So what was the reason for your house being cold other than the ill-timed rennovation?

Germany is a net electricity exporter, we don't "depend" on French nuclear energy. But of course, Germany is part of an Eurpean grid, so depending on the load distribution and the weather, there is a lot of inporting on exporting, because eletricity is traded across long distances. While often there is a significant amount of elektricity going to Germany, that is usually just transiting to other countries. And at other times Germany is exporting to France (which then often is transiting to the UK).
Ask HN: Where to meet non-technical cofounders?
I spent most of my undergraduate degree (in applied math/physics) with my head down powering through courses and working a job in the evenings to pay for my education. Over that time, I met a bunch of talented people, many of whom I keep in touch with, but none of whom I could ever see myself working with. Moreover, they're also all engineers as well with skillsets that more or less resemble my own.

I'm at a FAANG company at the moment and I'm finding it quite unfulfilling (nothing new here), and for the last several months I've been hacking away on my own projects just to keep honing my skills and to try to figure out what's possible in terms of turning technical know-how into commercial products.

The last one I built felt like a relatively solid idea but I quickly realized (a) how much of the difficulty in launching the product depended on having a good network and knowing how to utilize it, and (b) how much I felt poorly equipped to do (a). Moreover, I'm also understanding how deeply reliant tech products are on domain knowledge in the industry they're attempting to push into.

The conclusion here seems to be that I'd be far more effective at reaching my goals working in partnership with someone who checks the above boxes (which, in hindsight, was incredibly obvious). The problem I'm having now, though, is that none of my friends are similarly motivated to me, and networking feels nigh-impossible with the COVID-19 situation.

Does anyone here have tips on how they meet people and feel out whether there's any professional compatibility – especially in the current situation? While I'm not opposed to just riding this out and trying to network the traditional way when the world reopens, it seems like there has to be a more effective way.
Watched that guy heavily a few months ago. He makes great explanations, really breaks things down so laymen can understand it.
I’m in Denmark. Others may have different experiences of cause, but I never knew interviews to be anything other than a pleasent conversation, mostly about the job.

I have seen small programming task presented to candidates at a previous employeer, after I was hired, but that sort of failed. All the candidate actually submitted perfectly good solution and the process just reverted to just talking to each candidate in a relaxing setting.

Edit: I actually once interviewed for a job that required a personality test, because HR need to justify their existance I assume. I will never apply at a company which uses personality tests again. Not only was it wrong, it’s also kinda traumatic. But this was after actually getting the job, the test was sort of a “before we actually sign, please take this test”
> Monoculture is bad, but this is a different kind than IE ever was. IE once went 5 years without a release.

Indeed, it was the other browsers that kept pushing innovation, MS just let their IE to rot and updated it with windows after every decade. The real criticism is Google having extreme power over what are new standards because of their monopoly they have garnered too much power over it.
> Really, your comments shows that HN is all about a consensus of opinion.

This seems another example of the criticism-proving-you-right disease. I thought I gave a load of useful advice.

> You're saying I should police my own opinion, and even delete comments if its not going along with the flow or something.

That's nothing like what I said, is it. Yes, everyone should "police" their own opinions, if you want to put it like that – for example, some comment triggers you and you write an angry response. After writing it, read it again with a cooler head and before posting it decide if it really adds to HN, or subtracts. I often find that just writing it is enough – I learnt something by writing it, or got my anger/resentment out of my system. (Maybe you think 100% of the comments you write are worth posting; for me it's far less.) I said nothing about a consensus or "going with the flow", and don't mean anything like that.
I think it depends on what your living situation is like as well.

Because I live reasonably far out into the suburbs, my home office is a completely separate room, so it's fairly easy to just totally forget it exists when I stop work.
WASM Intro (Rust Overlaps)
I like the idea of a fun interview. This will take pressure off the candidate and he will be able to show his strenghts better.
I think positive feedback is good. I also think it is better and more motivating than negative feedback (although both are necessary).

I tend to set goals that I can hit. I have longer term goals. But if I only focus on long ten goals I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything even though I’m working hard. If I set lots of short term goals that lead up to the long term goal, I feel like I’ve accomplished way more, even though really I’ve accomplished the same.

It’s important to actually hit the short term goals. If you get in the habit of not hitting them, then they just become ideas you have but never get around to.
Apple owns a perpetual ARMv8.2 license. And since they work closely with ARM on ARMv9 they might already have a license for that as well.

