We’ve seen Facebook employment ads already used to specifically target younger people.

It’s more about excluding people from advertising as opposed to including. If you think of it from that angle it won’t take too much imagination to see the issues that may arise.
Nitpick: you‘d have a disincentive in the, roughly, 1.000.001-1.220.000 range. Above that, you make more money anyway.
Yep, this is how the program works. One thing I would add is the $1 million threshold is based on your net proceeds after Apple’s cut, not your total sales.

several steps backwards from even just editing code in Windows notepad.

Maybe for you. For myself (a professional data scientist) and every other professional data scientist I have worked with, notebooks are useful and better than Windows Notepad, otherwise we would all be using Windows Notepad.

This is such a strongly worded post that I have to wonder what exactly you are trying to do with notebooks, that makes it not just suboptimal but atrocious. Because it sounds like you're using it for something other than its intended purpose, in which case of course it's atrocious, because you're using a tool for something other than what it was designed to do.

If you think of a notebook like a tool for literate programming, then sure, I can see why you might have issues with them. They don't integrate well with text editors, other tooling such as test runners, or even the Python import system. I would strongly recommend against writing a library in Jupyter. I would strongly recommend against writing low-level CUDA code in a Python notebook. I would weakly recommend against writing production ETL pipelines in a notebook (although if your ETL pipeline is just untested spaghetti code, you might as well do it in a notebook).

Notebooks are not competing with IDEs, text editors, or any other dev tooling. Notebooks are an alternative to REPLs. If you use a notebook like a super-powered REPL, you are going to get a lot out of it. I can't think of a single complaint about a notebook that can't also be leveled at an "Editor+REPL" type of workflow, and I can think of many problems with the Editor+REPL setup that are solved by notebooks.

If you prefer using Spyder and RStudio with the console and plot window, that's great. I honestly do too. There is a lot to dislike about Jupyter Notebook and Jupyter Lab specifically. But notebooks in general, and Jupyter specifically, are still the most efficient tool I've found for doing something, keeping track of / taking notes on what I did, and displaying the results in a way that I and my colleagues can easily understand what I did.

There are also other notebook formats such as RMarkdown and Pluto, both of which have much nicer plain-text representations than Jupyter Notebook. I'm a big fan of those, too. But there are tradeoffs in every design and I'm not about to malign the Jupyter project (or its ancestor IPython) for its choice to use JSON.

The working name was "Comic Book". Probably because it is based on multiple comic books, primarily The Dark Knight Returns. I've also seen Watchmen mentioned in other interviews as a primary source for the shapes though he doesn't mention it in his page on the font.

> The use of LLVM is part of the design, and how use it is too.

This is false. There is the Rust Cranelift backend in development, which is actually usable already (depending on the project). Having a fast compiler for debug builds and a slow one for release ones is a setup that I can imagine being the future of Rust.

I've just built a project of mine and it took exactly half of the time to compile, when compared to the standard compiler.

It's actually crazy that they're even developing a JIT (although it requires dynamic libraries as dependencies, so its usage is and possibly will be limited).

FWIW, I love buying stuff from the Mac App Store and I wish all my favorite Mac apps were available there. I love the automatic updates, I feel safer with the sandboxing, and I appreciate the convenience of visiting a single point to download almost everything I want to put on a new Mac.

I also cherish having control over subscription renewals from one list and the Apple's easy refund process in the event of a third-party app not turning out to be worth the money (or an outright scam).

And as a dev I like knowing that anything I publish will be available to all Mac users.

I do hate the crappy App Store.app UI though. Feels like navigating a clunk web page, and why the fluff did they remove the download progress stats?? You have to hit F4 to see the actual size/downloaded numbers in the Launchpad (or in the Applications folder I guess).
The CEO didn’t refuse to say she resigned. He refused to say she was fired and refused to contradict earlier statements of her resignation.
Doing well on whiteboard interviews can be a sign of high intelligence (a true positive result). But what signal does doing poorly on them give? Did you measure the candidate's intelligence (true negative), or preparedness maybe anxiety levels (false negative)? I guess the answer is that it does not matter as long as you have a large enough true positive candidate pool. And FAANG has this.

