You have to wonder though whether the effort spent building Build Accelerator would be better spent fixing Bazel bugs on Windows. Bazel really has no equal on the Linux side, and Google's internal version (+Forge and other systems) is far and away the best dev experience I've ever seen anywhere.
A worthy product, but it is hard for me to understand what they would do it for more than a few employees… Or is there something I’m missing?
could you elaborate on this? when did they say this and what did they mean? like apple?
You can do this with plain zip files as Python can unpack and execute in-memory. But you have to extract non-Python code such as C libraries at runtime somewhere so the OS can link them. I would be interested to know how the packagers you mentioned get around this, or if they too use temporary files and unpack.
You take some risk while externalizing the risk of insolvency to your customers.

It’s what every insurance company and bank does.

Or if you don’t want to do that, put it in treasuries or something and take your 1,2,3% of whatever it may be.

Tether could have replicated either strategy, but seems to not have.

They could also have profited from those that lost their keys (it happens).
I think this is a totally naive viewpoint. Despite the memes, Airpods aren't just a mere status symbol (and as status symbols they are very poor ones, which I think is the whole joke about airpods => rich). What makes them incredible is their seamlessness. They do have occasional bluetooth fuckery but they felt like the first wireless earbuds that just worked^TM.
jep. it can cause hard to trace errors and makes reproducible build more difficult.
My family should be comfortably above the 200k, but I know a number of people who are below the 200k threshold, even in the NY metro area. One of the biggest factors tends to be whether a person has had a major health issue that prevented the person from working. The medical bills + the inability to work are a double-whammy. If you were laid off and it takes 6 months plus to find a job, you're spending your savings. Outside of NY, CA, and other major metropolitan areas the median income is much lower. For example the median income in Richmond, Indiana is just under $30k. If you live paycheck to paycheck for much of your life, you probably never got the chance to save much for retirement

1) The value of $200k varies where in the US you are. Outside of California and the northeast metropolis' like NYC, Boston etc, that's a reasonable amount of money, especially in rural areas, because that money stretches farther. 2) It's very easy to spend your way through one's retirement savings if you have a healthcare issue or get laid off during a recession or have some reason why you can't work consistently. 3)
I see lots of people saying they do this on the blind app but i've never met anyone yet who seems to actually be getting there. best way to get wealth as a software engineer is working consistently at high paying jobs, save your money and invest it, don't try for riches at startups.
I wonder if Chinese tech students who are unable to find jobs in sensitive sector in America will have to return to China, leading to a reverse brain drain.

The Chinese nuclear weapons program and missile program were both helped greatly when Qian Xuesen[1], one of the co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, returned to China during the Red Scare in the 1950s.

If I were you, I would answer with this eloquent quote: “I do not work on side projects for money. Neither do I intend to. Thats what my day job is for. I just want to involve more minds interested in similar things that I'm racking my head against”

I seriously don’t know a better way to put it. Why not use your own words?
Astronauts can make money from their adventures the same way presidents do:

1. After the job is over and they retire
2. By making personal appearances or writing a book

Presidents generally don't take mementos on official state trips so they can sell them on eBay when they get back.

In my view it's mostly about justification.

What's your age, sex, and race? These are questions that, in and of themselves, are not private. Any stranger on the street who sees you could immediately answer them. And if you've ever posted a picture on the net, you can add far more people. And you probably wouldn't be bothered if every single person in the world knew the answer to this question. And in fact you've probably told everybody the answer to these questions, even if indirectly, in your own posts.

Yet in spite of all of this, you probably would not want to tell me. And that's largely because I have absolutely no justification in asking or knowing this. If I said I was surveying developers, and you believed me, then you'd probably be more than willing to submit this information to me however.

Google wants to harvest massive amounts of information on me to, at best, try to get me to purchase things I otherwise would have no desire to purchase. And that is, again, at best. This is the same company that literally black-listed the term "human rights" for their proposed engine in China. [1] To imagine they won't, if they are not already, use that information for even more nefarious ends is being naive.

So on this front I couldn't care less if every disinterested person in the world knows what I had for breakfast (it was muesli), yet I would not want Google to have this information, because I don't think they are justified in knowing it. More sensitive information just ends up reaching a higher and higher standard of required minimal justification.

Has anyone gotten that kind of call from the FBI and can shed light on how the process works? Would be fascinating for a outsider and provide a guide on what next steps look like for those poor souls that receive the call in the future.

I left Google years ago and have a few crazy stories about Eric, but it might be still too early for some of them.

He was very approachable and understood well the technology that we were building. Most of my colleagues seemed to like him, too. He wasn't the money guy at the top of the org chart that doesn't understand his own products. That was even clearer when I talked to him in person once, after a company-wide meeting. He wasn't in a rush to get away from us plebeians, either.

