Your fear is well-founded, that's already what is happening. Boston Public Schools, for example, just suspended placements in AP courses for all students out of equity concerns.

It turns out it's much easier to achieve equity by pushing people down (no more AP courses for anyone) than by lifting people up (getting more black and latino students into AP courses).

You should stop assuming that idiots stirring up shit over a non-gendered term that has been in use for well over sixty years have any sort of legitimate opinion. “Where I am guys is considered negative“ is puerile bullshit and you have been suckered. Quit lending them your support.
My peer group is probably a bit younger, and they/I are all renting or are relatively new homeowners. The "sticker price" on houses matters to my group a lot, as does monthly rent.

I'd love to find a FRED-like data source for median rental rates over time and/or an index thereof. I suspect that rents are generally correlated with sale prices on a multi-year time scale.
On (2): implicit type promotions with unsigned and signed types can make it no-so-easy in C. FWIW, I always test with bytes with the sign bit on (on two's complement architectures, never worked with others) when I do stuff like that.

On (3): never perform equality tests on FP numbers in languages that use IEEE standard FP format.

On (4): I have worked both with ASCIIZ and counted strings, I think both have their pros and cons. But if you are writing stuff that has any contact with C/C++, it's often a bad idea to go against the stream. No, auto-adding a final 0 to your counted strings won't save the day every time.
The first effect of the margin narrowing would be lower meat production, which would exactly coincide with higher prices for meat.

My Job Hunt Story
If the regulatory bodies have a list of people actively breaking the law, and the public knows that, it would require them to make a decision “do we do anything about this or not”

Based on the lack of any real regulatory action under GDPR, I’m guessing regulators would prefer not knowing who’s breaking the law since they aren’t actively enforcing GDPR (for better or worse).
I literally shuddered when I read "Perl NOC". It was like the ghost of a neckbearded BOFH breathed down my neck... On a serious note, I absolutely adore the simplicity of their blog (https://log.perl.org/)

I used to take public transportation that took 2 hours each way to get to my job. Then I bought my first car for $500. It was such great freedom.

Then, years later, I moved to the city and was able to get rid of my car. It was great freedom.

Then, years later, I got married and had a child. We bought and owned two cars. It was great freedom.
Which is something that CUDA provided since the very beginning. (with PTX)
No, the Perl.com website is managed by David Farrell. The domain is owned by Tom Christainsen. The Perl Foundation is not involved with the operation of either.
I had no money and no resources as a child. I lived in a family of 8. We went clothes shopping once a year. Being one of the youngest, I just got hand-me-downs mostly. The first time I got a new sweater I was 14.

We had 3 books in the house growing up, all gifts from our 'city cousins' at Christmas. We had no TV until Dad brought one home from the TV repair shop - a 10-inch black and white deal. It smoked and dripped plastic on the floor first time we turned it on. Dad took it back and they gave us another one, which actually worked sort of. We did not live on a bus route, have any parks to play in, or any public library.

Were we poor? I suppose we might think so today. But all our neighbors were in about the same situation. We were happy, and didn't consider ourselves deprived in any way.

What made us content? We lived on a farm. There was always meat in the freezer and food on the table. We had the entire outdoors to play in including an ancient barn, a shop with tools and a workbench. Chickens and pigs and calves and cats and kittens. Tree swings and trees I could climb so high, I could see clear to the horizon. Creeks with frogs and fish and tadpoles.

I see folks living in cement boxes in crowded towns, kids who's entire life is the sidewalk and the mall. Parents working so hard you never see them. People next door so isolated you can't really call them neighbors.

When I grew up and went to college (full student loans, qualified for everything they had) and got a job in town and got married, I told my wife we had to raise the kids outside of town. Out of all that cement and worry. And we did.

We gave them a shop and motorized vehicles to maintain (mower, tractor, carts, bikes). Gardens to tend and cats to feed. Neighbors to visit and chores to do.

It was different from my growing up. They had hundreds of books and an unlimited budget for new ones. They had good schools and involved parents. But it also had the advantages I had. They could run heedless through the wide boundaries we set. They could spend a summer day on projects or books or Scouts or building something. Or just wander the creek and collect tadpoles.

