Cargo (rust) considered it, using the vastly more information it has about whether signatures have changed than NPM, but rejected it because you can still make breaking changes without changing a function signature, so why claim to detect it if only a subset can be.

I can really live without updating my car. Last year I used an electric company car to drive home. Or at least that was the plan. After half of the way a warning light flashed up and the display told me to stop the car as soon as possible. That I did. It completely shut down after stopping. Nothing worked anymore besides warning lights, otherwise it was completely dead. Had to leave the car behind and walk home (short trip, I was just lazy because winter).

Next day in the morning I tried to start it up and it actually worked again. The display just shortly displayed 'update complete'. Made me laugh. I believe the error was related to the battery being low while it was really cold outside and the update notification was unrelated. But I guess you could call that "camping mode".

Still left me with an appreciation for my old car, which is too old and stupid to receive updates and is really dependable without me treating it that well.

This is a (currently) under-rated approach that would apply well to many sites today.
You can for example read from multiple files simultaneously.

You can also build web servers that read from disk as part of the request handling, without having to do blocking file reads. Before io_uring, this scenario would get absolutely horrible performance as the whole thread would lock down while waiting for the file read. Now you can do other things concurrently.

Not everyone is convinced ...
I bet ones view on this really depends on personal experiences both as an interviewee and an interviewer.

I work for a small start-up and recently went through hiring another developer to our team. I know how awful it is as a candidate to get little or no feedback of what is happening, so my goal was for our process to be more humane.

At first I answered all rejected submissions with a reason why that happened. There was rarely just one, but I would pick those were they clearly did not meet one of few inflexible requirements.

Because of a huge volume applications, vast majority of which poorly matching our requirements, that was almost all I was doing for the first few days, having difficulties finding time to move successful ones further, let alone do any other kind of work. I also quickly learned that many applicants see these feedbacks as an invitation to argue with often the only way to end it is by just not responding any longer.

So, I stopped doing this and resigned myself to sending generic rejection promptly unless I was asked for feedback explicitly. In my opinion candidates still quickly learn where they are at and have opportunity to learn more which is better than with most companies.

Few asked and I send feedback to all of them, but since I am not paid to persuade candidates that my decision is the right one for my company, these feedbacks admittedly were not as detailed as they would have been without that previous experience.

I am not happy with how the whole thing transpired, but I am comfortable with my decisions even though many here are telling "me" how I failed as a human being because I did not spend more of my off-clock time providing detailed feedback to people who mostly seemed to have keyword match our job ad and skipped reading it.
What I would like to know is what the software bug was. Unfortunately the article does not say it, and I am sure no information online exists about this.
Probably time to bring this up again: The internet is an SEO landfill. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20256764
Is there some kind of survey that shows how many hosts offer just these protocols?
Lawyers at companies have much bigger fish to fry like constantly reviewing sales and customer contracts in the high six figure ballpark not reviewing the risk of the feedback for every rejected candidate. For the latter their answer is always clear cut, "don't give any meaningful feedback to avoid ANY AND ALL risk of litigation, period".
Their job is to keep the company safe from any litigation risk, no matter how small, not to keep rejected candidates happy.

> ...it's always weird noticing the plane roll 45 degrees and still feeling bum firmly in seat.

Yes, that is a coordinated turn. It's one of the very first things you learn when you take flying lessons.

Airplanes aren't very good at flying sideways. You can make them do it to some degree, and it is an important technique for landing in a crosswind. But they are better at just climbing or descending - from the plane's point of view.

So the way you turn is to roll the plane in the direction of the turn and simultaneously start "climbing". Climbing straight "up" from the point of view of the airplane, not up according to the ground. The airplane doesn't know about the ground, it only knows about the air.

A coordinated turn is a combination of banking and climbing, such that you always feel like you're being pressed straight down into your seat. And the tighter the turn, the more you are pressed into the seat.

When you make a turn in a car on a flat road, you feel a normal 1G straight down and a force pushing you sideways. But if the road were perfectly banked for the speed you're going, you would feel like you were being pressed straight down in your seat. Instead of feeling a sideways force, that would be added to the downward force you feel inside the car - just like an airplane.
Rocket Lab is currently working on booster recovery. If they're successful, you can expect that cost to come down significantly. I also wonder if they can do a Kerbal approach and stick 3 of their rockets together to get more payload at a lower cost/kg.

Sure, if the only viable business model for Android is to underhandedly sell people as eyeballs for advertising, perhaps Android should not exist.

If Android weren't free, perhaps we would have more paid alternatives to Apple. The problem with free and open-source software seems to be that you can't have a vibrant market of alternatives, development tends to acrete around 1 or 2 successful projects, with perhaps some satellites sitting at much, much lower market share.

This wouldn't necessarily be problematic, but it becomes so when those core few popular solutions are controlled and monetized by a single huge corporation.

That's FUD and BSD bullshit.

LGPL is not GPL. You can link what the fuck you want to a LGPL library included your proprietary code as long as you link dynamically.

Gtk+ uses LGPL, GLib, uses LGPL, GNOME use LGPL, Qt uses LGPL, Cairo uses LGPL and millions of applications link into these ones without problems.

