Hint for declogging cartridge printers: use isopropyl alcohol on third party cleaning cartridges.

Only use genuine ink cartridge for actually refilling the head, unless you really really care about color reproduction, otherwise you’ll be wasting it completely just to declog.

For waste ink pads: google how to do it at home for your printer. I’ve heard it’s a mess but often can be done and counter reset.
Blowing them up with dynamite was a common response in those days. Experts believe that they didn't use enough, and didn't place the charge properly.
That's all well and good, but it drives me crazy Microsoft refused and refuses to invest in F#, which could have very well been the Python of today if they had paid any attention to it.

Yeah, I love the new Microsoft, especially because of the forced telemetry and updates. Not to mention making it impossible to create a local user account on Windows 10, unless you disconnect from the internet.

UWP is wonderful too.
I'm curious, what do you want to test? The classic "memorize how to bubblesort" interview questions which so many people complain about because they don't show anything except that someone has prepared? Isn't it better to just look over the code of applicants and check if they are aware of general structures etc?

Obviously some familiarity with algorithms etc is required and it should be checked if that's there, but with tests you can't really test if someone understands the bigger picture and did not just memorize the answer. I know more than enough people who can solve problems just fine but their code is absolutely atrocious and I'd never hire them. Interviews where one can ask them why they write code the way they do are probably far more effective.

FWIW I had a lot of success using https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools to have dependencies automatically managed in a virtualenv.

* Basically I would have a single bash script that every `.py` entrypoint links to.

* Beside that symlink is a `requirements.in` file that just lists the top-level dependencies I know about.

* There's a `requirements.txt` file generated via pip-tools that lists all the dependencies with explicit version numbers.

* The bash script then makes sure there's a virtual environment in that folder & the installed package list matches exactly the `requirements.txt` file (i.e. any extra packages are uninstalled, any missing/mismatched version packages are installed correctly).

This was great because during development if you want to add a new dependency or change the installed version (i.e. pip-compile -U to update the dependency set), it didn't matter what the build server had & could test any diff independently & inexpensively. When developers pulled a new revision, they didn't have to muck about with the virtualenv - they could just launch the script without thinking about python dependencies. Finally, unrelated pieces of code would have their own dependency chains so there wasn't even a global project-wide set of dependencies (e.g. if 1 tool depends on component A, the other tools don't need to).

I viewed the lack of `setup.py` as a good thing - deploying new versions of tools was a git push away rather than relying on chef or having users install new versions manually.

This was the smoothest setup I've ever used for running python from source without adopting something like Bazel/BUCK (which add a lot of complexity for ingesting new dependencies as you can't leverage pip & they don't support running the python scripts in-place).
There are two things to keep in mind:

1 Facebook is not a technology company. Facebook is a media (advertising) company.

2 Facebook, like most social media, is primarily dependent upon a business model formulated between 1998-2003. The business model is convince users to volunteer content to a central server, limit liability, and serve advertisements.

If you want to compete against Facebook and beat them at their own game you have to do a couple of things:

1 Take their market share

2 Make money

You will not win that game with a superior technology. You will win that game with a new and more durable business model, but sometimes new business models require new technology. Either way you have to be incredibly innovative and persistent, because most people absolutely hate original ideas.
Yeah, that's a good strategy I suppose even if you do need to cart around a HDD to update every so often. You just need to make sure your parents backup is updated periodically.
The ship has sailed on Angular IMO ... React just nailed it and I say that as a person who REALLY dislikes Facebook as a company.

The React team at Facebook has their act together and does a great job. The new Facebook redesign with chunks is really amazing.

React hooks I think as they are currently designed is an anti-pattern because of the way they're too 'magic' and can bust the cache accidentally and cause performance bugs but conversely can cause data loss bugs because your code doesn't properly use hooks.

