Bingo, this is the thing that designers always mistake with minimalism. It doesn't just mean taking everything away, it's about minimal amount of headaches and avoiding information overload.

But that ranks far lower on the problem totem pole than not knowing how to do anything because it's all hidden or simply not obvious or explained.
Typing Hangul is just like typing Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, etc., text: one alphabetic unit at a time. The only thing a Hangul IME does is it groups the typed jamo into syllables. The grouping is unambiguous, so there's no need for popups or space presses to guide the grouping.

(If there had been the kind of rendering technology that is used for Indic text today back when Korean text processing on computers started, chances are that the syllable grouping would be handled as rendering-time shaping and not as an input-time IME issue.)

Additionally, Korean IMEs have a feature to convert a word into Hanja, but it's something you need to take action to invoke as opposed to Japanese IMEs offering to convert to Kanji by default.
I’ve posted about it before, but since it’s being asked again:

It’s not “tech” and it’s refreshing to build something from scratch that’s very tangible. I want to walk away from data science and create something that allows me to open a store selling lifestyle products for men one day. To this end, I launched a men’s skincare line about 3 months ago (https://www.mendskin.co) which isn’t “successful” yet, but it’s my first experience selling physical goods and I think these things take time. Right now, I spend about 10 hours per week on Ads, customer service, and fulfillment. So, it’s kinda passive.

“Beauty products” (for lack of a better term) definitely require heavy capital, and it’s becoming hard to do everything by myself. All the individual things that need to be done aren’t hard- it’s just that there’s so much to do in order to deliver successful physical products.

But I enjoy it.

Controlled compromise of privacy for the sake of scientific insight seems like a good idea, until you realize that we either get profoundly non-replicable junk "science", or continued and unlimited re-breach of privacy for the sake of replication. Neither is any good.

Kind of OT but I don’t understand why everyone with some spare time doesn’t get licensed for real estate to circumvent the cartel fees. It costs about $300 + the fees for the classes and 135 hours of time. But it can save you tens of thousands, gets you privileged access to listings, plugs you into the whole real estate ecosystem... it’s kind of a no brainer, as far as I can tell
But in the pathological case where all the inputs collide to the same hash, I don't see how you avoid degrading to at least O(N log N), even with resizing -- you must account for the resizing as an O( g(N) ) operation.

How could scientists paying to publish their work incentivize them to publish more? How would spamming the world with more publications inflate a scientist's impact factor? (It wouldn't -- impact factor would be diluted by the spam)

It was always possible to self-publish and to cite self-published work, and even without journals, a modern scientist can publish on a free webhost for even cheaper than an open-access journal.

This is how you interview. She obviously is very self-driven and a good communicator. If she were hurled some leetcode, there's a good chance she would have failed (as do so many devs with years more experience than her) and yet even reading this post made me think she's a great hire.

Managers: fight to change your hiring process. Throw out coding tests, leetcode and white board shenanigans. Invest in your own skills so you can quickly and accurately identify talented people. Take chances on unusual backgrounds. Not only will you save a bunch of everyone's time, you'll have a more organic culture and pick up diamonds that places like Google will pass over every time.

> Consider cities... like London and New York. (snip) Note that I'm only asking about city travel

Generally speaking, I don't see any future where people no longer drive, because the cost of not-driving is so exorbitantly expensive that very few people will ever be able to afford it. EVs are cheap, and get cheaper every day. Dense urban "car-free" housing is already unaffordable for almost everyone, and only gets more expensive every day as development continues.

Unless we get extremely lucky and the housing market crashes hard, the future will probably be one where it's cheaper to have buy 6 to 12 brand-new zero-emission EVs, than it will be to afford an urban car-free 2-bedroom condo in any top-20 city. Given Urbanists political goals (and the fact that Urbanists are winning their goals), I suspect public car commuting and VMT to grow every single year, for 80% of the low and/or middle class population.

In the early/mid 90s, there was a big political fight over whether commerce should be allowed over the internet. On 'our' side (geeks, academics, netizens), we believed that commercialization of the internet would lead to its downfall. All of the technical things you mentioned would likely have happened without commercialization, and most if not all of the problems you mention are either created or exacerbated by this commercialization. I think the OP's analysis that the first 25 years were great, and the second 25 years it started to go off the rails, completely coincides with what we argued back then. Unfortunately the cat is out of the barn and there's no way to right the internet without going back in time.
If it is a liquid asset, you should count unrealized gains as income. If you invested $100k in VOO last year, and it is worth $120k today, then you have definitely made $20k in the last year. That's $20k that you can choose withdraw and spend, at any time. Just because you choose to reinvest the $20k (ie, by letting it ride) doesn't change the fact that you've made $20k. It's really the same as collecting $20k in dividends and then enrolling in the dividend-reinvestment program.

The delivery method is generally the missing piece.

For the first of the reports mentioned here the authors used bacterial conjugation [1] as the delivery method. They note that:

"In culture conditions that enhance cell-to-cell contact, conjugation rates approach 100% with the cis-acting plasmid."

