Internet Explorer was integrated into Windows in ways that Calculator or Mine Sweeper weren't — those were merely bundled with the OS.

Python, Perl are the calc.exe of this story — not integrated into the OS, just bundled with it. There's a long history between OSX and Ruby, with MacRuby and RubyCocoa being some efforts to actually integrate Ruby more tightly into the ecosystem, but those efforts have long been abandoned.
Except that:

(a) you don't choose how long you get because the uC manufacturer already chose. (An external brownout warning is different, and useful, but still not a good solution to the problem of FS integrity.)

(b) those thresholds have nothing to do with the operating thresholds of the flash (which usually require a lot more energy to do work than the uC)

(c) writing to flash is a relatively high-power operation, and if you need to erase, you're doing the highest-power operation at a time when you have no power buffer

(d) warmup time to do an erase is measured in milliseconds, and you probably don't have that much power buffer

The best you can do at brownout is minimize the damage, because your uC is about to switch off and/or silently inject errors.
Kiss your battery life goodbye then, because HE requires a massive amount of CPU power. So much that it's outright prohibitive for use on a cell phone for at least the next 5-6 years, minimum (Moore's Law)

I really wish Kubernetes would make it's storage backend pluggable or the k3s folks would push their work to allow a SQL database as the backed upstream. Then you could just back Kubernetes with some Cloud SQL offering.

I took Amtrak regularly along the East Coast. Door-to-door was both faster and cheaper than flying, plus the experience was a lot more pleasant.

Less travelled routes have a chicken-and-egg problem: nobody uses them, so they’re not a priority, so they get even worse. NYC to Montreal, for example, should be 2x as fast as it currently is....
> A for-profit corporation will not fix that

This seems incorrect, given that there are multiple E2E apps on the market today. Unless you're implying that Signal has also given encryption keys to China.

Regardless of why RCS isn't encrypted, it's not encrypted. I can vote in a government that supports encryption. But if I do that after RCS is standarized, the standard still won't be encrypted.

If what you're arguing here is true, this seems like a good reason not to implement RCS until after we get the government sorted out, or to abandon RCS and try to build a standard without government inputs.

I mean, what's the timeline for getting China to support encryption? 5 years? 10? Should I be throwing my support behind unencrypted messaging standards in the meantime?
> The Italian socialist party split on the question of supporting the war (nationalism) or not. Mussolini was on the nationalist side. When he was kicked out of the party, Trotsky said that the Italian socialists had lost their only true socialist.

That's what I was saying.

> Mussolini was called the "Lenin of Italy"

By whom? I'm actually interested, not trying to retort.

> Mussolini continued to espress admiration for the Soviet Union in the 20s, and called Stalin a "fellow fascist".

Not to be too blunt, but Mussolini can say whatever he wants. This doesn't detract from the fact that it's hard to believe that Lenin praised Mussolini when he came to power in Italy.
Join the beginners channel in Clojurians slack, there are many patient people there volunteering to help with things like this.

There are many market participants that push against decentralization at all cost (e.g. one of the reasons Google shut down Google Reader is that RSS does not fit in their business model). Decentralization is always bad news for those who like to control things, own present centralized infrastructure or use gate keeping as a measure to make money.

So just because decentralization is constantly under attack doesn't mean it's bad or even that it "doesn't work" as the author claims. If it works or not can be determined by cryptologists and mathematicians on a case by case basis and not by some "assistant professor of Media Studies" who has actually zero authority in this field.

Of course the protocols that are required to make decentralization possible need to be centralized. But that is a stupid argument. The laws of physics are the same everywhere in the universe. That doesn't mean the universe is centralized.
Really helpful, as long as they're done well and respect the candidate as much as possible.

In my experience, they provide a great way of understanding a candidate's skills. It also lets them work in a low-pressure environment with their own tools, which tends to let people achieve their best.

I actually recently launched a service to help make managing take home tests through git more efficient: https://candidatecode.com

It's still early stage, so any feedback is appreciated
Use a git bare repository, it works really well for this purpose.

