Which are still followed, and has actually a special status in international law (not just in ICANN) which unlike gTLDs (which .niue will be) means that these are literally untouchable even when, I don't know, a hostile country has hosted a command center on their ccTLD?

That is your opinion. It's unlike .TV where Tuvalu has freely make the choice and still consents Verisign to manage .TV, it's literally Niue having no say on .NU

> ISO is not anything particularly special. There are a lot of silly ISOs out there. T Niue government was not even consulted when they were assigned NU.

The UK was not consulted either, and they want to have the code UK.

> It was just a bunch of white people assigning countries letters.

You know, a country can definitely request overhauling or overturning the ISO 3166 if they wanted to. You know why they didn't? Because they are at least ambivalent to it.

> I studied computer science, and in 30 years, I've hardly used any of it. There were a few jobs where some of the statistics and math were helpful, but in my long career, I've seen very little overlap between computer science and working as a software engineer.

I'm not challenging your experience, but I am replying to say that mine is the opposite. I certainly have used quite a bit of theory (over a little more than 30 years), not so much explicitly as to think about the problem I'm working on before starting to code, or in the process of discussion about some code with coworkers. Also has helped me look stuff up or learn new things.

Perhaps you've used it more than you think, but merely subconsciously?

I'll also say you won't just come across a problem that requires it, but rather you will apply that knowledge to a problem that never seemed to have needed it in the first place, and then you'll come up with a very powerful, compact, and resilient solution.

Eh, computingwise, the things that people want used to "require" a floppy or CDROM drive. The Cloud isn't a natural law, it's a stepping stone to a future which may be more service based, or more, say, appliance-based. We don't know which.

Sure, people with business interests will try to push the idea of what constitutes a valid option in various directions, but as someone more thoughtful than me once said, "prediction is hard, especially if it's about the future," and as another thoughtful person said, "even The Future has a future."

There are 1.6m over 85s (you have to be over 85 to get the vaccine) in the uk. So that's about 8% (some will be ineligible for other reasons). There is also the second jab due two weeks after the first to arrange so I guess the figure could go down as well as up...
I recall reading an article by a guy who suspected a project he worked on might be the highly twisted origin of that story.

He (and a friend?) did in fact mount JATOs on a vehicle, but they were really rather mature about the whole process. It was a rocket sled, not a car. It ran on rails extending from an abandoned mine shaft. They aimed the sled toward the mineshaft so it had a hard stop, and they built gravity-fed brakes into the sled: Between the wheels they cemented tire treads to the frame, then hydraulically lifted the entire chassis. Dump the fluid, and the entire sled weight settles onto the rails.

The main things I don't recall are how the hydraulics get cut (dead man's switch?) and whether they managed to stop the sled before it slammed into the mine entrance.
> Americans buy way more large SUVs and trucks than the rest of the world, even those with fewer than three kids (or no kids).

Trucks are a mostly useless metric here. Many of those are work trucks, and most won't fit car seats for three kids. While Americans buy lots of SUVs, many Americans do not have one, and for those, transporting three kids is indeed a challenge.

> From a pure financial standpoint, I'd look more to the cost of education, healthcare, and housing.

Housing definitely comes into play, but I don't think the other two end up being major factors in the decision because they are so far out. In the US, you literally cannot leave the hospital with your baby if you don't have adequate transportation and an approved car seat. So Americans are made acutely aware that they need to have a transportation solution for their family right now before choosing to have a baby.

Healthcare is a non-issue for many because their employer-provided insurance covers as many kids as they have. Education is somewhat far down the road and fairly fungible so it's less likely to be a showstopper.
I Don't care. There are tons of examples of building shit on stacks that won't be around. How about investing a shit ton of time into Azure Kubernetes using Docker containers to find out they dropped support, just like this startup can drop out and never be heard of again. Good luck with that.
if you need epel, or quicker life cycles then CentOS Stream should be just fine for you as well

People that run CentOS in prod are normally running ERP systems, Databases, LoB Apps, etc, and the only thing we need is the base distro and the the vendor binaries for what ever is service/app that needs to be installed, and probably an old ass version is JDK...

We need every bit of that 10 year life cycle, and we glad that we will probably only have to rebuild these systems 2 or 3 times in our career before we pass the torch to the next unlucky SOB that has to support an application that was written before we were born...

that is CentOS Administration ;)
What I found, even by the middle 2000s, was that since there were entire grad programs now dedicated to producing quants, someone trying to switch from physics, etc. was already less attractive unless it was a very special company paying attention to the potential of former scientists.

The days of a physicist being a top hire for quantitative finance based on potential in a new field, are largely over.
The point is that it’s not going away. Many times it has been pronounced dead but it has maintained enough utility to keep growing. This gives people confidence in it over time.

