You mean you have never been part of an interview or supposed acquihire were you were brain picked? That’s happened to me at least five times already.

There is far more to things than code. Examples: what is your ARPU, why didn’t you do it this way, how many bytes per unit time can you upload this way, where do you see the market going, who is still at the company, what do you think of this type of market?

Yeah, definitely game to help out there =)
Interesting data point in this discussion: https://reactjs.org (the official React site) was built with Gatsby. They also promote it to some extent (e.g., https://reactjs.org/docs/create-a-new-react-app.html#gatsby).
Reminds me of: https://twitter.com/mxcl/status/608682016205344768?lang=en

How exactly could a PM interview process (which is just asking you to walk through a bunch of design scenarios) give a stronger hiring signal than having developed a product the company wanted to acqui-hire? Honestly somewhat insulting that they made him go through a full external interview loop. At most it should have been some informal chats of the sort you get when transferring teams internally.
I've had a good experience with this approach recently for a project where I wanted to extract the components of a recipe ingredient: https://github.com/JedS6391/RecipeIngredientParser
Did you read my full comment?
I went through periods of losing faith too. But ultimately, HN = programmers, writers, and so on. What are the chances of any random programmer/writer being interesting? Much higher than the general population, for some definitions of interesting.

You get what you put in. It often doesn't feel like it, but in the long run it seems to work out that way.

You have to remember that HN is so massive now that it's hard to comprehend just how many people read the top comments. All the world is a stage, but HN particularly so. And personally, I think it's cool you can influence the situation by skill alone – a good top comment can salvage an otherwise hopeless situation.
> VMS HELP tries to display all of the commands in a curses-like screen. That kind of works for a few hundred commands, but not thereafter.

Ah, yes, point. I was more pointing out that it's possible to "handle that well" (or at least not terribly; unix is like democracy), rather than any disagreement over how well HELP itself handled it in practice.
The distinction I was going for was things that predate the classification terminology. I guess there's no particular reason not to apply such classification retroactively, but it feels a bit weird considering that in the heyday of these technologies, few if any people referred to them as social media. Seems a bit like saying "let's stream some music" as you're loading up a CD player. Technically yes there is a stream of bits but it just seems silly to speak in such terms.
Oh don’t be depressed - my messy site took five years to make and you would be disgusted at the guts of it. And besides, there are many many days still in the future - I just flicked through my calendar and couldn’t seem to reach the end - so there is time to unlock more for you. Your site looks good, so I think you are underestimating yourself, which is lying Sami - it’s lying.

The origins of the EEC were a French(agriculture + coal) and German (manufacturing) alliance. The other countries were just added on as export markets.
You can use the same technique I use in my tests: sinon.js has FakeServer that mocks AJAX calls.

I think I'd look into a headless chrome setup against my real server if I was doing a large app.
The article says muons decay in 2.2 microseconds, but muons traveling at > 0.99c live significantly longer due to relativity.

It's pretty surprising the article doesn't mention time dilation at all, seems like it would be a pretty important effect for anyone trying to design a muon accelerator.

Is there a way to create muons already traveling at relativistic velocity, or do you have to generate muons at rest and then accelerate them to >0.99c within a few microseconds?
Better advice, Don't attempt email manually. Use something like mailinabox and have everything configured for you and it just works.

Been running my own mail server with mailinabox for 2 years and never had issues with spam.
Yes, and I saw your examples. But do they prove that mail-in votes are:

1. less likely to be counted
2. more likely to be compromised &
3. more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth?

Or are they just some examples of mail-in voter fraud? (Some aren’t even that, still just discrepancies being investigated)
PyCharm, IPython and Jupyter make writing, testing and debugging Python tolerable. Packaging has always been a pain no matter what you use, but just try to avoid pipenv.

Homebrew or XCode updates seemed to nuke my virtualenvs on macOS, whereas I've been able to use the same virtualenvs on Linux for half of a decade.
In the post, he says the deal was going to be getting hired and getting a bonus as compensation in exchange for him bringing AppGet's code into Microsoft and leading the project. That's a very simple deal in which no ownership of other projects is being transferred.

I'm not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure that hiring someone doesn't mean that you grandfather their liabilities. If that were the case the world would be chaos.

If Sonarr was the reason to reject him then it was done out of complete pettiness.
IBM sold their personal computer business. They still make mainframes, and they design (but don't fabricate) POWER microprocessors.
T-7 will be a success.

P-8, get back to me after a few more airframe years at low altitude patrols. It’s not going to be pretty.
You forgot that global warming will displace 1/3 of the earth’s population by 2070, and that the WHO is now estimating that the coronavirus response will lead to 1 billion starving people (1/7 of the population), up from their beginning of year estimate of 135M.

