Given that four out of our team of about 10 are developers that is a bit of a hard question to answer. Let me try anyway: we do not actually develop software (other than our own tooling) but we do look at other people's software, as well as many other aspects of IT operations, development processes and so on.

So software development experience is a definite plus, but it is not required that you do software development during the normal course of our work, at best it would result in some actionable advice in one of the sections of the report.

I hope that answers your question satisfactorily, if not feel free to follow up either here on in email.

Sure but in, e.g., Christianity, redemption isn’t a result of doing good that cancels your bad. Redemption comes from atonement.
Political action is the only thing thing that can address climate change.

Since none of us are elected politicians, mass protest (general strike) is our only way of putting pressure on government + industry.
> Cost of living is cheaper, so you'll just accept less money and let the company keep it?

Let's rather put it this way: the company saves money; if they give some amount of the savings back to the employee (via salary), both sides should be satisfied.
Tbh getting more than 30 degrees in these countries is a 10days/year thing. We just suck it up, ac is expensive and consume huge amount of energy. Most big building have passive climate control that gets the temp 5-7 degrees less than outside and it's more than enough.

Historically inflation is approximately 3% on average, also, re-financing your mortgage could be very advantageous for you, the lowest rates you can find right now hover around 1.7%.
That sounds bad indeed.

Here it is a bit better. Most positions I know of are de facto permanent. On paper they are not, as most labs go through 5-year funding cycles. So there's a tiny chance of loosing funding. It's quite rare for big labs.

Besides, places like MRC have created permanent research assistant positions. Which are actually permanent and put zero pressure on publications.

As you say, connecting with interested and talented programmers is another problem. I feel that Nature Jobs postings, which were already a big leap forward for rusty uni administrators, are not good enough.

It probably smells like fingers, now.
2 things financially to think of:

1) Burn rate - $4k is pretty high (I assume bay area). You could be living anywhere in the world for that 6 months on that burn rate.

2) Opportunity cost. If you make $250k/yr, you're spending $125k of potential income. Thats what you'll be thinking of at the end of the 6 months as you start to get a job. This is 100% okay, and life should lived - however, if you happen to be used to a certain lifestyle, and expect that lifestyle in the future, that opportunity cost may bite you when you consider how much more it would have made for you in 10 years.

IMO, if you think there's a real risk you actually sit around in your underwear for the 6 months, then make some change at your job, see a therapist, and examine your motivations both for work and those side-projects. If you don't want to work because you can't stand not being able to work on those projects, then quit and do so. If you're just looking for a change or some way to find your motivation, then make a change, see if its better, and if you're still not motivated take a motivation break and do things that are totally outside your comfort zone.
Any reasoning behind central AC not being allowed? Just energy efficiency?
Yes and no. Anything over 200 feet requires FAA review and approval, including of lighting. Up to 499 feet the rules are simple and well understood. Between 500 and 699 feet the rules and review are more difficult, and there are a number of sites that are unable to go to those heights because of airport and other constraints, but there are a number of projects in active development targeting 600 to 650 feet right now, and I expect more in the future. 700 feet and above is still a relative unknown, but possible.

The effect is that for now most people have been targeting 500 feet, but a greater percentage of future development is likely to exceed 500 feet. Realistically this won't wait for 10 MW units, but will yield significant benefits (overall) at 4 to 5 MW.
yeah, otherwise you might see commit messages like "wtf is this shit" :)

I'd argue most of those are necessary for good content (if we don't view content separately from presentation)

> Putting important text inside of images
I'm sure the reason for this is that it's hard to parse text from images, and while Google could use their AI to figure it out, they don't bother. But it also prevents blind people from being able to read the text, so it does worsen the experience.
> Duplicate content
This makes the site harder to navigate for users as well.
> Page performace issues
Quite obviously makes the experience worse.
> Broken mobile support.

You don't have direct access to past observations. Most were never recorded. At best you have highly filtered and biased summaries.

Please title this correctly. I got so excited to go through a dataset about dragons and the dungeons they reside in.
Vice[0] visited a (can't recall if it was Shenzhen or not and can't re-watch the video now) campus in May and took footage of the campus. It's a little strange, but descriptions of it make it sound stranger than normal I think. It definitely doesn't help that the trip was meant to show foreign press that Huawei wasn't copying foreign companies or spying on foreign nations.

> This is the offshoring holy grail. Let’s be honest here please, exactly the same structures and cultures that allow effective remote work also enables continued and increased offshoring.

The (microeconomic) problem with offshoring is that other countries (think of India, to use a stereotype) have a quite different level of education, work morale, sense of quality etc. That is why it worked so badly. On the other hand, inside a common cultural area, this should be much less of an issue.

