There is a point to "staying current" beyond chances in future interviews. Imagine working at a company that has basically found its niche, is doing well, just not growing much so only hiring really slowly. Everybody around you has been there for 20+ years. Everybody working like 20-30 years ago. This kind of bubble is dangerous, not just for the employees' future chances on the job market, but for the company itself. To find the best solutions to the problems in their market, the company needs to stay cutting edge with its tech too. Otherwisr they will get outcompeted in no time.

And by doing so, it profits the employees too. If everybody has been around for 20+ years but stays really current, even just for the sake of the company, their employability stays high too! It's a win-win.

These rants about "I'm back on the job market and now have to re-learn coding" tend to be a strong sign of complacency. "I already went through this and now want peace and quiet, why am I being forced to learn something new?" Well, because the world is evolving. Keep evolving with it, or gradually disappear in obsolescence. If you don't then that's not just bad for your job chances but even for your company. You'd not want to work at a place that still uses VB6 just because it was hip 20 years ago when everybody was hired.

FWIW I work at a company where we are strongly encouraged to stay on top of the game so that we stay competitive in the market. That automatically keeps everybody employable.
Doom is on there, but I wouldn't say the experience is great. I've played it both locally and on Stadia and while a quality-inelastic buyer might be OK with it there it just doesn't match up for a serious/invested consumer. And that's totally fine; not all things have to be for all people. But it's a worse experience once you know what you're looking for, and will stay so.

And, as a TO for fighting games, there's no substitute there for the barest minimum latency possible (to the point where older games legitimately feel better because you can play them over analog connections to a CRT).
I agree, but even still how does that affect Intel’s business model? Are they incapable of building ARM chips and selling them the same way as their x86 chips? Seems like the business model is fine but the product will need to change, no?
How prevalent is that? Some nerds doing this is a drop in the ocean. Rather my bet would be on Youtube as the hungry beast that can't get enough storage. There's a loooooooot of videos that have single digit views yet need to be accessible at any time, instantly. Video is large. Doesn't youtube even keep the original file nowadays?
But all of this is separable: storage at home, transport/computing provided by Google. So security and trust verification can come from Google (or any other provider) but emails stay home. Or photo processing provided by Google, but photos stay home. That would however relegate them to a pipe and service provider and possibly force them into openly competing, so they would never do that. Owning your data for the lock-in is the point.
I feel like the people who say money won't make you happy need to have their eyes checked. Sure, piles of money don't do anything, but money among many things gives you opportunity to have experiences with other people, and a buffer from stressful situations, and imo that is the crux of happiness.

Now you can take that flight to see your family members regularly. You can now have a house large enough where if you have guests over they no longer have to sleep on the floor. You no longer are held hostage with the fear that you will be bankrupted by your aging parent's health issues. You can afford to bury your loved ones. You no longer have to make compromises with your children's lives that you wish you didn't have to make. Your basic needs will always be met. You are de facto exempt from physical labor since you can afford to pay others to maintain your life like a prince.

Sure, money in itself doesn't buy happiness. But it buys you a lot of opportunities to be very very happy, and serves as personal insurance towards things that might put the average person into a tent on the sidewalk.
Very, very brilliant comment.

> bonus-to-cover early exercise

Can you explain this in more detail? I'm a bit familiar with it, but it seems you might have more experience and could be able to describe it properly.
> it’s that we can’t just build a better programmer, for the reason that I then went on to outline.

Apologies for missing your point. I thought you meant by this:

> The reason for that is because large projects can’t have only one developer.

... that you meant we would have to change more things in our business and software cultures rather than just making programmers smart (something I could agree with), not that you believed this was some kind of truism.

I don’t believe this is true. Why are you convinced it is impossible to do “big” things without big teams of idiots?

> Historically, C is often not trusted for software where people’s lives are on the line. Thus bringing up doctors is a great example of how building a better programmer is not good enough.

I don’t see how one of these things has to do with the other. Can you explain the link?
Outside or obvious business reasons, there is also the aspect of actors and dialogues not being the issue.

Atrocious writing, lack of consistency and inability to move plot where they want it to be in sensible way was the biggest issue. Especially in comparison with great writing of first series.

Remastering few dialogs wont fix anything.

It's easy to complain without giving a better alternative.

I see these kind of articles on HN all the time. But nobody really gives a better alternative.

Same in this article: "In the past, when I was interviewing myself, I would come across large numbers of really smart candidates all the time." So how did he know they were smart?

