Anything above 1080p doesn't give you any more usable screen space at that physical size. It's very debatable whether just having richer blacks is worth the battery life hit.
The same way you size up anyone else's aptitude, really: by making them feel comfortable, speaking with them honestly, trying to quickly figure out what excites them and asking lots of follow-up questions. When someone is eager and bright, and they've been made to feel relaxed, it's usually obvious.

Conducting a great interview is hard. It requires some mentorship and a ton of practice. Not everyone's cut out for it. But when a technical interview is led by an experienced technical person who knows how to interview well, the candidate knows they're being assessed fairly, and you get far more valuable information than you would from these coding challenges.

As for reading, a lot of these blog links found on top HN threads have negligible ads. Plus I have a habit of turning on reading mode.

Or I just send blog links to Pocket and then read them later. The reading mode/pocket app cleanup the ads while also making the content more readable with font/bg of your choice.

Too bad the author (perhaps strategically) dodged the two seminal for their era microcomputer braches, the 16-bit Ataris and the Amigas.

I once read that properly written Amiga software achieved around 16ms latency and would like to see that verified or debunked.
I was referring to the Pangolin, which I had never heard of until 10 months ago. Mascot was probably the wrong word, but I don’t know what else to call the naming trend of “use an animal name that starts with the letter we want”.

“Not good enough” is not an accurate description.

There is an abundance of people more than “good enough” for roles at FAANGs. They may simply not be stellar at the examination process used by FAANGs to assess candidates.

As much as many folks at those companies might want to partake in some fart-huffing and call that a predictor of engineering excellence, it’s not. It’s an optimization to shovel candidates at scale, and intentionally throws out ton of exceptional and even over-qualified individuals to instead hire a predictable style of engineer with as little investment as possible.
49Wh is very small battery for a laptop, even a light one, which this one isn't particularly. So spec-wise not impressive. Not surprising as it's competing with some pretty big players with a lot of hardware expertise.

For reference the LG Gram 15 has a 72Whr battery at 1.1kg. The current champ in 'battery size to weight ratio'. Most ultraportables have a 50-60Whr battery at around 1.3kg.
Amps * Volts = Watts

Watt-Hours are unambiguous units of energy, Amp hours are ambiguous without knowing the voltage.

since you said mAh (milliamp-hours), I'm thinking you are talking about phone batteries which are typically in the 3.3-3.6V range depending on the chemistry, then 1000mAh would be 3.3-3.6Wh.

As a comparison the Dell XPS 13 has a 52Wh battery, so it's not a very big battery. 49Wh is what the new MacBook Air has, but the Air has a much lower power CPU.
At its worst case, sure. But it also means, can I work with this person? Can we be productive together? Are they picking up what I and the rest of the team will be throwing down?

Everyone has had to do a terrible group project in school where the group dynamic was just not there and the whole thing suffered, despite all the smarts being at the table. This is to attempt to avoid that exact same thing from happening, because often you just don't have the time to flub around telling someone how to document something properly for the 10th time.
Very nice! i installed it and will give it a shot. Thanks for sharing!
There’s probably a lot of countries that “trigger” Americans with “negative sentiments”. Some justified, some not. Regardless of the justification, keeping track of the scientific progress of a country that has explicitly set out to usurp the US is useful.

I think it really depends on how and where you get referred. Bigger companies are likely to be process heavy and inflexible.

My last three interviews and job moves have all been from referrals or old colleagues. None had coding challenges and all resulted in job offers. But that was a small satellite team for a big org and two early stage startups.

It’s also a consequence of timing and luck though. I’d definitely be prepping harder for job hunting.
You can't believe how many people are unable to do the basic things like sort an array.

These kind of questions is not to see how smart you are, it is to weed out all the ones who don't event get the most basic parts of programming. And I can assure you as someone doing a shitload of interviews, that a huge part of candidates doesn't understand the basics of programming such as sorting an array.

If all candidates had a minimum competence, sure we could do other kinds of things. But right now, you will first have to pass the "I can do newbie programming" tests.
I'm still figuring out my own ways. Right now, lots of text/markdown files. I really like "My productivity app for the past 12 years has been a single .txt file"[1].

> The problem is when we interpret every event through a single filter, or give one filter primacy in all interpretations of events that filter now colors everything we see.

Anyone noticing the irony of this seeming to be pretty much what the paper author seems to be blaming the machine learning systems for ?
Just to clear things up you mean 3.64 lbs (1.65kg). I saw 1.6 lbs and was like "woah that's well under 1kg for a 15" laptop!"

