Right, it's the right alt, not left:) It's muscle memory to the point I had to check myself doing it to be sure :)

The shortcut to change was definitely something with Ctrl and Shift because I remember accidently switching layout when I was selecting text by whole words with Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right.

Tilde works funny on linux - it makes alternative version of every letter, not only from the current locale. I was accused of being a Russian pretending to be Polish on some Polish forum long ago because I wrote something with a Greek (or cyrylic?) letter by accident because I did something with home directory in the background and only pressed ~ once instead of twice :)
i can't believe people are suggesting to edit this away with photoshop... you are pointing at the moon and they are looking at the finger...
Yes, they're all like that. They call it resting-and-vesting for a reason. I'm happier at a non-FAANG company where I can do more meaningful work as a principal engineer, and won't have to do silly leetcode interviews to the candidates I interview. I realized either I can be a superstar at a mid-level company or a be a benchwarmer at FAANG. Pay is probably 20% less than at a FAANG but it's more than multiples higher than the U.S. median salary, so I'm doing okay and living well.
> Who is really going to be interested in building on top of tech owned by a (new, unknown, regional) bank?

As opposed to building on top of tech "owned" by a small software consultancy? Perhaps I simply lack imagination, but how is this worse?
Getting that to work consistently is a real pain in the ass. I drive around Europe a lot and I'll download maps to save on roaming data and often I've downloaded a place and my phone still wont be able to generate directions for me. I don't know if I miss little spots that are needed to connect my end points or if it is just broken. It's been this way for quite a while. I've downloaded routes themselves and had that fail as well.
In the UK you call that Fibre Broadband, but it's just VDSL2. It's classified as DSL in most countries.

Build and deploy a Python package to the PyPI (Python Package Index)
Agreed. But at least I don't leak their data in return. I figure Facebook must have 99%+ coverage of the world's social graph by now, including all the holdouts. You may not have an account, but they know you exist, what you look like, what your phone number is and probably where you are just by observing the nodes that are still 'blank'. Shadow profiles should be assumed to be just as detailed as the rest. It's one reason why there are very few photographs of me online (or elsewhere). I'd like the option to go rogue one day to be open to me ;)
People moving out of urban cores increases emissions, because they now have to build and heat/cool more homes, and most importantly — commute to work. Suburbia is probably one of the biggest contributors to fossil fuel usage.
But why would you do this passionate activity for someone else to profit from? Why not build it for yourself? And I don't mean necessarily starting your own business but if your day job is something else you put some amount of effort into that to accomplish whatever you've set as the minimum standard for meeting your work goals and then you put the rest of your energy doing what you ready want to do?
That's why there is NG-PON2 in the works. And it's only going to increase further.

was going to say similar things. A bug bounty has value -- and its effectively to incentivise someone who finds a vulnerability to tell you, rather than exploit it or sell it to someone who will exploit it. Its the same as a pen test.

I dont want to name companies and start a war, but the industry is moving in a dangerous direction with some of the other options -- there are companies offering pen testing where those companies have no full time employees. They post the scope, and their registered users can sign in, take the work, and deliver it. Quality is all over the place. And things like confidentiality, data processing, etc, and any way to confirm a corporate entity adheres to their contractual obligations? Nonexistent.
This seems really ideal for ECs and TPMs.

Does this ever get old? From what I've seen, former FAANG hires get paraded around like some exotic pet at some smaller companies. It's kind of cringy as an onlooker. I once worked at a place with executives who had "hire 3 people from google" as a KPI.
This is strange.

In some place like Mainland China you might get hassled by the cops for expressing your views. That can happen in America too but you have to at very least hassle your neighbors first.

The problem in the us is you can say what you want and nobody cares. Go ask for investment in broadband and the cable company will hang up the phone.

I think many Trump voters are ashamed to speak their views because they are personally ashamed of those views. If you are an evangelical Christian for instance you pray to God for forgiveness every day. One of them asks Trump when was the last time he prayed for forgiveness and Trump said "never".

Of course if Trump had ever gone to a church service and participated he would have said the Lord's Prayer and asked for forgiveness. He probably sat through it 10 minutes before he was questioned.

Trump would not ask for forgiveness because he would never believe he did anything wrong. George Floyd was "born again" and for him it changed his life for the better, and I am sure Floyd asked God for forgiveness the day that he died.

And that is it, you have some people who are normally very concerned about right and wrong, witnessing, leadership and people's character and they have gotten behind a person of very poor character and they feel cognitive dissonance and it hurts.

Conservatives suffer the same dissonance with the Coronavirus because conservatives are more afraid of filth and sickness and contamination than liberals, not to mention they tend to defer to authority figures such as the medical establishment.

