DRY. Why change the time of literally billions of events when you can just change the time basis and do all of them at the same time?
Interesting. I wonder what the complexity cost in the runtime and C FFI limitations arising from it are in Crystal - these seem to be the main reason most languages don't do it (weighed against the benefit over normal OS threads which are also pretty lightweight).

edit: there seem to be some clues about FFI effects in this case of the PG connection library: https://forum.crystal-lang.org/t/issue-with-crashes-hangs-wi...

Blockchain is actually pretty useful in the art world when it comes to provenance. That is, tracking the ownership chain of the work.

This is much more interesting than the financial hype stories, to me.

Forgeries have been a thing yes. And many were so good that they fooled (and continue to fool) some of the foremost experts on particular types of art/artists, for years and years. And then an advance in a technique may mean the forgery is unmasked many years later.

For a moment, let's leave aside digital art (NFT's have a role there). There is no way at all that an NFT can be reasonably "tethered" to a specific physical object in order to prove its authenticity. None as far as I understand it.

Therefore, what's to stop me from creating a forgery a decade later (say for some art that's disappeared into a private collection), and claiming that the NFT relates to that? How does the NFT prove anything at all other than at a point in time, the actual artist used a digital signature to sign a ... a what? How do you create a digital representation of a physical object that you can tie to a specific object? It's not the signing that does it. And if we knew the answer, we wouldn't need NFT's in the first place.

Let's say that the thing that the NFT signs, is a document of the provenance of the physical art. So? Experts get it wrong and provenance can be faked. The best thing that we've got that authenticates the physical art is the analysis and expertise that goes into its assessment - even though those assessments are occasionally wrong. They can in future be corrected. What does an NFT add to this?

I interviewed multiple times for different positions at G two years ago. Two on-sites in six months.
I was thinking through something recently. Here's where I think things are going:

- I suspect that air platforms will be littered with censors and massive amounts of data will be collected.

- This data will be used to train AI to complete missions.

- The USAF will start by augmenting human-led teams with AI flown aircraft.

- Polyglot teams consisting of platforms with different roles in the same mission.

All of this has led me to believe that the countries that engage in the most air missions (most combat active air force) could ultimately have AI models orders of magnitude better than other countries.

It would be great to hear someone who knows more than me (not hard) interrogate this idea. I've been captured by it and I'm meandering down the road of possibilities that start there.

The touchbar as a more complex, expensive and easy to break part is such a poor design choice. Though so is the rest of the butterfly keyboard. It shouldn’t cost so much to replace such a simple part that is directly used everyday.

This is also why I dread having to get a new car with all the fancy electronics, they might be cool and useful now but apart from touchscreens being inferior to handle without looking on them (something I prefer to avoid while driving), that’s one thing that will both break and in general be worse than my phone, probably already when it comes out and by the next generation at the latest. (Quite ironically Bluetooth as the interface to my car was the first thing that broke and would cost EUR 900 to replace, which makes me happy I didn’t take the navigation)

I wish I could just pay a premium for longer lasting design. It also shows how silly it is when companies say they want to be net zero on emissions, then produce something that could easily work well for almost a decade were it not for some ridiculously expensive part breaking.
True. More surface area.
Lazarus and Delphi have the most intuitive UI builders of all the tools I have every tried.
Lazarus components can be anchored relative to the parent and to each other.
Latest Delphi has various layout panels - stack, relative, grid.
Both tools feel fast and responsive (even on older hardware) which is something that I haven't experienced with any .NET or Java tool I had to use.
Both tools have been around for a long time and haven't changed or abandoned underlying technology every few years so projects built 10 years ago can still be used with latest versions, sometimes just recompiling is enough.

We can hear our thoughts and we can remember having "heard" them. I think that is consciousness. It is sensory perception of some of our brain-processes, interpreted by our brain, just like brain can categorize seeing blue as just that.
People do pay a premium for older houses in the US, but only when they are located in a desirable location, which they often are.

>The quality of results is obviously irrelevant to the fact that most searches do not result in clicks.

