Interesting, they missed a couple from my experience.

The big one is starting a debate. Because I'm a helpful person when someone asked for feedback why they weren't getting the job I would offer them my thoughts. Way too often this turned into a discussion by them to me about how I was wrong about them and my thoughts didn't apply. Sometimes it might be due to a phenomenal lack of self awareness and sometimes it might be a negotiation tactic, but it always was awkward and uncomfortable.

At Google, the 'sourcers' really didn't want to put 'not a fit' into the application tracking system (ATS) because if they did so they would not be able to call that person back if another position opened up. Inevitably applicants would say they had other people who were talking to them and would probably provide offers (I think some people think that is a useful tactic for pushing things along) and the sourcers would just cross their fingers and hoped they would take that other job, or another candidate that was a better fit would get accepted. Either way they preserve a 'possible' in their list of candidates for the future.

In my discussion with Google's recruiting folks at the time I argued that the ATS system was hurting Google because while someone might be a poor fit in one role, there may be another role where they were a superstar. I've seen it in my career many times where a change of roles completely changed the evaluation of the person doing the job. I never got very far in that discussion but did learn of the 'trick' of just not talking to them as a way of leaving them in a viable 'possible candidate' state for the next role that might come up.

One alternative is to be really clear in what you want out of someone in a role and if they don't meet the standard move them out. But that is very risky for "protected" people such as older engineers, or other races or religions. You can combat that risk by managing to a very diverse workforce but it feels to me that way too many people hire people like themselves.

At the end of the day these can be opportunities for startups to get some great talent.

The issue is documentation, and the legal risks it can carry. If you get ghosted and believe it's discrimination, that is a very different beast than if you can twist the words of the feedback you've received to imply it may have been discrimination.
Google Web Fonts are not an "or", here. Fonts have disappeared from it, and there is no reason to not expect Google to, at some point in the future, go: "you know what, this costs too much without any substantial return." And now it's just another killedbygoogle.com product. Just like images, self-hosting woff/woff2 should be step 1.
How you do it is similar to this talk: https://youtu.be/MiiWzJE0fEA

It's not perfect. You do need real world data. Synthetic data is great for creating edge cases. Say you want your model to classify more general use cases, but your real world data is limited. You can generate data that fits edge cases with some variance and the model will accept more variety, reducing over fitting.
These failures can be boiled down to a single word: Hype.

If you watch the videos for these products they are full of hype and silly use cases. At the end of the day these things have consequences.

We have a house full of robots. Most are useless. Most saw use for minutes out of the box and have been collecting dust for years.

If you sell products based on exaggerated claims and unrealistic use cases, failure is the only possible limit state for the business equation you have created.

This website needs to scale text better on mobile (on an iPhone) so it's not hard to read. Especially for a post advocating on using vanilla HTML and how nice and powerful it is.

I don't think I particularly disagree with any of the post, but I found it a little long-winded.

I think one of the problems is that the cobalt doesn't reach component manufacturers until it's been through a series of smelters/refiners.

In my recent project, I try to do as much as possible through serverside rendering, obviously there are things that still require JavaScript. I just extract those out as components. Right now I’m using WebComponents, but you can easily use Vue if you wanted.

It would be nice if I could indicate which meals are important to me if I pick fewer than 3 meals a day. Breakfast and lunch is not a winning combination, whereas "that small meal at 10:30 that doesn't really have a name" and "that meal at 5pm that doesn't have a name" would be useful.

If I remember correctly, this is like the third comment I have read on HN in years that shows Sublime Text is faster than VSCode.

I have been arguing about this since may be 2016 or earlier, on HN it was the echo chamber of how much faster VSCode is compared to Atom! I cant believe this is built on Electron etc. And with every VSCode update I tried and while it was definitely faster than Atom, it was no way near as fast as Sublime. And every time this was brought up the answer was they felt no different between VSCode and Sublime or VSCode is fast enough it didn't matter.

The biggest problem of all problems is not seeing it as a problem.

I hope VSCode will continue to push the boundary of Electron Apps, they had a WebGL Render if I remember correctly that was way faster, not sure if there are anymore things in the pipeline.

