Is the issue of anxiety and depression among Gen Z being brought to the center stage internally at FB? I’d feel a whole lot better about the company if I knew that an actual effort was being made to right some wrongs in it’s wake of addiction profiteering. The optimist in me sees this feature as a step in a more humane direction.
Tiles are awful.

If they keep the same place, now you have to manage not only the content but also the order. If they shift around according to some metric like 'most used' then you have to visually search for the correct tile.

And this is assuming that the collection is small. Otherwise paging or some other kind of grouping has to be used which is horrible.

Tiles aren't even that easy to use. They always require visually processing and then coordinating the action. With typing it's just muscle memory.

They also require some kind of image which adds another dimension the problem. Now those tiles have to look good, or be colored according to some kind of logic. This styling can also impact usability, e.g. getting the icon/logo of the site can look ugly.

Tiles make sense in a touch context environment like mobile or tablets where typing can be cumbersome. But in a desktop environment it would be a lot worse.

I'm not voting.

I find what is described as typical socialization observed by someone who knows nothing of these people as something to be concerned about to be fairly absurd.
I mean, they can't really 'invest it' since it was their money in the first place. They are loaning it to the credit card holder, who is giving it to the merchant. In this case they just don't loan it out until the case is resolved.

I know it's hard to shed the received narrative that FB = evil, and even if it was easy you probably wouldn't want to because it feels good and right to reinforce that belief.

However, I think I was pretty clear.

"It was solely to see if we could make people feel less self conscious by decreasing social comparison." - the main goal

"Our hope was to decrease the pressure normal people feel about sharing their lives with their friends and family." - if we achieve the main goal, this ~might~ happen.

"We thought this might improve some long-term metrics" - on the off chance this happens, we ~might~ benefit in the long run.

Is this really different from "I suspect that the recent trend of social media platforms hiding engagement metrics has less to do with fighting 'envy' than simply allowing for more authentic looking proliferation of promoted content" ?

I think so. Seems like a pretty indirect way of driving user engagement.
I quit my full-time job at 28 to embark on a rigorous self-education plan, precisely because I felt the same way as you. Sure, you will lose out on optimizing your salary if you jump off the career path train. But is that really a good strategy for living an interesting life? Even then, you may find that broadening your educational base leads to deeper and more lucrative opportunities in the future.

If you make something a priority, it’s possible.

> No one else will adopt Tesla's standard.

Why won't they? They don't have to pay any licensing fees and would save $$ on R&D.

> CCS charging providers allow Teslas to charge on their networks today.

Because Tesla have chosen to adapt it or at least provide Tesla owners an adaptor for CCS/ChadeMo. Why can't others do the same for the SuperCharger network? Give me a good reason why.

> When will Tesla reciprocate and convert to CCS?

Let me just phone a Tesla VP and ask. /s Are you seriously asking this?
If this comment gets downvoted, it's probably because its kind of off-topic and a little hard to follow. Maybe write a blog post with some of the emails, I guess, instead of a long comment, and then submit that?
Ah. Thank you.

I'm going to have to read that one.

Edit: OK, it was short.[0] But I also came across an article by historian Matthew A. Sears,[1] which points out ...

> There is a much darker side to Pericles’ legacy, however. For one, he narrowed the group eligible for Athenian citizenship, requiring both parents to be Athenian citizens — a requirement, ironically, that his own children did not meet.

> And, as is increasingly the view among ancient historians, he bore perhaps more responsibility than anyone else for the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War, a ruinous 27-year conflict between Athens and Sparta that ended in Athens’ defeat and the temporary overthrow of the world’s first democracy.

> A frequent criticism of Pericles among his contemporaries was that he took a hard line against Sparta and pushed his city toward war not due to any higher principle or strategic goal, but to deflect charges brought against his closest friends and political allies.

The two scenarios AP is great for us stop and go traffic and long road trips with sparse traffic. It takes the edge off the stress and monotony of those situations. Where it is not good is around town and fast moving but congested traffic - in my experience you have to babysit it a lot in those scenarios.

So how many non-Android smart phones have there been past Nokia N9?

- Jolla/Sailfish is still alive, but not doing particularly well (I'm typing on one.)

Run for your life. I've used probably 10 VPS services at various points, including some small enough that they're probably run by one person reselling from a dedicated server provider. Some of them have great customer service. Some of the don't.

But I've never, not even once, had someone try to pull a billing scam on me. I will never consider Hetzner for anything again.
Swift has a different niche than Rust. They both offer safety, but Rust prioritizes performance, where Swift prioritized ergonomics.

For me personally, Swift is often fast enough for my needs as a compiled language, but it's so much easier to be productive in since it obviates many of the more tedious concerns of Rust.

Both languages play nicely with the C FFI so it's also possible to write high-level code in Swift and drop down into C or Rust for the performance sensitive parts.
> Write some unit tests, a human description of what it does and based on the source code and description of existing software the system would basically “debug the program into existence” for you.