I have been looking for work recently (frontend/full-stack) and have been pleasantly surprised, all my interviews so far have been fairly practical React, JS, CSS questions. I spent a month leetcoding and reading Cracking the Coding Interview also. 8 months of focused work on interviewing seems... insane haha.

That said I do feel smarter for having refreshed my knowledge on BST, linked-lists, etc. I don't know if there is a better way to interview, the algo/data-structure stuff will definitely reveal your ability to stay calm and problem solve though. A tricky tree or graph problem will also reveal how strong your mental context and ability to visualize code in your head is.

CompSci theory hasn't helped me with the complexity of the industry i work in. It hasn't helped me when i've misunderstood something in our domain. It hasn't helped me release / distribute a product easier or faster or cheaper. It hasn't helped me navigate team dynamics or how to work effectively with others. It hasn't helped me write better technical texts.

So for some very specific cases, in my career (and i suspect for many business application developers) set theory has been the most useful thing i learned in CompSci. How much of a real world day do i spend using that knowledge? 0.0something% on average.

In fairness, It has sometimes helped me get a product finished sooner but this is tenuous at best because i can point to far greater influences from learning how to use specific tools that have helped me get to "done" sooner.

The difference between real world developer and CompSci isn't necessarily in more effective use of CompSci.

If anyone wants to learn more about bspwm, such as what it looks like and how it works there's a super in depth video demo of it at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAkZLFF8kP0

It is a predominantly text-only experience. I almost never consume articles from a graphical browser; I do not require images in order to read. With YouTube, either I am downloading videos that others point out by sharing a URL, or I am searching for videos on YouTube from the command line, then downloading. I get no real benefit from using a graphical browser to interact with YouTube, although I am sure Google's online advertising services business gets many benefits.
I use category theory quite frequently when doing functional programming. Unfortunately it is not taught in CS programs AFAIK. I rarely implement any tree kind of algorithms other than a simple tree visitor.

An understanding of time/space complexity (Big O Notation) is also relevant to evaluating approaches. A senior level developer will use this to make high level choices.

I also use compiler theory when writing parsers and simple DSL languages.

Honestly, never really had to deal much with red-black trees or linked list algorithms.
You can only reasonably test for acute effects. Chronic effects are only ever going to be found in large cohorts (i.e. public consumption) over a long period of time.
Be careful about diluting responsibility---if everyone can point to someone else, no one will make a hard (and not immediately profitable) decision.

In all of those studies, etc., there is someone at the top who does, and should, make the ultimate decision, just like when building a bridge, there is an engineer who puts his career on the line.
I've been hosting my own tileserver for a while, but because I couldn't build the latest times from OSM, I had to use outdated tiles.

WindowServer CPU before/after is as objective as I've got. I'm convinced there's a fire, but I can only show you the smoke: https://twitter.com/lorenb/timelines/1338892756752732169

For those that didn't measure, it's almost irrelevant — I'm telling you it's not a subtle difference. It's night-and-day.

It's very low on my list of plausible theories, but if there was a hypothetical keystone exploit, what is the latest on code-injecting WindowServer?

Also added an FAQ to the site: https://chromeisbad.com/#faq to address the low-hanging fruit of obvious objections to the possibility that Chrome/keystone is doing something to the system to cause it to thrash.

10x cheaper than Google (at least for geolocation). That's unexpected. GCP is usually cheaper than AWS.
The only reason you think 'Rocky Linux' sounds unprofessional is because you are unaccustomed to hearing it in a professional context. Before I read where the name came from, I assumed it was named after the mountain range. Would that really be so strange, considering CPUs get named after lakes or MacOS releases named after cats or regions of California?
Google Finance looks similar to Robinhood's UI. Though I've heard rumors of Google having an internal team 'google treasury' that trades stocks. I would actually be surprised if Google didn't have an internal team doing so. Similar to Jane Street/Rentech/TGS. Google has loads of more data though.

> since the cpu was far from holding them back

A common misconception, but in reality the CPU actually is very responsible for min frames and thus pushing up the average frames, preventing frames from skipping. That becomes particularly important in demanding scenarios like PCVR and generally running high-resolutions with high-refresh rates.

> which is why we have seen most pc builds include an AMD cpu for the last few years

We've seen that because they offer excellent price and performance ratio, but that didn't make them the "gaming king", it made them them "budget all-rounder king", which is not the same.
Glancing at craigslist here, the first 3 vehicles under $6000 are a 2010, a 2008 and a 2006. The low mileage of the group is 133,000. They are dealer listings also, so probably not the best deals, but there aren't many others at the price.
RHEL kernel versions are basically incomparable with vanilla kernel versions. They have hardware support and occasionally entire new features that have been backported from newer kernels in addition to the standard security & stability patches.

This means that RHEL 7 using a "kernel version" from 2014 will still work fine with modern hardware for which drivers didn't even exist in 2014.
I wonder how fast your eardrums would explode if you forgot to roll down your windows before firing up that engine.
The GTK developers do care about backwards compatibility, as evidenced by their continued maintenance of GTK3.

