I just don't get which world the people who make these decisions live in. I've worked as a developer for almost 2 decades now & some of the best programmers I worked with were high school or college drop outs. And some of those that went to elite schools were mediocre.

I'm sure there is some positive correlation between school ranking and quality of education but it seems too weak & there are so many exceptions for this 1 data point about a candidate to be given such weight. I'd absolutely take someone who went to Colorado State University & has 3 years of relevant job experience than someone fresh out of Stanford (all other things being equal).

Also almost every time I was involved in hiring we had more competent candidates to choose from than we had jobs to fill (with exception of the highest tier jobs, like searching for a Tech Director or CTO which nobody is giving to people fresh out of school anyway) so why do you even need to butter up the Duke grads? Are recent grads with no job experience so desirable in the US?
Parent was probably referring to GDPR, which (IIRC) mandates that employees only have access to the information strictly necessary for their position. You doctor's secretary should only have access to your appointment schedule and phone number, not your medical condition.
Did you feel that your anxiety levels (re. corona in particular) changed once you dropped your smartphone?
I've done this before, it also appears clearly described in the "Start small stay small book" which I recommend a lot. However after running it I found myself a little lost, conversion was not as expected and it's very hard to realize what failed. Is it the idea? or the design? or the speed of the website? or the wrong target audience? or the wrong keywords?.

More importantly should I jump to my next idea? or should I invest more time pivoting this one and pushing until I get where I want to be.

What happens when you're building an improved version of something that already exist? Would you skip this kind of validation assuming that if people pay for the big product they would pay for a small one? Specially if you're not aiming for a venture backed monster but just a bootstrapped small business.
The significance is that this console version is a new release. Note the dates in the update log.
I see, that makes sense, thanks for the additional details, I see that I was missing context to understand your initial comment.
Perhaps the work required to convert a vacancy into/out of a dojo or similar is relatively simple? Sure you might need to put in a pair of locker rooms and/or and perhaps an office, but it's mostly empty space. Would something like that generally even have showers/plumbing needs?
I'm Swedish and while I'd love to take credit for this type of structure, surely this is much older and more widespread? If you travel to France you notice immediately that there's a bakery, a butcher etc. in every town, so some part of it is down to culture and political decisions (like Sweden in the 50's), but if we move back in time this was the absolute default for a very simple reason: any other setup than the "close community shops" was untenable until the introduction of the automobile.

So this model that we now consider exotic has actually been the standard for 99% of human history, but since the early 1900s we have been caught in a feedback loop of increased mobility -> lower real estate prices outside of the city -> cheaper goods which to this day is killing city centers commercially all across Sweden.

I absolutely welcome this change, but I think it's important to point out that the reason it now seems so attractive is because this mobility that fueled the entire change has now essentially disappeared. I can only hope that with increased environmental consciousness, it becomes even more outdated, because I really dislike it.

Here's to hoping we get a future composed of small local stores, and "big-box" corporations with excellent shipping options instead of expecting you to come to them. It can't happen soon enough.

Research at most US major universities is funded from federal grants, not from tuition. A place like the University of Florida, MIT, Michigan State, whatever, is conducting research with government money in a manner very similar to a national lab.
Rumour has it that it's been caused by a ransomware attack (although Garmin hasn't commented publicly) - I can't think of much else that would cause such a long outage.
They will indeed serve any random ebook. However, it comes encumbered by DRM (thus controlled digital lending) and they "own" an instance for each copy they lend at any given time (hence the waitlists they refer to).

Note that many other libraries across the nation engage in exactly the same practice. Of course the legal problem is that digital goods are "licensed" instead of "owned" ...
That is a poor work life balance. If you are alone then I understand it can be hard coming home to an empty house. I would suggest trying to live with roommates or going out on more dates, anything to build up your personal life outside the office. What happens if you get fired? Where is your personal life at then?
Hi, author of the article here. You make a good point. This being said, it took me years to do this "not particularly difficult" thing. Why was that? The purpose of the article was to show to others "this is not a big deal, and here's a practical way you can do it". I think many (like myself not too long ago) feel overwhelmed by the possibility of living without a smartphone. It took a solemn decision on my part to sit down, reflect, and realise it was not too big a deal. This being said, it did require planning and preparation.
>> The majority of Indian and Asian Americans you see in the US are self-selected to be the richest and most successful ones from their country.

This is absolutely not true for "majority." A significant minority of them, this is probably true about, but a cursory review of how Chinese-Americans arrived to this country will probably dispel this rumor fairly quickly.

I just let out a big oof IRL. Not sure if that it’s a bad thing or aesthetic though, to be honest.
>It seems Frankl has been somewhat exposed/debunked. Would you believe he was at Auschwitz for only a few days, performed medical experiments on Jews himself

The Wikipedia link doesn't mention anything of the sort. And the other discussion just points to the same link / "proof".

