Assume for a moment I'm a bad-faith, nosy employer who reads HN on a Saturday morning.
All it takes for me to match up my little stack of current employee's resumes is a person's city of residence, skills, and employment dates. If I'm that kind of employer, that's enough to raise my red flags. If prior employers are named outright, that's a 100% ID. If employment dates are paired with employment location, that's a 100% ID.

I've known employers like this. I've worked for employers like this. Employers are already monitoring social media. Third party services are paid by employers to monitor for staff that might be looking at other jobs. Recruiters make it their mission to know who's looking and what employers are likely to need their services in the near future. This is much of why trust and discretion is the most important asset on both sides of hiring related activities.

Triplebyte burning down their reputation as a recruitment avenue is one thing. Locking job searchers into reputation and livelihood risks inside Triplebyte's own reputation dumpster fire, on the friday before a holiday weekend, during historic unemployment levels, in the middle of a fucking pandemic, is unforgivable. The CEO showing up in person with hamfisted gaslighting (seriously?) in the middle of this self made disaster makes me hope those comments don't get flagged out of future HN search results.
Thanks for the suggestion.

It looks good but their cloud offering seems quite expensive starting at $0.20 per hour or about $150 per month.
It would be interesting to see if EDFAs also do not require retrofit.
> I guess if people had to pay at least one dollar to file a complaint like this, you’d have less.

It certainly isn't free. But if a legal department is a forgone cost, they will love an excuse to demonstrate their value.

I haven't used SunTrust in a while but I know they offered the service back when I used them as well.
I guess they aren’t straight lying about how many interviews you’ll have, but to me riding that line of ambiguity with no course of action or any metric around what a technical screening actually is presented to the interviewee, it’s just as dishonest of an approach in my opinion.
The second part of this is to remember that moving to a large metro area is good for the employee too. It makes it easy to find the next job, and easy to get highend internet.

The candidate can always choose to relocate to make their offer make sense, but I somehow don’t think we’ll see a lot of that.
anyone else think she way overdid her hair and make up for a public position?
Many if not most agreements these days seem to specify charging up front and reserve the right to cancel your service for any reason, so credit doesn't enter into it. I don't know about Netflix specifically.

What seems more likely is that they would blacklist you if you're obnoxious.
If you like SQLite for data analysis, you might want to check out DuckDB https://github.com/cwida/duckdb which is billed as "SQLite for analytics."

SQLite is a row store, which is best for OLTP (point queries, inserting/updating/deleting one or a few rows at a time), while DuckDB is a column store, which means the data layout has values from the same column stored contiguously, making aggregation queries (GROUP BY) perform much better.
The very base model Jetta is <20k. Most standard packages will take it above that.
Agreed. I’ve just dumped my second monitor as well. I’m now down to one Iiyama 22” 1080p unit. I’m considering replacing it with a larger 4K monitor but am demotivated to do this because I don’t want to futz with it all now.
Very exciting! The Monash in-vitro study you reference showed shows ivermectin alone cleared viral RNA within 48 hours of a single treatment!

https://www.monash.edu/discovery-institute/news-and-events/n...

Ivermectin has already been approved for human use against other diseases (as were HCQ and chloroquine). But another problem intrudes: the ivermectin dosage levels required against Covid-19 may be toxic to humans:

"The approved dose of ivermectin alone not useful in treating COVID-19":

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200427/Ivermectin-alone-...

But studies will continue:

"Human trials begin despite warnings about Monash' COVID-19 head lice study":

https://www.smh.com.au/national/human-trials-begin-despite-w...

Exciting but frustrating work!

And meanwhile in Bangladesh they're actually treating people with ivermectin + doxycycline!
Or perhaps the virus did not make way into hospitals or nursing care homes. That's what happened in Italy, with hospitals turned into infection centers. And hospitals have a significant number of people at risk in them. Same for nursing care homes.
Considering how many hours a day he likely uses his machine, it may work out to something like the difference between a few cents and 10 cents an hour.

I do the same when learning a new concept, find a little way to apply it by slightly to heavy modifying the original code until it clicks. I save those to a folder I can reference sometime in the future. I’ve been doing this for a really long time and it works well for me.
I've done this a lot, and I'd recommend using HTTPlug here. PHP/composer allows you to require an implementation instead of an actual package, and that lets your users pick the HTTP implementation they'd like to use (Curl/Guzzle/Socket etc).

http://docs.php-http.org/en/latest/httplug/library-developer... is the starting guide and https://packagist.org/providers/psr/http-client-implementati... is all the various providers you will automatically support this way.

