You're absolutely right we could be doing a better job of managing expectations for what will happen next.

Right now since this is still in beta its pretty manual process but here is roughly what will happen:

- We review how you describe your ideal role and make sure we have enough information to know what kinds of companies to reach out to

- We create a blinded version of your resume (remove you contact information so no recruiters contact you directly)

- We search for companies/jobs that match your preferences and reach out to them to ask them to provide an estimate

- You'll have a google doc shared with you with estimates from different companies. This will be updated in real time as we get estimates

- You can decide to use your report just to better understand your market rate, use it to ask for a raise with your current boss, or connect with any of the companies that provided an estimate you would be interested in working for

Hope that helps! Feel free to reach out to matt@tellmewhatimworth.com if you have any more questions/comments/etc
Passenger planes make many flights per day, thus a lot of attention is made on the costs of usage (ie, the plane is not cheap to buy but it will be cheap to operate per flight).

Cargo plane fly mostly twice per day (base to sorting center and back), so they use older planes. They use more fuel per mile, but acquisition costs are low.

You can't just repurpose brand new planes for cargo use, it's not economically viable.

Plus, it would mean the safety of cargo pilots is less important than the safety of passengers...
How to Learn a Foreign Language
SELinux is probably the defacto standard for this sort of thing nowadays.
The phrase reflects on “illegal” being an act for which you are punished by a court or regulatory authority. There is never any question that laws or regulations are actually being broken. View the phrase as exercising poetic licence and using “illegal” as a shorthand for “leading to a conviction and causing the actor to face punitive action.” The backwards logic is that I didn’t face punitive measures therefore what I did is not illegal.

Thus in your example robbing the bank is technically illegal but you aren’t going to court if you don’t get caught.

Funny, but wrong.

Firstly, you are missing ToNumber(): “Each of the following Math object functions applies the ToNumber abstract operation to each of its arguments (in left-to-right order if there is more than one). If ToNumber returns an abrupt completion, that Completion Record is immediately returned. Otherwise, the function performs a computation on the resulting Number value(s). The value returned by each function is a Number.”.

Secondly, no one would call those reasonable approximations, let alone approximations of standard C library functions: “these functions are intended to compute approximations to the results of familiar mathematical functions, but some latitude is allowed in the choice of approximation algorithms. The general intent is that an implementer should be able to use the same mathematical library for ECMAScript on a given hardware platform that is available to C programmers on that platform.”
I don’t understand the point of Dropbox anymore. Constant upsell, even in paid plans, and lots of performance regressions in the app. The syncing engine is the key differentiator, but for me it’s less of a big deal for me now, as my LTE connection is often faster than the office.

> It is inherently an issue with binary floating point[1]. It is not an issue with decimal floating point. In decimal floating point, 0.1 + 0.2 = 0.3 exactly.

Decimal floating point doesn't fix the problem, it just makes the simplest example work. If you did ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ in decimal floating point, you'd still get 0.99999 instead of 1.
I forget if it was IFTTT or something else I set up that downloads any YouTube videos I like/upvote into a cloud sync directory for me.

I may write some custom code to extend this to just youtube-dl anything that appears in my youtube history and store it on my NAS.

I’ll probably self-host huginn and have it periodically put downloaded things (eg offline maps, torrented music via rss) into a syncthing directory (that syncs to all my workstations).
> Hopefully countries will start banning facebook outright soon

After living long time in a country where “ban it” is the answer to all the problems (drugs, child abuse, election interference, terrorism, name it) (USSR, and then recent Putin’s Russia) I’m deeply worried about western voters seriously consider banning the solution to all the problems.

If you don’t like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, just make another one, better, safer, fairer.

Well, there is a considerable difference between "good taste" and professional experience with the art market. A lot of art sales are made with things that are totally tasteless from my unprofessional perspective. It would therefore make a lot of sense to experiment with real art experts with experience of the market. Maybe you have heard of the experiments where they submitted machine generated publications to scientific conferences and succeeded with it ;-)
Why do you think they hate it?
I'd bet most of them are quite "low quality art", but interesting anyway...

I think you make an important point here and I wish your top content weren't greyed out.

That said, I think my point that the devil is in the content remains with the additional important note that screens enable new types of particularly dangerous content.

That may in fact be a more important point than mine and thus bolster the original decision to study screen time specifically.

Not only that, but it must be incredibly rewarding to work on something that actually helps people. In addition, they got to work on something that's really cutting edge or even futuristic in a way that most technology work isn't.

It's a huge win all around, and the world be a much better place if more people in tech did stuff like this than figuring out more effective ways of getting people to click ads or spy on them.

On property I totally don't agree. Prop 13 in California is the poster child for the damage that kind of thinking causes.

Before you click: Know that this is a lead generation tool. It doesn't give you an estimate right away. They collect your information and give it to their recruiters, who will supposedly shop you around to companies and return compensation estimates. You do not receive any estimates or information at the end of the signup process.

Not necessarily a bad thing if that's what you're looking for, but worth noting before you start entering your personal information.
> I'm not sure what kind of company you work for, but 6 months of training is ridiculously long, unless there is a lot of institutional knowledge that's siloed amongst a small subset of employees - which should never happen in the first place, if your manager was any good.

