> there’s an overabundance of ... skilled photographers

I’m really not sure this is the case. I know more about cinematography than photography (I direct) but here in China a decent cinematographer can charge for a day what some workers might earn in a year. And you can tell the difference between their work and someone cheaper. That would suggest to me their skills are rare.
Start by writing very simple C code and compiling that to assembly with the C comments. Then follow the System V ABI to learn what registers you need to pay attention to when calling functions. Start small. Once you learn the simple stuff, the more complex stuff is a matter of using it when you run into it.
Am I supposed to be able to select an option?
Yes! I can't count how many people have tried to use my software (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash), flushing some entire directories with docker volume and creating support tickets and emails as things got broken.

The landscape of tools supposed to solve that problem isn't great. Things are changing way too fast with projects being archived or deprecated with mention to migrate to another solution which after another year is deprecated again. Because of those issue, I've went with go generate which isn't ideal but is at least stable. That proposal would be a game changer and hopefully it will become a reality as Brad is quite a prominent figure in the Golang world.
Is the advantage of getting an allocation purely that the said investor buys the said stock at the price that is agreed upon in the price range of the filings with NASDAQ/NYSE ?

Also are these investors usually the HNW individuals who typically invest Millions thru the investment banking firms that are underwriting the said IPO, so win/win for the HNW and the banking firm in the way that it can guarantee the IPO'ing company that it can confidently underwrite and is also using the HNWs money to cover most of the risk ?

Please correct me if I am wrong in understanding this complex process.
You don't kneel to bullies if you want them to stop, you fight back

If you get a speeding ticket on a road where you believe the speed limit is unreasonably low, do you "fight" with the cop at the side of the road, or with the transportation department in a meeting room at city hall?

They're doing the former, which just wastes everybody's time and money.
Precisely why I don't use Gmail. I know that most people I correspond with use Gmail, so it's somewhat pointless, but at least my use of Protonmail adds some friction to the system when I use it for buying stuff.
The more people within "walking distance" the less need for a parking lot. There are a number of successful businesses in my neighbourhood with zero parking or minimal parking. Many customers can arrive by foot (or bike or bus). Even a small scrap of land can be a prime location.

If you visit the outskirts of the city, there is a large difference. The parking lot is like an ocean. After all, every customer must arrive by car. You need a massive tract of land to have a successful business in such an environment.

Next time you visit a business, pop open your maps app on your phone and look at the satellite view. Note the size of the building in relation to its parking lot. It is not unusual for the parking lot to occupy more land than the actual store, even in urban areas.
Russia doesn't care about the technical difference and why would they? The USA uses satellite infrastructure to exert influence, including in regions that Russia is active in and considers critical. From a Russian perspective, it is important that they have some way to counteract these capabilities.

The USA and its allies finds it very useful to paint Russia as a hostile and even unethical actor here, but there is no fundamental difference between what Russia does and what the West does.

...no?

In almost all cases, these syndromes are not appropriate responses to the environmental stimulus. OCD is not adaptive in any situation. Neither is Tourette's. Neither is anorexia nervosa. Neither is akinetic mutism. Neither is tardive dyskinesia.

(Hypomania and ADHD-PI might be adaptive in exceptional environments — there's some fun hypotheses about that. But these are the exception. Most neurological conditions have no such "advantageous situation" where expressing the phenotype in a lifelong way—or even the constant lifelong potential to trigger the response—would be always advantageous to your reproductive success.)

Instead, as we now understand, these syndromes happen almost always because of random genetic mutations to genes coding for proteins/enzymes responsible for creating, transporting, receiving, and destroying neurotransmitters.

Like, for example, https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Rs53576. Get an A;A mutation, and your brain's ability to react to oxytocin is toast. (And this is common! And just look at all the reported downstream effects when it happens!)

There's no purpose to this mutation. Just like there's no purpose for a gamma ray bit-flipping a DRAM memory cell. Your genes aren't set up carefully so that randomness will intentionally introduce this SNP every so often, to ensure there are some people like this in the population. Rather the opposite: your cellular machinery will, in fact, try as hard as possible to ensure that this mutation doesn't happen (with introns, redundant coding sites, gene silencing, etc.)

