I was skeptical it was a simple search for „luck” and he doesnt link to the review but only his book.

I bought the book and found the source to the original study[1]. It actually looks like they searched for luck articles, altough in this paper he goes and talks about how different words are used for luck. I dont have time to examine further

No; if you create an index for the item: `insensitiveQuery(some_table.name)` and you then attempt to run: `SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE insensitiveQuery(name) LIKE insensitiveQuery('Étranger');`, the engine would run the `insensitiveQuery` function on the string `'Étranger'`, and then look up that result in the index directly, which is O(nlogn) or faster. If you have a million tables, that'd run the function only once (on `Étranger`) and do about 20 lookups in the index before finding you the qualifying row(s).
I've pushed some changes today that will make it run on SteamVR, so it should run on a Rift S as well.

You think these companies are the only ones that can develop such drugs?
Did you just read the one sentence and not any other text on that page?:
"Coming later this year: Automatic driving on city streets.",

Oh and how about "The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.".

- Which I just copy-pasted from the exact page you are talking about. Who is being disingenious here?

I honestly don't think that there is any significant number of potential buyers who go onto a website to buy a car, and pull one sentence from that page out of context, ignore the rest of the text and then make their decision based on that.
Say what you want, but you would never be able to avoid a crash like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqHtavx-eec

I have definitely internalized the idea that it's all just tradeoffs. I think I value delivering quality software and it's hard to feel like I'm doing that when I see so many production outages and most of my interaction with co-workers is people telling me something is broken. I get that stuff happens sometimes, but we can't seem to keep a test environment stable. Managers are definitely aware of the issue, but I feel like it keeps getting worse. I can't hold back a tidal wave alone.

Thank you for sharing your perspective.

The car stopping if another car goes before it brings up another issue. If self driving cars start showing up on the road and are recognizable, you'd be able to "bully" the self driving cars since you know it'll always give right away. Imagine being stuck on an on-ramp behind a car that is programmed with infinite patience and extreme risk aversion; you could be sitting there quite a while.
Which is one of the few options that doas also supports.

I spent so many work hours devoted to getting elements lined up pixel-perfect to match jpegs from graphic design, and then struggling to get them to also match up in the other browsers. During some periods you even had to fight between versions of IE. Man, those were some expensive pixels!
I find the push to turn web browsers into VMs for running sandboxed JavaScript/WebAssembly applications fascinating. WebUSB, WebGPU, WebTransport, etc etc. I think it's really cool, and enables cool things, but I have 1 problem with it.

I wish we separated the browser application from the VM application. ie, let us make simple, secure content with HTML and minimal CSS. For things like Wikipedia and even a lot of YouTube that's all you need. People can use an extremely simple (and private/secure!) program to access this kind of content. A text version of my personal site is browsable with cURL or even netcat[0].

Make the VM a separate program that people use for fancy web apps.

The prudent thing to do there, would be to exercise prudence. Not announce to investors and the public ever more grandiose targets after each miss.

As it is we're on about Autonomous Driving Promise Mk IV from Musk, "fully autonomous, coast to coast, by the end of 2020". (That's after 2018 was missed. Which was after 2016 was missed.)

Dashlane is somewhat ok. The mobile experience is broken (you'd have to use their browser I guess, never tried), and you probably cannot install it behind a corporate firewall

but I'm a happy customer for 5 years because of a killer feature : the ability to share passwords with my wife across our desktop and laptops, for all the websites we need to access both (from library to utilities, official websites, kids schools, etc, etc)
This feels like an overreach of the risk premium concept. At the very least, it doesn't describe how AppAmaGooFaceSoft arrive at their compensation scheme. You need to separate out uncertainty from the supply function (sell your time to the highest bidder). If the risk is someone might come along with a better offer, but the job market is too opaque to know for sure, there are systems we can set up to make it more transparent. Or at least lock in the current rate for a span of time with a contract.

I'm relatively certain that if you established a clearing house for tech jobs the way the AEA does for economists, even if it removed all the uncertainty of who the highest bidder for an employee was, wages would remain high or possibly go higher. There's a lot of room for top tech firms to bid up wages yet, and even the small bootstrapped companies value programmer time pretty highly.
Saleem has joined the Swift core team, but as far as I know he’s not employed by Apple.
For MySQL, most of the time it is better to not use a real collation at all and just do utf8mb4_bin. This disabled weird features like case insensitivity. You do need to make sure you properly encode strings, especially if you are working with combining code points. But it is much simpler and a little more efficient.
Well, I think it would be pretty rare for someone to suddenly find themselves the CEO of a large company without first having spent many years working just as hard at lower levels. And it would also be rare for someone to be hired as CEO if the board knew they were planning on leaving after a year or two (unless it was an interim position).