In France they're (cleverly enough) called "appart'hôtel". You can stay there for one week up to several months (or years I guess if you keep paying?) and you can use it as a hotel or an apartment depending on the level of service you want. You can cook yourself or eat outside, you can order the number of times a week the room is to be cleaned, etc.

Why does Dropbox just keep jumping the shark? Every fricken turn breaks something for me. This breaks the entire way I have my systems set up.

They were amazing software and now they’ve eroded away most of it such that they have very little over their competitors.

At this point the only reason I stay is they sync macOS extended file tags and comments; both things I make heavy use of. To my knowledge Syncthing doesn’t, nor Google Drive for that matter.

Wow. This would have totally changed my job of being a Unix sysadmin in the 90's.

Funny how such a basic capability doesn't appear as a batteries included thing until 40+ years after Unix appears. Lots of futzing around with uptime, ps, top, iostat, vmstat, ntop, sar, lsof, free, etc. All of that replaced with a simpler tool to get the high level answer.

That first level filter is the key to narrow in your troubleshooting. Bravo. I bet Adrian Cockroft (Sun, Netflix, now AMZN) approves.
That might work except for people who use iOS, for which Syncthing doesn’t have a client yet if I’m not mistaken.

Who they hired are good enough for the jobs.

Not everyone in FAANG are in charge of shaping the industry.

In fact, even with such hiring process, I would say FAANG problem is still having too many of such talented people but not enough internal growth so that they can't retain them.
You know _why_ they cancelled HTML 5.3, right? A different group had (what the world at least concluded was) better ideas for HTML5, took the spec, declared it "living" rather than versioned, and declared itself the authority on HTML. For a while that meant we had _two_ HTML 5 specs, at odds with each other, and eventually W3C had no choice but to acknowledge their coup had succeeded (for better or for worse) because the world ended up siding with WhatWG instead of W3C.

The bitrate is a huge deal. High costs on the backend are a legitimate concern, but ultimately we've got a finite number of base stations and some areas simply will not get base stations, ever. SMS is probably the only protocol that can extend any amount of coverage into these remote areas where message delivery can be a matter of life or death.

And some of these areas aren't even that remote, just unintentionally RF shielded.
Fraud is probably a harder problem than discoverability. You can always exchange (maybe through an automated pairing) IPv6 addresses if nothing else. Supporting chargebacks, eliminating spam, blocking phishing, etc. if both harder and more important to a functioning culture.
This is one of those statements that is too broad to be true. We can't wave a wand and just say developers at FAANG companies are better than the bottom 1/3 and no more.

You do have a point here which I do agree with which most of those companies would refer to as "culture fit". Agree with it or not, having an employee that gels with the team is a critical aspect to hire for. You could have 10 Jeff Deans and get nothing done if they refuse to work together.

A significant problem I see here is that we are trying to define "good" on a linear scale which makes no sense to me. Is candidate A better than candidate B based on 6 hours of interviews about the same topics or a single take home test. Even Madden breaks down a person into dozens of traits and uses that to compare people. Tech companies like to flaunt how data driven they are but why hasn't that made it into hiring. For the most part, these decisions are still made on personal feelings of the interviewers which...yeah, that's not going to be very consistent and reproducible.
This is really cool. Usually on HN the top post is some "controversial" contrarian opinion and people always fall for it.

Dropbox never before supported symlinks as symlinks. (It would sync the target folder even if the target was in Dropbox, duplicating data).

Now symlinks are understood by the server, but ones targeting content outside Dropbox break.
The Acela line with business & first class is literally the only quality Amtrak line in the country. For that line, and that line only, it can be worthwhile as an alternative to flying or driving among a select few destination spanning from DC to Boston.

I’m sure that line accounts for some wildly disproportionate revenue for Amtrak, but in most other places people prefer to pay cheaper fares and don’t care about the surrounding quality properties enough to pay more for them.
It depends which is faster. The video shown is not really the real world use case.