For me using an app like "My Macros+" where you can search for and add your own custom recipes has been the best change I have made. Once you have done it for a couple of weeks then a lot of the recipes for the food you eat are already in the app. Then every time you eat a meal going forward it only takes about 5 seconds to log it. The app sums the macro nutrients for you and you can see if you are on track. If I'm a little behind I know I can have a 1/4 cup of peanuts or a protein bar or whatever and I will be back on track. I never weigh food on scales or calculate BMI.
> Many places will leave positions open for opportunistic hires, e.g. see how many places are constantly hiring for "software engineer". Many job positions never actually close.

This is a good point, and while it's weird and a little frustrating from the outside, it's awesome from the inside:

The right time to hire is not when you're ramping something up or strapped for time and really need someone immediately. The right time to hire is when you've got someone awesome who is really interested in the job.

Keeping the req open gives you a better chance of grabbing that awesome person: whenever they are ready, the position is waiting. If you have to align the stars so that you're looking at the same time they are, you're going to miss some opportunities.

I have to say, although I agree that type-safety is nice, in practice having worked on many javascript apps large and small throughout the past decade, type errors have never been something that slowed me or my team down. Lately I've been questioning whether the hype around TS, and the extra layer of complexity, is really worth it. I guess it depends on the team etc, but I certainly question whether it's a good choice for new or smaller projects.

For me it is usually lost trust in the creators. If they market it like a finished product when it barely works I will not trust them anymore.

Now, if it is obvious that something is a work in progress then I personally wont mind giving it a new shot.

There is a reason why Ada continues to be used in safety critical systems--it works. More bugs are prevented and problems are detected earlier than they would be in a more lax language such as C or C++.

The large uptake and excitement around Rust shows that there are many C and C++ programmers who appreciate the safety guarantees that it provides. The popularity of Rust has actually created a resurgence of interest in Ada and each language has benefitted from the other.

For example, Spark, a well-defined subset of the Ada language intended for formal verification of mission-critical software, is adopting safe pointers that were inspired by Rust (source: https://blog.adacore.com/using-pointers-in-spark).

I would not be surprised if Rust also adds features based on ideas from Ada.

This is good. The "fast and loose" qualities of C and C++ allow far too many errors and security vulnerabilities in software. We have better tools. We just need to use them.

Wow, thanks for the response, that's really neat. I'm still confused though. Is this VM running every possible program ever (branching N times every step, given an instruction set of size N?) And then the run function just picks the right result? Thanks again.
It's not a conspiracy theory if the proposed scenario is the DOJ says to Apple in a lawful wiretap order "you must push this wiretapped messaging app update to phone identified by IMEI 12345". Wiretaps and stored comms records subpoenas are commonplace things, and the DOJ is entirely capable of contracting someone to quickly produce a specially-modified wiretap version of any app available on the app store (it's not a terribly difficult technical hurdle), even the ones that aren't open source.

Whether or not Apple would cooperate by providing the appropriate app signature and shipping it to the phone or not is another question. There is of course the legal argument that creating a cryptographic signature against their will is compelled speech and thus they have the right to fight or refuse. Personally, I doubt they'd fight very hard, provided the whole thing were kept secret (which would be in the interest of both Apple and the DOJ). Apple knows quite well that you can't fight city hall (or the CCP). The wiretapped iCloud servers in China are a perfect example of Apple's reputation remaining intact despite shipping a nationwide backdoor for a government to millions of their iPhone and iPad customers.

After all, they'd always have the standard "we received a lawful wiretap order, signed by a federal judge, appropriately limited in scope to a single suspect, with which we were legally required to comply" fallback.
Dropout Makes $12,500/Month from Home and You Won't Believe How He Does It
He's your brother is family so even if she may have fallen out sometimes you just gotta help out. sounds like you have an ideal situation you keep making videos for kapla he makes them for city blocks I would advise that you don't mention each other or anything like that as in your brother's so the both organisations don't know you're competing against one another for their stuff. No reason you both can't get paid but I would suggest that perhaps instead of paying him YouTube revenue you offer to help him get set up and start doing his own channel at no cost similar to how he helped you when you started your channel.

