Disclaimer: I am a Nubank employee, so there might be bias.

Regarding the future of Clojure, I believe that not much will change actually. Before Clojure was sponsored by Cognitect and had Rich's / Stu's and Alex's stewardship and that's gonna continue to be the case just swapping the sponsoring company behind it. IMHO it's only on Nubank's best interest to have a strong community around Clojure and Datomic as well.

About Platformatec I think that was a very different thing, it was more an acqui-hiring, and before Elxir's stewardship was under the company (but having very different development dynamics compared to Clojure) and after the agreement, it was transferred to the community. So the company was pretty much dissolved after the contract, and back then, that was clear and transparent, as it was announced to happen.

The keyboard is critically important for me as well, but you should care about the Ryzen.

Power usage is dramatically lower than the equivalent Intel chip, to the degree the latter exists. In addition to the CPU just being much faster overall, these also come with a Vega iGPU with half a gigabyte of dedicated memory.

It won't play Half-Life 4, but I've always noticed Intel chips being laggy and hot if hooked up to a screen with any sort of resolution, or if trying to run e.g. Factorio. Neither of those are a problem here.
I find it far more insulting, despite being perfectly polite, for people to insist the Earth is flat, than for someone to dismiss them with what is, essentially, an accurate descriptor. I am utterly insulted at the waste of intellectual space and the energy expended in these useless debates when people who lived two thousand years ago had pretty much settled it.
Ask HN: What essential programming concepts are often overlooked?
Hey all, this question is mainly directed towards long-term/experienced programmers who have had a decent career/equivalent experience with regards to developing software and creating non-trivial programs in general. In your opinion, which are the few programming ideas or concepts absolutely crucial to program design often missed out by majority of programmers?

Ever notice how the phrase "I love how CSS works..." is inevitably followed by "but x or y really sucks, is too complex, is inconsistent..." I can't recall meeting a cheerleader for CSS the way you do for, say, lisp/scheme or forth.

It's starting to feel like css is approach emacs/vim level of argument-starting tinder.

Equity Incentive Plan Basics
I think the history of large companies hiring maintainers/authors of programming languages/libraries they use has so far gone good.

Take for example php, perl(booking.com, bbc, craigslist), js(fb etc).

The language needs to be supported financially though. Companies are not living beings, typically its some SVP making decisions. Sometimes they do support, but sometimes big shots do feel programmers are spending too much time working for greater good, while they should be working for company profits.

So it depends on the bosses you report to. There is no easy answer to this question, because many times it just comes to down to one person making decisions.
His third answer is the right one, but he's way too dismissive of it. Founders don't listen to people because everyone said quitting your job to start a startup was dumb. Of course when those people come back and try to offer suggestions on how to run that startup that's now succeeding, they don't listen.

And by the way, founders often do take good advice - they take it from other founders, VCs (the good ones, at least) and other experts who are the ones that understand entrepreneurship and/or the domian of their startup. They hire experienced VPs and take their advice, because that's why they hired them.

Looking at this guy's LinkedIn, he spent ten years at Yahoo and has founded exactly nothing. Perhaps he ought to retitle the piece of "I'm upset that founders don't take my advice."
Well then what would you prefer the answer to be instead?
> Would you really pay half the sticker price of college to receive those social experiences only, without the academics and diploma?

It's hard to break out the costs. When I go to a nice restaurant, I wouldn't pay 50% for the ambiance alone without the food or for the food without the ambiance. It's a package and the sum is worth more than the pieces.

I might pay full tuition for remote college if i'm in my last semester, for example. But otherwise, I don't think it's worth it.

I think it’s possible to approach all situations respectfully but that the difficulty bound to do so varies depending on the parties and position being discussed. At some point and some edge cases it’s extremely unfair to expect polite responses. (Eg. Blaming a Black person for responding “fuck off” to a white person who says “lynching was good actually it keeps blacks in their place” is distinctly unfair to the black person as they are then expected to take and accept dehumanization and abusive language without responding as if they’ve been dehumanized or abused).

