This is exactly what I want to learn x)

C/C++ for robotic, Math for data science and complex code/architecture for my day to day job.

Which books or online courses do you recommande ?
Is that a challenge or an honest question, I really can't tell?

If it's a question, probably because of its association with night and darkness, and it's contrast with bright colors.

If it's a challenge, give me a basis because you're fighting common sense. I'm not here to convince you that black is intimidating in a way that pink is not.
120 hz sounds like it would hurt battery life alot.
Every single smart TV I have owned was complete and utter garbage and I am a tech person who carefully reviews what they buy.

I went with a Sony for the display tech but dear God is AndroidTV hot garbage. Interfaces, UX, everything terrible. Worst of all are the $20 main processors used in these things. They feel as if they're run on a 2007 BlackBerry.

The lackluster solution is to get a TV box (AppleTV, Xiami stuff...idk) but why is that even necessary.
A-ha. That explains why my 11 pro front glass is absolutely disgusting, covered in scratches.
(For the rest of us, the difference is 8.6 mm, or somewhere between the width of a pencil and an AAA battery).
Parental leave, vacation, healthcare, retirement, are all typically better in other developed countries. I, like you, get paid a heck of a lot more than my friends in those countries, but if something happens to me (say I get caught up in a mass shooting or get cancer like most do) I'm going to be on my own (gofundme?). We're ruggedly individualistic to a fault.

Ultimately, I think we agree though, since you're saying it would be a net positive. The options you mentioned (taking unpaid PTO) are possible, but there are many employers who would then see you as unreliable (unless you're top level in terms of skill).

I also think it takes a great deal of privilege to say "I can negotiate so who cares". While I agree with you that negotiation is important (it's how I got my current salary), you should think about those who come from poorer / less secure backgrounds. These people often don't want to blow their chance, so they take whatever offer comes their way. It's kind of a "rich get richer" thing, where those with confidence (growing up with a well off family, hence a safety net) are the main ones negotiating. Do not underestimate the importance of a safety net when it comes to negotiating, even for yourself. One thing that keeps me at my 9-5 job is knowing I need healthcare and a place to sleep with electricity (I have a lifelong genetic condition, sleep apnea, which untreated will result in my untimely death). My family is abusive, narcissistic, and unreliable. Being so incredibly on my own, I'm extremely risk averse. I imagine others, who might need insulin or some other thing would be the same.

So ultimately, I find the "just negotiate" line to be at best naive, at worst unempathetic.
Ask HN: How Do You Learn?
I'm really interested in knowing what system you employ to learn stuff.

Personally: I'd make a list of all the available resources to learn about that topic -> narrow it down to those that (1) don't assume any prior knowledge where it makes sense (for example, you can't practically learn about ML if you don't know how to program) and (2) provide practice -> Go through each item in the (filtered) list and see which one clicks -> stick to it and practice -> experiment
The rumor is they'll release a new compact next year.

For now the Google Pixel 4a/5 are the most compact decent phones you can get.

> presenting detailed proof could reveal something about Norway's capabilities which they'd rather keep hidden

Then they can also keep this accusation out of the public eye and deal with this on a diplomatic, which is where these kind of things should be (first) dealt with anyways (as least according to protocol). And this is exactly where so many political accusation lately go off the rails, because although most people are blissfully unaware of it (and hence make them good useful idiots to have the wool pulled over their eyes), these direct political attacks without presented proofs are very much against both the spirit and also the letter of the protocols for such situation.

I have to admit that in this particular case I don't know if diplomatic protocols have not been first exhausted before going public like this, but in many other cases that step certainly has been skipped/omitted. Which in themselves were pretty darn shameful violations in their own right. No, some people argue that it is warranted because Russia is doing wrong in the first place, which of course fully hinges on the assumption that the claims are valid in the first place (without any chance to verify this). However, nowhere does it say that such situations should null and void diplomatic protocols, so this line of reasoning is actually politicized hogwash.

