HR department asked me to fill this sheet. Any inputs?
I'm a lead engineer at a software company. HR department asked me to fill this sheet to document general requirements for designations. I'm having a lot of mixed feelings with this so I'm going post to it here.

I agree. But that said, it's good to give people estimate of what the costs for a moon mission are compared to other things we do on earth. In that sense, this comparison is useful, because "half the cost of avengers movie" is less abstract than "$ XYZ,000,000" for most people.
Great that he found out what was making his experience on HN bad and was able to change that and contribute to others that feel the same.

I personally enjoy browsing HN's comments section to read opinions conflicting to my own's, and evaluate their arguments. It's a habit acquired to preventing falling for confirmation bias. I rarely post something in response.
Temperature usually fluctuates between 45-50 in peak summer days. That is the time when you cannot do much outside, but people do work. Most people have air coolers or air-conditioners at home and work.

Nights are relatively cooler, but heat waves can continue till late night as well.
I wonder where its all coming from. Just bio-accumulation? But yeah sounds like a nice way to remove some mercury from your local ecosystem. Then sell it as "snake silver" to esoterically leaning folks.
Beware b2b with large corporates, especially those that have already professed leadership and concern on climate change. Google, Disney, Microsoft, Apple, UPS, and... Interface. They will wear you out. Maybe they'll have a soft spot for your YCombinator gloss, but don't count on it. Most companies you would pursue are already partnered up w/Natural Capital Partners, NativeEnergy, Carbonfund, etc. It's very rare for them to switch. That gold rush happened long ago. There are of course exceptions and other pockets of opportunity. Don't think you're different, special, better... that "it's different this time" or that hey offsetting is a neat space where buyers can granularly allocate their buys across many different providers. Theoretically true, doesn't happen. Save your energy for companies with newly-announced neutrality commitments. Even then, in our experience, those dialogues move slowly (2+ years), usually involve RFI's and RFP's, and then you're up against 20+ incumbents who have been doing this for over a decade.
Nim for sure. It's faster and can generate shared libraries.
https://legendsoflocalization.com/ is a blog all about this kind of thing.
Other than the last one you've linked it doesn't appear that any of these are actually true or were proven. It seems more evident as time goes on that these sensational troll stories come out yet there's no recourse against Tesla. It's hard to tell but I would guess one of two things are happening: 1) Tesla is paying these people to go away 2) these allegations are targeting Tesla either for financial gain (shorters) or competitive (dealers/manufacturers).

While I've yet to actually see the latter I'm not so sure what to think, quite honestly. However it seems odd of the timing of this - right before earnings. I'll be curious to see how CNBC drums this up today.

The plastic celluloid slightly predates the beginning of crude oil extraction. Plastics can be made starting with non-petroleum chemicals, such as cellulose.

See also Henry Ford's plastic car made from soybeans, wheat, and corn, and designed to run on hemp fuel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soybean_car However, making cars from foodstuffs may be inconsistent with feeding 10 billion people.
There are so many things Microsoft was ahead of the times. For example, they had what are now 'Electron apps' in the 1990's (hta files). And how I wheep when I look back at the power of COM, how I complained about it back when I didn't understand it, and what could have if we'd had proper object technology today.
> How long do we have to wait before people give up on fossil fuels?

Probably not that long. Oil extraction is such a resource-intense process that some alternative, be it nuclear or otherwise, will become more economically viable.
I suspect this is how most people read articles on most forums where articles are commonly posted (e.g. Reddit).

Are you serious? I can throw a rock at any newly minted tech IPO in the last year and almost guarantee that it's not even remotely close to being in the black without even hearing the name.
What do you mean by 'source location'? Why does this matter? I'm intrigued (and also suffering from conjunctivitis so excuse me if I'm being a bit dense and totally missed your point).
India's great failure in the 20th century has been its inability to nurture urban centers outside a handful of major metros. So everyone floods into Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi because there are no jobs anywhere else. Capital cities in other states have nowhere near the quality of jobs on offer in these 3-4 major metros.

If breaking up a procedure results in the creation of a bunch of smaller procedures that are only called once then I think I'd prefer to leave it as it was with well demarcated and commented sub-sections.

It saves you the job of inventing descriptive procedure names as well as jumping between procedures.

I seem to recall also that in Code Complete, Steve McConnell
claimed that there was an inverse relation between the length of a procedure and the number of errors per line of code.
Lots of footage with clear faces, shouldn’t be very difficult to put names next to those.

Does anyone know of any co-ordinated efforts to do so?

