I used interviewing.io and pramp really heavily in my most recent job search. I found that interviewing.io interviews were of a much higher quality in general vs pramp which was pretty hit and miss, some interviewers were well prepared and helpful and some clearly checked out after their half of the interview. But I ended up using pramp a lot more since they had unlimited interviews and used interviewing.io as benchmarks to see how close I was to where I wanted to be. Recommend them both!
Regarding light pollution:
It's not as bad as it seems, since the satellites really only show up while they are raising their orbits, and usually only during dusk and dawn. Once they're in their final orbit you can't really see them. Also, SpaceX are working on the problem. They are testing a sun screen that will block light from reflecting towards Earth while being far enough away from the satellite to prevent overheating.

Regarding space junk:
These satellites are in low orbits, so if the satellite breaks it will just re-enter the atmosphere and get burned up within a few months or so. I believe they also have a deployable drag device to intentionally de-orbit the satellites at their end of life, or if there's a problem with the satellite.

If you want to have "deep" conversations with a complete stranger without even getting an introduction first, then you're really not interested in a conversation, you're just interested in presenting.

Which is fine, just starting a YouTube channel is a better (and more honest) way to accomplish it.
Prius and Fusion are bad examples of how much power a BEV can draw back from regen breaking back into the battery as Prius and Fusion have rather pitiful battery sizes and electronics compared to a typical BEV battery at this point. Current BEVs with "fast charging" electronics in ideal conditions can pull in a lot of regen power even in "slam the brakes" scenarios. The remaining trade-off there now is no longer what the battery can pull off of the regen brakes but that in the case of an emergency braking, physical brakes are still safer than regen brakes.

Its really intuitive, if you are going a little too fast you just let up the pressure on the pedal. You don't have to think about if it needs to use battery, regen or coast to maintain the speed you want. In that aspect its like using cruise control in other hybrids/ev.

Good insight -- the incentives are on maximizing number of deliveries per unit time. I certainly hear (and sometime even see) UPS drivers gunning their giant diesel vans down my street only to hit a stop sign every block.

So the interesting question is can operating costs make their way into the incentive structure (theoretically it should be able to with good vehicle telemetry).

Whether it's worth it or not to adopt that incentive structure is another question: is the cost of fuel and maintenance greater or less than the marginal revenue from each additional package? Because you're right, currently the incentives are infamous for maximizing number of deliveries. However, the famous UPS-minimize-left-turns routing optimization story suggests operating costs do factor in as well.
Software engineering must be one of the few professions where individuals freely share their energy and expertise with others.

I think that's true of most professions. The difference between software engineering and most of the other examples you listed is that software engineering does not require any formal education or training, unlike law, medicine, or other engineering disciplines.

I think it's generally a good thing that the field and the profession are accessible, but I frankly also would prefer if there was a bar/board exam or a similar certification process to make sure practitioners are all up to date on issues of accessibility, privacy, security, etc., which do lead to concrete negative consequences if neglected. I think this is a case where it'll never be perfect, but as a trade we owe it to the people who put their trust in our work.

It does make getting into the career harder, but I don't think those changes would make software engineering no longer self-teachable.
In November I was tramping remote mountains in New Zealand, staring into the sky, then there was an extra bright satellite, then another, then another.

I just laid there in awe. After about a dozen in the train, it occured to me that it must be starlink or aliens due to the number of coorbital satellites.

I actually teared up, not because the sky was "ruined" but because humanity had become part of the stars, and more than just a blip. My imagination ran forward to Gibson's detuned TV skies.

This is a great example of what I said. I’ve seen this video from multiple perspectives. It is absolutely not the case that it started for no reason at all. That’s a total lie.

There are no “pretexts” happening. These conspiracy theories are absurd.

From the ground video of this same incident, it was seen that protestors were pushing on the fence. They then deployed umbrellas, some of which were deployed over the barrier. An officer swats a pink umbrella out of his face and grabs it. The protestor tries to pull it away. A tug-of-war struggle ensues. Another officer notices there is a struggle and rushes in with his pepper spray to get the girl off.

