What’s worse is that we will lose trust in FAA as they still allow for a single non-redundant sensor.

At this point FAA should require minimum 2 sensors for something like MCAS which can crash they plane. This should be without regard to any prior certification of the planes.

> it's very inaccurate

That's going to be the case for any kind of wrist-based or bed-based sleep monitor. It simply isn't possible to derive accurate information about sleep by observing basic heart-rate and/or movement readings.

If you want real accuracy, look at the headband sleep trackers like Dreem or the Philips SmartSleep Headband. These use EEG to measure your brain activity. Personally, I'm very happy with Dreem.
Syntax is something you become used to in a few hours. But it's not what's the most important and will make your time more efficient in the end.
> do you really think Go is anywhere near C#/Java? Most devs in these languages tend to feel hampered by the roughness, the essentialism of Go[1]; whereas typical C++/C solutions benefit greatly from a simpler, indeed essential approach

Hard to say; it's important to recognize that Golang is still young, compared to Java/C#; the generics subject is very much open.

My very general idea is that Golang is a more modern language, specifically, because it was build from the ground up to tackle more modern problems (concurrency and networking first of all).

Also it's important to consider that there is an ecosystem beyond the pure language design - single binary approach, compiling time, etc. (I also have not-so-fond memories of XML-based build tools, I prefer Makefiles).

I've read of people writing fairly low-level stuff in Gol. I still personally prefer a proper systems programming language for that type of work. On the other hand though, many C/++ tools/projects originated when there wasn't so much availability of compiled languages - therefore the choice of such languages was not ideal; definitely, in the same conditions, Golang would have probabaly be better suited (but imagine how large it would be an Ubuntu distribution where all was written in Go ;-)).
There may have been other factors. Like being yelled at by unhappy customers all day.
it works on the wrist, it only takes the reading when you put your wrist (and the watch) over your heart. It actually forces you to literally put your wrist at heart level.

VVVVVV’s source code is now public, 10 year anniversary jam happening now
If you look at the other reply to my comment, someone has linked the Unison docs on their effect handlers implementation - which is what is used for IO, and with any luck, error handling as well. Haskell has several packages for effect handlers, and they're taking off in programming and category theory circles as alternatives to monads for IO.

The short summary is that you can write code with side-effects that you don't define the implementation for, and then let call sites handle those effects or defer them.
If being able to kill is part of the design, then you aren't negligent if it works as intended.
Why pursuing your passion outside work is good for you
I find that playing a game in VR is like listing to music in 5.1: It requires a lot of physical space and setup, which then limits the audience to a dedicated niche.

The limitation, in this case, is being affluent enough to have a large empty indoor space to dedicate to VR so you don't bump into things as you walk around; and the desire to calibrate the thing correctly. It's like setting up a really good sound system to listen to music in 5.1; really fun if you like that kind of thing, but "meh" to most people who are happy with a smart speaker.

In my case, when I played a friend's VR setup, he had to have his entire living room completely empty and the system calibrated correctly. Even though his living room was rather large for a Boston-area apartment, it just wasn't large enough, and I kept bumping into a specific wall where his system was miscalibrated.

Such a system will never work in a typical tiny Tokyo, NYC, or Hong Kong apartment; but I could see it selling being a good niche in suburban areas where it's common to have large basements.

Show HN can be used for job posts?
I'm glad that you escaped before the economic system got as messed up as it currently is, but there's a lot wrong with your point of view on this.

Those of us who live here do not exist as islands. We all participate in a rich economic web that requires exchanging services with lots of people. Teachers, bus drivers, delivery people, shop keepers, mechanics, plumbers, police officers... it takes a lot of people to run a society.

Typically the "not everybody has to be able to afford to live here" mindset has worked only when there is a wealthy exclusive enclave that tries to keep out poorer people and races they don't like, but when that community can still draw workers from more affordable places nearby.

The Bay Area has taken that "these people we depend upon for our lifestyle don't deserve to live here" attitude and applied it a region so large that people can no longer commute in. It leads to extremely dysfunctional societies.
> Thus, I disagree with the article: the single minimalist interface is definitely something that contributes to Sci-Hub's popularity.

I'm trying to understand what you disagree with in the article. If anything, it complements sci-hub's "alleged seamlessness."

