I am surprised how small is a number of people that use vertical (portrait) display setup (I do). I have always found vertical space much more necessary than horizontal space. Most workloads will not fill a wide-screen display, and arranging multiple windows horizontally is usually a pain (the only case where it works well for me is for comparing two code windows or data sets which are organized in lines - comparing horizontally works much better in this way), as is looking at them. Vertical arrangement works much better for me. Downside - most displays are not able to rotate. It's a simple thing to do, probably costs nothing, but finding a rotating model is a pain - most manufacturers won't even tell if it rotates, you have to guess from the look of it. I wish this scenario was better supported...
It may even be a post-viral syndrome, which is virtually impossible to detect.

How did you order the cards that you capture and place at the bottom of your deck? That could have an effect on the game. For example, it seems to me that you would maximize your chances by placing the cards in high to low order by value at the bottom of your deck.
Where do start to learn Cyber Security?
Hi HN!

I'm a web engineer working mostly with Rails/Phoenix/Node and React. I want to learn more about security to be able to 1. build more secure applications, and 2. help client secure their existing apps.

What are good resources for this?
How would you even know if it is right? This is such an obvious fox guarding the henhouse situation. The government would have a clear incentive to not offer you the deductions you are eligible for, and taxes are complex, so it would be easy to hide the deductions. It would only be a matter of time before the perverse incentives of the government would take over the process.

The main result of this would be the government stealing from poor and middle class people who should've spent less than $100 on a 3rd party tax preparer that is incentivized to act in the interest of the taxee.
It doesn't though. A load of it just gets ploughed back into the ground.
I agree with your comment. The OP is using a 43" TFT. I've had a TFT side by side with an IPS monitor, and I much prefer an IPS panel. I find it easier on the eyes.
I've tried dozens.

You also have to try them in your terminal or editor, because on the web isn't the same experience.
That kind of confusion happens because people don't understand how ownership really works. Stocks are not compensation in the sense as deferred bonus, but really more like ownership(albeit whatever small amount of it).

Say I went ahead and bought 10,000 shares in some company X for $10,000(A mutually agreed transaction, in which company accepted the money for a percentage of ownership). Now I just choose to buy-and-forget it for say 30 years. At the 31st year, the company makes it big, say the value of each share now is $1000. Now my shares are worth $1,000,000,000 . Imagine the current CEO of X, saying its `unfair` or `dead weight` or `undeserving` or whatever because the per unit of stock price went up.

Its the same thing with employees. The company just paid, stocks instead of money. How would it be any different than some investor putting in the money and buying the same amount of shares for that same amount of money and getting rich later?

If you really think your company is going to be very rich. You shouldn't even bother to pay in stocks. Just pay good salaries and be done with it. The trouble is most people know their companies are going to fail, so they have no qualms in giving imaginary points of ownership, only to realize later it could have all been theirs.
No, I don't and have never had relationship with Google except being a (non-commercial) user of their services. I would have given a disclaimer had I been.

My experience of Google is that they excel at marketing their own supposed best intentions while delivering the worst of them.

>> My personal experience has actually been quite opposite. I think had they been marketing their services properly (and not just to geeks) they'd have been at a much better place than they are today. I think Apple is a world class standard when it comes to marketing.
The killer feature of web is that there are at least 5 implementations from major vendors (Mozilla, Google, apple, Microsoft, Opera). Nothing else come close. I've been burned too many times before by discontinued products to use anything else for UI.
I have some friends who planted (4) four tomato plants in a ~6'x6' planter in their backyard. Fast forward a few months and they're overrun with tomatoes. Salsa, pasta sauce, food dehydrator running constantly, foisting their bounty upon friends and lovers. I was severely impressed by their yield.
I work in Film Postproduction and work as a soundesigner or re-recording mixer and also mix music from time to time.

In audio production you can really feel the difference between 16 bit Audio and 24 bit. Just like in photography were RAW only really makes a difference when you start to manipulate the data you really start to hear the difference between 16 and 24 bit once you work with recordings.

24 Bit allows more “shades” of loudness between the loidest signal and absolute silence. This means the above statements depend on the dynamic range of the recording, which is arguably too low in these days.

As an output format 16bit should be enough for most scenarios and except for a few edge cases hearing the difference of a well mastered 16bit recording to the same thing in 24 bit should be nearly impossible.

This however refers all to uncompressed audio. Depending on your audio gear you can definitly can hear a difference between uncompressed/lossless and lossy mp3 compression even at 320kbps. The same is true for 330kbps vs 128kbps mp3.