On the contrary, it does mention that he helped save thousands of mental patients from the Nazis, and that he was held not just in Auschwitz, but in 4 camps (in which case, whether he was in Auschwitz just for "a few days" is irrelevant).

As for the "performed medical experiments on Jews himself", which makes him sound like Mengele, what he did was treat people including Jews who had attempted suicide. He used electroshock therapy and even lobotomy, but those widely used in the time, they weren't some nazi-like experiments (and up to the 1970s in the USA for example).

>and it appears his main thesis about attitude mattering above all else for survival in the camps is simply false.

That's just what some other professor said in some papers. Not some definite rebuttal. You can find papers against anything...
> While most here see some merit in such research - or at least in debating it, to me it seems utterly meaningless

Psychology in a nutshell.
What do people do who have families?
Maybe. I was very depressed trying to earn a BS CSEE degree that took me 13 years (1997-2009). I started with severe depression, anxiety, and ADHD but didn't know it and went untreated for most of the time. I did it, but went bankrupt, became homeless, couldn't hold a job, and still have $9k in loans held by Betsy DeVos' Navient that will never go away. Not sure I'm a good anecdotal example. Got it done, but at the cost of switching temp jobs only to not be hired back because the lab moved cities and reorganized. On SSI disability and Medicare now (which took about 7 years and a lawyer to get), which sucks because I don't want to depend on them. :(
> Most every building in towns is at least two stories with shops under the tenant's quarters.

Compare this with modern (past five/ten years) architecture in Sweden: concrete, "modern" flats with zero expression that mostly are composed entirely of residential units. You might literally see a block of 8-10 buildings, maybe five stories high, that has one commercial unit at the very end of one of the buildings. It's ridiculous.

This type of architecture is killing newly produced areas completely unnecessarily, and I suspect it's because the one time income of selling a flat is preferred over the monthly income of renting to a business.
At a certain threshold yes I would, if it served millions of people. A small ISP can get away with terrible security but once they start having millions of customers someone is going to sound an alarm. A forum, written in any language, should be no different. I realise there are challenges in making this happen but they are not unrealistic.
спс for the full movie! Funny to see the view from Sparrow Hills[1] without an olympic stadium. For a modern clip in the genre, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8zIfaNHiB0

The trick riding is relevant to my interests; I always find it amusing when a (presumably minuscule) minority of US conservatives seem to spend a great deal of effort in proclaiming the superiority of caucasian culture, yet show no apparent interest in either learning to dance lezginka or ride dzhigitovka[2] (let's not even mention adopting one of the caucasian religions!).

(she may have been a bit fashion-forward; https://mega.ru/megastyle/article/istoriya-laka-dlya-volos/ claims hairspray wasn't usually a soviet thing until the 1970's. The last picture[3] reminds me of Shurik and Zinaida's apartment in Ivan Vasilievich Changes Profession. Did soviet apartments normally have that dorm-suite aesthetic, or was that characterising Shurik as a botanic?)

Also funny to see latin characters on sails, but I guess that's an international standard? The motorboat isn't obvious (as with greek license plates?) which character set it's been registered with.

Since someone mentioned earlier that we don't have enough dancing[4] on HN I'll recommend the space monument sequence as containing a variety of styles[5].

I think this is a definitional disagreement. If what you mean by perseverance is the skill you practice to keep yourself going (while overall aligned in the general direction), then yes, I am all for it. But often goal-seeking for goal-seeking’s sake is somewhat coerced on others in the name of virtue, perseverance, etc. The old advice of “do something, don’t just stand there” is the example I am talking about.

But if you have found what you want to do and have set a reasonably long goal (30 years is dedication), then yes humans are imperfect and there will be bits and pieces of motivation still missing. But not many are fortunate to have this goal arising from within.

I like the “shower thoughts” test. Are your goals what you think about in the shower? If yes, then that is probably what you want.

Other story in the same line is “if you are trying to start a startup and you get discouraged by someone and consider not, you probably weren’t meant to do it in the first place.” (Peter Graham I think)

You really can’t not have desires. You can have desires that you don’t want or invisible/preconscious desires, but strictly speaking a person can’t be more desirous (or, loosely, more passionate) than another. It’s like saying a piece of AI is half-invested into its utility function, it just doesn’t work like that.
Or make them actual tabs.

There is no value in owning ARM for its licensees other than engaging in non competitive practices against its other licensees. That means you need to have 32 billion dollars to burn with the expectation of never getting them back in a way that can be attributed to the ARM acquisition. The potential gain is pretty slim because the only way a licensee can extract value from the purchase is by destroying ARM which negates the entire purpose of an acquisition.