And, to be even more clear, these are unfit mutations, that lower their subjects' reproductive success. They weed themselves out of the gene pool, rather than being passed on. Non-functioning versions of beneficial genes are always-recessive vs. their working versions, and so will be bred out of the gene pool. These are un-selfish genes.

So, that (hopefully) being clear: why should my mind listen to the goals my broken brain is setting for me? I know better than it does. Like the fault-tolerant software running on a Mars rover "knows better" than the rover's individual CPUs do, blasted with radiation as they are.

I, as a mind (and even better, I as a cyborg of mind + written storage), can perform the sort of long term comparative analysis of my own emotional states, that my brain on its own simply can't. And therefore, I know things about my brain that my brain doesn't.

My brain isn't a wise old wizard with mysterious purposes, who I should trust to tell me what to do. It's an overclocked gaming PC during a brownout, that desperately needs a UPS.
It wouldn't even necessarily tell you who was social-engineered. My understanding of this case was that CS tool credentials were posted globally in their Slack.
I also have a couple of Lantronix Spiders. I use them at remote client sites.

Some of the models have video-passthrough, which is an awesome feature. The ability to redirect an SMB share or local disk image to an emulated disk over the network is also a great feature for installing an OS.

I recently had seen some article on CNX about those cheap USB video adapters and wondered about doing something like this to replace these old Spiders.

There is definitely a market for a low-cost product here. It doesn't have to be perfect. As the article highlights, the pricing for this kind of product is just stupid.

For a few years I’ve wondered how possible it would be for large neighborhood associations to own a neighborhood grocery store.

I haven’t bothered yet to run the numbers, but I would expect if the association was large enough it wouldn’t add much cost.

Residents could get a substantial discount while non-residents could pay normal prices. Residents could put in subscription style orders for things they would always regularly need. It would make it easier to order specialty things that normal groceries stores wouldn’t carry, etc...
Seems like amazon has long been transitioning spot instances away from being a method of efficiently utilizing excess capacity, towards being a discounted service for less risk-averse businesses(businesses that can accept the risk of their service being terminated at any time).

Even if in practice AWS never sees large spikes in compute demand and corresponding large scale instance preemption, most businesses I've worked with won't accept the risk of having OLTP systems be taken down at any time.

No longer does spot seem to be a service where one can get a bargain for their compute intensive offline/batch workloads that are much more tolerant of preemption.

Given that the spot prices seem to be very flat, and preemption is rare, amazon presumably have a fair bit of underutilized capacity, does anyone know if amazon uses this capacity themselves, or offers more aggressive spot pricing to select clients?

accounts with more than 10,000 followers should at least need two people to change key settings

For accounts that could start a war this might be necessary, but for celebrities with >10K followers this sounds expensive and unnecessary to me.

To me, it seems like you could instead ensure the admin view of every account has a timestamped log of recent settings changes, including changes done by admins, with a link to the profile of the admin responsible, and a button to suspend that admin account with one click.

This way, the security team could've seen that Elon Musk's account had just been reset by J. Random Employee minutes before tweeting the suspicious bitcoin tweet, messaged J. on Slack to be like "hey did you do that?", and suspended the compromised admin account within minutes.

Sure, some accounts might be briefly compromised initially, but it would be resolved in minutes and not the hours that it took Twitter, right? That seems fine for what should be a relatively low-likelihood, high-expense attack like compromised admin account (of course, you have to ensure that is the case).
The oversell is the issue for me. It’s essentially an video conferencing Android app, but instead of putting it on the Play store, they are making you lease the hardware. In the features, I don’t see any exceptional features that make it stand out over any other “meet” app.
Go is not a purist language. It's pretty relentlessly designed for maximum productivity with minimum complexity. This sort of feature is right in line with its mission.
The mixed use buildings you're referring to are approaching from the wrong direction. They're 1960s style office parks - sometimes a modern reinvention of them, sometimes literally a redevelopment on the same land - and you can't get a meaningful mixed use space in an area where everyone drives in at 9 and drives out at 5.

