These two ways of navigating are formalized in pilot training (VFR).

The first one involves landmarks, and the training consists of finding good ones. They need to be highly visible, not ambiguous, and preferably referenced on maps. Following highways is a good strategy.

The second, called dead reckoning, uses the watch and compass. With knowledge of your airspeed, wind speed, and heading, you can estimate your position after a set amount of time.

Usually, a combination of the two is used: dead reckoning between landmarks.
It's for Japan region.

Also I find the word "suddenly" kind of weird, as Japanese companies do this (unlock their popular work/artists in streaming without announcement in advance) semi-frequently.
That maybe have been their original purpose — who can say — but I also appreciate that this model tends to separate social from news.

I personally prefer a model that makes it impossible for me to see Nazis arguing about an article posted by my grandma.
Exactly. That is exactly what I am describing. What I would add is a built in line of credit that allows rent to be paid, bills to be paid, without a paycheck being deposited, and without needing to withdraw money from investments, money market etc. This would basically eliminate the need to keep cash in a checking account. Once per period, whatever that period is, money would move from savings to the line of credit. This line of credit would be accessible as a bank account, and as a credit card, to pay bills.

What needs to be displayed to you is some equivalent to cash flow or net income combined with a budget. Knowing you spend x on rent and y on food a month, are you on track to keep cash flow positive?
> I came on to a project which was 5 years into a 3 year schedule, and not expected to ship for another 2 years. Shocked, I asked my team lead “Why didn’t the government just cancel the contract and assign the work to another company?”, her reply, “If they did that, the product likely wouldn’t be delivered in under two years, so they stick with us”. I understood that this mentality was pervasive, and would ultimately become part of me, if I continued to work for that company. That mentality was completely unacceptable in the competitive commercial world, and I feared the complacency which would infect me and not prepare me for the eventual time when I’d need to look for a job outside that company.

Software for any system is complex. And it’s quite common for almost every software project to be late on schedule. The Triple Constraint — “schedule, quality, cost: pick any two” doesn’t even fit software engineering in any kind of serious endeavor because it’s mostly a “pick one” scenario.

If you’ve worked on projects where all these three were met with the initial projections, then whoever is estimating those has really made sure that they’ve added massive buffers on cost and time or the project is too trivial for a one person team to do in a month or two.

The entire reason Agile came up as a methodology was in recognizing that requirements change all the time, and that the “change is the only constant” refrain should be taken in stride to adapt how teams work.
This is an novel attempt to hack the laws around required disclosures associated with first-party poltiical campaign ads. It may not violate the campaign laws it is designed to hack around and it may not violate the deceptive advertising laws underlying the FTC guides on disclosure of paid social media advertising and endorsements, but it certainly is not normal for political campaigns.
Couldn't one also argue that more frequent renewal exposes a larger attack surface?
> but if he ever pays more than 20k on doctors visits he's fucked.

I agree with the general point that there's more risk, but it doesn't logically follow that if you pay more than 20k in a given year you are ruined, compared to if you'd taken the insurance policy. Suppose you were paying 20k / year minimum for "insurance", needed some healthcare, and ended up paying 25k = 20k for the cost of the "insurance" and another 5k out of pocket that wasn't covered. Does that mean you're ruined even if you do take insurance?

To make a better argument we'd need to understand how much wealth & income & expenses someone has, and if they're able to set aside spare cash (perhaps in an investment account) that's saved in the good years by not paying for insurance, that can be used to cover or partially cover expenses in the years where healthcare expenses are high.

It's opensource. Why should Uber give any guarantees? They are not in the business of selling software.

Unless Uber is actively blocking contributions, it's not Uber's fault if no community formed around something they opensourced.

As for this being a PR piece, they could have achieved the same with just a detailed blog post and no code. It looks like a expensive PR piece if they have to opensource work that took probably hundreds of development hours.

It does, that’s why it’s there.
Assuming that you're not trolling, I'll explain how you misinterpreted what you read: the section that you quoted is a sub-heading under:

> An Obligatory Public Service Announcement

which is an argument that:

> Linked lists are as niche and vague of a data structure as a trie.

The author then goes on to state that many people have contacted him to argue that linked lists are not niche and he puts each of those arguments under a heading:

> Mumble mumble kernel embedded something something intrusive.

is one such heading. Inside of it, he continues the argument that linked lists for embedded no-heap scenarios are niche and—to continue his argument—we therefore shouldn't be teaching undergrads linked lists just like we don't teach them tries.

No Comcast’s business service doesn’t have an SLA and it’s impossible for it to be dedicated because of the TDMA scheme used on the cable itself. It’s expensive because people will pay it because they have no other options. I had to shop for internet in my office and it ended up costing more for 75mbit than it was costing me at home for gigabit. My only other option was to buy 4 DSL lines to make 24mbit for the same price. If you operate at a business address everything just becomes more expensive because you’re a business.