Someone next to me made a comment about surveillance and he replied along the lines of "You know, I grew up in the Hoover days", explaining that he had seen the potential for abuse of power or personal information since a young age and that he held that as something to keep in mind or avoid when making strategic decisions.
Are you working on anything intensely? I find that when I am researching something with a reasonable amount of depth, I always find areas that are not treated well and that could use a better article on particular areas.
It’s funny because fate of the world’s longest car is somehow even worse than if it had been completely destroyed and recycled, with nothing recognizable left. One would prefer it had disappeared completely, mysteriously or abruptly, and totally forgotten and lost.

In the 1988 Guinness Book of World Records, they had a picture and description of that limousine, and I remember imagining what the owner’s life must be like, to have such a thing.

The reality though, is that it was all bullshit. The world record for such a thing is a joke. None of it matters, and the remains simply fester and decay. Ah, childhood.
Ask HN: How do I solve my technical inadequacy and make the jump?
I'm going to lay it all out there as I feel like I'm approaching a midlife crisis at 35:

I love technical work and programming, however I have no tertiary education directly related to development. I do dev work outside of work hours for "passion" projects (games related, no illusions of becoming professional) so I believe I could be considered motivated and interested in learning.

I have ~15 years of dev work, however this has always been in a team (currently 5 years) where I am the most technical member. Whilst I have engaged in constant reading and self directed learning, ultimately I don't think I am up to scratch with expected dev experience/ability/knowledge of tools and workflows. I held scrum master certification, however my boss was not on board with enforcing principles (not complaining, it's his call) so I would consider myself a "beginner" here as well.

I am well paid in my current job (location: Sydney, Australia, ~125k + benefits), however I would like to change to a company where there is opportunity to work in a team of/with devs so I can learn.

I am experienced with c#, js, typescript, ms sql and primarily write tools to help internal teams/automate business processes/ease reporting. I don't particularly enjoy web work and my ideal (but not necessity) is to move to statically typed dev work (would love to work with rust or go but I have no professional experience).

I have experience with leading and implementing projects over the APAC region to comply with vendor reporting requirements and automation of business processes.

The truth is I don't know if my skills/experience translate as I have never been part of a truly technical, experienced team. What is an industry recognised way of increasing my technical competence? Should I be looking at some sort of PM role or something?

I am considering going back to university to do a degree in computer science, but if there are alternatives I would love to hear about them.
Microsoft has something like 30K devs. 30K builds a day seems really, really low.
Real problem is that the West decided to educate its competitors.

Now they can get other keep them and hurt their own tech workers or compete against them.

The real solution is to not the problem in the first place, by enforcing ITAR like regulations on education.

- once upon a time, roughly 18 years ago -

They found a better name for my condition than "hypochondria." They renamed it atypical cystic fibrosis.

It's a variation on a dread disease with a short life expectancy.

I began getting healthier. My doctor expressed zero curiosity and scheduled me fewer appointments.

Fast forward 18 years, the internet likes to claim I have Munchausen. In other words, I've come full circle from "crazy" to "legitimate medical condition" to another variation of "crazy" for the crime of rudely getting healthier when the world says "You can't do that!"

https://gist.github.com/rcugut/c7abd2a425bb65da3c61d8341cd4b... it's this "known" unfixable issue and i was too lazy to do the workaround properly(i want to work with node not spend another hour figuring out the intricacies of node's interaction with brew) and googling online led me to the simple solution of just installing the package from node directly.

big fail imo
That's my point - it works. What's wrong with this approach? I have not investigated neither python nor node way (while I use both) and as user I don't care (maybe I should, I don't know).

To angry self: I dont entirely trust Wikipedia to give an objective/apolitical view of things all the time: there've been times where articles have been noticably influenced by a defacto, anachronistic political (progressive) position.

People are already driving from the exurbs, so a 2 hour commute from Pittsburg, CA to Downtown San Francisco (30 miles) would drop to 15 minutes in a car flying at 120mph. That's better than a typical intra SF commute. If you look at a 30 mile radius it is a tremendous area for living potential.

A species that destroys its habitat will go extinct.

Boeing CEO refuses to admit 737 MAX 8 is flawed
I read one bit of utopian fiction where the propagation of digital production was limited to a nearby social circle. That way, people weren't constantly comparing their photographs with the best photographer in the world, or their musical compositions with the best musician in the world. People would specialize and create things, but for the benefit of their social circle, not the entire world. I wonder if something like that, but for Instagram, might be worth considering.
As many as it takes. Why should anyone care about unrelated statistics like human deaths?
Parents, educators, and older siblings need to own some of that suicide rate, for not teaching reality. Scoring low on an exam is not the end, but instead a situation that must be handled. Learn how the fuck to survive disappointment.

Everyone is NOT going to get top grades. In fact, if you look at percentiles, someone has to be on the bottom.

Instead, consider a test score as an indicator of strengths and weaknesses but not an all encompassing measurement of a person. Easy to say, right? Look at the bigger picture of a person and it becomes obvious how much of a waste it is to not teach young people to look at the bigger picture and deal with life on that basis.

Kids, you have four options:
Accept / get better / retest / change path.

