You have to tell the carriers if you have coverage under more than one plan. They split bills at their discretion.

If carrier A pays a bunch of claims for you and then they learn you also have similar coverage from carrier B, carrier A may demand a reckoning.
I'm sure they would have, too, but they didn't and adding pseudo-information to the result isn't going to improve much even if it is prettier.
I'm super curious - do you feel that all those crimes you mentioned should have life sentences?

'cause I mean...if not, what was the point of the jail term? Depending on perspective, it might be rehabilitative, or it might be punitive, but either way, time served should equate to a clear record, no? If not, you're either saying they need further punishment, or you don't believe that they've been rehabilitated, in which case why were they let out?

Round corners happen by coincidence, and Apple wouldn't let you use round corners even if you met their spec.

Someone making a port the exact size and shape of a USB-C port (within tolerances) is doing it for the purpose of being compatible, and telling them to meet the (non-onerous) spec to be allowed would not get nasty headlines.
Thanks to the author for an enjoyable intellectual journey, it's a wonderful series of articles.

Having tried my hand at following the Make a Lisp project ¹, implementing an interpreter in a couple of languages, it's fascinating to see the process of designing the language and compiler from the ground up, discussing various tradeoffs for simplicity, reasons for internal data structure, etc.

In fact, I think I'm learning more about C99 than Lisp - there's something about creating a language (or just following along like me), by necessity it leads to the foundations of computing/programming, the concepts that make up the basis of all languages. It's a perfect (meta)subject for an educational project.

It's strange that this article makes reference to the "strategy of tension" in Italy without any mention of CIA and NATO involvement in Gladio (which the Italian government itself acknowledged).
Let's not pretend that this is some new issue that has arisen from USB-C. There were plenty of identical connectors (or ones that would fit together at least) in the past that were absolutely incompatible to the point of risking frying your electronics. At least with USB-C, if a capability can't be matched between the connected devices and the cable, it just doesn't work. Nothing will go up in a puff of smoke.

And for anyone complaining about needing different chargers for your phone and laptop, how is that any worse than before? You needed to do the same before USB-C. Now at least you have the option to plug your phone into your laptop charger. (Though if your complaint about USB-C for laptop charging is in regards to fragility, then I agree. I'm afraid I'm going to break them. Never had that thought about a barrel plug)

Kalepa is a New York based, VC backed, startup building software to transform and disrupt the $1T commercial insurance market. Engineers and designers at Kalepa are solving interesting and challenging problems at the intersection of big data pipelines, cutting-edge machine learning models, intuitive frontend apps, and robust infrastructure. You will be working in a small team building technology from the ground up with the latest stack.

One trillion dollars are spent globally each year on commercial insurance. However, the process for estimating the risk associated with a given business across various perils is still reliant on inefficient and inaccurate forms and research. This information asymmetry leads to a broken set of incentives and a poor experience for both businesses and insurers alike. By combining cutting edge data science, enterprise software, and insurance expertise, Kalepa is delivering precision underwriting at scale. Kalepa is turning real-world data into a complete understanding of risk.

Kalepa's team members have worked at Facebook, Google, Amazon, ClassPass, APT (acquired by Mastercard), the Israel Defense Forces, MIT, Berkeley, and UPenn. We are backed by IA Ventures.

What Attending Virtual CES 2021 Might Be Like
Why does it matter if you can get your job done faster? Are you being paid for your time or your work? Seems reasonable to take an easier job than you are qualified for if you want to have free time. Who is losing?
Hard disagree on that. As a programmer we have access to more than most accountants. How hard would it be for most programmers to put in a backdoor they could later claim was a bug?

Criminal convictions are perhaps not the best measure of trustability.
LD_PRELOAD is the normal way to add instrumentation on ELF HPC; it's more-or-less assumed by the MPI profiling facility. I'm surprised that LD_PRELOAD should be news to anyone at this stage, though. For instance, glibc has hooks for interposing that way, like a different malloc. It's definitely not general, specifically not for static binaries (Cray?). Dyninst is the usual alternative.

I'm a full stack developer that works well with clients and coworkers alike. Currently working as a developer, but there's no room for growth. Looking to relocate to anywhere on the West Coast (Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, etc.)

Interested in management positions in the future, and looking for a company where I can grow into management.
GitHub Actions will disable scheduled workflows in certain repos
I just got the following email from GitHub:

"Scheduled workflows will be disabled by default in forks of public repos and in public repos with no activity for 60 consecutive days.
W
e’re making two changes to the usage policy for GitHub Actions. These changes will enable GitHub Actions to scale with the incredible adoption we’ve seen from the GitHub community. Here’s a quick overview:

1. Starting today, scheduled workflows will be disabled by default in new forks of public repositories.

2. Scheduled workflows will be disabled in public repos with no activity for 60 consecutive days."

There were some Q&A's below that, but the thing that I'm more nervous about is the fact that 'inactive' repos will not get scheduled runs. I typically use a weekly CI job on every OSS library I set up, and for some of them, I only 'maintain' them once every 3-6 months, since they're feature complete and only need tweaks here and there.