"The repository's contents are likely scraped from public records"

Seems like a non-story to me. If you put it out there, someone is collecting, cleaning, and selling it. The fix in this particular scenario is to put less online.
> Oculus Quest hit records with its' sales for Christmas

I hope it's a lot more than 400 000 units (see https://qz.com/1739575/strong-oculus-quest-sales-boost-faceb...) because that's not a large number at all compared to all other gadgets sold at the same time.
Exactly. Especially with growing wages and shrinking revenues. Watch for the first uptick in unemployment claims. Companies will cut workers to make estimates.
IIRC someone in ancient Rome choked on some fruit, so they tried and convicted the tree of murder and had it chopped down. So there is legal precedent.
Holy crap! $9,600 per month for an intern!

That's an insane amount. That's the sort of money that most professionals here in the UK will never achieve, and it's on offer here for interns.

Most any language's built in psuedorandom number generator is going to be sufficiently random that you will have no trouble.

I mean, you could take something as facile as the sha1 of the current microtime, and a random concatenation of the user's data from the user table and that would already require so much access that figuring out the token wouldn't even be your biggest problem.
> Software is not engineering.

It can be. There are ways to prove a program is correct.
That's exactly my point! I am not confusing them. Please read my comment again.
You're right, I should have mentioned the advantages to begin with.

It's easier, cheaper and faster to setup a DAO than an international foundation, especially regarding registration, opening bank accounts and international members. Important questions such as "which jurisdiction to register the organization in" or "who manages the bank account" becomes irrelevant in a DAO.

It's also cheaper and easier to manage a DAO over time than a traditional foundation. There is no need of payments for bureaucratic stuff, since the protocol is in charge of organizing and executing decisions.

I don't belong to those convinced it's possible to write bug-free code, however, not every bug means immediate exploit, while exploits can also happen in legal contracts.

The immediate solution is a DAO where access is limited to known legal entities. In case a bug is exploited, you can always fall back on the good old legal system to resolve the conflict.

There are other possible solution, but I don't want to turn this comment into a lecture about DAOs.

We use a DAO in a project I've been involved with for a long time in the past, Bisq. I'm not sure how we could have managed it otherwise, since we were a small project, with contributors all over the world, most of them not knowing each other personally.
The reason why most legal systems distinguish various grades of causing unlawful death is precisely because intent matters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manslaughter

Mapping this onto complex systems is hard, but usually we presume that the system is under the control of the designer and therefore the intent or carelessness of the designer is what matters.

AI systems offer the disconcerting possibility that at some point the designers will start explicitly disclaiming fore-knowledge and therefore responsibility for what the system is doing. Nontransparent neural networks are a particularly awkward problem here.
Given the immigration situation, probably not. If you just want disposable income, go to Zurich.
people who use social media will be less creative, have higher levels of anxiety and lower attention spans.

Speaking for myself only, also noticed my levels of empathy towards others are also directly related to how much time I spend online and how much and what[1] I consume (and whatever headline has riled me up).

[1] It's easy to say "just avoid toxic content" when the majority of content (on social media is toxic).
Ok you might want to watch this short documentary. Your fun 'pirated' games and software with 'better support' might cost you dearly when your daughter or your girlfriend/wife gets filmed by a hacker, using your own webcam.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFS3p0emftw - "Security awareness: Filmmaker explores RAT malware, buys access to random PCs for just 15 cents a piece - made short film about his experience"

Movies and other media files that don't run any scripts are ok if you're careful and know what you're doing, but installing pirated software is an invitation to get blackmailed and extored by darknet hackers.
> and VR will eventually become the new gaming platform that publishers wants to release on.

I predict the opposite. It will sell a few headsets maybe (a peak), but that alone will not change the course of the technology at all in 2020. Plus, Half Life's popularity in 2020 has nothing to do with its popularity 20 years ago.
Does a human have the ability to opt out of orders if the punishment for opting out is death?
I disagree. There are nowadays "real" projects using a DAO, I'm involved in one of them. Are those projects not real?
Polite reminder that Kent Overstreet is still plugging away at a new copy-on-write FS for Linux called bcachefs. One day, I hope it'll replace ZFS for my uses.

I'm not involved with the project in any way, apart from sending him a few bucks a month on patreon. It's literally the only open source thing I sponsor; it seems like a really worthwhile effort especially considering Linus' advice here...
This bothers me too. I don't like social media, and I do agree that they might be affecting people's careers and personal lives to some extend, but I wouldn't like to work in a company that creates such a tight bubble around such a very specifc topic.