The Acela is fantastic and I pretty much only use it for traveling to New York if I can expense it.
It's odd that crows were chosen for this study. It's well established that crows are talented vocal mimics, and in captivity to use those vocalizations to interact with their captors. It's analogous to looking for this behavior in parrots, if less obvious.

In regards to biology's approach to animal intelligence and psychology, I'm currently reading (and would recommend) "Are We Smart Enough To Know How Smart Animals Are?", which goes into this topic in detail.
Because travelling is increasingly becoming synonymous to being up to something?

This is what drives me mad. This is such a violation of every principle of good hospitality. By delegating responsibility for one's safety away from oneself to the responsibility of the purveyors (or overseers) of the mode of transportation, we all end up being treated as threats until proven otherwise.

It is such a tenuous balance. Excessive restriction of the conditions under which hospitality is granted leads to a breakdown of social reciprocity, intensification of in-group mentality, and alienation of the outsider. This stratifies and jeopardizes the ability of these myriad in-groups to coexist and transact peaceably, detracting from the possibility of maintaining any semblance of a national/international unity, or at least peaceful polity.

It's diplomacy, in essence, at smaller and more localized scales. Most societies have carveouts for providing for the need of the outsider, because tit-for-tat is such an easy state of affairs to end up in. Mind, the tit-for-tat part is implicit, not explicit, as most text on hospitality emphasizes the duty of the host to care without concern for [individual] reciprocity. Collectively speaking however, the way one culture recieves another does have an impact on overall relations between polities.

I just wish there was greater emphasis placed on this. I get it, lofty ideals tend to be the first to get binned, but sometimes the ideal is worth tolerating a greater degree of perceived immediate risk in order to facilitate a much larger payoff in terms of unity of action across non-emphasized in-groups.

Sometimes it's the difference between all travelers looking at and being suspicious of each other in transit, perpetuating macro-level conflict into every strata of everyday life, and a group of strangers coming together, and momentarily sharing the unique opportunity of traveling together, and being able to freely exchange in an environment of goodwill and camaraderie, and to be assured of unity of action through dissolution of fear at having to react to defuse violence on behalf of the traveling group.

Dissolution of macro-scale tension must begin at the bottom Of the social pyramid. Trying to work from the top down is a fool's errand.
well, until the technology is trusted "enough", there should be audit logs - pretty much destroying privacy.

Again, with the current technology and literacy level, I'd not trust a school to be able to afford to employ proper security policies. It's already hard for businesses that actually spend substantial effort and resources.
Yeah the discord group chat model is definitely better for talking actively with people, but for any kind of lasting content I find it pretty difficult to figure out.
Exposure to pesticides in the womb linked to changes in brain activity in teens
I've had the fuzz try "the dog" on me in the past. As a living creature the dog is rarely where they need it to be. Knowing my rights, and also knowing I'm not holding, I just repeat over and over again, "am I being detained. Am I free to go?" That usually clues them in I know the law just enough to cause them problems and they go away.

Typically the only probable cause they have is their own racist bias and once I point that out, a hit dog will holler.
This "effect" exists locally in California. Identical products are cheaper in the Central Valley than they are in San Francisco, which makes perfect sense considering that the "product" (if it is a hamburger) includes the convenience of being immediately available in a high-rent high-wage area.

Similarly, Hass avocados from California retail for less in Baltimore than they do in Oakland.

+1 Thanks for the informative historical comparison. I appreciate it. Interesting. I do have a bit of trouble drawing parallels though.

I mean, the US is not requiring, say, that goods imported to US ports be exclusively carried by US ships, as the English did. The US is not taking possession of any of the many Chinese owned port facilities which currently operate in a large number of US cities. The US is not demanding that only US merchant ships be allowed to carry cargo across certain regions of the world's oceans. And, China has not, for instance, sailed up the Potomac and stolen any US vessels.

Most of this is playing out in terms of taxes and tariffs. It is almost totally bureaucratic and regulatory in nature.

Meh. I don't buy it. I agree with the parent that it's usually people not getting hired being mad about it.

