I had a few internships in high school doing webdev at startups. I got them through referrals (though not family members). Companies don't actively recruit for high schoolers (I've tried looking!), so unfortunately I think you'll have to rely on networking/connections, cold-emailing, etc.

This is a crowd-sourced repo of internship statuses for this summer, which might help: https://github.com/gcreddy42/hiring2020

My advice is to just continue building projects and you're already well on your way!
I appreciate the HN title ("We're Testing the Wrong People") in contrast to the article title ("Without More Tests, America Can't Reopen"), even though it's usually against policy to have them be different.

But the HN title is actionable: if we can change our testing policy and deploy our tests more usefully, that's great to know and eminently achievable.

But "not testing enough" isn't really actionable. There's a shortage of tests because there's a shortage of the raw materials that goes into making the tests. The U.S. already has tested far and away more people than anyone else, and is second only behind Italy in tests per capita, and has a "positive test to test" rate roughly in line with (as low of a rate as) any other country's rate. See [0] and related charts.

"Just test more" isn't really useful at this point.

"SXSW brings Austin about $350 million annually."

Is that $350 million into the city taxes, or just $350 million for some private citizens, apparently some of whom you know and for whom it is undoubtedly a big deal.
So I guess I'm still not seeing this. Can you give me a concrete idea of what this looks like? Let's assume that it is the middle of August and the food situation is still somehow stable, I install my contact tracing app, I get a clean test. Then what?
If we miss one person, that one person can still infect an entire office building by coughing in an elevator. Because of the two week incubation period, those people will not know they're infected until at least a couple of days in, even assuming testing daily. We don't yet know how long a person can infect before testing positive, but this amount of time is most likely not 0. If this amount of time is less than 24 hours the person can still make it anywhere in the US by air. If any longer they can make it anywhere in the world. How do we not have constant low-level infection everywhere?
WebGPU is extremely different from Vulkan. They have similar concepts because they're both from the same family of "explicit APIs" (that also contains Metal and D3D12).

Vulkan is hard to validate because it was designed assuming it trusts the developers to follow the valid usage rules. For example it is the developer's responsibility to only destroy GPU resources after they are done being used. Validation layers have to track for each submission the link from vkCmdBindDescriptorSets to descriptor sets to texture views to textures just to validate there is no use after frees, and that's just one of the many many valid usage rules.

In contrast a guiding principle in the design of WebGPU is that it should be fully validated at a reasonable cost. Keeping the same example, calling texture.destroy() in WebGPU will make the browser destroy the texture after all previous execution completes, and prevents any further usage of that texture. The Web Platform Tests (WPT) is a test suite that ensures browsers are interoperable. WebGPU's tests in WPT will contain test cases for all validation rules and corner cases, including overflows like the one you mentioned (and check it produces an error that is handled gracefully).

Don't bother with the links, the comments are more informative. In some of the comments people explain why it's Intel's fault and not Apple, in some comments people explain processor speeds. A lot of it is about the keyboard that they changed, but that is not related to this. My point was more that I think Apple should put the amount of effort into their laptops that they did in 2009, whether or not they do is subjective until we see their new processors.

> During a pandemic, it's more likely than not that any negative test on a symptomatic person is false.

I don't think we've reached the point where COVID-19 is the leading cause of fever, much less GI symptoms, so unless you define “symptomatic” extremely narrowly (like, “in need of a ventilator”) that's probably not true in this pandemic at this time in the US.

Well yes but I heard that b4. You should just put on your calendar to plug them in (and update the backup) once in a while. I do not think it is about mechanical robustness. It is about the way the data is stored with magnetic tech, it think HDDs should be operated every once in a while to have a better chance of not loosing the data. But 9 days sounds awfully short.

Sandy Bridge was the last really big architectural change. It seems heavily inspired by the Alpha EV8 design (Intel bought Alpha from HP in the 2001) with of course, a very different decoder section (they wrap the x86 decoder around a RISC architecture).