I must admit that I cannot differenciate between uncompressed and opus 256kbps.

If you do anything that needs audio compression I strongly recommend looking at the Opus Codec

> Many don't even seem to realize that all they are getting is a repayment for an interest free loan they have been giving to one of the largest and wealthiest organization/government in the world.

Ah, hmm, yes, they just don't realize. Those poor benighted fools.

Or maybe? Maybe they don't care. Take me, for example. I don't care. I've thought about it. I could spend more time screwing with my taxes to optimize my returns, or even go to no withholding whatsoever. Or I could enjoy my finite time on this planet, 'cause the amount of money we're talking about is marginal for me and I do pretty well for myself.

(And to make one thing very clear: the downright fearmongering about a "75% tax rate" are just that and are not worthy of further address. Even were there a salient point in the bottom of this well, this isn't it.)
The other commenters haven't said this yet: it's short for "maximum repetitions".
Okay, that wasn't stated... and that's unheard-of among US transit systems AFAIK.
I'm not sure if this is a common sentiment, but wouldn't an architect that does not know how to code have a very hard time convincing the other (seniors, but in particular juniors I guess) engineers to follow their designs? I guess it is possible to fake a while , but only a while...
In the UK you don’t have to sign anything unless you are going your own taxes. If you are charged too much you can claim a refund, not sure if there is a time limit but if so I think it’s pretty long. The revenue service is audited and there are independent consumer protection groups that can help people who need it.

Also the online tax forms are actually really good. The government has a web team that has radically simplified and unified all sorts of government web forms and made a huge difference.

Wrong thread, but so far as I’m aware, we don’t pay 75% tax in the UK.
I think a lot of these fonts deserve a little blurb about their history and purpose. For example Liberation Mono (version 2+) and Cousine are fundamentally the same font available under the same SIL Open Font License https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts#Distribution

Personally I use and recommend Liberation Mono / Cousine at 9pt / 12px. I've been using this font for years so it's just ended up what I'm the most comfortable with for both reading and writing.
Other than the fact that it costs time and money to write this software? And as other commenters have mentioned, people have tried to do this in the spirit of “open source”. It’s just that the problem it’s solving is something that can be viewed as an artificial one.
Of course it's going to be healthy but the more important question is sustainability. Some can keep up these sort of regimes, but for most that's a purely new years resolution style plan.

By contrast very simple things like mostly cutting sugar out of your diet, intermittent fasting, etc can have huge results and are very sustainable since they take practically 0 effort. It's important to do what you can realistically see yourself doing for the rest of your life.
I’ve Been fortunate enough since my first job to always find a place that wants me and sells themselves. Once in a while i ran into companies that tried the testing and other bs and i either just left or told them it would’nt happen and they accepted. Stuff like being allowed to use Linux in a Windows only organisation or not be locked in for x months was something i could talk through.
Your points would be received better without the sarcasm in your opening sentence.

Regarding your point that this tax will be hard to enforce, why do you think this is harder than to enforce than the cornucopia of taxes and construction rules we have today?

Regarding your point about leaving buildings 80% finished, there can be another tax on land not put to productive use. This would include both land left empty, and unfinished construction. In return for these taxes, eliminate other taxes like property tax, stamp duty, registration, transfer of ownership, etc.

I believe that the income tax paid in California is higher than in the UK for the median household.

Now correct me if I am wrong, I have only filed tax in the US for a single tax year so I might be missing something. But for the median household income in California of around $66,529, you would be paying an effective tax rate of around 24%. (using this website: https://smartasset.com/taxes/california-tax-calculator#wWyPf...). And yes, I realize this is excluding deductions.

In the UK, the median household income is £27,300 and you would have an effective tax rate of around 19.6% (https://www.uktaxcalculators.co.uk/), also excluding deductions.

Of course higher salaries attract higher taxes in the UK, but if the above is correct, then the average person should be paying less tax in the UK than in California.

That seems reasonable. But from my understanding the complaint was that someone was promised $x over four years and then let go after two years, and lost $x/2.
why are you even interviewing for these "random companies desperate to find anyone qualified" if you are so disgusted by them?

The elitism of some engineers is mind boggling, instead of being grateful working in an industry that has so much demand that you can easily find a job at anytime, you complain about the process being insulting to your oh-so-important persona.

If i really want to work for a certain company because what they are doing excites me, then yes, i'd do a 6 hour take home test where I can probably also learn a thing or two and I am willing to bet a lot of other developers would too. As an interviewer, someone charging >$1000 for a take home test would be an immediate red flag and our mindsets probably don't match up.