So, I guess what is less clear is if this would me the case in a real bacterial infection. And would this generalize to a broad spectrum of pathogenic bacteria?

The delivery mechanism in the second, anti-viral, paper is less clear to me. Perhaps someone else can comment.

In general, I still like the idea of using bacteriophages. But finding broad spectrum bacteriophages seems problematic. Using DNA sequencing as a diagnostic to target therapies seems like in interesting idea (once DNA sequencing becomes cheap enough and easily available).

They typically don't count traffic within their network towards the data cap (e.g. streaming Xfinity TV), so I don't think it is safe to make an assumption about the banner one way or another.

I agree we should be teaching more financial literacy, but I think this, and most of these financial literacy courses, gloss over the realities of poverty.

An emergency fund is very important, but most people in poverty live in the red perpetually. There is never extra cash to save up. Any extra money is swiftly gobbled up by debtors who wait indefinitely for any money to show.

Which is actually one reason you will see some poor people make seemingly ridiculous purchases as soon as they get money. They know from experience that any extra cash on hand will get taken by creditors as soon as they detect it. So they spend it. At least, if you buy something of value, you can pawn it for cash later when you need it.

It's a terrible cycle.
I think that the most recent reelrock with AH and TC speed climbing the nose gives way more context on the same topic.

The technology really is the same in both the speed climb and the solo,; the ability to catch long falls without much human intervention is the big deal in being able to rehearse the moves at a point where they can be done "safely".

You can try to divorce technique (knowledge) from technology, but how we use a tool is so much of what a tool is.

In fact at least one company is looking into this, having the car self-navigate as much as possible, but when confronted with a difficult situation like construction or debris in the road it would call back to a remote operator who would take over until you are past the difficult situation. They also saved the operators response so when the next car hits the same obstacle and calls back the next operator can just repeat the same solution.

I thought it was a good idea, but somewhat more expensive since you have to keep a big call center running and it depends on having reliable and fast internet connectivity at all times. The alternative is what everybody else is doing where you have to have a full set of controls and a licensed driver behind the wheel ready to take over when the AI runs into a situation it can't handle.
My favorite interviews are when they give me a take home project that takes 2-3 hours and then during the technical interview you go over the solution and talk about ways to improve it. It gives applicants a chance to actually prepare for the interview in a meaningful way and I personally am much less nervous for this type of interview.

Passive discrimination is still discrimination. Changing the terminology doesn't change the reality.

Which is why it's not a bad idea to stick close to the base HTML spec unless you have a real good reason to deviate from it or use advanced features, JavaScript based animation, etc. Because HTML is a document format not a render format, staying close to home on the spec gives you a lot of accessibility for free. Not all of it, images of course are still just binary blobs without more metadata, but you cover a lot of ground.

A website in flash got approximately zero of that for free, and it was a known issue in that era. Accessibility suffered.
Last night I backed up some old swf games that I enjoy(ed) playing but wasn't able to answer the question how to be able to run the files in the future. Should I install a VM and never run updates, similar to my Windows XP VM for games, or does anyone know of some (preferably open source) flash implementation that I can run standalone?

Edit: I just found this subthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21388405 Quite a few alternative implementations are mentioned. Doesn't sound like anything will be perfect, but this looks more future proof than I was afraid it might be!

Beware: don't share dot files with the Files app. I tried to sync a git directory and now my Files app is filled with several hundred git object files (bf13ee59588b878f1d780c5cc8cd2e3410eaba, etc) that cannot be selected, moved, or deleted because they allegedly "do not exist" according to the error dialog.
Many of those things are "hushed up", when archaeologists find things that are against the established picture of this time it's always a "we don't know what that is, but it can't be this - because at this time this didn't existed".

This is related but what is the best trade-off for security vs privacy? Personally, I'd love the ability to inspect what goes over my network and devices. I should be able to choose to intercept/log unencrypted content. (I guess this is actually the NSA-lite argument) With key pinning and HSTS it makes seeing what the content of a packet is really hard. On android you actually have to hack apk's to replace the keys.

It used to be very easy to put everything through a proxy server or mitmproxy and install a certificate on a device. While I value privacy and security it seems like everyone tech company moves to "protect users" is really a way to keep their adware and spyware running on their walled gardens.
Not this again... flawed ideas built on an an extremely narrow and false premise.

I have no idea where all this salt comes from about go advocates, but there are plenty of Rails-likes in Go that are accepted and used by the community. Buffalo is probably the most Rails-ish (from a glance, I've not use Rails extensively), and it's maintained/advocated for by folks who have long been pillars of the community. Martini was effectively replaced by Gin (https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin), which is still heavily used.
I love the interview questions. I, probably more than other devs, Google a ton of stuff and iterate out to an efficient solution. My first idea is never great, and I know it.
Yes. I'm also in embedded development (and desktop, and networking, and...) and I'm the only dev using C++. Everyone else is on C.
