After skimming the article and reading comments here - I can't resist the urge to bad mouth some of my contemporaries. A couple of developers who I worked with, who I know personally to be useless, ended up joining tiny startups. These startups failed as I expected yet these developers translated the short time they were in inflated positions into careers.

Obsession with titles is a real thing. Getting a "VP of Engineering", "Director of Engineering" or "CTO" onto your resume can affect how your career prospects change over time. It is frustrating that failing at being a capable CTO can set you up better than succeeding at being an exceptional Team Lead.
I started working through the exercises and saw a dramatic drop in panic attacks. (https://i.imgur.com/P29BSRC.jpg)

That's an impressive, likely clinically significant effect, congratulations! May I ask what is the x axis in the graph?
This anecdote so closely matches Apple's messaging on the topic, it makes me wonder if you are an Apple employee. However since it involves aftermarket sales, I suppose it's prudent to assume not.

Let's look at it from a different angle. You got to take advantage of an aftermarket in order to find a cheap phone. In this case you got scammed, but for the time being you still have the option of getting a cheap battery replacement to fix your device with minimal losses.

Apple's moves are clearly designed to squash an aftermarket. I'd prefer to have the option to buy cheap old phones. I'd especially prefer to be able to replace the batteries on my own old phones.
Two quick points on the other side:

* Industry is moving towards FP. Teaching Python or Java is teaching students a way of programming that will increasingly be out of date

* In my day to day programming (Scala) I lean very heavily on the concepts in the design recipes. Understand them and you can create correct code very quickly.

No data here. Just something to think about.
"Does this put the BBC at risk of violating anti-peeping-Tom legislation?" Er, you'd have to be more specific. I'm not familiar with that legislation.
The problem wasn't the existence of the call center, but that it has been utterly crappified.

What you've described is how I've always remembered it to be. When did UPS make it easy to interact with a human being?
How would it be a disaster? All they have to do is determine it's a third party battery and all the tech blogs move on.
Interesting how the Shibe Inu’s have Japanese names

This is all New York data so why do you think that is?

Seems more likely that people interested in Japan related things are buying and naming these dogs, less likely that it is Japanese owners, and nobody else is choosing these?

Awesome product and idea, I can definitely see this solution (or similar ones) be a crucial "culture-boost" for companies. And, of course, +1 for open sourcing it.

With that said, any reason you guys decided to GPL it? I actively try to avoid both contributing as well as using GPL-licensed software (e.g. non-permissive libraries). All my stuff, for example, is MIT'd.
A similar system in Germany (where we are constantly amazed at how much better content the BBC produces) is not a tax to minimize government influence. The goal is to make it public, but not government controlled.

Personally I think that it should be organized like a tax nonetheless, because if a public broadcaster is a benefit to society, it's a benefit to those who watch just as much as to those who don't watch, similar to how those who don't enter medical school will still enjoy the availability of doctors. A precedence exists, in Germany the Finanzamt is happily collecting a tax-like thing on behalf of the established churches from their members, without that ever having led anyone to suggest that the churches were controlled by the government. The investure controversy isn't exactly still lingering.
Which do you want, a cradle to grave welfare system or open borders for all comers? You can't have both. Huge numbers of people are, for financial reasons, utterly dependent on welfare - they don't have the privilege of choosing not using it. Someone has to pay for it and for example, in the UK 50% of the population won't be paying for that in terms of income tax at all.
Show HN: Sqlnetnews and Bystand NNTP Software
sqlnetnews is a NNTP server software. bystand is a NNTP client software. You can use them with other software too, and not only with both of them together.

I wrote these programs because the other one they are large software and cannot be used with SQL, and the other NNTP client software does not have a command-line interface, etc.