> [GitHub Project boards] replaced Trello/Waffle and friends.

I've actually wondered whether that feature (the Kanban style boards) will end up going away, as it seem vastly underused by the overall community in comparison to Issues/Milestones/Wikis.

Go to a random substantial repo and click on the Projects tab. It's almost certain that there'll be nothing there.
You’ll find that for very serious, industrial applications, a conservative mindset prevails. C may not be trendy at the moment, but it powers the computing world. Its shortcomings are also extremely well known and also statically analyzable.

Also, think about when flight software started being written. Was Rust an option? And once it came out, do you expect that programmers who are responsible for millions of people’s lives to drop their decades of tested code and development practices to make what is a bet on what is still a new language?

What I find interesting is this mindset. My conservativeness on a project is directly proportional to its importance / criticality, and I can’t think of anything more important or critical than software that runs on a commercial airplane. C is a small, very well understood language. Of course it gives you nothing in terms of automatic memory safety, but that is one tradeoff in the list of hundreds of other dimensions.

When building “important” things it’s important to think about tradeoffs, identify your biases, and make a choice that’s best for the project and the people that the choice will affect. If you told me that the moment anyone dies as a result of my software I would have to be killed, I would make sure to use the most tried-and-true tools available to me.
I guess what’s strange to me is not the idea that, as you become more committed to a person you discover their flaws and the relationship gets worse. That seems self evident to me and seems to be a common theme both in theory and in practice.

But how many marriages resolve with discovering the person is way better than you imagined? I’m not familiar with this, either through the idealism of poetry or romantic movies, nor through practical experience provided by observing marriages around me. I thought most people assume that you have a honeymoon phase and hopefully that never ends.
I'm surprised scientists would ever theorize that way finding is allo centric.

I've often "stitched" together two areas that I knew were close simply by walking from one to the other for the first time. After doing that, I tend to stick to the first such route, even if I am consciously aware that there's a more efficient one. Is that not a common experience? Does anyone think about space in a way that they can plot everything absolutely and accurately speculate about routes they've never taken?
I've never heard that use of the term "arena". Are you thinking of slabs? Arenas are typically allocated and deallocated at once. That's their main feature.
Deliver industry-changing projects with proven results and know your industry/domain; this could also be projects that open up new markets for the org. While I think senior developer is achievable without domain knowledge of the industry, I fail to think of a single principal or fellow I've met who did not have deep understanding of the field they're in. Some had patents to their name, some didn't; all had 'proven' in some way that they're indispensable for their respective domain.
I found it both useful and interesting. To each their own, I guess.
CAT was branding a phone some time ago with a low-res thermal camera, but it was locked to some already-ancient version of Android and otherwise total lamesauce.

Sad, because I'd buy one if it was just a normal phone plus IR. Presently I make do with a plug-in accessory module.

I share your frustration. Consider a sled-backpack-case sort of thing with "all the missing sensors", instead of piecemeal accessories you carry a gaggle of and have to swap out. If it was like one of those extended-battery sled cases, you could just leave it on and write apps that expect it to be there...

That doesn’t make sense to me as a reply to the comment above. Such startups should then be useful only for the founder. The GP’s point is to build and get feedback from the users to revise it continuously. That’s how you know you’re solving the problem for someone who seems to have the problem.
While it's tempting to criticize the authors of the papers for having lax ethics, this quote gave me pause:

"[Paper mills] sell these papers to e.g. medical doctors in China who need to have a scientific paper published in an international journal in order to get their MD, but who do not have any time in their educational program to actually do research."

It's a typical case of unintended consequences. It probably seemed like a good idea to require prospective MDs to publish a paper in a scientific journal, but if the medical students don't have time to do the research, what are they supposed to do? Pay others to do the research for them? Maybe some believed that's what they did?

> if using unsafe does not allow for the ‘borrow-checker’ to be turned off and allow for code which doesn’t abide by the checker’s requirements

It allows the latter. 'Code that doesn't abide by the checker's requirements' uses separate facilities that are only allowed in unsafe code. This means that `unsafe` doesn't have to turn off anything, and further pinpoints the parts of the code where caution is needed in order to maintain the invariants that Safe Rust is based on.
I agree with everything you say.

But without any certainty around the roadmap, support, and longterm commitment by Uber to maintain these projects, they're nothing more than interesting repos amongst a sea of interesting repos.

The way Uber brands them suggests that they're suitable for use in production environments, but so far that hasn't been the case with anything they open sourced outside a narrow envelope that resembles their own operating model. Maybe this project will set a new trend, but so far nothing they put out gained any traction or became suitable for general purpose production use. In that regard, H3 and their other projects have remained at the level of decent 'show HN' pieces rather than something you'd ever use professionally. In other words, marketing.