There are other pros: you'll be using PSR standards, so it becomes easily extensible. However, there are some limitations, especially if you want to make fairly complex multi-part file uploads (this might have improved since, I'm not sure).
Given the cost of laying fiber lines across the ocean and this tech (appears) to double the capacity of an existing line, why would there not be a push to get this into use, what am I missing?
Yet there are no aspects of public healthcare that are any more efficient. It could be largely worse because people have no options and are compelled to pay whatever the government stipulates for whatever coverage they end up with. There is no more incentive to lower prices at the doctor or hospital than there is with private insurance.

Personally I think insurance should be done away with and you should pay strictly regulated costs directly to the doctor. However that's just another pipe dream. There is no single solution to healthcare.
Lol everything is censorship nowadays.

This is just wrong. PCs work fine with 5K 27" displays like the LG Ultrafine 27MD5KA.

Personally, I prefer the 5K2K 34" screens though like LG 34WK95U or MSI Prestige PS341WU.
Being fired because you're perceived to be looking for other jobs probably isn't a realistic concern. But being passed up for promotions or missing out on desirable opportunities because you're perceived to be looking for other jobs is a very real possibility, even if you're not easily replaceable.

The Tinder analogy is imperfect because of that, but it's still a good illustration of how just the existence of a profile can destroy your plausible deniability.
I come from low-latency java world (yes, that is a thing) and to be effective in my line of work I had to get a decent understanding of what the OS (linux) does under the hood.

Learning C was a blast and I really enjoy reading and writing C code and studying kernel sources.

C++ on the other hand is a fully matured abomination and I want nothing to do with it.
Now you can down-vote me into oblivion.
The Photoshop binary is signed (presumably; it's been years since I last ran it), so this check would NOT be conducted.

Edit: What I should have said is that the binary is signed, notarized, and the notarization stapled to it, as described here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/notarizing_m...
As in other database systems such as Postgres. Even a C# style decimal floating point type would be sufficient.
I've used Elixir since 2015 and I find Elixir to be unusable for any kind of intelligent domain modelling, but that's primarily because it's dynamically typed and has no concept of real sum types, etc., not necessarily because it's any worse at this than Ruby.

Any codebase beyond fairly small will be harder and harder to work with to an unreasonable degree, in my experience, and any perceived "velocity" gained from the dynamic nature of it is paid for doubly so by the lack of safety you get beyond toy projects.

I'm only slightly more for Erlang as a choice mostly because it's simpler than Elixir and doesn't have as much obfuscation of logic added to it that Elixir does, but in reality it's also a bad choice for any bigger system. The runtime is absolutely great, but the languages on it are generally not good enough.
Also, FB's potential employee base is larger now. Folks that wouldn't move to SV proper but are in Bakersfield or Truckee can now be in that programming base.

Increased supply of workers means that prices/salaries will drop, likely.

I wrote something very similar recently, also a single-pass, but with a trivial internal representation:

https://github.com/skx/math-compiler

The real difference between the compiler in the example, and mine, is that I handle floating-point operations and also explicitly use printf to show the output. (Because otherwise your return value is limited to an 8bit number.)
The improvement here seems to be "single chip" source.
BCG seems to prime the immune system in non-specific ways, although IIRC the exact mechanism is still not well understood.

There is a trial in New Zealand, I think, to test whether it gives protection or not. Not sure if they'll be able to finish, given the virus was aggressively stomped there.

One counter point to elixir is that there's a significant learning wall to onboard new developers, more so than simpler a language like Go or Python.
Show HN: Android App: Live Closer
Good day, I have been working on a project the past few months, and recently released my Android app to help people live closer to their interests.
It's called Live Closer - Cut the Commute.
This will help reduce traffic, saving people time and in the end lowering our carbon footprint to save the environment.

I'm a one man, part time coder, making use of Flutter, which I started in November last year, so any help and advise how to make this work will be much appreciated. Growing a user base to allow other users to actually get results when joining is a challenge.

Please check it out and let me know what you think?
Link to the website below as Google play URL gets cut off on post so please find it via website.

Thanks.

Is the article really about Java Web Toolkit?
The rate of infection largely depends on the initial rate of growth within the country, which in turn depends mainly on cultural and environmental factors.