I would also expect that a company that does "email campaigns with high conversions achieved through dynamic content such as images" would benefit from having people who at least understand social media which I assume is a large part of their user base.
Building a product for users not awards or investment
So besides the obvious btrfs answer, what about ceph as clustered storage with very fast connectivity?

There is also BeeGFS, I haven't used it but /r/datahoarders sometimes touts it.

Not for linux but I have been keeping an eye on M Dillons DragonFly BSD where he has been working on HAMMER2, which is very interesting.

I don't know much but bcachefs has been making more waves lately also.

I think the bottom line is that people need to have good backup in place regardless.
Is this good for analog stuff, at least as effective as LTSpice?

I've been using the latter on a Mac for simulating vacuum tube (UK: valve) circuits with some success and a very large amount of frustration. I would love something a little less actively user-hostile...

That seems to be incorrect. The linked page seems to suggest that both changes will exist without any conflict at the VCS level at all.
Every video game ever made has this problem suffers from a lack of haptic feedback and gaming is still one of the biggest activities in the world.
How is the quest 1st gen? There have been headsets for VR for quite a while already, including phone-based VR prior to that, so it's hardly a "first gen" product at all unless you narrow down the definition to mean exactly what you want it to mean.
Approx 800mg. The pill size varies with vendor so sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less.
>If I had stayed in academia (I didn't partially because of the toxic nature of publishing)

Which country are you from? Where are you now, in industry? Is there less toxic environment than in academia?
> However it happened, modularity is still a good thing.

It may be a good thing, and it may not. Linux has a bajillion file systems, some more useful than others, and that is unique in some ways.

Solaris and other enterprise-y Unixes at the time only had one. Even the BSDs generally only have a few that they run on instead of ext2/3/4, XFS, ReiserFS (remember when that was going to take over?), btrfs, bcachefs, etc, etc, etc.

At most, a company may have purchased a license for Veritas:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veritas_Storage_Foundation

By rolling everything together, you get ACID writes, atomic space-efficient low-overhead snapshots, storage pools, etc. All this just be removing one layer of indirection and doing some telescoping:

* https://blogs.oracle.com/bonwick/rampant-layering-violation

It's not "modularity bad", but that to achieve the same result someone would have had to write/expand a layer-to-layer API to achieve the same results, and no one did. Also, as a first-order estimate of complexity: how many lines of code (LoC) are there in mdraid/LVM/ext4 versus ZFS (or UFS+SVM on Solaris).
They can come back to haunt them, come back to haunt you, and come back to haunt people you like at your company who get caught in the blast radius if your words are misinterpreted. Because when written material is disclosed and published, the person who made the original on-a-record statement doesn't usually get to testify as to what they meant, and your words will be interpreted by a litigious party hostile to the interests of your company, and sometimes by the public (after having their expectations primed by the litigious party hostile to the interests of your company).

If you believe that your "ragging on your employers" can stand that level of scrutiny, then by all means, commit them to writing.
You're behind the times on the red light/melatonin feature. It's now built into probably every major OS. Windows calls it Night Light. Apple calls it Night Shift. Android calls it Night Mode. I used to use the f.lux app on Linux but now it's built into GNOME. Try it out, it's pretty easy to feel the difference, IMO.
For all the tech wizards out there who want to meaningfully science from the comfort of your own laptop - help Sci-Hub scale. Your experience with helping build massively extensible web systems is completely and wonderfully needed in the existential fight for researchers to get information.

From where I live Sci-Hub is often slow, breaking down, etc. Help them!
This is really interesting in that it doesn't use photoplethysmography (PPG) in the same way that the Galaxy Active 2 does(an optical sensor that measures bounced back light.) There's an inflatable cuff within the wristband.

I'm assuming this will be a lot more expensive but calibration shouldn't be as much of an issue and it should be more accurate.
He used a NeXT computer for that IIRC
No changes are ever made to an existing file, so there are never any merge conflicts. All changes result in a new object/file, named based on a content hash.

So in git terms, there are never any updates, only additions, and therefore never any merge conflicts.
The entire story is a male->tech, woman->nature cliche.
Thank you for asking - I was a little afraid to ask as well.
I think there's a fine line between communicating without sugar-coating and speaking past one's own local knowledge of a problem that a lot of engineers don't recognize.

