I thought so, I tried with 2 different external harddrives, but then I noticed transferring on my desktop between 2 internal drives had the same issue. Copying to the same drive / different partition appeared to be OK.

I posted on pop_os on reddit and they were gonna help me but I ended up down a rabbit hole which resulted in me on Kubuntu without any issues other than a couple of UI issues which I can live with, and eventually fix.

You must be joking. Please - tell me you are joking. It's hard to believe an educated adult could actually say what you are saying with a straight face.

EDIT: someone else here said it better: "The idea that Marxists are subverting Western society is a delusional theory pushed by far-right lunatics."

Good idea, will scope Zoho out
Yea. I have three of them for my condo. One for the "wet-rooms" (bath and such), one for the electrical stove in the kitchen, and one for the rest. Though it wasn't so initially. Got upgraded about 10 years ago. Now the breaker box says 400v 63A and I wonder how I ever reasonably could use that here.
I would love to receive some feedback on this if someone had some time. I completed MVP in a month, but polishing it took about 4 months( after hours and weekends). Still not finished though. I am planning to add more Note apps integrations as they open their APIs. Thank you.

They are broadly correlated, yes, but you can absolutely spend 20 years learning nothing and 1 learning a lot. Do you think that the writer of this article has not earned their title? If you didn't know about the number of years, would you still come to the same conclusion?

Maybe another way of putting this is - leaving aside the word "senior," do you agree that the writer of this article has some skills that people new to the industry do not?

>a) the textbook answer for not enough sales is to add sales power

Yes, but ff your lead generation isn't working, or if the current sales team can't turn them into clients, then the problem isn't lack of sales power. You could throw 10 sales guys at this problem and still get the same results, because your conversion rate is 0%.

b)any important function should have at least 2 ppl (so if one is at a trade fair, sick holiday etc, the other can continue) and also the team can discuss ideas how to progress

I understand that, but for some companies that's a luxury they can't afford - they need something to sustain that person. Else every business would start with 2 of each role, because every role is important.

In my opinion, if the marketing/sales isn't working properly, they need to fix that first. Throwing more people at the problem won't fix it.
No word as to which models PSA will install, nor the efficiency of the battery packs or the involvement of Total in this JV.

C never had a stable ABI to start with.

That is a misconception from developers that don't understand C ABI == OS ABI, on OSes that happen to be written in C.

There is no C ABI on IBM and Unisys mainframes, Android, ChromeOS, WebAssembly and plenty of other OSes written in other languages.

OS/2 SOM, Windows COM and UWP are ways to achieve a compromise regarding how to expose a C++ ABI in a language neutral way. And stuff like gRPC also allows for something similar with inProcess calls.

Many of those better languages depend on LLVM, so no C++ is not going nowhere for the foreseeable future.

Where do you draw the line?

When do you learn about the JVM in a Java environment? At what point should you dig into be Ruby source code?

At some point you have to treat the abstraction below you as a black box.

I've personally found it helpful to accept the black box and only dig in after I've gained more experience or at the point I feel like a lack of understanding is getting in my way.
Heard good things about https://www.zoho.com/
From the letter: Any regulation needs to encourage comprehensive content responsibility, meaning companies are accountable for ensuring their practices and processes do not give undue amplification to harmful and illegal content.

Does the same viral amplification of normal content become "undue" when applied to "harmful" (I'm sure the definition won't be abused!) content? Meaning platforms will have to preemptively police and suppress such content, or be held liable?

I would have expected a company supposedly devoted to user freedom such as Mozilla to know better than to endorse censorship through vague messaging like this.

>We, non-native speakers, must be really careful about using words in our own language that may sound offensive in the other language. What a world we created :(

And it's in English as well. Growing up in Europe but heavily influenced by American Music, Movies, TV and Internet one grows up thinking that N----- or Nigga is fine to use. You hear it all the time, especially in music.

Couple that with the fact that we don't really have "career-ending words" in Europe and it leads to a lot of awkward moments. You can't even say the word, and Americans tend to censor the word even when anonymously typing it online. I did because this is an American forum, but it's really weird to see to be honest. You can't even say the word as part of a debate over the word.

