I find it really weird that people use "working class" to mean "white, rural, and blue-collar." While those people assuredly are working-class, so are waitresses in The Bronx and janitors in San Francisco, who are mostly Democrats.

And by the way, immigrants, at least the ones you hear about in the media, are largely working-class. When people just ignore certain groups of people when talking about "the working class," it's pretty clear that they're not really just talking about economic status.
Yes, that's exactly it.
It expresses more as repulsion to someone perceived to be in a lower social/economic status than you and an attraction so someone who seems to be in a better status than you.
It's most likely not majorly conscious.
I’ve just got one; EqualExperts. They’re a bit like thought works in the UK. I went to them when I needed work and was told I didn’t have enough years experience in the industry.

The issue with this was that someone I used to work with, who was a little older, had significantly less. He’d moved from being a junior developer, and not a particularly good one, to being paid a decent amount more with a fast track interview experience.

I wasn’t as strong of a developer as I am now and I’m happy to admit that, but I asked them if they were willing to give me the technical test anyway and use that to judge. Nope. I was too inexperienced because I didn’t have 8 or more years as a developer.

EqualExperts, you can permanently fuck off from now on.

Slow builds can definitely break concentration. I'm on a dual core as well, although most new business laptops come with 4 cores.

My build times aren't as long, because I'm working with Java-based microservices, so each service takes a minute or so to build (with tests) but even that delay can break concentration. Turning off tests helps, but then you don't always have the immediate feedback of the test results (and don't worry, I always run the tests before committing).
Interesting idea. You're attacking a genuine problem, and kudos for doing so.

It's just a really bad parking lot design.

Regardless, Smart Summon doesn't currently care about things like directionality in a parking lot. This version doesn't try to do anything fancy like reading markings on the pavement.

The app will show you on a satellite map the route that the car is planning to go, assuming this release follows what was shown in the early access releases.

As the person supervising its behavior, it's currently solely your responsibility to make sure that the car doesn't cause problems for other people. The car will do its best to avoid hitting anyone or anything while still making it to your location, but you're still the one in charge.

Smart summon currently works via a dead man's switch. You have to hold down a button the entire time, and if you let go of the button for any reason, the car immediately stops.

The long-term goal is that supervision won't always be necessary, of course, but this feature is available now -- with supervision. If you see an opportunity to use it, it's there. It will get better. I've personally watched Autopilot grow up from something barely usable as a driver assistance technology to something that works extremely well for every day usage.

Why is this response being flagged? I shared a solution that works. Maybe the OP should decide whether this works or not?

This is a difficult thing to overcome. I am sure, given your comments, that you have tried high and low and have come to the same conclusion. I was in the same boat, being highly addicted to porn and not desiring or enjoying sex with my wife. When we did have sex, my mind was elsewhere having sex with these women in my imagination and yes it was slowly killing my wife. She struggled with feelings of being unattractive. You think you are hiding it but it is a dark life that manifests itself in other ways. My addiction lasted 16 years and grew worse with time.
I tried to quit as much as I could but would always fall. Maybe I went a few days or a week at best.

Until I discovered Jesus Christ and gave myself fully to Him. I became born again and truly relinquished control to Him.

Hear me please, there is NO other way to overcome this as it is a spiritual battle that has been well thought out and efficiently deployed in these end times for the masses.

Take heed, just being born again didn't do it. I had to fully, 100%, give up myself and He showed up big time and broke those chains. That is the ONLY way that works. Now, I have no desire to watch porn nor do I look at girls lustfully and in fact, TV shows with nudity offend my spirit (hopefully you'll come to know what this means).

I realize this won't be popular here but having tried all other ways and failing, I invite you to try Him out (if you haven't already). Know that He loves you so much and is waiting for you to invite him into your heart.

Cry out to the Lord and invite Him into your heart. Cry out to Him and acknowledge that you, on your own means, are unable to overcome this spiritual onslaught and ask Him for grace to overcome. He will show up because He promised He would and is no man that He should lie. I am praying for you.
I can't wait for the FTC to issue a statement, it will be something like:

At a previous company, we too would administer a technical test. Our pass rate was close to what was described in the article (40% for ours vs 25%). However, our test was incredibly simple. At most, it should have take a competent developer two hours to complete [including writing comments and a README].

