Hi, Data Engineer from Revolut here. Happy to answer questions on how it feels to work here, how things work, and technology stack we use.

Opinions my own.
I paid for AppleCare and Apple fixed my keyboard twice and replaced my display for free. No questions asked.

The counter-argument is that such an expensive machine should not fail.

Hardware suffers from wear-and-tear. My upfront investment for AppleCare more than paid for itself.
Come on. Don't bring r/india here. Keep the discussion meaningful.
Unpopular opinion: using phone ereader because you can pick up and listen on way to commuting.
The only way I've been able to stomach having to use an Atlassian product is through 3rd-party tools that expose it all to a command line interface (jira-cli, for example).

I think there is $45bn worth of unexploited value to be had in fixing the problems with Atlassians' UI designs - the productivity to be gained by not using Jira, and instead training ones staff to be better at standard thing - like, you know, sending emails - seems to me to be a huge opportunity.
I think you're talking about the new Unity ECS, which is a very specific implementation, while the OP talks about the general idea of composition via components, which is indeed overkill for many games.

If you're having an area of code which has a performance problem and can be isolated into a tight loop, the new Unity ECS is probably a good choice, but only in the specific context of Unity. And not because of the idea of "entities, components, and systems", but because the Unity ECS comes with a "toolbox" that makes it simple to run parallel code over flat arrays of structs, and with a limited C# subset created for writing high-performance code.

But it's important to note that outside of Unity, or other "behemoth engines" you can get close to that performance with a lot less effort, just by using a sane data layout and running your code in a simple loop (instead of running the same code in lots of tiny pieces interleaved with unrelated code, as is often the case with "traditional" entity-component systems.

Emmanuel Macron's Appeal for European Renewal
Proposed law to stop items for men and women from being priced differently
This is the unwritten law of California first-time home ownership

That's a cop out. I bought my first home (2 br 2 ba condo) in Mountain View at age 25 with no assistance whatsoever, and at that point was still making well under 100K. I just prioritized accordingly.

To say that's the practice now is one thing, but 20 years ago? Hogwash... especially given the 2001 and 2009 drops.
Probably not, using square windows will still have stress points on the corners regardless of the manifacturing process used.
I should probably have bothered to write more but was on mobile. Anyway, the core of the OP arguments are (a) "Too many rich, old, soft people who now have settled and moneyed lives", (b) "I think you need a good war to refresh a country..." and (c) "sacrifice" (twice)

(a) is not an uncommon sentiment, but usually leads either to to the "fully automated luxury communism" argument that everyone should lead lives of luxury, or that nobody should live in luxury (which is more Pol Pot Maoist). This post leaves it rather ambiguous where the luxury should go. I would accept the argument that the post is Maoist rather than fascist if it came with some elaboration.

(b) is the dead giveaway. The idea of war as stiffener of moral fiber, or renewal of the "people", is the core of Nietsche / Mein Kampf / Triumph of the Will kinds of ideological material. Someone writing that before WW1 could be naive. Someone writing it after WW2, when it became apparent what all this actually meant in practice, is effectively saying that mass murder is better than "indifference and lethargy" or "2nd homes and retirement plans". It's one thing to want to die before you get old, quite another to want to abolish retirement for everyone else through war.

(c) The word "sacrifice" appears twice in the original post, loosely linked to (b). At no point is it clear who is expected to sacrifice what, to whom, and for what purpose. This makes me suspicious that the intended (human?) sacrifice might be ... whom exactly?

(A quick scan of the OP's comment history does not reveal any other comments that look even slightly fascist, so I'm willing to assume this was simply poor taste rather than active malice)
Exactly. Without a qualification test, nobody would pay attention to those detail.
If your model framework supports it, you can export it to ONNX and there’s JS frameworks that support serving ONNX models.
> Rights that aren't asserted are not likely to be respected.

I don't see that happening at all. I find this whole activism trope a dangerous game, they indoctrinate each other with a mindest to disregard empirical data and disrespecting authorities put in place by governments.

> do things like prevent cisgender men and women from using anything other than unisex bathrooms

I'm pretty convinced that where I live you can use whichever bathroom you like, while dressing like the unicorn you are. I'll still be using a urinal, though, because I don't want to make a mess for people, cis or not cis, that need to use the bathroom for more serious business.