Bad use of an API should yield compilation errors (in Typescript) NOT cause all sort of runtime errors with caching.
They could have surrendered that info, and helped tracing covid infected persons, but that would risk there monopoly for lives, so bad business strategy.
To me this undermines any humour the comment may had to begin with.
So I have Google Music and it’s just gone now? What about the licenses?

Okay!
Ah! That link was so weird. The org site even contains this... interesting statement:

"Opal Ruby to JavaScript Compiler It is source-to-source, making it fast as a runtime. Opal includes a casino comparison compiler (which can be run in any browser), a corelib and runtime implementation. The corelib/runtime is also very small."

Casino comparison compiler?!
Considering that half of all prominent functional PL researchers are hired by Microsoft Research I won't be too confident about that.
Spotify has gotten worse. They don't want you to listen to too much music, they want just enough to keep you subbed.
They only open that which they have no advantage in. Operating system is as closed (and as hostile) as ever, so is office and sqlserver. Xbox requires an always on connection.

It is their right, of course. But I don’t buy the “new Microsoft” ethos.
I think you’re absolutely right if you need the highest absolute performance regardless of performance per dollar or performance per watt.

But I think a lot of people are more concerned with Perf/$ and Perf/Watt and will find Apple’s fully integrated approach is extremely hard to beat or even compete with.

In this case perf/$ is going to provide Apple an unbeatable margin, not necessarily the consumer an unbeatable price.
Ironically I had just stumbled across his LinkedIn profile for some reason last night and it was "retired, recruiters please get the memo" or something of that sort.
I think it's all about the syntax and less about the semantics that still makes it a top 5 language.

Makes you think about how important the syntax for a language is.
Well, one good reason is that unlike VS Code, Pycharm is not open source.
well definitely not fines. even unbundling google search from ads in the EU would be major. i m sure they can come up with a lot if they care more than just revenue from fines

not going to debate that, but I'm curious, what do you rank as #1 and #2?
They did add a /s to the end. The user you were replying to wrote the comment that the stupid comment was replying to!
In my case, it's very few songs I like that are not on Spotify. I remember Neil Young going away and then going back on Spotify . I simply didn't listen to his songs for some time because while I like his art, it wasn't worth the effort to download his songs or subscribe to his expensive higher quality music streaming service.
Ironically they are still the same old Microsoft in most ways.
How big is your collection and how well does it work with it ( and what resources does it consume)?

I don't know. Except for the whole "my living room gets used for business meetings when I'm not there," thing and the bit about no privacy, I think this sounds wonderful, and we can do these things without sacrificing all of our privacy:

> It might seem odd to you, but it makes perfect sense for us in this city. Everything you considered a product, has now become a service. We have access to transportation, accommodation, food and all the things we need in our daily lives. One by one all these things became free, so it ended up not making sense for us to own much.

I guess maybe I'm an indoor cat?
Start jogging, if your knees and back can take it, and try to keep the same total time (so longer distance). I fixed my distance at the start of my fitness improvement effort (5km) and walked it (40-45 minutes initially), then started running sections until they were longer, and eventually the whole distance. Got my time consistently down to 30 minutes, and for a brief period down to 23-24 minutes.
I know we're talking about FANG itw but come on you really think people like Guido needs to do any of that? They probably don't do "regular" itw, they go to a restaurant with some important people and that seels the deal.

It’s how companies price their products. Is it perfect? No, but that’s why I used the word “around”.

You can argue that this particular Ryzen has a higher gross margin, say 50%, and lower ASP than $300, but that only gets your cost down to what, $140? And with RAM costing extra.
Counterpoint:

When I was leaving Google the first time, I asked my skip lead (who was employee #48 there, ended up running all of Search, and was previously a core HotSpot engineer at Sun) why he chose to work at a small startup when, coming off of HotSpot in 1999, he could work anywhere. He replied "Aside from them being one of very few companies with an engineer-centric culture, they were the only company that required I interview. Everybody else was willing to hire me on the spot."