I _really_ wish Bear had multiple notebooks. I'd love to fully separate work from personal notes for instance. It's not that I can't organize it in a way that makes sense. But if I am not at work, I really don't want to see work. Clear separation of work and home matter a lot when you work from home. The more they blur together the worse it can get.

So, I'm stuck using Bear for personal use only because I don't want to contaminate my personal time.

> I'd say that it's very unlikely that the UX will be ruined by ads [...]. If there's one thing he does well it's respecting his users.

If there's one thing Telegram isn't good at, it's having a UX that respect its users. If that was the case, it would be possible to opt out of notifications from group chats and still receive notifications for private chats, but it's not. This forces one to juggle with multiple accounts if they want to both join public groups and also use it for regular chats.

They already put engagement over respect for their users, I don't have much confidence they won't ruin it even more with ads.
Yeah that's exactly right, it's an event loop.

It's hilarious to me that it's hitting "1.0" now. I remember the original release ~4 years ago?? That was way before Rust even had async/await. I imagine there were quite a few refactors. I mean, so much work, to make a library for asynchronous network service programming? If I needed an event loop and a scheduler I think I would just invest in implementing it myself, tailored to the requirements of my project.
This is troubling. I've been a fitbit user for a few years. I've contemplated hard between an Apple Watch and Fitbit. I decided to stay with the Fitbit for a few reasons:

* Longer Battery Life

* Sleep Tracking

* Smaller device on wrist with the Charge 4 vs Apple Watch.

Can people suggest alternatives to Fitbit? My favorite feature is the sleep tracking (but who knows how accurate it is). Does Garmin or Apple have comparable features to Fitbit, especially with sleep and battery life?
The other day I tried like 10 times on mobile and web (and in incognito) to get Maps to show me a map of where all the Weinerschnitzel locations were in the US (you'd think Google MAPS could do that right), and no matter how far I zoomed out on any device, if I hit enter on the search or hit "Search this area" it zoomed me back in on my region and said 'oh right there'. NO GOOGLE that's not what I wanted at any point...thanks for assuming you know what information I want, again, even in incognito. "directions to work campus" always sends me over a toll bridge when I have no tolls selected as my default!

Maps, as far as I'm concerned, is a dead product already. It won't show me the closest local places at times, or refuses to show me other locations. It editorializes my searches, and gives me bad directions. I quite honestly cannot wait for a better alternative in an app. I wish HERE Maps had survived the Nokia acquisition.

MapQuest got my back though. :)
We could use one like this as a follow bot for the farm/field. Outdoors. More for transporting 50 lbs of greens.

Will the company tweak it a little for a different product? I can find a market for them in the small farm/market garden space. We need this. It’s the right price point too.

Any idea how to reach out to them or to any developers who can do it as an open source project?

Facebook might have a point, however the PR team really are so utterly stuck in their own bubble they have failed to understand that they've not done the legwork.

The problem is that internally the Comms people believe the shit they post on workplace, which is that facebook is all about supporting small businesses. The issue is that they are so ineffectual that most people only know this when they sit through the 2 day bootcamp induction.

If they want to pull this kind of stunt off then they needed to have spent the last six months bombarding print and TV with their success stories. But they haven't, they've just reached out and referenced numbers that only true believers know.

Basically Facebook's PR appears to be amateurish and unable to understand how to interpret public sentiment. for a company supposedly so good at data, they are sure as shit terrible about commissioning and understanding opinion polls.

I haven't used it extensively, and I haven't used the collaboration features at all, but for me a few things make me dread the opening it at all.

- The performance. Just awful on my MacBook that this a couple years old (read, nothing extreme at all). It's of course better on my shiny new desktop but fundamentally, it's been slow there too.

- Tables. If performance was tolerable elsewhere, tables are not. Everything is 2x slower. Wouldn't even think of attempting to use them on my phone (which also isn't old)

- Where are my billing setting on the app? Nowhere to be seen. And not on the website either, unless I go into desktop mode. I was thinking it was free for a couple months because I couldn't find the settings.

- Launch time. Don't get me started. When I used it i tried to never close it to avoid the launch times.

