Has anyone found an easy solution for video chats with virtual games? I've tried Hangouts, Meet, Discord, and Zoom but they all seemed incomplete for my requirements.

My requirements:

- Host can share their screen and video camera at the same time without having to join the meeting from two different devices

- Desktop audio and host's audio can be heard by everyone on the call

- Gallery view in video chat so everyone can be seen while playing the game

> From my perspective as a consumer, WD has turned a disaster into an advantage.

I disagree. They explicitly denied it for months until the tech press started reporting on it. They showed nothing but contempt for their customers.

Edit: I’m never going to forget this: “Well the higher team contacted me back and informed me that the information I requested about whether or not the WD60EFAX was a SMR or PMR would not be provided to me. They said that information is not disclosed to consumers. LOL. WOW.“

The spin is saying that Trump is telling people to inject Lysol instead of just giving stupid hunch advice to his advisor.

I had the same issues with x1c7. The most annoying one was the mic not working. I was really frustrated saying I should have gone for Dell. I read somewhere that Ubuntu 20.04 solves some of the problems and it did! Everything works now - mic and fingerprint reader included.

Maybe now that Lenovo will supply a Linux distro, other distros will be better supported on new models as well.
This is pretty cool. Not only are the graphics pleasant, but the interface is more elegant (I think is the right term) than I was thinking.

I like to play Supers! RED, where your superhero character / vehicle / organization stats and powers are rated by the number of D6 you get to roll when those stats are relevant to an outcome. So my first thought was, "ok, if my character has a 5D super-weapon, how do I roll 5D6 here?" But within a couple seconds it was intuitively clear--tap the die in the dice-toolbar again, to count up to 5 dice. And tapping/clicking in this way isn't even that annoying a mechanism as compared to some spinner-based mechanisms. For one, you get a graphical animation effect with each new die. So that aspect is really nice. Kudos to the developers.

You want to check through different sources, direct to consumer, through a mortgage broker, and through a bank you have an existing relationship with. It is worth shopping around with the direct to consumer lending, there might be a $10k difference in closing costs for the same rate between the best and worst of 5 lenders. With a broker they will compare 10+ sources typically.

For instance Quicken/Rocket will have different rates going direct or going through a broker. If you have a lot of money invested with Chase/BOA they could give you a better rate than you would get elsewhere. The same can be true of a credit union, or you could get a discount even if you do not have a substantial amount of money invested with your bank.
SEED was put together by the REMITR team - however, the goal is to offer as much support as possible any many startups and small businesses as possible. We're stronger together.
Given the number of people who were working until the lockdowns were announced by the government, and how many customers were still buying nonessential services, I think the majority of those jobs would not have been lost.
Yes of course. My issues were absolutely not limited to these though, but I encountered all of these issues. I had maybe twice this many issues. For those that are not in archlinux wiki I used other resources listed in my OP.

At the start of the process, I began with comp sci/DS&A fundamentals - including books like Algorithm Design Manual, Intro to Algorithms, etc. Took a few months break to get married, then resumed, eventually starting to 100% grind leetcode problems. As my wife can amusingly attest - I no longer have any hobbies or other personal entertainment since we got married. Studying for interviews consumes all the free time I have that I don't spend with her.

Add to that, since last year, my day job got a lot less demanding, so I am actually studying/leetcoding during the afternoon at work too.

One wrench thrown into the loop is that I am a mainly a frontend engineer by trade, and it seems frontend interviews at FAANG and many other top tech companies are focusing less on leetcode/DS&A and more on JavaScript trivia problems. So that has been a context shift, and I am focusing more on getting as many JavaScript tricks and patterns into my repertoire now, and less on leetcode.

Pretty much my #1 personal goal in life at the moment is to get into a FAANG, or at least similar caliber, company. No, it's not a life or death matter, but whereas someone else might be content to watch TV/Netflix, or play games, or go golfing, I'm spending that time leetcoding...

