I like doing Ops type work, and enjoy simplifying down problems/solutions as much as possible, but no more.

Only interested in doing short term work right now, as I am planning on going on a mission for church in the near future. I can do remote, or in person if you are located near me.
Source? What cognitive skills are impacted?
y’all do remote ?
8' (or even 10', depending on your model) studs can probably fit inside the vehicle if you fold down the rear seats and use a towel to protect your dash. If you have a sunroof, it's even possible to transport a few 12' boards by sliding them up through the sunroof and out over the hood/bonnet (again, with a towel to protect the roof). It looks ridiculous, requires taking slower backroads and is probably best done when there is little/no traffic but it is doable.
How to Avoid Overengineering
OTP = Open Telecom Platform [1], though I think the full name is avoided nowadays.

On an unrelated note, I've always been fascinated with the Erlang VM. The idea that you could hot-load modules and have multiple versions of the same module running at once seems really useful. I wonder why other runtimes haven't adopted these features?

A USB-C PD brink specifies which voltage and amp combos it supports charging, and the one that the dock & switch ask for as their 'optimal' power profiles most apple USB-C bricks do not deliver, despite having the wattage capability for them.
"Defeatist" implies that it is somehow up to us but, realistically, we are just observers here, commenting on Hacker News about things we have no effect on. (Or so I assume. Are you doing anything about launching satellites?)

I don't claim that a public satellite network will never happen. However, as an observer, projects that are happening are more interesting to me than projects that aren't happening (yet).
Agree with all of this.

People act really shocked at the level of DIY I get up to, but really the main secret is having a go.

You can definitely get as close to as good a finish as a pro, it just takes longer and is more fun for you!

The current project is a home office from scratch; which basically meant learning how to build a wood frame building. YouTube is a wonderful resource! (First fit is done, plastering next)
“How any normal person is supposed to grasp this soup of standards, built atop a single port that looks the same, is anyone’s guess.”

How is any normal person gonna buy 3/8” shrink wrap tubing, a heat gun, and strain relief a batch of Lightning cables every 6 months? So they don’t last 3 months.

I know it’s irrelevant.
Audiovisual Speech Enhancement in YouTube Stories
It's also good for if you have a VGA LCD, automatic clock tuning works really well with the root weave.
And the chief of police responsible for these abuses is now the federal Minister for Public Safety. Good times.
It varies a lot depending on the program. $0.003 for you as a customer is way too low, since you can redeem them for actual goods on their websites for usually $0.007. That's still way too low if you actually want to fly anywhere. Benchmark value of points when redeeming for economy is between $0.01 and $0.015. When redeeming for business its $0.03-0.06. When redeeming for first, its $0.10-$0.20

In general rule of thumb is Alaska miles are worth $0.02, American are worth $0.013, United are worth around $0.013, Delta are worth $0.01 (since you can redeem them for $0.01 as cash towards paid tickets if you have one of their credit cards).

Hotel points are different, Hilton, IHG and Club Carlson are around $0.005, Marriott are worth around $0.009, and Hyatt are worth $0.016.

But I digress, that's value to the end user. We're debating what the credit card company pays the airline for it.
This sounds like if the designers of the web made a Linux distro.
Not all random strings decompress, also termination is an explicit symbol that can only happen once, so for most random inputs it only consumes a tiny amount of the input.
1. There is not enough information in the original tweet to determine if this person is working full-time at either company or part-time. Both companies employ enough contractors.

2. As other comments said, this might not be ethical but may still be legal. Full-time employees are not hourly, and as long as they do their job hours shouldn't matter.

3. If in California, there is no non-compete.

4. Due to it being FB and Google, they can get into trouble from an IP standpoint of they leak or use IP from one at the other.

5. Logistics can be interesting. But it is certainly possible for a person to claim they are remote from different timezones at each company to minimize conflicts.

6. Still I can't see how they can continue this for long if friend of friend already knows about this. Someone in there social circle will get jealous and report them.
Actions have consequences and after breaking major societal taboos like murder or rape it is very difficult or impossible to repair the damage a person has done to society. I have trouble judging people negatively if they don't want to associate with a person who has murdered or raped someone.
> A criminal record in the US

It's worse than that. I've been denied an apartment for having an arrest on my record, even though I wasn't convicted.
Would you prefer to be murdered or to recieve a racist remark directed towards you?
> Viruses in the 80s used to wipe everything

Not all viruses do it intentionally, some are originally rather harmless but has unfortunate side-effects in its replication code. For example, when you use a floppy disk in a different format, the virus tries to overwrite it anyway...
I'm sorry; if I'm aware of a violent crime history, I'm tossing that application into the recycle bin.