This is a little upsetting, and I guess I'll have to write some automation that pushes a pointless commit to a text file every couple months.
Hook it up to your WiFi driver so if your AP every goes away so does the evidence of whatever you’re trying to hide. But plug the computer and AP into the same UPS.
Sorry but you'll have to explain how universality makes an area of knowledge more important, useful, serious or any other similar adjective. The human experience not only exists, but it's by definition central to us, so how is this not extremely important?

And your argument about science being different from religion therefore grouping both under philosophy is wrong simply ignores what "philosophy" is supposed to mean and how areas of knowledge relate to each other. I'm sorry, unlike your point about natural vs human sciences I can't see AT ALL what you mean here.
Had something like that. It was a RTL-Show called Tutti Frutti...but still, a really "romantic" moment :)
> Bringing up the Switch is unfair to USB-C.

Not really. Other interconnect standards have often (sadly not always) made it much harder for a small error like this to cause actual physical damage. USB-C made it easy, despite decades of learning on the subject. Yes, the fault is mostly Nintendo's, but USB-IF wasn't totally innocent either.
True, but the impressions made upon people, at that time in history, were monochrome, jittery and silent.

Linking derivatives makes sense. Replacing original works does not.

And the little things matter.

We will learn how much over time, and ideally we keep originals to benefit from the lesson.

Really, what we do by augmenting originals is lock in one best guess interpretation.

The point of history is for people to go back and see what can be learned, not settle on what everyone should have learned.

Dwellsy | Remote (USA) | Los Gatos, CA | Full-time | Dwellsy.com

Dwellsy is a spunky little search engine for home and apartment rentals that is dedicated to preventing against the kind of fraud found on Craigslist, while being less exclusionary than the other big players in the market. We've basically proven the need for our product and found our product market fit, but are now looking to expand and transform from what was effectively an MVP into something more robust and resilient, and are looking for a few motivated engineers to help us get there.

We're looking for two backend engineers with some combination of experience or interest in the real estate market, data analysis, machine learning / RNN / etc. using Python & Django (or maybe Flask) / MySQL / ElasticSearch. Depending on the candidates, this role may change, but we're looking to refactor content ingestion from external data sources as well as the API and content platform serving the frontend from what is currently a PHP & MySQL backend.

We're also looking for a frontend engineer with an eye for final-level polish and precision. Someone who can at least lightly interact with a RESTful or GraphQL backend, translate Figma designs into fast-rendering React components, and do so while writing clean, readable code.

We've got no hard and fast requirements beyond the above (still developing the job postings) but we're a small, lightly funded team with an aim to tackling big competitors, and are open to candidates of all levels. Interest, curiosity, and a willingness to own problems of all sorts are more important to us than strict experience.

If this sounds interesting to you, please contact barry@dwellsy.com, and use the subject line "HN Posting"

You could likely use modern digital techniques to make up some new testing footage that is even more awe-inspiring. So what if it's 100% inaccurate?

I'd have to give it serious thought, but if I were to agree, I'd also have to add that: The last two millennia of physics were also blindsided by it's own implications of it's discoveries in the 20th century.

Philosophy of mind I think is only a good example of all the things we still do not understand about neurology and cognitive science. I am not personally disheartened by it, as I typically get excited about unanswered questions. But I would agree modern day philosophers would be well advised to read more interdisciplinary science journals if they want to remain relevant. A good example of this is the Bereitschaftspotential from Libet's famous experiments.The experiment was sound the results were sound, the interpretations however may not have been. Diligent philosophers could have pointed this out, but it was the work of a medical researcher who did disprove it's underlying assumptions.[1][2]

Is parent/child offensive to anyone? I'd like to know sooner so I can plan for the future.
I mean, you can finesse it a zillion different ways but it's the same story. You can tell it's the same story because you get the same kinds of comments. There's always someone who hasn't seen the story. There's always some slightly different take someone could write about the story. But if these aren't duped out, the front page would be the same five stories every day and complaints about how it's the same five stories.

Just flag dupes and carry on!
Because with a standard connector they could use existing cheap suppliers for that part? And apparently one that was too cheap to properly implement the standard.
Or maybe there are other planets on this plane and either a) we didn't know to look there or b) it's really hard to look there, so we didn't.

I hope someone who knows more about stuff like this can weigh in!
When people talk about social media, they imply "mainstream social media as we know it today". We don't have the right words or categories to describe what we're talking about, but there's a big difference between Ye Olde Schoole forum of the early 2000's and modern mainstream social media.

It's like Wonder Bread verus the kind of bread you make at home with nothing but flour, water, yeast, and some salt. Yeah they're both bread, but they're not really the same thing.

Performing an operation that can fail in a constructor or destructor will you into trouble. It's a trap. You can check for initialization failure ("remember to call isObjectOkay()" or something like that) but you're basically hosed if a destructor fails.