Reading Jeff's book is a great intro. Then you can read some intro books like one of C. Koch's - very accessible. Brain theory is actually pretty readable until you get down to the biochemistry of a neuron, which is wildly complex. But, they still don't know how it all works, so it is fairly incomplete to read about (unlike much of physics, chemistry, or even many areas of biology)

> Just look at how some companies interview and select people. They do so on the basis of cleverness, not carefulness and attention to detail.

That's a direct reflection of how we develop software. New and shiny trumps reliable and boring any day of the week. That, coupled with an industry that does not even recognize the concepts of liability and defective product is a surefire recipe for a very large disaster at some point in the future. And after that it will get a lot easier to get budget for security, testing and all those other things that companies see as unnecessary cost.
I'd say Tesla bears tend to think that the focus to go into battery production is mainly motivated by the ongoing deterioration of their relationship with Panasonic.

You definitely need less people once you realize that most of Earth's population lives in developing or underdeveloped countries. Which means that as they progress consumption will skyrocket. India alone has more citizens than Europe and US combined.
Paradox exec: Steam’s 30% fee is “outrageous”
That does not surprise me in the least. Some of the stuff I came across doing DD would make your hair stand on end, after 130 companies I'm more surprised by the ones that do it right than the ones that have no clue.
You can go out and drive 500km (310 miles) right now, today, in an electric car that has been on the market for years.

If you want to do it without charging, you'll need to be careful with the use of climate control and speed.

If you're happy to charge once (20-30mins) then it's utterly trivial.

The restriction is not range - the restriction is cost. The electric cars that aren't just silly toys are still quite expensive.

More silly experimental physics hacks:

* Bridgeport mill: https://youtu.be/FmmNRaKpBTI?t=1852
Even if software were perfect, this makes sense as a defense-oriented decision. It's harder to hack a physical switch. Air gaps can be bridged.

There are also plenty of reasons to automate things. It allows for for faster reactions to problems and interesting new ways to reroute power. Both approaches have pros and cons, and there are good reasons for backing either approach.

Russia attacked Ukraine in a new way, and we responded by trying to become more well-defended against that new attack. Much as I agree that coding interviews are problematic, I fail to see how your point follows.
>> "Holding the phone wrong" referred to people using something as they'd expect, but it not working at all.

OP's implies that reading people's rants would be fun:

My distaste is that the responses would just be punching down.

I've never seen (and struggle to imagine) the value in hearing stories about incompetence. Most people have little trouble recognizing it
I worked at a company that uses Slack as its main casual communication medium.

One day, I walked into a meeting to learn that I was being fired without warning, and would have absolutely no opportunity from that moment forward to log in to any of my business-related accounts.

That sudden unexpected contextual change really puts the lack of privacy control into perspective.

Suddenly, all the conversations that I had had with other coworkers were taken away from me, and made available to whoever was in charge of handling my old logins. Is that really acceptable?

I always make a point to remember the communication medium that I am using, and to filter myself respectively, but how many events like this exist that I have no control of? How can I predict the events that will put my privacy in jeopardy? What text exists that I would have liked to be more private?
This is true, though most of the newer Great Plains wind developments are in the mid-40 percent range and up right now.
Unfortunately same UID is not sufficient, if my program is running some other script or respnsing to input provided by an external user or attacker. JavaScript is the easiest example of this.
How much sleep does the fox need vs. a human?
This is somewhat true (though the analogy is not), in that it is an event which correlates in frequency with the measure of interest, but where individual occurrences cannot be unambiguously tied to it.
Well but that's the thing - we can out walk a vast majority of animals on this planet. Early human hunters were successful partially because they could chase their prey for days if needed until it collapsed from exhaustion. We might have not have the same speed as some of the animals, but human endurance is unparalleled in the animal world.
Ask HN: Has anyone ever been hired from “Who wants to be hired?” threads?
Just a simple question, I have seen stories of people who were hired based on the job postings threads. Never once have I heard of anyone getting anything other than recruiter spam from the Ask HN: Who wants to be Hired threads. I think it might be useful to hear stories either way.

Were you hired after someone contacted you?

Did you receive responses that weren't recruiter-spam from your posts there?
Typical SCADA system from the eighties will have an open port listening to UDP traffic, if you're really lucky without any kind of checksum where each bit in a packet will toggle a relay and reply with the state of all its input channels in an ACK packet. Given the state of these systems it is amazing that they are not compromised spectacularly every other day. Or maybe they are but it does not make the news. Plenty of this stuff is running on BASIC stamps and such (no kidding) used to network systems that are even older.
Efficiency does not trump security for such installations.
Parent was talking about the necessity of networked digital control systems to manage intermittent renewable sources.

My point was that a grid comprised of a higher percentage of nuclear wouldn't need as advanced networked feedback, as sources wouldn't be turning on and off suddenly.

Indeed there would be local digital monitoring and control with nuclear, but that's a much less risky threat vector.
Umm... the cars can barely go 370 miles. While that is better than a lot of old cars, the old cars had a 5 minute “charge” time which beats the pants off of tesla’s charge time.