What I feel torpedoes me during the interview is that I can get often get 90%+ of a solution, even if it's a problem I haven't seen before. But some edge case or bug in my code kills me, or I miss some trick or pattern that is the key to getting it right. In a less competitive company, this might mean passing the interview, but for a FAANG or similarly highly competitive company, I feel not getting 100% technical perfection means dead on arrival.
It's always feasible to find a bug by testing. Even in the case where your code relies on some accidentally convenient behavior that might disappear in the next version of the API, you could have reimplemented the API as a stub in your test from only the documented interface. But it's often more efficient to find bugs through code review.
I refuse to be vaccinated with anything not throughly tested. You cannot test for longterm side effects during an active pandemic. I would rather get covid19 than be vaccinated for it.

I mean, literally more people wanted Clinton than wanted Trump, per capita.

Not that it actually mattered, given the way the US electoral process works, but the premise that Clinton was overwhelmingly unpopular is an exaggeration. She just wasn't popular enough in the right states.

It's true that a lot of Democrats wanted Bernie Sanders, but I suspect more of them flipped to Hillary Clinton than to Donald Trump.

Ultimately, people need agreed upon terms for communicating planning and expectations.

That's it. The more people are involved, the more complicated the process gets and all of these approaches evolve out of trying to find an agreeable and effective way of doing it so that everyone doesn't have to figure out a new solution every time.

As much of a buzzword hell as it is, I really believe that Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is the closest thing to the right balance of trade offs.

You can check out the actual sale prices of recently-sold homes on Zillow:

https://www.zillow.com/homes/recently_sold/house_type/

In the South Bay near Mountain View, there's basically no single-family homes under $1.5M, and the majority of houses go for $2M up. Many are in the $4M+ range. You can get cheaper in San Jose ($800K-ish for a run-down 2BR from the 50s) or Daly City (low millions), but most of the Peninsula and SF has a floor at a million.

Most Bay Area residents just don't own homes. They rent permanently or maybe own a condo. But the context for this sub-thread is "people with a house", and basically all mortgages for single-family homes are jumbo if you're not paying in cash or putting >50% down.
You also seem to be arguing that centrals banks don't create new money, which is an odd assertion, especially for a proponent of MMT. From the article you posted:

> "QE involves a shift in the focus of monetary policy to the
quantity of money: the central bank purchases a quantity of
assets, financed by the creation of broad money and a
corresponding increase in the amount of central bank reserves.
The sellers of the assets will be left holding the newly created deposits in place of government bonds."

> "QE has a direct effect on the quantities of both base and broad money because of the way in which the Bank carries out its asset purchases. The policy aims to buy assets, government bonds, mainly from non-bank financial companies, such as pension funds or insurance companies. Consider, for example, the purchase of £1 billion of government bonds from a pension fund. One way in which the Bank could carry out the purchase would be to print £1 billion of banknotes and swap these directly with the pension fund. But transacting in such large quantities of banknotes is impractical. These sorts of transactions are therefore carried out using electronic forms of money."
Perseverance can help, but what you say doesn’t discredit what I’m pointing out - that you just might not have Lady Luck on your side.

Again, anecdotal data. I did keep trying at other big tech companies. I did get a good job where I was hoping to save money, build a career, etc. Exactly as OP planned. You know what happened? COVID-19 led to mass layoffs less than a year after I got hired. Now I’m back to square one. I’ve barely recovered the savings I spent moving, which as others have already pointed out, is a prerequisite to OP’s advice. Sometimes luck simply isn’t on your side. To say that all it takes is intelligence and hard work is simply not true.
Honestly, ever since i moved from a pure linux environment, to just using Windows 10 pro, I have had 0 issues, and have spent a significantly smaller amount of time tweaking my environment settings.

I get why some people would want a bare-metal OEM install of linux for technical reasons (some languages/tools just run better on linux, or are only available on linux), but I really don't understand the hate people have for Windows 10. With the WSL, I've actually got a linux shell I can pop into whenever the need comes up, as well.
Will you also mirror CI infrastructure, issues, pages, documentation, API-consulting scripts, etc?

Also, pushing to a mirror is not exactly the thing you want.

