> being willing to put in effort into interviewing to progress in your career and being willing to put in effort into doing your job to progress in your career,

I don't think many of the skills I've picked up in my career apply to interviews. I think they would be great skills that carry over to other companies, but I'd have to exclusively practice leetcode to feel comfortable with interviews. That's a problem in my book, because I have a lot more to offer than "Yeah, I can do leetcode problems all day."
I agree. There may be tropes that right now we want to see more, but in a few years will be viewed as "tropey".

Exactly. Agreed to all the comments that trying to find a simple metric for developer productivity is futile, but there is value in encouraging people to ship more often, and in doing so, ship smaller things that generally have less risk. Also, ownership is key here as the person writing the code should be the one that pushes it to production and owns its impacts, as I've found this results in higher quality, more sense of ownership, and quicker incident response and frequency reduction.
No luck recognizing either of these :(

Where are these forks?
I treat language learning as a batch job at the beginning. Works pretty superbly for me. I usually batch pronunciation, then writing system, then grammar, then vocab.

All the mean while try to do as much immersion as possible diving into native materials straight away and just enjoy the language in every way you can.

There are a lot of different paths through language learning. They all work. But they don't all work for everyone. You just gotta try a bunch of different things and really find which path works for you.
This is the part that completely lost me. Why do you need an additional context for each item? Isn't one context holding all items enough?
the untold secret of bootstrapping to date is that is has often been done from positions of privilege: family money, savings from a very high paying career, spouse's salary, inheritance. Very hard to make broad generalizations since the companies are often privately held and under the radar (so no statistically significant data) but my experience is that the case far more often than you would think.

On the other side, I see many many founders essentially twist their business plan into something VCs want to see because accelerators/VCs are the only source of capital for early stage tech companies.

I'm aiming for around 6-10x for real production code.

> Does it ever seen like a lot more trouble to try to optimize ruby instead of just writing slow parts in a different language?

I'm pretty philosophical about this.

People want to write and run Ruby code. I trust they've got their own good reason for that. Taking that as a given, I want to let them run it as fast as they can, with the best tooling I can give them. Instead of 'you shouldn't do that' I want to have the attitude of 'ok we'll see what we can do'.

I do personally really like Ruby and I reach for it pretty much whenever I start a new project.

I watched this video recently about OnlyFans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djMojvschs0

It's more than just the content itself. "Becoming a fan" is a simulacra of a relationship, commodified. This already existed with escorts, of course, but never at this scale.

My personality type is probably closer to being a "consumer" than being a "producer" of content on OF. I don't use the site. But if I did, my status as a consumer would totally preclude being in a romantic relationship. Gonna go out on a limb and guess that most consumers and producers are in a similar situation -- if they're on OnlyFans, they're not in a real relationship.

It's only natural that taking genuine human connection, turning it financial, and then using the internet to turn it into a commodity and producing profit would extend to sex. I'm actually surprised it took so long.
This is hilarious, which is an achievement for an algorithm, and it knows what I'm drawing.
> GPUs do only simple things, but do them fast

GPUs are immensely complex systems. Look at an API like Vulcan, plus it's shading language, and tell me again it's simple. And that's a low-level interface.

Now add to that the enormous amount of software effort that goes into implementing efficient libraries like cuBLAS, cuDNN, etc. There's a reason other vendors have struggled to compete with NVidia.

We have the exact same situation in Europe: if you some of the many words English inherited from French, they are written exactly the same, have exactly the same meaning, but are pronounced in a very different way.
TIL about showdead - thanks!
It sounds like you are describing direct detect systems. These are no longer deployed in subsea.

Due to the advent of coherent optical transmission and DSP, dispersion is no longer an issue for long distance optical communication. The limitation becomes nonlinear “crosstalk” between wavelengths and lower dispersion makes the nonlinear crosstalk worse as the phase matching condition for nonlinear processes can be reached more easily. To avoid this most new subsea cables use a high dispersion design as this helps mitigate nonlinear effects.

Additionally coherent systems have a higher spectral efficiency and are transmitting >2bits/symbol because the information is encoded in the electric field’s phase and not just intensity. Depending on the reach, the number of bits per symbol can be increased. The advent of probabilistic shaping, allows more bits per symbol to be transmitted in higher order constellations. Probabilistic shaping produces a more ‘random-like’ coding that gets us closer to the Shannon Limit and also reduces the optical intensity rms further reducing nonlinear penalties. In fact in optical communications there is something called the nonlinear Shannon limit that takes into account the additional “noise” produced by nonlinearities in the fiber. See:

A submersible time-lapse camera set-up using a RPi Zero, battery pack, and camera.

I was working on repairing an inflatable dinghy earlier (over a dozen individuals patches!) and finally got it working and moving with a electric trolling motor. I can go free-diving from it and was looking for something else to do. The goal is to be able to put everything in the water-tight enclosure on shore, motor out to a spot in a kelp forest, drop anchor, hop over the side, and swim down to a good spot to place the camera.

When that's done, I'll hang out for a bit playing around in the water or eat lunch/read a book or something in the dinghy, then go back down to grab it and then head back inshore and hope I've gotten some cool imagery!

