Learned the hard way that lie is mandatory for some questions.

For example: many companies insist on asking how you did "x" (for example solves a conflict of idea of solution) in situation "y" (for example between two teams in same department) and you are obliged to answer something, even if you never been in that situation (a certain multinational company for example asked me that question three times across two different attempts to join them, both of times I failed because this question, I never worked in a company with many departments).

After a lot of Glassdoor reading found out people that got the jobs I wanted, all lied outright, not just embellishments, but outright inventing things that sound plausible.
One particular annoyance of OrderedDict objects was initialising them with literals. You couldn't just do:

od = OrderedDict({
"y": "first",
"x": "second",
})

because, by the time the data got to OrderedDict's constructor, it had already been through a dict. Instead you had to supply a list of lists (or tuple of tuples etc.):

od = OrderedDict([
("y", "first"),
("x", "second"),
])

For hierarchically nested dictionaries, these are quite a bit harder to read.
I was mostly responding to this line “ It's hard to take pride and ownership in your work when 90% of everything has been decided for you,” Which in my kind is just a weird thing to say and seemed to imply a general statement.

A lot of comments state angular is inflexible and opinionated, but come from people who haven’t used the framework. They think your forced to do a lot of things where angular gives you choice.

I haven’t done much react development, but my significant other has and multiple members of my team have as well, and I’ve heard them discuss how when you need to find a package to pull in it’s a decision that involves searching and weighing the pros and cons much more then for angular.

I don’t hate react at all and totally understand its pros and how I think it’s a net positive on the web development landscape. It’s more that this site is extremely react focused and biased, and the US dev community is also that way. So angular gets called out as being something stupid to use that’s cumbersome, slow and big, but that’s just simply not the case. Example of angular app being smaller and faster then comparable react: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/a-real-world-comparison-of.... I know these comparisons are silly so I’m not putting much thought into it, just one anecdote.

Both are great libraries/frameworks with great ecosystem of developers, we all need to stop flaming each other and see the progress each community is making. It’s not a winner take all type deal, there’s plenty of room for both.
They have an agreement with most of their customers to skip real courts and go to a private court that they pick.
statx exist as opcode, so stat through the ring is a solved problem. Directory operations are not implemented yet, but I'd be surprised if they don't arrive, sooner than later.
I also don't know the real statistics, but I don't think it's fair to assume the used car will last the same as a new car.

If new cars cost $30k and last 10 years, and used cars cost $15k and last 5 years, you break even.

Alternately if you always trade-in your car after 5 years to buy a new car, you'll end up paying a lot less than $30k each time.
Having attended a high school with a poor math program, I had a similar struggle with math in university. My understanding would catch up maybe too late for a grade, but I kept progressing. Seven years into my career I got a job working for an extremely gifted scientist/manager who gave me several projects that required me to learn math a couple levels above my education. Because the problems were interesting and the results really mattered, I had sufficient motivation to overcome the frustration of learning things that didn't come naturally. I found a way into a company that needed good programmers that grew more mathematical over time, and I was lucky enough to have a highly motivating and supported learning environment.
I've had a manager take credit for my work, gaslight, and fire me when he was getting in trouble for underpreforming. I had no relationship with his bosses; I kept my nose down and did my work. I documented the craziness, but it happened so fast I could not defend myself. I learned to toot my horn some too. But really I should have left that department/company sooner. Yrmv.
I don't think a good manager will take full credit for underlings work.

What happens if someone tries to fix the car and hurts themselves and now tesla enabled that behavior. Safety first.
I'd love to know more about where an ordered dict comes in handy. Anyone have use cases? Otherwise, guaranteeing this behavior just seems ‾\_(ツ)_/‾

If this is useful, I wonder if an ordered set is useful.
That use of "bubble" is a pejorative, so the comment contained zero information, which means it teaches us nothing.
Uber’s plan to turn billion-dollar losses into profits isn’t crazy
Did your manager mention you at all when presenting this? That's kind of a no-go in my opinion.
Apple implemented this to help users extend life of older devices.