Ask HN: How to Network as a Remote Developer?
Hi,

I have been working remotely for the last 8 years. I am a fullstack developer. Mostly I work with php/laravel, node, and react. I always have a hard time finding new clients. Most of my work comes from my network. That includes only a handful of people. Applying for a remote job has been really disappointing. 99% of the time I never hear back. Now I am consistently worried about finding the next client.

Currently, I am working in a good corporation. But I cannot risk it. I was thinking about blogging and creating video content. But things like that take years of work. Before you start to get notices.

What are the ways I can create a good network so I don't have to worry about finding work? If you got other tips for remote dev do let me know.

Thanks

I don't want people reading the metadata either.

And what is the definition of metadata? Is it just email addresses and dates or is the subject line included? Does it include any data extracted from email such as the names of other people or links to web sites? Does it just have web server IP addresses or the URLs and if the URLs does it have referrers as well.

Exactly where is the line drawn?

Consider this set of statistics:
90% of elementary school teachers are female [1].
90% of veterans are male [2].

Unsurprising.

But, there are 2 million female veterans in the US, and only 1.7 million female elementary school teachers. That means if you talk to a random American female, it is more likely that she is a veteran than an elementary school teacher. I think a lot of disagreements on Hacker News and elsewhere stem from people saying "Well 90% of the time, X is true" without realizing that the 10% they are choosing to ignore is comprised of millions of people.

If you only look at home rentals, yes corporations make up less than 10% of ownership. But even the small percentage of ownerships really affect things, in Chicago we can see it has repeatedly taken just a few new luxury high rises to blow up cost of living in entire neighborhoods - it has a follow-on gentrifying effect where stores rush in to serve the new monied residents and the people living there can no longer afford to participate in their local micro-economy.

Again, real, actual lived experiences tell the store more than the super-super high level macro numbers might suggest.

There's still the effects on non-home real estate too, in which there is significant consolidation:

"During the past ten to twelve years, Blackstone has grown tremendously. Since going public in 2007, it has quadrupled in size. On top of that, Blackstone’s real estate division has exploded from a $17.7B venture to a $100B portfolio. According to BizNow, since 2009, it has spent more than $50 billion on commercial real estate. In addition, Blackstone closed a real estate fund worth about $16B in 2015. As a result, Blackstone now has the crown of ‘Largest Real Estate Owner in the World.’ Business Insider has even called the group’s Chairman and CEO Steve Schwarzman, ‘America’s landlord.’"
What the f* 847 companies.. holding my data?!?! How do I reclaim from multiple companies?
I’m not talking about the constant overheads, but how WASM grows as you scale your code base. My experience is that in practice it tends to be grow a little faster than equivalent JavaScript, say 1.2–2× the size depending on what you’re doing. But I should definitely have clarified that I was speaking specifically in the context of Rust—my generics remark certainly only makes sense in that context.

It’s not fundamentally terribly much larger, and can definitely be smaller (again, depending on what you’re doing), but using it as a compilation target makes it much easier to produce binaries larger than you anticipated. In JavaScript you distribute what you wrote, so you know if you loaded a lot more code. Well, in theory. Code bundlers and liberal importing of third-party libraries kinda put paid to that.
If you don't mind me asking a follow up:

How behind Ubuntu is Debian, and where can I read this information myself (i.e. is there an official list by either the Debian or the Ubuntu people that says "here's all the stuff that the latest stable Debian is missing from the latest stable Ubuntu"?)
The only way to get around this inefficiency is in my opinion to move towards single-payer and circumvent the system entirely. Otherwise you'd have to excise all of the rent-seeking parasitical behavior in our current system which I don't think is possible.

