Had the same issue with delamination and because they admitted to it being their fault, took it to an Apple store just to see what they'll say. They said that it is a known defect but, wait for it, not for my model and so in my case it's my own fault by default. The person literally said yes it's delaminating but it's a different type of delamination. There was another comical scene involving googling by the employee which I will spare. It's not a big deal because I wasn't in my hometown anyway and couldn't leave it for longer than 3 days, but still. That company is simply ridiculous, and I hope I don't have to deal with them too much in my lifetime.
This is useful for most small apps or truly monolithic apps. ...But normalization in a distributed environment with 50+ apps? Really? You need to have some sort of duplication unless you want big bottlenecks, performance penalties, and hot headaches

Venus may not have a lot of hydrogen, but it does have some, especially in the form of water vapor. The amount of phosphine is also pretty tiny, about 20 parts per billion, compared to about 20 parts per million for water vapor.
I feel like Nikola is an example of why it might be bad for retail investors to have access to early stage companies (pre-IPO or not). A traditional venture capital investment has a better ability to do due diligence than the general public does.

I'm not familiar with IPO listings through SPACs, but do these type of listings go through as much DD as a traditional IPO listing? It seems that every step along the way, NKLA had avoided close inspection of it's actual IP and assets.
Microsoft is using the standard way to reckon GHG emissions in climate science, and accepting an order of magnitude more emissions into the calculation. The EPA has an OK explanation of the system:

Though I think the MS article is easier to understand. If you think this is not a reasonable or accurate way to measure emissions, there are some great peer reviewed journals you could write to.
Apple care doesn't last too long. More like buy apple care and when that runs out, buy a new one.
Sure, but it's not in question whether or not BMW or Ford can make a working vehicle. Nikola's ad is an announcement that they can, and in that context it's misleading.
I have been a user of repl.it for quite some time. I use it occasionally to work on small projects with my younger sister who is a CS major. I would actually really love something like repl.it for my work. There are a ton of places where the normal code, review, deploy, validate, etc lifecycle of development is way too slow for small projects or for prototyping.

Yeah, it's the classic confusion of expertise vs wisdom. Wisdom, I'd say, shouldn't even be considered an individual trait, as it comes from the aggregation of different perspectives towards a more holistic understanding. Only the mix of time, intellectual honesty and being observant distills that. A single individual has too many blindspots; a whole society, too much noise.
I would like to see some proof for the last statement.
Consulting is infamous for being a "greybeard accumulator" where the stereotypical career path is that they either to to management or consulting. Client expectations seem to play a part in it that they at times seem to feel dissatisfied at a younger consultant who don't prove themself to be an all solving savant while tolerating a broader range of outcomes from an elder one.

I know one attempt to have a sub visibly middle aged programmer local talent maximia who know the local language didn't work out as well compared to a former technician consultant who operated a bit more rote standards familarity.

There may have been conflating other skillsets including social. To put it crudely the programmer was slightly jerkish, the former technician apparently always wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Regardless the bias seemed to reinforce itself from clients.
It's interesting to me that Netflix isn't on that list. Maybe because it ruins their stats.

Totally anecdotal but I wouldn't be surprised if it were up there in the mid-high 30s.

I'm having trouble thinking of anyone I knew there under 30 that wasn't in HR, recruiting, support, or facilities. There were just a few engineers under 30, and definitely a bunch over 50. And of course management was almost all 35+.
>> and sucks on privacy much more.

That depends on what vendor, device, and Android distribution you choose.

>> Also about 'more open' - sounds like 'more good' or 'more pregnant'.

"More open" meaning apps can be side-loaded on Android devices without needing permission from anyone. "More open" meaning you have a choice of vendors. "More open" meaning there are many marketplaces where you can find or purchase apps. "More open" because more choices are available.

>> So, here's two ways only - open or closed.

The Android ecosystem has a spectrum of openness depending what vendor, device, Android distribution, and app marketplace(s) you choose. Some vendors lock their devices down more than others.

>> "Android is open source" - only the marketing slogan. You can run open source Android only in VM.

Really? There are several privacy-focused, open source Android distributions that actually run on devices:

This happens repeatedly and isn't anything new. This happens because there are a bunch of mentally ill people running tech companies that want jobs to be about "belief".

They don't want older people in tech because they want to empire build with the latest and greatest insecure technology.