I think that, at the scale we will be building wind turbines, and given the relative scarcity of areas with good wind, having separate production lines will be worth it, even if the difference is ‘only’ about 5%.
In my experience, it depends on what data you are trying to store. Is your data composed of JSON documents which may be partially or fully unstructured? Are you pretty sure this isn't going to change? Then consider using Mongo. Otherwise, the decision may (will) bite you in the ass at some point when you end up needing some features of a relational database. The flip side of this is that it can be a boon to use Mongo if you are consuming data that may suddenly change without notice.

Some amount of future-proofing can be done in the case where your data is currently unstructured JSON, but you may need what a relational database offers in the future by using something like Postgres with the JSON data type. But there are tradeoffs between Postgres + JSON and Mongo that you may need to play with to decide which is better for your usecase.

It isn't news that he is an asshole. The way he decided to handle the "pedo guy" incident, from the double down to the weaseling out, leaves no room for doubt.

To my own surprise, it was a pretty pleasant read and I didn't realize you were intentionally being over-verbose until "overlaying pixels".
More the magnitude of randomness in the total vs "ordered" growth. A truly random stock market would imply an utterly insane economy (avoiding the obvious jokes for now). A company with good current and future prospects that everyone knows going down over time continually while a doomed one rises? One at a time maybe from "glitches" or extreme circumstances. Like say a massive need for short term funds and more ending shorting than available shares to cover it and a margin call chain for the latter. Both at once? Likely impossible even with extremely weird economic circumstances which make the COVID-19 economy look perfectly normal.
wow brilliant article! I always love the connections to be made between theory and computer system! are there any good reads that cover topics like in detail?
According to the article, it doesn't (not that it couldn't): Studying such computational supermachines, I decided to dwell on systems consisting of Pentium Pro processors, so by installing Windows compatible applications and benchmarks, one could see how much the performance went ahead over the decades.
I wonder if there's an analogy between a schizophrenic looking at reality and a savy movie goer looking at a movie. There's certainly something a bit deranged to "movie logic".

This random object can't be for nothing, it will be the linchpin later! Why would that street sign keep showing up if it wasn't incredibly important? Maybe the killer lives on that street!
if it's commission free, it's likely because (1) fees are baked into the quoted price, or (2) firms are buffering trades with their own holdings and making money on traders' losses. you're paying somewhere for sure.
It was actually inspired from HN. I found a site here called helpwithcovid.com and I've been working on a volunteer project with it.

Legally im sure they can do almost whatever they want in terms of filtering/censoring/etc, so I don't think talking about their legal obligations or rights is very interesting.

They have behaved a certain way for their 15-20ish year history, and I'd argue that it was mostly as a neutral platform for communication, not really anything resembling a publisher, and they've gained an enormous userbase under this model. I think this is the correct way for a platform like facebook to operate, and that's in part why I use their platform.

I don't welcome them deciding to fundamentally change how they operate and begin filtering more content, especially due to what I view as partisan political reasons.
I drew the outline of Mickey Mouse's head, and it misidentified that as "male reproduction organ". I don't know if that's meant to be social commentary.

Discord is where my programming career started. My very first (serious) project was a Discord bot back in 2016, so I attribute pretty much everything I have to the platform. Obviously that made me care a lot for it, which means when it became worse with every update it always stung a bit. Off the top of my head though, here are the things I find baffling about Discord:

1. You can't resize the channel list, and when resizing it's prioritized higher than the main chat window. This means that after a certain threshold of width the application is unusable.

2. The developer experience is very lackluster. On Slack you can integrate your application to the point where it almost feels like it's a platform feature (you can even define slash commands with parameters and tooltips). On Discord the best you get is reactions on messages.

For more on this, recently I had to verify the bot I mentioned in the beginning of this comment, as per October 2020 all bots in more than 70 servers will need to be verified. I went against my better judgement and sent them a picture of my documents, and after the lengthy process I tried to use the application transfer feature and was denied specifically because it was verified. Support basically flipped me off and directed me to their feedback forum no one reads.

3. No threads.

4. Pretty much no control for voice comms. In video game contexts it's useful for the leader to be able to speak uninterrupted (muting everyone else in the call) at the press of a button. TeamSpeak has had this for 18 years.

5. The permissions system is bonkers. Some actions are either nonexistant or hidden under items that make no sense. For example, what do you think the "Embed Links" permissions does? It allows/forbids you to send links, right? Wrong. You can send links, but it supresses the embed. If you need to supress links you need to use a bot.

6. Keyboard navigation is broken. If you're on #channel2 of server 1 and want to go to #general, it makes sense to press Ctrl+K, type #general and press enter. You can do that, but it will throw you to a channel named #general in a random server you're in.

7. Lazy loading of members sometimes means it's literally impossible to ping someone, even when they show on the autocompletion.

8. Sometimes you click a channel and it'll be scrolled way far up. You then respond to a message, it gets scrolled down and you realize you're responding to what someone said 3 days ago.