Ask HN: Is it still too hard to get a job at Google?
I grew up coding while I was in high school, between 2003 and 2008, dreaming with get a job at Google. At the time, it was the best company out there and there were videos about their offices, etc. I remember the first two people from my country that were hired appeared on the news.

But time washed out that feeling, until recently. I am close to be 30 years old and I'd love to try to be a Googler. I've been working since I was 18 years old, so I have experience. I worked mostly in PHP and Python, from doing Wordpress to API to some Data Engineer / Data Science (althouhg I enjoy Algorithms and I'd love to work with them)

I have a bachelor's degree on Maths and a Master's degree on Computer Science, although I often feel the famous impostor syndrome.

However, my question is if is still too hard to get a job at Google, or if it has become a bit easier, and if I have chances or I shouldn't even try? For example, this one seems interesting to apply (https://careers.google.com/jobs/results/75841506784486086/), although it requires to be legally allowed to work in the US.

Anyway, I'd love to know your opinion, mainly from people who started to work at Google recently. Thank you very much!
I see things the other way - if it's all in the open, there is no possibility that it can cause issues down the line.

The absence of this allow employers to employ people below their true value, which is not only unfair working conditions, but also unfair in that some people get paid vastly more for equivalent (or worse) performance, depending only on awareness of worth and negotiation skills.

Public pay figures will not only tell you what you can expected to be worth, it will also tell you what the company truly values and rewards (as opposed to PR bullshit). Opening up salary figures means a company must face its own contradictions, if any.
A simple rule that I think would improve a lot of communities: any retail-zoned business (stores, restaurants, etc.) must be owned with a controlling interest by people with a residency within 10 miles.

I don't really see much point focusing on the size of buildings. Fix the money and the other issues will follow.

EDIT: If you think I'm wrong feel free to explain why.

Figured I'd chime in and say that I'm basically in the same situation.

I get to the office somewhere between 10 and 10:30 and leave somewhere between 4:30 and 5, with a generous lunch in the middle.

My mantra is "Do one useful thing a day"

Sometimes I get several useful things done, but as long as you get at least one useful thing done every day, it adds up into accomplishing quite a bit.

The actual "working hours" part is mainly valuable, in my opinion, for being available for random questions or issues that come up. Basically, when can I reliably get a response from you if I need something.
100% agree. Working remote for about a decade. When we added slack before the company had teams for our group it completely changed the dynamic for the good. The company added teams right before COVID hit and it’s been a blessing. It has forced the entire company to adapt and adopt it quickly. It worked. I connect more frequently to nearly anybody I need to. I have more water cooler talks then ever.
I use "new", "comments", "ask", and "shownew"; I don't use the main list. What I would really want is a user option for purely chronological sort everywhere.

A dedicated personal office is very nice if you full-time work from home. It's much nicer than working out of a bedroom, especially if the bedroom isn't that big.
From my standpoint as a one man show, it's invaluable to be able to write the web client and backend in the same language, to share code between them... and have that one language NOT be JS. Clojurescript with Rum/Citrus or Reagent/Reframe deliver on the promise of React/Redux with much less fuss and overhead.

Editing JSX is a pain in comparison to the Hiccup syntax used more often in CLJS, e.g. [:div {:class shiny} "some stuff" [:button "OK"]] - with the structural editing in any good Clojure editor you can cut, paste, entire blocks of tags, or slurp a tag from outside your div into it, or spit one out, all with a few keystrokes, never stopping to find some closing </div> tag.. I guess some JSX IDEs might do this, but it's really nice that the HTML is represented as just another piece of data, not some weird chimerical syntax bolt on.