This spreadsheet

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AeG07Bt1fOA-msWYb9jW...

compares two countries, each starting at an initial observed death rate of 1.0 / million. (The rate of growth here is (1 + Rt / serialInterval) or about the average daily spread to others)

The first country has a higher daily growth rate and locks down immediately, starting a process that will have its final effect on the deaths per million in 18 days.

The second country delays lockdown by 30 days and needs to do far fewer changes to reduce the growth rate to 1.01, and yet it doesn't surpass the deaths per million of the first.

You can get an approximation of (1 + Rt / serialInterval) but delayed by about 18 days if you look at the ratio of total deaths between two days (will need to be smoothed due to reporting variations). If you want a more realistic model you can get the same thing by tweaking R0 and intervention strengths/delays at https://covid19-scenarios.org/

This is a simplification (since it assumes that the entire population is a spreader rather than those infected 3-6 days before) but the conclusion doesn't change when you make the model more complex, and it explains why different countries seem to be doing so differently. The initial rate of growth completely dominates any other factors.

This image generated with covid-scenarios: https://imgur.com/a/BRpkb0I describes the variation in infected depending on R0 given everything else is the same with 2.5 being the average, 2.0 the lower bound and 3.0 being the upper bound.

Water vapor might work. It takes ~3MJ to boil a liter of water from room temperature, so if the drone can put water into the laser path somehow, it may slow down the process significantly. Also depends on how long the laser can keep up the firing.
When you're mentioning AlphaGo, you're committing a fallacy that's so famous that it has a name and a wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox). The things that are easy for humans are very different from those that are easy for robots.
They said game streaming, which makes me think s/he's talking about things like Twitch and Mixer, livestreaming platforms that do depend on throughput for high quality video.

How do you evaluate cost without knowing usage patterns?
1. It's unethical to threaten to sue without an actual intention of suing - lawyers can be disciplined for that.

2. Once you sue, you can't dismiss unilaterally once the other side has responded. They can reasonably say "we put money into fighting this - you can't withdraw unless you do it with prejudice, which means you can't bring the same suit again." If there's a dismissal of any kind, that could be submitted to GitHub and they'd be permitted to reinstate the content, unless the court specifically said otherwise. The statute doesn't explicitly say this, but it talks about a lawsuit being filed to restrain infringement - it's obvious that if such a lawsuit is dismissed then that provision is no longer satisfied. I'm satisfied any judge looking at this would agree with my interpretation.

Why naive? That's the experience of all of us with SQLite.
Rectntly I replied to what's your quarantine project a domain name I registered for when I get around to playing with it. That prompted me to follow through enough to make a prototype. Now I'm adding some sort of wiki-like editing expanding on the original goal.
Japan barely did any testing at all, the virus is bound to have spread much further than numbers would lead to believe.

The difference is probably due to cases being mild or asymptomatic. Even older people are generally healthy, there are very few obese people in Japan and Vitamin D deficiency is relatively rare.

I find insurance companies are always dangling discount offers they say will save you money if you have multiple policies. I eventually decided it was a big mistake, because if you have multiple, or all, your policies with one company, you're just advertising to them that you value convenience and simplicity over shopping around. So you may get a discount line item, but you will end up paying much more.

Firecracker uses KVM to implement virtualization to launch containers inside "micro" VMs. As far as I know, Amazon only gives you virtualization extension access on bare metal instances.
This isn't IoT, it's bluetooth, and works fine without an internet connection.
Fair points.

I hope the process goes well! Doing what you are doing is really difficult and I have lots of respect for those who try!
There are also operational concerns here. Dropping columns may require rebuilding indices, which can have a high cost that isn't worth paying for just to keep the schema clean.
Ask HN: Is anyone still using bare-metal EC2?
Done several job interviews where people are griping about their container setup or how expensive heroku is, or how kubernetes is hard, etc. For a lot of these companies, they’re just hosting websites and this seems like overkill.

Is anyone just running good old EC2 instances and deploying apps that way?
Ah ok, so according to the article (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-16265-x.pdf),

> To dramatically increase bandwidthcapacity, ultrahigh capacity transmission links employ massivelyparallel wavelength division multiplexing

and

> All of this is driving the need forincreasingly compact, low-cost and energy-efficient solutions

and

> The ability to supply all wavelengths with a single, compact integrated chip,replacing many parallel lasers, will offer the greatest benefits

So it's not really so much news in the sense that existing speeds over fiber have been improved, but instead in the sense that the speed produced by this single chip is a viable compact, low-cost and energy-efficient alternative to many parallel chips
And how many companies are successful either because they started on AWS until they found product market fit and they were capitalized well enough to migrate off (Dropbox) or are successfully running their entire business at scale on AWS (Netflix).