There is Fossil repositories, such as: http://zzo38computer.org/fossil/bystand.ui/ and also /fossil/sqlnetnews.ui/

Also it is possible to download the ZIP file at /prog/bystand.zip and /prog/sqlnetnews.zip

Currently, this server software does not support authentication, but maybe in future it might. Also not implemented is forwarding messages to other servers (and possibly subscribers by email, if you want to use like a mailing list), but that would be a separate program anyways, but using the same database.

Using sqlnetnews and bystand with a different database is difficult because SQLite does not currently support use of incremental blob I/O with virtual tables.

Also if you have other question, comment, complaint, to please write them too. Including, if some functions do not work on non-Linux systems, to suggest how to correct it so that it does. (Such as, someone told me on Usenet that MSG_MORE does not work with BSD. So, I added a #ifndef block to define MSG_MORE as zero if it is not already defined; hopefully this is correct.)

Also, to see if we can have a more comprehensive comparison of different NNTP server software and NNTP client software.
>Or are you saying you aren’t going to use anything new by them? That is probably the case and I misunderstood.

Basically, yes. I don't even make the effort to log in to use any of their services, except for the Google account on my phone for the purposes of Play Store access. I'm just tired of being Charlie Brown trying to kick Google-Lucy's exciting-new-product-football.

I may be misinformed, but when those Estonian programmers wrote Skype it was at the time both decentrialised and encrypted by default. Is that not the case anymore? A pre-emtive apology if I remember the story incorrectly.
Yeah when you consider the total comp, 400k doesn't sound crazy if there is stock, sign-on bonus, retirement/pension/401k, expected bonus, insurance (health/dental/life/whatever isn't covered by the UK NHS), etc.

I don't think you understand what a legal negotiation is.

AMC offered $8.99 (or more) to studios for each A-List ticket. The studios implicitly accepted this offer by agreeing to show films in AMC theaters. That is actually how many negotiations proceed in the business world

It's very possible that some studios did negotiate carve-outs or increased payouts for A-list tickets, which is something that Disney is notorious for doing with its bigger films. Indeed, since movie distribution deals are negotiated with theaters per film (a requirement of an old 1950s era law), it's very likely that at least one studio (i.e., Disney) has negotiated higher shares for A-list tickets.

I found this[1] article rather interesting, comparing the tVOC and CO2 measured by a consumer device with professional grade equipment. It seems the MOX sensor used in the consumer device (AMS iAQ-CORE-C) did rather well on tVOC, but poorly on CO2 as you mentioned.

Multi-hour delays at European borders were not unusual before, and persist at the external land borders of the Schengen area.

The common currency is valuable for more than just tourism purposes. A business in one country can much more easily trade with businesses in other countries if it doesn't have to deal with currency risk and the resultant necessary hedging, and if the business is selling services to consumers the single currency allows them to compete with businesses across the whole Eurozone on a level playing field. That's just considering currency; the single market is of course a much broader concept.

> ... it [the cited paragraph] attacks the idea of physical data as a valid, supreme source of truth.

No, it does not.

It attacks the idea of using glib, incomplete, or poorly examined "facts" as the basis for a valid argument.

If you want to say that poorly vetted "facts" are a basis for "supreme truth" and, further, that you can only choose that or else some kind of mushy ethical considerations... that's your prerogative, but you're wrong.
>Hacker News moderation is not appealable, not auditable, does not have bright line rules, and there are no due process rights. It simply does not respect individual rights.

Yep. After eight years on the site I finally had a comment removed, and my response to dang to discuss it was completely ignored. Made me feel dumb for even trying.
I don't like python, because most of the languages I have used and learned are influenced by the c language. They use similar syntax with parentheses. I like parentheses, because they define narrow logic scopes that help me focus. Python is also not as flexible as javascript, if I need for a dynamically typed language.

I also don't like go, because go forces to put curved bracket on the same line, whereas I use the Allman style everywhere.