> no amount of evidence would be enough or credible enough or good enough or acceptable enough etc

Where did you get that? If you know how this "game" actually works, you would know that at some level there will be matching/corroborating information coming from source that are not all controlled by the same interests (or group of interests). I've heard this (false) argument that it all comes don't to trust in whoever provides whatever evidence, but that just isn't true. With enough detailed information (which of course and conveniently is never given; should give rise to enough doubts on its own) it is most certainly possible to give a credibility to such evidence that goes way beyond just the credibility of the source of the damning details itself. I've personally seen cases where this was done, among nations that usually have different or even opposing agendas. But when it comes to (most) accusations towards Russia, the most striking part is always the total absence of any evidence at all. Since when have we become all this gullible, that we just believe organization who themselves have questionable track records on their good word and reputation?

Nah, that just doesn't cut it for me. For for anyone to whom it does, good luck with that unwavering faith (which in my opinion goes straight against logic).
What is Math ? Is it pure math like equation, regression, or something for space or data science ?
It uses Bluetooth LE for proximity sensing so that you can pass audio from your phone to the HomePod just by waving them near one another.
The whole paycut controversy seems a little strange to me. No one bats an eye when a company bumps your salary up if you move to NYC or SF yet if they bump it down when you move out surely that's the same thing right? Obviously there are edge cases but as a general principle that seems logical to me. Ofc it depends on how much each bump is etc. but on the surface a paycut while moving somewhere with lower cost of living doesn't seem radical to me.
Intentionally propagating patented genes without a license violates the patent. It doesn't matter that he was in possession of the seeds.
Hopefully JIRA can be placed on a list of banned software now.
Thanks for your answer, how do you plan to achieve this ? Books, Online course, youtube, or anything else ?
I said nutritionists but should have said 'nutrition science'. Thanks for pointing it out.
> If someone writes a buggy, inefficient C program, we fix the bugs, we don't abandon C and rewrite everything in assembly because the resulting machine code is prettier.

Several languages have popped up to address buggy, inefficient C programs and the problems they cause.
I wouldn't agree that that's abuse. I'd say that it's a bad business model, and I'd be wary of a scam, but it's not abuse.

A: "We'll store all your data, no limit!"

B: "Ok, here's all my data."

A: "Abuse!"

Doesn't really make sense to me.

Exactly, I would be willing to bet a lot of these folks would be upset / embarrassed if they knew the a coworker they thought to be below them was in fact commanding a higher salary. Thing is, it's likely to be true.

You don't get paid what you're worth, you get paid what you negotiate. But the ability to negotiate is a privilege. I go into this a bit more in a sibling comment.
maybe taking the JIT-compiler inside the JVM into account...

- Java is "write once, partially compile once, finish compiling everywhere, run everywhere"

Car mounts are a great point, thanks! I hope those magnets are strong though.
Hmm, I think that, as usual, it depends (TM).

For stateful systems such as databases, that typically require complications like replication and backup, configuration, testing and maintenance is hard to get right.

But for stateless systems, IMO infrastructure is pretty straightforward.
I believe they said that their screw threads were lapped by hand while being checked by interferometer readings.

An absurdly difficult process, but the result is a full-area bearing screw that never wears out.

Even in that case, labor organization might help you keep a larger percentage of the value you generate for your employer than you otherwise would.
Hogwash. It's a badly written rehash of the old (decade+) hype about large extra dimensions leading to black holes at the LHC, which incidentally is not going to be restarted until September 2021:

Since proving the negative is impossible, it is sufficient that you don't have any evidence they are doing this. You draw your conclusions from thin air.
I wonder if I'm the only one who doesn't give a slightest shit about "lidar" or "AR".
They're paying for the benefits still, but unless a certain % of SWEs go remote, there's diminishing costs per SWE to provide the benefits. You have to consider the scale the benefits "get provided at."

At a certain point, it costs the same to feed premium salad to 500 engineers as it does 575 engineers (no idea if this is the math, but conceptually yeah). A cook can make 600 or 700 gallons of soup without much difference or new purchases required: huge vat of soup is 2/3 vs. 3/4 full.

If the % of remote engineers hit a level such that cooks have to buy new soup bowls, idle hand cooks, or offices with cavernous empty halllways, then yeah, you're back under diminishing costs/eng and need to scale down.
That's why I said "I am this close to actually calling it pseudo-science". You make a good point and I agree. But I think it's way way way too early in nutrition to treat it with the confidence that we do. We just don't know much of anything yet, really. It's VERY complex.

