Yes, and! Things are often less black and white than this. The more I dig into what I think I want, the more influences I find. I want to impress my parents, I want to provide a super safe and comfortable life for my partner, I want people to notice the company I work for and smile and think I'm smart. As I take the time to pull those things apart, and wow does it take time, the call to teach and write is quieter but maybe truer? I don't know. I have to test it out.

TL;DR I think disinterest is driven by a combination of capability and soul AND (sometimes very loud) outside influences.

Non scientist here but I’ve been harping on about the same thing. Someone can cough this virus into my face in a matter of seconds. It would appear this 15 min contact duration minimum is perhaps based on outdated data and knowledge of transmissibility.
Oh, that's a hardline position. It's a good argument for taxing advertising. In a society that's spent out, with a low savings rate, advertising just moves demand around. It doesn't generate it.

(One could write an article about the Web titled "The obsolescence of information in the advertising age." Cover the decline of actual info provided on web sites, vs. the giant sucking sound of the onboarding funnel. You know, the sites which have nothing but stock photos and a form for entering in your email address.)
My experience buying a couple of things from amazon.com.au recently has been "will be delivered in 3 weeks" => arrives in next 2-3 days. They ended up being Flex deliveries to a residential address, not courier/AusPost.

No guarantee of course, but it seems they are setting low expectations they can beat.
Yes, but if they did it right they couldn't bill the government to fix it multiple times over.
I would be grateful you have a job; most software engineering jobs pay relatively well. Be grateful for this pay.

Find something outside of work that excites you if work doesn't excite you. Work isn't everything. If the actual thing you do at work doesn't excite you, try making friends at work who do excite you.

If writing simple CRUD apps is boring, it sounds like you actually have some aptitude afterall. If it's boring, try to find the sweet spot of challenge with capability. It sounds like you are capable of more than what you are doing now, so gravitate in that direction and move from there.
SEO being broken does not mean that advertising as a whole is broken.
I haven't noticed it being slower, but you can also bind a single key to the dig action (original Liero didn't have that option), which in my experience results in much faster digging than with the old hold forward + tap back combo.
v=ri is a simple case of Ohm's law, with an impedance with no reactive component and no funny signals.

Being "v=ri" or having a "v=ri" mentality means not asking too many questions or not bothering with details or nuance. The meaning is contextual and depends on the delivery.

"That guy is v=ri", means a simpleton, without nuance or character depth, rigid, or extremely effective. It can either be a compliment or an insult, depending on the delivery.

"I was hungry and found a sandwich that's a week old. I was like v=ri" (meaning the person ate the sandwich withtout asking too many questions).

It also means not bothering to understand things and blindly following a rule all the time. No questions asked.

In the context of the comment, I believe it is repairing industrial microcomputers with a multimeter and a soldering iron, checking continuity, replacing parts, without digging deeper.
Have you ever read through this annotated ES5 spec? Even annotated it's still pretty dense, but it's a nice way to both dive deeper into the language and as a 'minimap' to guide you through the parts you have yet to totally master. It definitely helped me level up more.

It effectively means the entire household becomes quarantined. Depending on where you live that's actually not really much of a problem. We just do what we have to do.
Tips for Software Engineering Interviews
Because no one knows what it is or even agrees on a definition. Consciousness is a pre-scientific concept at this point.

There are attempts to rigorously define it. I'm currently reading this paper, but not really convinced: https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/jo...

"Shockingly, and inexcusably in my opinion, the researchers only state the instantaneous power (50 W/m2) of their device..."

That's not entirely fair. If Nature demanded that articles be written defensively, anticipating possible misinterpretations from non specialists, they would be very different articles with lower bandwidth for the target audience, who already know the difference between average and instantaneous power. The journal would not be improved by writing for endgadget instead.

It would be nice to have an implications section that put the effects in scale, but hardly inexcusable not to.

That was just Hollywood BS. But it made for a good story.

The singularity is a sign that General Relativity breaks down -- an artifact of the theory, not necessarily a physical thing.
I agree that if taken to the extreme this is the case; but I don't believe Stoicism suggests one should take it to the extreme.

Personally, I interpret "don't worry about it" more as "don't get hung up on it", or "don't take it personally". I agree entirely that this should not mean dismiss everything as an unapproachable problem; for me, looking at things to understand whether they are inside or outside my control has largely helped me realise that even for many of the things outside of my control, there are elements I can affect, and I can focus my efforts on those.

