In all seriousness: You shouldn't remote diagnose mental illnesses for anybody.

It's totally frowned upon by psychiatrists and psychologists, who are experts in the field, because it's actually impossible and can do a lot of damage.

This has nothing to do with Levandowski not being a full blown greedy asshole and now a criminal too. But the problem is really that doing that can potentially hurt people with mental issues.
Ok great. You've made your choice and I wish you all the best.

Niceeee.

Sometimes that Google button can be a weirdo. What was the issue? Was it disabled for a moment?

There is something happening internally within the button component. I think it's looking for something inside the cookies. Not entirely sure.

Microsoft is definitely not a major force outside of tech circles.

Apple alone sells about the same amount of phones+tablets than all of the personal computers sold in the world (https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2020-01-1...) and it only has 13% market share.

The PC market is tiny compared to the mobile market.
Pretty much every Steam game except multiplayer focused games works in Linux now.

It's a high enough percentage that I don't really consider what OS it was built for before buying almost any game.
South Korea does the same. Additionally, they limit the rights of gamers under 18.
I certainly don't think the state should be picking the news.

But they could be paying for it, without requiring it to be centralized.

I imagine a similar model to how some countries fund political campaigns, in an attempt to 'level the field' between rich and poorer parties. Winning votes does not affect the budget next time, so in the case of news, there would be less incentive to produce addictive, sensational material. Obviously there are many issues with this kind of model too.
They could have just wrote horribly inefficient software like the rest of us.
Ya, you can die from swallowing a toothpick too. Passing out from a mask is either a fluke, or a separate, serious underlying issue.

Having a degree or not is different from having a degree with a low or high GPA. Having a low GPA at a University is a worse signal for hard working person than having no University background.
@quantian1 correctly determined that this was an ammonium nitrate blast by analyzing the footage:

https://twitter.com/quantian1/status/1290695231910875136

CHEMISTRY FACT: Explosives have characteristic "detonation velocities" at which shockwaves expand. Smartphone video records at 30 FPS, so the adjacent frames here suggest the front expands at ~100 m/(1/30 sec), or 3,000 m/sec. Consistent with ammonium nitrate, not black powder.

This was confirmed a few hours later:

This was terrifying to experience. Hospitals are being overrun with injured people. We need blood donations and disaster relief. Help however you can.

As a US citizen, is there any way I can help directly? Is there any organization that ships blood donations directly to a disaster site? I suppose that would be very difficult, so the answer is probably no; it's frustrating not being able to assist.
He was the best self-driving engineer at a time when that was worth $120 million to Google. Is the world's best hydrogen fuel cell engineer getting $120 million bonuses? How about the world's best metallurgist? Historical linguist? You have to be the world's best in a field that could unlock dominance in an enormous potential market that is being actively contested and that one of the world's richest corporations thinks might be won in the next decade.
Instacart customers should be paying more for long trips and bulky items and short deadlines. Clarke once observed that “In orbit, caviar is cheaper than bread.”

But that is actually very useful problem solving. Identifying a problem in your hand as identical to a different problem you know solutions for, allows you to solve it effortlessly like one of those impossible smith puzzles with knots and strings.
Narrative That Hydroxychloroquine Doesn’t Work is Biggest Hoax in Recent History
Any sources for this? Wikipedia seems to state there are no known operative orbital nuclear weapons systems:

This seems to happen pretty often with some companies. They should be more careful to not make such silly mistakes!
This is less an issue of biased narrative vs the truth than _your_ values vs BLM values. To BLM, nothing excuses someone who is supposed to protect and serve putting their weight onto someone's neck for nearly ten minutes. Is a stained toxicology report and non-compliance permission to kill? The BLM "narrative" assumes the answer is no. The right-wing "narrative" assumes the answer is yes. This is less a question of reporting and more a question of what is justified.

Thus, the BLM narrative that police violence is excessive is still compelling if you subscribe to the belief that someone placing their knee and weight on a detained person's neck for 8 minutes is excessive, regardless of other circumstances.

Ask yourself if you think the situation could have been resolved differently, without loss of life. If outcome isn't important to you because of a toxicology report, mannerisms, circumstances of arrest, other reason to deny life... then a certain unorganized group of people would like to remind you and many others like you that _black lives matter_.