I think 3.64 lbs (1.65kg) is perfectly acceptable for a 15" laptop, not the lightest but also not the heaviest.

However 49Wh is on the low end for this size laptop imho. Granted it isn't having to put a HiDPI screen and hopefully the Ryzen is more energy efficient than Intel but I doubt it is going to be a show stopper in the battery life department.
“Building software to compete with other companies” wouldn’t be specific enough for me if I was the judge.

If you said to me “we are building a VR headset and there is a specific image technique we want to employ to correct for foveated lenses, and we want to bring in an image processing expert” then that would be different if I was the judge.

I’m not arguing what should be the case, I’m saying what I think the intent of the current law accommodates for.
I used to do exactly this. However, a couple of years ago when my second child was born I got a family domain and gave them both local email addresses. Then it was just a matter of getting a cheap email host and migrating over from gmail.

I also have a regular ema backup script that backsup the inboxes so the emails are always available offline!
You write: “Remember, we are not talking about science here, we are talking about policy” but, sorry, no, in many messages you just kept claiming the opposite of what is scientifically known at this very moment, and I’ve pointed to that false claim and gave you the quotes and the original vaccine tests protocols. Now the whole country is warned as explicitly as possible, most probably even with legal consequences to those who act against:

https://news.yahoo.com/exclusive-vaccine-wont-free-self-1656...

As you ask what my proposal is:

1) You should apologize for spreading the beliefs that can put people in danger and stop doing that.

2) Understand what's currently scientifically known, and avoid spreading misinformation.

3) Regarding what the policy should be: allow the science to do its work instead promoting measures or beliefs that can put people in danger. The world had enough of that for months. Vaccines are good and should be used, but not believing what you promoted -- not behaving as the immunity provided by the vaccine was higher than what's known at the moment.
Are the dependencies cached in between sessions? Otherwise if it's a cold build every time, that will probably not make it faster than locally where most of the dependencies are already ready to go. Network calls can be pretty expensive relative to local build computations in general.

> Fiat game mechanics force them to "invest" in "productive" assets in order to stay ahead of inflation

So you’re suggesting this is a bad thing? And the alternative of hoarding unproductive assets is preferable?

> houses...a lot of it is its value as a scarce asset that is somewhat resistant to inflation.

The reason houses are expensive has nothing to do with being resistant to inflation. They get expensive when the supply of the land they sit on gets used up relative to the number of people who want to live in a given area.

Houses in rural Kentucky aren’t expensive at all, because nobody wants to live there. That’s the main factor driving prices, not some inflation hedge. If the only reason people bought houses was to hedge inflation, they’d be better off buying stocks which are even more productive and produce returns above inflation.

> this is not a great allocation of resources and is an incredibly inefficient way for saving to work.

After reading this, I could not be more confused.

So you’re saying that, the inflation mechanics of fiat is bad because it encourages people to invest in productive businesses and build useful real estate? And it’d be more efficient for society if everybody kept a useless stash of gold bars in their basement and took no risk?

How would this make less people want to live in SF and houses suddenly cheaper?
Accepting a resignation means Google doesn't have to pay unemployment benefits. But ultimately, it was their choice to let her go. And the immediateness of the decision and revocation of all access smells like how you treat an employee you're firing.
I'm assuming Google's paying about 5x what the hdds alone cost, which I guess would cover backups, infrastructure besides the hdd cost, power, and software. But it could be more than that. 15x the cost of hdds seems high, but storage could be that expensive for them.
I think the art of Boris Vallejo and his compatriots was instrumental in 80s fantasy having a sexploitation theme. Their work was so influential that it shaped fantasy themes for decades and gave nerds like us an expression of the typical teenage male power fantasy
Every few weeks this topic comes up and the complaint is always the same: Coding interviews have nothing to do with day-to-day work. But who says that this is the goal of those interviews? Maybe these companies simply want young, ambitious and smart people and their coding interviews measure exactly that: Young (has enough time practicing leetcode questions), ambitious (is willing to spend time practicing leetcode questions) and smart (recently graduated and still has detailed CS and algorithmic knowledge in mind and is mentally capable of solving algorithmic problems).
Again an answer with a lot of fluff but no real content.

So what do you ask then? How do you assess the skills of the candidate?
> Her e-mail identifies that you can speak on racism and sexism as much as you want, but all of your speech will be routed to /dev/null.