For some personality types - and particularly the ones likely to do world-class work - being challenged is a positive sign. It means that the employer does their due diligence, and they will mostly be working with other people who react positively to a challenge.
I ended up switching to Apple Music. I know, I know, Apple, but like Google Music, they allow me to upload any music I have MP3s of. That includes all the tracks I bought from bands I love (usually through bandcamp, or ripped CDs) who aren't on streaming services yet.

Just import them into the music app on my laptop, sync my library, and boom those tracks are available everywhere, just like google music. I actually like it better, since it's an actual app and I don't need to upload the tracks through chrome – I don't use chrome, I use firefox, and I used to have to use chrome just to upload my music.
I'm not familiar with the instance you're referring to, but at face value I don't understand the problem. It doesn't matter if it's a pedestrian or a cyclist—in both cases, the car should avoid crashing into them.
It is there. At the end of the line.
I like Youtube Music more. It has a wider selection and better suggestion algorithms, especially in the latest update. I think the interface is better and more modern. There may be niche features it doesn't have yet, but they are improving it rapidly.
First-class integration in Excel would be a game changer. Holy shit. Though adding a multiline editor with indentation in Excel would be really nice as well. We've got to stop pretending Excel functions don't constitute a programming language.
Is there really any difference between these mature and well funded projects like Angular and React? Sure, one will have some better features than the other, but it looks like they always catch up.

I believe you must choose one based in the knowledge and experience of your team. There isn't really a real technological reason to choose one. In the long term, they all look the same.

Simply put miniaturization of neural networks coupled with more powerful yet more energy efficient microcontrollers has allowed projects like this to be feasible since '19, maybe '18. In retrospect it seems an obvious next step from edge ML but at one point it looked like ML was only possible in the domain of beefy GPUs or power hungry CPUs on the cloud.

A cornerstone of embedded ML aka TinyML is that not sending data using comms decreases energy consumption by many magnitudes when compared to chip ops, SRAM use, sensor I/O etc.

What we have is the culmination of many techniques applied in concert. A huge one is float32 -> int8 quantization to compress the network 4x with usually only around ~1-2% drop in accuracy.

I for one am incredibly excited about the prospects of this nascent field.
You’re telling a team that’s contributed significant amounts of code to C++ and are major contributors to setting the standards for C++ that they moved to JS in 2005 (!) for fashion. Ok.
Certainly more than $200, so what’s your point?
In a similar vein, I recently purchased this ebook https://pawelurbanek.com/heroku-migrate-postgres-rds - I haven't finished it yet but I enjoy the small, edited format of it.
I originally wanted to use DMS but our DB failed the pre-migration assessment so that forced us to Logical Replication.

We also worked with Jesse. You are right he is amazingly helpful. Unfortunately we got some pretty questionable help from others before he was assigned to our support ticket but once that happened it was infinitely improved.

Two reason why on BTC it doesn't.

1. Longer block times, so it is pretty rare that multiple miners are finding multiple valid consecutive blocks to compete on separate chains

2. It is against their incentives. By being apart of the losing chain, they have used thousands in hash power and missed out on possible tens of thousands that would come from the valid chain.
Using cell tower and wifi location actually made my location much less accurate when I was living in SF. Rideshares would pull up to the wrong side of the street where the cell tower was, and immediately get kicked out and ditch me because it was a high use bus stop. When driving myself I would pop several streets over every time a new office tower came into line of sight. When near the beach, my location would fix to some cafe half a mile away with its wifi power up too high.
Interestingly enough, Libre Office (and OpenOffice before that) allow you to use Python internally for Macros through PyUNO, which is a pain to use given the lack of documentation, but amazingly powerful.

I know it's not Microsoft, but D. E. Shaw asked Larry Summers math puzzles when he interviewed there. At the time, he was the president of Harvard University.

I was debugging some android battery issue in 2015, found that Google pushed new background service for upcoming Wear/Watch OS product. They literally pushed a scanning service to billions of devices through "Play Services" for a product which was barely available. Sold my android phone and switched to iOS.