There are ways to prove the program will reach certain outputs within a certain envelope of inputs under a certain set of constraints.

This in itself is rather limited. For example, a formal prover would know nothing about something like rowhammer, and would happily accept code that seems to work as intended but also executes a rowhammer attack on the side which completely changes the output.

Ignoring that, this definition of correct is entirely divorced from the level where requirements exist, which is as envisioned. An error in requirements or an error in design can still very well yield formally 'correct' code.

There's no way around this today, and there's a pretty strong argument that this is an inherent problem to which no solution exists. This is precisely why NASA has lost missions despite being one of the most prolific users of formal provers.

They proved the code works as designed, but that says nothing of the design being correct, which says nothing of the intent of the design being correct.

Some of the advice from David Graeber's book "Bullshit Jobs" seems appropriate. Although you seem to still fulfill a useful function at Google, I found myself using some of the same strategies too.

Creating Software Quickly – Identify Low Hanging Fruit
It's literally an email marketing company. Email is an og social media. They are posting their listing on hn, a forum, another og social media. I just dont get this mentality that treats Facebook/twitter as a different class of technology than email, rss, reddit, irc, and AIM/MSN/ICQ. Their difference is in degree not kind. Facebook is email/aim+wordpress/blogger. It's rss with a type of sharing+popularity-detector.

The counter argument being, they arent filtering by people who dont use social media, as much as conducting a social experiment asking people TO quit social media if they are hired. I think its well within their right to build a culture of people with a mindset, and filter for people who live the message they are trying to propagate and/or are willing to forego "social media" as a participant in an exercise.
> Yeah, the evidence they cite for VR declining seems to be entirely within the space of 3DoF VR, like Google's Daydream and VR video:

If VR were such a hot market surely you would not see the Google Daydream news and Samsung killing off GearVR. You have to take in account all news, positive and negative, to get an actual view of how the market is doing. And also the investment. And investment in VR has been in the decline for a couple of years now after an initial peak.

I've only had the apple watch 4 and the fitbit charge 3, so I'm no expert. For the past 3 months I've been using the Xiaomi Band 4. Battery life is coming on 16-17 days of a single charge, has plenty of watch faces, push notifications and music control and its waterproof for around 35usd. I use it mostly to track my heart rate and sleep. The stock Mi Fit is garbage but recommend a notify which is a 3rd party app.

In addition, it's a good idea to run a test on your hardware with bcrypt and increase the work factor until it takes just enough time to still be comfortably fast. You don't want it to take 10 seconds to solve. But you also don't want 10ms.
> But I've also noticed personally that I'm comfortable judging an interviewee's answer to my open-ended questions.

This is almost surely due to bias, almost everyone believe they are good at it but statistics say that the ones who can judge it are so few that there is no point in trying.
For me personally I have tried it, and it gives me a headache and makes me feel bad. Now this could be like anything else that causes motion sickness where one would get accustomed to it, but I am not prepared to spend a lot of money on a headset not knowing if it ever would not give me a headache.

Also the experience isn't really mind-blowing either. We are still in a physical space where I'll walk into a wall. Virtual reality is far from reality and constrained by reality at the same time. I'd rather game with a large HD screen and use input devices so I still have my senses if I have to respond to the real world.
This is a very weird ask, but to be fair the pay is very handsome.

I don't use social media, I don't live in the bay area, and I've been in the industry for a long time... but were it not for that, I would apply :-)

My question was why would this feature exist at all if this phone is not meant for people to spend time looking at its screen but, you know, offline. It's like trying throwing in a pair of off-road bike gloves wehen selling a bed.
This reminds me of SQLite's own Fossil-SCM product [0]. It's a source control manager with wiki and built-in web interface all stored within one SQLite file. They use it to manage the source of SQLite itself.

I played with it briefly a few years ago, and just tried it again now. It's definitely not geared towards note taking the way other apps in this thread are, but it could have value as a self-contained and portable wiki/kb. I'd be interested to hear of people's experience with this, either for its main purpose or even just as a note taking system.

I've recently started using yadm, which is a light abstraction on top of git. One big reason - "Alternate Files" support - which makes it easy to have MacOS and Linux binaries for the same tools, along with the rest of my shell setup, in one Git repo.
