See if the maintainer is willing to accept email patches. You can clone the repo from the github link, make changes, and generate a patch which you can send to a maintainer.

Unfortunately it's a bit tough to avoid github, it's like the facebook of programmers. I don't see any particular reason why it's bad though? If anything, it might improve with microsoft now owning it.
The current Nozomi Shinkansen is about $130 each way from Osaka to Tokyo. Not out of reach for a few meetings per month, but a big stretch for a daily salaryman commute. I haven’t seen any pricing for the Linear yet.

Sadly, this article is paywalled for me.
But is that a US gallon (3.79L) or an Imperial Gallon (4.55L)?
But what is the seriousness of these issues?

We're inundated with articles pointing out small unimportant changes and unquantified waffle about serious future changes. But never any actual predictions of global disaster. What's the expected cost in money or lives? Nobody has a clue beyond "catastrophe", whatever that means. I saw one estimate for the economic cost to Canada but it was so low that the citizens could actually just pay it as an additional tax and carry on with life hardly affected at all. Alarmists were actually critical of that data being published because they were afraid it might support people's belief that it's not very serious. Maybe because it's not?

So if you're going to say global warming is serious, can you also quantify what you mean? Otherwise you're only conveying your personal subjective feeling.
Do you mean the XPS 13? I've never seen an XPS 15 in recent years without an NVIDIA card. The cheapest XPS 15 from 2019 that I can find still comes with the mobile NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, as does my own XPS 15 9560 from 2017.
His main example is video game playing, which is something many people do at an extremely casual level because engaging in it is so easy (turning on your computer). Reaching the 95th percentile in activities where just showing up requires a level of effort (team-sports, rock climbing, etc) is way more difficult, as people who just want to be entertained for 30 minutes are not present.

I have a T495. I highly recommend it. Be warned, the keyboard is a chiclet keyboard, not the traditional Thinkpad keyboard. But having an AMD GPU and an AMD CPU automatically makes this my choice after having dealt with the horrors of NVIDIA on Linux.

Youtube created a world where distribution matters more than content because section 230 interpretations allowed them to steal content for a while. And now they pay for it, but that's a new development after years of piracy that drove down the price.

The viacom lawsuit has emails from senior youtube execs saying that stolen music content drove most of their traffic
Agreed. The only limits should be for safety purposes. Allowing improvement is important, because the technology trickles down from elite athletes to ordinary runners and pedestrians. The faster the shoes, the more likely they are to use them, with great health and environmental benefits.

I'd hate to see running tech crippled by regulation like the UCI did to cycling.
My anecdotal observation is that Google is currently experiencing a (slight) brain drain... Many highly qualified and experienced engineers have recently left. I wonder how many 1x engineers it is going to take to maintain all that software when the 100x and 10x engineers are gone. Not a simple math problem.

I was laid off from a big tech co with standard severance. I will now lose a million dollars in unvested stock. This was supposed to be my lifeline.

> The solution to climate change is not to make energy producers like oil and gas companies go out of business.

They're going to go out of business in several decades because there won't be any more oil and gas to extract (or rather, there will be a lot less and it'll be difficult and expensive to extract).

> The way these companies became so successful was by providing something of value at a low cost.

The cost is not low if you consider the decades of suffering by people in the middle east and other oil-producing countries due to oppressive regimes put in place so that oil and gas could be extracted at "low cost".

But even regardless of that - so what?

> Do you really want to pay substantially more for heating/cool, gas, and almost every good?

1. If the alternative is even worse climate change, meters of sea level rise, destruction of huge natural habitats etc. then - yes.
2. If you account for the costs of climate change, it's not more expensive to use renewable energy. And there's the cost and detrimental effects of immediate environmental pollution...
3. Renewable energy is no longer that expensive, and it's getting cheaper. In fact, it's become quite competitive:

> The government can impose a cost ... it can incentivize...

Yeah, well, maybe those were relevant solutions 40 or 30 years ago. The time is up for that kind of stuff. Far-reaching action is required immediately, since we are on overtime w.r.t. climate effects, and markets be damned.