I get no benefit from being angry that my pizza delivery ended up one street over, nor from stressing that I was already between jobs before COVID made a mess of the job market. These are things I can't control.

What I can control is my reaction.

I could call the pizza place and complain, demand a refund, and tell everyone I know about their crappy service; I could leave bad reviews online, and hurt their business. I could blame COVID for everything, and sit inside watching Netflix for three months, wallowing. I could sit on my hands and wonder why people won't hire me, when I think I'm more than qualified for a position.

Or, I can thank the person my pizza was delivered to for letting me know it had ended up at their door, and develop a new friendship with a neighbour. I can let the pizza shop know about what happened so they can avoid it in the future, so that their business improves and succeeds, helping them and their employees. I can take the time I have on my hands and learn a new skill to be more employable, and make contacts in a new industry. I can make efforts to reduce the overall impact of COVID and protect my loved ones by adhering to social distancing.

I have chosen to try and make things better through my interactions with others, in large part because I know that some day I will die, and cease to be. I'm not sure I fully accept that yet, but understanding that I can't control it has led me to look at what I can control, and choose what I would like to do with the time I have. It has led me to actively making fond memories with people I care about, and helped me overcome the loss of loved ones by not being sad they are gone, but glad I got to share as much time with them as I did. It has led me to aim to leave a legacy of positivity and progress, and help lift others onto my shoulders where I can, so that I can be delighted by their successes; because in a long roundabout way, helping others succeed is how I can affect those big things that seem out of my control.

It has helped me see that stuff is just stuff, and in many regards I am but a small part in a large machine. It has helped me make the conscious choice that I would like to leave things better than I found them.
I consider that there are 4 levels of scientific writing.

1) news articles/lay press - basically terrible and typically get things wrong

2) scientific lay press (scientific american, discover, science news) - get things right, but generally no data/citations or nuance

3) journal summaries - get things right, citations and data for everything. Good summary of the latest scientific thought on a topic. Tend to push a point of view, which generally will be right, but that educated people can debate. Dont always show the data, but at least refer to it. These help you to get up to speed with the primary experiments that were used to establish current thinking.

4) first source articles - typically make claims too broad for the actual results. But has all data. Often times the claims don't follow from the data at all. Generally have to work in the field to understand strengths and weaknesses of methods and you cant just take the conclusions at face value.

As a PhD student, I used #3 a lot to get centered on a space. To understand 4, I typically had to learn directly from my research advisor or other grad students that specialized in an area.

My point here is that you can find these summary articles in journals (microbiology, immunology,virology etc). They are published infrequently so can be hard to find, but they exist and you should look for them.
By disabling swap, you are taking away your operating system's ability to trade less-frequently-used parts of memory for extra disk cache, which could hinder overall performance even if you have an excess of physical memory for your use case.

Isn't there an upper limit on the number testflight users?
The crux of the matter is verifying that the public key you're told is the public key of the other person, is actually the public key of the other person. If you do not verify this out-of-band, then the server can generate a new keypair for each recipient and it would go like this:

- Alice encrypts message using FAKE public key of Bob (she was told is Bob's key by the server), sends it to whatseverapp server so it can be delivered to Bob when he sign on.

- Whatseverapp server has FAKE private key for Bob (it generated that one itself, after all), decrypts message and notifies the corporate overlords/government/Russians/AdSevers/Illuminati of contents.

- Whatseverapp server encrypt message using REAL public key of Bob, sends it to Bob

- Bob decrypts the message using his REAL public key, reads it.

This out-of-ban verification is nothing you can automate or do once-for-all, like analyzing the binary for bad stuff. Each user has to verify the key of the other users. Which very few people actually do.

