Wasn't the post basically doing just that?
They talk about 5G like it's a new and revolutionary thing. Is this US or iPhone specific? I am on 5G for almost a year now.
My email address is in my profile. Personal is best, I've been crunching it on my own time.
I wouldn't rely on MBTI to making hiring or other high stakes decisions. But it's not completely off base either. I've almost always tested as INTP (and occasionally INTJ) and strongly identify with the archetypes for both.
The amazing thing to me is that it doesn't even look that good. You download the game (~150GB), then the game sits there downloading and compiling shaders for ages. It's a shame because some aspects of it are actually quite good (although they need to make a competitive mode with no COD-bullshit)

I think the developers have admitted the problem, so hopefully things will improve.
Telecom companies renamed some 4G networks 5G because they technically fall within the standard.
5Ge is a marketing term AT&T invented as a rebrand of 4G LTE. It isn't 5G, but it's probably faster than real 5G for now.

Interesting that they keep showing shots of the empty auditorium. You'd think they'd try to gloss over the lack of audience.
It is revolutionary when Apple does it.
Saying Simplified Chinese makes less sense in terms of etymology while only providing a handful of examples is cherry-picking, since over two thousands characters are simplified[0].

I can provide a few examples where characters are more "etymological" in Simplified version vs in Traditional: 國 vs 国，黨 vs 党

I will use this as its pretty and useful but just wondering is there a limit on the size of text... if the trend continues, it will be one character per 100vh.
The problem is that it requires an exceptional SW designer to design a good interface for git.

The internal model of git is exceptionally well designed and maintained by much better than average hackers. They master the crude UI concepts we have today and obviously they don't care.

It's free and open software. So everyone working on it does what they like. Obviously no one has volunteered to write a great and consistent front-end. At least not successful enough that users would know and use it. But shouting that no one volunteers as the orginal twitter poster does makes just no sense.
The effort of learning a different grammar is dwarfed by the effort of memorizing a sufficiently large dictionary to understand everyday speech. To read at an elementary school level you need 5-20k words.
They are playing up 5G to get people to buy a 5G phone, it isn't an attempt to get people to think Apple just invented 5G; its called marketing.
Nice straw man! Covid infection fatality rates (in other words, what bleepblorp actually used as an example) are well known and not at all grey. Other stuff about covid that you picked to knock down his argument, is, in fact grey. His point was that there is a lot that can be done about obvious falsehoods, not that we have to decide on every single grey area.
My definition is pretty straightforward: legacy is every system of which maintainers don't have complete knowledge.

Also legacy is a spectrum: there is a difference between that side project you coded 2 months ago and forgot about, and that mysterious cobol mainframe the bank found when reworking the office to open floor.
Luckily a large part of this HN discussion already goes into detail about this.
For now we just changed to AGPL as a defensive move to avoid these threats. It was an unplanned move that we didn't even think about few days ago.

Next step is really to consider what we want to do in the future and if necessary add a CLA before we merge next contribution.

We never planned to do any commercial licenses (we're focused on our Cloud offering) but it seems like a valid option in case of these corporations who want to resell our product but not open source their modifications.
The quality traffic that comes from an HN launch is precisely the reason that so many people write these follow up posts specifically aimed at getting another taste of said traffic.
I like serverless because it scales to zero easily by default which keeps costs down for super low use personal apps.
No talk of Spotify support for homepods. That’s worrying
My iPhone 12 is legacy because it's based on an iPhone released in 2007 and the software is also legacy because it's based on Unix which is 50+ years old. Glass is thousands of years old so it's legacy technology and the molecules are the same as those from the age of dinosaurs so it's very very legacy.
And now they're landlords, and will slowly become guilty of everything they denounced

> Devil's advocate but why shouldn't they?

Because they aren't making the choices that result in the deaths.

If you force the industry to pay for the negative externalities of the industry, the fixes/costs can be baked into the product (e.g., safety equipment, emissions standards).

If you force the industry to pay for things that are the result of government (e.g. overly-permissive licensing standards, building large suburbs that require vehicles) or consumer behavior (e.g., driving drunk, reckless driving), you'll either: (1) destroy the industry or (2) create strong incentives for the industry to lobby government to make such behavior impossible (say by passing an amendment to ban the consumption of alcohol).

You also either create a situation where victims can double-dip, getting paid both from the industry and from the individual consumer—who has already paid in aggregate by paying the industry; or a situation where the consumer has no direct responsibility, which will likely have the effect of riskier behavior; at least until the industry successfully lobbies the government.
You make excellent points -- the point related to culture is the most common I've heard from people outside Portland (particularly non-white people).

