In my most recent job hunt, I interviewed three times. In the first two loops I tried my best, but I could feel I wasn't really connecting. In my third, they asked questions about the kind of thing I had just spent six years building and I connected perfectly. It was like the sensation of hitting a homerun in the third loop, compared to foul balls (or strikes) in the first two.

In a way, this is luck. How lucky for me that the third job fit what I knew about and was comfortable talking about. It was lucky that they asked the kinds of questions that were things I was very experienced in. I was the same candidate in all three interview loops, just unlucky in the first two that what they were looking for wasn't a good fit for what I knew, and lucky in the third that it was a good fit.

That said, there's also a way in which this isn't luck. That is, I had to have some area of knowledge and skill or else I would have been flailing around forever without connecting.

Any individual interview is luck, but hard work and experience can increase the size of the target you're hoping to hit.
Oh, gosh! Are they OK?

I really think you need to think about unintended consequences. Not even unintended -- like, kindergarten 0th order effects.
the point of the article is that he started spending less money -before- becoming a millionaire; that he became a millionaire -as a direct consequence- of spending less money, not the other way around.
The last bit about how none of the sampled rocks was actually a cube reminded about this article (https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/2016/01/16/when-us-air-...) on how when you design for averages you're actually designing for no one. They tried to make a scruple of the "average woman" based on average measurements, but no woman they found actually had the average measurements

> boiled down to some mistake in my code.

yes, this is the hard part i think, and it was a similar issue with even storyboards/xib... since everything is in the same module, an issue somewhere else prevents compilation and hence the preview dies*

* maybe that is a reason until recently, declarative xml layout was used for a long time, no need to worry about compilation failure to get previews (in theory anyways)
I don't know why this is being down voted, I find the idea that open offices are "inhumane" to be obscenely hyperbolic.

A common complaint about this sort of thing is that it's just too artificial. Not many folks can actually find fun in this sort of thing. It is difficult to cut that most common symbol from your vocabulary of glyphs, and it brings small joy at its finish. It ruins your writing flow. But, not having had my own try at it, my cynicism is possibly without justification.

The problem is many founders build things they /think/ people would want. Like "nice sounding problems" that actually no one cares about.

The great thing about building something for yourself is at least you know it's a real problem. It may potentially be too small of a market, but at least it's a real problem.

Also, it's much easier to build something that you deeply understand. Sure, you want a lot of users feedback and talk with them all the time, but deeply understanding the problem really help you focus on what's important rather than building features that users ask but that aren't that important.
Because the French courts will not allow for Google to choose the "we won't use the content" option, let alone "we'll use the content but not sell ads for it". They must show the news content whether they want to or not. That's a tough system to make work.
Yeah, https://hopsworks.ai is an alternative to EMR that includes HopsFS out-of-the-box. You get $4k free credits right now - it includes Spark, Flink, Python, Hive, Feature Store, GPUs (tensorflow), Jupyter, notebooks as jobs, AirFlow. And a UI for development and operations. So kind of like Databricks with more of a ML focus, but still supporting Spark.
horsepower is rarely the limiting factor for a sedan's towing capacity. a sedan's chassis is only designed to withstand accelerating and stopping its own weight (plus a margin for safety and internal cargo of a reasonable mass). you could probably get away with towing a jetski with a typical sedan, but anything much heavier than that risks bending the chassis. even if a car can tow something without deforming itself, the change in weight distribution can make for a very unsafe situation.
I think that road users should pay to use the road. Fuel excise, or electricity surcharge tax or whatever, is a tiny fraction of the subsidy that road users get from regular tax payers.

I'm a blind Aussie taxpayer.

Consider my tax situation. If I take an Uber to my local pub, that's about A$10. Of that $10:

$0.90 in Goods and Services Tax
$1 to the taxi compensation scheme

That's 19% tax - or $1.90/$10.

In Australia, public transport and P2P services get to a tiny fraction of all available road destinations. It easier (and sometimes cheaper) for someone like me to get from Sydney to Singapore than to Sydney to Kangaroo Valley (about 350km from Sydney).

So, for my 19% tax rate to get to the pub, the equivalent journey someone who can drive a car on their own may pay $0.25 in fuel excise duty.