It causes them a lot of suffering to be part of a tribe which violates what they believe in and if they were forced into a real conversation and values clarification they would not find it easy.

Fair enough, I still don't like the sound of them one little bit though. No one in this country would consider one of those a house though, however well appointed they are. The way people living in them are portrayed on TV/film doesn't help either though.
I spoke with one the engineers at their hiring event last year, I can confirm they are still a very engineering led company.
Depends on the part of Amazon but it is pretty prevalent in Retail. The fact that it is both binary and self describing makes it pretty good for data at rest. You can still parse and understand that archival transaction data from 8 years ago.

The support for S-Expressions is both a blessing and a curse. The ability to write logic with native data structures in it is fundamentally interesting, but it leads to lots of reinvention of somewhat crappy Lisp implementations.

The tooling ecosystem has been slowly improving outside of JVM, particularly the latest JS implementation.

In a vacuum, the support for type annotations, timestamps, decimals and binary serialization make it superior to JSON for use cases where self describing data is appropriate.
CSS is amazing. It's hilarious to watch the twisted ways people will work around it, or spend time making libraries to find solutions to problems that don't exist; without ever even trying to get comfortable with it. Its an amazing and simple piece of technology. Kind of a shame. Id love a real history and critical discussion on the "tools" we have now for web dev.
It was caused by stacking incorrectly in photoshop to begin with.

Black lines are far preferable because they do not contribute to the total amount of light collected. A momentary flash from a bright light can swamp the sensor, but a brief moment of blackness will leave the pixels' state much less disturbed.
Speaking of Flash and alternatives to CSS there was a whole UI language built to run in the Flash player called Flex which had an amazing layout engine. You could - in code - define your own layouts which could then be used on any components. I've been wishing someone would port this to javascript for years. Imagine if developers could have just created FlexBox when it was needed fifteen years ago instead of waiting on W3C.
The biggest issue with CSS I think for many is..

..that they haven't looked at it for years and assume it's still as hard to use as it was when it was new. In any discussion about CSS someone will eventually post that "vertical and horizontal centring is really hard, and that's why CSS is terrible"[1], and all it shows is that their skills are out of date.

[1] Seriously, it's as easy as "display: grid; place-items: center;" these days (if the element has width and height somewhere in the cascade).

I don't think this works mod N. Since N is not a prime, you have no guarantee that for k your base, c belongs to the multiplicative group generated by k.

Take for instance N = 15, you can't find a log base 12 of 7, for instance (12 -> 9 -> 3 -> 6 -> 12). So you'd first need to find a fitting base, not sure how hard this is.

It has been proven [0] that factoring is as hard as solving DLP, but RSA also relies on the modular e-th root hypothesis, which we don't know to be as hard or easier than factoring.

In the end, because of [0] is you solve DLP you solve factoring yes, but we usually don't talk about DLP for RSA, even if as I said I was nitpicking.

There's an Association of Art Museum Directors. Usually, the consequence for selling art to pay bills would result in that museum being censured by the art museum directors. They announced a couple months ago that they are allowing a 2 year reprieve from those censures due to COVID.

"Is all of FAANG like this?"
No.

And even within a particular company, especially very large ones, there's probably variability across orgs.

From your description, it sounds like a couple of things missing, such as:

- candor (does nobody speak up about this?)

- open communication ("of course, it's possible the rest of the team is doing that too, but I have no way of knowing").

May I recommend that you bring up this topic with your team? If you are thinking this, chances are others on the team experience the same.

> the lack of signs of intelligent civilization in the stars

And what would such sings look like? The only conceivable sign that we could observe with our current technology is Dyson spheres. It's however entirely reasonable that intelligent civilizations can advance to quite highly technological levels and not develop Dyson spheres.

If a civilization like ours were to inhabit the nearest star system, Proxima Centauri, and zip happily in rockets from one planet to another (of which there are at least 2 confirmed), and beam radio messages back and forth among themselves, would we be able to tell?
Yes? What incentive exactly are you implying banks have that make them less suitable than other mega-corporations for the purposes of developing a programming language?

Bitwarden, so does my (tech savvy but doesn't work in IT) wife. I'm using it in ipad OS, Android, Firefox, and Chrome. It works great with several different second authentication factors like hardware keys and the Google authenticator app.