I condemn violence, especially against one-legged single-parent dwarves.

Open Source Synthetic Patient Generation
Once, long ago I landed in a house in Poznan, Poland which had the wreck of a Bosendorfer baby grand piano sitting in one of the rooms. I had a lot of time on my hand and tried to figure out the story behind the piano. After tracing the owner it turned out that he was trying to 'restore' the piano but in the process had butchered it and had sent parts all over Poland for refurbishing. For some strange reason the Action was in Gdansk but the hammers were in Warsaw, and the dampers were in yet another location.

I bought the piano and bit by bit collected all the other pieces from wherever they had ended up. What really didn't help is that they had ripped out all of the strings except for the basses, and in the process had scratched the soundboard quite badly.

Over the course of a year I rebuilt it bit by bit with a lot of knowledge gleaned from a local piano tuner, Marek Koczy (he died some years ago). Finally at the end of all that I had a really nice piano, except for one little detail: it had to be tuned up from scratch.

Tuning up a piano from zero is a lot harder than it seems. As the tension on the cast iron frame increases it deforms a bit, enough to de-tune everything you've done up to that point. So the only way to get this done is to tune the whole thing up gradually and to pace yourself so you don't end up overstretching part of the frame or end up in a never ending cycle of de-tunings.

It took me a month, I could probably do it much faster a second time. Never realized that your ears could be tired either, after a couple of hours of tuning I was unable to hear the subtle beats that tell you that you are getting close, very low frequency and soft you need to really pay attention.

Keeping the rest of the piano quiet (especially when it is still a mess) with sympathetic resonances each of which will have their own harmonics is also quite a trick, in the end I used strips of felt woven through the strings that were not 'in scope'.

All in all a fantastic experience and I would be happy to just work on restoring musical instruments. The piano when it was done got donated to the Conservatory of Poznan where it still is in use today, with my lack of skills in play I did not feel that keeping it was right, an instrument like that should be used as much as possible.

edit: HAH! I am so happy. So, the message that Marek had died reached me in a pretty roundabout way through friends from long ago, I did not verify in any way that it was true. So, after writing this little bit above I decided to type his name into google to see if there was an obituary, but instead I found he's alive and well!! https://spsf.pl/pl/marek-koczy/

I will definitely send him a message and maybe go visit, he's one of the nicest people I ever met and had endless patience teaching me all the tricks of the trade.
Your answer is also a sentiment in other answers.

I just wanted to say: thank you for being so clear. I am starting my job search but already have done quite a bit for a recent college grad and I'm exactly hitting the issues that you're stating here.

One question: how can I make up for the fact that I did iOS development in 2014, web development in 2017/2018 and teaching in between (2015/2016)?

Should I just put a white lie on my resume and claim everything was: web development, iOS development or education? Depending on the idea that people who give references are willing to lie for me because they know what I'm capable of?

It's a very directed question, I'm sure there are other strategies and I wonder what strategy one should use for a gapped resume like mine (in terms of web dev, ios dev or being a lecturer/teacher).

Good job man, have you ever considered taking it few steps further.

I would really appreciate, if an application would go through my RSS feeds and offer me neutral news (without any comments or etc.) only facts in summary.

Imagine you have 15 different news from 15 different sources about same topic. Let's say "Microsoft's new Chromium-Edge Browser" Each tech site is writing about it from their perspective. Some say it is quite cool, some say it is just a Chrome clone. I would appreciate a summary of this 15 web site without additional comments.

What do you think?
I am good at programming, but I wasn't bad at chemistry either. I could have chosen to go study that instead, or gone into bioinformatics. I still could. There's plenty of software involved in modeling cell functions, which I imagine is pretty significant for curing cancer. Yet here I am, doing other stuff out of my free will.

I'm happy at my current job, but if I truly wanted to make the world a better place there would be more effective ways to do that (cancer research being one of them).
Ok I'm trying to parse that, and marry that with my own understanding.