- "interviewing is broken" is a meaningless linkbait title. All you can really say is it's less efficient than it could be.

- In fact, interviewing in tech might be the best of any industry. Look how good we are at hiring minorities, people without college degrees, people who don't wear suits, people with verbal tics, or even tattoos. That wouldn't happen in investment banking.

- If your point IS that hiring could be better, then instead of winging, propose a fast and simpler and cost-effective alternative, and then try to give some hard evidence that the method you propose is better than whatever you're winging about (usually leet code).
So are you not one of those people or are you just teasing us?
NB: Meteoric ferrous metals are almost universally iron or iron-nickel, not steel (iron-carbon). I find few or no hits outside the gaming world for "meteoric steel".

"The places I find ideal to encamp at are the luxury hotels of yesteryear, built around the end of the 19th century for train travelers, shabby and dated, thinly staffed and clinging on mainly through inertia. They are easy to find, just search TripAdvisor reviews with the words “needs urgent renovation!” Another sure sign of a Once-Grand Old Hotel is that the bathroom is larger than the main room. This architectural choice encourages repeated baths, which also help in the battle to stay awake."

Exactly my "strategy"! They usually also have nice underrated views from their balconies.
> The top 5 providers likely account for the overwhelming majority of all email.
I don't think this is true. At least, it wasn't true in 2016 according to this (https://email-verify.my-addr.com/list-of-most-popular-email-...), these figures (https://emailclientmarketshare.com) for email clients in 2019 don't suggest a massive change, and anecdotally it seems unlikely -- a lot of people use addresses from university or work.

Certainly it is more centralised than say the automotive industry. But it seems much more similar to that than operating systems, browsers, social networks etc..
Genes certainly do exist. Your cells are not capable of conceptualizing ideas. They need to know where to begin and end transcription and translation to produce specific protein in response to stimuli. Therefore, genes exist as discrete, physiological things.
It's easy for a person in good health, never arrested, never bankrupt, good credit score, native born US citizen, world class Ph.D. with one of the very best backgrounds for analytics and machine learning, with peer-reviewed publications in applied math, mathematical statistics, and artificial intelligence, having recently written .NET code in 100,000 lines of typing for an ambitious Web site, code that appears to run as intended and be ready for production, and who has shipped very high quality code to high end customers to be 100% completely, utterly, totally, permanently unemployable for anything beyond minimum wage, literally.

That's just the way it is.
That's idiomatic, not an inherent property of the numbers themselves. You're basically arguing that because we do it in one context we do it in another context, but it doesn't answer the question of why.

If you build a custom AOSP from source and add a new system library or modify an existing system library that adds a proprietary algorithm or maybe even a poem/artwork that you wrote yourself and put a proprietary license/copyright on, maybe you could go after fb for illegally pirating/stealing your own copyrighted work? Probably wouldn't work if you do this just to poke fb knowing about this feature, but if you happened to work on custom AOSP roms for personal use before this feature became widely known, then it sounds like you might possibly have a good cause?

Why not list the pros/cons of each method and let the candidates choose their poison. Whichever metric they think they would be best at given their constraints.

Still requires work and a subjective estimation of candidate skill because you have to make a judgment across metrics instead of within one, but I mean, everybody wins in this case, right?

Crostini makes it rather easy to use a surprising amount of Linux software with minimal effort. The biggest gotchas are:

1) the machine's processor which could limit software that only works on x86

2) some of the security restrictions of running in a container. Crostini might not be ideal if you are doing development that requires I/O to external devices (e.g. Android development over adb)
The points you are raising (addiction) seem to be somewhat unrelated to what was being discussed (inappropriate content).

Of course addictions are bad, but do you have any data supporting your claim that technology has increased the number of addicts? People vulnerable to be drawn to short-term dopamine hits have always existed, whether to food, gambling, or actual drugs.
This is a popular sentiment but it’s still false. A hiring committee isn’t going to pass you if you don’t finish the problem (ideally multiple problems) optimally.