So anyone with experience in interviewing candidates have a better alternative than letting them code and asking technical questions?
Maybe I misunderstood, but I didn’t see anything related to “managing a country” in the preceding discussion.
So as a developer, I will need to reapply every year to get the benefits and if I miss the window to apply, I will continue to have to pay 30% for the remainder of the year? Why can’t they just automatically apply it to all eligible developers?
I don't think so. I had to use that package too in neovim.
It's OK as long as you don't burn yourself out. You have to find a way to make it sustainable if you want to keep enjoying it through your career.
I agree it’s a bit weird but I think I’ve cracked it: the red is referring to AMD’s main brand color (“team red”). They are rolling out the red carpet like a matador/torero uses red cloth to bait a raging bull. They are also saying “no bull” as a play on words to say they aren’t bullshitting us by putting out this laptop with all AMD components. As for “pangolin”, I think that’s just them reusing the model name that was previously used for this form factor in their lineup.
The risks far outweigh the rewards. We're deliberately injecting ourselves with foreign genetic material that hijacks our cells' machinery to produce viral proteins by design. For my consent, I don't have anywhere near enough faith yet in the people hastily developing such technology, their employers striving to be first to market, or the bureaucrats desperate to give their electorates the impression that they have everything under control.

Maybe if I lived in a large, diverse city, I would be forced to consider it (I would far more likely move my family somewhere safer). But where I am fortunate to live, it makes absolutely no sense.
its a proxy. laptop sales outstrip desktop globally. if there is THIS much laptop shortage, I dont think its the case that AMD is choosing to focus on the desktop market versus laptop.

I'm seeing a large supply shortage. My bet is that someone is buying up all the supply at an enterprise level. Either it is AWS (with its new AMD servers - https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/amd/ ).
I dont think there's barely enough AMD supply for retail

A Chinese citizen, who happens to be the Vice Chair of a Chinese political party, working for the University of Science and Technology of China, using money entirely from the Chinese government, led a team consisting entirely of other Chinese citizens working for Chinese institutions, and you're wondering why we're claiming this was achieved by "China"?

Science might be a global cooperative effort, but this paper comes from China.
That wouldn't be effective though. Most of the time these reviews are to make sure company IP isn't being published, which could be outside the main results or abstract.

> But honestly, the team is going to hate me, they have all spent a lot of time learning AWS.

This was another motivation for going with DO: there's just less of it. Less to learn, less to get lost in. We've got a couple of juniors on the team who are brand new to actually having to get the software they write to run in production, and I don't think the AWS control panel is a very good place to send someone like that.

The cow has long, long left the pen on that one. I haven't seen a 4:3 laptop in years.
I'm in Japan here's plastic waste heaven, so I fear to see extreme hates for plastics for food here. Are these plastics really bad if they are correctly burned or recycled? (I expect recycle is limited so primary to be burned)
> IIRC, neither cocaine or caffeine or amphetamines, they are stimulants, but do not fall under the amphetamine class. :) I could be wrong.

I was speaking in regards to cocaine, obviously caffeine isn't one, but you're right... that was a total misnomer on my part as the Functional group or R-group is completely wrong classification. I'm not sure why I called it that upon review and it seems my lessons from Organic Chemistry are fading these days.

Thanks for that correction.
Can you please explain how you got to that conclusion?
This betrays a lot of what tech culture is. People do it because they enjoy building stuff. We don’t have hazing or never did. I guess the money just got too good, so nothing good ever lasts.
Imo it's not that all advertisement is evil, just the ones that stoop to manipulation by taking pages from psychological research, turning our primal instincts against our own self interests to spend more of our limited money on dumb things or vote for a dumb thing to make someone else money.

Unfortunately for the majors in advertisement these days, that's their bread and butter.

That's super valuable. Thanks! I did not know about buildkit (and buildctl), but now see it.

Very valuable. Thanks!!!
Same reason they put Princess Leia in a metal bikini: it's an excuse to look sexy. You wouldn't see Khan Drogo's bulging pecs and sculpted torso or Daenerys' neckline and toned midriff if they were covered by boring but historically accurate linen tunics.

It does sound distopian. However if it's really true then employers only have themselves to blame. Potential employees are reacting to the incentives in front of them.
How much better are they today scored as a number? Like Elo.

I wish we had spell checking (with corrections) competitions.

Computer based chess is very cool.

But a little time spent on a computer based spellchecking competition would help a lot of native and non native speakers every day.

And I'm just talking English, to start.
Wow,love it. I am trying to think of a use case though.

What exactly would this be needed for? Like you want to hire someone but why not pay them personally? What do you gain with a short term company?
My configuration panel only has 2 options for scaling: 100% or 200%. Needless to say neither option is very helpful.
Teams:

red - amd
green - nvidia
blue - intel
The three big CPU/GPU companies are often (between each other, at least) called Team Red, Green, and Blue - for AMD, Nvidia, and Intel.
Apple has never sold a laptop with a 4K panel. Highest resolution of any Macbook was the 2019 Macbook Pro 16" with 3072x1920. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_display#Models
No, they're trying to monetize you.
We're talking about pulling out 2-10 lines of code out into its own function. There is rarely going to be multiple levels, and if there is, the original function would be way to large anyway.
Among CPU geeks “Team Red” means AMD. If you’re talking about their GPU competition then “Team Green” is Nvidia, and if you’re talking about their CPU competition “Team Blue” is Intel (and in American politics, Team Red generally would refer to the Republicans). I can’t speak to the aesthetics of the Bull or the odd choice of the mammal best known in the West for spreading Covid to humans as the version mascot, but hey, it’s original.
Is ARM transition worth? Maybe both arch doesn't matter for develop new games, but x86 is better to easily achieve PS4/5 Xbox One/Series compatibility.
No, it’s from the ATI logo which is red and was co-opted by AMD after its acquisition of ATI in 2006. Team red is AMD, team green is Nvidia, and team blue is Intel. See:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/81r2d9/what_is_red_tea...