The linked article seems to suggest that window corners weren't the cause of the crashes.
My understanding is that corners can lead to propagation of cracks etc, thus why modern aircraft window have a large window radius. And large radius windows require less reinforcement, and thus weight.

They aren't contradictory are they?

This is dumb, because price controls are dumb. The items are not the same. And if they are, why would women not simply buy men's items, if they think they are cheaper?
I'm obviously not rationalizing slavery. That's absurd. My point is to try to show context of what world those people lived in, I clearly said that.

The parent comment suggests some glaring flaw in their conception of liberty. Was it a glaring flaw? Yes. But it's important to understand that in the context of their belief system.

Do you eat animal products? Have you any idea what kind of abuses take place? Do you consume products produced by people whose lives are defined by insecure access to healthcare, safety or even nutrition? Do you contribute to the horrendous destruction of our environment? Work in sv? How many homeless people do you step over on your way to work?

It would be better if people got off their moral high horses and stopped taking for granted the liberty and prosperiry they have available to them here in America.

And politicians and bureaucrats certainly profit from those very schemes.

Also, this product seems only targeted at those direly needing edge computing, thus missing out on many who might be using Firebase and Serverless (Lambda/Functions etc) for the works. Is that intentional?
> The question presupposes that avoiding war would avoid "brutal violence, intense prolonged suffering, anguish and grief" later. In many cases, that's not the case. Instead, the decline can bring with it violence, intense prolonged suffering, anguish and grief -- only without anybody doing anything before to resist those things.

Sure; if you can convince me that any given war will avert more harm than it causes, I'll (intellectually at least) agree that it's justified. But at large temporal and geographical scales, with insanely complicated and only vaguely understood systems at work, you need an extremely strong argument to justify an action that will definitely lead to terrible consequences in the near term.

The comment we're discussing falls far short of such an argument. In fact it doesn't even seem to aim at making one -- and not just in the sense that it's (understandably) very abstract and lacking any kind of detail. As far as I can tell it is motivated by nationalism, and certainly not by any desire to prevent greater suffering. Its idea of failure sounds more like a (relatively) peaceful transition:

> You know I lately think that, ok, we're mostly past the age of empires physically conquering one another, we're in the age of economic ebbs and flows of established countries.

> And in this kind of age, the thing that sinks a country is not aggression by others, but indifference and lethargy as a country "gets old".
Not sure that has anything to do with slowness or appreciation. It has to do if you enjoy the material and then if it's worth your time.

I kinda liked Apocalypse Now. I am not rewatching Redux, it's just too long. I have no problem rewatching the 3 extended editions of the Lord of the Ring, even one after the other.
C preprocessor supports the `#line` directive that can specify a custom source file/line combination. The compiler (or the runtime code with `__FILE__` and `__LINE__` macros) can then use it to report the location of the error.

There was no enough competition before jio appeared. Airtel even reduced my measly 135MB packs to 130MB. Now they are removing lifetime incoming calling as well. When you have these kind of operator no wonder people don't care.
This. I'm gonna cut to the chase: that line is probably the most fascist thing I'm going to read all day, and excepting you, Hacker News has failed to call it out. This idea that war can somehow mythically rejuvenate the ethos or spirit of a country isn't unique to fascism though. It was also common in the jingoist imperial western european powers, and partly used as justification for aggression against neighbors and abroad.

This is disgusting to see at the top of the comment thread. Anyone who upvoted that comment needs to engage in some serious introspection.

This tactic, of identifying a problem that may have some real validity, but then making logical leaps into absurdity, is typical of postmodern types like Bannon. How exactly does war solve the problem identified? Who are we to watch against?

It's not always about the words that are said. There's a subtext or more than one. The given justification isn't always the real justification, it just has to be plausible enough to get the real message out, seen in that last line. The overton window opens, and those on the sidelines who might have kept similar thoughts to themselves can now be drawn in and engaged. And that last sentence creeps closer to becoming real.

Oppose these ideas and these tactics, HN.
Many of these great "empires" were simply extended looting machines, once they ran out of looting opportunities they collapsed in the same way that a Ponzi collapses when it run out of new "investors". While things were good, it was all golden, glitter and glam, and many tall buildings.