Since the OP mentioned Matt Levine's Money Stuff, here's a fun little bit from today's newsletter [1]:

> Every time you read about a workaholic billionaire and think “boy, not me, if I had a billion dollars I’d be on the beach,” the answer is always “well that’s why you don’t have a billion dollars.” If you have the characteristics that enable you to make a billion dollars, you don’t usually turn them off once you get there.

Ninja Ops | San Francisco | ONSITE | Part-time/Full-Time
DevOps Apprentice

I run a DevOps contracting firm in San Francisco
We have several senior DevOps engineers, but we are constantly being asked for more hours than we have available.
DevOps work that is in high demand both in silicon valley and elsewhere. We are seeking DevOps apprentices so we can train people to handle the challenging work available all around us. The program will begin with twice weekly training courses followed by supervised work experience, followed by more autonomous work. Training will be free of charge, work experience (when you're ready) will be paid.

We work with AWS, GCP, Terraform, CI/CD of all kinds, Security and Compliance, Automation, Monitoring, and Cost Controls. Kubernetes will feature in some upcoming work so I'll look to train people in that as well.

Ideal candidates will have a strong prior experience with technology. You're probably a good fit you are interested in DevOps and: already know a programming language, or work with raspberry pi projects and/or run a side project with cloud infrastructure. I've trained a iOS engineer, a sysadmin with a background in FinTech and several people who are just getting into tech.

The apprentice program is still under development so early participants will have the opportunity to have a say in what the program looks like.

This is onsite only.

> char buf[16]; sprintf(buf, "/proc/%d/mem", pid); int fd = open(buf, O_RDONLY

The code you're using to demonstrate the simplicity of char arrays has a buffer overflow vulnerability: what happens when the input int is large? You're proving my point.

In practice, dynamic resource allocation doesn't lead to rampant use after free bugs, especially if you follow regular and simple rules for ownership. It certainly results in fewer bugs and fewer severe bugs than cowboy char arrays code.
This is how the Web was originally designed, which is why we had Flash and Java applets. But it's hard to make those VMs secure, and yet somehow it's been easier to keep modern browsers reasonably secure as they keep adding features.

Germany is obsessed with keeping the value of the Euro low to maximize their exports. That's one of the reasons they've been pushing austerity after the economic crisis, as keeping countries like Greece, Portugal etc. in a rut depreciates the currency (the other reason is a weird sense that countries in debt have committed some moral failing and should be punished).

Their trade surplus has been a subject of intense criticism by economists and other EU states, but Germany calls the shots in the eurozone economy.

Indeed, I think it's two different frustration barriers. There's a high barrier to being frustrated enough to stop working on a difficult problem to improve a situation. There's a fairly low barrier to being frustrated enough with an existing solution to want to make that improvement.

> Imagine reading a comment about how 'interesting' it is that other countries have 'insight and self-awareness' while yours doesn't. It's not hard to see how that would land as a slight.

"You're in a propaganda machine" is one hop from "Wake up sheeple". That's a cliché of internet fulmination because it never works. Posting like this is pushing a button that generates angry responses. It's your responsibility not to push the button. (Not that that's always easy, since we usually do it inadvertently.)

But when it's true, we need to have the perspective to realize that, just like the other commentor from the USSR. Just because it pushes people's buttons doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about it - especially when it's true.

I'm originally from Australia, and yes, 100% without a doubt it is a propaganda machine. It does annoy me, and that's a good thing because it means I'm motivated to do something about changing it.

We can't simply not talk about things that might push people's buttons. Then we'd be just always talking about surface stuff, and never getting to the heart of anything, and - even worse - we'd never improve anything.

But sure, I'll stop. I'll stick to easy topics on HN. Sorry to use up your precious time again.
The analogy of tech salaries to returns on bonds only works, as other commentators have pointed out, when talking about programmers who have experience at a Big N company and are being recruited into well funded startups. In this case, it works because startups (corporate bonds) have to offer a higher compensation (interest rate), often times made up of equity, to offset the risk of joining a startup compared to Big N (government bonds). The uncertain outcome is the startup failing (company not meeting their expectations).

The reason why it doesn’t generalize to the entire tech industry is because not everybody has Big N experience while anyone can buy a government bond.

Central banks are creating inflation, problem is it's in all the wrong places - e.g. asset inflation - instead of a rising CPI. (There is a bit of a debate taking place in central banking circles at the moment about whether CPI is an adequately measure, and whether it should better reflect things like rent increases; FT's Alphaville blog has had a number of interesting articles on the topic over the past week).
Golang maps returns the value type's zero value in case the key doesn't exist: https://blog.golang.org/go-maps-in-action

Most of what is happening on that video appears to be a human controlling the vehicle, the overlay is just what the computer sees. In current public releases autopilot only warns you that it thinks you are going to run a red light / stop sign. And it is up for the human driver to actually stop. So, unless its on some beta release it was probably a human that rolled through it.