That’s 10x more people than died in WWII (including civilians on all continents). As a percentage of population, it’s 3x more than WWII.

In the WHO numbers, I don’t think starvation implies death, but it’s clear the earth has never seen a humanitarian crisis of this scale.

(Edit: my percentage of population math was off. It’s 4-5x WWII on that metric.)
no, even he's not dumb enough to try, but even so, he'd never get far enough to do any real damage. the courts would quickly strike down such obvious abuses of power. the framers were smart enough to anticipate someone like trump (more like nixon, but trump is a poor man's nixon). he also doesn't have the stamina or self-control to follow through before he'd be right back on twitter preaching to his choir. he's too addicted to the instant validation he gets from it.

the massive federal bureaucracies don't turn on a dime and are still running fine (we have food, power, water, commerce, justice, etc.), despite trump's paranoia around having anyone around him stealing his limelight, including competent cabinet members and heads of other federal agencies. hopefully these next few months are the final season of reality tv government here.
Gmail keeps basic CSS, I once received the famous "I recorded your webcam watching naughty stuff!" spam, and the particular attacker "hid" the compromised password (long since changed) in white text between each paragraph, making it essentially invisible.
> No, this is how Boeing has always operated. It's a cyclic industry.

Do the cyclic layoffs generally occur right when they're supposed to be building hundreds of planes? I think what's unusual about this round of layoffs is that it was caused by all their orders being cancelled.

If Boeing isn't alarmed by this situation -- if they chalk it up to an historic pattern -- I think that in itself is a sign of bad management.
I'm a "young"-ish American (lower end of millenial), and the growth of public transit in my local city was immensely exciting. New trains and bus routes were probably a huge factor in me staying where I'm at, and I feel more engaged in local politics than anything happening on the national stage.

Contrast that with some of the underfunded, addiction-riddled states where nothing new has been built since the 1960s...I mean, I'm going crazy just from staying inside for the last couple months. I couldn't imagine what it'd be like if I was born in and terminally stuck in a town that looked exactly the same for entirety of my life. That's incredibly depressing and demotivating.
“Stakeholder capitalism” notwithstanding, that’s kind of the goal of every company.
> I can probably count the amount of Netflix original movies that I've heard discussed with one hand.

This directly contradicts my experience.

I just checked my shows tracker and I have watched 32 shows (no movies included) that I would consider to be of some entertainment value and/or quality. I've discussed at least half of those with people, if not closer to 75%. I'd be happy to drop some recommendations if you give a genre or some preferences :)
wait for tomorrow - he's already moving in this direction. THese are very concerning times...
I don't want to have to manage it on this level, the metagame kills the experience. I wish movies and tv had compulsory licensing like music, because the pick your music service and they have access to almost everything is much better for consumers.
> What counts as "injured" or "killed"? If shots are fired and the resulting human stampede kills 4 people, does that count as 4 mass shooting deaths? Obviously the shooter is at fault, but these details affect the interpretation of events.

Absolutely!

> I don't believe in post-truth, but "Facts are facts; truth is truth" is a philosophical statement, not a practical one.

Bingo. :)
Also, I think if presented with a list of interests online, you'd be more inclined to rule people in or out of contention. Whereas, if you met in person, you might notice chemistry before you realised you liked different movies and music, for example.
That’s great

A hosting company can be local
Or you could host your files on your computer.
If you host a social network where others also contribute content then you ARE the local hosting company and now you’re responsible for their data

That should all be a choice.
We get it: you are supportive of Trump's planned coup.

He knows he is likely to lose. He does not plan to peacefully transition power after that loss. He counts on people like you to enable his destruction of democracy. He knows that you love Trump more than America or democracy, and that you will happily sacrifice centuries of hard work to get yourself more fascist rule.
Thanks for telling me what I prefer.

Critical thinking is great. We should all do it. Just because I agree with that doesn’t mean I want or need some company to do the “critical thinking” for me.

In fact, the things you’re defending tend to get in the way of critical thinking. It’s hard to apply critical thought with incomplete information, which is what tends to be available when news agencies apply selection bias to which stories they report, or search engines remove results they deem derogatory, or social media platforms forbid sending links in private messages.
Can you go into more detail about which features you believe were copied?
I went through a several years long period of pretty extreme anxiety. I went through sleepless nights, racing thoughts, near panic attacks on public transportation (for seemingly no reason!) In retrospect, it was a pretty terrible time, despite the fact that a lot of things were going well in my life from an outsiders perspective.