I think the only things you omitted are the differences in weather and the size of the cities.

- Portland is a fairly small city (especially inner portland) with a long history of anti-growth sentiment. The result is very rural agricultural areas _just_ outside of Portland.

- The weather patterns bring different wildlife and kinds of beauty. While the forests outside SF are quite pretty, they are also very different than the wet douglas fir forests up north. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder -- Portland also extends into the hills and provides famous views of Mt. Hood from the SW hills. The portland zoo for instance, is like going from a city into a rain forest.

The oregon coast is cold and rainy 95% of the year, not the most fun place to visit.
You can consider "legacy" as something that's in an ascending curve in TCO.

Can you give me a quick and dirty nutshell profile of being on the town council?

Politics is not my forte and I'm running into the fact that it is pertinent to doing this kind of work. My general impression is that being a council member is a part-time elected unpaid position. Is that correct? Is there anything else you would add to that nutshell profile?

Thank you for your comment. Much appreciated.
5G phone with no 5G to use and the carriers have been working on 5G for the past 3 to 5 years?

Verizon just announced they are expanding today their 5g in three US cities... yet in reality there isn't much 5G now in those cities they mentioned.

Pointless marketing by all!

The movie revolves around misunderstanding and incomplete information. There are people on facebook trying to cause such misunderstandings using selective clips, and quotes all the time.
Consider the BLM protests, most of the cases, are kind of grey area. People don't have the full information. There are much more clear cut cases around BLM could have focused on. Yet they chose these ones. Why? They pick the controversial ones, over witch people will argue endlessly.

AT&T defines LTE with better back haul as “5G”. It’s BS.
I think the latest thinking is that all people of Japan to varying degrees are descended from the Jomon people along with other populations migrating from mainland Asia over millennia.

This pattern - early hunter gatherer populations forming the substratum that later mixed with larger migrations of agricultural populations - is not unique to Japan.

It's quite similar to what you find in the paleogenetics and history of most regions of the world, including Europe and South Asia.
You said “probably read the ”Arthsastra”.

Uh huh, and no one talks about the negatives of the gold standard. Wealth inequality was highest then. How high? The wealth hoard that Rockefeller had in that system equates to trillions in today's money. He would call Bezos a filthly poor.

In the old standard those with "money" had a death grip on it. Today's grip by the rich is barely an infant's grab in comparison. JP Morgan bailed out the US gov from his private liquidity back in the day.

Many of downfalls of today's system, which is not by faith. That's straight up flat earther level research. It's a complex system based more on import/export rates along with debt to fulfillment ratios. Take an econ 101 class or pick up a book from the library to get a better run down. Anyways, the downfalls come from early implementation problems and micro management. Micro management and mishandling can be seen in the Zimbabwe scenario. That didnt happen in a bubble. Mugabe embezzled tons of money, over taxed, did land redistribution of farms to those that didnt know how to manage the land, and implemented a pseudo command control economy. Nope, its "fiat currency's" fault. That's the equivalent of stubbing your toe and blaming an enemy religion.

Is capitalism and current money policy perfect? Hell no. But it's been the best system so far to actually even out wealth thus far. Again, not perfect (by a lot), but its opened up far better than the past systems. This demand of burn it down is just childish, flat earth level ranting. Read a 101 book on current micro and macro econ before taking hot-take cherry picked talking points as defining gospel.

> I'm actually really passionate about recruiting and improving the recruiting process anywhere I work, I'd love you to elaborate on this.

Unfortunately this is a really complex topic and I'm afraid I'm not nearly knowledgeable or experienced enough to give any meaningful advice in a concise way.

Say a candidate is to be hired for developing and maintaining a line of business app. In this case it's important for them to know the programming environment, frameworks and tools, as well as working with large programs or legacy code if applicable.

Start by asking a few "no brainers" sprinkled into a general conversation about their previous work experience and increase the "difficulty level" from there.

There will come a point at which the only honest answer will be "I don't know" or "I'd have to look that up", which is the perfect opportunity to just hand them a tablet (or laptop) and let them do so. This is an excellent way to learn how they look-up technical information (which sites do they use, how long does it take them, do they use meaningful keywords).

Another effective way of judging someone's skill is asking them to point out problems with a small piece of code or have them discuss required modifications to meet some constraint (e.g. sort a dataset by one of a user-selectable set of criteria, but you can only read each item once and the dataset doesn't fit into memory - a common problem with archival data stored on tape).

These are just some pointers, but they all have two things in common: they require the interviewer to know what the candidate is going to work on and they need more preparation work than just a checklist that reads "knows how to implement an AVL-tree in Python" or "can tell the arguments of all 6 overloads of std::transform_reduce() in C++17".