But alas, to say the leaked body cam footage "destroys the BLM narrative" implies you won't care about reporting at all if you resort to regurgitating clickbait-language.

I am pretty much disappointed from the switch. No enhancement at all. Parts of my preferred music are unavailable on YouTube.

YT Music features a lot of user generated content which polluted my taste lists. Also the search by topics does not work it used to.

I have a i9 mbp bought a few months ago.. don't. Get the i5 or i7. The i9 is expensive, gets impressively hot quickly under load, and makes the keyboard too hot to use and makes a fair bit of noise.

Whatever the fraction of performance the i5/i7 is, anything that's cooler and quieter is worth it and you don't likely notice the performance difference anyways.

Numerous things cause the fan to run flat out, for example crashplan.

It took me awhile to understand how the I/O streams worked, and the complex filters worked, but once you get it there is a lot of power in your hand.

Currently I'm talking only about sending _one_ additional I-frame per station switch at the time of the switch, not always sending them or sending them for unrelated broadcasts. I just object to the idea that it's reasonable for a feed to start with seconds-worth of unusable P-frames, and it doesn't seem to be strictly necessary.
I actually transitioned from dev to QA many moons ago, and am legit dipping toes in management now. It's hard to overstate how much enjoyment I've gotten out of QA as opposed to dev.

There is far more Programming as Art to found in testing as opposed to Production code, because often, you're having to figure out just enough of a contortions to pull off the test you want and setting up your frameworks to be readily accessible and relevant to the System Under Test rather than fitting into the opinionated development framework of the week. Nowhere else have in IT/CS have I seen where you can truly discover what it is that makes a business/system tick. You learn to do more with less, effectively communicate with people, debug like nobody's business, and after you've hit about 4 or 5 different businesses, you start to pick up the kind of knowledge about how things work that basically turns you into a walking test framework.

The hardest parts to bear though, are that yes, there is a certain stigma attached to QA (what, you some sort of failed developer or something?) that only really gets dispelled by being damn good. You will also probably not get paid anywhere near as well as a favour the gate until you can basically cough out frameworks in your sleep. Culture issues will become your greatest enemy, and striking a balance between wanting everything at your fingertips, and letting go so others can do that part, and you can insure the working parts of the human machine remain well oiled and operating smoothly.

However, when you hit the point of being good, and you'll know when everyone thinks that, because you'll end up becoming a nexus everyone leans on; you'll not find a more rewarding position in my opinion. Furthermore, when you find the place where everything just goes right, you'll never want to leave.
The CCP imprisoned him and provided him a cell phone and internet so that he can communicate with the outside world... Well, if that also convinces you that I have nothing to say.

Maybe in the early days, but that doesn't really describe how it works these days (in particular, async exceptions). In practice it's been used as a "sin bin" type for any side effect that we don't know how to model nicely.

This is a long read and the author's English is somewhat strained sometimes, but it is by far the best historical analysis of the HCQ/CQ dust-up to date: Rafaeli (the author) lists sources, actors and analyzes viewpoints over the history of the controversy. The first sentence:

That sounds interesting. Can you list the major technical reasons behind this decision? Also interesting will be if you could explain how Rust addressed those pain points (I have read about the general advantages that Rust has over C++, but interested in hearing how it plays out in the wild).
The DC-X still manages to look modern next to it. Had it succeeded, it'd have done something not even SpaceX is doing, which is a fully reusable single-stage-to-orbit craft.

I am a 1password user, and have bene for about the same amount of time, but I've been slowly looking for an alternative.

Unless I'm mistaken, 1Password no longer ephemerally decrypts passwords as needed and only while used and then scrubs the memory. [1, old but still] The excuse, if I remember it, was that garbage collected languages made this challenging. Even so, there is some irony in them moving away from the temporary, one-at-a-time, scrubbed approach just before all of the side channel attacks that allowed leaking memory across processes became widespread.

This caused Sutherland to resign despite having two years left in her five-year term.