With Allman, I can vertically align a pair of brackets, This helps me to see the scope they define.
I use Exim for the server, and Heirloom-mailx for the client (both running on the same computer). It says don't send email from your own server, and, it is what I do. I use the ISP's SMTP server for sending, but use my own server for receiving. That works OK for me.
Time Travel Without Paradoxes
No, I don’t see the difference. You said that someone committing one felony will escalate to another felony because they can’t think rationally.

The question was whether someone who’s willing to break into a parked car to steal it is willing to break into a house to assault the car owner in order to take their keys to steal the same car. You said yes, or at least you implied “yes” extremely strongly. If you don’t believe the answer is “yes” then I don’t know what the point of your comment was.

PS: The fact that you thought my absurd extrapolation of your statement was making the same point tells me that you do indeed believe a car thief is likely to escalate to far worse crimes “because felony”.
Maybe it has something to do with all the recent speculative side channel attacks. Intel seems to have more hardware vulnerabilities than AMD.
Note that jit.si is only encrypted in the sense that Skype is encrypted, aka transport stream encrypted. The server needs access to the decrypted video stream so that it can do split screen. See this thread for details: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/409

I personally use jitsi because it is FLOSS software and it's less likely to send conversation contents to the NSA or other dragnet surveillance entities. But it's not end to end encrypted.
Impressive, but it would at the minimum need some tweaking for it to work well with screenshots I think.

Reading this gives me a headache. Guess what will WAY be worse than that?

Also most of the developing countries, those people like you like to point their finger at and use as an excuse to keep dooming yourself, your planet and most of all your children's futures, will be hit first and the hardest by climate change. And they know it. China is already coming around.
From the link:

"I interviewed at Airbnb, Facebook, Lyft, Uber, and 3 other companies. I received offers from Facebook, Lyft, Uber, and 2 other companies. First year total compensation ranged from 380k~500k from both public and private companies, 2nd year comp was around 400k for most of them. The offer numbers correlated with my interview performance, and from my research, it seems like some companies offer standardized offers to every candidate. Surprisingly the private companies did not beat out the public companies in equity package.

Breakdown was around 180~210 base, 500~800 equity, and 0~100 sign-on." [emphasis added]
>threat of an active negative PR campaign

I'm sorry, but this doesn't feel like an accurate characterisation. Stamos isn't financing or organising an actual PR campaign, he's just publicly telling the truth.

If the truth happens to be outrageous, that's not his fault.

>And the tweet I linked earlier didn't tell Voxility anything it didn't already know

Dunno, Voxility is huge.

>it simply publicized things and used the author's influence coercively.

If the truth is coercive, perhaps that's not on the author?
> Turning a little more complex elementwise computation into vectorized numpy calls produces a lot of memory overhead. For each vectorized numpy call, which does a basic computation (like adding two operands, or negating, or sinus of, ...), you allocate a whole new array.

I believe this is no longer correct, within a single expression. In the last couple of years things were fixed so that `a = x+y+z`, for instance, will not create an intermediate array.
No, why would you? Attaching a cost to someone unable to visit the gym due to "overcrowding" wouldn't make business sense since you're unable to determine if that is actually the case or if they weren't coming for another reason.

A customer with a gym pays a monthly rate... That rate is paid even if they use it. The running cost of the gym remains the same whether or not someone comes to the gym.

This comparison, then, doesn't make sense. MoviePass is paying directly each time a customer uses the service. While both services are better off with people simply giving their money for something they don't use, only MoviePass actually LOSES money if people are using the service. The gym, on the other hand, doesn't.
Thanks! And I completely hear you and totally agree re: unnecessary animations.

In this case, I used the Masronry.js library for the thumbnail grid, and the unnecessary animation you speak of is mostly the result of that. Basically, it reloads the grid after every thumbnail image is loaded, and the reason I stuck with it was to eliminate the visual lag of having no thumbnail grid at all while all of the images are loading up – but perhaps it should be the other way around?

This can easily be disabled in the template via the initGrid.js file. Perhaps I should document that option more thoroughly. :)

Thanks again for your feedback!