The whole time, the crowd was told they are NOT allowed to cross this street. They can cross any other street. The precinct is this way. They form a plan to “push through” earlier, and they chant to let them through.

on the other side, there are clearly projectiles being thrown, and before the cops deploy flashbangs, you can see some flashing from the crowd side - not sure what that is.

You might think they overreacted. You might think he shouldn’t have started the scuffle with the umbrella. You might think they shouldn’t have raised their spray over a combative protestor pushing the barricade and mouthing off from 12 inches away from a cop’s face. That’s all fine to debate. But there is a clear pattern of escalation, tension, and confusion. The cops did not just say “let’s fuck up some protestors!” out of nowhere and then fire. And they definitely didn’t set up a pretext. You guys sound like Alex Jones with that shit.

Ask HN: I have trouble completing my work because it's mind-numbingly boring
Howdy everyone, I'm using a throwaway account for plausible deniability if any of my coworkers see this.

I have been at one of the big large megacorporation "brand-name" companies for almost two years now, and in the last year I have become incredibly bored with the work, due to most of it reducing to "add a field to this class, make a PR, wait two hours for it to be approved, repeat".

In a bit of irony, I have trouble actually completing these tasks because I find them so boring that I can't actually focus on them. With COVID exacerbating things, I am afraid that I'll be fired, or arguably worse, "professional purgatory" with no chance of ever being promoted to receive more interesting work.

I plan on talking to my manager about this, but due to past events that would be too personally identifying to go into, doing this is likely not going to lead to an optimistic outcome.

I guess I have two questions:

1) what do people do to stay motivated if you're given work that doesn't interest you in any capacity?

2) What do you do if your manager is uncooperative with you? Do you quit your job? Do you look for a transfer within the company?

Fizyr: Applying Deep Learning for Vision Guided Robotics
So this is pretty misleading. It's really a full system emulator (qemu) running inside Docker, using root privileges on the container that make the isolation very weak (--privileged).

It also uses hardware assisted virtualization (KVM) which is not going to be available most of the time Docker is.

You can think of the Docker platform itself as subset of the Linux platform. With many common features removed by default... SYS_PTRACE, cgroups come to mind as not allowed within the container. (This "Docker as a subset of Linux" is also what you end up getting from most "Docker as a service" platforms offered by clouds, including kubernetes. I'm referring to AWS Fargate, Google Cloud Run, GKE, AKS, here.)

So don't think of this as macOS in docker wherever docker runs.

What would be a lot more analogous to macOS in docker would be running Darling in docker: https://www.darlinghq.org/ ... if that could be made to work for the entire system (highly unlikely)

Darling is more like Wine in that it runs native executables for one platform as native processes on another platform using a compatibility layer. Wine, by the way, definitely works quite well inside Docker.

Also, one final thought. I wonder if you could get macOS to boot in QEMU without hardware assisted virtualization. Then you could probably run this in a fully isolated container again. The performance would likely be abysmal though!
Yes. As long as the government continues to pour money into the top end of the wealth curve, those people will continue to put it in the market. Under the circumstances, there is certainly no rush to invest it into their businesses in the form of new jobs, or infrastructure projects. And they can't bank it, the interest rates are too low.

Ask HN: Name server to domain name lookup?
Hello HN, DNS related question here. It's easy enough to find the name servers associated with a particular domain via whois, et cetera. What about the other way around?

For example, my domain and website uses ns1.dreamhost.com (and ns2 and ns3) for name service.

Is there a way to find out what other domain names use those servers (or any one of them?)

Thank you.

>I have even more respect for him now knowing that he actually worked on Clojure for years without any income!!

Hickey mentioned in one of his talks that he actually burned through retirement savings (at least some?) while taking these years to do Clojure. I got the impression he had been thinking about it for a while prior and that it was in the neighborhood of two years. (The context was, he was thanking his wife for helping to make Clojure possible, in part by indulging in many converstions about very minute details of how Clojure would work.)

Hi, I love SQLite. It is the crux of a system that allows me to make a living.
This is just Facebook acting in bad faith, and glad to see many employees can see right through the charade.

Facebook cares about its bottom line only. By restricting things, it decreases its income. They don't want to verify ads (my dad was just scammed the other day. I have since gotten my mom off of Facebook). They don't want to lose users, that includes nazis, white supremacists, Trump supports, far left radicals, etc. They don't care about hackers, and foreign agents influencing elections.