How many companies fail because they run out funding - period?
This is a hash designed for non-cryptographic use, like in hash tables or bloom filters. You can tell by their small output size, which greatly reduces the cost of a brute-force collision search. It's also in the linked readme.

Hash function families with a similar target usecase include:
cityhash, falkhash, farmhash, FNV, meowhash, metrohash, murmur, t1ha, wyhash, xxh.

The SMHasher suite tests hash functions for speed, distribution, bias, and collisions. This function ranks well in those tests.

There should really be a browser-managed 'tainted' flag on any tab opened from an email that prevents password input. Or if not prevents, at least a scary warning click through like an unsigned certificate creates, which at least shows the true full domain name.

Whenever it read about phishing it seems insane we have a system that requires human judgement for this task. If there isn't a deterministic strategy to detect it, how could the user ever reliably succeed? And if there is such a strategy, it should be done by the mail server, mail client, and browser.

Even an extension doing this might work in a corporate context. That makes me wonder if companies do their own extensions to enhance the browser for their needs. If all your employees are using web browsers for multiple hours per day it might really be worth it.
I have this funny idea about a waveguide interconnect, where MIMO radios address each other inside the manifold. You could get pretty decent bus width through e.g QAM and with beam steering probably simultaneous data links.

Of course it could be made to look cool as hell, complex microwave plumbing with integrated heatsink replacing a plain old mainboard. :)

When you are angry you breathe fast, when you’re relaxed you breathe slowly, you must have noticed that. Emotions affect breathing. The reverse is also true, if you control your breathing you can control your emotions/feelings and overall physical well being.
LG does not support non apple software/hardware for that monitor. You can hack your PC with TB cards and special motherboards that support these cards to show signal, sometimes. This is far away from "works fine".
Paranoia pays off again.

This isn't the kind of thing that we're going to see in home internet for a long time. The newest WiFi standard is only 10Gbps at best, and routers and wired standards aren't affordable over 10Gbps yet either for home use. For internet connections, there are currently already consumer standards that can do 10Gbps symmetric (like NG-PON2) which hopefully we see being deployed more widely soon. Even in 15 years I would be surprised if the high-end of available speeds for home connections are more than 2-5x that (Of course, companies that can pay for dedicated links can already get 100Gbps+ today).

The technology in the article, if commercially practical, would first go in to carrier networks and the larger enterprise market for backhaul transit links in the next few years, then over time filter down to general enterprise networking.

Even if transit providers upgrade, it wouldn't actually be a noticeable change, because they can already do this kind of link, just with a rack with dozens of laser modules that are optically multiplexed together. This does that in a single chip which would reduce cost a lot.
Land of Lisp? I don't remember if that's how I came across graphviz, but it was my introduction to generating svg.
As a concrete example I wrote a simple interpreter a while back, in golang. Operations would be compiled to a simple bytecode which would be executed at runtime. So:

3 + 4

Would get "compiled" to:

PUSH_INT 3
PUSH_INT 4
OP_PLUS

As you can imagine this was a virtual stack-machine. After a while I started folding these operations:

* If there was a "push int"

* And another "push int"

* And a maths operation.

* Then replace.

So in my case I'd first generate the naive version, then have a separate "optimise" pass which would rewrite the program:

PUSH_INT 7
NOP
NOP
NOP
NOP

A later optimization pass would remove consecutive NOP operations. I made a brief blog-post here:

https://blog.steve.fi/adventures_optimizing_a_bytecode_based...

There were a couple of bugs found along the way, but the actual implementation of this optimization pass was pretty simple:

https://github.com/skx/evalfilter/pull/66/files

The biggest issue I had to face was that "1 + 3 => 4" is trivial, but my virtual machine only supports loading integers. So I couldn't collapse "2 * 3.3" into the constant "6.6".
We don't have a lockdown because it's unconstitutional. The situation where there's no lockdown and non-essential businesses that defect against society by remaining open are financially rewarded is motivating talk of fixing the constitution to allow lockdowns.