A while back a Dutch coach was forced to resign after using the word because it was in a song: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/feb/18/fc-cincinna...

I ended up using m4b-tools to organize and tags files in folders with Plex as front end and Prologue (iOS) as my preferred player.
And in my experience it takes two, if you're good at what you do. You probably get more responsibility for systems that deeply affect people's lives and the world around us as a new grad at Facebook than as a mechanical engineer, which is probably part of it. And you probably do pick up more skills about building reliable systems, threat modeling, product planning, etc., all of which would be transferrable to other types of engineering. It's unfair that people working on a global CDN can see the results of their work in seconds and people working on a military weapons contract see the results of their work in years, but it's true.

Simplify Calculus for Machine Learning with SymPy
Technically small town's not an oxymoron, since the two don't contradict each-other. :-)
Now adding small was probably too much, but on the other hand a city of around 200k people already has quite high rents/prices.

I have some friends living in what according to wikipedia one could call a half-town and looked at an apartment there out of curiosity. A 3 room apartment (newly built) was about 280.000 EUR and that's in a town where they have 1 hotel, 1 restaurant (or maybe 2) and 0 supermarkets.
In my experience if one wants a 3 room apartment in a normal city, one would add another 100.000 EUR to that price.
Really? No bitcoin? I mean, I know, lots of hate on HN about the whole thing being scammy and rife with criminal activity, but none of that changes that buying it in 2010 would right now give you insane and fairly liquid returns on one of the absolute best performing speculative assets of modern history.

Maybe magic isn't the distinction to make. On the extreme, our processors are magic and I've never understood how exactly they work.

I've had a similar experience in Ruby where metaprogramming was used in favor of objects with functions. When I had issues, it was very hard to debug.

Maybe it comes down to the quality of the abstraction. I think the point of a good abstraction is you don't have to go down to the layer below.

Where in the article does it even imply that it's a magic bullet? It doesn't. Quite the opposite as it clearly says:

> Figuring out how to become a force multiplier sounds more valuable to me than a 10x developer.

I'm always astounded by what people imagine a 10x developer is, especially some one who calls themselves a senior developer.

Hint, they aren't a lone wolf who writes 10 times as much code as the rest of the team, doesn't deign to sit in scrum planning sessions and creates chaos with every pull request they self approve. Maybe those people CALL themselves a 10x developer ...

A 10x developer IS a force multiplier. Every 10x developer I've worked with wrote easy to use APIs and Frameworks that made every other developer on the team much more productive. A 10x developer is a senior developer on steroids; they do everything this author thinks a senior developer does and more.
> Her trustees are advising that since Google cannot guarantee that her data is being stored in the UK (apparently?), they need to migrate.

She should push back on that, since there is no legal basis for it (except in very specific circumstances).

It would be cheaper to get competent legal advice than do a shift like this for many offices.

Think Real Hard
C is "misused" for a lot of things and Go is a contender in those areas though.

Technically you could be right about complexity vs. feature set, but from the POV of someone that's using a simple language, the two don't look that different. One does help you avoid certain errors, although whether that counts as hand holding or hand slapping is in the eye of the beholder.
A Chrome extension for YouTube keypoints
Since podcasts and entertainment shows are getting longer and longer, youtube has implemented a way to know the subject of the talk in each part of the video.

But I find it kinda hard to hover over every one of them in the youtube video bar or read them from the description. So I thought I could make an extension for chrome that's basically a sidebar with all the keypoints from the video, you can easily click them and get to that part of the video.

Since it's just a 2 hour project I would like to first get an opinion on it, so I will attach a video in the url.

Do you think it's useful? Should I continue working on it?
China’s Export Restriction List: Which Technologies Included and Why?
Yes, the declarations are equivalent.

