If your nontrivial game has an online component with voice chat or custom avatars or something like that, then you now have an attack vector. If your game is closed source, I hope you are following updates from these libraries and either updating your vendored copy or backporting patches and then immediately pushing out a new release whenever an upstream update is published. And you will likely want to be committed to doing this for however many years you plan to keep your game online.

And if you're going through all the trouble of doing that, I don't see what benefit you're getting from static linking these libraries anymore. (Unless the argument is that you're going to patch it faster than the distros)
Is Wikipedia currently wrong on this with the sources listed there?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disa...

Deaths
0 from radiation,[3]
2,202 from evacuation,[4]

Non-fatal injuries
37 with physical injuries,[5]
2 workers taken to hospital with radiation burns[6][7]

"For evacuation, the estimated number of deaths during and immediately after transit range from 34 to "greater than 50".[12][17][18] The victims include hospital inpatients and elderly people at nursing facilities who died from causes such as hypothermia, deterioration of underlying medical problems, and dehydration.

For long-term displacement, many people (mostly sick and elderly) died at an increased rate[17] while in temporary housing and shelters. Degraded living conditions and separation from support networks[19] are likely contributing factors. As of 27 February 2017, the Fukushima prefecture government counted 2,129 "disaster-related deaths" in the prefecture."

While looking at the tsunami itself:

Casualties
15,899 deaths,[2] +2 (Overseas),
6,157 injured,[3]

Co-founder of Levels.fyi here - it's not so much that these sites solely support FAANG companies, it's just harder to get other people to add their salaries. We're working to encourage folks at other companies to contribute through dedicated company pages [1], etc. It's had a real impact and we've started to collect much more data across more companies / roles. We're also working to incentivize contributions more and I do think we'll be in a position to have a more representative sample over the next few months.

The Strange Story of the Secret Code That the CIA Has Never Managed to Decipher
I have a similar use case with wordreference.
I type '!wr wordtodefine' to get the definition of a word.
Or the more likely scenario is, at that age, you've worked on different problems, made the right connections, experienced many frustrations, and took all of those things to create efficiency in some market and build a successful product

Every 20 year old wants to be a start-up founder without understanding how the world works, without ever managing a team, without understanding basic accounting and business processes.

Put in the time first, learn how companies and industries operate, then innovate.
Today I learned about xu4, but it looks like that code became part of ScummVM, so it's the same now.

I could never get DOSBox working on 64 with with ultima 4.
Where the hell is a X200 is similarly priced to a RPi?!

In my neck o the woods(Austria) a X200 series is around 150-200 Euros. Add 16GB of Ram and an SSD an you're looking at at least 250 Euros instead of just 40 for a PI.
New Jersey is first state to ban single-use paper and plastic bags

“It encourages precise thinking.”

This is especially useful as geometry proofs are no longer taught in the standard geometry classes in US high schools.
Yeah, and the key difference is simple: The 100x engineers in Netflix just understood that file-based lookup for key-value pairs won't scale for OLAP-like workload on time series, and of course they possessed the sheer capability of implementing the right technology from ground up.
Right, this could be as simple as deny by default.
Well, to add to his point, the reviews say these are cheap knockoffs and, if you search for just birkenstock, the first item is a competitor, LAVAU ...
Exactly this comment.

10x developers exist. 100x developers exist. These developers don't program 10x as fast or have 1/100th of the code. They bring 10x or 100x more value as compared to other developers.

People in HN seem to forget: Code doesn't live in a vacuum. Code has purpose. Code fixes problems. 100x developers are the ones that bring true value. That value may come from a 300 LOC data structure that improves efficiency by 50% or a 30-page code architecture that improves scalability. The means to produce value are irrelevant. What matters is how much value you bring to the table.