With Figwheel or ShadowCLJS hot reloading is instantaneous and doesn't even interrupt your webapp. If they're written properly, functions and the app state are not conflated at all, so you can modify any function in your app's rendering or behavior and as long as they aren't incompatible with the runtime state, it will just pop right into your browser. Illustrated well in this video where the author is interactively re-implementing Flappy Bird: https://youtu.be/KZjFVdU8VLI?t=277

I feel particularly strongly about this having started out doing front end work primarily in cljs but recently being falling into using React/Redux for a contract and being REALLY strung out by the tedium of working with them.
Vivado ships all kinds of "IP" for those things, yes. And once you get past the GUI wizards, drag and drop boxes and lines, and Tcl scripts you find in the end it's just a library of Verilog, all mangled to the point of illegibility.

I wasn't talking about open sourcing. I accept we won't have open source DRAM controllers and the like from them. I understand the licensing restrictions. I just don't like how they force all this stuff to be gatewayed through their baroque and over complicated GUI tools.

I prefer tools that are scriptable, that can work with the build system of my choice, that work properly with source control (imagine that!), where you have your choice of editor rather than having their garbage one rammed down your throat, where there's wizbang features like reformatting and auto-indentation... Hell, even refactoring.

Vivado and Quartus just get in the way. There's no reason to tie all the stuff you're talking about into an integrated tool. They could just ship libraries.

Fusesoc does in fact try to make them behave this way. But you can tell it's a bit of a war to make it happen.

> We see this with all those "mixed use" buildings going up in Silicon Valley, with retail spaces on the ground floor. It's really hard to fill those retail spaces.

Yeah, I think this is because (1) Silicon Valley's housing shortage far exceeds any retail shortage; (2) such retail is often added just to encourage NIMBY city councils skeptical of new housing to acquiesce as part of a "community benefits" package, not because there's any actual market demand for retail; (3) in places like San Francisco, there are so many bureaucratic roadblocks in the way of retail such as the formula retail restrictions, discretionary review, and hostile neighborhood organizations like Calle 24 that act as gatekeepers to opening, that a lot of potential small business owners just won't bother. In a healthy market, I suspect you'd see these spaces get used more.
Oddly, our shared social chatroom was most active when we were all in the office. Over the past few months it's tapered off to the point where now there's a week gap between conversations.
Not OP. One may may have the desire to think of oneself as one who lives adventurously [adverb modifying the verb lives]. Yet this same person may find some of the roles, activities, or trappings of actual adventuring; that is, the things one does to be considered adventurous by oneself and/or by others; to be not actually be enjoyable or tolerable to themselves, which creates tension within an individual, which could easily lead to self-blame.

This is my interpretation of why this concept may be a useful aid to help one step outside their own perspective, and possibly help reveal unconscious desires, motivations, fears, and more.

You in effect pay people more to live in nicer areas. If I move to a place tons of other people move to it likely has some positives (better schools, more to do, closer to nice vacation opportunities), and higher costs.

Also if the high COL employee owns a property, much of that difference goes into equity in their home. Which they can they cash out and move to a low COL area.
Some trends decline will simply be because Microsoft already announced the brand rename of Xamarin in the .NET 6 timeframe to MAUI [Multi-Platform Application UI]. With .NET 6 expected to finish the .NET/Mono merger, and a bunch of new investment expected into MAUI (demos included a new "One Project Only" Visual Studio approach that excited some of my friends), there should be a lot of new enthusiasm for the projects. Just the obvious downsides of brand renames is that it affects "Trends" charts.

There is a reason most timezone offset by hours. It is very convinient for everyone to agree on the time when ignoring the most significant digits. Otherwise, you end up having meetings start at 17 past the hour, and be much harder to mentally calculate the offset.

You would also need to know the location of the other party much more presicily. At the moment, I know how to offset my schedule when planning a meeting with a customer in Texas.

many of those sampling heavy American music styles (hip-hop, much electronic music) were very directly and strongly influenced by Jamaican dub which grew out of reggae.

I think the argument is reasonable that we don't get any of it, at least not in the forms we have now, without Jamaican music. DJ Kool Herc was Jamaican.

on the other hand, it is definitely true that the American music industry with its strict copyright has not exactly been stagnant. but it is different.