They can pay the road users tax. They already get enough of a subsidy from me.
Nvidia doesn't seem to care :(
Granted, if you already have the device, then 2 is a good reason.

But buying a new such device doesn't sound like a good idea, even if the hardware is somewhat better. You'd be supporting Apple and this means that (if lots of people have this behavior) the competition falls even more behind. There might come a day when there will be no more exploits left on Apple hardware, and then we're stuck with the choice of going to the competition which might then be worse because of the shortsightedness in our purchasing behavior, or buying into Apple's walled garden.

Making purchases based on marginally better products (following the gradient of quality) may be satisfying in the moment, but is not very wise on the long term.
Close. Late 30’s. Learning my first musical instrument: the banjo. I did some basic research, found a banjo, and searched YouTube for tutorials. Not a banjo player yet, but I can roll through a few songs now.

installing Pytorch magically installs the latest version of Python without telling you

This has never happened to me. I typically create a conda environment with a specific python version, then install Pytorch and it doesn’t update the python.
I'm not sure how it works in your country, but in the US fuel taxes don't go to the general pot, they end up in a specific fund called the Highway Trust Fund that's specifically earmarked for transportation infrastructure and maintenance.
Not even eventually, I prefer the taste of certain synthetic meat because it tastes more charbroiled and bloody than meat in some cases. Not only is it already good enough is what I'm saying, I think there's a preference in taste to have it overcome some of the disadvantages in freshness that meat poses.
Sure, how about 40 hours a week?
Thanks for clarification!

Indeed, btrfs doesn't allow such configuration. However, it allows using disks of unequal sizes within single filesystem - like, 3+3+4T in RAID1 mode gives you 5T of usable space (imagine 4T disk being split in half, and each half duplicated to a different 3T disk; remaining space of 3T disks duplicated to each other). But as I understand, it's possible to achieve the same with manual partitioning and vdev allocation on ZFS, too.

RAID5/6 is indeed a danger zone - in another thread I've already mentioned a nice write-up of "guidelines for users running btrfs raid5 arrays to survive single-disk failures without losing all the data" by Zygo Blaxell: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20200627032414.GX10769@h...
Every frequentist technique has a Bayesian interpretation and vice-versa. Confidence intervals are equivalent to credible intervals with certain priors.
Holden/Fords used to manufacture locally. There’s a bunch of not very economical V8’s driving around as similar performant more economical European cars got a 30% luxury car tax to give AU manufacturing incentives.

Now Holden/Ford have shut down here everyone seems to drive a Toyota Hilux / Landcruiser. Tradies get tax benefits buying an expensive Hilux, can use it as a family car as they have dual cab and can take it in the bush doing 4x4. Landcruiser are popular with those who drive in the outback due to being suited to that terrain.

As a lot of cars on the road are Hilux utes the average driver wants a similar sized SUV “as they are safer”

You also have Australia’s lack of commitment to emission policies, manufacturers use Australia to offload cars that don’t meet emission standards elsewhere in the world.
Non desktop usecases are actually a major driver for wayland adoption, because x11 is very much designed for desktop, whereas wayland is intended to be more general.
As the vote count currently stands he’s going to be the president. There’s no reason to think the vote totals are going to change. In 2016, Trump was also referred to as president elect at this point. Or were you very careful to correct anyone that said Trump had won in 2016 and pointed out that it wasn’t actually decided until the election was certified?

This whole thing is such a farce. Trump has been claiming massive voter fraud with no evidence since 2016 (actually he also claimed it in 2012 when Obama won). He started claiming it a day after the election and has yet to produce any evidence. While every Secretary of State says there’s no evidence of massive voter fraud. And pointing this out and that trumps claims are baseless, which is all purely factual, has somehow become biased.
The minimum transaction cost for a 99 cent purchase is much higher than 5%. It’s likely over 10%, even for Apple.
I had an office built in my backyard earlier this year and I was lucky enough that it was completed just before the pandemic hit. I would highly recommend something like this for remote employees. There is a strong enough delineation between home and work with the added benefit that I can turn the office into sort of a man cave. I can “decorate” it in ways that I don’t really want in my home. I guess its sort of a compartmentalized place that I can be an adult for work but also a kid during off hours.