Also, you make it sound so easy to analyze an app binary. You can relatively easily prove it does certain things; but to prove a negative, namely that it does NOT do certain things is far more difficult at least and outright infeasible or even impossible in other cases (compare with halting problem). This is why security vulnerabilities happen, and a backdoor is more or less just a security vulnerability that didn't happen by accident or incompetence but deliberately - which may mean whoever put it there might have spent some time to obfuscate it even further to make it harder to find.
A state school in any state can get you into any public or private medical school. Hit your marks on grades, kill the mcat (by far the most important thing you do), shadow a doctor and wash literally any campus labs glassware for a few months to get your letter of recommendation, and you can go to any med school you want.
The site already doesn't allow child pornography, nonconsensual pornography, posting of private information, targeted harassment, spambots, etc., and people almost exclusively choose sites using rules like these over ones that don't. (Is it not interesting that we're having this conversation on the heavily-moderated HN, and not on a free-for-all 4chan spinoff? That's not coincidental.) Either the site and the internet populace in general doesn't embrace the pure ideal of absolute free speech, or people accept that the ideal is best deployed with specific limitations.

Arguably calls to violence and ethnonationalist propaganda are things that should be similarly prohibited. I find it interesting that whenever there's a thread about an instance of that stuff being banned, people complaining about the ban rarely defend it specifically. They always go to arguing about some ideal of absolute free speech, but completely avoid the topic of what else that would allow. This setup makes me pretty suspicious of other cases that people avoid specifics and argue for absolute free speech on popular platforms. Whenever a platform bans something that's more defensible, people will always readily talk about and defend the specific thing that got banned rather than falling back to absolute generalizations about free speech.

Someone mentioned benchmark, it was mentioned the authors are working on that. Have not checked the current state.
> things cost what buyers are willing to pay

That's a ceiling but not a floor. Things never cost less than the expense of producing them. 840 per page or so does not sound excessive for this sort of thing--I'm surprise it's not 10x more.

(Yeah, loss leaders occasionally, but don't look for that in military contracts.)
Printed CDs and DVDs have nothing but plastic and aluminum. If you are referring to CD-R(W) and DVD-R(W), these use phase change materials, the exact composition of which I am not sure. https://volga.eng.yale.edu/teaching-resources/cds-and-dvds/m...

Also remember organic != living. Organic is basically hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and carbon chains in molecules. They vary greatly in their durability and may or may not be useful to carbon-based life.
Requiring a phone number may be in breach of existing legislation, particularly that which resulted from the No vote to the Australia Card in the 80's. Those anti-id laws were ratified in 2005/2006.

This tech can and should be using crypto random hashes rather than phone numbers. The authorities don't need to call anyone, let the app and the fully anonymous central db do it's job to notify others that they need to get tested.
Get rid of youtube while you can.

Roku won't help. Game systems let it in. Maybe you can do something with net nanny or something like that but do it now before it's too late.

Don't get me wrong there are some decent kids channels on there. But, there's no easy way to partially lock it down. As far as I can tell the options are sit and watch kids TV all day or get rid of it.

The more I learn about the genetic code, how proteins get translated from DNA, the nature of DNA itself, bioinformatics, biochemistry, etc., the less like a random jumble it seems.

I also wonder why we cannot reproduce evolution's effectiveness computationally. Genetic algorithms and the like are not very good, no where near capable of matching biological systems, even though we can match evolution timescales and populations with our computing power today.

As far as I can tell, we have absolutely no idea why and how evolution works, let alone works so well.
There is some company using CRIU to implement general purpose process live migration (not specifically VMs).
my understanding is that the "codes" are randomly generated stuff, none based on any of the phone parameters. In which case you don't need any address. However, I am curious about collision. Same stuff happened 25+ years ago with famous Pentium bug. Intel was something like "this bug will happen only one time in 10 thousand years", except they considered those 10 thousand years happening under lab conditions, while in the production it hit so hard due to all software that used intensively, like AutoCad, that it actually happened per hour - result was disastrous for calculations for entire teams that were creating Architecture or Naval shipping research that in the end Intel issued a full recall on the entire chip line.
you started eng career with a language you didn't want..successfully switched?
For various reasons, I ended up at a small startup after graduating where the stack is mainly ruby/rails. I was unsure about taking the position but since I was having trouble getting a role and with others encouraging I decided to take on the role for a year.

Lately, I'm starting to regret that decision. For the most part I've been pretty happy at the company and with my team - more so than any of the prior years of non eng work. Otherwise, it seems like I have two issues...

1. I'm not getting the same recruiter reach out that others in my program receive via linkedin

2. The few that I get are always stacks that I would prefer to be in ... never ruby / rails.

I guess I was wondering if it was easy to move out of the stack you started out with. I've written in a lot of different languages over the years especially because of degree program so learning something quickly to be productive shouldn't be a problem.

