It needs couple of major versions before it can reach production in express, standard, developer, enterprise and pro distributions.
If only the US had the infrastructure to do everything from mining the materials all the way up the chain to building custom PC’s, wouldn’t that be cool? If we could do everything “in house” so to speak?

But the kernel and/or the CPU you are running it on does.
Surveys like that don't work very well. The same people would probably also have been "fine" with their own office. Many people just want to get along, and enduring this and that is something that we learn all the way from childhood.
You are a worthwhile target at a minimum that your machines can be used as part of botnets and DOS networks.

Sure, they might not be digging out your bank account number, but since the cost to the attacker of compromising your machine might be nothing more than a few hundred packets, they'll try anyway.

Interesting, I hope the best for this new Basecamp's venture! I'm still using Basecamp :D
I live in the US and had to wait months and months for endoscopy, and even a referral to a gastroenterologist who could order an upper endoscopy. I was losing weight rapidly and in moderate pain for 90% of every day. It had nothing to do with what insurance I had. The only way around that was to pay cash... Regular appointment, 6 weeks plus a month for the GI. Cash? Scheduled within a week.
No, this doesn't work.
It may be too late for you to ever see this, but it seems there are in fact other sources of discrepancies in the counts:

There's also some dispute about whether satellite caucus rules are being interpreted correctly. (Currently, it's being interpreted in a way that's friendly to Sanders.)

What a complete mess.
In my experience, yes, but it depends on the company. Most tech leads I've interacted with (including myself) write some code from time to time.
Grothendieck left IHES in 1970, the second edition was after that. There was a lot of drama in the aftermath, essentially Grothendieck was not happy about how the more advanced material (SGA 4) he lectured on was kept private to the small group of students that attended the seminar and later reappeared in their publications without much acknowledgement. The eventual SGA 4.5 was a butchered version that only contained enough background to cover Deligne‘s proof.
I thought CPUs and GPUs throttled themselves to keep the thermals safe?
It wasn’t meant to evaluate. It was a lazy way to say that they are two different languages and only people who have no idea, recruiters, group them and treat them as one.
What tools do people like for generating tiles themselves?

I found one powerful one that I liked quite a bit, but it was primarily written for generating sea charts and never put labels on open polylines.
Having cycled in both the US and the UK, I think you both are right.

I have never seen a cyclist in the UK run a red light at a complex intersection (often only running the 'quiet' side of a T-junction, or an empty junction with a 20MPH speed limit and no cars in sight). Also worth noting is that the roads in UK cities are much narrower, I would guess 40-60, and often have less lanes and often have a bike lane of some sort.

In the US (California) I have seen all the crazy stuff. People running red through traffic, people doing a U-Turn, people going the wrong way, people crossing to go the wrong way, people blowing through a red light whilst on their phone.

However for cars, the UK has more stop lights that are for cars giving way to pedestrians, i.e. there is no junction. I have sometimes seen cars run a red on these when they don't notice/care. However in the US the red lights are at junctions, and are therefore more dangerous for cars (getting T-boned) I have however seen more people run these still.
Senior Engineers need more than just “8 years of experience”
It's also worth mentioning that a lot of people can learn C++ syntax (and even more C) and solve programming puzzles without any cheating but usually, especially in the context of embedded and/or real-time programming, "C/C++ engineer" means somebody who understands how the computer works and is able to make judgments about performance and correctness of the generated code.

So even a competent programmer, who might have spent last decade writing GUI in Qt, could be practically worthless for real-time embedded C/C++ while passing any whiteboard tests.
The most important thing to do is to be aware of yourself and not participate. To not judge others. The best way I have found to practice this is with mindfulness meditation.
> Why haven't X% of all "persons from country" relocated to "Country"?

We don't see high numbers (let's say, above 50%) even when the push is high enough and their movements are legal.

The majority of the Syrian population is still inside Syria as an example.
My biggest gripes with open-plan offices (aside from the usual productivity cost):

- Listening to coworkers' lengthy private calls.

- You can't talk in confidence with any of your coworkers, so the only talks you have, the only things you say, are what you are OK with everyone nearby hearing. It hurts possible relationships/bonding (probably a positive for management), but it also hurts professional growth.