No, it's to fight for what they want (or perhaps think they are entitled to) to control.

“Property” is simply what the government says you are entitled to control.
Whataboutism is one of the most ridiculous accusations thrown around willy-nilly these days. Sure, if you have no idea what happens in the world, you can arbitrarily find anything outrageous.

Great stuff. How do you monetize EasyLang?
Both climate change and UX critiques happen in-depth every day on HN there is no shortage of either.
I think that's reasonable. I really wish they offered more applicable classes at lower levels of education... I did like 2 days of programmable Legos in 5th(?) grade and then had to take a basic typing / MS Office course in 9th grade (required like you). In 11th grade I took CISCO Networking, Computer Manufacturing, and an intro programming course in C++.

After high school, I did a 4 year degree in Computer Science and while I learned a lot about algorithms, proofs, FSMs, design-patterns, etc. We got very little practical experience building software.

It'd be nice if they covered version control, more *nix and text editors, extending an existing codebase, refactoring, debugging, APIs, common libraries, multiple languages, and the web in general.

I think most CS students learn to become software engineers either on the job or on their own and there's room for school to help ease that transition.
She's not wrong, but I suspect that most of this is conventional wisdom among political insiders. They will publicly dissemble of course, but everyone knows that the party out of power generally gains seats in an off-year election. Etc.

That said, people do change parties. It would be interesting to have a deep study of the reasons why. (I have my theories...)

The combination of hydrogen production and desalination using simple techniques are an exciting prospect for this decade.

For architects of 21st century cities, most of these sustainable technologies would benefit from a cleanslate design, rather than trying to compete with builtup 20th century infrastructure.

I think Austrailia is postured to be the biggest beneficiary of all of these "leaps" in technology this century. Most of the desert area is the perfect canvas to start building indoor cities that will be the models/prototypes for the spacestations that the next generation will use to explore urban life outside of our atmosphere. Even building a cruise ship on land would be a good starting point for a 21st century city if they could support several thousand residents with enough freshwater for self-sustaining agriculture and energy to take root.

Even though we won't have saltwater in space, most of these advancements in sustainables fit the roadmap to space more than they're currently reported. Hopefully they'll break ground on new cities using these new resources sometime soon and change the narrative appropriately.
Headphones play a big role here.

If I plug in my budget earbuds I can't notice anything but with my studio headphones (which I normally use for everything) it's super distracting.
Two-year-old ThinkPads (the real ones like the T and X series) are great deals. I did buy my T480 new (I wanted features like the best screen that are hard to find used), but my wife and mom are both using T470 units that we bought off of eBay. My mom's unit turned out to have a charging issue, but we discovered that it was still under a three-year extended warranty, which is tied to the machine rather than the purchaser; Lenovo replaced the motherboard on it with little fuss.
Years and years ago before YouTube let everyone upload videos above ten minutes, I uploaded an episode of a cartoon and it was put on hold for being too long. I didn't do anything after that, though. I just left it alone and it stayed in that state on my account ever since.

Until last month, anyway. I decided to click the "reprocess" button just to see what would happen. To my surprise, it did it, and then my account was immediately hit with a copyright strike. It really seems weird to me that it didn't "count" until it was successfully processed. Surely YouTube could have detected it at pretty much any other time, but they didn't.

Just a weird YouTube copyright anecdote I wanted to share.
Christ. Of all the litany of legitimate charges against the 36 billion dollar shoe company Nike, this feels absolutely comical. We basically slept through 35 years of sweatshops and child labor --and the Paradise papers tax evasion scandal-- to hand Nike free advertisement for their shoes that are too fast.

This is not a scandal, its cheap advertising.
> If you believe these are fields of potential massive growth, then why you don't develop them in situ?