This is actually more common than you'd think. There are plenty of older wooden boats still fishing both in the lower 48 and up north. The old halibut schooners are some of the most prized boats out there.
There's been to many proofs that Chinese 'students' and 'researches' are actually well-organized spy circles, controlled from outside, both stealing every technology related stuff they can, and disseminating propaganda in the U.S. under direct supervision from China. They are not say like Russian or Indian students who try to adapt, blend into the ecosystem, and make it there. They are instruments in their State's hands. It's just a normal self-defense.
Short range electric planes are being manufactured presently.

This wont be able to decarbonize anything until surplus carbon free energy is generated for it use - that need not take decades with proper governmental policies, but it means this technology will not lead the way.
>I kind of want these issues to continue and get worse. Because then we will have a healthcare revolution, rather than more bandaid policy fixes.

This is the justification I hear for a lot of my "bernie or bust" friends. I always just assumed they were trying to justify voting themselves tax cuts. I mean, in a revolution, those of us in the tech sector... I don't see it going well for us. Normal people hated us before we became the new "upper class" - if it ever becomes acceptable to go around killing "rich" people - I bet we'll be among the first.

the problem is that this means we end up with trump, who teams up with a lot of people who think that it's good that people without good jobs don't have access to healthcare.
As well, think of the kind of impact 5mil would have on archive.org.
Yes, you can totally fire them. These aren't labor issues (i.e. working conditions or unionization which might provide some protection), and this isn't political protest /outside/ work. This is no different than, "I refuse to work in Java because I hate it," and you get fired.
Ok, agreed on pretty much all counts there.

Twitter is very much not obligated to pass along any random person's terrible views (and thanks for the disclaimer; no interest in seeing that argument again). If Trump decides to conduct official business there, they aren't quite facing compelled speech because they can (in theory) ban him; the outcome we'd hopefully get is that his official speech is restricted, but Twitter is free to host him or not.

I suppose at this point the only question is whether a government-proxy rationale applies to airports in this specific case, since I definitely agree that Kayak or Travelocity couldn't be required to accept these ads on their site.

The difficulty of sourcing parts is _directly_ related to how much ownership one has over repairability. If the sourcing of parts becomes overly difficult or impossible, one effectively loses the ability to repair the device how they wish.

I really like the stuff by Zeit but if you've been a user for more than a year it's insane how quickly the platform is shifting under your feet.

"The latest version of the CLI is now x.x.xx" - and all that stuff you think you knew how to do has changed. And we've added a useful feature that's only documentation is Github issue #432.

Also this email is to inform you that you've been charged incorrectly because you're on Now v1. Upgrade to Now v2 for cheaper rates. It's simple, just follow these 8 steps, change your entire mental-model of how everything works, and flip this obscure option in your settings.

It's as if their development process is a bunch of hackathons thrown out to the public.

You're doing good work Zeit, but please, some order.
My response was triggered by "If you have anything of value". I agree with "if your data is interesting enough". Because let's be honest, barely any company qualifies for nation state embedding a worker with them. If they do, they know. But everybody has something of value.
I notice this quite often - people will be arguing completely logically but from a axiomatic starting point that I (and probably most people) would find abhorrent or misinformed.

They will obscure the axioms they're arguing from so as to not get immediately dismissed, and instead just look rational at a glance and intellectually dishonest when you ask too many questions or read too carefully.

Props to CzechTech for being upfront at least.
While I cant avoid them all, I do send emails to their admins, and execs expressing my inability to use their services. A few have already dropped some google cruft.

Not really. The doctor prescribes the test, but you decide where the test is done. Make sure the lab is listed as a preferred provider by your insurance plan. Good rule of thumb is to stick to major labs: Labcorp and Quest. Be very suspicious about local hospital lab, which usually will be much more expensive.

>You are missing the point; this is a fuel production system that effectively removes the need to capture carbon

No... the first step in the proposed process is to capture the CO2 from the air, what I describe in point 6 of my comment.

>You seem to be arguing that it can't be done because 'numbers'

No... It can be done. But it should not be done. Because 'numbers' tell you there are other things that should be done instead. Right now.

>those numbers lack citations... you should be asking yourself is how badly wrong your numbers are...

I work in this field. I have literally hundreds of possible citations. Pick a number you most disagree with, and I will provide you a citation. Alternatively, provide me a counter-citation and I will review and comment on it for you.

> The mere possibility that this could be economical right now or in the very near term...

Here is what I am trying to tell you: this cannot be economical until all the other, much more economical options which I have listed are pretty much fully used up. Considering that we have barely made a dent in the first of these, this will certainly not be economical in the near term, or in the medium term (and in my opinion, never, because biosequestration is so much cheaper).

Nice project! Thanks for working on it!

It would be great if there were more search filters. Especially size ("larger than") and date ("within x-y", "last 1 day/week/month/year").

And when you have filters anyway, filtering by EXIF data (geoposition, and typical photography details like camera model / aperture / focal length) would be pretty cool.
Seriously dude?

Who, exactly, doesn't understand that the US university system requires a certain number of grad students to have the research output it produces, and a great way to close that gap would be to improve secondary education in the US?

Also, I have a bit of ill will toward US universities that turns down US students in favor of Chinese students. I'm looking at you, UCSD.