If you look at the original post, it says "virtualization" in big bold letters. The precise definition of the term "VM" may perhaps be debatable, but I don't think it's fair to market your system as supporting Linux VMs, when in fact, you're emulating the CPU instead of virtualizing.

More importantly, I still haven't got the slightest idea what a "software VM" means, either. It's a term that I've never seen before. I even did an online search and found nothing.

Not to mention there is little accuracy in these ranges.

For both you and parent, if you haven't found this already, this website does a good job of giving accurate English definitions for Thai words, along with sample sentences from Thai sources: http://thai-language.com/id/133751 (this is the entry for 'ลำบาก') There's also a mobile app, which is even easier to use than the site.

Good luck and สู้ๆ นะ!
You'd probably be happier on another team or a smaller company. If you want to do good work and get paid proportionally, start a company, or join a startup offering equity. Equity somewhat measures the market value of what you actually produce. Whatever you do, don't start coasting. Keep learning and improving and don't settle for less. "In all toil there is profit; but mere talk only leads to poverty." Eventually your contributions will be shown for what they are, whether valuable or not. But that will take time. Do good work. Even when nobody is watching.

Haven't read the paper yet but sure will do. I wonder how it works, that so many face rec implementations are fooled but I don't know how similar they work. I would have guessed they know which features are extracted and modify the relevant regions.

I guess that face rec software will quickly adapt though. That said, we have invisible watermarks that are very resistant to compression or other filters.
The highest-end Zephyrus G14 comes with a high-res panel; windows defaults to 2x zoom. I've been very happy with it, not least since - well, thanks to the Vega chiplet there's no lag.

It also has an Nvidia for those times when you really need horsepower, but so far I've only needed it for ML.
Bitwarden. I used to use LastPass but I prefer Bitwarden because the clients are open-source (including optional self-hosting and a mobile app on F-Droid), the URL matching seems to be more flexible and intuitive to configure than I found on LastPass (more than just separate subdomains), and the syncing across devices and auto-fill using standard Android APIs works perfectly with the mobile app. I also pay the $10 USD/year for the premium plan mainly for native YubiKey 2FA without using TOTP codes.

I've considered using Pass or other open-source self-hosted/synced alternatives but I don't really want to fiddle with something like this quite yet because Bitwarden meets my needs perfectly.
Launch HN: Interactive Go Course Using WASM in Browser
HSL is fine. More people are familiar with it than with CIE LCH, and familiarity is the most important thing. There may be better color systems, but to paraphrase the saying, there are also better alphabets.
Great article. Cutting ec2 costs is important, especially for companies with heavy data engineering / data science workflows. Spark service providers make it easy to spin up huge clusters (100+ nodes) to perform ad hoc analyses. The costs can quickly spiral out of control, even if you're getting 3x cost savings on the spot market.

Some tangential thoughts:

* Is there an AWS API that returns the cheapest availability zone in a region for a given instance type? Or is the GUI that's screenshot in the blog the only way to see?

* I have seen the 90%+ cost savings for certain instance types

* Sometimes you lose a spot instance, look at the pricing history graph to confirm the price spike, and don't see any spike that was above your bid price... it can be frustrating

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/08/32-percent-of-us-households-...

Evictions are paused, so these missed payments aren't having an effect yet, but missed rent payments are also affecting mortgage payments for the owners - the biggest fallout is still coming.
People think of HIPAA as a generic cover-all medical privacy law for some reason.

It's not, not even close, It's a law that very narrowly applies mainly to insurance companies and healthcare entities that accept medical insurance.

As a general rule - if insurance is never involved HIPAA doesn't apply.

If you got a DNA test prescribed by your doctor for a diagnosis or even for genetic counseling then HIPAA applies. It's not the nature of the data, it's the nature of the organization dealing with the data.