They want to create frustration engines with poor engineering practices they older tech workers won't put up with it. The goal is to make technology more difficult so they can slowly re-train you to go to other people and hate all technology. This is a real thing and has burned out so many software engineers you'd be shocked at how many of them don't know their manager was the person who purposely made their job difficult to burn out another software engineer.

They want strange conspiracies about what the software actually does that older workers don't need to put up with (because some of it is illegal). If you're good at reading source code and figure out what they are actually doing in the source code, in some cases companies blatantly selling software that doesn't do anything they are selling their customers on. In some cases people inject code into a repository when no one is looking, so they can run side businesses using the company infrastructure. There are a ton of older tech workers who read every line of the source code and when they start asking too many questions people freak out and fire them to maintain a conspiracy.

This happens for all sorts of reasons.
For starters, when I looked into doing this I found everyone disagreeing if it was code. I personally think it might be up to code actually

If they sell those power inlets which are NEC approved, how can you use them without breaking code? So it MUST be code. But then you ask 10 people and get 10 answers

It all makes sense if you accept that the purpose of modern intellectual property law is to protect the wealth of the rich from the people they exploited to get rich in the first place.
I agree with this. Functional programming concepts (iterators, stream processing, sum types, first class functions, etc) have made significant inroads into almost every popular programming language:

Perhaps it's just my disposition, but I find that new ideas are more interesting than old ideas, even when I get quick "feedback". The longer a project takes the older and less exciting my original ideas get and the more I come up with new, exciting ideas.

Incoming rant.

Plus the government is in on it. They're effectively handing a subsidy to coporations who can jump the hoops versus those who hire and then train locals.

The pitch goes like this: give the immigrant the promise of America if they just serve the masters for ~10 years (or forever if you're the wrong race of immigrant[1]), keep them subservient by continuously threatening deportation at the loss of employment (short window to rehire). Limit the max number of H1B years to ensure increasing dire circumstance. Don't give them representation (despite taxation) so they can't feedback on the system.

Now, an H1B doesn't have always have all the features of a millenial, such as they usually don't have student debt, but the student visa can fix that.

Maybe you've read the book Lifespan, but the research talked about in it feels far more optimistic than what you've outlined. [1] Certainly there is already a decent amount of money being spent on it, and more and more each year with promising results. [2]

Reading this book, aging feels like an area where we might see huge advances in the next 15-20 years.

There are already really strong results for extending vital life by significant margins in other species, including rhesus monkeys. There are already drugs people take that seem to have some of this effect, though I think currently they come with some dangerous side-effects that might not be worth it if you didn't have the underlying disease the drug was intended for.

There is (or was) around a million submarine volcanoes in the ocean according the wikipedia. There are also hydrothermal vents across all of the oceans. The amount of energy to affect the ocean should be colossal (though I didn't do the math). To put it into perspective, we have been pumping crude oil and greenhouse emissions for over a 100 years by billions of people to raise temperatures by a degree or so.
> To get those types of features you need a boatload of investment that the open source community can't hope to muster in any sort of reasonable timeframe.

The Linux desktop is an obvious counterexample. If the open source community can develop user-friendly desktop environments (GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce) they can surely develop user-friendly mobile stacks.
I keep seeing posts like this but they don't go into detail. What sort of data could they be getting, and why would they want it? Is the Android sandbox ineffective?
Like most tech people I know in the UK, I've worked for North American companies my whole career. I'd love to work for a UK company and support investment in the UK more, but the pay and working conditions just aren't even remotely competitive (how crazy does that sound, saying I have to go to North American companies to get better working conditions but it's true.) Thankfully more and more let you work remotely from the UK now.

I might be misremembering and exaggerating but I think I looked at ARM internships a decade ago and they were paying about the same daily rate as the hourly rate I got from an American company. Guess where people went?
Is anybody else reminded of the character from the song "One"[1] by Metallica, and the movie/novel "Johnny Got His Gun"[2]? Granted, that was different in that the situation resulted from a traumatic injury and the man lost his limbs. But the idea of being "trapped in your body" - unable to communicate, aware of your own existence, but basically nothing else - seems similar.

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

I remember being terrified of this idea the first time I saw the video all those years ago. I guess I still am. I just had no idea - until now - that a situation like this could result from much of anything other than a major traumatic injury.

