I type and paste everything into my notes.txt file. Whenever I have an idea it goes straight into there. (I wrote a short bash program + aliases so I press one key to start typing into that file, another key to paste clipboard into it, and another to check/search the notes file with "less".) Then later I go through that and move stuff from there to various LaTeX books - one main one for the current year, then specialized ones for programming languages, my programs, maths etc.

I really wish I'd started doing that 30 years earlier than I did! I kept a diary, but most of what I was thinking about and working on is just lost and forgotten. Also, being able to include pictures is so nice – like when I'm talking about someone or their work for a paragraph or more, I put their picture next to it.
True, but old hardware can run windows 10, or modern Linux just fine.

Windows and Linux (and others) seem to hold the policy of drivers for old hardware being maintained and supported seemingly indefinitely. This work isn’t free, but there’s no reason Qualcomm and Samsung and others couldn’t do the same.
Thanks! In case anyone else is interested, three of the links I just found:

Repeatedly playing a game helps one internalize and "have a feel" of when the timing is right. I agree with you - it's a terrible way to hire people, for the reasons you state, and because it unfairly favors people who have played Factorio before.

The thing about game engines is that they can only represent a simplified approximation; for example driving the "same" car model in 2 different games feels very different. Therefore game resource management and complexity are nothing like real-life. Would you want to work with a Director/Project Manager on the strength of how good they were at StarCraft 2 in an interview? After all, it's about resource management, planning and timing, right? </snark>
S3 bucket with cloudfront in front. Route 53 for DNS.

Not sure if it’s the cheapest way to do it, but it seems extremely cheap. Likewise not sure if it’s the easiest way to do it, but it seems easy now it’s set up - everything is in one place.

IIRC Cloudfront <-> S3 data transfer has quite a generous free tier.

The only thing I worry about is whether uploading objects is expensive, and invalidation. But it’s not been (noticeably) an issue so far.
Very few cars have 10 cylinders and (speculating) the end result just happens to be bimodal. Or bad data -- some scraped value is misinterpreted as indicating 10 cylinders. Three and five cylinder engines are not common either.
> Yes, each peak kilowatt of utility-scale solar produces about 240 watts average in Arizona, 140 in Maine, and 100 in Germany ("capacity factors" of 24%, 14%, and 10%). I assume the number for Alaska would be even lower.

In this US government report [1] that looks at solar energy in remote parts of Alaska the capacities of 11 systems in use in 11 villages they looked at ranged from 7.1% to 11.6%. Looks like around 9.4% average.

I don't think so. I don't think FPTP really had anything to do with the Nazi's rise to power. FPTP is worthy of criticism but not everything bad in this world is FPTP's fault, and Nazism is an evil of which FPTP is innocent.

You could argue that the specific form of proportional representation being used – the list system – was a factor. Countries which use the list system (such as Belgium, Italy and Israel) tend to be more likely to have unstable multiparty systems than countries using milder forms of proportional representation such as instant run-off or single-transferrable vote.

After WW2, West Germany moved away from the pure list system to the current hybrid system in which voters vote both for an individual candidate and a list. That change was inspired by the lessons of the early 1930s.

The shape of the electoral system was possibly a contributing factor to the Nazi's rise to power, but it was only one factor among many. Many other countries had (and still have) the same system and yet they didn't end up with someone like Hitler in charge.

Some ISPs do offer static IPs to residentials users (many of the top 10 here https://www.ispreview.co.uk/review/top10.php)

As IPv6 becomes more widely adopted, there will be no need to conserve IP addresses and everyone can be allocated a block of them.
I’m not sure on the first question but I imagine that yes, the same types of tests are conducted.

As for any to-be parents - yes and I’d recommend it. You may find you both carry a relatively rare recessive gene that would give your offspring a 25% of having a certain disorder. This can guide your decision on if you want to go forward with natural fertilization and risk it (and make the choice after testing the cells of the developing baby) or opt for IVF to prevent the disorder (and all others that are testable). In parents that don’t have infertility problems, IVF is pretty successful. Especially if the mother is still in prime form (under 35 great but under 30 is spectacular) and the father doesn’t have poor sperm count and/or quality.

For the last one I err towards it being a personal liberty to decide what life you do and do not bring into the world. But it does get more hairy when you start discussing public support in terms of resources to support the child/family. Then it is everyone’s business imo. But I’d imagine people that can afford IVF don’t rely on government programs to finance their life.
Did a search for Rocketbook and found this. Just wanted to plug it in here, not paid or anything.

I'm taking a college cryptography class, and I started by maintaining notes with LaTeX in Markdown. It didn't help much. The moment I started using a Rocketbook was when I would get things. I've reused my book about 5 times now in conjunction with work and other classes. I'm on my sixth cycle and love it!

That changes my view on the matter. Strike point 3.

I honestly don't care for the matter in this case. Both FSF and Red Hat ought to know what's best for them.
Not fully flat, no; just compressed.
Yeah it's not about "failing to understand", or "being able".
It's about having advantage if you are already familiar with similar things. It's about those few extra things that you don't have to spend a single thought on anymore, giving you more headspace to think about the problem at hand.
And it's also about feeling less stressed because you are in a rather familiar environment.

Can you really not see how such an interview would bias towards Gamers?
Same here. There's no silver bullet question, and no high pressure situation with me.

My approach has just been to have a conversation, and try to move it along naturally. What do you think of concepts? What useful STL did they add? Why did you go with this design? Ask me something.

If the person doesn't really have the level of interest required, they will run out of things to say. Like a cave left unexplored. The good candidates will go down all the caves with you, even if they don't quite know what's there.