A Person Works at Every FAANG Company
Yeah I mean, it was a decade ago and I've definitely done fine, but it definitely shaped how I approached giving interviews to candidates when I had the opportunity. I always tried to remember the gravity of being on either side of the table, and the amount of stress that usually went into being a candidate deserves an amount of respect that most FAANG companies, in my experience, do not provide.
This isn't necessarily advice meant to be followed (I hope), I think this is meant to give the rest of us an idea of why we fail even though we are trying to do the right thing.
That seems like most of school when I went through it. History was just memorizing dates and I hated it, but now history is fascinating. English was BS even though I’ve always been a bookworm. Rote learning is a massive issue, but it’s an orthogonal one.
Reducing everyone's salaries could temporarily backfire though as long as there are other bay area companies paying bay area salaries (even for remote workers), as those people would leave.

However, it may be beneficial for Facebook to do it that way, as they can then get decent talent around the world at a lower price.
Congratulations on your indoctrination.

I would love to hear about other models of the world that are employed to think about it. My view is that there's about 5 mental models given how mundane human life is in general (I'm speaking in hyperbole of course).
Exactly. Every time going gets hard there's a temptation to just fire up the browser or youtube. You have to make a conscious effort to _not_ do this. You have to also be _bored_ to do anything of value. It's very easy to be entertained nowadays. Similarly to cake, entertainment is good only in moderation, though.
Harsh but fair. If he had explained that he wanted to get more experience playing with Docker and other fancy toys then he could have won you over. Getting Docker to work on a 2Gb/16Gb Celeron Chromebook with a cheap USB stick is a fair technical challenge.

But you are right though. You can apt-get install nginx on Gallium to run many things. Fair use cases include an OwnCloud, a media server, a home security gizmo using the microphone and camera, a personal website and much else that could be done. It would be great to run these things and it be next to no power with a refurbished/recycled machine.

Or you could run Virtualbox to host another flavour of Linux so you can host Docker and use that to test your installation, no actual apps or real work done at all.

For the third time in two days Flightradar24 is under attack
The claim is clearly idiotic, and none of scientists I work with consider it requiring rebuttal. That’s also 11 years ago, same year Python 2.7 was first released. Markram isn’t in HBP since... 4 years and I think what we have in the final phase now is the people trying to turn lemons into lemonade.

Maybe my problem is that I don’t see myself as “believing” in the project or not: it’s easier to learn from failure in fact. If the whole thing fails, it will make the EU a little more cautious about the next potential flagship project. Which is presumably what all the FUD surrounding HBP is about.

> until Google/Apple agreed to include Prime Video

Your phrasing definitely implies that had disagreed to include Prime at some point.
> That said, the thing to remember at all times is that the dude doing the interview is just doing his job

This isn't really a thing candidates should care about, IMO. It is fine to demand decency out of interviewers, and it is fine to callout when bad things happen while people are "Just doing their job."
>2) I fear making myself too attached to something which may go out of production. In case it breaks, I'd be sad.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. These good quality keyboards will last for a long time. By the time it breaks, the state of the art would have advanced , you wouldn't want the same thing again.

Go for it.
Yes, it's sadly just the first step.
> Relatively speaking of course

In no world are SWEs "relatively speaking" little people compared to lawyers.
If that's its destiny, you could go the https://computerbasedmath.org/ route and just merge them together.
Yes, I only meant similar in the sense that it attempts to use typescript types as the primary source for the definition of the database schema.

I agree my wording could have been better.

Coin Base Account Hacked It Needs Better Security
My account was hacked and this is how they did it and I hold Coin Base liable because it's security sucks. I was sitting down and I saw my mouse moving around and I stopped it a few seconds later Coin Base sent me a code to confirm ( I said What BS) I called Coin Base on this FRAUD and of course Coin Base message said please fill out the form and send it in ( WHAT THE FK) this is happening live. what happened they got to my bank account on Coin Base and bought Bitcoin, my bank contacted me and I put a stop on it, the bank was successful in getting my money back but Coin Case is TELLING ME I owe them about $1,700.00 and I should read the Coin Base TERMS (BULL SHIT) was this an inside job? this is the security problem that Coin Base has, every person that has a Coin Base account should have a security question only I know and Coin Base, so if I am going to go into Coin Base I should be able to put in my security code and only that should get me into my account. Coin Base does not have it and its BS. They are asking me to pay back the $1,700.00 if Coin Base was serious they should pick up the phone on a fraud situation and they could put a stop to it instantly, but no fill a form out, I am going to make a big deal out of this since I am related to a powerful Politician and I am going to bring this to his attention $1,700 is not a lot but I think something F smells big time.
That's a bit of a strawman though. My initial premise was that learning on the side something orthogonal to what you use daily is beneficial to ones capabilities in general. Orthogonal being key here.
If anything it's remarkable how many college CS majors clearly do not like programming. At some schools they flunk out, but other schools that can't afford to fail students just end up passing them through.
I love Typescript -- I just wish there were an alternate runtime (.Net core CLR/DLR or other) that offered shared-memory green and/or native threading for true support for embarrassingly parallel but not vectorized workloads. FWICT, I don't think Deno changes things here much. Typescript on the BEAM would be interesting to me as well.
Because the premise I was responding to was "It's reasonable to assume that Police has procedures that are followed, or at least that are followed infinitely better than the general public."