The difference is the function prototype `void newprint(char *, int);` at the start, which is missing in the second example. With the forward declaration, the compiler knows what arguments newprint takes and errors out if you pass something else. C is compiled top to bottom so in the older version of the example the compiler has no way of knowing what number of arguments the function takes at the point whree it is called. In (not so) old versions of C that implicitly declared a function taking whatever you passed it.
If you don't like the language please offer some constructive feedback on how to improve it.
Automatic Differentiation of the Black-Scholes Model
Thanks for the explanation. I wouldn't be surprised if some people are feigning outrage. But it's intuitive to me that some others would be genuinely bothered by the appearance of insensitivity to culture in language, by a professor who seems to be speaking as an expert about language and culture. (Not that there's anything wrong with a foreign language, nor with the coincidences in sound, of course.)

If I saw someone in the class who seemed offended, or they mentioned it to me, I'd reach out to the professor privately. Or, if I knew the professor, and had occasion to see this, I'd ask them if they thought there might be a sensitivity they want to realize and address.

No, not really from what I have gleaned from that article. Most of his knowledge seems to be surface level chauffeur knowledge, he never talks about fundamental data and instructions beneath the abstractions. However, it is not fair for me to judge him based on one article alone and without reviewing his work, I’m talking in a more general sense.
That's probably because the content in this post is more about "soft skills" or what many would consider fluff.

"habits of mind", "tools of thought", "force multiplier", "superpowers" "embrace fear" etc. reads straight out from a Tim Ferris-like self-help book targetting millennials than anything a senior engineer would write.

I read your last year's post - that one was much more useful and insightful. So +1 (upvote) to more of those.
All of the popular psychedelics are extremely potent anti inflammatories, even at sub-psychoactive doses. And the effect lasts for months. And inflammation touches almost every modern illness... so it is a magic bullet. They also cure cluster headaches and migraines and people who suffer from those would certainly call it a magic bullet. Should we be testing every possible application to see what sticks? Yes.

Ask HN: Have you been screwed for reporting a critical bug?
I found a bug in a multi-million teleco's mobile money service. They have this auto-debit option where an amount (specified by the customer) is periodically deducted from the customer's account. Instead the system debits the customers account with the said amount (transaction reversal) whenever it tries to to auto-debit but the customer does not have enable balance (up to the specified amount).

So assuming you set monthly auto-debit to $1000 but you had only $100 dollars in your account. The system debits (via a transaction reversal) your account with $1000 (because deducting $1000 dollars will results in transaction failure since you don't have enough balance).

After reporting this bug, my account is totally closed. I called their customer care and I was told to go to their customer care center (which is hours of drive away from where is live). The unfortunate this is that all the money I have is locked up in the account.

I think it's very naive to think a local militia system of government would work like the game Top Trumps.

You'd still have a bunch of people thinking you are a jerk - the reason your life might quickly become horrible is because you've been a jerk to pretty much everyone by claiming that you need to rule them by force.
This is correct. Current legislation (GDPR and the UK's implementation in the 2018 Data Protection Act) does not require data to be stored in the UK. G Suite is definitely GDPR compliant, could the trustee be raising vague concerns without good cause (they do that). There are other reasons to switch from Google, but that's not one of them.

I have not seen a reason to think cryonics will work at all.

Even if we actually do find a way to restore frozen near-death people to life, you'd better write a heck of a pitch as to why future humans should spend resources on reviving and healing you.

Never mind all the resources being spent on keeping you properly frozen all that time.

That's all assuming the company running your freezer doesn't just go belly-up after ninety years, leaving you to thaw and rot after all that expense was dumped into keeping your now-corpse uselessly preserved for decades.

Cryonics actually plays the role so many atheists believe religion plays for the religious - comfort in the face of The End that is inevitably coming to you.

It is false hope, a tool to help you deceive yourself into thinking you can defeat death.

This is my definition. Can I assign the PROBLEM, "important customer ABC has some kind of weird bug, talk to Nav in Tech Support" and know that problem is now off my plate. They'll usually solve it or come back with a hot fix recommendation. Worse case, they come back with a "we can't figure it out, we need more eyes on this".

The important part is this: the problem is now something I don't need to worry about.

If I need to follow up, they're not a senior developer. They're a junior with skills.