All these smart people they hire and amount of shit code in android is staggering. They never commit to fundamentally fix/rebuild basics, it's just library on top of library which need to distributed with every app to use basic stuff. (Why the hell is support library even a thing?, if they can push spying shit through google play services, they can push support libs too, and not have every app include it their builds). Kotlin because they screwed up with Java license, instead of building something ground up they take these ugly routes. Look at what Apple is doing x86-Arm, Swift in last 5/6 years?. Google is still hacking around on top of Java language/VM's after over 10 years.
In that case, why hand over control at all? It's not like the driver is going to be able to stop the car more efficiently than the control system or anything.

Yes they mention in the paper mental and physical improvements.

In addition, the mental component continuous summary score was significantly higher in the HIIT group compared with control group (P=0.04) and MICT group (P=0.04) after five years (supplementary table S6).
Chrome used to have this neat little "helper" hidden in src/net/dns/host_resolver_impl.cc that would just by coincidence call hardcoded 8.8.8.8 every time DNS reply didnt contain A record, all behind the guise of "helping resolve navigation errors".

Looking it up now they rewrote this part of the browser, and either moved it somewhere else or obfuscated it better.

Finished my PhD a year ago. Do it _only_ if you want to do research and you love the area you are pursuing. It is a _lot_ of hard, lonely work and the monetary upside is no where near that of a startup or a Google job. Finally, the PhD varies a lot from school to school and from professor to professor even within a given school. If you do choose this route, choose the professor wisely.

If I were you, I would try to get into one of the research areas of Google (if the team matching process has not happened already), e.g. Google Brain, they tend to have year-long fellowships. That way, you can experience research without the long term commitment. If it turns out you really like it, then your mentors at Google can give you a sense of whether going back to academia is a good plan or not.

If you have not worked full-time for at least a year before, then I would take the Google offer regardless of whether it is a research area or not. No one should go to a PhD without first experiencing industry first.
Yeah, I can see the thread just fine, I can also see the majority of posters and the more substantive posters disagreeing with you. Also the only person who comes close to dictating anything here is you.

And I’m still not seeing the benefit of all that experience by the way.
> sooner or later they're going to land in your space.

Absolutely. I've seen this a handful of times with companies I consult, where they suddenly find themselves competing with AWS. I call it the November surprise because it happens around Re:Invent.

There are several reasons this is a tough thing to compete against, and AWS's vertical integration is just one of them. I've already written about them and also how to come out ahead if you find yourself in this situation: https://www.gkogan.co/blog/big-cloud/
I think the real advantage of Apple so far is to have the kind of volumes and margins with iphones to be able to have privilegied access to TSMC fabs and processes, and therefore now it will automatically trickle down on Macs and their new SoCs granting them a head start on everybody else, even irrespective of any other kind of possible architectural advantage or design decision.
Agreed. I did a 1,500 mile (2,400 km) round-trip drive from Los Angeles to Utah a couple weeks ago using these same features in my Tesla Model 3 and it's a very different experience from previous trips in other cars.
Yeah, some examples:

1. Visualize a list of addresses on a google map, by grabbing the Google Maps JS SDK and mapping over the data in a table

2. Build an customer support email portal. In eCommerce, customers sometimes miss emails or they get blocked by spam, so you could create a little table of email types, then hook it up to the API calls needed to trigger the emails to customers. Then you can give this little UI to your customer support reps so they can enter an email (maybe build a little component to search your main database by user name), then just build a little component to trigger the email

3. One feature that unlocks a whole world, allow these custom components to be re-used in the notion slash menu, so you could create custom types like an internal widget that would be only useful in your organization, then your whole team could use it. Once you allow Notion pages to be embedded inside these custom components (like building a custom tabs component, each tab with a separate notion page), you just have an amazing internal tools development toolkit

Still, it worked perfectly for me for Python, and a few more things. So I ask - what problems does conda have? And which of those does cargo not have?

Alternatively, what does cargo do better than conda if they are not feature-for-feature comparable ?