I can honestly say that therapy along with a lot of introspection got me to a much better place, despite my doubts from time to time. For anyone going through it, know that it actually, honestly is something you can get past with help.
The only effect the A380 had was to trick Boeing into developing the 747-8, a major failure as a passenger plane, but doing fairly decently as a freighter.

Boeing didn't have the cash to develop a clean ship 737 successor because of the issues with 787 production. Although the 787 has become (pre-COVID) quite a cash cow, in 2011 when Boeing decided to do the 737MAX instead of the NSA it was in a very poor shape: 20~30 billions USD hole, 3 years delayed, and no positive cash flow expected for years to come.

The house was on fire, it was not the right time to commit to a new clean-sheet design, although it would probably have been the right decision (hindsight...).

I should have rephrased it haha, I more meant the act of sending each set of keystrokes validation as a server-side request. No doubt that the backend is going to be the ultimate judge when "submit" is pressed.
No problem. I think you make a good point FWIW.
Not really, most of the time you're probably interacting with the DOM, which is bound to the browser environment.

Unless you use some framework that also works with native widgets or similar components, you're not getting much advantage.
The only complaint I see is the lack of attribution, which is something that is pretty mandatory for open source projects. He's very clear about the situation and that he didn't expect more than he got except for attribution. Did you even read the article?
Well, he is the one that is arguing that there is some linearity between cost-benefit of such a research. So following his own reasoning, as long as he gets 10x-100x bigger payment compared to a twentysomething, all is good and clean.

There are moral considerations to be done before proposing something ridiculous like what he is doing, and yet he is trying to reduce all ethical considerations into a "simple" matter of economics. Life can not be reduced to spherical cows and trolley problems.
As an HBO Now subscriber, I just logged into Max for the first time and was very impressed. Everything I love about HBO and then a ton of large collections covering many genres and as mentioned, many full collections of things. It was already worth it, but this just made it 100% a contender with Netflix for my top streaming platform by adding volume of other content outside of originals, of which I enjoy from both.
Its not just what they are pumping out. It's what they don't pump out that is the real issue. People know the news is boring for reasons outside their control and they know reality is being obscured through propaganda and a lack of substantive information. When the realization of all this isn't apparent on a conscious level it is still depressing nonetheless. Something is missing.
Does gravity require extra dimensions?
We went through a similar process with GCP, which was annoying since GCP was sold as being cheaper than AWS.
His comment makes sense. golang "goroutines" are finicky compared to other ways of doing concurrency (e.g. Futures/Tasks in Scala/C# or Java's upcoming green threads). There are several reasons to this, not limited to the fact that it's trivial to mistakingly ignore return values (especially errors) when executing `go foo()`. Also, there's a lot of boilerplate involved if you want to start several of them and wait until they're completed, or if you want to compose them. The other languages I mentioned, which have superior abstractions to golang, solve the issue in a much better way.
Whether or not you care about Twitter content removal is subjective, but the answer of whether you should care more if Twitter or the government removed the content is pretty clear: you should care more about the government every time. Latching onto "should we care" is kind of pedantic and misses the point.

The most Twitter can do is tell you to find somewhere else to publish your speech. The most the French / German / Chinese government can do is destroy your entire life and the lives of everyone who publishes or consumes your speech.

So when a government leader starts talking about suppressing critical speech, that's a lot more worrisome than Twitter deleting tweets. The abuse of power is hardly comparable. You might even say that in comparison, it's a bullshit triviality.
Don’t put click handlers on divs? Shame the docs feature that though.
Gatsby still has a pretty good UX compared to Java though. You probably do not want to use Enterprise Java with its dependency injection and inversion of control systems even on a good day.

I've semi-recently created a new Twitter account account in order to dive head on into the deepest cesspools of Twitter. The topics and accounts I follow are mostly what I'd call "bot bait"--stuff like Hong Kong, Trump, COVID--and it's been extremely eye-opening to see the ways that people will respond back-and-forth for multiple tweets in near real-time.