I have no idea where this mass misunderstanding came from

I challenge you to stop thinking about FANG and focus on yourself instead.

Have you brought this up to your manager? Have you tried to make things better? If things are as bad and you are as good as you think, it seems you got a great opportunity to have impact. You could improve things and slowly turn your team into a high performing one.

If you haven't, try this: gather data points on why everything is terrible, come up with proposals for improvements, write a 1 or 2 pager and run it through your manager/other stakeholders. Get buy in and then start working on it.
It can simply be that civilisations, no matter how intelligent, do not send out any signals that are strong enough for us to detect from our distance.

Looking for the same. I’ve heard of DeleteMe, based in Boston, which looks reputable but says it can’t remove from certain sites, such as Radaris, and says you have to handle those. Also found a company called Onerep.com listed as a DeleteMe competitor, which claims to remove from more sites at a lower cost, but it looks sketchy (company appears to have an all-Russian or Eastern European team yet listed in McLean, VA with telephone number in upstate, NY and reviews by supposedly American customers are all in stilted English). Keep in mind that it’s important to remove info from all or as many data brokers as possible, as they scrape each other so data left on one will repopulate others.

As far as measures to keep info from data brokers, I use a separate email for all ecommerce and any forum postings; never give your phone number to companies unless you absolutely have to, and when you do use a fake number or only share a Google number when you need a callback; avoid putting any personal info on any public forums and give out as little personal data as possible.

Some other general privacy measures: Firefox for browsing with all privacy protections (same for Chrome and Safari); use ad blockers; all privacy settings on mobile and services turned on and highly limited location sharing only when needed to use an app; use Google and Facebook (very sparingly) on Firefox using Containers and with VPN.
Ooor instead of responding only to people's emotions and trying to control them, you could respond to the content of their post and admit they have a point. We all have choices.

Saccharine positivity is ruining HN. In the past few days I've seen HN posts that:

1. Said a company's behavior only looks immoral, but it's actually not their fault, because they're just following incentives.

2. Said volunteerism isn't needed right now because lots of people are out of work.

3. Complained about a long-form article not containing science, because they only read the first few paragraphs of the article.

The first is a reprehensible position, the second is harmfully ignorant, and the third is willfully ignorant. But all they had to do to get upvotes is say these horrible things in a nice tone. Responses which called a spade a spade got downvoted and/or deleted entirely.

This isn't even "being kind". It's not kind to screw people over because you're following incentives. It's not kind to encourage people not to volunteer during a time when the need for volunteerism is at a high. HN is optimizing for a shallow veneer of being kind over actual kindness.

I've considered just leaving HN in the past few weeks, but decided to stick around and try to change things. But at this point, getting downvoted or even banned doesn't feel like much of a loss to me. That's not to say you should care if I leave--you should care that your forum is becoming a place where people pat each other on the back for innovating, whether or not they actually innovate or their "innovations" are uninformed or harmful.

And sure, this did generate some interesting conversation, but the most interesting thing to me is The Range Planet[1] link, which could have been the original submission.

My fantasies are a bit more charitable: Taking long dead people for a tour of the present, to see the consequences of their discoveries.

As a kid I used it as a way of analyzing the ramification of singular ideas, or understanding the complex phenomenons that interplay in technology. Eg, I would break down how a computer works (from the plug to the screen) to Benjamin Franklin, who would appreciate why you'd want to arrange silicon to make the thinking for you.

True, but it's framed as a war between good and evil. Nobody remembers every storm trooper killed, every Tie pilot shot down is the parent, child, or sibling of someone else that'll mourn them in their home planet and condemn the terrorists who blew up the Death Star and countless other installations.

My grandpa fought in WWII as the commander of an anti-aircraft artillery group. He never talked about it. After Alzheimer's took over and his memories came back vividly and uncontrollably, I learner how much he was haunted by the people he killed while protecting his land.