This is ridiculous. You're purposely conflating need/demand for addiction to try to spin something a certain way. I need food, water, air, etc. and yet would not call myself an addict. Would you?

I don't think any one is claiming oil is a viable solution long-term, so why are you bothering?
From a climate point of view certainly but we need to stop dumping plastics in the ocean desperately, we are fucking up the largest biosphere on the planet.
Regarding point 1: I should say that I'm not an expert in Quantum Computing, but reading the referenced paper leaves me unconvinced that such an algorithm exists in general. In the paper they show that they can simulate phi^4 efficiently and with arbitrary small discretisation error. My point regarding the graph isomorphism in this case is as follows: In order to carry out the discretisation, they employ a d-dimensional lattice and additionally introduce a discrete number of Q-bits per lattice site. Then they require to be able to evolve the state according to some time dependent hamiltonian (with interactions adiabatically switched on and off). All proposed realistic quantum computers only allow for a limited operator set of primitive operations, dictated by the physical geometry of the implementation (1d lattice of atoms in a trap etc.). My point was that more likely than not you will always be able to come up with theories for which a mapping respecting these physical constraints is hard (you won't easily be able to simulate a 3d lattice with multiple q-bits per lattice site on a 2-d lattice of q-bits). Also the article has to restrict itself to the case of massive particles and as you know lattice simulation of fermions is also a problem.

Point 2 & 3: You are right of course, ultimately this is a question of what techniques are useful. My comment was mostly aimed at the situation where people start to discuss the philosophy of QM. There I find that QFT clarifies the situation more than any philosophical elaboration on "measurement" and things like that do.

> Yeah, because most visitors to most websites can and know how to disable images in browser settings.

Maybe they would, if the UX culture of these days wasn't removing every feature that isn't used on every interaction, and then devs wouldn't try to build increasingly complex reimplementations of browser features on each page.

In an ideal world, lazy loading of images would be something handled purely by the browsers, and users would be aware how to operate it. The site's job is to declare what it wants to show; the User Agent's job is to decide what to show, when and how. But nah, the web culture prefers to turn browsers into TVs.
Ah yes we would do this in the Ardennes with a compass and some instructions! Few hours of hiking and drinks and snacks by the campfire at the end. Good times!
"TDD [...] assumes you know what shape your functions and classes and data structures will take before you start coding". Absolutely not. In a green field project you might start TDD with an 'architecture' consisting of only one function. Since one single function is a very bad architecture for anything except something extremely simple at some point refactoring would take that function into multiple functions, or make a class of it or do yet something else. The main difference with the CASE approach is that TDD does not presume that we can know an adequate architecture beforehand but instead can figure that out while we are going. I.e., decide things when we actually have the information to do it. TDD actually is the only method of software development that I know of that respects the complexities involved in software development.

One might write test afterwards but as I note above tests do cost time so one should aim for the maximum payback of that time. When you start with the test it starts paying back as soon as possible starting from the point where it flags your first attempt making the test pass as not quite working.

One case where it may be better to start with some trial and error is when it is not clear what algorithm should be used.
And thats that
I think my question is not if you thought you would get caught, but if you think it would be fair trade even in the case you got caught.
> PS. If you happen to be a developer of a static analysis tool: Consider leaving long functions alone, rather then reporting them as suspicious. There are circumstances where long functions are perfectly legal and desirable.

Sure, _there are_ circumstances. They're just extremely rare and their occurrence is dependent on the team as well. So generally, I'd say function length a pretty good proxy for complexity--as long as there are overrides.

Seems basically to be a checklist.

However, I don't think it's a good idea. Checklists are not bad, but they are to be executed by humans.

I think trying to automate an existing human process directly is a mistake. Human processes often have features that only humans can do, such as pattern recognition or adapting to small difference. It's often easier to create a computerized (automated) process from scratch than to try to account for all the edge cases that humans might have to deal with (and do without problems).

(The opposite is also true, processes that computers have no issues with can make trouble for humans. For example, humans have imperfect memory. So if the process asks humans to keep track something for extended periods, it can be difficult.)

You suggest that what defines the current regime is a reaction to the West. I think this is completly missing the point. Islamism has been on the rise in every single muslim country since the 60s, and the current regime is before anything an islamist regime.

I am not sure what the fact that Iran is a thousand year civilisation has anything to do with it. China is a thousand year civilisation too, it didn't become less communist nevertheless.

Iran is already part of an agreement (called the NPT) to not have any nukes ever, and has already violated it. It has no justification to ask for any concession from any other country for it to honour its original signature, much less from countries they have sworn to annihilate. It sounds like they want others to disarm their intended victim for them.

