Half the battle is "beating requirements out of users" as I like to put it. This bullshit of trying to bait people into lying is just wasting everyone's time. I hope it leads to them ruling out a lot of really good candidates (eg, honest people who won't answer the ad because they've never heard of 'MOVA').

And before someone counters with "you should be flexible", I consider myself unfit for a position if I've never even heard of something they list on the want ad. If I found out they intentionally made up something just to trip people up, that's a big red flag for me. Who knows what other bullshit they'll try to pull once you're actually working for them.

I have just ordered 40 x 74F260 from Poland (I'm in the UK)...for less than some of the people on *bay are charging for 5.
I'd also recommend Old Fort Niagra and the US Niagra on Lake Erie/Ontario. Also read about Oliver Hazard Perry and the Battle of Lake Erie. I believe it's still the largest recorded fresh water naval battle in history and quite a great story. Also if you are visiting the Constitution in Boston I'd highly recommend the Boston Tea Party Museum and Ships. It's a slightly earlier period obviously but it was a fantastic experience IMO and walking the working ships there was great.

Like you the Age of sail and especially the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812 are interests of mine. My interest started after reading the Aubrey/Maturin series which I can't possibly recommend highly enough. I agree with you walking the decks or walls of the forts is irreplaceable if you are in to the history.
Back in the day I wrote tnat64, a simple tsocks-like wrapper to redirect IPv4-only applications to a NAT64 gateway. It even worked with Skype to a degree: it'd log in and then repeatedly reconnect every minute or so.
Very nice work and much easier than trawling through the repository.

Some ignorant and probably cliched musing: when I look at small utilities like these I am always struck by a seeming distinction between best practices for little C programs versus best practices for large C applications (the author of the post touches on this ad well).

In particular, the explicit flow (including goto) and “pedantic” style is actually quite appropriate for something < 1000 lines and where the expected behavior is extremely well understood. In cases like pwd, mkdir, etc, trying to abstract too much is arguably a mistake for maintainability and understanding.

I say all this as an immutable functional-first dev who hasn’t done much native code :) And I think the various type-safe / memory-safe / etc versions of these tools are worth developing. But there’s something to be said about well-optimized native code that clearly “does what it says on the box” in a way that’s accessible to anyone who understands basic Linux programming - even if they can only contextually read C code.

(My only real gripe is typographic / linting related, mostly due to being a whippersnapper).
Rather than wait for applications, some companies will hire third party recruiters to find candidates to apply. Some will have in-house recruiters doing the same. If they find a successful candidate, they're paid with commission. Sometimes, being contacted by one is the only way to apply.

Mastering on Vinyl is almost always less compressed, and sounds more natural due to natural limitations of the medium. This sounds especially better (IMO) when you turn up the volume.

Of course, it's entirely possible to master like that on CD, MP3, etc but nobody does it.

If you are an introvert traveling, I strongly recommend lots of reading. Bring a nice camp chair (I have tried several, my current favorite is the Helinox Sunset with rockers and a small camp-stool-turned-ottoman) and sit in the shady spots in parks. Find the best library reading rooms, museums, etc. and just read. Draw if you’re into that.

Negotiate this time with your extroverted traveling partners if necessary.

A Million Dollar Smile Tips for Healthy Teeth
Achieving healthy teeth takes a lifetime of care. Even if you’ve been told that you have nice teeth, it’s crucial to take the right steps every day to take care of them and prevent problems. This involves getting the right oral care products, as well as being mindful of your daily habits.

Fortunately, there are a few simple ways to keep teeth strong and healthy from childhood to old age. Here’s how:
How bullish Bitcoin was over the past 11 years?
Agreed. The concrete producers inject it into their concrete, which is widely thought to be one of the most permanent forms of CO2 storage in existence. We will only work with end users that are using the CO2 in a way that permanently takes it out of circulation. Medium term, this will probably mean that we sequester a lot of our captured CO2 in depleted oil wells or saline aquifers. Long term, we're actually hoping to turn the CO2 back into fuel right at the truck stop, so we can put it back into the trucks for a circular solution.
"He saw first hand that these trucks have far less payload capacity and range, plus the batteries lose > 40% of their range in cold weather [2]."

I think you are referring to only electrical trucks; Hydrogen still carries on load and doesn't have the same operational cold weather challenges.
Even one month - two months is a long time for any non-esoteric language except maybe C++ (even that one I doubt) for any developer with experience picking up multiple languages. Most teams are actively working on making their ecosystems easy to pick up for beginners.

There is an Intellij official plugin for Rust.

I think this hides/hints at a greater point, though. C# or Java is a technology choice (among many, such as which ORM to use or even whether to use an ORM at all). All technology choices have an impact, and, in my experience working with both of these and other languages, it's just as likely for two shops that chose the same programming language to have made enough other different technology choices to make the transition challenging.
No they just wrote it down. These are not experimental papers.

A smallest possible scale experiment would the logical follow up, unless some GR expert shoots holes in the models on paper first.

