The Apple Watch Series 3 costs the same as an iPod Nano when it was new. They're literally directly comparable in price.
I get that, my dad is an engineer and these days they use pretty complicated modeling software, so he just a ignores it and improvised material choices/dimensions and such during construction. I mean it’s not like it’s reasonable to expect trained professionals to know what they are doing or educate themselves on how the software they use works.

That quote might be misleading:

"Volunteer work is an increasingly large, yet ill-understood sector of the economy. We show that monetary rewards undermine the intrinsic motivation of volunteers."

-- https://ideas.repec.org/p/zur/iewwpx/007.html

The earlier sentence make it clear they are talking about monetary rewards specifically, not any kind of reward. A t-shirt might notionally have a $ value, but it is not a monetary reward. Plus, the nature of a branded t-shirt has an obvious team-participation / prestige value.

If rewards demotivate people, we should also avoid positive recognition, or praise, which is a form of reward; of course this is unintuitive, so I assume monetary rewards are a special case.
So it’s like the intel CPU serial number all over again, except maybe more granular (specific), but at least mutable.
I built a huge built in bookshelf for my wife, just without all the lighting like this article. I had very little experience with woodworking and did all sorts of things wrong at first, but just adopted an attitude of play with it.

It took nearly a month to get all the oak that I needed ordered and delivered (who knew there was huge demand for oak from artisanal whiskey distillers), so in that time I just spent hours watching YouTube videos, sketching things out, getting tools I needed, etc. The process wasn’t much different than when I’m building a software system, it’s just a different medium.

After the bookshelves I felt comfortable redoing my entire kitchen, including doing the plumbing. Just be fine with things taking you an entire afternoon that might take a person with experience an hour.

I’d say just play around with it, realize there will be many frustrating unanticipated things that come up as a beginner, and get curious about solving the problems that crop up!
So by that logic, you’d be as comfortable being entirely surrounded by former violent criminals at your work as you would be seated exclusively by citizens with spotless records?
I am quite capable of "serious, violent crime". Have I ever done so? No.

I've had a relatively easy life, all things considered. I've never been truly desperate. I've never wondered where my next meal will come from. I never made any major mistakes, like messing around with drugs or alcohol.

I'm not planning on committing any violent crimes, ever. But I could. You should beware.
I was biking around downtown Seattle area a couple days ago and came across your office by chance. Nice location! I was curious what the inside looked like, it looks like it was maybe converted from residential or hotel space.

I wish I could just have one port. When at home, the port would go to a hub, and the hub connects a few monitors, a keyboard, a mouse, and power. Out and about, the hub would go to power.

Sadly, on my expensive as hell, powerful work supplied macbook pro, I need to plug three different USB-C dongles in to get multiple monitors, and I have to plug the USB keyboard and USB mouse into separate dongles, and power into a third. Why? I don't know. It's just the only way it works.
>Many "tasty beverages you would call beer in the US" barely qualify for a drink in germany, either because it tastes like water with a drop of beer or has almost no real taste at all (ie, tastes artificial with flavor). That's on top of the poor water quality in the US that contributes to a (IMO) chalky and flat base taste.

And this is why so many travelers to the US buy "imported" beers at bars without knowing that they've been tricked into overpaying for our mid-tier national brands.

>A criminal record in the US is a curse for life

The US system probably is overly harsh -- in Ireland it's probaby overly lenient and the pendulum affect is that we've criminals being called in to court with literally hundreds of prior convictions and then they're let off with suspended sentences and then go straight back to what they were doing.

Equally frustrating -- to see the guilty just walk off and laugh as it is to see the redeemed struggle having conceded their mistakes. Justice is very important, hard and complex. I don't doubt that but their clearly is room for improvement on both sides.
Most of the rest of the issue is buying cheap adaptors and cheap cables. Get a name brand cable and verify what they are capable of. If you buy a $3 "MOKiN" brand USB-C cable and it won't charge your device, you've basically self-owned. Likewise any number of random cables on Amazon.

Lots of decent brands out there who make cables that do what they say they will do: Belkin, Monoprice, Anker, etc.

Another tip I got which is worth it's weight in cable in this case: If you need both USB-C and Thunderbolt cables, get different colors of cable and be consistent about it. I know a guy who buys all his cables in specific colors (even when the adaptor is different) so he can reach into his gear bag and get the right thing every time.
Algorithmic tests aren't great for any level. You want to ask someone to solve practical technical tasks that are relevant to the job they are applying for. For an entry level job this may be a programming task (build this one screen). For a more senior position you'd want to ask about things like architecture and practical trade-offs. You could use a whiteboard for this: I don't think it's whiteboards people object to. It's the irrelevant algorithmic questions.
>As article outlines, the provincial government passed an emergency order to allow police access to this information

What was the reasoning behind it? So police can raid/arrest covid-19 patients?
> Does a background check in the US imply that they'd never consider anyone with any blemish on their record whatsoever?

No, but federal jobs usually get dozens or hundreds of applicants. Removing felons is usually one of the first filters they use to narrow the field.
Why corn and wheat are the foundation of our modern diet
I got a cheap logic analyzer (salae-like clone) and used sigrok this summer to debug a bug (took a week and turns out I never actually turned on the component from the gpio). Trying to match the SCL and SDA lines to the datasheet was a great. Want to get an oscilloscope next :)
I had that happen.

I knew I had successfully put in a 10' piece of plastic conduit before. I tried it again, wiggled a little too hard, and crack. The 1" conduit is not as flexy as 1/2" and that was enough to cause a problem. I use a towel on the windshield end now.
How much of total revenue and/or passenger miles does business travel make up? I mean, I believe it's more than 0.001%, but how much.
You say this, but most prison time is done for extreme crime that everyone agrees with. In addition this, prison time is usually reserved for not just crimes we agree with but crimes we all agree are extreme.