If this works fine for you, kudos.

Spot on. The reasons are exactly right too; seniority and "ability to recall obscure minutia from college years" are inversely correlated, for obvious reasons.

Companies need to understand that not only are they mis-selecting, but they're broadcasting that they're doing so to all the candidates that go through that process.

Approaching candidates with textbook-style algo or data structure questions merely informs that they're going to be working with an educated but overall somewhat junior lot. That's not necessarily always a deal killer, but it's probably not the image that these interviews are hoping to project.

For well-qualified candidates not applying at an industry headliner like AppAmaGooBookSoft, the interview process quickly inverts itself, and it becomes more about the company selling the candidate on their offer than the candidate selling the company on their skillset. Tread carefully.
500 calories a day corresponds to about 500 grams of fat in a week. That's surprisingly easy to do by skipping dessert and pointless snacks. 1 kg a week of weight loss is pretty aggressive and if you aren't doing anything else, I'll guess that some of that is just normal weight variation. If I'm trying to lose weight, I'll track it every day, but only note the average amount over 1 month for that reason.

Some other pretty quick wins are drinks -- soft drinks, juice, milk, beer... doesn't really matter what, but it's about 200 calories per 500 ml. If I want to shed a kg just drinking water for a week or two often does the trick (too much beer :-P ). Things with pointless fat are often really high in calories too: salad dressing, butter on toast, muffins/cakes/cookies (a single muffin can often weigh in at between 500-1000 calories!), potato chips. Peanuts are crazy too: 570 calories for 100 grams of peanuts!

Although it is currently an unpopular view, I've found that many people are completely unaware of how many calories they are actually taking in. It's not hard to push your daily intake up to 3000 calories without really realising it. Getting it down to 2000 again is often not that difficult from a "what should I eat" perspective. People frequently have other issues with food, though, and I don't want to minimise the difficulty that some people have losing weight.

I’ve had trouble finding those systems or algorithmic jobs too, like the grandparent, where some kind of engineering quality matters, be it performance or correctness or something. Everyone wants to hire a “full-stack engineer” to write application code that a junior dev could write, but they want someone senior anyway.
The Terminus font doesn't seem to render properly there. Possibly it's just my browser but I use that font all the time in the terminal. Here it looks glitchy/aliased or something.

For cars, my guess would be that a) it allows you to entirely disconnect the UI work from the work on actual car, and run it in parallel, and b) it looks cool and futuristic in ads. I don't see how either would apply for planes, though. There, I suspect it's an attempt to manage the amount of data a pilot needs to see at any given moment, and to enable equipment changes without rebuilding the cockpit.
It's easy to retweet a thread, and to start reading a retweeted thread because it's right there in Twitter. Reading an article from a tweeted link is a bigger effort investment.

Also, Twitter threads lend itself to stream-of-consciousness style of writing. Putting together an actual article will involve drafting and editing and be more work.

> The difference between talking (very intelligently) and doing is huge

To be fair it is environment dependent more than anything else. Forget competence, charisma, intelligence, and everything else about the candidate that could bias their selection and instead look at processes and code already in place the new candidate is jumping into. Does the environment strongly favor original ideas/solutions or does it dictate the narrow acceptance in the most narrow of boundaries?

I have been on both ends of this as well. It is common in software for shops to define success in extraordinarily shallow terms such as whether you are using spaces versus tabs and indenting properly. Another example I experienced last year is whether you should write a giant monster configuration or a small function that receives a single argument. The reasons why shops coat themselves in blankets of code style and configuration is because they typically don't trust their developers and instead strive for a normalized baseline. They are looking for wonderful solutions, but rather task completion.

The lack of conformance isn't necessarily an indication of lower capability, but it is an indication of incompatibility. Competence and conformance are wildly out of sync when the candidate is misjudged relative to the work available. That is completely an assignment failure opposed to a candidate failure. Having gone through this myself it has taught me to ask very probing questions, as a candidate, during the interview. If, as a senior, I can determine I will not be a good fit I will happily disqualify myself.

> A coach like Bill Belichick might have a fantastic, detailed answer demonstrating a thorough understanding of every aspect of football past and present, but he could never make the throw himself.

Would you really hire a coach to be your quarterback? Is that a thought you would really entertain? Even if that coach could do that job he/she would be more valuable doing other work. I would consider this a solid example of interviewer/assignment failure.