If Facebook wishes to be a public forum then it needs to either become a utility or it needs to lose its profit incentive. Otherwise it is a private platform and should bear the consequence of the misinformation and hate it spreads.
Curious about this: dmackenzie/ipcurriculum

Whats the link to it? Google search doesn't bring anything up
No, that isn't how containers work. Containers run processes, as many as you want, each which can use as many threads as they (up to ulimits). Most hypervisors will allocate 1 thread per virtual CPU core by default, and since this is using qemu with KVM then that's likely the case.

Looking at the Dockerfile in the OP, you can see it's using https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM/blob/master/OpenCore-Boot.... as the script to start the VM, and you can see the -smp 4,cores=2 in the qemu arguments which configures how many threads/cores/sockets to assign to the guest. Though I'm not entirely familiar with the syntax so I'm not sure what the "4" is for, but I'd guess threads.
That might be because you've left out CIDER, which is

1) the most popular Clojure programming environment

2) solidly documented

3) built on top of Emacs, which is in itself very well documented (Just the reference manual of the vanilla Emacs is 500 nicely written, if dry, pages)

4) very featureful.

I guess the biggest problem is that most people are not familiar with Emacs, and not willing to read any documentation and guides.

My anecdotal factor in Seattle is we have a set $/month in mind that is then tied to the price of the house. If a house will be more than $650k we can't afford it at this point, even with down payment help. If a house nearby falls to about $650k I'll walk over and check it out to build up examples of what is nice/not or what I like/dislike. The goal is to be able to buy next summer or the year after though so this is mostly experimental to gauge what is out there and identify what we'd like to buy vs pulling the trigger.

40% of those were nursing home deaths: https://heavy.com/news/2020/05/covid-19-deaths-nursing-homes...

Median age of Covid deaths? 75-84 years.
https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-...

This is on par with median age of death in the U.S. on any given year.

You cannot crush the future of your country to extend the life of the elderly by no statistically significant amount. I'm sorry, but that's the truth.

For 20-55 year olds, the core of the economy, this virus is not very deadly at all. This age group is far more likely to die from many other causes.

I would say, fix the nursing home problem. Ask the elderly to wear masks or shelter in place and to beef up on vitamin intake and anything else that would help their immune system.

Then, I would let the youth and young and middle aged adults continue life as normal, develop herd immunity, and therefore prevent a widespread infection next winter.
I agree that the site is amazing. It is especially useful since you can take a day off and schedule multiple phone screens in a day. This enables you to get to a point to be able to line up the onsite interviews close to each other, which is what you want to do to get multiple overlapping offers.

The only disadvantage is that the site did not have enough mid to senior positions and very little focus on positions for engineering manager and above.

Most of software engineering is about the code that you didn't write. There is an infinite amount of hypothetical code that you could write, and every line of code is a liability.

I strongly feel like starting lesson 0 with hello world or any other coding activity is a huge mistake if we are actually talking about trying to ramp someone with zero technical background.

A more ideal start would be to run with a problem domain (e.g. online store/shopping cart/todo tracker) and abstractly work through how you even go about reasoning with these things in the first place. You do not need a computer to develop a strong programmatic understanding for a problem domain. I know this for a fact because we do it on our standup calls almost every day w/ non-technical project managers. Talking about something for 20 minutes can mean the difference between coding for 2 weeks and no code at all.

How you model your target domain is far more important than any specific code you write to implement it. Modeling and planning is the art. Mastering this is the only thing that really matters. The code/language/framework-of-the-week will always change. Knowing how to ask the right questions and being able to identify boundaries between systems will not.

Usually on this site we would talk about how software engineering covers several important skills, of which coding is only one.

Maybe that's not as relevant here.

Pokémon Go: Principles Behind the Product
I think this is rich people telling you that retail (which is literally burning to the ground) doesn't matter. Poor people are burning down their own places of employment, but that's not going to be a big deal for the economy. Retail generally has tiny margins anyways and was slowly moving to be online. Now it's just moving faster. Bad for poor people who need jobs, good for stockholders and people who don't need low level retail jobs.