Key takeaway is this:

>The point I am trying to make in this article is that sometimes it's the problem domain itself that's complex and convoluted. In short, it's a spaghetti domain.

I definitely have encountered spaghetti domains and have bashed my head against them, trying to find nice, clean and elegant abstractions that describe the problem succinctly and clearly.

Sometimes there's just more exceptions than rules, and spaghetti code is not a bad outcome. As with all guidelines, do not follow blindly where a less "conventional" solution makes sense?

It's not all BIOS updates either, in my experience. Only those that affect parts of the firmware inside the CPU since the BIOS itself is way to late in the process. (ie Microcode updates, IME/AGESA/PM updates, etc.)

Personal experience confirms this somewhat, as boot after BIOS update can take 15 seconds or 1 second, depending on the update.
> Is it really different from yours?

Of course it is.

In your example you are explicitly breaking factorial. In my example I'm just defining `pred`, and it's unexpectedly and implicitly breaking factorial.

Behavior of the factorial depends on explicit argument, behavior of the factorial method depends on implicit recursive call.

It's the same as having a global variable and a locally passed argument.

let x = ref 0;
let f () = x + 1;
x := 42;
let = f ();

is not different from

let f x = x + 1;
let y = f 42;

in a trivial example, but in a complex example with a complex state, the implicitness of the former would cause bugs.

Same with open recursion, your code simply mocks a trivial example. In a complex example where methods rely on state and locks, implicit redefinition of a mutually recursive methods causes bugs hard to debug and comprehend, since you can't say what exact virtual method is called (you shouldn't even know that, that's the point of OOP).
I am very curious, but worried, of the situation in HK.

Concretely, it seems HKers can protest as much as they want, but when push comes to shove, the PRC will just end up crushing them and the parts of democracy they still have.

I can't imagine how they may get any other outcome.
Even if I wish they could just gain independence, it seems unlikely, and it's not like any foreign power would go to war to protect HK.
While that might be true, I still find it hard to source equipments and material from companies in India who often want "big orders" which an individual might not be able to afford.

I've been trying to source Silica Gel 1kg (orange colour changing beads in India) tried IndiaMart but either suppliers don't respond or respond with big order requirement or ask for too much information about your operation.

Back in time I was in US, and companies shipped small quantities or samples sometimes for free and same experience I had with Chinese sellers.

So lemme ask, why Indian manufacturers are so hard to deal with?
VPN PreAuth RCE on Palo Alto GlobalProtect, with Uber as Case Study
"its better to look at code" might be valid for tiny projects, but good luck making sense of million lines of code in thousands of files.... i'd rather have a document with proper chapters / sections. it will always be easier to read. The problem is not with documentation ,but with the fact people are too lazy / distracted to update it along side their code. (i.e for every code you write, have the documentation open and verify it's still matching... / alter it where needed)

documentation can also highlight easier program flow and other things which might not be clear from 1 code file or module. You could add such information in comments, but then you would need to be find that certain file with specific comments instead of just looking and ctrl+Fing in a document...

i feel many people are against documentation just because they don't like to write it for whatever reason (maybe they just don't know how to concisely describe their own code...)

if you look at companies who manage and own large code bases like HP and IBM, they have BIG documentation, and it's there for a good reason.... it's crucial to have.

not having documentation is like programming something without any technical / functional design. it will become a mess sooner or later.

I get where you're coming from, but I'm not sure this was malicious. First, you could have driven around, which is probably what people did. More importantly, this happened all over with the interstate system; old railroad towns had their last gasp and newer highway towns replaced them. Finally, interstate is federal, so blame them if any one.
Addiction isn’t just whatever you say it is, it’s a word that has a defined meaning. Addiction is the pathological pursuit of a relief. Now even if you think our consumption of energy is pathological (and if you want to assert that, you’ll have to prove that our consumption of energy is generated by a mental disease), then the addiction would be to energy, not energy generated by a specific means.

This level of absurd hyperbole really doesn’t help anybody except climate deniers, who can quite rightly say ‘climate activists rely on absurd hyperbole’, or worse.

>No matter how you draw those lines in your selection criteria, you're going to get it wrong for a not-insignificant group of that selection, so why bother?

Because group dynamics are not about getting it right for any member of a group -- in fact you can get predictions wrong for all members of the group and still be right in their overall behavior.

You can "get it wrong for a not-insignificant group of that selection" and still be right for the overall group behavior.

Likewise, you can get lifestyle/beliefs/etc wrong for "a not-insignificant group" of people in the bible belt, but you can still make accurate statements with predictive power for the area as a whole...