I worry most of us are confused about what's important, and spend so much time pursuing somebody else's goals we forget to have any of our own.

Launch HN: Fable (YC W21) - Spec as the Source of Truth
Hi HN!

We're Aravindh and Alex of Fable. We're excited to launch the Fable Google Docs Add On on Hacker News (https://www.tryfable.com/docs-add-on).

I've been a product manager at large companies and startups, and at every single place there was always confusion around what the source of truth was. Is it the Google Docs spec? Is it the Jira ticket? What about that one decision we made in the hallway?

We're building Fable to help solve for this. We're starting off with an add on for Google Docs that syncs with Jira. PMs can tap a button to turn user stories in Docs into Jira tickets. If changes are made to the Jira tickets, we'll pull that back into the spec as well.

In terms of what's next - we're building a web app that provides a richer experience to create specs (embedding user data, richer user stories, etc) and a quick way to capture & communicate all the decisions that are made while you're building the spec.

Would love to hear your feedback in the comments - looking forward to the discussion!
> Sorry, should have clarified "government bonds" here.

Sure, no problem. But what about when the government does bad things and gets sued? At least something to think about.

I think some of the things you're discussing here are still fundamental government enforcement issues. You can create a "proper oversight" index but that doesn't shield individual investors. Facebook would have been part of that, for example, but now things have changed and the company could be open to liability for damages. I think the main issue here is there is too much risk for individual investors - they can't be experts in every stock or research every company - or get out if they start to see a pattern of fraud. So the only people who will own companies will be wealthy individuals and institutions that can fight lawsuits.

I also don't think this solves the concentration of wealth to the top companies. You can be a small, highly ethical company but not be able to raise capital in the public markets because investors are too risk adverse.

In my view, I think if you believe that there is a lack of oversight and a financial incentive to default, then you need to go back and look at how the government enforces rules that already exist before blowing up the entire capital markets for regular people. They seem to work pretty well, overall. Government bonds pay nothing now - if every investor had to exit the market (me and you) we'd just be stuck with useless dollars and no means to deploy them.

If you haven't read it, Fooling Some of the People All of the Time is a great, but also depressing read into this.
Depends what you mean by "regular expression," but matching in perl regexps is NP-Hard.

Very fun. AIM was a huge part of my high school existence.

I was absent from AIM for several years, but then my first job out of school (2009) used it as the official chat service. Eventually the corporate overlords brought in a series of other sanctioned chat tools, but most of us kept AIM going to have a backchannel we knew wasn't monitored.

Materialize | Engineering, Product, Marketing | NYC HQ + North America Remote + Europe Remote | https://materialize.com/careers

Materialize is a streaming database for real-time applications. Materialize lets you ask questions about your data, and then get low-latency, correct answers, which are kept incrementally updated as the underlying data changes.
Materialize is built on Timely Dataflow, a low-latency cyclic dataflow computational model, first introduced in the paper "Naiad: a timely dataflow system".

Materialize is co-founded by Frank McSherry, the primary author of Timely Dataflow (http://timelydataflow.com) and Differential Dataflow (http://differentialdataflow.com), the two open source projects that power Materialize. Materialize itself is source-available and entirely written in Rust: https://github.com/MaterializeInc/materialize

Materialize is a team of around thirty, primarily based in New York City but also open to remote positions in the EU and NA. We are hiring in all engineering positions (eng. manager, engineers from new grad to principal) as well as several non-engineering positions - for the full list, see https://materialize.com/careers

We are a team of significantly experienced individuals in databases and distributed systems, and looking to add more folks with that interest and/or experience to our team. Materialize recently raised a $32m Series B led by Kleiner Perkins, which was lovingly hacker newsed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25277511
It does if taken in the context of all the wrong ones being taken as a bayesian prior, and that strategy will have predictive value.
My guess would be that they haven't outsourced it because it would've been more difficult to go through the acquisition process than to simply an in house dev to build an upload form and do manual verification on the uploaded documents.