Sounds more or less like the mechanism by which developer jobs succumb to automation. Hopefully those of us that are working class have seized the capital by then.

Thanks for the insight. I found this article discussing New Criterion which I found interesting.

Regarding the article, from what I know about Lenin, it’s spot on, and if you ever talk to anyone who survived his dekulakization [1] you’ll understand the violent nature of Leninism.

But I’m not a fan of a propaganda outfit that likes to hide behind the occasional high intellect piece, so thanks again for the comment.

I don't see why you'd say that about just women, something like that is probably going on for both sexes.

I laughed at "I think my time is best spent elsewhere on ... mindless entertainment".

Not saying you need it, but the world can be a pretty lonely place if you don't have anyone to share it with. Maybe there is someone who you can enjoy the same mindless entertainment with. :-)

You do you though. You're the only one who can.
I was going to comment something very similar before I saw this.

Speaking from the candidate's perspective, as someone with performance anxiety, I abhor live coding sessions. Best case, I'm thinking at an impaired level due to the anxiety. Worst case, I can't think at all and freeze up completely.

Therefore, I absolutely love it when companies offer a take home project. And you're right: I'm probably not going to do it unless I'm really interested in the company.

I'm actually going to be doing one this weekend, and I don't mind spending 4-6 hours on it, because at this point in the interview process, I'm really excited about potentially working for this company.

How would you make sure that any derived works (resulting from the use of this dataset) are properly licensed? It is very likely that this dataset (as per 1909.09436.pdf: "2 million functions, obtained from mechanically scraping and preprocessing associated function documentation") is contaminated by code with dubious licenses, right? And any derived work as a result would also be contaminated, right? What's the plan to deal with this issue?

Theranos was a good one, too. There was pretty much nothing there, for years, but people so wanted to believe the story. At a time when high tech was seen as producing an endless stream of silly apps that solved problems for hipsters, and mired in very real sexism problems, here comes this young, attractive woman who claimed to be using technology to solve some serious medical problem. Narrative Jackpot! Like the X-files poster, everyone in the press and industry Wanted To Believe! Money poured in, fame, adoration, comparisons with Steve Jobs. Full page photo spreads, lots of smiling, lots of shaking hands. Happy words and excitement. Hype lead to a presumption of success, which lead to more happy talking, which created more hype, leading to more presumption of success, which lead to more happy talking... Finally someone looked behind the curtain and saw there was nothing there. And everyone was disappointed and pretended to be so surprised. There are no UFOs.

Everyone involved are millionaires now and are permanently set for life. They're just going to spend their time now looking for the next narrative to fit and the next thing to take credit for, knowing nobody is going to fact check until they've done the cycle again.
If you are going down this path, I think the killer feature is to simply put the log in the console.log area, so there are interlaced with whatever you are logging on the client side, perhaps in a different colour.

Then you can see the timeline of both client and server ha penning together.

I'm in the US and I get 47 days (vacation, public holidays, company holidays, election day), 47 days is generous.
Mathematica is at a disadvantage since it worries about getting everything perfectly right, i.e. it cares about branch cuts and domains. I can cook up plenty of examples engineered to have these issues, which I could do (naively) but which Mathematica would choke on (when trying to solve it properly). All of the examples that Mathematica couldn't solve seem to be of this form. If you actually want it to stand a chance, you have to put in appropriate Assumptions, not just toss it in.

That said, I'm still extremely surprised this works that well. I would be very curious to test this interactively.
Yes. Because if there aren't any undercarriage sensors this will eventually lead to deaths.
I'd argue that the software people run on a Mac Pro is a strict superset of the software people run on a MacBook. Combine that with Apple's philosophy of hiding technical details from users (e.g. with fat-binaries in Darwin), so if Apple _does_ switch to ARM for the MacBooks that's not a problem: Microsoft Office for Mac, Chrome for Mac, and the rest (if they aren't just Electron apps like everything is thesedays) will have to be an x64/ARM fat-binary for the Apple App Store - and no-one will complain about specialty pro-only software distributed outside of the store only being available as x64.
I think this product targets children more than adults and wish all parents will manage to keep their kids away from these abusive profit engines.
How do I get the blue print?
Awful. I had the same experience with Online.net. A prepaid service that was paid, and then I cancelled through the bank, forbidding them from charging me, YET the kept the service running for a month, but I couldn't cancel as they blocked my account for non-payment (impayé). In the end I left the account in this state and stopped caring.

As far as I had understood it, if I don't pay, it SHOULD be suspended and deleted immidiately, NOT kept running and then the provider claiming I owe them for that service.
I would not recommend to use Gatsby in a project if it requires a frontend with complexity beyond static-scrollable content.

Some problems that I found after some months of integrating it with an existing CMS:

* Development complexity: depending if Gatsby is run on development or production mode, React's `render` methods are called in the browser or inside NodeJS.
Having this code executed in a Node process is expected because Gatsby is a static site generator, but this big split between the environment of development and production builds, paired with a growing codebase that keeps evolving, catches new developers on our team with multiple and surprising bugs.

