How to Interview Engineers When You’re Not Technical – Part 1
An interesting example of this I'll mention that I have personal experience with (I know someone processing these complaints).

In New York City, there is a law against advertising for jobs with gender-specific terms. So the terms "busboy", "waitress", etc... are not permitted - you must use both gendered terms or a gender neutral term.

Some enterprising people decided to file complaints each week against restaurants and bars for their gender-based job postings online. The restaurants and bars would get fined, and the complaintee would be given a portion of the fine.

Some folks are earning a steady income filing these complaints - never having any intention of even applying for any of those jobs.

This practice continues even today - courtesy of the New York City Human Rights Commission. Ironically, the City advertises the number of "actions" against bars and restaurants as a metric that it is doing good in the community.
It's a truism for whoever is obvious to :)

As someone who’s gone down the route of working with an extension language—

Most language implementations are fairly poor at being used for extension. You can see that a lot of people use Lua for this purpose. Given how terrible Lua is as a language, there must be a compelling reason why people use it, right? It’s easy to use as an extension language. Same thing for JavaScript.

There are a few other random languages in this space. Squirrel, AngelScript, and Wren come to mind. It’s not a long list. Making your own language seems pretty appealing at that point.

One of the main things you want here is for sandboxed code to stay in the sandbox, and then to be able to destroy the sandbox to get a fresh slate back. V8 and SpiderMonkey do this, as do Lua, Squirrel, AngelScript, and Wren. Most language implementations do not. CPython has tons of global state. Mono, JVM are both huge and make this difficult (you can use Application Domains in .NET but that’s fairly arcane).

Criticisms of GDScript apply to these languages too, with the exception of JavaScript, as far as I can tell.

I’m leaving out a bunch of projects which for various reasons are even less suitable. Guile, TCL, etc.

Interpretability 2020

FWIW, where possible, I advise having both a TransferWise account and a Revolut or Interactive Brokers account.

TransferWise is fantastic for receiving money. They have local bank accounts in USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD and PLN. However for sending money and converting money, their fees can really suck: for $10k USD -> EUR (EURUSD is one of the most liquid forex pairs), they charge 81 USD in fees, or %0.8. Even for local transfers (which should be free) they charge ~1 USD.

Revolut is kinda crap for receiving money (the only local accounts are EUR and GBP, the rest are GB IBANs) but sending and conversion are both free (conversion as long as the amount is <$6k/month). If you use it a lot, they have a ~$100/yr plan that gives you unlimited on both.

Interactive Brokers is literally useless for sending and receiving money (they only accept transactions to/from your own accounts) but they're fantastic for conversion. They process your orders directly against the forex market and charge ~1USD per trade for the kinds of trades we're talking about. The downside is that their minimum account balance is pretty high (~$6k IIRC) and they have a $10/month "inactivity" fee if your balance is below $100k and you generate <$10/month in commissions. That said, if you need a brokerage account anyway, their currency conversion is a great bonus.

And finally, Charles Schwab is great in the US. They charge minimal markup on deposits and withdrawals in foreign currencies (~0.5-1% depending on amount) and they have a debit visa card with no international transaction fees and Visa's exchange rate (~0.3% spread). They're not the best around but they're really great if you don't want to put your money in the hands of a less-regulated FinTech company that has minimal deposit guarantees.
It still only shows "home" and "work" addresses in one obscure part of the UI with history off, while the rest of the UI won't let you change or add saved addresses without turning history back on.
If you're interested, the 2.80 release notes show the recentish UI redesign. Current version is 2.82 which looks much the same. https://www.blender.org/download/releases/2-80/

The first shot compares it to 2.79, which is descended from the 2.50 redesign in 2009.

I just fired it up for the first time in a while (got a 3D printer!) and have had to relearn a bit, but I'm a fan overall.

Not shown in those screenshots, it now defaults to left-click selection! Significant muscle memory to retrain for that, but it's nice to have it match every other piece of software I've ever used.

US ‘Perilously Close’ to Meat Shortage After Major Plant Closes over Coronavirus
That’s a common theme with OSS applications, unfortunately. It’s rare to get UX engineers to help, and even more rare for anyone to lead “product direction” from a UX perspective.

So a lot of them make use of rudimentary UI toolkits, with admittedly sub-par interfaces that stink of design-by-committee, since the focus is more on the “substance” of the application than the presentation. But with a lot of these tools, design tools in particular, the presentation is such an integral part of the experience, it’s unfortunate to see it be the part that gets the least care or attention.

Not to say that this shortcoming is universal; blender version 2.50 made huge improvements to UX, and Ubuntu showed the importance of good UI in open source. But Inkscape, GIMP, openlibre and others are still notably behind the curve.
I guess it depends who you are talking about. Computer Scientists are generally great at math, but it doesn't mean they are good programmers. A good programmer has style: from how the code looks, to how it is arranged, test, regressed... to how defensive the code is to soft-failures. I've worked with spectacular computer scientists who wrote compiler kernels, but their code looked like a big pile of... well, you get it.

Just to be clear these are not really truisms. This is an art piece by Jenny Holzer and its name is "Truisms" (doesn't necessarily mean that they are all actual truisms, that's just the name she gave to this particular work).

In "Truisms" she created printed versions of an erudite reading list she compiled when she was a student. She distributed them anonymously by pasting printed versions around NYC's fences and walls. (https://www.sutori.com/story/pop-culture-and-art-jenny-holze...). She also did leaflets and other printed versions of this.