Jumping to pure Xlib or Motif is a bit beside the point, to that end you might as well use GTK1 or GTK2 if you don't mind using an old stable API that is not really being updated anymore.
Deep Learning from Scratch: Building with Python from First Principles
The demographic and cultural roots of the midlife crisis
Below 1700 or so, openings are mostly a waste of time and tactics rule the day. Learning the basic opening principles and two basic opening moves that you keep playing (one for white, one for black) and focusing on tactics [1][2] is in my experience the fastest way to advance.

After 1700 or so, specific openings can be studied. I suggest playing d4 instead of e4 as white (avoids dealing with the Sicilian) and as black the French defense (for e4) and the KID (for d4). This is mostly coming from the POV of getting good at the game with a minimum of theory preparation, whilst being able to deploy the same openings in blitz and bullet games if need be.

Another bonus of getting strong at tactics, is that you'll be able to see and appreciate ideas behind the openings and your game analysis will also improve. There are excellent GM analysis videos on Youtube that one can start extracting value from too.

Does this mean I can run containers natively on Mac? And I don't need a VirtualBox VM running on my Mac to launch containers? This would be huge for me, and is always a big in my mind why I would consider switching back to Linux.

Edit: Docker on Mac has never felt as snappy as on Linux, because of the VM, though I have no hard numbers. Networking is a PITA, but it's not hard to figure out. The other main thing I hate is I have to give up a bunch of RAM to the VM that my containers may or may not use, instead of sharing with the host like on Linux.
I have visited Mumbai and now have co workers in New Delhi. I had to leave Mumbai after two days because I couldn't stand the air anymore.

> Let's start by assuming that the city has a reason for their stance; as I assume you do for thinking that politics in the city is out of control.

Not really sure what you're trying to get at here.

> Requiring your own name to appear on everything from street signs to labcoats for fifty years as part of the conditions of the donation, however, seems unusual at the least

Maybe. I mean if I had a hospital renamed after me I'd probably want that too, but if it was unusual or the hospital didn't want to do that, certainly they could have either not accepted the money or tried to remove that requirement? Here in Columbus where I live we have the Wexner Medical Center which is named for Les Wexner who is the co-founder of Victoria's Secret and Limited Brands. Physicians, nurses, and staff wear a logo on their uniforms which says The Ohio State University and then under it Wexner Medical Center.

So at a minimum, it's at least not unusual to me. Although yea sure I can see how people can say they don't like it and whatnot.

> It'll probably all become clearer with time if you talk to people rather than antagonize them.

If you're speaking to me, I'd like to know who you think I'm not talking to (or talking to) and who I'm antagonizing or not antagonizing.

If you find my statement about politics in San Francisco to be antagonistic, well, I apologize that you feel that way but I also believe that statement based on the variety of news sources I read, comments and news stories here on Hacker News, and my own opinion from having visited a few times and seen first hand how some policies have affected the city.
I would put schools under "places you can't reasonably social distance".

That's why online school has been such a common thing; but, the United States isn't very good at it, and we haven't built out the appropriate social support structures and patterns (and have gone against those patterns in many cases), so it hasn't been especially viable.

Remote learning was considered better than cancelling school altogether; but, then we ran into the problem of parents and children working and going to school in the same place and that came with its own burdens.

The most important thing on your path to becoming a software engineer is building stuff, improving it, releasing it, and thinking how you can do it better. Having been through the lifecycle of a piece of software from design to maintenance will also provide a wealth of experience.

I understand that it's popular to let people solve toy problems during interviews, and think that's ok for people coming out of university. However for more senior roles I would rather hand out a coding assignment. You can judge the experience of a developer much better by the way she/he chooses algorithms, considers corner cases, supportability etc.
Yeah, I don't disagree. Just to be clear I want to re-emphasize that I applaud you or any other organization that unilaterally takes steps like this. It is a good thing.

I just always think about the indirect incentives our choices make in the broader ecosystem. Some systemic problems can be solved by individuals incrementally making different choices, but I think some require larger organization and coordination. And, to some degree (but not enough to cancel out the merit of an individual moral choice) a choice to do the right thing can actually make it easier for others to exploit more.
Disclaimer: I'm a China national.

You seems to be implying that there is no real users protesting against this game (and/or the Xi memes) but this is definitely not true. I've seen plenty of real people complaining about the references in that game, mostly on Weibo.

Regarding Taiwan, CCP does put pressure on companies but this feeling/motivation is (almost unanimously) shared by the people in China.

My point is, simply brushing off the "real" voices coming from ordinary people in China and claiming they don't exist are not very substantive and won't help understand them. For example there is one question I asked myself during the protest against that game: Why do my fellow countryperson take a meme directly at Xi an insult to them?
I think it honestly depends on what you do. I use data structures all the time; I just don't have to implement them.