- When we ask questions, we learn from each other and solve problems; we get things done. However, many are not that cool with asking what they think might be a stupid question (or one that reveals a lack of knowledge). With several people nearby listening in? Forget it!
Adapting Public Utility Regulation for Informational Infrastructure
In script form=a script that generates a list of tiles with localised terrain names, given a list of tag combinations as on the page you mentioned earlier. I probably have to look better around their repos. Both links you have given so far have already proven useful elsewhere. Maybe I just have to render a map with a bunch of squares and make them into tiles. Thanks anyway!
It's privately traded. Employees receive shares.
This mirrors my own experience. I was grinding a lot at home and storing it, but the next day it just felt flat. I'm one of those people that likes heavy aromatic Konas. Grinding for what you're making now is the way to go for sure.

No, he needed surgery to avoid being in excruciating pain and incapacitated for months.

If you look at it in terms of economic productivity, the inability of the doctors to schedule this properly was taking some useful out of the workforce and jeopardizing their continued employment and financial stability.

Depends on where you come from - it may not be a pure $$ angle alone. (for most places of origin, $$ also works out).

Status of living is higher for many folks who move to US in terms of ability to actually use the outdoors (less pollution, less population, a civic sense of cleanliness, better traffic and so on), less corruption, better police force, better government, better healthcare (not cheaper), better food (regulations) and so many more angles. Obviously not all of em apply to all countries, but there is a good mix. Not to mention US dollar goes much further in many countries.

There is a reason why US actually rejects 100s of 1000s of H1B applications every year.
How does the value of a private company affect the fund, if it is not being traded? Valuation at last round could be miles off.
Speculation: SpaceX maintains control by selling less than 50% of Starlink. This is essentially just asking the public if they would like to invest in the Starlink business with no change to operations.
There comes a point at which a book belongs more to its readers than to its author. EGA is well past that point. Try imagining the world we'd live in now if Euclid had managed to suppress all copies of his _Geometry_.
They're also a genuine hassle/pain for anyone who happens to be on the autistic spectrum, or who has trouble with social anxiety in general. As someone in that situation, open plan offices are basically a recipe for constant stress and sensory overload.

Either way, it's worrying given those in said situation are statistically likely to find it challenging to find employment as it is, and software engineering/web development/programming is an area which is seen as more suitable for them.

As for why it's so common? Well there are a few reasons given in other comments, but I suspect a major one is that managers/boss/CEOs tend to be more extraverted than average. So they end up going with office designs that they would have wanted to work in, not ones their employees would work better in.
Essentially I don't see why AMD wouldn't support some of the optimizations, but I could see why it wouldn't support ALL of them. That is noteworthy though, I missed that bit of the article.
Closures are completely unnecessary to start with yet I don’t see you bemoan their existence.

“Callability” not being restricted to functions (closures or not) can often be convenient, especially when that use is colloquial (eg closure where symbols and collections are callable), and obviate unnecessary boilerplate.
As for alternatives to paper towels, here's [0] a review of different studies about drying your hands. It's not clear that alternatives to paper towel hand drying are more effective from a health perspective. But obviously cost and environment are the biggest problems.

It seems most harmful microbes are between your nails on your fingertips and paper towels might be more effective with removing microbes on your fingertips, but there is still some controversy about if this even matters overall and which is more effective in removing them from other parts of your hands. Some are also concerned about air dryers blowing up airborne microbes, and I'm personally concerned with the super loud noises (also mentioned in the research below [0])!

Finally, I only see paper towels in every medical center or hospital I've been to.

> the MCAS system itself failed

The MCAS system didn't fail. It operated exactly as it was designed, it received faulty sensor data which in turn flew the plane into the ground.

> Bugs in software happen because situations where they arise are sometimes hard to predict.

Everything that cause MCAS to drive the plane into the ground was 100% predictable and testable.

There are two basic problems. The first, is that the people that thought MCAS was a good idea in the first place are incompetent. The second problem is the people that designed and implemented the MCAS system were even more incompetent.

Idiots managing idiots, and if I was the CEO of that company, that system would have never been allowed in the first place.