Even if you attempted to make the costs of things more transparent to consumers, there's an inherent information asymmetry between a consumer and a insurer due to the economy of scale. There's also a lot of things a consumer can't know until it's too late.
Do you mean 100 rpm? 10 rpm isn't really going to do anything. When I last looked all of those "laptop cooler pads" use tiny fans that would either be ineffective or loud or both. I settled on the mStand mentioned above, but as noted it has rubber standoffs that prevent it from acting like a true heatsink.
isn't this what Costco, Walmart are doing? I thought this is pretty common in the retail world - i.e to cut out the middle man and price it just below the name brand so people buy the store brand because it's cheaper.
My theory is Cherry Coke is actually cherry flavored New Coke. Also, I tried the Stranger Things rerelease of New Coke and it is good, I feel like they should bring it back.
I really can't stand the trend to keep making things thinner - it's gotten to the point where it's hard to find a work laptop I can get through my company that comes with an ethernet port. If we can miniaturize stuff so well then can't we miniaturize it all to spread components further apart in a predominantly empty but tall case so airflow stops being an issue?
what screen do you have? I definitely prefer Thinkpads, but Mac screens are generally better. 4k sounds like it sucks battery too much.
Maybe they do but that doesn't make it right. It's predatory.
There is not much to learn, a monoid is a very simple abstraction.

Think for example about learning about the "iterator" abstraction. It's just something with "hasNext" and "next" operations, nothing more to understand. But when you know it you start seeing iterators everywhere, and you get frustrated when something that should be an iterator isn't so you cannot write a simple foreach loop. And you'll start implementing iterators in your own code, because you know that provides a lot of convenience for free to consumers.

Same thing for monoids. They're everywhere, they offer some convenience for free, and you'll be wondering why things that should have monoid instances don't.

Just nitpicking, but a better explanation of the expansion of `vec![1,2]` would use `Vec::with_capacity(2)` instead of `Vec::new()`, that is, it already allocates the Vec with the correct capacity (the real expansion uses in-place construction of a boxed slice, but the effect is similar).

It took me a little while to get my system down, but once I'd figured out how to build and call in Rust libraries using CMake and the the C ABI, I do my best to write as little raw C++ as I can.

Using the Rust test framework, limiting direct memory management to the low number of unsafe functions I need to pass raw data/pointers across that FFI boundary, being able to count on the compiler to check if I'm doing something dumb, and being able to easily add other dependencies into that Rust .so/.a file product Cargo have all been huge productivity boosts compared to pulling out valgrind/gdb whenever I run into a segfault because I've done something stupid.

OK, but the peak was 8 years ago. So you can say that gold outperformed the S&P over 20 years. But you can't say that over any span less than 8 years, and maybe not even over 10. So, when you say "I don't expect this trend stopping", I see a trend that already stopped - that stopped 8 years ago, in fact.
A kernel provides trusted runtime services for an operating system.

A microkernel provides a minimal set of trusted runtime services for an operating system, and relies on some protection mechanism for isolating subsystems to avoid corrupting the trusted core. Preemptive scheduling is not necessarily part of it; depends whether your system requires "time" to be a protected resource.

eBPF is a kernel service, just like processes, scheduling, IPC. If eBPF can isolate subsystems and supports safe collaboration of eBPF programs despite all running at ring 0, then the eBPF VM in the Linux kernel could qualify as a microkernel once you remove everything else.

> also, following your train og thought I could say that containers make this a microkernel.

If you could run all of the device drivers in containers such that they couldn't corrupt the kernel's data, then sure, you could run it as a microkernel because you wouldn't have anything left in the kernel except essential services like threading, IPC and containers.

> So, what you are saying is that government deficits are inflationary because they add money to the economy, but, on the other hand, government surplus don't retire money from the economy?

Honestly I don't know what point you're trying to make, or what deficits or surpluses have to do with anything. A deficit or surplus is merely the delta between total revenues and an arbitrarily defined budget.

Inflation is caused by additional dollars chasing the same number of goods. Printing money does not create goods and services - it merely decreases the value of each dollar relative to everything else. If I had a machine that could create an unlimited amount of gold at zero cost, the price of gold would approach zero if I made and sold enough of it. I don't know why you would think dollars would be any different.

> Yes, but the assets the Fed buy (when practicing QE) are in the accounts of the commercial banks in the Fed. After buying them, those assets are not there anymore, and, instead there is money (1). And money is basically a government bond that pay 0% interest.

Yes, the bank exchanges an asset (like a treasury) in exchange for reserves (base money). The question you need to ask yourself is, where did those reserves come from? Another question you need to ask is, when Fed engages in QE, why does the monetary base increase?