All of Holzer's art concepts are very much like this. Her goal is to use public venues as a medium to deliver thought-provoking ideas and display daring written commentary.
For anyone curious, the base rate of at least one person committing suicide based on these numbers is `1-((1-(13.42/100,000))^800) = 10%`.

SourceCred: PageRank applied to open source contributions
It's not entirely accurate, but it's not preposterous and you're whitewashing the whole thing.

During tests of felled wild boar in early 2019[0][1] showed that around 70% of the ones from Gästrikland (the region in Sweden that was hit hardest from the Chernobyl fallout) contained caesium-137 concentrations way above the 1500 Bq/kg guidelines, above which the animal is considered unsellable, ungiftable, and meat from such animals, for private use, should only be consumed at most a few times a month (up to 3000 Bq/kg), or not at all (>10 000 Bq/kg).

Several animals (unclear how many) had caesium concentrations of over 40 000 Bq/kg, so there's a huge variation. Cannot find more exact figures than that.

There are some interesting updated figures here, but not as big a study: https://krets.jagareforbundet.se/gavlesodra/cesiumrapport/

There's a debate[2][3] about who should pay for testing these animals, because any animal above 1500 Bq/kg should be destroyed, and radioactivity tests are really expensive. Hunters want the government to pay. The government wants none of it. As it looks right now, wild boar hunting in these regions for the purpose of selling the meat is not economically feasible.
This might change [4] (taxpayers will foot the bill).

It's not only in Gävleborg/Gästrikland either. This map is from the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority's tests from 2018, mostly south of the really problematic areas: https://www.stralsakerhetsmyndigheten.se/contentassets/90ef7...

TransferWise customer for over 5 years now, they are the best in the market.
I have been using copyq and that is fantastic.
I see your point, and I partly disagree. First because, they are doing it for fun, to solve things they want to make it work. That doesn't say they are learning something, or following clean code guidelines.

But let's assume they DO. They are better at coding. But are you sure coding is the only skill you want? I've seen my fair share of developers that lack "real world" experience, to the point they cannot see that what they are doing is not what a user wants, or how they want to do it.

In some cases, open source projects are made for developers, and managed/prioritized by developers, not someone with experience in project management, or with a roadmap with the users in mind. So, they might be lacking a lot of other important skills, and I would dare say that some also lack empathy towards non-programmers - the paying customers.

I'M NOT GENERALIZING GUYS!

Another factor with BTC is. If you receive the money in BTC and the exchange course happens to be relatively stable. Depending on your country, you will have a hard time converting this into your currency.

At a certain amount exchanges will ask a lot of questions (at least in Europe they do). And they want to see proof for the whole chain back, so you better hope your client can provide these infos as well.

And even if everything is 100% legit, you will wait a while for your money.

O'Reilly has cancelled all of its in person conferences permanently. Large Enterprise tech companies are reevaluating their strategies. What's next for in-person conferencs? Has anyone seen anything they think can work?
You could still make the phone a primary device and allow it to perform the key agreement and pass control off with a QR code, but that is complicated and leaves open the question of who is allowed in this conference.

So perhaps you just give up on persistent identity: just have an unencrypted waiting room, the organizer and their delegates can approve people in the waiting room to enter the encrypted conference.

Interstellar object ‘Oumuamua believed to be ‘active asteroid’
Ask HN: Which college should I attend for undergraduate CS, Caltech or CMU?
Visits have been cancelled due to COVID-19, so I’m hoping HN can help me out.

Obviously those are both great options, but they differ in significant ways, notably the amount of core requirements to graduate and the size of the CS department. I’d be eager to hear any alumni from either school talk about pros/cons, and I’d love to email or reply some more specific questions to any alumni kind enough to field them (they're a little long to put here, though).

Quick background on me: My primary interest is in Robotics, I’d likely pursue that as a minor in undergrad or as a major grad school. On CS, I’d say I’m slightly more practically oriented than theoretical (in subject area, not looking for an SWE degree), but that doesn’t mean I’m not excited about PLT/Category theory, cryptography, or the mathematics of distributed systems.

Beyond that, hearing about the following from anyone who went to college for CS would help me make an educated choice:

1. What field do you work in?

2. Do you wish you had taken more CS in college or things in other fields? Have you gotten value from having a more diverse knowledge base in your career?

3. How relevant have the specifics of the CS classes--and quality thereof--been in your work? How much of your skill set was acquired post-graduation?

4. How important have your friends/network in college been to your career?

It makes sense. I imagine a lot of companies are reducing ad spend right now which means the bids on ad spots will be lower. If there is more content being made on YouTube right now then that increases the supply of videos that ads can be placed on.

All of those can be understood, no? (I'd expect to go at least that deep in a postmortem of that problem, and I regularly do go about that deep in similar postmortems.)

fair point, I did miss that further down in the section. It's still unfortunate to lead with a generalization that plays into a common trope/assumption about developers that does play out in the hiring process, but it's good to see it called out explicitly below that it shouldn't be required. I certainly don't disagree that side projects are a good data point especially for junior developers who don't have the direct professional experience.

You quote the annual age-adjusted rate for regular people. What's the rate among startup employees? Surely in startups where the future is particularly highly uncertain, employees feel a lot more pressured than those in boring companies. Ceteris paribus, why would the suicide rate be the same as that of the regular folks?

I think you would need to do a subtler analysis before commenting in the condescending way you did.
OK, let's discuss. My subsequent sentence explained why it mattered; you can't negotiate with reality. qv. covid. You can try but reality always wins.

What is the genre here that gives it a pass? If it's fiction anything goes but this is supposed to be historical investigation. Therefore facts matter. Disagree?