The software that went into the Space Shuttle was coded to CMM level 5; this is a level of Quality Assurance that would make even the most Iron Fisted, detail oriented QA begin to sweat at the pile of paperwork and pressure ahead of them.

It's a completely different experience that likely only a handful of modern testers would even contemplate nowadays, but has always been a shining example of something to aspire to be part of one day for me.

It isn't at all easy, and basically requires the discipline to understand, document, and justify every single line of code within the context of the overarching system.

No business wants to deal with it, and it is no surprise that only publically funded projects tend to get anywhere close.

Apple, Just Bundle News+ Already
I searched and only found something about a vulnerability in "HiSilicone" hardware mentioned yesterday.

That article mentions a pre-installed telnet server including accounts that can be started with the right command send over TCP. Whereas here, it's apparently a typical buffer overflow resulting in arbitrary (but BYOT (bring your own Telnet)) code execution.

Sure, maybe Cisco is just better at disguising their backdoors for plausible deniability. But with what's known, intent seems far more likely in yesterday's case than this.
Apple’s most recent earnings call seems to suggest they’re doing just fine expanding into wearable accessories and monthly subscriptions as well.

Seems like half of NYC has airpods when I’m walking around and in most of the stores here they won’t be in stock until March (a jump from mid February a couple of weeks ago).

That could be supply chain disruption or they’re selling like hot cakes.

Very satisfied with my pro pod pair post purchase as well.
Sure there are exploits, but security isn't binary. Something isn't "truly secure" or "insecure". It's all a matter of how difficult the attack is to pull off, or how expensive the exploit is to purchase.

Security is economic. There's a cost/benefit to attack, and to defend.

A good way to measure how secure we actually are is to observe the rate of cryptocurrency theft. How many people do you know with crypto? How many people do you know who have had their computers hacked and crypto stolen? That's how secure you are.
Its hard to turn on the water to rinse without touching the faucet (with your hand).
Round robin can work but you probably also need some weighting, it might be worth investing extra effort in one person if the stars align but still keep in contact with others until the deal is sealed.
They really lost me as a developer in the ObjC->swift change. I was trying to learn stuff and hopefully deliver as a side project, but that language change was too much in addition to the day job.
> However, the best way to dry hands remains unclear because few studies about hand drying exist, and the results of these studies conflict.

One of the most striking aspects of this is how much we don't know about hand-washing and hand-drying. It seems like a topic worth studying until the studies stop conflicting.
The downvotes are flowing freely nowadays on HN. I think the downvote threshold could use a massive increase -_-

Starlink has a lot of business potential
I don't know if I would say I'm a narcissist, but I have realized that I'm very prone to interrupting people mid-conversation, because it's just what my family does. When I'm with them (or other interrupters), it's totally normal and not rude at all to interject when you have something to say and someone takes a breath, but obviously it's problematic elsewhere. Doubly so when I'm dealing with someone from the South or Midwest who tends to speak more slowly with pauses.

I don't have any brilliant thoughts, I just focus very hard on not interrupting. If I'm on a call, I'll jot down the things I want to say, which helps, but in real life it's just constantly reminding myself that just because someone is taking a breath doesn't mean I should start going.
This is the worst thing about Java. Almost all other languages have some way to deal with bad libraries or missing features in those libraries. Java has nothing of this sort and it gives library provides all kinds of tools to fuck you over.
I think so.

Starlink is capital-intensive and untested as a business proposition. This keeps the risk walled off from SpaceX and lets them raise without diluting ownership of SpaceX. (It also means guaranteed profit for SpaceX from the pockets of new investors.)

Not sure why they'd go public instead of raising the capital privately, though.
Refugees account for about 10% of immigration to the US.
I see you removed your post. If you'd like me to delete mine I will. Just let me know.
As Tesla is highly valued, this looks like a great timing to go public and just raise cash for Starlink, and also for SpaceX investors.

