Convoy Inc turns 5 years old today, and I thought it would be a good time to finally write this article. I know there is a lot going on in the world right now and I know that a lot of people are looking for jobs in these troubled times. This article is for all of you who have been on your search for a long time with little to no success. I've been there, and it was painful – especially as an international student.

If you know someone who needs to read this, please share it with them. Let me know what you think in the comments section!

I think we're a middle generation that grew up before the internet that this makes sense for. The CDs are probably going at the next move, but I expect to keep my MP3 collection forever.
I'm glad, Opera is offering native support for Wallets, ENS & IPFS. It is a proof that they can still lead the way.
There is also some progress made by Brave what will really help in term of market share.
Unfortunately native support on Firefox is not there yet... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1354807
Opera Android adds IPFS, ENS, and .crypto support by default
This is an evaluation of performance on bands used for satellite communications, i.e. VHF and above.

If anyone is looking for an SDR primarily for HF and below, I think the Airspy HF+ Discovery is considered the best affordable option right now. If you want a good general-coverage SDR, I'd recommend one of the SDRplay products like the one they reviewed or the cheaper RSP1A.
I also thought about this and it's a hard problem. It would basically have to work like a real-time game engine where user actions/inactions are predicted; those sounds get sent to everyone; everyone hears the result; some people can change their inputs; sound gets corrected with inputs.

The resulting sound will be glitchy as in notes that were not played will briefly be heard--similar to how a character position might glitch in an MMO. Anything without predictive sound broadcast wouldn't have the timing to be fun to play together is basically my conclusion. I would love to see this, as glitchy as it might be would still be awesome. Maybe something that uses both TCP and UDP might help. UDP to get early input changes, and TCP to always eventually catch changes.
Do you mean like 10,000 valid members or 10,000 candidates (where the set might only contain a small number of valid members?)
Dapr is attempting to play in the same space as us. Using a standalone server and grpc generated libraries. We're a Go framework first as we believe development is about the tools you put in the hands of the developer meaning how they write code. We deliver the framework as a set of grpc services also which you can start with the command "micro server" and communicate through https://github.com/micro/micro
But it provides a false sense of security.

Also because healthcare and other benefits provided by your employer are unreliable. If your employer can easily fire you when you're sick (it's illegal where I live, but there are probably ways around it, and I understand that in many US states it is easy to fire people for any reason), then getting sick directly threatens your health insurance, at exactly the time you need it most.

Also, if something is essential, then it's also essential for unemployed people. Providing it through employment makes no sense.
bit frustrating!

And seeing how AMD is already a faster and better CPU in general (I mean the latest AMD Ryzen 3000 vs Intel 9000 series, at time of writing this), I'm not sure what about that needs citation?
Because they aren't doing it.
useful correction, thanks :)
> I'd be surprised if they're not impartial about everything else.

Assuming impartiality seems awfully optimistic, given both human nature and the fact that Google admits that it is committed to maximizing profit.
For some inexplicable reason some pages add script tags with javascript. So what happens is that you archive a page. The page is gone and when you visit it you notice all the broken links pointing to javascript files that are gone as well.

Archiving even just a single webpage is non-trivial. You're dependent on the internet archive if you want a reliable backup.
This seems a good thread to memorialize OmniWeb — for a few years there, it was the best web browser of all time.

When was that? 2002-2005 ish?
It seems to me that for applications other than food/beverage containers there's probably not an issue as long as it isn't used to create a throw away product by replacing more durable materials.

Synthetic fabrics could be an issue due to micro-plastics; however, unfortunately there just aren't good alternatives for many applications; particularly for vegans. For example, for cold weather gear you basically have synthetics or wool. For rain gear the only non-synthetic options that I can think of are leather, oil-skin, and waxed cotton.
I forgot the name but there was this game released in .. 2017? A metroidvania in which you have all the tools at your disposition from the beginning of the game, but aren't taught how to use them / know they exist until later in the game. So a player who has already finished the game could refinish it very fast.

Game Maker's toolkit made a video on it.
It doesn't run a full browser engine so it won't work with the vast majority of websites.
The iPhone has a setting that has you route unknown callers to VM ("silence unknown callers"). I used to do the silent-answer trick, but this is so much better. If it's important,I get a vm and I'll call right back.

The times it has failed me is, actually, right now. I put in a call to have a delivery, maybe the last four digits are 4700- I've plugged that number in. But the guy calling me back calls on 4709 and gets VM. So I have to remember to turn this off if I'm expecting a delivery.
Such a disingenuous argument. The government quite frankly ties the free-market with weird regulations that essentially prevent competition. And then we get snarky comments such as this that say "oh wow, look how badly the free-market failed". For an example of free market trying to solve this, albeit not in a great way, have a look at TrueCaller and similar software.

it feels like screen scraping regurgitated.
Oh no, what i mean is that it can't help me find the constructor of the thing i'm creating. Resolving a make_shared call to the implementation of make_shared is completely useless; the only thing you ever want to do is find the constructor it's forwarding to.
> "The government doesn't pay for anything. Taxpayers do."