Apple should just have phones in France run full clock at all times to comply with this regulation. These types of things don't recognize that phone design is a CONSTANT power management / speed tradeoff. If you demand things run 100% speed at all times - poof - your batter life is gone.
Some people are greedy, but most aren’t. Capitalism requires everyone to prioritize greedy behavior.
Also, at least macOS provides a consistent resolution for windows, texts, etc. On Windows (after Win 8), many times old applications run with __blurred__ texts and icons while the new shiny Win apps have no such problem. It's actually one of the reasons I don't use Windows anymore, although it's been making good progress.
Now they need to fix their recommendations.

If I watched 2 episodes and marked show thumbs down I DO NOT WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN!

Instead my continue to watch is a list of shows i didn't like!

How hard is to figure it out, or at least give me an option to black mark a show. Anything really. They spend millions on show and then package then is such user unfriendly manner .
A single wooden panel won't do much to help you in that situation regardless. It's a great reflector and wouldn't absorb much of the noise, especially of the sides are wide open.

Most people, especially someone just recording dev screencasts or video conferencing don't at all need a $300-350 preamp. It just seems like so much overkill. You could get perfectly usable noise reduction baked into Audacity, or with $50 plugin if the noise is existing.

FWIW, I record (music) with a laptop on my desk, sometimes multi channel simultaneously and with the right mics[1] and sufficient ambient noise reduction I've never had an issue with fan hiss or hum.

I don't think this statement is true:

> Good running shoes are not vought from any of these brands

The Nike Vaporfly has made numerous headlines[0] for "technology doping" because runners are using it to win marathons. From the recent NYC marathon, Nike and Adidas dominated in comparison to other shoe brands[1]:

> Of the total 36 podium finishers, 25 were wearing Nike shoes

> Of the 12 winners, 8 were wearing Nike shoes

> Adidas comes second with 6 podium finishers and 2 winners

> Other brands are Brooks (2 podiums), Asics, Saucony and New Balance (1 podium each)

This was surprisingly addictive. I have no background in the kind of theoretical CS it's using, but still managed to pick up on a few patterns and see how you could progress with a more thorough understanding.
I’m wondering if the new Brave browser’s Tor-based private mode makes a difference.

Many companies have systems circumventing https via additional certificates—effectively a man in the middle attack.
Cheaper than not slowing down phones with unstable batteries and corroded circuits that explode in users' pockets.
> I think if you scored top 95th at a National exam in high school you would be competitive to choose the university you want.

Maybe at a small country (like Germany?) that doesn't have near-100% high school / exam attendance. In the US where 2 million take the SAT and there are less than 100,000 seats at the "top tier" universities, 99%ile is closer to the bar for choosing the university what you want.

Of course if you calibrate your 'want' wisely, then anyone at any percentile can choose the university they want.

> Comparing a physical space to a digital one is absurd.

I agree, it's an absurd idea because we tend to think of digital life and physical life as totally separate legal realms. I think over the next 10 years as digital and physical life become even more intertwined, this will start to change.

> Regulation will be used suppress speech and to further serve their paying customers: advertisers, politicians, special interest groups, corporations.

I also agree. But you have to balance that with the public benefit of moderated platforms vs unmoderated platform. It's a really tricky balance to get right, which is why I think a lot of people don't like the idea of more regulation.

It's a tricky problem. There might be a better solution. But I don't think the solution is to keep things working the way they are.
> Python is not at all suitable today for parallelism.

As a long time Python dev, including work on parallel applications, I have to agree. It's always annoying in Python, and entirely Un-Pythonic.

The SM58’s best feature is it’s ubiquity (so you know exactly what you’re in for) and how rugged and dependable it is. That’s why they’re everywhere in stage sound IMHO. I don’t really like the sound though. For me it’s lacking in high end. A decent condenser mic (like the 87A for example) will do much better in this regard. Such mics need phantom power but most audio interfaces provide that.
Salesforce is a very good path. I did it for a year, did a pm role and a product manager role. Ot was great. Loved the platform. The customer/clients were really into it, and the result ended great in both instances. Of course the platform and ecosystem is not perfect, but it was absolutely not bad. Highly recommended. Get an administrator cert course on Udemy for USD15. Get the administrator cert from Salesforce for USD100, and then profit.

