I absolutely agree - that's the whole point of the article and my comment. If you're in an experimental space, and 9/10 of your ideas are never going to make it to market, I'd rather spend 1 units of time on each to figure out which one's going to work, and then 20 units of time redesigning it the right way (i.e. 21 units of time to be done), rather than 10 units of time on each to make them all ready for production (i.e. 100 units of time to be done). But those ratios will vary depending on how sure you are about what needs to be done next, so yes - you've gotta weigh the cost / benefit.

You didn't mention the cost.

I searched "France nuclear waste." The first response was a BBC article https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-26425674 saying

"France generates around three quarters of its electricity from nuclear power but despite decades of activity it is no nearer a solution to the perils of nuclear waste. Many countries agree the hazardous material - some of it at temperatures of 90C - has to be disposed of deep below ground where it can be isolated from all living things for tens of thousands of years whilst the radiation slowly reduces."

Tens of thousands of years is long.

Unless I'm missing something, we have no idea the problems that may arise in a period longer than since Egyptian pyramids.

I'm comparing nuclear pollution not to coal, but to had similar resources been put into reducing consumption.

I feel as if my nation has been the dumbest if not the most left behind country in the world, Pakistan.

The nation is riddled with annual energy crisis and just falling behind in world economic growth. Not only is the energy crisis with black outs an occurrence but electricity itself is expensive. Far more expensive what the end consumer ends up paying compared to nations here in the West or China.

et the nation's politicians continue to popularize the use of solar which is stupidly expensive for scale of energy we need and far less reliant on local resources.

It does indeed saddens me.

> Did he actually 'take over' the TV or just overpower the OTA broadcast? If the latter then the 'Smart' part is irrelevant (and so is the drone for that matter). A yagi with 50 watt UHF amplifier would likely do just as well from the ground.

He overpowered the OTA broadcast, the drone is unneccessary and it can be done with an amp and a directional antenna. How do I know it? It says so right in the article.
As a first approximation, there are no C++ developers available. You're probably right that there are more of them than there are Rust devs, but filling a team with either one is going to be a very hard problem.
It's my understanding that the R, TM and C symbols are not required to enforce trademarks / copyrights. So, if you register a trademark and forget to put TM or R next to it, it's not like your content is suddenly fair game. Same goes for C, they look at your history of public use, not the instances of a copyright symbol.

However, those symbols signal to others that a trademark / copyright exists and helps to discourage others from copying it.

While there is some objective, measurable aspect to 'easier to read' it is mostly dominated by what someone is used to.

The only C style syntax that's used is block grouping (curly braces), and statement separation (semicolon). Unless you go for using whitespace to perform those functions, you're making fairly arbitrary choices about which symbol to use, and those two are familiar.

Most other syntax is really quite different:

* variable definition has a completely different order to it with (optional) type ascription

* function definition has some aspects of C++ (<> for types in generic functions) but much else is different - e.g. position of return type, where clauses, the 'fn' keyword, type ascription
Management is a very high leverage activity, hiring good managers externally is really hard (harder than hiring developers), and my experience as a manager (and manager of managers) is most developers don't want to do it (your post is an example of that!). So, if a developer is really enthusiastic about wanting to take on a management role and is being turned down, I think there are three reasonable conclusions: (1) there is no management position available; (2) this person is a very senior developer (staff or higher); or (3) there's not much confidence this person's skill set would transfer into managing a team successfully. (1) doesn't seem to be the case here, and while I can't rule out (2) there's also nothing in the OP's post that suggests he or she is in such a high-level engineering position.

They have something like a 5-minute per-24h free preview of the entire book. It confused me too, the first time I came back to a tab I’d left open for a book I wanted to check out. Ultimately I wasn’t able to get a good idea of the book quality, so I never purchased a book from them, but maybe it works for some people.
TLDR: simple overview of one (of many) overlaps between coding and contract drafting concepts, illustrated by the similarities between defined terms (contracts) and variables (code). First part of an on-going series looking at the similarities & differences between code and contracts and how lawyers and computer scientists might mesh prose to code whilst maintaining legally valid and enforceable contracts.