Disagree. It's completely relevant. There are two reasons why people do not click on search results - either because they got the answer directly from the rich snippets (like you suggest), or because the results are so trash that you need to now perform another search to narrow the results further.
So I will give you my perspective as a hiring manager and as someone who has interviewed quite a few times in my career.

I personally encourage friends, especially those that have been at their job for 5+ years to go to interviews for roles they might find interesting, even if they have no plan of leaving their current role. I have been in the industry long enough to see companies cut ties with employees that have been with them for many years. If they are lucky it is not during a mass firing round, but if they are unlucky it is the result of a large firing round or worse yet a recession of some type. Job hunting and interviewing are at the end of the day a type of competition and if you want to be good at it you need to make sure you have practiced. The benefit of this, is if you make a point of going to interviews where you are still curious about the role, you may actually find your an unexpectedly amazing job and you also are more likely to get a much better offer than you ever would when you are actively looking.

Now when I am a hiring manager, I have zero issue if someone comes with the intent of it being a practice interview. Why? Well, my job as a hiring manager is to win over the candidate to the role I am hiring for. It starts with the one on one, to the exercise I give and to the overall process being a nice experience. If I do those things correctly and the candidate is good, then it usually doesn’t matter what their original motive was for interviewing, they walk out of the process saying I want to work with that person and I want that job. I think a lot of companies don’t understand that the candidates are choosing you as much as you are choosing them. At least that is the way it should be.
No it is not. Just because it worked out for you doesn't mean it worked out for all of us. I still have PTSD from my 12th standard days... all that mindless cramming physics and chemistry just so I could go to a good college and study CS. Me and my peers were actively discouraged to take a harder subject like economics or CS as the 5th subject so we could focus on Physics,chen and maths.

We went to school then tuitions in the evening and whole days of coaching on the weekend. That didnt leave much time to play around, acquire new skills and hobbies and when we tried our parents and teachers were not exactly supportive of it because we could spend that additional time on cramming more.

Just using a stupid test as a benchmark to get into a country's most prestigious colleges without taking into account if the student even has a passion for the subject is an absolutely broken system.
I agree. In this context “bad at safety” basically means less than perfect.
I feel like that’s where the control key needs to be, I use that way more than escape, especially in combination with other keys and so it’s best when I can reach it easily.
The idea of a competent super government encompassing 700 million people is a fantasy. Instead, as the EU heads toward more integration you’ll see more of the debilitating infighting that makes the US government so dysfunctional. Once Germany and France start chipping into the common tax base, your politics will become preoccupied with telling Poland it has to have abortion or something similar. When you’re subsidizing someone else you feel entitled to tell them how to live.

You're pretty clearly being a bad actor here.

Links to videos on their site that you need to log in to view? Totally no problem and they'd be unreasonable to complain.

Deriving direct links to private content to make it accessible to the general public? Doesn't matter if their content has the security of a wet cardboard box, you should not be doing this.

I think they should probably be fixing deep linking to the content working for unregistered users instead of threatening you with legal action, but that doesn't make what you're doing OK.
A Tesla cannot make a left turn (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26542462), which most 16 year olds and 85 years drivers manage while either inebriated or not fully in control of their faculties. However we fully expect F-16 which take years of training of highly fit specimens of the human race to fly to be controlled by an AI.

I somehow don't see it happening in the next two decades or atleast a decade after we have L-5 driving.

What's your analytical process like? Do you take a moment to sit back and just think? Don't dive directly into the code.

My most successful candidates spend five to ten minutes thinking about my problem and talking themselves through it before writing any real code. They'll sometimes take notes with class diagrams or ASCII diagrams.

A digital trading card of the tweet was sold. He could have made 100 cards, but he made 1.

What we're witnessing is simply normal human behavior. We take care of our tribe before helping anyone else. AZ is HQ'd in England IIRC and Pfizer, Moderna are US-based companies. Of course the governments are going to 'negotiate' to have their needs met before allowing exports. If the tables were turned the EU would do the same (as I would expect them to.)

> It would be hard for individual countries to do any worse.

It would be pretty easy for any individual countries that don't actually produce vaccines to do worse.