But I've also come to roughly the same conclusion as you. I might be naive, but given the time I've spent on the internet, I'd like to think I can tell the difference between bots and humans. Some of the bots are obvious, some of the bots are non-obvious (blaming bots), but still definitely bots. But MOST of them, are probably real people. Really, really ignorant people, on all sides of the political spectrums. There's just these people out there now with phones and a Twitter account, and they're broadcasting their id.
Check out Lunardi’s - assuming you are in the Bay Area. Wonderful staff (Union), high quality produce, great bakery and butcher.
No, you just provided some examples. You didn’t prove that their statement is wrong.
Corporate finance spends too much time sitting around thinking about how they can cash in on goodwill. So many brands you could rely on are meaningless stickers now. This move by GE isn't really a big deal on it's own (at this stage) but just a continuation of an economy wide process.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Will there be extension support?
Eh, you're pulling a quote out of context. It's 27% reduction in EC2 use, which was only 18.5% total. So this only accounted for ~5% of total savings.
Don't forget the CF bulbs are a low tier of hazardous waste because of the mercury within.
I'm not OP, but several come to mind: easy to mistakingly ignore return values (such as errors), difficult to compose, difficult to join, boiler plate heavy, no hierarchy/supervisor structuring.

The Strange Saga of the Rogue Kentucky Constables Who Arrested an FBI Agent
Speaking as a former client of H1: exactly. Our problem was how to get more critical reports to throw money at, not how best to chisel the hackers. We weren’t able to sufficiently motivate hackers to dig into the places we felt deserved better coverage, but would have happily paid for critical bugs in those areas if anyone submitted them.
here's the pre-esr version, for good measure.

I did, I've since updated the article at the end to note this,

Trump to Issue Social Media Executive Order After Twitter Fact-Checks Tweets
My first, and last, instacart experience had the shopper cancel all of the items in my order and then charge me a service fee.

She said the store closed before she could do the shopping. The store was already closed when she selected my order to pick up. Setting the tip amount before the service is rendered is a horrible idea as well.

Shop local at independent stores. The service and knowledge of the workers is worth it.
There are parts of Microsoft that understand open source. Most parts of the Windows team ain’t that (exceptions apply). Reading this saddens me a lot as he clearly got screwed. But this is why any project with momentum should consider growing its community and maybe forming a foundation.

For example, Homebrew and its community/infrastructure is better than and bigger than anything Apple could ever do (and we know how they run Mac App Store to begin with).

When the author said “Microsoft would hire me, AppGet would come with me, and they would decide if they wanted to rename it something else” , I can immediately tell that’s not how you do OSS. That would be betraying to your users and maintainers.

Did Microsoft ask Nat Friedman and Miguel de Icaza to bring Mono with them to kill/rename it? No, that’s not what happened. And thats how significant open source projects/communities should work; not controlled by a single person.
Great points - also, reading between the lines of his tweets, it sounds like the bug was pushed by a team he doesn't lead, so the best he can do is ask them "Please fix this, people are really pissed (at my team) because of this". But to the Image Search team, it's like, why should they do a costly rollback? It's easier for them to just sit back and say nothing, and let AMP soak up the blame on HN. Then they can fix the bug on their normal schedule, without their deadlines being affected.
Just went through this. It refused to install until I removed VMWare Workstation Pro manually. I don't have Workstation Pro installed, I do use VMWare Player though, and I need it for work. Heart-stopping. Anyway I uninstalled it, installed the update and then reinstalled the exact same version of Player. Seems alright.
I've been involved in a site that has over 10k pages and it worked fine. Sanity has a preview feature and Gatsby incremental builds are available now (which I haven't used yet) but should bring your build times down significantly.
Isn’t that true with or without 230? What does rescinding 230 fix? Again, they didn’t claim exemption because of 230, so what does section 230 have to do with anything here?

> Now, you also have to launch so that you intercept the ISS when it is at the proper position on that hoop. If, when you reach the hoop the ISS is half way around the world, you won't get to it. (Technically, you can spend some time at a lower orbit, then raise your orbit at the right time, or adjust the amount of time it takes to get to the right height, but again that messes with the timing of everything and fuel usage).

This is normal, actually. It's part of why it normally takes several days from launch to ISS rendezvous. (Another part is that the trajectory is very carefully calculated to not leave the spacecraft on an intercept course with the ISS if anything breaks) And it takes essentially no fuel - 100m/s of closing rate will let you catch up from halfway around the world in 2-3 days.
Is feeling anxious in a potentially dangerous situation or depressed in a depressing situation really a disorder that needs to be treated? It seems like a normal response and what needs to change is the situation, not people's reaction to it.
If you patented your idea, I think you would antagonize and scare away a lot of people from participating in the open source project.
Living Computers Museum Closing
The really sad thing is that I still don't think Microsoft has actually solved the package manager problem in any meaningful way. WinGet feels like just yet another subtly incompatible package standard.

I would say Microsoft should buy Chocolatey but they would probably just ruin it. (Not to say this is a uniquely Microsoft problem; it's reminiscent of the Pipenv/Poetry/virtualenv... mess in the Python community.)