Note: aimed at both coders and lawyers, so naturally high level in each domain to make it accessible :)
I don't think I'd describe Rust's syntax as C-like. What gives you that impression? The only resemblance I see is curly braces. Rust doesn't even have a C-style for loop.

If anything, Rust's syntax can be confusing because the order of names and types are reversed compared to C. This is a trend that a lot of recent languages are returning to because it can simplify the parser.

Also backtick lifetime parameters, but that's a feature that no other mainstream language has, so it was bound to be a little confusing regardless of the syntax.
Medicine, psychology, and neuroscience all have different definitions of this stuff.

understanding the meaning of language

Understanding is vague in these terms. You can notice someone calling your name while distracted with other activities. That’s an automatic process and assigning meaning for each word in English is a difficult task. How do you teach a computer what cells are in the abstract?

There is also some high level language decoding where people extract meaning from poetry etc. But, we need to get the low level task done first.

PS: As to ranking, their are a lot of high level tasks you can’t do at the same time. Often described as things that take concentration, but few language tasks make this list.

I wonder if the bullshit taught at top tier business schools starting in the 1980s isn't as responsible or perhaps even more responsible for the destruction of American industry than outsourcing, bad trade policy, and other more familiar villains.

This looks nice. I'm not a framework guy (more on that in a second) but they at least seem to be heading in the direction of letting me get work done without forcing me to do it their way.

That said; first it was Backbone which wasn't terrible but kinda clunky in my opinion. But then Angular came along and everybody rushed over to that pasture. But then React came along and everybody rushed over to that pasture. Now Vue is appearing to be greener than the others. Is Svelte where everyone will go next?

My point is this: if all these frameworks were so great, why do we keep running to the latest new one? I actually heard a contractor say the other day, "five years ago everybody wanted Ember developers and now everybody wants React developers. I even have those old Ember clients coming back asking for developers to rewrite the Ember projects in React."

Maybe it really is turtles all the way down...

EU countries have consumer protection laws that cover manufacturing defects for a reasonable period of use.

Those laws need to be clarified to also cover security updates.

Which syntax do you prefer? Lisp or python or php styles? That is pretty much your answer: It's subjective.

Off the top of my head, I'd imagine that familiarity for the huge pool of C/C++/Java/C# programmers was probably a huge push for the chosen syntax.
Libor was always a joke.

If you’re looking for a loan, why would you care what the average rate is between a number of providers? You’re going to take the lowest rate, right?

And then why would you throw out the lowest and highest values? One of those is the most competitive rates!

It also didn’t say anything about depth of market. A bank may have loaned you $1 at a low rate, but maybe not any more than that.

And then it was all self-reported, not based on market.
EKS Engineer here, thanks for the feedback.

Service IP configurability is a very common ask, and as you’ve linked, is on our roadmap along with a slew of other control plane configuration options.

You can delete the AWS VPC CNI DaemonSet and install any CNI plugin you’d like.

EKS regularly backs up etcd and has automatic restore in the case of a failure. Manually restoring to an old snapshot would be quite disruptive. What is your use case, and what would be the interface you’d like to see?
I actually dropped my Nest thermostat for an Ecobee. With the temp sensors it’s been vastly superior.

My house has two floors but a single Hvac zone. The ecobee is set to consider temp from both upstairs and downstairs during the day but only cares about upstairs at night. It also circulates the air in the house every hour for a bit.

The end result has been far and away better than before in terms of efficiency and comfort.
The post is lacking any interesting technical information. It is a bland fantasy about how a poorly implemented scoreboard could be exploited.

Then why doesn't Apple, who have some of the most valuable trademarks in existence, include a single (R) or TM in their (for example) iPhone marketing [1]?

1) Hey HN peeps - I'm disappointed in the number of people that are either not addressing the actual question, or are simply offering speculation. I'm not angry, just disappointed.

2) On the USTPO.gov site I found the following:

> What is the difference between TM and the R within the circle ®?

