Yeah, vanilla CoH had "The stuff" IMO.

It was more about decissions than APM. The resouce system was very cool too.

It was super streamer friendly; any viewer could look at it for 10 seconds and understand what was going on - zero nerdiness required. And it was gorgeous for its time.

Then Relic started making a lot of mistakes:

- New factions with units a viewer would need to "learn" to be able to understand what was going on in the match.

- Introduced a super defensive faction which could fight the old defensive faction, resulting in long, abhorrently boring games.

- CoH2 which sold new mini-DLCs each month with special units purposely not balanced for online play. Top scummy.

- A plethora of other things I won't bore you with. But Relic became a customer-toxic company in my eyes.

But vanilla CoH could be examined to find gold, IMO.
Here's a great FPV video from Portugal. Just saw it a month ago on YouTube. (If it doesn't play for you, search for "NAZARÉ x FPV DRONE CINEMATIC" on the channel "RED- FPV".) I was actually more hopeful that Europe was doing better than us! I'm not even sure how the FAA would deal with something like this, other than to require some elaborate waiver that would take all of the creative energy out of a project like this.

After reading the comments, whether SaaS is worth it seems to depend on a company's circumstances.

A company that depends on capital from investors likely needs to grow at a certain rate, and SaaS can help with that. For a company that's self funded and does not need to grow quickly, using FOSS instead of SaaS can be very beneficial. As usual, YMMV.
ETA on further integrations, esp, HubSpot? Sick of paying Front an extra $20/user/mo just for that.

Yes, I'm very aware. The CIA was engaging in torture in the name of research.

My quip was based on the fact that under proper set and setting LSD has the ability to "open the mind" beyond the "normal world" and its associated conventions.
But look at the specific issue in question here:

> The disagreement centers on a chain letter that spread on Facebook Messenger in Myanmar in September. The messages warned Buddhist communities of an imminent Muslim attack. Meanwhile, Muslim populations received a separate message cautioning them of violence from militant Buddhist groups.

If you take that description to a smart, compassionate person who doesn't happen to know the 2015-2020 politics of Myanmar, they'll have no idea what the right moderation strategy is. (They're actually pretty likely to come up with a worse answer than Facebook, because the Burmese government is led by Aung San Suu Kyi, globally known from 1990 to 2015 as a brave fighter for freedom and human rights.) So this isn't just a matter of moderation tools; in order to moderate appropriately, Facebook has to be aware of all current human rights controversies in all countries. That's a high bar!
Who is Terry Tate? Why should we (or anyone) care what he has to say about company culture?
The article makes the claim that models which show similar train and test losses demonstrate minimal overfitting -- and are therefore less likely generally to exhibit a lot of text memorization.

I wonder the degree to which this inference is true in practice with respect to information like phone numbers... How exactly are the train and test sets formed in a de-correlated-with-respect-to-memorization-of-phone-numbers manner for models of GPT class that are trained on corpus's the size of the internet?

If a particular person's phone number occurs 1000 times in the corpus prior to being split into train/test sets, what are the chances that the number only appears in either the train or test set but not both?
I think you maybe right. I had read this a while back so maybe it didn't end up getting implmeented.
I really liked the whole Wind of Change podcast: https://crooked.com/podcast-series/wind-of-change/

It’s about how the CIA might have written the Wind of Change song sung by the Scorpions in the 80s, but it has a nuanced take on it.

There was also a really good podcast about the Iraq war called blowback: https://blowback.show/
>Nobody needs multiple accounts.

I use multiple accounts on Reddit; one for posts and comments I want associated with my name, one for my more radical political views, and one for general shitposts. Reddit happily supports multiple accounts and RES even makes it trivial to switch between them. While it is possible that nobody needs multiple accounts, they can be useful.
>My name was SLJ7 until a few days ago, when that account got suspended. For those who don't know, suspentions are Reddit's answer to the controversial shadowban. I'm still able to view Reddit, but can't interact in any way with my subs. I got a PM alerting me to this fact, and it very unhelpfully referenced the content policy, which I'm 99% certain I haven't violated. So, I went through the fairly easy appeal process, stating that I don't know what I did and would like to have my account back. I received what was certainly an automated response telling me my suspention would not be lifted, and I should familiarize myself with the content policy.

It seems like every year that website just gets worse and worse.
But how whiteboard interviews help (1)? I see them as unconnected and would prefer for that (for example) giving a sample assignment for 2 hours on/off-site
I’d bet that the dollar amounts involved where appointed officials corruptly use regulation to solicit bribes in the U.S. is orders of magnitude smaller than the amounts involved in “campaign donations” to elected officials to prevent and remove regulations.

The amount in question in that article is $5,000.

For comparison, the amount in question here is $34,000:

Reply All - #158 The Case of the Missing Hit
I've noticed something similar in my line of work.

One of the major "metrics" that we track is how much a customer has to put effort in to fix an issue/ticket. This is measured via a survey that's sent out after ticket closure, but many customers never see it or choise not to respond.