To be exact, Hunminjeongeum (훈민정음) is what the King Sejong actually created. It is, in addition to the stated goal, thought to be the ultimate linguistic geekery by the King because one of the first books printed in Hunminjeongeum was Dongguk Jeongun [1], which set out to standardize the "orthodox" Chinese pronunciation in Korea. As always that didn't go well; the book does tell a lot about the Middle Korean despite of its failure.

That's closer. We don't want snark here because it's much less interesting than it feels and because it makes the community nasty. Since that's the default outcome for internet forums, it takes conscious effort to cultivate the opposite.

> For one, the client must not be able to tell the server "what happened" (e.g. "I shot player B"), because that would make cheating trivial without significant extra development effort.

The distinction I'm making is not between "I'm now moving forward" and "I'm at x position", it's between "I'm now moving forward" (mutation) and "I started moving forward at time t" (what happened).

> Rather, the client simply transmits only its own input for the server to process in its simulation. The server then gives the authoritative answer as to "what happened" to all clients.

This glosses over too much and doesn't pick a side - direct mutation or event log? How does the server simulate the game state in the face of out-of-order or dropped events?

> I don't think anybody has ever shipped anything like what you propose to simulate a real-time game, but if they did, it would be more of a curiosity.

The lag compensation system keeps a history of all recent player positions for one second. If a user command is executed, the server estimates at what time the command was created as follows:

Command Execution Time = Current Server Time - Packet Latency - Client View Interpolation

Then the server moves all other players - only players - back to where they were at the command execution time. The user command is executed and the hit is detected correctly. After the user command has been processed, the players revert to their original positions.

Everything in Quake 3, both client and server, happens in response to events. Player input like mouse movement and keypresses, and also packets received from the network, all go through a unified event system. Even the passing of time is communicated to the engine using a separate type of event. In addition to decoupling the engine from operating system specific code, this opens up an interesting possibility. During normal gameplay it’s possible to record all the events going through the queue in a journal file.
> Here's the basis of that claim [1].

Based on a skim of the paper, this experiment seems to only plan out how individuals study material on the same day, not distributed over a period of time that lasts multiple days.

In order to test how much of the material was retained in long-term memory, they tested the subjects on the material again after one week.

Spaced Repetition software (anki, mnemosyne, and supermemo) will distribute the learning across multiple days regardless of the algorithm they use. I don't believe the paper cited is using the same testing method that SRS systems use.

Piotr Wozniak (the creator of Supermemo) has collaborated on a couple of papers regarding this topic. I have not found many researchers who are studying it and creating algorithms in quite the same way.

There are a few papers cited in a blog post / self-published supermemo wiki here [1] that discuss a proposed two-component model of memory that explain in greater detail why learning on increasing intervals of time (days, not in the structure of repetitions on the same day) can lead to a higher stability of memory.

Being able to check what class an element has would be absolutely critical to that use-case.
imo Traditional written Chinese (what the Japanese call Kanji and that's used outside of China) is easier than simplified written Chinese. While hand writing traditional Chinese is harder, more complicated characters are made of other characters with a related meaning. Consequently, you can guess what the word means. Conversely with simplified, there less sub characters, so there's a lot of lost context. Easier to write by hand is also not so much of an advantage anymore given computers.

If you're going to learn to read or write, learn traditional. It's easy to read simplified, but not so great the other way around.
> It's one of the reasons why I point people to using Wordpress + SEO plugins like Yoast, which deal with most if not all of these edge cases automatically.

This is pretty good advice, though what we see more commonly is that Yoast is misconfigured (or not configured at all), which causes more problems than it solves. Another thing that happens is solutions like Yoast will throw lots of errors that actually don't matter because Yoast's goal is to drive interaction with Yoast. It's not always easy to make the distinction.

But yes, for a lot of people "just use Wordpress" is a good solution, and an attentive Yoast install can be super helpful!
“Labor seems endemic to the human condition”

Firstly, this is contestable, and secondly it creates a tautology.

But also - consider that that humans have cognitive and physical limits.

Even if there is in principle always new opportunity created by automation, which I do find plausible, I see no logic supporting the idea that these new opportunities would necessarily be widely addressable by the majority of humans.
There's a lot more to learning a different language than learning substitutions.

For starters, there is hardly any bijective mapping between words. Translating 'run' to German could mean any of 'rennen, renne, rennst, rennt, renn, laufen, laeuft' and I am sure I am missing quite a bit.

And that only scratches the surface, let's not get started about Grammar or idioms, etc.

The word order really only adds negligible overhead.