> Use of the TM and SM symbols may be governed by local, state, or foreign laws and the laws of a pertinent jurisdiction to identify the marks that a party claims rights to. The federal registration symbol, the R enclosed within a circle, may be used once the mark is actually registered in the USPTO. Even though an application is pending, the registration symbol may not be used before the mark has actually become registered.

> The federal registration symbol should only be used on goods or services that are the subject of the federal trademark registration.

> PLEASE NOTE: Several foreign countries use the letter R enclosed within a circle to indicate that a mark is registered in that country. Use of the symbol by the holder of a foreign registration may be proper.

And also:

> Do federal regulations govern the use of the designations "TM" or "SM" or the ® symbol?

> If you claim rights to use a mark, you may use the "TM" (trademark) or "SM" (service mark) designation to alert the public to your claim of a "common-law" mark. No registration is necessary to use a "TM" or "SM" symbol and you may continue to use these symbols even if the USPTO refuses to register your mark. Those symbols put people on notice that you claim rights in the mark, although common law doesn't give you all the rights and benefits of federal registration.

> You may only use the federal registration symbol "®" after the USPTO actually registers a mark, not while an application is pending. And it may only be used on or in connection with the goods/services listed in the federal trademark registration and while the registration is still alive (you may not continue to use it if you don't maintain the registration or it expires). Although there are no specific requirements on where the symbol should be placed relative to the mark, most businesses use the symbol in the upper right corner of the mark. Note: Because several foreign countries use "®" to indicate that a mark is registered in that country, use of the symbol by the holder of a foreign registration may be proper.

So, in the U.S., it appears there is no federal NEED to use these marks, aside from being able to say that any infringer can't claim ignorance of your claim, BUT that still leaves any state, county, local, or other nation usages unanswered.
Can someone just summarize the thread? No desire to scroll through to figure out what the hubbub is about. Grammar is a mess, which makes it even harder to make heads or tails of it.
Call me dull, but why don't you just build an android app and buy a Fire Tablet to power your project.

A Fire Tablet is probably on par for power and is fully integrated with a touch screen and battery, and with discounts it costs almost or cheaper than a bare Pi.

I feel like we bend over backwards to try to use the Raspberry Pi to do cool things, but a lot of these projects can be developed more easily and powered by a more consistent framework using a Fire Tablet.

Anyone else thinks that Whiteboard interview is just covered ageism?
It's the second time in a few months I'm being turned down with the pretext of a failed whiteboard interview. Things like improper syntax and not getting the damned recursive solution fast enough.
Given that I am 42 yrs old and been at this line of work for 14 yrs now I think it's safe to assume that I neither have the time nor the appetite to constantly exercise on solving mind puzzles in whiteboard. I am good at what I do -and I do it at a top level company- but it has nothing to do with coding on a whiteboard. I'm sure that anyone who is a few years _out_ of the university and _into_ a real job finds it both hard and surreal to go through these hoops to land a job. Whiteboarding simply tests for skills that are not needed nor exercised once you're out of uni.

Thinking all that it then dawned on me. Maybe this abomination is just a way to take out older candidates and favor young ones. A form of ageism that is legally safe for the company.

Dunno - what's your thoughts?

By whiteboarding here I mean testing the form of questions one can find in places like hackerank and the like. Obviously, drawing a large system design or using a whiteboard as an aid to describe/analyze other aspects of a system is not the topic I'm touching on here.

PS 1: I'm done with that sh1tshow myself. I sincerely hope I'm never that desperate to put myself through that again.

PS 2: For what is worth here's a repo with all companies that do not use whiteboarding: https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards

I find pluralsight pretty infuriating - the speed the presenters talk is really slow and they keep repeating the same thing, it typically goes:

- hi, i am going to talk about something
- in the next section we will talk about that thing
- in this section we are now going to talk about that thing
- talk about that thing
- we just talked about that thing
- in the last section we talked about that thing
- earlier, we talked about a thing

It might have got better in the year or so I last used it, I gave up because of this.
The point was that these things need to be handled unusually in the case of a poker server in particular. If that's true, then a general purpose library that's handling them invisibly is probably handling them wrong for this use case.
