aggressively as they do now, meaning that it was probably the right trade off for the time.

I suppose an alternative implementation of overloading could have been implemented by having objc_msgSend dynamically query the types of all parameters which are overloaded, but that would have resulted in a huge performance hit on every dynamic message dispatch.