I do miss the interactions with coworkers and the water cooler conversations but there are always trade offs.
I'm a huge fan of caustics and weird light setups. I'm loving that slab that polarizes out a painting, that's incredible.

To temper this a bit: thankfully, all those industries are full of regulation and V-model and piles of documentation (for every line of code, multiple lines of other stuff on paper). Serious customers won't touch your product if you don't have a certified quality management system that fits The Standard.

I work in one of these industries -- I don't see much safety-critical engineering content on HN, and I think it's fair enough that it's glossed over. I agree that you can't move fast and break things when those things can hurt, or physically are, people.
> That's entirely dependent on your ethical axioms, on which there is no universal consensus. There are certainly frameworks within which some taxation is justifiable.

You're right in that there are multiple ethical systems that could justify the arbitrary nature of taxation. That doesn't mean those ethical systems can survive the scrutiny of philosophical razors.

Being specific, from the perspective of the ethics of private property (derived from the concept of self ownership), you can't justify taking away someone's property by force (eg. taxation). You can't fight the self ownership premise without contradicting yourself: if you can argue, it means you are not me, therefore you "own" yourself.

If your ethical system agrees with the idea of taxation "to serve some social benefit" it necessarily doesn't agree with the the premise of self-ownership, as it would imply that "society" has an existence of its own, therefore it can have property, which would extend to the ability of "owning" individuals and their property. However, the "society" is an abstraction, it doesn't really exist (only individuals exist), so that ethical system would fail under Hume's razor.
Interlocutory techniques like refusing to engage with the posts as written, and instead nitpicking, cause those outcomes.

I highly, highly, highly doubt that you were so deeply confused by the Meet/Slack Allo/iMessage analogy that you needed me to spell out 'hypothetically, if Apple owned Slack, which of course it doesn't, would it be more usable for you to have Slack merged with iMessage?' Your complete lack of charity in interpretation forces lengthy, caveated, responses in drawn-out threads, emphasizing downvotes, and ensuring several opportunities for downvotes.
Unfortunately you can’t download apps that the publisher removed from the store (EA Games, looking at you) even if you paid for them. If you don’t backup the IPAs (and/or don’t have a way to install them...) then you’re stuck. At least you can get a refund from Apple if you can find your iTunes/App Store purchase receipt.
Seriously? Grow up man.

6 years is generous in the mobile hardware space, but when compared to traditional PC hardware, which the iPad is increasingly competing against, it is very disappointing for a piece of hardware to be out of luck after 6 years.

On Windows, any Windows 7/8/8.1 users got a free upgrade to Windows 10, and the minimum requirements for Windows 10 are the same as Windows 7 (other than for disk space, Windows 10 requires less). So that's any Windows PC in the last 11 years can still get an OS with security updates. And of course, you can always install Linux on a Windows PC.

The Apple side doesn't go quite as far back, but still most 2012 macs can install Catalina which will be supported until 2022. And Linux is pretty well supported on the non-T2 macs (pre-2015) as well.
I got a 2nd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and learned how to play the guitar - all after 40. Your 40s and 50s are great because most people have a surplus of 3 vital resources: time, money, and health. You have the time because your kids are older or have moved out of the house. You have money because you've reached peak earning power. You generally are young enough to still have your health so you're still able to do things. It's great. I know people who kept learning new things well into their 70s and 80s.
They're missing an opportunity. We've had jackfruit for a while now and synthetic meat is nothing new in some sense. This is like policing the aesthetics of the Maillard reaction.

Framing the argument strictly in terms of consumption without inspecting the conditions of production also betrays a wider perspective on how we can achieve ethical or sustainable practices. And certainly it's inimical to the reality that there needs to be reform at the institutional and corporate tier of practice with higher priority rather than castigate individual and cultural consumption.
Per the article, in Australia the fuel excise does not go toward road maintenance, but instead goes into the general fund.
It's just a perspective, but Bayesian inference makes the prior explicit, wheareas it is implicit with frequentist inference. You can't not have a prior.
I’ve never thought about this before, but it makes sense, especially with the advent of electronic keyboards. I grew up playing cello and didn’t get a full-sized (4/4) instrument until I was in high school. It seems like a good idea to let folks with smaller hands have pianos that are appropriately sized.