Do you want to be exposing co-workers to someone like that?

Isn't an organization exposing themselves to liability? Suppose you knowingly hire someone with a violent history and they cause a violent incident.
Here in New York we've been hovering at around 700 new cases per day since the beginning of June. During most of that time, indoor dining was closed, gyms were closed, theaters were closed, and by my firsthand estimates 90-95% of citygoers wore masks in public, even on the streets. I don't think it's fair to blame leadership for not getting the cases down to 0, because we've tried very hard and we're still not there. It seems the only way out of COVID is a vaccine.

13 years served is pretty short for murder in most states. It's more likely aggravated assault, robbery, or less likely something like negligent homicide (e.g., killing someone in a car wreck while intoxicated). Assaults and robberies are far more common.

How are there multiple people here in the thread that say that the port on the Switch is not a USB-C port, when it says so in the official specs _right on their website_? https://www.nintendo.com/switch/tech-specs
It's also how we got Titanic, Hamilton, Saving Private Ryan, and the entire genre of Westerns. Ancient Aliens is very dumb, granted, is it so bad that it's worth discarding the entire idea of historical entertainment?
As someone dismissing other people's experiences with "back here in real world" remark, OP could really benefit from a moment of introspection. That comment is unlikely to trigger it, but at least it's a try.
I like it

I bought the original USB-C-only Macbook and I loved it. Now I have a Macbook Pro at home and another Macbook Pro at work, four Thunderbolt ports on each.

I think the big problem is the fact that it's still very implementation dependent and, as the author said, it's easy to get peripherals (particularly power-related) that don't do what you expected them to do. Then again, I have the same problem with USB1&2. How many times have you bought a cable and found that it only carries power, not data, because it only has two wires inside? That has happened to me dozens of times over the past decade. Still happens today. But when you get peripherals that work, USB-C and Thunderbolt3 are terrific. I don't use and peripherals at home. I have a dock on my desk at work that gives me gigabit ethernet, external keyboard and mouse, external hard drive, two displays, power, and headphones all through one Thunderbolt cable that takes one second to plug or unplug. It's terrific.

I remember old men ranting when the iMac didn't have a floppy drive, how it needed more serial ports, parallel ports, and fewer USB ports because no one uses USB, it's too expensive and it's never going to be practical. Those arguments didn't age well. USB-C is rolling out more slowly than previous options, but it is rolling out and it's terrific.
Getting guilt right and what punishment to dispense to the guilty are different questions. For example you could have 100-member juries with unanimous verdicts required, but also execute anyone convicted of any crime.
Just seconding "A Tour of C++". I picked it up last year to learn modern C++ since my professional experience has solely been with older C++ standards and code bases. The book is clearly written, though sometimes very brief. It is what it calls itself, a tour. If you already know older versions of C++, it's great. If you don't know any C++ but do know how to program (more than just the basics), it's a good place to start. If you're just learning to program, it'd probably be both overwhelming (too deep too fast) and underwhelming (too shallow in critical areas for novices). It assumes you know the basics, so start with a different book and come to this one later.
Thanks for making this point. This is what I was trying to get at. Racist thoughts, to some, are seen as offences in the same way murder is, while they're not.

Murder is a very clearly defined criminal act, to tweet something racist is an expression of free speech. Racism is inexcusable, but in an entirely different way than murder.
You can find this phenomenon of self-appointed protectors of values everywhere: the clergy, rap purists, rustaceans, Apple users... in their echo chambers they are always right and only they know how things should be done. If you somehow have the misfortune of treading upon their proverbial holy turf and doing something they consider against their teachings... boy will they get pissed. Especially if you make their world more understandable to those not in the know, then you're immediately a problem.

This sounds like just another form of gatekeeping.
Where do the algorithms come from?
As much as I dislike US overreach, this is a very predictable result of operating a venue like this without any us licenses etc. Most companies ban (or limit) US citizen/resident users to avoid exactly this sort of thing...
I don't have any questions, but I just started reading it a few days ago, and I'm re-implementing it in Nim (which is an interesting experience). One issue I ran into right away was that my code from step 1 was segfaulting, and the issue was that I accidentally called `mprotect` before copying the memory into the buffer. Easy mistake to make, so you might want to add a warning for people who aren't just copy-pasting the code.
Yes it is totally outlandish. This was leaked, not open sourced. No one is going to seriously contribute to a project that can't be legally distributed.
How to Solve the “You’re Using That Table? ” Problem
Depending on your location, you may have a local makerspace, tool library, or similar; oftentimes places like that will have beginner classes on the cheap. Granted, that may all be on hold presently for Covid-19, but could be a nice thing to bookmark for later.