Also it seems like the main reason Elon doesn't want SpaceX to go public is because he's afraid that short term looking investors would take control from him and vote the mission of colonizing Mars down.
I've never understood why people think this is somehow less secure than downloading a binary blob you can't inspect and running that instead.
That's interesting. Toyota would be one of the last companies I'd expect to hear that about. They're notorious in Quality circles for taking Quality seriously; at least as far as their production line is concerned. Do they not apply that same philosophy to in house software?
Second to last point:

> While some recommendations include using a paper towel to turn off the faucet after hands have been rinsed, this practice leads to increased use of water and paper towels, and there are no studies to show that it improves health.
The snark is warranted if you call yourself (generic yourself, not you in particular) a software "engineer" - but yeah, if your ego's content with "developer" then the snark's not warranted.
Didn't mean to suggest that it should be zero— only that new leads feel like they are falling behind when they're actually doing normal leadership tasks, because it's not coding, and coding is what feels like work to them; or that their instinct for dealing with increased workload is to code more (instead of organizing more). Those are bad instincts, hence they need to readjust their definition of "what feels like work".
Autonomous vehicle tech completes 230-mile self-navigated journey in UK

In Germany a book about narcissism[1] rose to popularity after there has been a documentary[2] on national television in which the books author was featured prominently. I cannot comment on the book because I haven't read it but the documentary was interesting[2]. Unfortunately it seems to be available in German only.

One funny thing for me was that the author runs a self-help group for narcissists. On Facebook. I thought this must be as if the anonymous alcoholics would meet at the local pub.

Actually there are two types of software failures: design failures and implementation failures. Design failures are harder, but we already have ways of completely avoiding implementation failures, with systems that prove mathematically that the software implements the design. NASA for example uses those in many occasions. Boeing doesn't, obviously, and there's no valid excuse.
In the comments section of that link, I found interesting this thread that touches what I am suggesting: https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2018/10/19/lets-tal...

Which ends up with one of the parties writing this: https://palant.de/2018/10/25/should-your-next-web-based-logi...

The blog in the last link argues against the usefulness with the built-in browser implementation.

The arguments are pretty useful, even though I disagree with he's conclusions. I think the fact that if a compromised server has to revert from the secure browser-built-in password form, to a "regular login form" in order to learn your password, then that's a win for me
except with CISCO "backdoor" has 2 meanings:

1) CISCO's well documented efforts to intentinally put them into place in the canonical sense of the word (for LI): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22251965

2) it is a well-known feature that is used to change the administrative distance of eBGP in order for an interior gateway routing protocol (IGP) to take precedence over an eBGP route. https://community.cisco.com/t5/networking-documents/what-is-...
Ok, we've added 8k to the lower bound in the title above. Thanks!
You're right I got carried away there. The up/down vote system amuses me a bit too much sometimes. I'll file this one away to remember in the future.
Thanks. I guess depending on the faucet you could use your elbow.
Right. And like I said, I assume they've measured it. I wonder what the risk difference is and what the nature of the ultimate failures are?
It's hard work because then you'll have to explain and document the hiring proceedings, then sanitize it before sending out, with content that's actually actionable by the interviewee. What we put in internal candidate notes is very different than what should be sent out, and someone has to do that translation.

There's also plenty of reasons a candidate didn't get hired that not really immediately correctable or not even their fault. For the latter, we do provide feedback/explanations and try to keep in touch in hopes they apply again in a couple of years. But 80% of the time we really just don't want to see the candidate again. I'd say 10% of the time, we see the candidate again, but so far, even on reappearance years later, they get the same feedback from completely different interviewing committees.

He seems to have edited his comment because the part you’re replying to isn’t there any more, but you’re correct, open offices don’t improve communication and they can’t meaningfully improve communication. If you happen to need to “communicate” with any of the maximum four people you’re physically adjacent to, then yes, you can start a conversation without having to get up from your chair. Otherwise, you have to get up and walk across the room to where the other person is (or just IM them): exactly the same as with cubicles.
Directly opening about:reader?url=<...> in Firefox works as well by the way.
A non-trivial portion of the hype around Tesla comes from shareholders. I've been hearing more and more people lament that they missed the boat now that the stock hit 700+. It seems like a genius idea to offer a new investment opportunity to the public. This should help generate hype for the Starlink network, which will live or die based upon its adoption rate.