By that logic, taxpayers also don't pay, but their employers do. And they don't either, but their customers do. It's the cycle of money in every economy.

But perhaps more important than that: in a democracy, the government represents the citizens (including the taxpayers). The government pays for stuff on behalf of the citizens for the benefit of the citizens. At least if the system functions correctly.
I totally agree. Eventually you will compete with your peers for attention, housing, world resources, etc. It is vital that you compare yourself to other. Of course, comparison should not happen in a way that leads to jealousy, but rather a mindful choice of "I want to become good at this" or "I want to stay out of this".
In a better world, they would be legally accountable for false claims of being end-to-end encrypted.
Omni has a great product (products, really) but not launching them as a SaaS was a big mistake. Hopefully, not all is lost and they can still do this.

Also, they need to embrace freemium model when it comes to project management like Bitrix24, Trello and Asana have done. That's why they are undisputed leaders right now.

It's a block though, isn't it?

Color::Green is an enum variant while { Color::Green } is a (constant) block (expression) that evaluates to an instance which is used as a generic type parameter.

The difference might be more easily understandable if we look at an enum variant that holds a value, where the syntactic differences between variant and instance constructor are more clearly visible.

Color::RGB(u64, u64, u64) vs { Color::RGB(10, 20, 30) }
I find it very suspicious that all those art dealers and bankers etc. are suddenly "trying to help hospitals" instead of doing their former job. I Call BS. They are shady characters that try to make money on a crisis and every single one of them should be punished. Sadly in an ultra-capitalist system these people will float to the top rather quickly instead of sinking to the bottom as they deserve. If these dealers did not exist there would be way less problems in ordering respirators and masks in my opinion. I also find it extremely distasteful that so many countries including the US try to outbid, out-maneuver and out-threaten others to get more masks.

A crisis really does show the real character of people and nations.
This is beautiful. As selection pressure increases, the candidates evolve to mimic all the criteria of the selector.
Seems like a good place to turn to this "invisible hand" I hear so much about.

If work is more risky, and you're standing to make a killing, consider paying your workers better?

If that ends up putting your margin so low that you can't sustain operations, well then maybe you weren't so competitive after all...

Interesting, that you say longer for travel.

To what extend is travel restricted at the moment? What happens when someone from - say - Germany flies to the UK?

As far as I can see, flights can still be booked.
Yes, there is this

Indian government went to Supreme Court(SC) to control the news of Covid19 in media(to control fake news, as per government).
SC upheld the right to free discussion about COVID-19, even as it directed the media to refer to and publish the official version of the developments in order to avoid inaccuracies and large-scale panic. Aftermath is that the government got a chance to under report the positive cases and deaths and over report the testing capabilities.

If the pkg format was no longer supported, developers might use GUI installers instead, and those are harder to verify and install/uninstall programmatically.

I'm not opposed to the idea of immigration, but proposing it as a replacement for education is bizarre. If you have a population of uneducated idiots, pretty soon you won't be able to afford those highly educated immigrants anymore.
Python has Standard Library while NodeJS does not.
Simple rule: if it's inbound it is fraud until you've called the official publicly posted phone number of your bank. Don't ask them for a number to call back, go the website of the bank, verify the domain is the right one and call their service desk. Never ever continue an inbound call like this.
The honest truth to why they do it is because they don't want to be in a situation where they're shipping keys around between locations (or even pretending to inventory/store them) because people keep forgetting to bring back both or lose one and the other one is in an office in another state. You're far less likely to lose both keys than just one because of how obnoxious it is. And having 2 keys is actually a reasonable increase in re-sale/auction value because of how expensive/difficult it is to re-key cars these days (unless you're a criminal then it's really easy and cheap apparently).
also if you could clarify how data I input and tweak is reused.

In one of my current projects, I'm using Scalatags on the server-side generating strings, and then using the same templates on the client to generate Preact.js vdom nodes to re-hydrate the server side templates. Cross-platform, cross-backend templates is really a very nice thing to have!

With generic types, you can also model infinite state machines by instantiating a generic type with anther generic type.

This way you can extend the concept of the presented finite state machine all the way to Turing machines!

The earliest workable color photographs were made with potato starch!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autochrome_Lumi%C3%A8re

My dad was a man with a lot of interests, one of which was the history of photography. He painstakingly reproduced just about every old photographic process that he could find documentation about (well pre-internet, so this mostly involved flea markets and libraries). The most dangerous ones were the Daguerreotypes, an early monochrome process that used mercury vapor for the development of the photographic plates. That nobody died or got really ill from that is a small miracle, he had absolutely no idea of how dangerous this all was.

SQLite is well designed? Give me a break. It's an ugly and insecure hack. https://research.checkpoint.com/2019/select-code_execution-f...

The meta tables declaring all table structures are changeable via SELECT and CREATE VIEW statements, the fulltext search engine still allows follows arbitrary user pointers by default. Well-designed is different.

The problem is not the language, the problem is in the design.