Edit: as an example from my own locale, the Denver (Colorado, USA) Tool Library typically has a beginner's welding class for $150: https://denvertoollibrary.org/upcoming/welding-101-fjbkt-k4g..., though they've suspended all in-person classes while the pandemic rages.
Sure, I kind agree. But- as an employer, am I mandated to hire a pedophile for my software developer job? I just object morally, and the company is my private property. Is this really a good use of state power, to compel me to hire an evil person?

Anyways, it'd be impossible to enforce, because I could just say the pedophile failed my coding test. Even if he sued me, it'd be very unlikely to prove his case, and he's probably starting at a deficit with a court.

The issue is that people here are confusing levels of analysis- 'society' should help ex-offenders find gainful employment, but I am not 'society', I am just one company. Society should also clean up pollution, but that doesn't mean that I'm personally obligated to scrub a Superfund site myself

In Bulgaria (EU) they often ask you to provide proof that you are currently not being prosecuted, but apart from that, the only time I’ve been asked to get a criminal record was when applying for a citizenship. And having one is not something that would stop the process, but can be grounds for denial.

Programmers can get a free pass for a lot of things here though.
I have a curious question, hope you can shed some light.

I am an American. I grew up in a highly educated household that valued education, being kind to each other and rejecting nationalism. We don't hold up our flag and somehow feel uncomfortable with patriotism. Our family constantly argues about the US military and its might, its wrong doings and its good deeds.

With that said, I've interacted with several Swiss friends and found a repeating pattern of opinions (which we laugh off as jokes) - of how proud Americans are about their country. For me and my social circle in a mid-large city in US, it is completely the opposite. Even during college, none of my fellow friends had any shred of pride in being an American (I studied Engineering). It was mostly looking up to Switzerland (and EU, esp. Scandanavia) as utopian paradise.

Could you please help provide some light on the following questions that I would feel very uncomfortable asking otherwise:

- Do Swiss people also feel shame of being patriotic?

- As an outsider, we see Swiss flags advertised on pretty much every Swiss company, product and service. But, I realize that it may be a mirage and not the actual on-the-grounds situation in Switzerland. Do you see the Swiss pride internally as well or it is just a commercial brandname/marketing ploy since Swiss brand is so strong.

- What, if any, are the views about anti-patriotism that is exemplified by Germans. Hardly see German flags and patriotism there seems to be muted if not outright rejected. Is there any sort of friction?
I work in compliance for an OTC desk that supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, others: https://dvchain.co

We conduct AML on everyone who is onboarded, but we're of the opinion that trades should not be public information.
Well, they are incentivizing them.
Just to get a notion of the scale:

> Every time the loop runs, it will check the top of the mailbox (mailbox is last-in-first-out) for messages that match what we need and process them.

Nope, erlang mailbox is fifo with filtering. When a process sends messages, they are delivered in the same order they were sent.
I've found distributed teams with members in different timezones already try to minimize meetings and are really good at organizing themselves through email,slack,scrum boards, etc.

This may sound like I got lucky finding companies that work this way, but I dont think it is, all remote companies usually have employees and even founders who want some liberty to organize their schedule and only care if work gets done at the end of the week.

During what are agreed to be my regular work hours I am expected to answer chats, so hiking would not be an option.

When I only had one job I was wasting a lot of time playing bridge online.

I was looking for small teams because I was afraid large companies would have more measures in place to avoid situations like mine.
> principles of science and logic as far as we're "aware" apply "outside" of the "human experience"

On the contrary if you take a critical thinking course, you'll see that your logic does apply to the human experience
This part in particular gets me everytime. Imagine a complaint about big government that demands that big government shuts down people the complainer doesn't like. Sounds insane, but is par for the course in complaints about big tech.

Well, not sitting-in-the-oval-office people, but anyway.
So what is the state of the art in auto upscaling and detail re- imagining? There's a lot of 240p VHS transfer music videos on youtube I'd like to see less bad versions of without regards to accuracy.
Some of these design decisions precisely emulate the thought process of some 'architects' (never understood why that word was used for software) that I've worked with. They'd call some of these 'being resilient'.
Many BASICs of the time did lazy tokenizing. You would bury code to be executed later, or binary data for graphics or assembly language after certain tokens, numbers or the closing quote of a string. BBC BASIC would tokenize on ENTER, ATOM BASIC didn't tokenize, but like a good text adventure game, you could write P. instead of PRINT, and P. in RAM was only two bytes compared to PRINT which was five bytes.

It isn't.

1) historians have no power over random people colorizing, upscaling and frame interpolating some old videos for fun