Based on previous news coming out e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20931644

It seems like Uber had too big of an engineering department with too little work to do, so they started reinventing wheels. Which is cool if they're willing to support them in the long term, but so far that hasn't proven to be the case.

Most likely not. Contrary to what was being said, 40 hours is still very much the norm in The Netherlands. Some people choose to work less (36 or 32 hours is common), but that obviously also means less income.

Sounds very "no true Scotsman" and people are taking this way too senior vs junior.
If you are a junior wanting to become a senior or prove themselves as being more than junior, but find yourself in scenarios where management isn't actually asking for a senior but a rockstar, domain-expert medior going under the title of senior, what do you do? Continuously hop jobs until you get lucky? Wait until you finally rack in enough years so society deems you worthy of senior? Most situations I find myself in don't want to be fixed. Trying to take charge comes across as trying to tell the driver how to drive, or take the wheel myself, when its their car we're riding in. And using my own car is akin to starting my own company or going contracting.

>The "senior" attitude would be to find ways to achieve autonomy and improve the situation.
How is this a "senior" attitude anyway? This should be the default attitude of any self-respecting employee, and I personally had this mindset from day 1 of my career. Who in their right mind wants to be either dependent or not make their life better? That's not junior, that's lazy.
The execution of this is so stupid. For $2500 they should have been getting more than copy paste content. Are there no under-employeed recent college grads who can write a few original, pro-Bloomberg tweets a day for $2500 a month?
Your boss, HR or whoever is responsible for deciding your salary definitely is a person though.
We should ask management more questions, like: how much time do you think that would cost? And keep score of how often they are off.
School zones often play a part in the decision. With massive disparities in funding between even relatively close school zones where you live can have a large impact on your children. So often parents are forced to commute so that their kids can attend a good school. This is very unfortunate and likely a direct result of the way we fund schools in the US, but its reality for many.

One could of course argue that more time with their parents is crucial for the child as well and that is absolutely correct. My main concern though is that my kids are safe and well looked after during the time they are away from me though.

Now if I was a young single person, I would absolutely choose living in a studio a block from work over commuting an hour each way to a larger house in the suburbs. With kids other factors take precedence.

Now I am lucky enough to work remotely and it is indeed the 'bees knees'.

Fetishism is not compatible with sound engineering.

"Cared only enough" is just your projection. The contractor knew the requirements, and satified the requirements with no waste of engineering time, and no risk of memory reclamation interfering with correct operation. The person complaining about leaks wasted both his time and the contractor's.
You've just changed the word without actually defining anything. What constitutes practicing? What stops one licensed engineer approve a design nominally created by thousands of unlicensed lower engineers?
Or you find another avenue to address the same concern. Or you find better evidence to support your position. Or you mitigate against bad priorities and be patient until it's obvious that the bad decision isn't paying off. Or you talk to different people to see what you are missing.

Or you find another problem or assignment without this category of problem.

If you tried all that and still aren't making an impact, go pitch that story as you apply for a position with more empowerment.
I am not able to wait for a video to explain something, I prefer to read books. I don't know what is good about this teacher. Linear Algebra Done Right is a good book. I am not able to appreciate Gilbert Strang style. But algebra is easy to grasp if you are motivated and prepared for hard work. I recall he stressed SVD. Once you are up on statistics SVD is a very useful tool, but I find his style overly pragmatic, if you are able to read a book like Linear Algebra Done Right you will appreciate what a non pragmatic style mean here. Anyway this can be sour grapes, I would like my students to enjoy my lessons. Algebra Done Right goal is that you can demonstrate and learn for facts and proofs. GS book is about using the tools of linear algebra.
I fondly remember receiving a bin of Lego roughly the size of a small microwave every Christmas during my early years. Inside was a green baseplate, a couple thousand assorted pieces, and a booklet with pictures for inspiration.

Years later, I searched everywhere for a "Lego set" similar to these bins but couldn't find anything. Modern Lego feels a lot less like a brick building toy and more like a fancier version of what you'd find inside a Kinder Egg.
Inconsistent user-experiences with native lazy-loading images
There are checkpoints in civil engineering projects that can't be passed without a professional engineer affixing their official seal to a document. If you are a professional engineer and you are found to have done this improperly you will lose your license, which is way worse than being fired because you won't be able to get a job anywhere else either. And civil engineers are indoctrinated into their field's ethics culture with lots of reminders of how many people died when current practices were not followed.

If a firm is found to have inappropriately (for example, pressuring a professional engineer to affix their seal inappropriately) they will lose their certificate of authorization and then not be able to do any engineering work.