Loot of course takes many forms, gold, silvers, the work of serfs, the work of slaves, monopolies on trade routes, monopolies on trades itself and of course looting of weak environments itself.

The aftermath is what is sustainable, but this difference between the glitter and the sustainable is very boring and what the historians call a dark age or dark period because its not newsworthy even thought it is actually the origin of the next age of expansion.

I've never, in any of the many comment threads on Dragonfly, found a Chinese person who thinks otherwise.

All my Chinese relatives I've talked to also feel the same way, and from their reports, the majority of Chinese people feel the same way.

Right, but if it weren't for the USB forum's BS, that mouse would use a 12 Mbit/s link and be labelled "USB 1"

But no, thanks to their long-established BS you slap a USB C connector on that 12Mbit/s connection and congrats, you've got a USB 4 mouse.
This is a bit off-topic, but it has been on my mind for a while.

Has the Rust team considered that choosing cute names like "crate" might turn away some of the target audience?

The same applies to other ecosystems like homebrew, but in the case of Rust some of the target audience certainly includes C/C++ programmers.
"Netflix also benefits from TV/movies being more fungible"

Is this really the case? I mean, is there any research on this? I would guess exactly opposite is the case: I personally don't care about background music in most situations, but if I'm watching a film for two hours, I'm going to be very selective.

That means that Netflix in its current state is useless for me. As much as I applaud them for some of their production, the combination of half-empty catalogue and forced subscription model is going in the exactly wrong direction. I would pay one-time fee for Roma. I would pay subscription for a good catalogue.

Now, I don't state that it's not the case that most consumers does not care about what they watch as much as they care about what they listen. I'm just interested in some empirical data on this.
You can't use ReCaptcha (or any captcha) for ads. Captchas work because they prevent access to content users want until they solve the captcha.

If you put ads behind a captcha? Well in all honesty you're just doing a service to the user by hiding the ads behind a captcha they're never going to solve (even if they are not robots) because it's not in their best interest to do so.

The scary thing is that humanity is highly susceptible to another plague whether it is STD like AIDS or some other transmission. We live in contact with strangers. Air travel can carry a diseaes around the world in a couple of days. This was depicted in many scifi movies like Contagion.

And gays have not really changed their habits. If you read the profiles on Grindr, the gay hookup app, many people claim to be on the prophalyptic PReP drug regime which allows the more pleasurable and dangerous version of unprotected sex. It wont be HIV but something new.

Humankind has lived with plagues for 10,000 years since agriculture and urbanization has created the population density that allow plagues to flourish. There are plenty of stories where some plague kills off half to 90% of a village goinf all the way back to Classical Greece.

Never watched that show but might give it a try. Aside from personally wishing I had such a tool when growing up, one of my inspirations for this comes from Superman's parents. They send their son to earth with a hologram AI version of themselves recorded in the ships computer or crystals. Superman later in life used to chat with them and learn about his origins and true parents.

The market doesn't optimize for fairness, but for profit. If they can sell a product to women for more money if you color it in pink and write "Lady" on the packaging, they will (if those really are the only differences as suggested in the article). It's similar to that story where travel sites charged more if they identified people as Mac users - because they can.
Consider fentanyl to be a weapon against the West, which China has no intention of curtailing.

If people are to stop dying, they MUST find a way to not use it. Get off fentanyl or die. Get off fentanyl and find a way to live, and take the pain of life.

Perhaps Magnitsky style sanctions on companies and executives producing fentanyl would be effective in reducing supply, but demand is the ultimate problem.
This really does read like satire... but OK.

You could put CPU and bandwidth throttles on your browser of choice to halve (or whatever) its performance. Or you could replace your current computer with an older, slower one, just for web browsing. Getting poorer performance isn't exactly difficult. Move your browser install and cache from an SSD to an old and slow HDD? There are loads of options.
Im not surprised though - the cost is prohibitive. And even if they provide a free tool for 2 years, what kind of bill do you expect.

I believe this market is ripe for disruption. A clone, very differentiated by focus would certainly eat away and bring more aligned pricing. Right now, Segment are literally the only folks who do what they do. They do it well, but its not affordable to bootstrapped startups.