I'm not aware of any case in history where a company got attacked, or frightened to use a LGPL library in their codebase.

It would be good to stop the FUD excepted if you need to feed your lawyer.

The short and the simple (if somewhat controversial) answer is because the real world is complex and probability is a measure of subjective belief.

So without getting TOO philosophical, for cases which don't fall into relatively simple text-book examples (differences between coin tosses in two groups, random draws of cards, radioactive decay, well-defined distributions, that sort of thing...for which generally agreed upon settled best practice analytical solutions probably do exist), or which don't involve making some rather outrageous assumptions (lets assume away our non-survey error), you have in practice disagreements about what you're even experimenting over, what is held constant, what even are the significance of the results, what are the relevant distributions, what is the non-survey error, how to update your beliefs based upon the results, what are reasonable prior beliefs beforehand, real world restrictions on how you can design your experiment, etc.

It would be my contention that there's not a settled best practice because its inherently NOT settle-able. There is no objective answer to the reference class problem. There are multiple consistent hypothesis that can equally fit/explain data. Two reasonable rational minds can disagree over the implications of results. Options have trade-offs and there are differing levels of uncertainty over all things.

Of course, if I'm at work and I'm asked to design a sample, collection, or experiment, that's not what I say. I generally start at analytical solutions, and gradually step down into simulations and monte-carlo methods depending on how complex it gets. And i'll ask them what question they hope to answer, and what are the consequences of being right/wrong, and how much resources they have to expend in finding the answer and what are the restrictions on what they can do and what do they have to work with.

And people who ask me to design samples don't talk in languages of prior or subjective beliefs or refer to reference class problems or relevant distributions for a significance test or updating beliefs etc. Even though that's what I often know they're having problems with.

But this is hacker news, so maybe on here I can say: because the real world is really complex and a lot of it is inherently subjective.

(also, in the real world, a lot of people who ask for the a sample design REALLY don't like the amount of resources required for their 'officially' stated desired outcomes, so like a lot of real world practice and service delivery, best practice often becomes how to optimally deal with champagne tastes on a beer budget serving princes who ask for contradictory goals).
How does copyright work when you have no idea the photo even exists? Are these photos dynamically generated on the fly when a page is loaded? Because if so, then the visitor is the only person to have seen that particular photo, and there'd be no way for any copyright owner to even know they might hold the copyright over that particular photo.
Because to update the components of a container you need to recreate it from source image, assuming where you took the source image from will have been updated 10y later, and assuming someone will have both the knowledge and the right version of the tools to deploy your container.

Every company has its own template, but basically:

- the most important: prepare in advance! Summarize all what you have done during the year.

- if the template has graded items, think of a realistic grade, then add one, everywhere. Usually in my copy of the template I also answer some of the questions that were for my manager :) I do that completely naively. Sometimes your manager had no time time to prepare, so you are actually helping.

- during the interview be positive: you are fine, work is fine, ... prepare a few points where improvement is needed, but nothing really serious.

- usually your manager has limited freedom when it comes to your salary (contrary to HR), so do not annoy him with this. In my company I do not even talk about money with my manager. Keep your discontent for HR and your manager on your side.

With that method in my current company I got good raises.

The golden rule is: say positive things about yourself and your work. If you do not, nobody will.

Some of the backgrounds are surprisingly consistent, but some are distorted in ways that can only be done by a deep NN that sort-of knows what it's doing. The fact that the face is (almost always) still completely believable seems like good evidence against overfitting.
I'm not sure how OLAP relates to CockroachDB. The use case for CockroachDB is quite simple. You have millions of applications that runs Postgres. A large chuck of them have to process more and more data which a single master cannot handle and there is no easy way of scaling. Any option you pick does require a lot of changes to the codebase. This is were CockroachDB should come in handy. The dream is to have a drop-in replacement for Postgres that would scale, so all SELECT .. JOIN still works.
So basically it looks like an overblown attempt to steady itself?

I am very aware of these, and I like methods like CLRP. It's great to have these tools to debug neural networks.

However, for many that argue for explainable AI, CLRP falls way short of what they want. In particular, the symbolic AI crowd would scoff at it. This is the crux of the issue in my eyes, that the symbolic AI crowd has taken "explainability" as a way to justify methods that don't work.

I have no issue with methods that allow greater understanding of neural net internals, that's essentially what all neural net researchers spend all their time on (and it's the path towards better performing methods).

The pollution was deadly:

"An estimated 18 billion gallons of produced water has been diverted into some 880 unlined open pits, causing severe contamination of streams and rivers relied on by local inhabitants for their drinking water, bathing and fishing. Moreover, 650,000 barrels of crude oil have been spilled directly in the jungles and pathways.[14][15][19] The produced water contained polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at levels many times higher than permitted in the US, where produced water was typically re-injected underground since at least the 1970s.[14] Given the magnitude of the contamination and its lasting impact many environmentalists claim it is the worst oil-related disaster in the world, the amount of crude and toxic waste dumped by Texaco allegedly being 30 times the one spilled in the Exxon Valdez oil spill."