Speaking as a USAian, we are 20 years further along the Global Warming/Climate Change path with no significant improvements. Wealth inequality is worse than it has ever been since WWII at least. Access to healthcare has improved, IF you can afford it. A significant percentage of our countrymen can't. Oh, and there's a pandemic going on that our nation's leaders would rather sweep under a rug and call fake news or a Democratic hoax.

If you live in a country whose population gives a fuck about other people, YMMV.

Same problem as above

> Orders could then be randomly assigned to online shoppers

This would mean people who continuously exceed the customer's experience potentially lose out to those who are below them. This is a lose-lose situation

This means that people will feel they don't have opportunities to improve their rating.

This is a really hard problem to solve in this market, imho.

> In those videos when the white large cloud comes out (likely some form of the air being hyper compressed by the shockwave and forced faster than the speed of sound)

The white cloud is due to the shockwave causing moisture in the atmosphere to condense. Or rather immediately after the shockwave in the low pressure region.

You can see the same effect sometimes due to supersonic aircraft.

Developers are lazy - especially JavaScript developers. They’re not alone - the same issue hits other ecosystems in which new programmers learn that programming should be lashing together libraries, not writing code other than glue. What’s the result? Huge dependency chains. Starting around 2017 I started filtering candidates when hiring based on my experiences with people of certain backgrounds. While there do exist programmers with an eye to efficiency in the JS/Python/etc world, more often than not people from those backgrounds were nothing but performance problem factories. They often met the goals of the projects (“I need a program to do X, Y, and Z”), but failed when it came to issues like performance (speed, resource requirements). I had numerous projects where I (or others on the team) had to waste time rewriting things to show that taking the time to write code with an eye to performance was possible, and could absolutely smoke systems built out of third party components. It just took thinking and effort - not a handful of searches through package repositories followed by some low-effort glue code.

These days, I don’t consider applicants who list JS (or transpiled languages) at all, and scrutinize Python developers to make sure I’m not getting a pip/conda jockey. Sure, I know I’m likely missing a few skilled developers, but there are just way too many shitty developers from the JS/Python world in the pool, so I’m willing to miss good ones here and there. I’ve found that good developers can learn JS/Python, but it’s turned out to be harder to turn a JS/Python library jockey into a good programmer.

It'll still be fun to hear the pilot announcing to the passengers that "We are now preparing for the suicide burn. Please make sure your seatbelts are fastened and your trays are securely stowed away. We wish you an enjoyable landing. Thank you for flying SpaceX".
I would prefer a different term than "REMOTE for the moment" to make it easier to search for permanent remote jobs.

Something like "Temporary WFH for COVID".

I bet it is also more accurate. I am assuming that many of these temp remote jobs would likely require you to be in living in one of the states they have offices in for legal/logistics reasons. So you likely won't be working remotely in the Bahamas.

Ask HN: How do I help make a difference
Hi HN

I’ve been a software engineer for over 15 years. I spent some time in academia and then moved into the tech industry. I’ve worked on a few things in theconsumer electronics or internet-related services. I’ve worked at startups and I’ve spent the last 8 years at a FAANG company. I’ve spent a little time in a few different countries and cultures so I have accumulated a few different perspectives .

The current world situation has me feeling like my entire career has been a bit... pointless.

The world’s challenges seem to be around climate change and public health and equitable growth and space travel and stuff like that. And while I’m quite happy with the stuff I’ve built I’m looking for something more meaningful. I got paid well to do what I did, and I “innovated”, but I can’t help but feel like my work has all gone towards creating more expensive toys and ways for the world to entertain and distract itself.

I guess I’m at a stage in my career where I’m looking for something more meaningful.

How do I go about doing this? I’m not really able to start something on my own right now. Are there companies hiring for “meaningful” work? Are you doing something that you think is solving an important problem and you’d like to share? Has anyone felt like this and done something about it?

Then, you will learn about the plight of the farmers. Really, checkout "Super Size Me 2". I don't think there is any industry where its all gravy. Each industry has its own problems, you can only do your best to contribute in its positive growth. Don't be too hard on yourself. Also, you aren't Ghandi (or insert XYZ person here), don't put too much weight on your shoulders. FWIW none of us really matter, this is a symptom of how North American companies operate.