I didn't take that as meaning a specific police force, but rather, police in general. I was specifically responding to mytaylorrsrich's comment that people are reacting negatively to the police just because they are police, whereas my point was that they were believing that the police always held themselves to a higher standard just because they were police. I'm not convinced that is the case, and this link is a point of evidence to that effect.

Why Google May Penalize Your Site
Lab books typically don't do well liquids either. At least with an iPad your data should be safe if it gets destroyed.

Also, iPad batteries and screens are replaceable by Apple and you can definitely attach keyboards to them. Even if they did only last a few years, that's only a few dollars per day. Your lab probably spends more than that on coffee and tea for you.
But the 5% ~ 10% that do are at least guaranteed to be capable of it.

And it's likely that that matters.
You'll need to say more :)
> UKB hasn't shipped yet

Huh? I ordered one on 19 Sept. and had it on my desk in California on 24 Sept.
Yep. I’m sure this being Hacker News someone will suggest ripgrep as being faster and written in Rust, but grep has been there forever and will always be there forever when you need it. So while I might use something else occasionally, being able to use grep is extremely useful.
Looking at many Open source projects by Netflix, a lot of it looks like crap that Java architecture astronauts and design pattern Guru would come up with. Yeah, Netflix is very successful so even its turds would be called gold nuggets.
For people with vitamin D deficiency I would not be surprised if there's a connection to depression and I guess standard advice applies: If you think you might be at risk, get yourself tested. If nothing else, you can avoid experiencing the bone related issues that a vit D deficiency might cause.

This was the study I was thinking of (they did not target people with depression)
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/27689...

Weirdly I couldn't find any studies on the effects of supplementing with vitamin D for depression, even though there's plenty of studies on the correlation, and even one study where they used it for treatment, without any control group...
Flightradar24 Is Down
As I already mentioned over at https://www.reddit.com/r/vulkan/comments/i2ivzh/new_vulkan_f... I'm going to do that. And will let you know how it goes.
"I ask myself "Do I need to believe this is how the world operates? How does this serve me? Would I want my children to embody this world view?". If the answer is no, then I try to have my world view serve me and end up much happier and actually much more effective in the long run."

It's a nice thought, but proves to be difficult to implement long term. Sure you might convince yourself for a few months that things are like X, ignoring the evidence that they are Y. That's your prerogative, you can operate in whatever reality you wish. Eventually reality catches up to you and you have to pay the piper.
The Zoho ecosystem is this weird place where you can find almost everything, virtually for free. If you’ve never looked before, check it out - it’s expansive.

Frustratingly though, there are so many features heaped in that there is no cohesion. Things are frequently buggy, unreliable and disjointed. I’d almost be able to forgive it but unfortunately the support is really terrible too.

I assessed a lot of crm software and each one I kept finding things they didn’t have that zoho had but for the reasons above we ultimately chose something else. Which is a shame, because I would pay them a lot more than they ask, for them to just be a little better.

I remember that i read about a lawsuite were someone tweeted the hash of a document and proofed that way that this documenta existed at that point. I believe it was about a patent infringment and they even brought a twitter employee in as a witness to testify aboht the imutability of tweeta and the timestamp.