What makes apt easier is that pretty much everybody is just downloading from the source or from a mirror. When the source stops, mirrors don't get updated and everything still works. That's very different from the usage model that people have with Github.

Gihub/Gitlab have extended the Git usage model very much, they are not just git. You can't easily migrate away from them to another git offering (and not even very easily between both).
I'm not sure if it's simply that he has never faced the consequences of his words/actions, or if he's just incredibly stupid and irresponsible, but he doesn't appear to think before he speaks.

Almost as if he's using his "inside" voice on the outside - taking "thinking out loud" to a whole new level.

It's very weird for a person in his position, and I'm surprised so many support him (to the point of fanaticism) over in the US. It's like their egos are too deeply invested for them to cut their losses now. Whatever his supporters might say, the guy's a bit of a joke to us here in the UK.

Ask HN: Anyone else notice a drop in phone scam calls during the pandemic?
I just received a phone call which I first mistook as a scam call (unknown number), and only then did I realize that it’s been delightfully quiet on those. One number I have in particular did, for unknown reasons, often receive multiple scam calls per day, making cleaning up voicemail a chore. Now however, for a few weeks, I don’t even recall when the last scam call was.

In my email inbox on the other hand, I noticed a new surge of the old “we want to give you many millions for participating in this totally sensible transaction” mails.

I’m not sure the two are directly correlated, but I wonder at least whether scammers closed their call centers, and email scams are their version of “working from home”?
It could potentially do that, but there are a lot of things that "normal" monomorphized generic code can do (and does routinely) that would be very very difficult to implement dynamically.

This post goes into a lot of detail on the subject: https://gankra.github.io/blah/swift-abi/

There are perhaps other tradeoffs that could be made instead, like doing more implicit boxing in debug builds, but it's not clear to me that those would be any easier to reconcile with all of the low-level details that Rust exposes. E.g. what happens to `mem::size_of` when an object of a polymorphic type has been boxed?

Related to this area is ongoing "polymorphization" work to detect pieces of generic code that actually do not depend on their type parameters, to avoid duplicating it: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69749

This could potentially be made into a much finer-grained analysis to reduce the duplication further, though that may or may not actually help compile times depending on how expensive the analysis is.
> Home Depot could have given their employees massive raises with the amount they've spent on buybacks

Each company can decide how they pay their employees. If Home Depot had wanted to pay their employees with stock options, they would have been free to do so.

It turns out it usually works out best for both the company and the employees to receive a fixed amount of cash. If the employee wants to use the cash to buy shares or options, that's up to them.

I'm certain Trump will beat Biden. That's all on the DNC in being stupid enough to back Biden, given his questionable health and advanced age.

All they had to do, arguably, is advance a viable candidate with no glaring weaknesses, and they utterly failed. It's going to be another 4 years of Trump.

This has nothing to do with actual credit risk. It has to do with the Fed’s decision as part of the stimulus package to buy mortgage backed securities backed by conventional loans but not jumbo loans. So banks have an out to sell bad conventional loans off their balance sheet to the Fed but have to take all the credit risk for jumbo loans even though those borrowers are more credit worthy and wealthier than your typical borrower.

It’s creating a distortion in the mortgage market.
> > Easy to roll out mass increases of police powers and surveillance without any real opposition

Have we seen examples of governments relinquishing surveillance powers after the events that spurred the increase? The patriot act is still a thing in the US, and it's been almost two decades since 9/11.
I implemented Agile scrum on my team at the behest of my organization. I did it enthusiastically at first, because I thought it might make a difference. My opinion changed within the first 6 months. I think it's a waste of time.

Our stand-ups are pointless because they're just status updates. Not much of consequence can happen in 10 minutes anyway. I ignore our metrics at the end of each sprint. They're meaningless. Our retrospectives are largely useless other than giving shoutouts to team members. I feel the sprint structure leads to Parkinson's law.