Case in point for this specific case it was violent crime, which I'm sure we can all agree is way worse than a racist tweet.
I'm a grown man and I would LOVE to be in that workshop and learn those skills!
All of this just underscores what a terrible standard USB-C is. You have no idea what's what anymore by looking at it. Everything seems to fit together, but if you do it, you damage your devices.

It would have been better if they'd launched another dozen different plug standards. In situations when there's only one thing you should be connecting to your device, that's the way to go. Universal sockets only make sense if they're actually universal.

Oh never noticed that. But I think that's because its just annoyance for the people who don't care about privacy. And those who does can just opt out.

Yes, this bolsters the author's point that it is essential to create more opportunities because what she had to do to help her friend was only possible because of her extraordinary connections.

Helo HN, joreg here, one of the devvvvs team of 5. We've just released a preview of the new 3d engine VL.Stride for vvvv. It is based on the open-source .NET engine http://stride3d.net

It is free for non-commercial use without any restrictions, no registration required. Windows only for now.

Looking forward to your feedback and please let us know if this is something that could be useful for you!
It's also absurd to respond to a real-world problem like this by saying "well actually if everyone knew what they were doing and behaved perfectly, this wouldn't be an issue". Of course that's the case, but that sort of utopianism is unhelpful in the real world, away from the informed masses of HN.
Suicide Linux (2009)
Yeah, that I totally get. I just wasn't sure if you were being literal about the other part, which would seem really weird to me.
On the other hand, what kind of people are going to logically participate in an event where the reward is a Hacktober branded T-shirt? What are their likely motivations?
I know what the definition is. Your second statement doesn't support your first one. Apple provides hardware and software support for their devices at a far greater level and duration than nearly every other hardware manufacturer. They're not artificially limiting the lifetime of their products, they're ending support for devices that, in most cases, literally can't support new features that they're adding.

The T2 is a security chip. It ensures the integrity of the system. If that integrity is compromised, the chip shouldn't allow third parties to replace components unless those components can be replaced and the integrity restored. You're acting like the T2 was added just to make repairs harder instead of to make the device more secure which, by design, makes repairs more difficult.

It's the same reason that car manufacturers don't let repair shops generate new key fobs unless they're registered with the manufacturer.
Homebound | Front-end / Full-Stack Engineers / Engineering Managers | Full-time | Denver or Remote (US-only)

Homebound is a "full-stack startup"[1] in the US homebuilding market. Our mission is to help communities rebuild after natural disasters such as the recent wildfires in California, Oregon, and Washington which have unfortunately destroyed thousands of homes. We primarily build single family homes in Northern & Southern California along with the technology to make the home building process more modern, transparent, affordable, and rapid. We were founded after the Tubbs Fire [2] which destroyed thousands of homes in Sonoma, Napa, and Lake County, and threatened our CEO's home [3], and are deeply connected to the mission.

The challenge and opportunity for engineers at Homebound is to build delightful experiences for a range of different types of users -- from homeowners to construction professionals. We are still a small (<15) engineering team and are looking for key contributors who have both strong skills and also a passion for establishing best practices for our future Homebound teammates. We are dedicating to building a team based around three principals: community, craftsmanship, and communication. Finally, we are backed by world-class investors and led by experienced software and construction executives.

We'd love to connect with mission-driven, quality-oriented engineers and engineering managers who err on the side of over-communication. Email joinengineering@homebound.com or direct to me at donnie@homebound.com.

I believe what the person above was referring to is the dichotomy of the people cheering for prisoners getting jobs while cancelling people for a fairly innocuous tweet, however tasteless. While the prisoners may have paid for their crime, there isn't always as clear a path out of the purgatory that is becoming the social pariah of upsetting "the mob" in the Twitterverse (though, past a few professions, I'm unsure how much sway they hold).
Must be nice to live in a country where you see an example of this and even have a glimmer of hope something would be done about it. Or even a glimmer of hope that “cops should have known better”. Or even a single time there were even minor consequences for illegally detaining protestors.

This would just be approximately example number 10 million of this happening in the US.
Don’t know about 686, but 646 controlled the text color. POKE 646,0 would change it to black.
And in a year when it needs to be replaced they’ll sell you another.
Definitely in the UK. You can ask for full criminal records.

Did they complete a sentence that was decided to be appropriate for the crime they committed? Then I don't mind at all. They can't change their past, but they can control their future.

If they are still dangerous after serving their time, then they should be held in prison longer.
> They'll refuse to unlock physical devices while happily answering thousands of requests from the US and other govermnents for users' iCloud data[0].

They are required by law to do the latter. They are not required to to do the former (or at least are willing to go to court to defend that belief).

> They also don't allow users to encrypt data stored in iCloud

The article you linked does not back up this assertion. It says they chose not to automatically encrypt user backups to the cloud, at the FBI's request. I'm sure if you encrypt data and upload it to iCloud, they will not delete your encrypted data.
I'm disappointed he isn't releasing the source for these or LibNC. We definitely need non-academic, non-Python machine learning implementations. Anyone know what's up with that?
Smaller fined for regular companies will have much more of an impact. Companies will realize the too can be targeted.
Apparently the terminology has evolved since I studied the subject; I'm not familiar with current trends; some of the terms seem rather to be vendor specific marketing jargon for a subset or cross-section of PLM, ERP and CRM functions, or to mix up methodologies and supporting software.