Because they have a list of three problems, not of three solutions?
They way I understand it is this

1. Original Owner bought the feature

2. Original Owner traded in the car to Tesla

3. The used car dealer bought the used car @ auction from Tesla but did not "rebuy" the feature

4. Tesla screwed up by not "disabling" the feature before attempting to double-dip and recharge the dealer for something the original owner bought

5. a few days after the sale tesla did an audit and found they did not get their double-dip extortion fee and disabled the feature

6. the dealer sold the car thinking it was just a glitch

7. new owner not happy
Strava tells me "experts recommend" replacing shoes at 300-500 miles. I've got about 6 pair of the same running shoes that I rotate through. I can definitely say the cushioning wears down at some point, but haven't retired enough shoes to say for sure when. Over 500 miles for me, typically, though sometimes I notice a pair I haven't worn in awhile bugs me, then forget about it. Then they turn into gym shoes, or carwash shoes, or...
> Buses don't do well on suburban roads, they can't make the corners and clearance isn't always there.

Shuttle buses (24-28 occupants) do quite well on twisty suburban roads. Those same roads often have curbside parking, and delimiting a 30-foot stretch of road as a bus stop is not going to seriously hamper that.
It was on the Monroney label so it's part of the car. How bad Tesla is at keeping track of what is paid for or not is irrelevant.
You didn't miss anything. These people were fired for independent troublemaking. The fact that they were LGBTQ is a confounding variable that correlates with / causes activist tendencies.
Claiming it should be a "normal distribution" (aka a bell curve) is a major assumption based on there is a "correct" temperature that remains fixed over time.

To the best of my knowledge, few places have tracked temperature longer than the last 150 years and beyond that we have estimates and calculations that have variances/tolerances built in. Is 150 data points for a given location enough to KNOW both the "correct temperature" and that it does/doesn't move?
So the only possible explanation of the cause of the Waterworld apocalypse is earth being hit by millions of giant ice meteors.

Your labor is your only real political power.
Having helped out with tech interviewing and recruiting for a few UK companies, the entrenched attitude seems to be that the variables you alter to find talent are how you search and advertise, not what salary you offer. Indeed, many job postings don't even specify a salary.

It might sound crazy, but if a company is struggling to fill a position, offering a higher salary just never seems to enter the conversation. Instead you'll talk about working with a different recruitment firm, reformulating the job advert, trying to tap existing staff through a referral scheme, etc.

The only time I've seen salary seriously in the mix is when companies are going after a known individual who can make demands based on proven exceptional talent, or when looking for candidates with extremely niche skills.
In that situation, Matlab allocates an array of length 3, fills it with “empty” values (depending on the type), and then sets the third element to the value. That’s what I’d have expected to happen here too...
What are fields where we understand the engineering well but not the science?
> But that's the thing. The Triton is just a pre-amp, the Scarlett also has its own pre-amp, but maybe it's not strong enough to drive the Shure mic (it's strong enough for most other mics).

An awkward reality is that while prosumer preamps like those in the Scarlett are very nice for what they are, you often find yourself needing more clean gain than they comfortably provide. The Scarlett Solo’s gain range is listed as 56dB, and while that seems like a lot, and it seems like it should be good enough, for voice applications at normal speaking volumes and with typical microphones, you want more gain. From what I understand, this is more or less the amount of gain you can get in a single gain stage without introducing tons of dirt.

I personally have a Scarlett and a small assortment of mics, including dynamics, small and large diaphragm condensers, and ribbon mics. It’s only for louder sources like drums and guitar amps that I feel comfortable plugging straight into the Scarlett. For everything else, I plug into an outboard preamp.

While the DBX is nice, everything but gain can be done in software later on. I’d go ahead and recommend the DBX to most people because it solves the problem “once and for all” rather than forcing you to configure every different piece of audio software you use, but for my own personal use I’m much happier doing all EQ, compression, gating, de-essing, etc. in software.

That stuff isn’t necessary in hardware, but you really do need the gain.
The first chapters focus exclusively on the SOLID design principles and best practices for testing and vendoring while the rest of the chapters get progressively more and more technical.

I think the material should be relatively easy to follow up to chapter 11 for anyone with a basic understanding of programming in Go. Chapter 12 is a bit more complex as it describes the implementation of a distributed graph processing system.

I would definitely recommend taking a look at the (heavily commented) code on GitHub to see for yourself.

Doing interviews (as an interviewer) greatly reduced my impostor syndrome as a junior software engineer.
When a guy interviewed with 10+ years of "experience" couldn't write a for loop was eye opening.