Fight Club Rules versus Internationalization Club Rules (2009)
Humans have the pretty nearly the best long-distance speed of any land animal, lots of things can out sprint us (which is bad for us if they are preying on us), but very few can evade sustained stalking by humans (which is bad for them if we're preying on them.)
As a person with two electrical engineering degrees and 15 years' experience as a professional programmer, I am nearly speechless at such a rational, foresighted, and prudent action coming from our government, in regards technology. It's like some bizarro-world where we have leaders who use the power of government to encourage industry to be careful and secure. I will wake up soon, and realize this was all a dream.
- It does everything the function keys do (volume, brightness) but more. It lets you turn the volume/brightness key into a slider, or you can flick it left and right to quickly adjust.

- Replaces otherwise mostly unused row of F-keys. Let's be honest, most people never used these (at best 1-2 of the F keys).

- You can add your own buttons for quick actions

- Context sensitive touch controls based on app. Few apps support it but it's only a plus here.

- Escape key has a bigger hit box now. Granted it no longer has "physical feedback", but as someone who codes day and night on it I can assure you that you will get used to it if you simply keep an open mind.

People just hate on it as they always do with new things they are not used to. Change always comes with resistance.
Simple question then:

Right now, does Tesla sell batteries to other car companies?
> the rest of my comment explains why

The rest of the comment makes some claims about performance, but does not show why we should believe those claims.
Yes. The modern sensors and controls being built in to US electric transmission and distribution systems have resulted in a far better run grid: more stable, more reliable, more efficient, fairer, and enabling things like real-time market making which enables rapid improvement using new technologies such as grid storage batteries, etc.

It does come with some vulnerabilities. I'm not sure what the best way forward on those is; I suspect this bill's effects, if any, will not result in a more resilient or less vulnerable grid system. Attackers will just find different leverage points to attack.

a cqrs based service I deal with in prod can probably best described as write anything other last two json records > /dev/null. It’s stupid and brain dead way of dealing with data, and is not worth anything other creating deadweight of unqeuriable and unmanageable json blob history.

It sounds like author is unfamiliarity with properly and automatically dealing with schema evolution tools. cqrs is not a way out of that.
Ask HN: Do you feel tired/exhausted after long deep hours of coding?
How do you cope after long deep hours(usually 3-5 hours) of coding which requires to solve any problem. I get exhausted and I can not able work after this deep cycle. My attention span get reduce.

After one session I can not work on anything else which requires too much focus (work, side projects). What can I do?

The TGV Duplex was developed in the 90s, and continues to be developed, the new version (avelia horizon) coming out in a couple of years. There's a reason it uses a locomotive ("powercar") concept, it relates to it being a double-decker (which all the other trains you mentioned aren't.

I believe the Acela replacement (avelia liberty) uses powercars as well.
Sourcegraph CEO here. One data point: we’ve always been remote-friendly at Sourcegraph, and we’ve become remote-first. The vast majority of our recent hires on engineering and sales have been remote, and we even had 2 SF teammates decide to move away (and become remote Sourcegraphers).

I personally understand the value of remote work for productivity and happiness. I have a dog who I love to walk in the middle of the day, and I know that for certain types of work, being at home can get me in the zone better than being in any office.
I agree in principle. But I disagree that you cannot test GNFS on small numbers. You can do this, but you are right that you might have trouble to easily verify that it has a better asymtotic complexity than other algorithms.
In large enough orgs, internal clients can end up being just as bad as external clients, or even worse since they have a direct line to your PM, can track your feature board, etc. yet there is basically no sense of camaraderie or shared goals.

I'd say generally IME they are still preferable, but occasionally can be more painful.
So they will return North America to the Indians?

And antebellum mansions to the descendants of the slaves who built them?

Perhaps it is merely a _claim_ of consistency just convoluted enough that those who are advantaged by the ideology can jump on board.
The use of "triggered" to dismiss issues people have is frankly, very silly. It's origin is in sufferers of PTSD who, when triggered, face very real and serious mental harm. Yes, we absolutely should try to be considerate to people who are triggered by certain things if we possibly can.

Now, assuming that you are just using the term as a trite implication that people bothered by these terms are just easily upset, I would question that. The transatlantic slave trade was a tragedy and its effects still haunt a huge number of people to this day.

Would you be OK with using holocaust analogies in your code? I would hope you would say no, and I imagine most people would agree. So we have established that there are references that are not suitable to make, and it is a question of degrees.

Changing these things is some work, yes, but it makes working with those systems nicer for a large number of people, for whom those analogies are a negative thing.

I'm definitely not advocating that every other term in computer science is defensible either. If you have an issue with certain ones, I would suggest bringing them up.

No one is suggesting that it should be illegal or anything, just some projects make those changes to improve the quality of those projects. And yes, how nice it is for people to work with a thing is absolutely a part of its quality.