What is your idea of an old German town? Heidelberg-like romanticist buildings, medieval wooden housings, Karlsruhe-like baroque or classicist cities? Freiburg has a rather large historic center with a cathedral/monastery church and gates, plus old quarters with lots of red sandstone.

You don't have to go to science fiction for this. Science fact will do. On Earth, with Atomic Time, we already have to account for general relativistic effects. Doco from the BIPM (the SI Brochure) already talks about accounting for them across the sizes of the measuring devices.
I'm pretty sure it was built by the military and universities.
we are already trying to detect it. taking a photograph (or, recording a relatively narrow band of electromagnetic data) is not the best means of detection

I expect this project is more geared towards detecting the geometry of the universe e.g. star and galaxy formation and evolution
Some people - to say at least - exaggerates in their CV. You can’t trust someone automatically.
I don't think we can realistically expect to detect anything beyond our galactic neighborhood- what could someone in another galaxy do to catch our attention? Trigger supernovas at an interval representing the Planck constant?
Yes, how much larger is China than France? The 12 in China don't even compare to the single plant built in France right now, if you do the math. And of course, just France would need over 50 new plants, if they wanted to continue to use nuclear energy.

On the contrary, I believe "Ancient Aliens" ought to be required viewing for all citizens in democracies.

What is the difference between "our UFO expert says it was aliens. What if it were true?" and "our defector says there are Weapons of Mass Destruction. What if it were true?"

There are several choices on this: the true source (who really got it out?) and the ostensible source (whose name is signed to it?); also, the first-use source (who used it the first time?) and the second-use source (who claims merely to be using it as a quotation?). Take the statement: "Harry said to me, he said, 'I never told anybody that Al's wife was a retired strip-teaser.' Mind you, I don't pretend to believe Harry, but that's what he said, all right." What are the possible true sources for the statement of fact or libel concerning Al's unnamed wife? What are the alternatives on ostensible sources? First use? Second use? The common sense needed to analyze this statement is of the same order as the process involved in analyzing the statement: "Reliable sources in Paris state that the visit of the American labor delegation has produced sensational repercussions in Moscow, and that Moscow, upon the basis of the American attitude, is determined to press for unification of the entire German labor movement."

I am really interested to see how China is going to react. Can Trump administration put some kind of sanction on ARM license.
But since license terms and in general legal art is granted copyright, does one have the right to use the license for their own projects? That is, what is the license of the license?

See various controversies surrounding provincial law text being under copyright.
Or they don’t really care where a skilled worker comes from... we should be able to higher and attract best and brightest across the world. Current immigration system is not setup for that.
The reason these restrictions exist is to address the inherent power differential between the contractor and the contractee.

The company will be around next month if they don't contract you. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, you may not be. Thus, you're not meeting on a level playing field and these rules are built to prevent you being taken advantage of.

This is particularly relevant to Uber drivers, as driving for Uber is unskilled labor. It's not you freelancing as a $200-500/hr software engineer. After all if you are, you can just incorporate a contracting business and pay yourself benefits out of the take -- then this whole conversations is moot.

> If we had a stronger social safety net (either something like a UBI, or some other form of economic assistance), we wouldn’t need to try to manipulate the market with blunt restrictions on trade.

This is my free-market argument for UBI and socialized medicine also. I believe UBI and socialized medicine promote, not detract from a true, a free-market economy.
I don't understand why this needs a new "key endorsement" infrastructure - isn't that exactly what certifications ("signing other people's keys") is meant for? Why not use one of the existing OpenPGP signature types to differentiate "old style" signatures from new "key endorsements"?

I hope that NVIDIA does not have any plans to damage the development and licensing of Cortex-M and Cortex-R microcontrollers.

This is a business that has no overlap over what NVIDIA does and maybe NVIDIA could spin off this part of ARM as a separate company, because I can hardly imagine the NVIDIA management focusing in this business, where they do not have any experience.

On the other hand, ARM Cortex-A CPUs are better than those designed by NVIDIA and they are used in products (e.g. by Qualcomm) that directly compete with NVIDIA products.

I cannot imagine that NVIDIA will continue to design better Cortex-A cores and then give them immediately to their competitors.