I work really bad under pressure and don't like memorizing algorithms. I hate programming anything complex on a whiteboard or anyway on-site.

Simple stuff, like your example is fine. It's a good way to weed out charlatans.
A few points what I consider a good test:

* No previous algorithm knowledge required.

* No ticks.

* An average candidate should finish it in 5 minutes. (So we gave them 10 mins)

* It can be written in 10-15 lines.

* Pseudocode is fine
I am sure there are exceptions.
Let me try to add some clarity, from my work experience.
Cost Plus work is only done when there is risk. It is monitored on a cost and schedule basis by the customer (govt). At certain cost milestones, there is a decision to stop, add more money, change requirements; deal with reality after more has been learned about the problem. It is agile to the extreme (from the development lifecycle perspective).

As a government contractor it is extremely bad for business to not deliver on a cost plus contract (meaning your customer has exhausted his budget; not what he originally OK'd you starting with). In this case the contractor can not finish the work and take a loss, as that is against the FAR. What happens is the customer is stuck and, in general, they remember.
Now, if you are the only game in town, perhaps it is a way to force the govt to throw you more cash. Most contracts are not like this.
It is important as a community that we are aware of the criteria, both claimed and actual, which guide the moderation of our community. Statements like this give people like me an opportunity to research and learn more about the decision making of the mods.

> Carta is a fun company because the more problems we solve, the more problems we get to solve.

So, you're like every other company? I used to work as a Soft. Eng. for a particular Fortune 500 company in the outdoor/pool luxury industry. They've been around ~40 years. Technologically though, woefully immature. Every e-commerce problem we solved was answered with another "fun" problem to solve. What makes you different?

Let's look at the "ideas"

- Total compensation, "problem": Ah, so data mining and monetization.

- Portfolio analytics, "problem": ...you want data analysis?

- Sell-side Research Firm: "There will be a market for sell-side research." ...umm, why? Why would those private venture-backed companies WANT to be associated with you? Then you're differentiating factor is...marketing?

Finally, why are you posting this here? On HN? At best, it's misguided. At worst, it's tone-deaf or shady. If your ideas and motivations are legit then keep building. Put your own hours and sleepless nights behind it. Prove yourself. Show there is actually market demand for what you claim. Then come back. Offer value before asking for it.
It's the same with every kind of roguelike game:

a) Either you try to go for as long as you can, enjoy dying and discover the endless amount of content and interactions.

b) You bite the bullet, start to read everything there is in forums, wikis or on youtube and see yourself progress further.

To decide, which way to take, there are two questions: Can you play the game just for fun and accept losing a lot? Or do you want to compete with other players?

You can play each game both ways and I think, there must be a place for simply playing for fun. But if you really want to get into the 95%th percentile, there is no other way than go for b) I believe. You won't discover everything there is to know simply on your own. And this is the same for a game like Overwatch as it is for Spelunky or most other deep games. You cannot compete against a community of players.

And even if you know everything there is to know: you could soon learn, that the highscore table is a lot higher than you first thought... Maybe a) was the better way to play the game after all?...

The dealer was the owner when Tesla disabled AP, not Tesla.

That's a third-party dealer who bought the car at auction, not a Tesla-dealer (which don't exist). The dealer is a private party. It shouldn't matter whether the dealer or Alec was the owner, the point is, Tesla wasn't.
Respect where it is due. I may not agree or know the veracity of the allegations but I will always support people who "live their beliefs".

Thanks for sharing. I can understand how losing a job can cause this stress, especially for people who do not have much savings.

However, if physical security is a concern that is intrinsic to job loss, then I'm not sure what the point is of saying that you're threatening "my job and my physical security", since the latter is solely a subset of the former. I think most people would interpret that statement to mean that you threatened their job and also threatened something else related to their physical security.
I've also found those discussions to be extremely frustrating. Yeah, I understand feeling that as individuals we're not able to make much of a difference, but that's all the more reason we should be advocating for structural changes.
“All runners shall be barefoot” is the only natural solution to the argument, as the problem is posed if I’m reading this correctly.