At Google there's an expectation that you won't be 'productive' for 6 months after joining, though that's not surprising considering how different everything is.
I suspect they were considered an inefficient use of memory. The TX-0 and PDP-1 had screens of about a million points. For uses like plotting data, playing video games, or drafting mechanical linkages, this resolution is highly desirable — I've done CAD on a 320×200 CGA screen, and the screen resolution was extremely limiting. (For those who haven't used one, this resolution is such that you can fit 25 lines of 40-column text on it before readability starts to suffer.)

You could imagine putting something like a 320×200 CGA on a CDC 6600, taking what we would now call 16000 bytes of memory, at a cost of around US$40 000 in 1965 (https://jcmit.net/memoryprice.htm says). But it seems like it would be hard to justify that as a good alternative to adding those 16000 bytes to the machine's main memory, supplying an extra 1.6% of its address space with storage and allowing it to tackle problems that were, say, 5% larger.

(There may also have been a question of memory speed. The memory cited above that cost US$2.50 a bit was core, and maybe it had a 300 ns cycle time; a 320×200 display at 50 Hz minimally requires a 312.5 ns dot clock, and probably quite a bit faster than that because of the blanking intervals, so you might have needed two to four memory banks just to satisfy the RAMDAC's hunger for pixels. Of course they wouldn't have called it a "RAMDAC" or "dot clock" at the time.)

If you believe that “transpilation between any languages” is a thing, chances are you’re observing your local blub paradox.

Heck, this makes me want to work on my custom best language again.
"In late October, Ashley Johnson, a single mom and seasoned gig worker in a quiet Seattle suburb, tweeted about the decline of lucrative work on Shipt, the Target-owned grocery delivery app."

"An hour after tweeting, Johnson received an email from Shipt telling her that she had been “deactivated” and was not “eligible to reapply” for her job, according to an email reviewed by Motherboard. The letter provided no explanation for her removal from the app. (On gig economy apps like Uber and the like, “deactivation” is the same thing as getting fired.)"
Duolingo is useful for memorizing vocab, but you'll never get anywhere near fluency with it. The possible space of interactions is just too limited.
Not trying to denigrate the amazing technical skill needed to make this thing, but from the point of view of someone who makes art, this is a pastiche image maker. I have yet to see AI generate anything that's not a combination of existing images and techniques.
Probably wading into murky philosophical waters here but I reckon art needs to be more than a nice 'arty' looking image to be considered any good. If you are going to make Art that is worth the capital 'A' on the front, then it has to mean something.
However I suspect the days of actually making Art are in the past. We're on to something else now. Not necessarily better or worse, just different. Art is an old idea, not entirely relevant any more.

Alibaba was the biggest tech one recently. I'd expect more Chinese companies to take the scene.

Companies like Huawei are still private, and solidly have FAANG tier revenue. It seems like they're big enough to not have to go public, but there's rumors of it.

Something like TikTok (ByteDance) is able to compete toe to toe with Instagram, product wise. They'd probably be the first serious Facebook competitor.
I'm not an art expert or an artist, but I spent a lot of time in art galleries and museums forty years ago looking closely at and thinking about abstract art.

Because this tool isn't freely providing the data, would be it reasonable to suggest it was posted here purely for lead generation purposes? I could go to https://levels.fyi if I wanted quite detailed compensation data (broken down by job title / years of experience / city, etc).

Seems like the correct answer is exactly what the author admits at the end: use an "epsilon" so that tests only compare against the expected result to a certain number of decimal places.

The author's preferred solution is to use a cross-platform library that always gives the same answers. To which I ask the HN audience: what are actual valid use cases for that?

I'm trying to imagine where it is required that re-running the same computations on different platforms yields not just the same results in digits 1-15, but the same in the final digits 16-20. I mean, that is just an insane level of accuracy. And really... instead of relying on any result in those last 5 digits (accuracy which is obviously not there), would it be better practice just to truncate anyways?
It doesn't completely fix the problem, but it makes the problem smaller.

The gap between naive expectations of how it should work, and how it actually works, exists for both binary and decimal floating point, but the gap is bigger in the case of binary than it is in the case of decimal.

Also, the problem that ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ < 1 is not unique to floating point – the same issue occurs with fixed point arithmetic (unless your scale factor is a multiple of 3, which is not a common choice). In the general case, if one wants to avoid this problem, one needs to use rationals.

I think the issue with ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ is easier to explain to beginners – it requires an understanding of rounding and that ⅓ cannot be represented exactly as a decimal, which in many countries the school curriculum pays more attention to than it does to other number bases, so many people have a better intuitive understanding of the former than the later.

This is correct that we don't give an estimate right away. We reach out to companies that are a good fit for a given engineer and ask for a personalized estimate since we believe that's the best way to get up to date information.

We work primarily with in house recruiters at the companies themselves and not 3rd party recruiters and do not share your contact information directly.

Hope that helps clarify

Yup. Piston aircraft engines indeed need tons of maintenance. A huge number of moving parts coupled with trying to minimize the weight and maximize the power is the cause.

In WW2 the Germans fitted aircraft engines to their tanks, which worked great when the engines ran, but too often they didn't due to battlefield conditions. (Germany was also terribly short of avgas, which crippled those tanks.)