I've no idea if fixing these is enough to bring users in, but this project is important because it'll either succeed or I'll get some appreciation for Discord again. I can't justify using it anymore after 4 years of broken update after broken update.
Hmmm. Currently SEACOM has 500 GB/sec lit of a total capacity of 12 Tb/sec. TEAMS seems very underutilised as well. This is either a play to try and break monopoly or driver growth. Possibly a bit of both.

Legit - Twitch for Foodies

Legit helps you find, curate and share your favorite food/restaurant recommendations with friends using your mobile food photos.

Have a map of all the ramen your friends have tried and vouch for (pinned with photos, ratings and captions) when you visit Tokyo.

See all the restaurants your friends' have tried nearby, wherever you are, with a feed of all your friends' food photos, sortable by distance with a tap.

Imagine having a map of all the restaurants Anthony Bourdain has tried around the world.

We believe that when it comes to looking for good food, Friend-sourcing > Crowd-sourcing, because your friends share a similar taste in food with you.

People are already taking too many photos of their food, but those photos usually just sit in your photo album doing nothing. We want you to harness the data (and meta-data) from your food photos, to journal and curate all your favorite culinary experiences, so that you can share them with the people you love.

I'm the IOS dev building this out with some non-technical friends. We are currently in private beta with friends and family. We are potentially looking for someone to help with the Android/Web version, ideally someone who wants to work with Flutter.

We will be launching through several Foodie Facebook groups soon and plan to eventually work with food/travel content producers. We think that foodies and food/travel content producers are currently underserved by Instagram and YouTube.

Please reach out if anyone is interested in downloading the beta app or learning more about Legit. We are super excited to build the new Twitch for Foodies.

Could you summarize it? All I see in that thread is people complaining about a popular user they don't like.
I can understand your concern if there is no privacy policy nor documentation and whole thing seems like a black box. To be honest, the post on CNX-SOFTWARE was published a bit faster than we expected so we are catching a running train now :) Anyway, PP, ToS and documentation is the priority now. We would like to be as transparent as possible, most likely the whole solution will be open source in future.
To your question about kernels: to simplify it for now, we are just modifying standard Armbian and Raspbian images available on their websites. Complete build process on our side is something we are considering to implement.
I did similar thing to the author about 10 years ago. What I found after completing that portion of study was that I could recognize any character I saw. This gave me the ability to quickly perform dictionary lookups on any text. This gave me incredible access to reading. Through reading I was able to acquire vocab 5 times faster than just through listening.

It really gave me a significant boost. I got to usable language pretty fast as a result.

Semiconductor plants use a ridiculous amount of potentially harmful chemicals as part of the manufacturing process. Most of the material is recaptured and never makes it into the local environment. Intel uses probably close to 10M gallons of water a DAY and recycles the vast majority.

Before water enters a fab it goes through a water purification plant to eliminate any impurities. As the water leaves the fab it goes through another process to decontaminate and recycle it. The process of purifying water is expensive and consumes energy so they try and recycle as much as possible. The number 96% sticks out in my mind but that is an old number.

Simply stated, I do not worry about local pollution from semiconductor manufacturing in the United States due to all the regulations. I would live next door to the Chandler plant happily. Pull open Google Maps Satellite View, type in "Intel Chandler Soccer Field" Look at all the green area around the plant, that's where the 4% that isn't recycled goes. You will also see a beautiful golf course and nice houses just east of the plant.

Side note: as I understand it, plants moved to AZ/NM because they wanted to eliminate process variance. Weather and water are a major source of variance. So they want places that reduce variance while simultaneously being favorable business environments.

You seem to want a black-and-white world where monopoly and humanitarianism are always separate and easily distinguished. But often they are intermingled. This can be confusing at times, but unfortunately for our understanding the world isn't helpfully divided up into clear moral categories.

This cable will carry a lot of Internet traffic and that's going to have complicated effects. On the whole, more Internet access does benefit people, though.

this is something we're definitely working on, there's a few things going on at the same time.

1. The CC app itself gets updates. If you're a purely Illustrator user you might not notice (or use! which is ok!) the features we've added, but it now has the ability to add custom fonts to your Adobe account, we've added new tutorials, and community features, support for CC Libraries, and a new unified search. One of these new features is notifications, which is #2.

2. Our notifications can be a little noisy, especially if you're not a frequent user. In the Creative Cloud app, you should see under Preferences > Notifications, the ability to select which notifications you want. So, if you want to disable App update notifications, you can.

3. On top of the features, there are some update/sync processes that go on in the background that won't function. Our current messaging just says "pending installations" which doesn't cover it all and we've heard a lot of feedback from users internally and externally about it. We're going to make that message more tailored to anything that's actively going on, and if there's nothing, allow you to close the app silently. To double check that nothing is actively installing, you can check the cloud icon in the top right to confirm. If there's nothing there, you can close it with confidence that it isn't installing an update.

Hope to get these enhancements out to our user base soon. Thanks for your feedback! Please note, we do actively track anything we see on our User Voice (http://creativecloud.uservoice.com) and try to engage on social media, in case you'd like to keep giving us more feedback outside of HN. Thank you!