A few months ago, I started adding a little post script "A survey is sent out after this case closes. I would appreciate it if you answered it!". Response rates for the survey jumped from 11% to 75%. Many of the responses were generally positive as well, trending our scores up by 11% and still climbing.

Sometimes asking nicely is a powerful tool, for good and potentially evil.
The only reason I have Microsoft 365 is Excel. Everything else I can live with GSuite. I also like to have my software and data on my local drive if I want. If Excel isn't needed, GSuite it is!
This seems a pretty good read and I've enjoyed it, thanks!

The only spot that really made me grimace was "closing on hiring candidates" advice:

Ask them, "If we were to make you the following offer (state the offer in full detail, including cash, equity, benefits, etc), would you accept?"

This seems like trying to secure (what the candidate believes to be) a binding decision in the candidate's mind before the details of the offer are laid out, or at the least an offer with immediate acceptance (if you don't pre-accept this offer, I'm not telling you what it is)

It's cute that this guide wants to position the official offer letter as just an endzone dance for the recruiter and candidate, when it is the only thing of legal substance, the only source of guarantees, in the whole process.

I would advise anyone caught in this recruiting tactic to treat a "verbal yes" as exactly what it is - hot air transmitted into a room or over a mic - and scrutinize (and if necessary, clarify or haggle over) the offer documentation.
That's an extreme mesure indeed, fact-checking political ads can be another solution, but FB won't do it either.

Hey there,
This was somewhat mentioned in other comments but I wonder why did you decide to invest such an effort on ML solutions whereas UX (splitting to filtered and unfiltered) seems to yield good results. Was it marketing?
Not only is it not ironclad, it’s unsupported.

Accurate headlines would be more like “Reddit bans users after they use an accessibility app” or “Reddit users banned after they use accessibility app.”

There is just no basis for ascribing intent here.
In the not too distant past GitHub was hit by some massive DDOS attacks themselves.
I do think "culture" is overused in the MBA buzzword sense sometimes, but even I know having a kegerator or [dis]allowing political activism on campus has absolutely nothing to do with culture.
"Nobody needs multiple accounts"

Sorry. What?

I can think of many valid reasons.

How about simply wanting to keep different aspects of your public persons separate?

Happy holidays! :)
So far it doesn’t look like there’s even too strong of a pattern establishing the link between the account suspensions.

Even if there was a link just because the app is accessible doesn’t mean Reddit can’t ban it. If the Reddit website isn’t accessible then they have a problem.
The stiff translations are hilarious.
Hard to know best because I don’t know the opportunity cost.

1. Moving from Aus to US to be in the hub of where software is made.

2. Marrying my wife (again hard to know opp cost since I’ve only been married once. But life is deffo better than being single)

3. Switching jobs every couple of years to work on something interesting and impactful.

4. Healthy habits such as healthy eating, exercise, read books, call friends, save and invest, travel international once an year.

I guess the biggest decision is to invest in habit building (habits compound over time)
Why are video games more appealing than real life?
Imagine a graph where the x-axis is competence and the y-axis is self-perceived competence.

Quadrant II of that graph is Dunning-Kruger. Quadrant IV is imposter syndrome. Quadrants I and III aren’t talked about but I suspect most people, most of the time, end up in these quadrants if you ask them about their ability to repair helicopter engines or perform open-heart surgery.
Article says Reddit suspended TWO people, the HN post title makes it sound they suspended everyone using the client.

Please use the original title from the article.
There needs to be some sort of push in the other direction for this trend of not stating why bans happen, and treating wild speculation as fact because the site owners choose not to provide the user (and the public they tell) info on the ban is a perfectly acceptable solution.

I do this too, infact I built a walking desk to just assist this habit of mine, so that I can think while looking at my screen and then also walk at the same time. I have been using it for the past couple of days, and till now tbh it doesn't really feel the same as it does with walking around the room but I'm slowly getting used to it, and my knee pain from sitting is gone
Neat! I had no idea this was a thing, thanks for sharing.
Abusing version control and CI service as database sounds like a way for ruining it for open source projects that actually need it. The recent Travis thing didn't happen without reason.

Reddit community guidelines allow you to use multiple accounts, and bans for abusing them are almost always shadowbans on your alts so its votes stop getting counted.

In Roman (and even medieval and early modern) cities the poor and working class ate food prepared off site because they lacked kitchen facilities, specifically for cooking. If you lived in an insula (apartment) or such, you would take your ingredients to a bakehouse to be cooked, or eat fully-prepared food from a taberna like this.

The wealthy would have kitchen facilities in their villa, and usually the middle class in their domus, and would probably usually eat at home (as might their servants and some clients) but even then they might have lunch on the street while in town transacting business.

No social media site needs to enforce restrictions on multiple accounts, the primary reason they do is to exert control over their users.