If that is the case, then I'd be less worried about Little League selling children's personal data, and more concerned that it's all sitting unencrypted in an S3 bucket.
How to Think Like a Genius, According to Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman
It's interesting how you have such strong opinions about JS developers when you're not even familiar with the most popular tools that are available today... I always find it weird how people are like that.

Especially mentioning JS and then saying immutability is a problem... Immutability is a core concept in React, so you couldn't be more wrong honestly.
> If you build too big, your launch rate isn’t high enough to get the full advantage of reuse.

But if you throw away second stages, your rate of reuse goes waaay down.

I don't think an 8-ton lift vehicle is going to achieve second stage reuse.
People were onto the scheme when it debuted, but despite the protestation, it was too good to pass up, do people took ‘advantage’ of it.

ambient capabilities will be a whole lot nicer once more userspace stuff (like the pam caps stuff) supports them better.

The idea for them comes from one of my former coworkers, Christoph Lameter, when we were having issues with an app that needed CAP_NET_RAW for tcp sockets that we didn't want to be setuid root. Small world :)
Maybe someone already asked(but the comments are huge). Is there anyway to also trim down the JSON file? Either on disk, or when it is fetched from remote? If you don't care about transactions then you could remove it completely.

> I had a stack of Mac Minis years ago that I used for various things. One update bricked half of them.

That happened to a former manager of mine when he pushed out an update (might have been High Sierra?). 30 signage machines got sent to surplus as a result, including some that were mounted in some incredibly inconvenient places (which I got to retrieve, of course).
I find it kind of ironic that Taibbi undermines his entire argument that he's holding to standards despite not being at a reputable news organisation by making a douchey jibe about his subject's job in the first sentence.

>The answer connects to one of the primary reasons audiences are moving to places like Substack: the perception that traditional news outlets have become tools of the very corporate and political interests they’re supposed to be overseeing.

Ah, the Ted Cruz defense - people think this thing, so let's pretend it's true. Nevermind the fact the only reason they think it's true is because I told them it's true.

I think at the end of the day, Taibbi is making a rather unconvincing argument that you can write a slanted, cherry picked article to back your own political bent and that's still objective journalism because the cherry picked facts are wrong. Which just seems like an absurd failure to get to grips with a world in which climate change is a debate and people spent decades dying of cancer because of manufactured "objective facts" about smoking.
IANAL but I would expect "commercially reasonable changes" to mean like, rearranging buttons in Gmail, or adding features to Google Calendar. Not core product changes.

> ... doesn't mean will get N^2 behavior, unless you do silly things with sscanf, like extract a small token from the beginning of a large string, and then skip past it to do the same thing again after that small token: essentially, build a lexical analyzer in which the pattern matcher consists of calls to scanf. This is not an intended use case for sscanf.

Then why does it support the "%n" specifier? Isn't it exactly for that use case?
If you think about a supply/demand curve, picking one set of prices will always be suboptimal (and leaving surplus on the table), ideally you’d want to charge different prices to different groups of people to maximize your surplus. So if you think about pricing as a dynamic continuum, you can’t easily “turn it off”.

Hi there and thanks for the message! We migrated from TensorFlow to PyTorch and I think the website didn't get the memo. The job listing there should be up to date now. :)
This is standard in EVs(and most plug-in hybrids).

My 17 Volt has a 175 amp DC-DC converter that charges the 12v battery from the traction battery. It's interesting that this converter is cooled via the same liquid cooling loop that cools the traction battery.

I have a 4kw inverter connected to it and have used it several times to power large loads for several days in my home during power outages, including refrigerators, lights, TV/Computers, vacuum cleaners, and also the furnace(as the guy in the article has).

I have been doing this since I bought the car in 2018 and the only ill effects are when I forget to turn it off(when the vehicle is off) and it drains the 12v battery. I've done this (drained the 12v battery accidentally) about 20 times so far and it has not noticeably impacted the 12v battery.

I also would not expect any warranty support for this charging system and battery as I am clearly using it outside its intended purpose.