Edit: I've since updated the site to load the grid up after all images are loaded, eliminating the dancing animation.
> It compares a job seeker to the most successful employees based on cognitive ability as well as personality, which corrects for the messiness of in-person interviews.

Granting they are any accurate, these tests are still aiming at a mono-culture inside a company.

At best it feels fragilizing in the long run, at worse candidates are thrown away just because they don’t fit a pattern that might not even be optimal.

My takeaway would be that hiring is hard by nature, relying on tools that try to do magic is never going to go well.

I'm also disappointed, I liked using HCL for GitHub actions.

Did they get negative feedback from beta users?

Or is it related to the recent release of HCL2?

There are vast numbers of cross-border workers and internal (to the EU) migrants. I don't have numbers, but I really think that statement is misleading.
Yes, it does, median is the value defined as 50% of the set

The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median, your numbers have to be listed in numerical order from smallest to largest, so you may have to rewrite your list before you can find the median.

> Theoretically they could properly detect a crappy replacement too by doing some basic math to determine approximate capacity

sigh

If such "basic math" exists, can someone please point me to it? Estimating capacity on a fully known, completely characterized cell is the bane of my existence.

Basic math that can help estimate approximate capacity of an unknown replacement battery- that's a billion dollar startup worthy technology right there.

There is nothing more frustrating than unkillable processes stuck io iowait(D) state. There's no reason for this behavior to exist. And its so easy to hang forever - network blink, your NFS client gets stuck and your programs too.
I have had a similar experience, so it is not very uncommon for used phones.

My phone's battery actually started expanding and nearly pushed the screen off of the back. Apple wouldn't touch it, though, so I just took it to another 3rd party battery replacer.

If there was a way to have known that the battery was replaced by a shit one before I had bought the phone, I would've had a much easier time
But the thing is, almost all of the work is already done by volunteers! Reviewers and even most editors for journals are academics giving their time for free. Basically the one thing journals due these days is typeset. As weird as it may sound for those in math and physics, most of the scientific world doesn't use TeX/LaTeX. Instead, they submit a manuscript in Microsoft Word that needs to be typeset.
Outline or archive.is are other ways to read these articles.
Google's phones track you in several ways that aren't through a browser. Want to see every place you've ever visited since you got your Android phone? Google has it and you can see it in your dashboard.

Google keeps location tracking a secret from you until you view your data, then once you go look at it, they start sending you monthly summaries of your travels.

Any don't get me started on the facial recognition in Photos. Take a photo of someone else's kids, and it will show you a helpful popup asking if you want to send the photo to the kid's parent.

I very much enjoy the right to opt out of paying for the BBC, whose programming I no longer have any interest in watching. I'm extremely glad that it's not paid for by a compulsory tax.
So it's not OS. Got it.
Because the audience here understands how to work around paywalls.

There's even a "web" link at the top of every article to help you, as having google as a referrer is one of many workarounds. Others include, incognito windows, multiple browsers or clearing your cookies, google cache, outline.com, archive.is, etc.

If there's an article that's been posted here, and it's being upvoted, you can be sure that people are reading it.

If you've tried everything you can think of, but still can't get to the content, just ask. Someone will likely assist you.
So, it's a very interesting situation. On one hand, I agree with you: when I start a new project, I am the master of it, I take care of everything and I need to make sure deployment and testing are implemented as early as possible. But this needs to scale. When we hired more people, I quickly realized no one wanted to deal with CI. They wanted it to just work and I wanted people to work on features and bugs, not fighting CI. So you can call me a devops guy by accident (turns out, that's a huge chunk of what I do as a CTO - remove obstacles by implementing and managing devops).

I think my ideal devops situation is the one where you start with a simple deployment script from your local machine when it's a one man show and then scale it to a large organization not by switching to a large piece of devops software, but by gradually adding pieces that you need as your team grows and requirements change. Exactly what happened to us and I think our devops workflow is really great and I'm very proud of it.