Aren't the poorest in society naturally always going to be the bottom 25% or so? The poorest American is still in the top 10% of the world.
I agree with your sentiment entirely, but have always lumped Larabel in with the fanboy blogs. He does a good job summarizing the boring mailinglists, but generally always does it in a semi-clickbait way. Jon Corbet is a legit journalist and kernel developer. They're definitely cut from a different cloth, but there is plenty of room for both of them.
Words can mean different things in different contexts - “stable” and “unstable” in Debian refer to whether or not the major version numbers of included packages are going to change, not to how buggy they are.

Fantastic. Thank you so much for chiming in!
I’m an adult male[-bodied human] with a relatively largish body/frame/hand size. I’m a musician. I find the piano keyboard more intuitive than my more familiar instrument (guitar). But I’ve always struggled playing the piano/keys due to key size. I’m definitely interested in this effort.
And in the US, the overwhelming majority of road damage is done by long haul freight semi trucks, not electric or ICE cars.
This was interesting, thanks. Have you also given Hasura a go? If not, would you? In your view are Hasura and Postgraphile reasonable substitutes? I’m not talking about non-hosted vs self-hosted, but rather capabilities, tooling, developer experience, etc. Would be great to hear your thoughts, thanks.
Nope, the middle class is living now better than kings have lived in the past. Let that thought wash over you and don't think twice about the jobless statistics whatsoever.
I'll respond if their initial message sounds like they actually read my profile and thought about how I could bring value to their client. this almost never happens. usually they are hiring for a mid-level role for which I have zero relevant experience. I have a hard time believing that's what they really want to do.

in any case, I really like my current team and manager. it would take a lot more than a €6000 (~$7000) salary bump to make me consider a different job.
That's to be expected. That area is just a huge dumping ground for trash, shit, and bodies. There's very likely more plastic in that area, volume for volume, than in the ocean.
> I just become worried when they use their monopoly to extract as much value as possible, far beyond what they need to sustain their profits

But I'm not sure that's clear. There's been a distinct increase in the number of in-video ads (Raycon, Skillshare, ExpressVPN, Squarespace, Curiosity Stream, and so on), which probably corresponds to a distinct decrease in Youtube enabled ads. So with that logic, Youtube is probably making less money from top creators, who have been skipping the middleman entirely. This seems more like a step to retaining existing profits instead of increasing them.
Thanks. Buildroot looks useful. The docs say to use a graphical program to configure it. The program edits a .config file which presumably could be code reviewed and checked into source control. Do you know of any open source projects that check in their buildroot .config file?

Reviewing a generated config file has downsides. The file does not show the context associated with changes. Comments are either unsupported or easily destroyed by the editor. The file format may be confusing or may destroy blame info by putting many options on one line. The file format and how to use the graphical tool are extra chunks of knowledge that engineers must load and maintain.

Buildroot is designed for folks making custom kernels. I don't need that. I want everything related to the hardware to just work. This includes automatically mounting attached network block devices on DigitalOcean & EC2 and configuring wifi on Raspberry Pi.
iOS users who don’t upgrade to the latest iOS versions are far less likely to spend money on APIs than iOS 13 & 14 users. That 19% accounts for closer to 5% of actual App Store sales and subscriptions.
“Bias responses”

Trump claimed in 2012 that Obama won the election due to voter fraud. He claimed in 2016 that he lost the popular vote due to voter fraud. And again in 2020 he’s claiming that he lost due to voter fraud. In 2012 and 2016 there was never any evidence of massive voter fraud found, Trump even appointed a committee to investigate 2016 and found nothing.

Now for the past two weeks, lawsuits have been getting thrown out and nothing substantial has been found. But Trump somehow knew there was voter fraud one day after the election?

Trump must prove there’s voter fraud and given his history, there’s no reason to think he will. Every Secretary of State and even the director of cyber security has said there was no massive voter fraud, Trump fired the director for saying that.

Taking all of these facts together and saying that we have no faith in Trumps claims, somehow this makes us the biased ones?