* Debug complexity: JSX code is hard to debug, because the code that is really executed is generated at runtime, so it is not possible for example, to put a breakpoint in a JSX file from your text editor and start a build with Node running in debug mode.

* Runtime requirements: as far as I remember, executing `gatsby build` on my development machine uses ~3.4 GiB of private RAM for the main node process, and it takes around 5 minutes if the local cache is cleared (it ends in around a minute with cache).
Its important to remember this when choosing in which server the build runs.

* Integration: Gatsby does not provide out of the box integration with CMS for content authoring (like for example, page drafts).

Now to be honest, the global idea seems good (static websites built with React), but I would wait a few more years until it becomes more mature to use it again for any future project.

Maybe not children, but in my city it's not uncommon to find cats and other small animals sleeping under cars during winter.
There is a bunch of free programs for startups too, global competitions that fly some startups to a nice destination to pitch. I get the feeling the main goal of these competitions is to hoover data on early stage companies and on-sell to VCs and others.
> Why won't they?

Because they've standardized on CCS. Tesla tried to set a standard and it failed. It's time to switch to the standard.

The European Tesla Model 3 comes with a CCS type 2 combo port, so there's no technical impediment to implementing CCS.

> Why can't others do the same for the SuperCharger network?

More adapters we don't need. Everyone else is CCS, why isn't Tesla? Why should everyone manufacture and carry around adapters when it's much easier for Tesla to just switch its superchargers to CCS.

> Are you seriously asking this?

Yes. If Tesla genuinely wants to "accelerate the advent of sustainable transport" then it's time to get onboard with a common charging standard.
Same here! I visit many Tesla related forums and subreddit pretty much daily and also do not typically see these so called "complaints".

They pop up once in a while but not to the extent many people (often times from people don't even own one) claim.
Congratulations on launching Zapmarks!

I’m a big fan of bookmaking services. Having better ways of managing your saved information is important to me. I run https://trackr.sh that serves a similar goal.

Why did you pick a single keyword to identify your bookmarks? I use a similar workflow in Firefox vit found that it doesn’t scale for a lot of bookmarks. For https://trackr.sh I chose to go with a multi tag combination where you select a number of tags to narrow down your list of bookmarks.

You'd be surprised how married effects houses can be to their chip architectures. Attempts to switch can sink you when you realize that some technical artist wrote some extremely critical plugin or extension that's super fast only because it uses Intel only or AMD only instructions.

My own theory, Apple has probably already spoken with clients like effects houses long ago. Since these are the clients that will generate most of the revenue with this product, I'd wager they've put it together almost especially for them. If anyone else wants to buy one, gravy, but I'd bet Apple's money comes mainly from clients in those very specialized segments.

My guess is, they won't be doing anything those clients don't want them doing with that platform. Apple made that mistake once already, and it sounds like they are done chasing the larger market with their pro platform. Basically, They're going the HP workstation route and just becoming an Intel distributor. Only they're trying to distribute components in a bit more aesthetically pleasing package.
Is the identity of the breached third party public knowledge? Is there a way for other startups to determine if they may be at risk as well? If it has that many high-profile clients it is likely a popular service.
What makes information 'outdated'?
I agree with your criticisms. But currently the world would be better if there were more people like him, not less.
I get your comment for sure, but it is not true when you say those on Hacker News would downvote a comment for being off-topic when it is for a somewhat concerning moral issue. Many of the members here are better than that or at least more able to see the larger issues at stake I think.

Again though I still see your point and those claims, if situation was a little more mundane, are absolutely true.

They seem to be throwing services at the wall and seeing what sticks, lately. I really see nothing compelling here, unless it is something that has been done better by someone else. I wonder what union of "unrelated" services will yield Facebook exactly the same degree of tracking that they lost to recent regulations.

I guess one reason might be that they have a pre-existing social network to draw from, so much easier to coordinate social VR with friends.

Not saying that is sufficient, but it definitely helps compared with a startup that has to rely more on having strangers interact or, if meeting with friends, is likely to be higher friction that FB can offer.
Try going backwards. It’s easier to notice the speed difference the other way around :)
This assumes there is no planet or moon handy to whip around, to end up going in a completely different direction, with no extra energy expenditure.

It is tricky (but possible, with cleverness and a careful schedule) to gain or lose energy this way, but it doesn't matter. If your closest approach is well within the sun's photosphere, it doesn't matter how fast you're going when you get there. So, you can do it with essentially zero delta-v, starting and ending with the same total energy as an object would have co-orbiting with earth, but on an extremely eccentric orbit.

It's not terribly rare (on a geological timeline, at least) for comets to dispose of themselves this way.

Anyway, what is so great about dropping them in the sun? Jupiter swallows comets frequently. Mars is a squalid dump, and so is Venus, at least below the clouds.