I would suggest he didn't money out of it and try and get him set up so he's making his own money but make it clear to him that you never gonna want to claim off his. what he does on his channel is his, what you do on your channel is yours

> a large number of extremely toxic people that drive people away

It's funny you say that because as soon as I saw semantic web I had a negative emotional nostalgia. I can hardly remember all of the RDF/RSS/Atom stuff from way, way back or what the trigger for that is but I just remember there being rancor swirling around the whole thing. I think there was some petty arguments about who deserved credit for the creation of the formats or something? Wasn't it between a bunch of bloggers? Then XHTML became a battleground since some groups were trying to keep semantic tags out of it while other people wanted them in. I remember just feeling exhausted every time the subject came up since it was like emacs vs. vim or space vs. tabs wars.

The funny thing is, I believe in the promise of the semantic web. I recall Tim Berners-Lee declaring the next frontier was not open source but open data and I agree. He even co-founded an institute around it: https://theodi.org/person/sir-tim-berners-lee/
Still not buying it. The value of the Maxes they own sitting on the tarmac has plummeted and all the capital they consumed now has a big fat zero ROI (negative, really, because they still need maintenance and interest payments). If airline X has to reduce flights because they can't fly them, and airline Y doesn't, those flexibility-demanding, well-paying business pax will migrate to Y, and it's Y who will reap the most gains from the sudden reduction in competition.

And automated rebooking is a fantasy. Sure, the airline will try to default you onto some other connection, but I've always ended up talking to a human afterwards and picking out a better alternative.

This may be missing the point, but PostScript is not only homoiconic, but also point-free!

>The beauty of your functional approach is that you're using PostScript code as PostScript data, thanks to the fact that PostScript is fully homoiconic, just like Lisp! So it's excellent for defining and processing domain specific languages, and it's effectively like a stack based, point free or "tacic," dynamically bound, object oriented Lisp!

For people with a big calorie budget (I put in 3k) the suggestions are pretty hilarious.

Nice idea, though it did not work for me:

- there is difference between carbs from glycemic load perspective - e.g. white rice vs oatmeal are totally different carbs for the same carb amount. You may think that you eat right amount of calories but your excess fat will not start to get metabolized if your insulin levels are high because of regular fast carbs intake.

- same thing for "fat" - olive oil vs pork - no breakdown of saturated/unsaturated fats - seems important for eating healthy

Yes. It's also well understood that combat pilots accept the possibility of death when they sign up for military service. That's not the risk tolerance that is accepted for passenger travel.
In addition to your reasons, I also downvoted the comment because it is completely irrelevant; whether or not GCP might someday be shut down has nothing at all to do with security best practices on the platform.

Completely agreed. I don't understand the word "killed". I subscribe to 15-20 podcast feeds with RSS. I've noticed it getting harder to find RSS feeds, but put that down to sites that want to be visited more often.

Your question applies to all systems that can fail, so the implication must be wrong.
Google documents didn't show that a day or two ago. A third-party article quoting only unnamed sources made claims about Google's thinking early last year before several executive hiring and other actions which show some real serious effort towads GCP's success, and which claims Google has officially said were "not accurate".

I wish Google were making a clearer public push to make their actual plans widely known, but they've long been bad at PR, so I don't read anything into it either way.

(Disclaimer: I used to work for Google, including the GCP team, but I haven't done so since early 2015 and do not have firsthand authoritative knowledge on the accuracy of the allegations from the article - I don't need insider knowledge to know that the public record is currently ambiguous. I'm certainly not speaking for Google here.)
I use SMS, Slack, Discord, Skype, IRC, Google Hangouts, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, so you have me beat by 3. :) It would be amazing of Matrix and its bridges got good enough so I could reduce this number a bit.
Absolutely! But that's another topic, namely "How much time should I wait after the release of a new version before updating?" :) That highly depends on the kind of software you are working on and the supplier of the given dependencies (trust/experience/ability and willingness to self-test new versions).
Yeah. If anything the phrase should be more like "syntactics". Semantics is anything but semantics.
Google web fonts were a great way to make my site slower. I don’t know if it’s the latency here in Australia or what, but (especially for developing locally) google web fonts were a big headache for having snappy webpages.