It unintentionally may attract various political party fans, as well as other fans of the color red.

Coincidentally, China is associated with the color red, and AMD was forced out of China in 2019 for having a relationship that was too close: https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-tried-to-stop-china-acquiri...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD–Chinese_joint_venture

But, team green and team blue have China links as well. For example:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/22/technology/china-intel-nv...
And also possibly relevant (x86): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhaoxin

As for the bull- bulls are associated with red for multiple reasons ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muleta in bullfighting, Red Bull caffeinated drink, color of Bulls NBA team jerseys). System76 marketing: “No bull. ...Is it charging? It's charging. Must be all the AMD red. Time to run. No, bull!”

>Maturity. But I also want to restrict children as little as possible, so they can learn to deal with freedom and self responsibility as soon as possible.

See maturity is a vague term this is where the controversy lies because adults can be immature too. What is the logic that gives immature kids this "privilege" over an immature adult.

>Because avaiability is very high today already with the illegal status. Take away the temptation of the taboo for rebelling teens and you get even lower numbers. And you can more easily help those who still fall for it.

This is not a fact either. In fact it's very convoluted logic. Something that is illegal is used more over something that is legal because of rebellion? It's so against common sense.

I decriminalize murder, murder goes down.
I decriminalize theft, theft goes down.
I decriminalize corruption, corruption goes down.

None of those statements make sense.

But suddenly this one does:

I decriminalize drugs, drug use goes down.

Seems not just illogical but delusional. A convenient excuse to promote a personal agenda.

Most definitely not. I think that is a critical detail. You can be 100% sure if she clicked on Approve herself, Jeff would have either omitted that fact entirely or definitely explicitly mentioned it was a self-approval. Some other person clicked on Approve for sure and they are somehow not putting any responsibility on that person in this public narrative.
It’s also actually higher res too! My Late 2013 13” Macbook Pro has a resolution of 2560x1600. I wish more manufacturers would remember that there are specs between 1080p and 4K.
This would mean that the companies that put the label on their otherwise inocuous products "just in case" are in fact correct. A self fulfilling prophecy.
Well, this is not a union therefore doesn't match all the features and objectives. The not-union aims to relieve inherit disadvantages of individuals v.s. corporations while preserving individual freedoms and free market dynamics. Just like companies coming together to fix a price and specs of their products thus leaving consumers with no options, workers coming together to force their own preferences by leaving companies with no options is also unacceptable.

If the unions actually do the things that you describe and people are happy with it, they should opt out for unions.
I love that expression! I only knew about the ship that had already sailed...
I disagree. This taps into a lot of technical know-how and communication skills.

It’s a well-rounded examination of how someone can contribute to the development of a product. That such a well-rounded assessment happens to include examining your likability or “other emotional response” is just a byproduct of testing how well someone interfaces with other humans - part of the job almost always.

I also set it up to auto-create/open my daily-doc in the background when I open a new terminal session, since days that I do that are days that I most want to take notes. It serves as a very good, very minor reminder to actually write something down. And if I don't write anything, I can just delete empty files later with a trivial `find`.
You have seen the scientists writing explicit contrary to your claims, and even the specific vaccine testing protocols, I’ve given you the exact links and quotes, but you doubled down. The UK authorized Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and still:

“Although the vaccine will give recipients immunity from the virus, scientists do not yet know whether it will stop them being carriers.

Government sources said it was likely to be months before there was any prospect of the vaccine negating the need for self-isolation.”

Nope.

First line from Wikipedia[1]:

Rosetta is a dynamic binary translator developed by Apple Inc. for macOS…

Follow the link for Dynamic Binary Translator[2]:

Dynamic binary translation (DBT) looks at a short sequence of code—typically on the order of a single basic block—then translates it and caches the resulting sequence. Code is only translated as it is discovered and when possible, and branch instructions are made to point to already translated and saved code (memoization).

Dynamic binary translation differs from simple emulation (eliminating the emulator's main read-decode-execute loop—a major performance bottleneck), paying for this by large overhead during translation time. This overhead is hopefully amortized as translated code sequences are executed multiple times.

It is “unreasonable” in the sense that I don’t think you can arrive at compassion purely from reason.

I think morality and compassion are bigger than reason.

I loved this because I could also pull in weather, horoscope, daily calvin and hobbes, news headlines, top gitlab issues for my projects and add them to the html template/pdf. Frequently I'd end up physically printing it.