Instead of banning, Apple should be working together with them to understand why they're resorting to such ugly hacks just to improve the installation UX, and use that feedback to improve macOS instead.
Over time I've come to disagree with this sentiment.

If you're a software engineer you should consider yourself a craftsman. Treating your job as a "shift" means you don't care about your craft.

The reason I'm not a founder today is that I've observed that founders don't have well rounded lives. I want 5 workdays a week to consist of 8-9 hours of work I'm invested in and care about, 8-9 hours of personal life (relationships, socializing, working out, reading, personal projects, hobbies, TV and games, etc.) and the rest in sleep. I want two days a week off.

So what, I have to give up doing work I care about because of it? I don't think so. I choose work I think is important, technically deep and challenging, and if droppings hit the fan and I get laid off - I can be proud of what I did and understand that the pain is real and that it will pass.

Better to have loved and lost.

In a car it's even worse because you have to tell everyone in the car (or on the phone) to stop talking, give your command, wait for the confirmation and then everyone can continue talking.
They provide value in a specific form, which is aligned to their goals, and it may or may not overlap with what's optimal for society. But they're not in the business of providing what's best for society. That's a byproduct of competition, not a goal from the outset.
I kid you not, today Alphabet's mindless robot army more frequently know as Google thought the best news to surface as an Android alert to me was something with the words Kubernetes, Covid19, and Microservices in the title. I can't wait to see what SEO masters will come up with as the optimized article. We need a GAN site entitled "this is not an hacker news submission'!!!
Let‘s hope the hospitals use the same backdoor to remove body bags as they are using to steal ventilators and masks. Maybe so the relatively good administration is spared nasty questions.

Relatively good administration my ass, that bar is a chalk line on the ground.
it raises a more important question of what are we going to do with people. seriously. they should be banned from the apple store not Zoom. Just because something has features of snapchat/instagram filters (see: zooms silly background) everyone "needs" it? give me a break. theres 100 better products but they dont have silly backgrounds out of the box. I also have to assume based on the utilization numbers presented people are using this for dating/cybersex? because normies arent that busy working in general.

If these reasons exist, the company put lives at risk for weeks and then fired someone for doing the same thing for one day. Many members of management should have been fired before Monday for this to seem legitimate.
No way if those companies had to OS their code.
You could pump money into OS slowly by making government departments pay a royalty to the maintainers/projects they work with. Things such as Drupal, Tomcat etc.
It took me a second to figure it out, too.

The potential customer was a software company, meaning that the only way they make money is if others pay—which they were unwilling to do themselves.
Probably a tiny subset. But the problem is finding that small subset!
Pretty sure the op was asking for a citation specifically about aws nodes. Should be simple enough to take a test workload on Intel vs amd nodes and measure things (besides "safety" which is too nebulous to measure). Consumer chips aren't entirely relevant.

Are you tuning hyperparameters when learning a task?
It would not if would if they would do where their mouth is. But since it's neither memory safe, type safe nor concurrency safe, there is still a need for actually safe languages. But currently the need for fast and half-safe languages and lot of hype trumps everything.
Saving people by preventing them from going to work, because their jobs are hazardous to their health.
I left Google in 2010, so it's just a wild guess, but I suspect a big part of the issue is learn-to-rank is probably being trained on everyone's searches. I think it would probably do much better if they used the presence or absence of search operators as a simple heuristic to separate power user searches from common searches, and trained a separate ranking model on power user searches.

Maybe they're already doing this, but it sure acts like learn-to-rank is always ranking pages as if the query were very sloppy.

It's been a long time, and I certainly never read the code, but I vaguely remember a Google colleague mentioning something (before learn-to-rank) about a back-end query optimizer branch that would intentionally disable much of the query munging if there were any search operators in the query. There was some mention about using cookies / user account information to do the same if the same browser/user had used any search operators in the past N days, but I'm not sure if that was implemented or just being floated as a useful optimization.
You’ve never lost and loved something too much yet. This can be very bad advice for many people.
This made me realize how much I like Hacker News and distrust Alphabet.
Not to mention that often times construction workers use respirators as part of their job.

Catalina seems to have bust Wifi monitor mode on tcpdump on my MacMini 2018, yet it works fine on my Mac Air.

Still not sure if that is my machine, or a general fault - but the lack of monitor and promiscuous mode is playing havoc with IPv6 multicast packets from VMware Fusion VMs.
It turns out, this is much easier to apply to rust than to C#!
I like reinventing the wheel on the game logic side. The payoff for novel ideas is often pretty high. Not everything is a tiled side scrolling platformer or a top down RPG. However, with graphics it's the opposite for me. The amount of setup needed to even show a single triangle feels like a waste of time. You're tied to a single graphics API so you either have to write the code again and again for each API or you use an engine. The payoff is pretty low because spending hundreds of hours on a custom graphics engine doesn't make your game stand out unless you are very skilled.

Of course this doesn't mean you shouldn't write your own graphics engine for fun and as a learning opportunity but if your goal is making a finished game then you should avoid falling into this trap.