But resume screening will probably be an issue?
An EV charger only costs about $400. Add $100 or so, if you don't already have a 240v line there pre-construction.

This seems like a totally fair thing for regulation to require, considering the majority of Californian homes are going to be hanging around for 40+ years or more.
In this specific case, the torrent of misinformation is precisely advertising, and marketers, and other types of paid shills who consumed what was good an idealistic in the techno-optimism of the early Internet.
My hope is that now Australians have seen what is possible there will be no going back to the old ways.
It's a lovely story. I hope you have some great memories.

Sometimes I take a virtual wander around places I used to live courtesy of Mr Google and his mapping thing. It is quite nice to see how places have moved on after you knew them.
The Static Driver Verifier is something you can download if you're a Microsoft developer. There's not much of a secret about it. There are papers. It tries to verify that a driver can't crash the rest of the kernel. No bad pointers, no infinite loops, no setting up DMA into some memory it shouldn't, no driver API calls with wrong params, stuff like that. Doesn't mean the driver will talk to the device properly. It just proves that the driver stays in its lane and doesn't mess up the rest of the system. Huge win for Microsoft. Half of Windows crashes used to come from drivers.

(Yeah, yeah, undecidability makes proving halting impossible. No. It's easy to prove that most code finishes. If you're writing a kernel driver and there is any ambiguity about whether the code will finish, you're doing something very wrong. If it's hard to prove termination, you add a loop counter so that after N tries, it gives up.)
It kind of floors me that we're taught science the way it is. Much simpler: Karl Popper's conjecture and refutation. So I tell people that science mandates "I believe something, so I should try to prove it wrong." I think understanding that is significantly more beneficial than repeating the arbitrary n- steps of a scientific method. It's two steps. Keep it simple.
Because people live in a busy world, where knowledge is not transferred with enough love and integrity. And also people are afraid to say "I don't know" and what little they know they tend not to share.

To make things more specific, those labs had uncertainty budget with something like 20 terms for the things they measured. Each of those terms had associated probability distribution etc. They had uncertainty budgets for all the methods they did etc., and some of those where probably dated, done by someone else, etc. etc. Who checks that? Is the check rigorous enough? Are some assumptions made that don't hold to scrutiny?

So it is actually very easy for error to creep in, I would say actually very likely.
I think your phone collects tokens from other phones that you come near. So your phone only needs to take the few hundred / thousand tokens it has and ping the server with them to see if any of them have advertised that they are a positive result.
Indeed. When the excuse of "discoverability" or "providing information" is stripped away, advertising is purely and simply unethical. It's manipulation, often on an immensely massive, immensely sophisticated way. Our mammal brains stand no chance.

I just downloaded a-shell so still playing with it.

What I love about Blink is that it supports mosh and it includes tunnels, ssh-agent etc. out of the box (no need to install anything). It seems very well polished for the purpose of remote work. I have a mosh session open with our deep learning server in the lab 24h (works with network outage etc.).

I assume you can setup the same on A-Shell. Will play with it and update here.
Unless I'm missing something, Prompt can only connect to other servers.

This connects, in shell mode, to your iOS device.
Substack is different in that they are a kind of Patreon meets Medium (with the newsletter angle, but I think on a long enough timeline that's a gimmick). With regards to what sets them apart from Medium -- in short, they actually have a revenue story: a cut of subscriptions. Even this is phrasing is wrong though because IMO a lot of "subscriptions" in this space could effectively be categorized as "recurring donations" since they are more about supporting individuals or small collectives and less about pay-for-product.

I'm a little skeptical about the overall size of their market or their ability to create sustainable revenue opportunities for individual creators in the long term, but they certainly have more obvious a pathway to revenue than Medium.

They ought to be investing in low friction, easy to use customer acquisition tooling for creators btw. Something that doesn't feel like marketing but is, effectively, marketing. That's where they can apply those millions in technology and differentiate between Medium. For these "substacks" (btw this phrase is actively being xeroxed and they should invest in ensuring this is the case) where people are trying to quit their jobs to become full-time creators, they need to come with a story and tooling that eases these creators into the idea that part of their new lifestyle is keeping certain KPIs up and to the right (without drenching these concepts in growth jargon).

By doing this they can effectively outsource their growth to their customers: they take the vig from creators and at the same time utilize the creators to grow their platform. It's a smart idea.