More free books:

* Vectors, Matrices, and Least Squares — IMO the best beginner-friendly and applications-focused intro to (or review of) linear algebra. Covers a ton of fundamental ground while keeping things consistent and concise. Lots of exercises and a Julia supplement book. (http://vmls-book.stanford.edu/)

* Mathematics for Machine Learning — good coverage of the most important math concepts relevant to ML (https://mml-book.github.io/)

* Forecasting: Principles and Practice — best overall resource on forecasting that I know of; R focus. One of a zillion great R/data science books, virtually all of which are open and well-written. (https://otexts.com/fpp2)

* Dive Into Deep Learning — can’t personally vouch for this one but it looks comprehensive; numpy/PyTorch/TF focus (https://d2l.ai/)

* Speech and Language Processing — clear introduction to all things NLP, nice flow (https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/)
As a local, I was thrilled to see Scarborough on the Yorkshire coast mentioned as one of the first places where the idea of the beach transformed from a nightmarish hellscape into an idyllic retreat.

I also feel entitled to mention how - at this particular location - things have, in a way, come full circle.
Changing the altitude is fine, with all the electric propulsion that is available nowadays. You just need enough power and that means big deployables. The main issue is orbital plane changes, meaning that in the future, satellite-to-satellite weapons will not rendez-vous with the target but just do a quick approach while being on a different orbit and send/drop a low speed projectile to collide with the target. All this is already possible on a 100kg-class satellite.
They used time zones to illustrate a point. Of course it’s generally best to use that file instead for that specific use case. Now imagine some data that isn’t shipped with Linux by default. That’s the point they were trying to make.

I think this is horrible idea.

Being developer and working with developers (already pretty antisocial, introverted bunch) I see only minority of people can function well working completely remotely and almost none of the newcomers.

Thinking that people can work remotely for couple of months and extrapolating it to years and decades is pretty silly idea.
You want an extra-special superpower? Get a couple teammates and in east Asia or the islands of the Western Pacific, and a couple more in Europe or Africa. Once you solve the remote work problem and get over a bit of your trust issues and get used to the time zones, your team can do 3 days of work every 24 hours. Probably a little easier to add in India or some other 4th node because the 7-9 hour separations are tricky to find any overlap at all, but adding a 4th slice of the world is also a bit tricky.
It gives validity and implies trust.
Smartwatch maker Garmin hit by outages after ransomware attack
Right. So much of the "racism" that gets exposed in the US is discrimination against poor or less educated people, which needs to be cast as racism to keep the outrage machine flowing. You should tend to discount any race-based statistics that don't correct for economic status.

Of course, there are no examples of elite black-dominated universities abutting poor white technical colleges, so it's not possible to look for an anecdote in the opposite direction here.

There's plenty of historic and systemic racism that keeps black people poorer and less educated. That's where people's outrage should be focused.
I was commenting on this thread, where the commenter said:
"This looks awesome. I was looking for a solution like this last year. I budgeted a few hundred bucks but couldn't find anything."

So I only wanted to point out that there are good solutions out there, even though they might not be cheap. The solution have saved my bacon, and has been worth the money.

Looking at the original project, authentication, mouse support and audio are not supported (maybe in the future?), so if those things are important; a solution like the ipeps might be worth it as well.

But your mileage may of course vary . . . :-)

Edit: Grammar
From experience trying to minimise latency of Raspberry Camera stream, two biggest factors of latency are H264 encoding (maybe because it's temporal) and RTMP.

MJPEG and UDP/TCP streaming work better (for me at least).
That's a good guide to follow, I appreciate it. The logging too much syndrome is what I notice the most and I think it comes from a tendency to treat a log file like debugging session eg console.log(). A log file is a tool to help the future hapless developer (could be you) troubleshoot a problem with the system.

So it's a matter of putting yourself in someone else's shoes, but the shoes are a future situation that you have to imagine.
Before anyone gets too excited, keep in mind that the homicide rate for the US is 5 per 100,000, El Salvador (the highest) is 52 per 100,000, and Puerto Rico is 30... closer to El Salvador than to the US which isn't even that low.
No, Asian-Americans count as minorities when white people want to throw them under the bus (Kung Flu, China Virus) but not when we're talking about unsuccessful-due-to-discrimination minorities, and thus earn the ire of white people that way, too.

This way the conservative and liberal prejudiced people can both hate that group equally, and for different reasons.

>But for many people today, "run on native Windows" is irrelevant.

Developing RoR on Windows is still a pain in the bottom. WSL doesn't work well, WSL2 solves this, but isn't widely available. Not everyone could afford a Mac, and Linux machine just throw off majority of people new to programming. Considering 90%+ people uses Windows as their PC, I dont think it is irrelevant or small issues at all.
The article notes that "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" is perhaps not a typical data science book, but it is still very useful. I agree. It is a fantastic book - one of the best technical books I have read. I wrote why, and a summary of it here:

Obviously the specific implementation of accessibility within private home-front businesses is a complicated issue. However, I find your suggested solution of excluding disabled people from accessing small local shops rather asinine, especially considering how particularly beneficial such shops would be.

I am not here to debate or offer specific solutions, but I want to encourage able bodied folks to take the following axiom into account when discussing accessibility.

disregarding material constraints, disabled people should be able to access public spaces and attend public events.