Edit: ftl is not the experiment in question. Simply demonstrating some minuscule effect due to manipulated spacetime curvature would Be quite enough! (Enough to be a huge deal, even if it’s not even useful practically, for the foreseeable future)
Did you and your accountant review the shareholders' agreement thoroughly before finalising the fundraising with the new investors?
This is similar to a previous HN thread [1] about a post about paper called the "information theory of individuality" [2] that talked about life as the ability to "cohere information forward in time."

There is another related idea I stumbled on called the "constructal law," [3] which seems related.

Where I think they are related to the question of what life can be defined as is that you could express this constructal force in terms of that information theory idea by summarizing it with a slight extension - as a bounded system is living based on its ability to dynamically cohere information forward in time. The limits of this constructal theory will be defined in using information theory terms.

When we discover stuff in the universe and ask, "is/was this life?" there might be some criteria in these ideas in terms of asking, does this thing take feedback from its environment and produce coherent information? Or, is this thing a source of neg-entropy in its environment? If we look at life as a temporary, dynamic whorl of neg-entropy, it might yield some useful criteria. Half-baked, but measuring information-in, information-out could tell us whether something other than classical physics is processing it. It suggests we could figure out whether something was created by life as well, since the internet is not "alive," but it is evidence of life. Sorting things based on whether it is evidence of life, seems testable.

(Live Event) Building Distributed Engineering Process That Delivers Results
Well, I suppose I have to directly contradict myself by saying we moved down to the South for the past couple months to escape the winter, and it's been glorious.

The biggest barrier is my partner's job not being very remote-friendly, so outside of pandemic times, long stretches of digital nomad-ism are probably not realistic for us as a unit. I'm also not sure what traveling as a pair, or as a family, would be like -- I imagine one person's paradise could easily be another person's nightmare.

I also got the impression that it's easier to live the "traveler's" lifestyle when you're younger, in that you've got more folks amenable to meeting you, hanging out, having more free time. That may have changed with increasing digital infrastructure, but things like hostels and couch surfing I found to be very geared towards a younger clientele (even as a mid-20s fellow, I sometimes felt too old!)

That all said, if you're in a place where you can do it, I think you should! 4-6 months is not that long and if you're in a position where you can try it, the worst that happens is you can say you tried it and didn't like it.
It doesn't matter what % of your company you own. What matters is whether or not you control a majority of the board seats.

Caches in web architectures seem to be similar to NUMA style addressing and makes me think that cache invalidations in web should have failovers to an L2 or L3 if the L1 is gone differentiating between an expected invalidation or an unexpected invalidation (Redis down, let’s say). Sometimes in an emergency (security incident, let’s say) all cache items should be invalidated though resulting in said 500 or temporarily unavailable response while the cache is repopulated again and that’s something else that Djikstra would shake his fist angrily at from beyond the grave just the same.
This is a crucial question! To our surprise, our beta testing of our prototype has actually shown that this is creating < 0.5 psi back pressure on the engine (negligible) and we believe we can get it down to essentially 0 by the time we deliver our first units to customers this summer.
Surely short selling is more relevant, but the ‘weighing’ machine is basically irrelevant compared to speculation. For instance, what companies paid the most dividends over the last 20 years? Are those the companies with the highest valuations over that time? How long of a time horizon do you need to show cash flow value from an investment versus speculative gains? I’m going to pull out my crystal ball and predict that today’s biggest companies in market cap will have below-average dividend performance for the next 20 years compared to the rest of the S&P.

It's actually funny which name for countries ends up getting borrowed. The Finnish word for Finland is Suomi. The Swedish word for Finland is Finland. Ironically, the Swedish word for Sweden is Sverige, but at least you can see the Sw/Sv commonality.
Here's a summary from 2004:

https://nymag.com/nymetro/news/media/features/9226/

"During the winter of 2001 and throughout 2002, Miller produced a series of stunning stories about Saddam Hussein’s ambition and capacity to produce weapons of mass destruction, based largely on information provided by Chalabi and his allies—almost all of which have turned out to be stunningly inaccurate."

In short, the Pentagon found a credulous NYT reporter and hooked her up with a succession of fictitious sources, which she ate up and asked for seconds. The NYT repeatedly ran stories on page 1 that were complete fiction, and played a material part in hyping the war under false pretenses (which the paper itself, in its backhanded way, has acknowledged). NYT editors also fought internally AGAINST running any stories that were skeptical of the war or of the administration's statements about Iraq.
The problem isn't can I learn, the problem is do you want to wait. You need a few great developers who have a lot of experience to ensure that a mess that is hard to clean up isn't main. If you have a 10 great developers who know how to do whatever right, then 100 other great developers who no nothing about the whatever can learn. However without those 10 experts in the domain to start with nobody knows what the right decisions are in the first place - in 3 years they will realize their mistakes but by then it is too hard to fix them.
All fine until he cited the Proxima Centauri problem.
He cites 50,000 years to reach it with conventional rocket tech.
But this nearest star is only about 4.2 lightyears away, so there's no need for exotic warp-drives. Conventional 1/5 (20%) lightspeed rockets could do it also in a lifetime, i.e. in 25 years.