The assignment was to read a file containing a list of numbers (some formatted incorrectly, so there was some very simple parsing logic involved), call an API using each correctly formatted number as a parameter, and store what the API returned to a file. I am to this day stunned that 60% of people who passed a phone screen could not solve this task. Note that we gave them the input file, so it wasn't a matter of an edge case tripping them up or them getting one input file but the test input file having some other edge case.

My point here is that it may be possible to get the same screening value with much less investment from the candidate.
> I don't see the emergence of divisiveness as a good thing. When people vote because they long to belong to a group, not because it is sensible policy, it will undermine the long term prosperity of said democracy.

Well, it probably isn't when compared to an utopia. But if everyone is united in that we should walk into some abyss, maybe you'll want some divisiveness, no? Churchill was a divisive figure in the appeasement years, yet would it have been better if he had been silenced?

> Don't more people worry about this?

It's been a major topic for years.

> Why do I get the feeling that too many people stick to the notion that democracy is automatically good, without considering possible reforms to address its current weaknesses?

The Democratic Peace Theory[1], if true, is a damn good reason to see democracies as the best option, despite its weaknesses. The authors' point is that they believe China's current system will lead them to bloody battles instead of peaceful integration. It's not absurd to prefer the ugly divisiveness of current western democracies to war.

> If we want China to accept democracy we can't just keep labeling them as 'evil' and call it a day, we should actually come up with a better sell.

Is there any reason to think we can convince the CCP any way or the other?

> If Discord is "good enough" for social media, then Matrix is trying to be an open source, decentralized Discord. It's also (in my personal experience) unbelievably crappy

it was sort of a loving complaint. I brought up Matrix in the first place because to me it is one of the few attempts to solve the personal social media problem with decentralized open source software. So I really want to see it succeed, and my quick rant about how the state of it now was in that light. Kind of like complaining about your favorite sports team. You forget sometimes what a range of people are on HN, and so I hope you / others who work on Matrix aren't too disheartened by complaints.

I've been following the cross-signing bug for a while now. I had hoped to see it implemented earlier, but it's good that it's being worked on. I wonder if an encrypted copy of the keys could be stored in the browser's local storage, so that logging out doesn't reset the client. It would also be great to have all my devices store encrypted backups of each other's keys, so that unless all my devices get signed out everything just works without requiring a backup or re-verifying devices. I think Signal works like that, and I thought Matrix was supposed to do this partially, but it didn't work last time I was signed out. From the user's point of view, you want one identity / set of keys / backup for all your devices, even if that's not what's happening at a lower level.

> the i18n bug

Since you already have the pre-translation English text, wouldn't it make sense to fall back to showing that instead of "translation failed" on every line of text? Plus, my locale is en_US so especially in my case failing to fetch the i18n files shouldn't result in such an ugly bug.

> Search should work, but delegates straight through to postgres's FTS engine.

If I'm understanding you, this means the search is always done server-side. Doesn't this mean that search will never work on encrypted chats, since the Matrix server doesn't have the text of my chats to search? If that's expected, some user-facing way of making this obvious would help.

Thanks again for the detailed reply.

In C++ one could use strong types (template phantom types with anonymous tags) to distinguish between source and destination.

I use this technic to disambiguate all kind of types (source/destination gpu/cpu pointers for instance) and correctly dispatch everything at compile time.

Seems like SAT scores skew in the direction of people who are capable of "giving a shit" about a test. If you don't "give a shit" about tests, then you'll likely be at most a C student and a ~1150 (just an example number) on the SAT regardless of your level of intelligence.

No, it falls on the bank or what have you. If the bank or what have you gets defrauded they lose the money.

As an unfortunate side effect the fraud might affect a consumers credit, but not due to any kind of responsibility for the fraud.

One of my kids managed to somehow bypass the restrictions I'd put in place on their device and signed up to a subscription that was a free three day trial, after which it would cost $79 per year.

Luckily I also get emailed whenever there's activity on the account.