React Native, Android Java, Android Kotlin, Flutter, Jetpack Compose

- Flutter is the runaway winner, in general

- ARC looks like a mistake in retrospect - you trade 'GC overhead' for memory leaks

- keeping autolayout _and_ absolute frames looks like a mistake: a significant portion of SwiftUI overhead is spent in autolayout

- after working with Swift and _loving_ it between Swift 1 and 4, seeing the issues and watching Apple staff up and get more rigorous to solve them, stapling SwiftUI right now is unconsciable

- it requires contorting the language spec and the slow speed removes the one benefit of all the other frameworks, hot reload on device.

- Apple seems confused because they can _enumerate tractable work that would improve SwiftUI_, but the sum of that work is large enough to place a real, performant, cross platform Swift UI O(years) out (c.f. Swift's stable ABI clusterfoo)

Understand transaction isolation levels and read phenomena in MySQL and Postgres
When working with database transactions, one crucial thing we must do is choosing the appropriate isolation level for our application. Although there’s a well-defined standard, each database engine might choose to implement it in a different way, and thus may behave differently in each isolation level. In this video, we will explore deeply how each level of isolation work in MySQL and Postgres by running some concrete SQL queries. It also shows you how each isolation level prevents read phenomena like dirty read, non-repeatable read, phantom read, and serialization anomaly.
In ARMv8 you have a much cleaner mechanism through system registers(MSR/MRS).
Some would consider the lack of modules, and everything basically global to be an issue, as well as the lack of any sort of namespacing.
If microsoft can do it, why not google? They have a vendor qualification process that includes a carbon assessment. Internal POs to the given vendor incur an extra "tax" based on the cost to remove (or offset, in Google's case) the calculated amount of carbon.

Large vendors already offer the estimated carbon emissions of an order, and they certainly do when Microsoft or Google ask them to.

Aside: the moral high bar MS sets here is being "net zero", which is quite different than carbon neutral.
I agree that it should be fraud, but I'm not sure how the SEC defines fraud.

>I fail to see how this is a strong critique of Von Neumann probes, maybe you can clarify.

Allow me to attempt to clarify.

Let's say a civilization creates Von Neumann probes. Ignore whether such devices are even technically feasible. It sends these Von Neumann probes out into the universe in all directions.

The chances of any one of them ever encountering anything larger than a grain of dust before the heat death of the universe is practically zero. In almost all possible universes, all of the probes are swallowed up by the void. In almost all of the rest, one probe finds enough material to be able to replicate, and all of those are swallowed up into the void.

The scenario whereby a stable chain of exponential reproduction and growth via interstellar transfer occurs lasting long enough for a significant amount of stellar matter to be consumed and for an obvious trace to be left which just happens to be visible to us, is not the most likely scenario in a universe where such devices exist, it is still so unlikely that its feasibility borders on requiring sorcery. Because the universe is just that empty.

It's the sort of idea that only works on graph paper assuming a "perfectly spherical cow in a frictionless vacuum" kind of universe. The lack of a universe awash in Von Neumann probes is not a strong argument against the existence of life or advanced civilization in the universe, it is, itself, a strong argument against the feasibility of Von Neumann probes.
> waiting for at least two independent implementations before any serious standardization

What's the time limit on that wait? Should a vendor wait years to get a feature through other implementations? Should product development be stuck on other parties (potentially competitors) implement the necessary features required to develop the product?

Over time, this would result in a very large number of features limited to "vendor" namespace, how is that, in practice, different from having the features standardized (but largely unimplemented by other vendors)? And how is that better for users?

What if the vendor wants to pay someone to get those features quickly into alternate open source implementations, wouldn't HN complain then that the vendor now has direct influence in the other product's development?

It seems to me like given a set of requirements as simple as "quickly develop new web products that (may) require new web features" Google just can't win.

There's a part of me that's happy that there's finally a nice example of technology fraud to point to that's a non-medical tech company. After Theranos, the takeaway has been "biotechs, especially diagnostic companies, especially anything involved with microfluidics, especially if founded by a white female engineer[0], are frauds." Theranos has been explained away as something that happens when Silicon Valley invests in biotech (which is just so stupid - Genentech was founded in the bay...), so instead of using it as an opportunity to rethink what is incentivized and how charisma is rewarded over capability, people instead decided that by adopting a bunch of flawed heuristics, they could avoid the issue forever. Well, here you go! Theranos 2: electric Boogaloo! Turns out Fraud is not industry specific! Who knew!?

[0]I know a founder fitting that description that was put through hell because of all the pattern matching. And in my own startup, there was a point where I just straight up stopped mentioning microfluidics because of all the nonstop pattern matching and the dumb questions that resulted. Its so frustrating.