Depends how the magnets work; sometimes these types of things are pretty opinionated about the orientation. I think a “smart connector” approach like the iPad could also be used one-handed, but point taken.
And I had just switched from 5000 to 2000 IUs.
You can't have "irrefutable proof" on the Internet. On the internet nobody even knows if you're a dog or not. It is strange to me that we have people on this otherwise pretty "technical" site who believe otherwise.

If there's a big jump in inflation, the same drastic movement is exactly going to happen to US bonds.
> and I will keep adding more lessons

As someone that doesn't know anything about low level, I am hestitant to jump into any of these lessons because I have this idea in my mind that there is a proper order that one should learn the concepts in. Is that true? If so, will you have learning "paths"?
I did consider offering a free version, that would lead to a much higher usage, but at the same time with a lot higher costs especially when it comes to support tickets and distribution. I feel that this might be a move I could make in the future, but at the current state of the business I prefer to keep improving the product and keeping existing clients happy than having to work on implementing new distribution systems, artificial limitations, maintaining two different product versions (free vs premium) with different feature sets, etc.

This is a good suggestion and I am always thinking about what the best pricing model is for such a self-hosted product. I do think that based on userTrack's feature set, the target audience are mostly business owners who can spare a few dollars on an analytics platform if that leads to better business intelligence and increased conversions.
I think the concept of the wallet that can quickly snap on and off of the phone is pretty neat. I currently use a case that has a wallet functionality (for my driver's license and credit cards) and that doesn't allow me to use wireless charging without completely taking the case off.
You are absolutely right, for example there are many studies showing vitamin D may have a protective effect against multiple forms of cancer, here's a nice meta-study summing a bunch of them up:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1470481/

On the other hand another study has found that just taking a vitamin D supplement is not enough to statistically improve your odds of not getting cancer:

https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2018...

Vitamin D is certainly important for a number of biological processes including the regulation of calcium in the body and that is well understood. But for things like cancer prevention and lowering the risk of heart disease it may simply be that naturally occurring vitamin D is just an indicator of other healthy habits like eating a diet high in fish and exercising outdoors etc.
I am currently at 52k per day. It took me a few years to get up to that level.
Fair enough, as far as that goes. But at some point isn't that just false advertising? Where's the punishment for that, or if you don't think there punishment, isn't it at least a pretty poor way to start a business relationship?
The CPI reflects what people actually pay for and a lot of people manage not to pay current prices. Many people bought a house a long time ago so their cost is lower. Also many people went to college a long time ago and aren’t spending anything on it now. Also, many people are healthy, and if they’re not insured then they’re not paying for healthcare.

This is about real people in the real world, it’s just not necessarily current prices, and it’s an average. The average experience isn’t going to be all that relevant to you if you do need to pay current prices.
Sure, there are limits. But fundamentally, holding all else constant, increasing bank reserves decreases the cost of lending, which increases the quantity of lending, which increases the money supply.
Palantir did, as early as last year, to create an impression of belt-tightening among its employees in preparation for the IPO. Fired the kitchen staff, dropped the lease on its kitchen facility, and switched to Sodexo or someone like them to bring in hot meals. Made it much easier to cut contracts during the pandemic!
Among interface designer names, "Gui" just became my new favorite.
5G in the case of self driving cars is meant to have an auxiliary role. For example, it may warn surrounding cars for pot holes or even notify instantly of a sudden breaking.

It's "No true Scotsman" fallacy.

Who is that gold standard of intelligence then? Who is sending a courtesy note that they will attempt to hack email server on 14:00 PST on Monday?
I agree... the whole point is that admin/root can do everything. SSH agent hijacking is as easy as setting the SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable to that of any logged in user.

This is why enabling ssh agent forwarding is something that should be evaluated on a per connection basis. You don't want to forward the agent holding your home keys to your work machine where someone else has root access.

But then again, the author didn't claim to do anything special, it was just a little demonstration.

Russia has a military. Russia uses its military to attack its neighbours and quell domestic insurgence.

Norway also have a military. Does it follow that Norway uses its military to attack its neighbours and quell domestic insurgence?
Since you do not include a reference to this "shameless nonsense", it would be reasonable for us to wonder if you are exaggerating in service of some preconceived beliefs of your own.
Reddit is an inconsistent mess because it's fundamentally reactive at the very top. Someone Who Matters notices they host racist communities? They ban the most obvious ones, but not communities like /r/Sino which are blatantly racist in ways the Western Media finds difficult to complain about. Someone Who Matters notices they have transphobic communities? Ban the most obvious ones, except ones like /r/ShitRedditSays which hide behind a twisted interpretation of feminism, as they could play a more effective card were they to be banned.