No, exceptions are not the answer. NONE of the C++ projects I've worked on in the last 30+ years have used those in production. Exceptions are far, far worse trap.

It's funny that the teams across half a dozen companies I've been in have independently come up with just about the same set of guidelines about C++ features. It's almost like some of those features were bad ideas. :-)
Some of the most fun I have as a graduate student in computer architecture is trying to write the fastest possible code snippets for complicated chips. Working your way "down" from C/C++ is a great place to start, assuming you're familiar with either of those languages.

Take some collision detection algorithm for a game or some linear algebra kernel used in your machine learning model of preference.

If you're referencing a library that's already high-performance (e.g. Intel's MKL), what does the assembly look like? What's happening to your caches as the assembly is being executed? What are the trade-offs your compiler has to make when it comes to optimizations? How does Intel's compiler output differ from Clang? I mention these compilers in particular because they provide optimization reports.

My advisor guided me through "Computer Architecture: A Quantitative approach" by Hennessy & Patterson and it's been very eye-opening to pull back the curtain on the last logical layer of "magic" I had never fully understood. There's an enormous of amount of circuitry in the latest chip designs dedicating predicting the outcome of pending work so that we can "hide" the latency introduced by having to wait for data to arrive into the CPU core all the way from RAM. The way an instruction set architecture and compiler (e.g. x86-64, AArch64) unite to abstract away the work underneath is really one the coolest technical feats of the 20th century. Hopefully this inspires you (or anyone reading this) to go explore it. I think if you can document your exploration and communicate your findings effectively then that would be a great first step towards getting your bearings at a high level of how the "chip industry" operates.

As others here have mentioned, the chip industry is an enormous field and you could build an entire career around just the physical/mat.sci. side of fabrication for these chips. The physical side is still somewhat foreign to me, but I hope to explore it more in the years to come.
With regards to b., I think the article is saying that one comet plane is in alignment with the planetary plane, but the planetary plane itself is off by 60° from the galactic plane.
ProctorU says she's talking. She WAS talking. The professor didn't watch the flagged video, though.

Proctoring software doesn't say "fail". It just flags parts of the video for human review. Shitty teachers should be blamed.

I don't understand the hatred for such software. The alternative would be to take exams at testing centers or campuses.

Personal real world experience (I'm an OMSCS student): I was taking a ProctorTrack-proctored exam in a company meeting room. A colleague of mine hadn't read the company chat where I told I was not to be disturbed, and knocks on the door multiple times. I had to tell him to go away.

After the exam, I immediately contacted my teachers explaining what happened. Zero problems.

Another time, after starting the exam I realized I was in a bad body position (3-hours exam, I was in bed since the bedroom was the least cluttered room) and my back was hurting. I changed position by trying to keep my face in the webcam at all times (but for sure I failed for some seconds) , and again I contacted my teachers afterwards. Zero problems.

I'm sure my video was flagged both times.
Always read the fine print.

If you beat a man up such that he suffers lifelong injuries, it seems only fair to me that your punishment should also be life long.

I don't think you should necessarily spend all that time in prison, but not having access to trusted jobs is not comparable to being in pain every day for the rest of your life.

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind if more punishments were metered out in the form of community service.

The mess isn't about you, it's about the rest of us.

Old USB printer cables have a "USB-A" end that goes into your computer and the USB-B end for the printer. You can't mess that up.

I've recently handled multiple support calls from a family member due to USB-C confusion. I have to explain "This USB port is only for power, this USB port is for power and data. And don't try to try use HDMI through your USB hub because it some some strange problem. Use this other USB-C port only for your monitor".

Maybe USB C is better for a few, but it's worse for many.

Ed: From the indictment, page 8: "BitMEX personnel... conducted BitMEX operations from an office in Manhattan, New York, including but not limited to customer support, business development, and marketing, involving customers located in the United States and elsewhere ."

If[0] they posted on American forums or solicited customers on American-hosted sites, they operated in the US for the purposes of the law. You don't have to physically be somewhere to be subject to the law there. Ditto wire and mail fraud that originates overseas.

Mailing a pipebomb from Canada to the US is illegal in Canada, but it's also illegal in the US, even if it was done by a Canadian citizen who didn't step foot here.

Operating outside American AML/KYC law is not quite the same as mailing a pipe bomb, but the jurisdictional issue is hard to distinguish.

Ask HN: How do you view software engineering?
My analogy is that we are designing bowling alleys. Setting up pins and creating the lanes with the hopes that people will bowl correctly. When a beginner comes along we inflate the bumpers to help them down the lane.

Up until today this has been my understanding. But now, after releasing a specific feature to production, I realize the "beginners" aren't toddlers that need a little help getting the ball down the lane... they are actually 900lb gorillas walking in to my bowling alley, finding the stash of 22 pound bowling balls, facing with their back to the pins, and launching them wildly like the first pitch at the world series.

What's your analogy to software engineering?