I think the fact people need to go through HR to give Feedback means the speech isn't going to /dev/null. People seem to take her speech very seriously and don't want to feel her wrath.

In fact, Google even appeared to take her concerns onboard after she got a lawyer and only threatened to sue. She just seems to expect more which is the entitlement I was talking about.

I really do wonder where exactly 4K would begin if more and weirder resolutions were commercially available. Like, the fact that 3840x2160 is considered the canonical 4K resolution means you don’t actually need 4000 pixels, just a number that’s close to 4000. I wonder what would happen if someone dropped a 3800x2000 display just to mess with people.
Much earlier than that, at least as early as the pulp novels and comic books of the 1930s. Frank Frazetta's covers for Conan The Barbarian were almost certainly what solidified the depiction in the popular consciousness.

as a bonus your whole deployment is now just running a single sql script no fancy tools needed. You scale out by adding sync read replicas and segregating mutations to master and reads to replicas. You can autoscale by taking snapshot and spinning up a replica and spinning it down when no longer needed.
> Science is a global cooperative effort, rather than a national competition.

Haha... that's not at all the case; academics are petty people with fragile egos who are often under the thumb of lab directors with even worse egos and often come into that role with an ax to grind. Racism, be it veiled or otherwise, is also no stranger to the realms of Science. Much less the dregs called the peer-reviewed system. Consider the plight of Dr. He Jiankui who many researchers in the West lauded in private, but scorned in public when the 'evil Chinese Scientist' revealed his results to the Public because grant money and political standing were at risk.

Collaborations are limited in so far as their personal utility for more grants or prestige, lets not elevate researchers and their horrible practices to places they do not belong.

I think you would find the process entirely sad and depressing, as most of us did in our undergrad, when you see it for what it really is.
Yeah, it does seem like the best jobs are the ones that you don't have to jump through arbitrary hoops for. Ideally, your employer or client will respect you as a human being who has something valuable to bring to the table.

When I find "good jobs", they almost always crop up from serendipity in areas that I am genuinely interested in at the time. Looking back it feels like dumb luck, but the sort of dumb luck that is helped along by trying to make your own opportunities.

If you ever have a chance to talk candidly with an executive or entrepreneur about a subject that you are passionate about...well, at least take the meeting. Those sorts of discussions aren't interviews per se, but sometimes your vision will click with someone else's, and that's where the magic happens.

Objection is common when the US is used to represent its accomplishments. The objectors usually counter that it's a win for humanity, as a way to debase something positive for the US. Happens in every major thread on HN that involves the US doing something great.

See: every significant accomplishment by SpaceX or NASA for a repeating case.

If you really want to see objectors get triggered, check out the past threads that tangent off about SpaceX employees chanting USA USA USA on video, that's always quite amusing.

Warner Brothers were pioneers in the implementation of motion picture sound technology in the 1920s with Don Juan and The Jazz Singer, among others [0]. Which is to say the experience of going and seeing movies was shaped by Warner’s risky investments in those technologies when they were new. There are actually allusions to this in Singin’ in the Rain [1].

Before the M1 I worried about that. Now I don’t. The M1 is the lowest performance, lowest end Mac chip Apple will ever make, and it’s already knocking on the door of premium Intel and AMD chips. Not the super-premium, highly multicore stuff like threadripper, buts it’s a lot closer than anyone expected in single core.

To me, this means that when Apple consciously goes after the high end desktop market, they are likely to overshoot in exactly the same way M1 overshot the mid range mobile space. That could put Apple’s high end iMac chips in Mac Pro territory anyway.
I'd say that sounds like George Carlin but just a guess.

Azuma’s discussion of otaku culture is nothing short of revelatory for anybody who looks at the proliferation of animanga imagery and associated ideas and is attempting to understand their underlying structure. The manuscript he mentions in that interview is now an excellent book - “Otaku - Japan’s Database Animals” - which expands heavily on the concepts he mentions here including further discussion of Murakami.

How does recommendation work? There used to be a site called mov3y which was also on HN a while ago, and I loved it. this gives me similar vibes. that site did recommendations by finding users who also rated movies you have rated about the same score and i found that to work really well.
Google has a slightly different problem. It has trained users into believing that shit should be free (and maybe supported by advertising) and over the years it has accumulated a significant chunk of users who either wholly believe in that mindset or are simply unable to pay for xyz reasons. Of course, people are going to raise hell when they start charging for something that was free for a decade. Google sowed the seeds on this one.