Kid can't remember doing it, doesn't know how they did it, was upset at themselves.

Device is locked down even harder now - as a result of looking up all the myriad settings to stop scams getting through and credit card details removed from the account.

It should be hard to subscribe and easy to lock down. Not the opposite. The default should be "no spend". And this is from our heroes of privacy: Apple.

DoorDash is the worst. They inexplicably banned me from their platform after giving me a credit for a bad order. I filed several support tickets over several months and kept getting canned responses about how they were "looking into the issue." Eventually I just switched to Uber Eats.
This is the part the is really missing.

I use user.site@mydomain.com whenever I sign up at random sites. Last night I got a bunch of spams at the just-eat [1] account (food delivery, operating in 13 countries so not a small operation).

1. They haven't reported it anywhere.

2. I don't know of any meaningful action I can take.

How much of that is just you and your crowd getting older and your social circle getting smaller?

Make some younger and cuter FB friends that have growing social circles because they're in uni and you'll see some impressive numbers on the scoreboard again.

I think this explains a lot more of HNer commentary on FB than people like to admit. "In my personal experience, only old people use FB. My feed is full of parents posting about their children, ugh. FB didn't use to be like this when I was in uni 12 years ago!"
> The power your advisors wield over you is terrifying in graduate school. You are severely underpaid AND they have you over a barrel.

I realize this isn't the case for everyone, and I realize my situation was odd, but... there's always a trump card: you can drop out. I get that for international students it's not always so simple (losing your student visa, having to go home) and can be a very hard choice.

My supervisor and my department occasionally tried to push for things that I believed were ridiculous, and the threat of dropping out seemed to work reasonably well to push back on that. My understanding is that a supervisor having a low completion rate is a black mark that can hurt them, especially if they're chasing tenure. I didn't pull this out like a petulant child stomping their feet when they didn't like their chores, but rather when things were getting stupid.

Tony: "This is totally unreasonable and the timeline doesn't work for me."

Supervisor: "This is how it must be. There's no other option."

Tony: "I could drop out and continue on with my life."

Supervisor: "Now wait a minute, let's see what we can do to make this work..."
Because of the "idioms" page which lifted the code samples from rosetta? ;)
There was a post here not long ago, by jerf iirc, called something like 'tiny types in go.' At the time I disagreed with the premise, but I think it would be a cleaner solution here. By aliasing two string types with obvious names, it forces you to convert at calltime. Assuming you name source and dest as types(ie type source string), you end up with a command like copy(source(sourcefile), dest(destfile)). It's cleaner and has less abstraction than what's in the article.

"it's just how it is" this is devilry, relative-truth. Not absolute.
Ugh that reminds me of my least favorite interview of all time. Some years ago I did a take home project that I spent several hours on, felt pretty good about the code and how I’d addressed the challenge.

A few days later I was called back for a phone interview with the CTO who wanted to do a screenshare leetcode type thing. He had no idea I’d even done the take home task, and wanted me to solve a stupid graph traversal problem requiring the same algorithm I’d used in the take home project.

* All Audi models

* BMW 5/6/7/X3/X4

* ... and so on.

Source: https://www.cars.com/articles/which-cars-have-self-driving-f...

This notion, particularly among Tesla owners, that active lane centering and steering is a Tesla exclusive, is at times wilfully blindered, to the obnoxious.

The last time I went through this was with a Tesla owner who swore that every other car's Blind Spot monitoring sucked, because "only Tesla paid attention to the speed of the car in the blind spot", which is... false. Even my 2015 A4 had adaptive blind spot monitoring.

Most to all mid to high end vehicles have all this stuff. Tesla isn't miraculous in automotive technology. Which isn't to say they haven't done great things. But even reading this list... ugh. Was the ability to watch Netflix or sing "Car-aoke" the most demanded of new features for Tesla owners?
>Except that it can take months or years for the affected individual to clear up their credit record

In what scenario could this take years? Honestly anything beyond a month sounds pretty unlikely unless your identity was abused for an extended period (as in by a family member or such), and even then I don't see how.

As far as I understand the process for getting fraudulent accounts removed from credit reports typically takes less than a week.