Soliton stuff is entirely unpractical, conventional tiny rockets are in our reach.
One of the examples on invalidating cache on write has the following code, which is buggy. If the DB call fails, then cache cache would have data that was never actually committed. Cache coherency is hard.

In your test you say captures "at least 80% of its carbon emission"; in the video it is "70 to 80% in ideal conditions"...

So, in the end, how much is captured on average ?

And once it is captured, in which conditions does it stay captured ? for how long ?

It wasn’t “challenged” by that scientist, the scientist provided additional information about the newer state of the art.

More to the point, if you are enough of a grown up to critically analyze the validity of an article and won’t be satisfied until you get something peer reviewed, then you are enough of a grownup to do your own research. Again the science and high accuracy of radioactive dating is very well-established. Generally the only people who disagree with it are cranks who believe Adam and Eve happened 10,000 years ago.

What is the purpose of your comment other than being an obnoxious troll?
What's the nation-wide demand for CO2 for concrete? Is it high enough that they can continue to be your CO2 consumer if you add this to, say, 10% of trucks?
Yes, that's exactly the proposal!
> CDs added additional frequencies into the high range, which people thought sounded crisp and new, but it never had the warmth of cassettes and vinyl.

Sure, there is an audible difference between digital audio and vintage analog equipment — but it has nothing to do with quality problems in digital audio. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite: vinyl and cassettes deliver low-quality, heavily distorted audio (with a dynamic range equivalent to that of 5 or 6 bit digital audio). This does create a distinctive “warm” tone, and a lot of people really like the sound (or the nostalgia) created by this distortion.

The article you linked does not demonstrate quality problems with digital audio; it is a bunch of nonsense intended to sell a product.

First of all, it compares a “digital square wave” with an “analog sine wave”, and remarks that “the digital signal does not follow the smooth flow of its analog compliment.” Of course they look different, they’re not the same wave! A square wave is “supposed” to look blocky, it’s not a digital vs. analog thing.

At least it mentions the Shannon-Nyquist theorem and gets one thing right: “there is no difference whatsoever between an analog sine wave and a digital one”

But then it totally blows it again with its comparison of a “digital” square wave to a “natural” one, observing that the “natural” square wave is more curved.

Again, this is nonsense because you’re not comparing the same wave! The “digital” image is of an ideal, mathematically pure square wave, whereas the “natural” image is bandlimited. The first mathematically pure wave cannot exist in the real world, because it would require infinite bandwidth — the voltage would have to change instantly.

In fact, a digital signal is bandlimited; it’s just a bad illustration. The digital square wave, when converted to analog, will not include any frequencies above half the sampling rate, making it match whatever our bandlimited analog signal is supposed to look like.

Then the article goes into full-on snake oil mode, trying to convince you that “technology that resolves that problem, by creating infinite phase, is currently available” if only you buy their “Sensorium™ LSV III Function Generators and Altitudinal Oscillators [that] utilize a polynomial transition region algorithm”. This is very much nonsense; by the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, you can reproduce a bandlimited waveform exactly from a sampled signal, no matter how “complex” your waveform is.

For a more detailed overview about how and why digital audio works, I recommend this video: https://xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml

>async drop has been revisited multiple times recently with no luck

The key word is "recently", meaning "after the stabilization". It's exactly my point: this problem was not sufficiently explored in my opinion prior stabilization. I would've been fine with a well argued position "async Drop is impossible without breaking language changes, so we will not care about it", but now we try to shoehorn async Drop on top of the stabilized feature.

>Async drop would still not address the single-allocation-per-state-machine advantage of the current design that you’ve mostly not engaged with in this thread.

House prices going up, rents going down. It's obvious and everyone knows about it. It's not shocking that it's unprecedented, because, well, what IS precedented when the first global pandemic in the modern era hit?

Businesses want and will pay for management-engine features. It's more profitable to have them, therefore it is more expensive (in an opportunity cost sense) not to have them, even if you personally do not want them.

You're right that it is all about economies of scale. Economies of scale say that it doesn't make sense to tape out a whole separate die just for non-business consumers. They just don't sell that many units that it's worth it. It's cheaper to make one die for everyone and then sell one die with AMT turned off, even if it involves wasting a small amount of silicon for each chip produced.

Incidentally, this is why (apart from a few noxious exceptions like ECC) consumers are generally the beneficiaries of market segmentation. Businesses will pay a lot more, locking these features behind higher-priced models lets the consumer models be cheaper. Without market segmentation, the outcome isn't that you get a Xeon at the price of a Pentium, it's that you get a Xeon at the cost of a Xeon.
Strategic ways to use support ticket insights
I have a lighter version of this: on your deathbed you'll regret the roads not taken.

If you spend your life as a family person, you might regret not making an impact on the community/the world. If you spend your life chasing impact, you might regret not enjoying family life. If you spend your life chasing money, you might regret either. Etc.

Either way, you'll regret something, so it's not a good source of insights for those who are still alive.

Exactly. We still need to do more dyno testing to get an exact figure, but we think the impact to fuel efficiency will be < 3%. We'll capture those extra carbon emissions, and we'll more than pay for the extra fuel cost by sharing the revenue from selling the carbon dioxide.