It would silently introduce bugs, that's the whole issue.
IDEs are not going away. The next generation programming languages will have to be IDE-first. The syntax would have to be designed specifically to be amenable to autocompletion by ML language models.

One day code will not even be authored in a text format. It will be a binary format that is manipulated by some kind of visual graph editor. Who knows what it will look like. With brain-computer interfaces you may not even be typing or using your hands anymore.

Don't get married to plain text.

> HN readers are for the most part highly paid tech workers

That's a false assumption. HN is much larger than you think, with people all over the US and all over the world. It has highly paid workers, lowly paid workers, people who don't need to work, and people who need to but can't find any.

We tend to make assumptions like "for the most part" based on the internal image when our pre-existing conditions meet a handful of striking data points—say the first 3 or so. And then we don't change it. But which data points happen to strike us are actually a function of our pre-existing conditions also. There are many other data points.
This is one of the main reasons I won't buy a Tesla. They can just turn off things you paid for at will.

The other is they won't open up their parts for people to work on their own cars. That's one of the main reasons used Teslas are so expensive. I mean even salvaged Teslas are really expensive.
The chart is messed up... Bonus mess points for choosing 1 instead of 0 as the starting poing on the vertical axis.

My best guess to understand it is:

- On the horizontal axis, we have consecutive Chrome releases.

- On the vertical axis, we have total time of benchmark execution, relatively to Chrome 75

The source of the data is the "js-framework-benchmark"[0] run in a controlled environment in Chrome[1]

Height could be correlated with "thriving" from infancy through childhood.

Also, I have tall children and they are regularly treated as older than they are, setting expectations higher for them in settings outside of school where they aren't grouped by age.
wow, a few years ago i was working in java world, and using intellij on a daily basis. any time i used a 4k monitor, i simply could not type anything or scroll through code without insane delay. i googled it and found a ton of people having the same issue. i could only sanely use intellij if i upscaled my resolution to its highest. is this all interconnected?
Any suggestions? Brave comes to mind but it seems to have some controversy around it.
Once my ass was saved by my Korean immigrant optical coating technician, who fixed an electron beam power supply loaded with MSI IC’s using a multimeter, after the manafacturer couldn’t. (He put two kids through college, owns a dry cleaner shop with packed racks now, and drives a Mercedes.) I initially got him cheap because he could barely speak English.

I wonder what percentile he was?
Subinterpreters share a common GIL. Also subinterpreters don't share Python objects, which means among other things that all modules are imported separately in each SI, which increases startup time, memory usage and reduce cache effectiveness.

It's a band-aid. If you want to run Python code in parallel, without large overhead, then CPython is simply not your environment to do so, and Python is not a good choice overall in that kind of endeavour.
Even that is a little harsh. Board shorts work just fine in the pool or hot tub or anywhere else you might go swimming. They're comfortable and fast drying and come in all kinds of colors and designs. Just because they were initially created for one purpose and people have realized they have a wider use, I don't see why that makes you a poser if you wear them.

It just seems like a perfectly normal way that clothing trends evolve. Are you a poser if you wear Northface or Patagonia gear in the city, since it's made for roughing it in the outdoors?
perhaps it's just relative to their operations/sales in France? they might have 1 billion euros in revenue, but if profits are, say, 300 million euros for France, a 25 million euro fine isn't... trivial. But... this is just supposition.
You can actually go totally syscall free with io_uring, but that requires privileged mode as the setup call to enable the SQPOLL flag will fail otherwise. But yeah, I suppose most people don't like running things as sudo.
In a nutshell, yes. But deliberate is not enough. You also need to be able to honestly reflect on yourself. Many people are unable to honestly reflect on themselves. They are fooling themselves and made it part of their being so much that they are incapable of being honest.

For example, a person that habitually blames everybody for their failings may undertake a project to write a blog post every day but may be incapable of hearing advice, critical opinions or diagnosing reasons behind non-existing or stagnating readership statistics. They might blame everybody of being stupid or have no taste or not knowing anything about writing.
Netflix is all-in on comedy, esp standup.