In the end I switched over the list-stuff to Todoist which had served me good, but it's of course missing the whole smart doc thing. I really don't understand if the devs all have beast machines or if they just don't care about performance at all. I'm not trying the product again in a while.
Regarding 3, I don't think you can uninvent it, as it seems to be part of human psychology. Books like Sapiens and Elephant in the Brain explain why, religions are useful social technologies to bring together large groups of people and coordinate them. Humans in religions which were able to do that have survived in the game of natural selection versus those who did not believe in religions, and so religion itself has become melded in our psychology.
There's some real gems mixed in with some fairly mundane stuff.

I would summarize the good stuff like this:

Try to understand how evolution works, because you are a product of it. What you like to eat, what you like to do, who you want to hang out with, why you feel good or bad when {situations} happens.

But don't be a slave to it. Yes, there is a pressure to be the alpha male. Yes, you will get angry when people cheat you. But you are not a meat machine, you are still a person that can respond to the world with your own agency.

This isn't a useful observation.

A communication has many links in a chain.

Some links in most chains will have some weakness or other. So what?

That does not mean that there is no value in the strong links.

You might as well say "But if the attacker has a sniper, which likely all the big players do, they don't need to read you communications to get you, they can just shoot you from across the street. Which means Signal will do squat to protect your life in that case."
It’s really difficult to keep your data in sync with the backend, especially at scale. They also fit in well in a micro service architecture, which solves a lot of comms and maintenance problems at scale.

The typical hn startup is expected to grow to that size, to an enterprise scale, so you’re not going to see a lot of people use Django.

Don't forget also documenting your findings. Without a notebook, results end up divorced from code stuffed into a folder with weird names. To properly document you have to write something in latex or word or markdown, but with a notebook you can keep code, graphs, and notes all together.
The print spooler runs under the local system account so you effectively get admin rights over the local machine. If it's a terminal server then you control the server.

Tip 13 should just be tip 1 applied to recipes. Searching reddit for recipes can yield ones that many people have actually tried and feel like opining on. The downside of Reddit opinions is that it heavily weighs the enthusiasts' point of view, not the once-in-a-while dabbler. You might get a solution that's grander, more expensive, or more complex than your needs. Someone might swear by a vacuum cleaner or pot roast recipe with a million bells and whistles when a basic version would have worked for you just fine.

I remember when I first learned about multitasking. I think I read an article in Compute! or PC Magazine about Desqview or Concurrent DOS, and I remember wondering "Who would ever want to run two programs at the same time? Nobody has a multitasking brain!"

The mechanical transformation described in the article does not change the asymptotic complexity of the program. It just changes it from using an implicit (recursion) stack, to using an explicit stack.

The neat thing about that transformation, in my opinion, is that it works even for complicated algorithms. Sometimes you really do need to rewrite something to use an explicit stack, and that can be quite tricky to get right!
Would fitness landscapes help for part of it?

deep learning in terms of classes I did a number of things. i did an online udemy class but met in person with some people from a local Meetup.com. then I joined a few kaggle teams and learned from folks there. then i paid a decent amount of money to get some facetime directly with leading experts. then i knew enough to just talk with experts on my own for free.

There is no law that corporations have to act in their financial interests. They merely have to act in the interests of their owners (shareholders). Owners can choose to prioritize ethics over maximum financial return. This tends to be less likely (and harder to for owners to communicate) with publicly traded corporations, but studies do show e.g. that privately held large corporations are far more reluctant to do mass layoffs.

The real issue is Darwinian survival of the most profitable though - if doing the ethical thing isn't sufficiently rewarded with goodwill etc., then the least ethical corporations will expand the fastest, and outcompete the more ethical corporations. In the end, it is up to government, consumers, and workers to ensure that acting in an ethical way is not net harmful to a company's bottom line.
I wonder whether there is any ongoing effort to unify the ecosystem between different runtimes. Specially considering that Tokio and futures (by extension async-std) implement their own Async* traits, it seems that it becomes even harder to write runtime agnostic libraries. It would be nice if these fundamental traits were part of rust std library.

I'd generalize that a bit: don't just pick gifts from someone's profession or passion, if you are not familiar with that field.

Even if you buy a merch, they might already have a same one.

Instead, ask the giftee what they wants, or ask another professional, or offer a gift card of a shop frequented by the them.