This situation, however, is perfectly normal because Agile advocates "people over processes." My team doesn't give a shit about the Agile process, so it's mostly like forced physical training but without the fitness benefits.
For publicly traded companies, many equity packages now include RSUs, or give you the option to choose between options and RSUs. Which are worth something so long as the stock has any value. Perhaps I am twisting the value of what equity package means.

My response: Trump is criminally incompetent at being a leader. T The things he has said and done during the course of this pandemic would have landed you or me in jail.

I don't think it's his fault, per se, but rather his sheltered upbringing and early exposure to corrupt and selfish behavior resulting in his inability to empathise with other people unless they are involved with maintaining his ego. This whole thread is an attempt to disguise his incompetence as a legitimate inquiry when it's actually just something he heard and is now repeating without any thought to the consequences.

Agreed. It's still just a hypothesis that interesting computing is equivalent to a turing machine and I don't buy it. For basically every program I've built, I could (hypothetically, bugs aside) either prove that it terminates, or it's a program like (forever do "something i can prove terminates"). The space of programs that we actually use seems kinda small. Designing a computing model that only covers what's useful while also making it convenient appears to be a long standing open problem. I'm sooooo curious to see things happen there.
Well, I definitely hit at least 3 of these things.

#1 (good luck landing a decent job in 2009)
#2 (turns out no one cares about you when you're unemployed)
#5 (not Ivy League and mediocre GPA)

Safety net was decent, so I was able to at least look for a job for some time.

#4 doesn't really apply.
Most restaurants aren't completely automated yet. You can order on your phone or at a kiosk, but someone still makes it and someone still hands it to you or puts it on your table. Until technology improves, those jobs are still needed for restaurants to operate.

Besides, I don't think the article is concerned with that. She says she could easily do more take out or do online ordering. The point is, that restaurants are more than this. They are a fixture in the community. Now that we can't go to any, many people are realizing how important it is to have that third place to share food and congregate.
Disclaimer: I don't know much about 3rd world countries other than my recent trip to Africa and talking to some locals there. In short I've learned: access to healthcare is completely and utterly fucked (this is why maximum age seems to be 40 in the villages that I went to), getting food is a struggle but doable if you know what you're doing (you just plant stuff somewhere and hope it doesn't get robbed), you'll have a mud house somewhere, you'll be living close with your family, you'll be relying a lot on your community and your community relies on you.

My point of this entire comment is to say: be a bit careful with your words when you're from a 1st world country and the person you comment to lives in an entirely different context.

--- My actual comment ---

You seem to be based in the USA. This person is from a 3rd world country. Your advice looks like its written for an American, not someone who lives in a 3rd world country.

For example, I can imagine that a lot of people don't think that the world is a competitive place but a criminal one. Why? Because there are a lot of mercantile practices going on. Your passport matters. There is no meritocracy in this world, only passports.

Make the best of what you have in some cases can be translated to: try to fucking survive and I'm sorry that your relative passed away from malaria and that we had no money for medicine, and even if we did have money the infrastructure would be too broken to bring it fast enough. Sadly enough, that happens quite often. Technically, that's still the same as "make the best of what you have". But I can imagine that it can be perceived quite negatively, as some might see that there's some implied sarcasm there.

> This will make you more successful than your relative peer group

So instead of having an average age of 50, you'll get to be 60? More successful for sure. Yet, I can feel the unfairness to 1st worlders who get to be 80.

> It's a long game.

I don't think everyone perceives life to be a game. I know I do at times. But I also happen to know family members that almost die from hunger (rare thing to happen in The Netherlands but it does). I am sure that to them in those moments life is not a game. Because of that, I also believe that enough people who suffer from poverty or are threatened by it don't perceive life to be a game.

In closing: I think your comment was actually well meant. But since I see that you were downvoted I decided to take the time to explain how your comment seems to be missing the mark to me personally. I assume that other people have a similar enough interpretation of it.

FYI I didn't downvote, as I think your comment was well meant.
I would recommend that people start with something they are interested in.

Men from first world countries like to philosophize about ancient Greeks and stoics. That is because some of this philosophy helps them deal with their white-collar jobs and helps establish some meaning in their lives, that's my guess.