But I have the same problem with the music services -- I listen to a lot of "quiet" music playlists for sleep and work. And so, all the playlists Spotify build for me are quiet. But I also follow and listen to a lot of rock/noise/loud music. But the "made for you" formulas won't budge.

I jokingly believe I need two services -- one where I listen to ambient/quiet/etc, and another where I never listen to it.

But the probability is I'll stop caring about music services and live without them. I don't need to curate my relationship with services like they're tomagachi's. I pay for Youtube Premium, but when I subscribe to a certain number of music artists, it chokes my video subscription feeds.

Moving to willfully not caring for content, music and videos alike.
Python has never tried to maintain backwards compatibility within a major release
I spent an hour yesterday with two different websites trying to place an order on Firefox (to name and shame, CVS and shutterfly). I eventually gave up and used Chrome to place an order, but sent a note telling CVS that they lost my business because their website is broken on Firefox.

Please, more people switch to Firefox. Chrome is breaking the internet.
It's still much faster than any Core 2. It's faster than 2 cores of Sandy Bridge on my older 2950x, so I'd expect 39z0x to be even faster, probably beating older Skylake.
Oh, I'm preety sure that Clear is unsuitable for most Linux users, thermald included or not, for many reasons. Specifically regarding thermald, I believe most people want their fans to kick early on low RPM and wait for the CPU to heat up and then max the fans out. The reason I believe so is that the whole industry have invested and still investing huge amount of money and complexity in making that possible and that is the default behavior of all hardware. Almost. There is right now top post regarding 2019's macbooks not behaving that way and the frustration it cause users.

It's not that I think that Clear is a stupid unnecessary project or anything like that, it is actually quite interesting experimental work. But it an experimental project and most people doesn't want something that avant-garde as their daily driver.

IIRC, the lemon law only applies to new cars, not used. In this case, it wouldn't help.
It’s definitely a multifaceted issue, especially because Apple’s communication was so poor.

Though it’s not like companies are in the habit of communicating their CPU scheduling strategy to their customers. The customers don’t care nor can the comprehend that information.

It still boggles my mind how many people I know refuse to get batteries replaced. The price is totally reasonable from all manufacturers, way more so than plunking down another $700 on a phone. They just want a new phone at that point because who doesn’t like new things? In a lot of ways Apple was responding to customer behavior - customers allow their phones to limp along with cracked screens and dead batteries and Apple was essentially helping them do so for as long as possible without disruptions, but it also looks like planned obsolescence.

A lot of the people who essentially say that a random shutdown due to lack of supplied voltage is preferable to throttling are flat out wrong.

It’s OK if there is no overlap but in practice that doesn’t really happen. When North Face switched to being a fashion brand it dragged other, previously genuine, manufacturers with it, because they couldn’t leave the money on the table. Basically, hipsters ruin everything.

> Uber says Eats lost $461 million in Q4 2019. That's a remarkable figure because Uber's Eats revenue (excluding money that went straight to restaurants or drivers) was only $734 million. In other words, Uber lost more than 60 cents on every dollar of Eats revenue it took in.

Those are some terrible margins. Can this be turned around simply by economies of scale (more orders from the same neighborhood, all delivered at once)? Or is this something that can't be profitable until there are self-driving delivery vehicles?
Imagine if ford started to detune your engine as you added miles to the car, but DIDNT TELL YOU. You lost X horsepower every 1,000 miles.
Brave is Chromium with a different settings page.
The only controversy around Brave is around Eich and his own personal beliefs. But honestly, if you can get past that, the team backing it is one of the strongest and most pro-user browser teams today. I'm particularly biased in favor of their security engineering.

That said, I still prefer Firefox because Firefox isn't Blink.

Cool, but, this just encourages people to rely on hashmaps being ordered by insertion. The nature of a hashmap is not one where you rely on the ordering. This is going to trip up newbies who then move to other languages.

Some comments on the post don't seem to understand the changes, for example, the C++ comment saying that std::map is ordered, so this isn't a strange change. The difference is that std::map is a red-black tree implementation, which has a traversal order, not a hashmap with insertion order. So there is already confusion.