One fantastic feature is that you can add the second factor 6 digit generator to a given password, just like an authentication app. When you log in by filling the username/password and hitting enter, your second factor is copied to the clipboard. That lets you just paste it in, which is very convenient for those annoying sites that make you log in with 2FA every 30 to 60 minutes.
The linked paper was previously discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23463812
This was the topic of a recent episode of Revisionist History. Museums, art museums in the case of this podcast, horde tons of material they simply pack away and none of them ever note the actual value in annual filings. Then, when in financial trouble, they fire people and want a bailout. It reminds me of the Rolling Stone article about Johnny Depp being 'broke', despite having earned half a billion dollars. He refuses to sell a single property of the couple dozen he owns even though he would immediately be solvent afterwards.
I think it was like this:

Millions of GEDMatch accounts where opted in to share info with the police, without consent. Also, user emails where leaked, which lead to a phishing attack targeting MyHeritage users. 16 of them fell for it and they passwords were stolen.
The problem with the lockdown is that they don't want to share data between countries so that we can get a vaccine sooner to end the shutdown sooner.
Correct, you can personally share whatever information you like.

But a covered entity may not. And there are many covered entities which are not insurance related. That is all I was trying to say.
Any good astronomy imaging tool will remove temporary satellite flashes without much effort, provided you take a lot of exposures. If you naively stack them you get this of course.
FWIW, big DOD and BioPharma companies can be like this too. It's more like this is just how large companies are.
At this point, a lot of (maybe even most) skeptics don't believe in man-made climate change simply because they strongly dislike the most prominent speakers against climate change, because they often also have liberal/progressive ideas. They see Bill Nye with his rap about gender and think "that's who thinks we're causing climate change ? I'm not believeing in that." It seems like climate change is a right wing vs left wing debate when it shouldn't be.
I see deep learning doing really well for one shot translation of declarative languages like HTML etc. As well as simple grammars like English etc. You could maybe generate HTML and CSS based on English.

But languages that have side effects, such as imperative languages, would be very hard to generate. On the other hand, this is the first thing I’ve seen that approaches it.

I am very worried about the uncanny valley of producing stuff based on remixing other stuff with no understanding of the logic behind it.

Recognizing and classifying images and finding correlations is altogether different than programming. I can see how physics and science can be automated. But programming?
> That's just an un-neccesarily foolish question.

On Twitter there seem to be a lot of people on who expect to live in other worlds soon, and not just to explore and study them. He's likely rhetorically responding to that idea. And I think it's worthwhile to confront those ideas critically. IMO as well, living off of Earth sounds hellish, given what we know now.

The person the Twitter poster is talking with is now suggesting that many people will abandon their physical bodies, and those that won't will live in cylindrical space colonies. He's speaking fantasies.
You don’t need the money. You’ve been given the financial freedom to do whatever you want. And you seriously will just plug away at your job? You can’t think of a better way to spend your time and talents? That’s a bit sad.
This is very disheartening, I used instacart quite bit during my time onsite in NYC for a contract. I don't know why these companies have an initial reaction of denying anything happened, when in the end all will find out anyway. More egg on the face, just own it and work to be better.
GDPR has a requirement that data be accurate (Article 5, section 1 d). This is applicable in practice because of the Right to Rectification, Article 16.

https://gdpr-info.eu/art-16-gdpr/

The initial issue is probably not a violation of GDPR, and not a reportable data breach. However, not fixing the issue after it was brought to their attention is more likely to be a violation.
Yep, my company fakes it. Awesome policies on paper, but they don't follow their own rules.
I switched from KeePass to Bitwarden. KeePass worked great, but I decided it just wasn't worth it, as well as being potentially riskier, to manage it myself.

For example, if you use a third-party KeePass app on your phone, besides having to figure out a secure way to sync it, you also now have to trust the developer of the phone app as well. Larger attack surface.
I'm only using macOS and iOS, but I can't just use Apple Keychain because there are no Chrome and Firefox extensions as far as I know.
I totally understand if he feels this way..his own opinion.
My own opinion is this, as a founder running our startup (catering marketplace for businesses and individuals) for over 2 and half years. Still working with No Angel or VC money, just friends and family funds. With our sweat and blood we tested the market from "Uber" style, events to iterating to various verticals..
The painful truth, it hurts when you can't pull out your best solutions to problems because of low funds, it leads to poor execution most times.. competition is fierce and business means war.
Most founders would have given up before year one with no VC money. I see no harm in YC's cheque size and scaling. Heck.. Covid 19 just dug out some new interesting problems in need of urgent solutions.
My Opinion. Cheers HN.
Am currently running Ubuntu 20.04 live boot on a Surface Pro 4. Considering full install. Depth of kernel patches, firmware, knowledgeable community just devoted to the Surface family of devices frankly surprised me. Now multiply that across every device, from RPi4 to the Nintendo Switch ;)

The inability to change settings or sync data from a local device connected via Bluetooth is a huge flaw. The inability to view historical data in the app is more understandable but still a major shortcoming, especially since mine appeared to be cached until the last cloud update timed out and the cached data disappeared.

I'm fairly certain memory isn't an issue for my devices to continue collecting data, but there's no good reason to prevent Bluetooth comms between phone and watch when the internet is unreachable.