Just off the top of my head a single use case: a reddit account for posts I make for myself, vs. those I make on behalf of my employer (or more specifically in my case, my wife's business).

Then there are bot accounts, users who want to keep their interests and hobbies distinct. Users who have a income based off of activity on social media (and not just sex-workers, but also indie game designers, streamers, social media management folks, etc, etc, etc).

You might not think that you want to keep the different "personas" that you have separate on social media, but most people do, and I say this as a person who uses a single username and profile on most social media sites.

If you are in the business of designing user facing systems I really hope you take some time to learn about how folks use computer systems and user-centric design.
Interesting. A lot of Sega games have joined Game Pass recently, I wonder if that history has anything to do with it.

So it would seem the trend is very much to settle and stabilize in your 30's. I do hope we figure out even better and safer ways to allow women to give birth a little later, if they so choose.

It also seems useful to become a parent with that extra decade of life experience. And if we incentivize exercise in the later years, it could offset the "feeling tired at 70" thing? My fiancé's grandpa runs marathons and honestly has more energy than I do!

I quite liked the DC controller. Never felt the comfort issues you’ve reported on (but everyone’s hands are different).

That said, I do agree with your point about the fighting games. They’re definitely played better with arcade sticks (same is true for beat em ups on most systems though).
Playing guitar, it's a great creative outlet when I'm tired of staring at screens. I've been playing for ~15 years but I don't really consider myself a musician - I mostly play for fun and don't bother trying to learn specific songs most of the time. My favorite thing to do is put on a playlist of good music and play along to it, trying to find the key and then playing around with different scales.

There's a great YT channel of rhythm backing tracks which is great for this: https://youtu.be/lCiMlxfLjcU

Saying "thank you" expresses an infinite amount more gratitude than someone taking half a second to click a button. Please don't boil positivity down into just another dopamine fix. It's so fucking fake.

Star too, donate too, whatever you'd like to do normally too but nothing beats actually using your words
I hope this insight helps you and others because it's key:

What does an off-site sample assignment tell the company? That you can write code when given a spec. That's great, but that's insufficient for what they are hiring for.

What it doesn't tell them:

- Can you elicit clarity on a vaguely stated problem? These are conversations that top engineers have with their business counterparts and other technologists constantly.

- Can you iterate with another person on a solution. The whiteboarding exercise is a dialogue, and while contrived, problems are often solved in joint manner like that.

- How do you do under pressure? Something is going wrong and it's affecting millions of users. Can you carry your weight when the team is fire fighting?

Obviously the whiteboard isn't perfectly correlated with the above, but it's as good an indicator as I can think of. Saying "just let me write something off-line" means people are oblivious to these other key attributes. FAANG devs aren't earning 300K a year for just being able to write code on a spec.
You abandoned the article because you disputed the characterization of HTML5 development in a throw-away example that had nothing to do with the actual topic of the article just about exactly midway through it? Get out of here. You were already annoyed by the article's tendency to use the sweeping and made-to-purpose generalizations that you feel that this represents.
I'll pass on that one...yuck.
Hiring threads are a microcosm of the classic forum disease: people who actually know what they’re talking about are busy doing it for a living, while the malcontents and loudmouths have all day to complain on the internet. HN is one of the better forums when it comes to avoiding that outcome but still not perfect.
I'm not sure what's new here. TV companies and others have been beaming data through the air with lasers for at least 30 years.

When I worked in the television industry, it was how some of the TV stations in New York world get their skyline video back from their towercams in New Jersey. This was late 1990's.

It was my understanding at the time that it didn't work well in rain and fog, but that was O.K., because there was nothing to see then, anyway.
The subject is a minefield because a lot of people self-identify with it and take any criticism of the institution as an attack on them.

Based on the responses so far, consider “How much money would I need to actually commit enough time to this?”, and then share that number.

Lots of people use multiple Reddit accounts for reasons other than manipulating the karma system. Unless something has changed recently, having multiple accounts is permitted by the TOS, as is creating throwaway accounts, as long as all of the accounts abide by the TOS.

One of the main reasons for doing this is to separate posting by different subject areas. Maybe you're fine with being loose with your personal details on the local subreddit but when you're commenting on a subreddit about being an abuse survivor, you don't want those posts associated with your other account(s). It's fairly common for people on Reddit who get angry about a post to go digging through a person's posting history to find something unrelated to hurt them with or to try to discover the poster's personal identity.
Not the GP but maybe s/revenue/profit? I can see that easily, but I'm not sure how anyone could raise nearly a quarter billion dollars with less total revenue than a mid-level makes in a month at their job.

Bad things and behaviours should be called out in order to actively fix them instead of just waiting on that they are magically fixed. But this must be done in a constructive way.

Pointing that something is wrong won't fix it, and if in the meantime you manage to ruin relationships within your team you have actively made things worse just to pretend being a good leader, but just proving you are an awful person to work with (and at this point you might still be wrong about your claim on what's wrong).