Review and Essential Highlights: The Great Mental Models Vol. 1 by Shane Parrish
> The $40bn is partly in Nvidia's (arguably) inflated stock

I'm not seeing this in the article. How much of it is in Nvidia's arguably inflated stock?
I sometimes think when reading Dr Bob or Kent Beck and so on, that a lot of what they do (e.g. overemphasis on low level unit tests) is for personal psychological reasons. But this doesn't mean they are sound engineering reasons or even that they are good for the psychology of anyone else who has to work with that code.
There is something about the multi cursors in ST and also in JetBrains IDEs, which just makes them more intuitive than whatever I tried in Emacs so far.
Maybe it just can't be combined with evil mode reasonably?...
Does anyone have a recommendation how to emulate the ST multicursor more closely in Emacs?
Just to point out the perpetual license for the architecture is not special to Apple, and has nothing to do with ARM being founded by Apple.

It is standard business offering from ARM.

1. Its like one building block from 100 blocks
2. Yes they do. If you try to write C++ style data structure in java you will fail. If you try to write JS style algorithms in rust you will fail. Different programming languages and databases are optimized for different data structures and algorithms. You can normalize the shit out of an Oracle Db but if you delete the 'statistics' DB then you have a problem no matter what the data structure.
What's holding back NTM is that they are hard to train, even worse than RNNs. They are not much less efficient than a Transformer. Instead, Transformer has all the advantages of the NTM but it is much easier to train.

Actually, the way I see it, Transformer is a direct descendent of memory-based architectures (NTM, MemNet, stack-based RNNs...) that is both expressive and easy to train.
If an intelligent life form exists out there and is advanced enough to ponder the meaning of life and if there is other life... and is intelligent enough to know how to send messages across the universe... and to encode them...

Lemonis says "I don't recall" about 10000 times in the span of 3 hours. I understand it's excelent attorney advice, but should Gates have tried the same thing he would have looked even worse in the court of public opinion. His diversions have at least some tact compared to Lemonis' bluntness.
I'm perfectly happy to let people explore, that's why it takes a bit of time to determine that someone isn't going to work out. These guys I'm thinking of basically didn't want to do the job they were described. At least one of them changed careers, preferring something more to do with people than code. Fair enough, but for the hiring manager there's not that much warning. They still have the skills so they'll pass the interview, and the money on offer is enough to temporarily summon up some motivation.
I opened the article and as soon as the beginning we are greeted with total bullshit: "When it comes to learning a language, immersion is key".

No, immersion is not key. I know a bunch of people immersed for years in a foreign country that can’t introduce themselves in the local language. Happened to me too. Immersion only works if one as enough prior knowledge so that some input will be comprehensible, and then build on that. For bootstraping this, traditional methods (books, videos, classes) are required.

Also claiming having learn 9 languages without even listening them nor the level attained is cringy as hell. I’m so fed up of the mainstream blog posts about language; opening my own website/company about language learning is on my todo list once I graduate from PhD (related to language education).
I think 3.11 still needed a third party TCP/IP stack, not 95.
I'm not sure I buy any of these discussions, especially the "Long Term Stock Exchange".

In a company, you have a board and you have shareholders. If you don't want the mould of a public company, you create or keep it as a private company. In a private company, you can do any of these employee stock options or buybacks or long term things, much as you can do with a public company, if you wanted to. The board and the shareholders have a similar sort of dynamic in both, but I would say the board of a private company invites less scrutiny, or at least less fully public scrutiny.

So what is the difference between a public company and a private company---in the context of this discussion? The main difference is that in a private company, especially if you didn't set up your shareholders agreement in a friendly way, you can have deadlocks where shareholders can't sell their stock.

This I think is what JPMorgan is targeting, and based on my experience, it's a pretty clever segment of the market to try something, since, as the article and I mention, private companies have inherent difficulties to trade stock (especially if the shareholders are not fond of each other). The stock value of private companies can be undervalued too, and this would mean that JPMorgan would create additional cash out of thin air. Or rather, by analogy magically unlock lost Bitcoin wallets.

Some examples of private companies: Carlsberg, Lidl, Aldi, Deloitte, PWC, IKEA, Koch Industries.

What I find interesting is that this article about private companies was posted after the, ehm, funny LTSE one (seriously, the London Stock Exchange is LSE...) and it would arguably be the closest existing structure where you are not bound by public company expectation, and in theory you could build a rather charitable setup from a private company, much like the LTSE article's prose likes to promise.

I wish it were that simple. Since 1998 I have worked for companies full-time and on-site as a "contractor". Everytime I would start a new position I was hoping I was going to become an employee instead they always tell me they are not going to make me an employee but instead pay me as a 1099 contractor but treat me like an employee. This new law may finally put an end to that. These are the only positions I can find and so I just have to accept it or otherwise live on the street.