Cant find the article (hash is not a good search phrase when it comes to Findung an article about twitter).
> Why not? While "Civilian aircraft and aircraft engines" probably takes a hit, the remaining US should continue to have its major exports:

The US would lose all the nuclear weapons on the west coast in that deal, which would result in some exciting geopolitical changes. CalOreShington would have a bunch of ballistic missiles, nuclear subs, and long-range bombers.

For the first time the US would have a potent, nuclear-armed non-ally adjacent to its border. There would be hostilities resulting from the federal government demanding compensation for the vast amounts of federal land that would be lost, and the inevitable "come and take it" reply.

The remaining states should certainly hope that they don't lose Colorado in that deal, because they'd be losing NORAD to boot.
> Plus it seems like major tech companies downlevel you if you don't have relevant experience at peer companies.

That's it I think - they see an engineer with relevant experience, but not at the scale of them and think it's not the same. Maybe they're right? I don't know.
I always thought store brands are cheaper because they don't need any marketing spending like the name brands have to keep doing.
I did not know there is so many of them. They should advertise it much more as I think this feature could be quite attractive to a lot of people.
The other thing that I've observed tutoring in business school is that some people were probably not good at math in high school (and I'm guessing didn't care), were basically able to skip it in college, and now they have some required courses that have pretty easy math by the standards of people with technical degrees, especially engineering.

But there were people I was tutoring who didn't what a graph was, didn't know how to solve an equation, etc. I'll try but I really can't get you through statistics and economics with some level of elementary school arithmetic.

This was a particularly bad case but one can read any of a number of first year MBA books in a similar vein: The math is killing me.
Also important to remember that winning this game results in a massive difference in income and purchasing power.

Two promotions at a FAANG can be the difference between 200k and 600k in pre-tax compensation. That might translate into a difference in retirement age from 70 to 35, depending on your life goals and rate of spending.
This reminds me of the mcdonalds vs scalding tea lady lawsuit (IIRC, the claim was the cup did not indicate the contents were hot, so now all such cups do).

The difference here though is that London is setting itself up to a situation where it can't deregulate without losing face, can't play favorites anymore (because regulations are "supposed to be fair") but the regulations are so demanding that it makes it significantly more difficult for competition to enter the market, ultimately strengthening Uber's position.

Surgical masks are apparently all that's required for a closed room with close proximity and a long duration according to the AHS (our local health authority). I am extraordinarily skeptical this will work in the long term as case rates rise (here in Alberta our numbers have been much lower than the US or UK).
True, there is no day without calling grep. Often just simple strings, but a least a couple of times a month also with true regexps.

When I still was forced to use Windows in the first decade of 2000 and we had a huge codebase in the company I used an indexing tool called Wilbur http://www.redtree.com/wilbur/index.htm That was incredibly fast. But of course it did not support regexps.
I've noticed that a lot of beginners get tripped up on the syntax. Unfortunately a lot of the fun problem solving parts of coding only come after you get over that hurdle. I don't think the visual editors where you drag and drop code blocks work as well but I can't think of a better way to solve the problem.
What kind of eye damage are you talking about?
I was on Roy's team at this time. I am not one of the four mentioned in the link, but I definitely know exactly who is being talked about. I wanted to comment that these four were considered outliers even by Netflix standards for being very high performing. So bear in mind the example is an extreme one.
Correlation is not causation. Happiness might be affected by a lot of things other than the respective social systems.

>> They first need to start thinking in steps, loops, commands, ifs

This is exactly what turtle logo does, with the modest, easily definable, straight-forward goal of drawing cool pictures. I think one of the big mistakes we're making with kids is telling them "you can build awesome video games with almost no work". Well, a video game to my kids is Zelda or Halo. Nobody is building those games over an afternoon in scratch. Coding may be easier, but it's still hard work.
> The company I'm currently CTO at I had founded when I was 23. It's now a multi-hundred million dollar company, growing very quickly, and about to cross 100 employees. I've learned a lot along the way, but I've especially learned from managing parents. As I started managing parents and realizing how much they base their own values on how their children would think of them and their life principles, it became apparent to me that this is how I want to live my life too.

I feel like I'm now a father to my hypothetical children.
One of the reasons I keep a Costco membership is for access to Kirkland products. And I think they know that a lot of their customers feel this way.