Just look at Canada, for instance. It's a rich country that hoarded vaccine pre-orders (Enough to vaccinate its population three times over), and what was the result? A lower vaccination rate than the EU. That's because Canada does not control any part of the R&D or manufacturing process, so its orders got pushed to the back of the line. And neither do most of the countries in the EU.

What makes you think Slovakia or Greece, or Italy are going to be any better off? What makes you think that if vaccine procurement were up to each individual country, that any of those countries would see a single dose before, say, Belgium reached 100% vaccination?

Security deposits are legally the tenants funds held in escrow by the landlord until the end of the lease. They tend to be heavily regulated in tenant law, with stipulations on how large they can be, what can be deducted from the security deposit upon lease termination, how long after lease termination the landlord has to return the remainder of the deposit, whether they have to be held in an actual escrow account[1], etc.

Prepaid rent is just that - it's rent for some future period that the landlord is just receiving early, so doesn't come with all the legal strings attached[2]. The landlord recognizes the income when they receive it and it becomes their money to do what they want with at that point.

The nuance goes beyond just semantics, too. If a tenant files for bankruptcy, the security deposit the landlord is holding in escrow is considered an asset of the tenant's estate. Whereas prepaid rent is not, unless the contract was executed super recently and the judge determines it unfairly harmed other creditors and wants to claw it back.

[1] https://www.lawyers.com/legal-info/taxation/property-tax/adv...

[2] I'm sure this isn't a universal truth - in the US alone, tenant law tends to be an overlaid mishmash of federal, state, and local regulations. So I'm sure some places attach strings to it. But many if not most places do not.

>"How can you ask me to donate money when Baker's making six figures?" It came up constantly during Mozilla's layoffs last year.

The donations are for the foundation, the corporation makes a lot of money off their search engine deal. People often bring these things up as they sound bad, so if you're going to to repeat it add the necessary context and avoid the simple misunderstandings.

>could we set up an ombuds/ethics committee/advisory board to prevent Mozilla from doing this

They have a board that picks the corporation's CEO and sets their salary. I doubt you want the monetary sources to control this board, as that would give Google almost total control.

I understand some people do need all these ports, but in my experience (and opinion) an XPS is worse in every other metric.

The trackpad is terrible, the sound is terrible, the screen is worse, the webcam is not as good. I cannot use windows so I have to use Linux, which brings a good bunch of its problems such as external screen with different resolutions, having to setup scaling for many applications individually, and always being the last guy to join meetings because every day I have a different problems switching to my usb headset, etc. I ended up going back to a macbook pro. The XPS hardware might look as good in the specs, but it won't last for more than 2 years, it crackles everywhere and the paint (in the trackpad, for example) wears off pretty easily if you use it every day.

So, yes, I'd love macbooks to have more ports, but by no metric that problem alone would lead me to prefer it over an XPS.

Just my preference/experience anyway.

Good question. It seems I lack speed implementing an optimal solution. During my initial FAANG interviews, I have had gone totally blank on my thought process and code. After few interviews, I don't actually dive in coding. I spend at least 10minutes about the problem and explain how it can be solved. I have realized that the interviewer is not looking an optimal solution at first. However, they're not satisfied with till the optimal code solution actually works.

How is it the "market restricting access" if the rents went up because of the eviction moratorium? If that's the reason, then what you said is true in a trivial literal sense, but that's blaming the consequence (market pricing) instead of the real cause (government policy).

Likewise, if housing supply is restricted due to regulations, that's not the "market failing" - that's government policy guaranteeing that rents will be high for poor people.

The only way to make rents cheaper for all poor people is to incentivize massive construction of new apartments, or at least clear all regulatory hurdles to doing so and simply let the market do the rest for you. Flood the market with supply. The more supply, the cheaper rents will be, since demand is mostly stable.
I think getting into the numbers is the right idea. I wouldn't know where to look for the $$ volumes of issues/IPOS vs eg dividends or stock trades, if someone does please chime in :)

My gut feeling is that despite being common, issuing stock is still peanuts compared to the old stock trades/dividends.