And so on and so forth. It's administration by reacting to bad press.
Because bumping it down when you move out means the company thinks they have a higher probability of being able to replace you with a similar person from anywhere else and/or you have a lower probability of securing employment with similar compensation, which is a thought most people don't like to have.

The phenomenon is statistical. In your example (which is a bit too simple but still), the analogous surprise would be something like each party guesses what's in the envelope before they open it, and the accuracy of their guess is too high to explain by chance.
“commons - land or resources belonging to or affecting the whole of a community.“

It does not have to belong to the community to be a commons. It just has to affect the entire community.
I knew an older programmer who used the phrase "parasitic interpretation" to describe the human tendency to assume a things' name related to its function. This is the idea that something called `loop_index` is the index for a loop, when it could actually be anything. He strongly felt that semantic content in variable names should be minimized.

I haven't run into the phrase anywhere else, and Google doesn't turn up any programming-related results that I can tell, but I've found the idea endlessly useful. In talking about programs and the goal of programs, we often use language that describes things we have not yet been able to construct. The language has a parasitic relationship to the thing it names - misdirecting our understanding of the machine it sits on.

I try to practice a lot of skepticism around language and computers. It is very easy to name a thing and much harder to make the machine behave in the way the language suggests.
Seems relevant.

Yes, to echo that, voting rules and procedures are left to each state to decide.
Collecting, storing, selling, or otherwise using any digital data in any way traceable to a person, entity including device or location, or other single identifying point of information should require informed consent and contract with minimum dollar value set by law to like $10. Add a bypass where entities do not have to sign to this contract to use the app or site, opting out of all tracking and data collection beyond those specified in ToS for subscribers or registered users of the service.

Now every service in the US that can identify any individual entity must agree to a contract with minimum monetary value for every entity or stop collecting data that has any use beyond generic trends, much like Google trends itself. Maybe eliminate third parties without their own user consent and contract so if I consent to the site having my data (for $10) then any deal with third parties must reflect a smaller amount (say $2) per third party data pull. Fold that cost into the cost of selling user data.

Add exceptions for good faith research, education, healthcare, and similar groups (not all nonprofits but select types or areas of work) so they do not have a minimum dollar amount but maintain a contract with informed consent by both parties. Force opt out by default behavior by making auto-check options to subscribe, agree to terms, etc all unchecked with disclaimer about what you are signing up for by checking including email volume or third parties. Add language for a simple overview of any contracts or ToS acknowledging the law and entity rights including ability to use the service without data collection.

Basically, F u Pay me but for digital data with further third party deals returning on the investment that is your site vising, sales, etc habits. Make it so companies either have to fork over real money (not pennies on their revenue) or stop collecting data.
Your question seems to imply generality ("systems design"), but the description of your question seems to imply specific tooling (e.g., Kafka).

Many people have mentioned really good books (e.g., DDIA). Such books are good for gathering a general knowledge about "systems design", but you will be still clueless about the differences between Kafka and Rabbitmq until you actually read their documentation manuals.

There is no shortcut I'm afraid. If you want to "understand seemingly endless options when it comes to data handling on backend side" you will have to read the corresponding seemingly endless documentation manuals. How else would you know about the advantages or disadvantages of, let's say, InfluxDB over Postgres if you don't read their manuals?
The relationship is only antagonistic if the provider isn't willing to actually commit to the product they're selling.

If you sell unlimited, you're selling unlimited. It's not an antagonistic relationship. It's only antagonistic when they decide that "Unlimited" needs some asterisks behind it.

The business of selling truly unlimited might not be feasible or viable, but this is more a transparency issue than anything. If you're not willing to actually provide unlimited, don't say that you are. It's that simple.

It's hard for me to feel sympathetic to Google/Amazon for having to store someones 1.8 Petabyte porn collection because that's what they sold them. Clearly they've decided that selling unlimited doesn't make business sense, and that's okay. They're probably right!

But if you offer a product, you should be delivering that product. Anything less is gross.
Of course the existence of reserves doesn't force a bank to lend. It increases their capacity to lend, which, assuming there is sufficient demand for credit, increases the money supply.