In particular, the times I've had dud hires it was not possible to know from the standard fare of coding questions and IQ questions. When I was doing that obviously the people I hired passed. But for instance one guy really didn't want to be a programmer, he just knew how to answer the questions. He ended up stalling on his first assignment, and eventually decided to change careers. Another dud also lacked motivation, perhaps because he was asked to do something not quite in his area to begin with. He ended up not doing anything at all.

Apart from those two, dozens of others have turned out ok. I never ran into that guy who couldn't do FizzBuzz, despite not asking. I also don't think it was all that bad to let go of the duds within a quarter, they never got so ingrained in the team that we depended on them, and they could plausibly move on to another job without mentioning us on their CV.
> Don't do this if you actually rely on search engine traffic though. Google may get pissed and send you lots of angry mail like "There's a problem with your site".

Ah, but of course you would exclude Google's published crawler IPs from this restriction, because that is exactly what they want you to do.
Dunno, define "dumb". Ubiquiti APs run linux, you can get a shell, but generally the APs are pretty simple and managed by their management util, which you can run somewhere on your network. The APs don't control the router, don't write/change firewall rules, and generally just focus on reliably handling wifi duties.

So you could build yourself a router, run OpenWRT, pfsense, or whatever floats your board to control which packets go where, and which ports are visible from where. The APs do not need access to the internet, and generally anything sensitive going over the network should be encrypted anyways.

I'd consider a router I control the OS and configuration of with a ubiquiti AP (or 3) more secure than the usual router configured by some corporation or running a bunch of wifi binary blobs.
> There’s been much debate and reporting about the ethical dilemmas that arise when an enormous company like General Mills acquires an ostensibly environmentally conscious, organic brand like Annie’s, whose mission is upholding “sustainable agriculture, organic ingredients, no artificial ingredients [and] support for farmers and communities.”

This was an important point in this article for me. Trademarks (as well as copyrights) are abstractions that were arbitrarily invented (and then enforced via law) that few seem to question. This is just the way things are done.

The idea that Annie can start a brand called Annie's, following Annie's (in the traditional sense, not Annie's(r)) principles and procedures, and then sell that brand to some other organization that has nothing to do with Annie, that is still sold and marketed as "Annie's(r)", seems a little bit crazy and perhaps wrong to me.

If you remove the "(r)", putting the term "Annie's" on the box is now factually incorrect: it's not Annie doing it, and it's not Annie's. It's General Mills'. It is, in effect, a lie, even though under trademark and corporate law, everything is A-OK.

It doesn't matter that solar itself is cheap, it still needs backup plants which are the reason Germany has the highest electricity prices - world-wide.

> https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/electricity_prices/

It's really strange that users on HN keep rehashing the myth that solar and wind energy will result in lower electricity prices for consumers - they won't, never.

Even if solar and wind energy was free, consumers would still have to pay the costs for running backup and/or storage plants which lets consumers prices soar.

The problem with solar and wind is that they simply can't produce electricity on-demand which means the kWh has an actual market value and can therefore be sold with a profit.

If a solar or wind park produces huge amounts of electricity when demand is low, the result are dumping or even negative prices.

Affordable and clean electricity in populous industrial countries like Germany or the US can be provided through nuclear energy only.

While condensed matter is a very important and interesting research field, people in condensed matter are gravitating towards low-effort high-reward problems as grant committees don't seem to care about the quality of the research being done. This is especially true in my field of soft-condensed (i.e., classical) condensed matter, where questionable amounts of money and time is being spent on problems inspired by biology and engineering, where physicists have made very few legitimate contributions. On the other hand, the number of physicists working on fundamental problems in soft-condensed matter and related areas (e.g., fluid turbulence, elasticity theory, renormalization, etc.) is shockingly small.
For that matter, as long as the format is restricted to one encoding, I don't see why the unit of a changeset can't just be a byte array.

I can see why it would happen to be a codepoint, this might be ergonomic for the language, but it seems to me that, like clustering codepoints together in graphemes, clustering bytes into codepoints is something the runtime takes care of, such that a changeset will be a valid example of all three.

https://news.mit.edu/2011/energy-scale-part3-1026:

“A total of 173,000 terawatts (trillions of watts) of solar energy strikes the Earth continuously. That's more than 10,000 times the world's total energy use“

That article is from 2011, but I think it’s a very safe bet that factor is still more than 1,000 today.

Also, I would think about every solar panel you put on the ground reflects less energy into space than the ground did.

The problem is, if you own a website, it takes the same amount of resources to handle the crawl from Google and FooCrawler even if both are behaving, but I'm going to get a lot more ROI out of letting Google crawl, so I'm incentivized to block FooCrawler but not Google. In fact, the ROI from Google is so high I'm incentivized to devote extra resources just for them to crawl faster.

Price Distribution by Year -- this is an interesting one. Looks like eventually there isn't a huge variance in price. So brands with "good resale value" probably don't matter if you're keeping your car a really long time.
I admit I was very tempted to go with a proprietary AP, the TP-Link EAP660 HD for example looks amazing. However all my client devices are 2x2 and only my PC supports 802.11ax at this time, so I don't mind waiting a bit longer for possible OpenWRT support. My fiber caps at 500mbps so I'm only really missing ~100mbps over Wi-Fi, if I had gigabit service I'd probably have gone with the TP-Link.

I also strongly agree with delegating routing / wireless to different devices, having a PoE AP offers so much flexibility for positioning so you get better coverage.
Might be of interest to you: the think tank Rethinkx is forecasting wind and solar + lithium ion batteries will be cheaper than continuing to run already existing coal and gas power plants by 2030. They believe this will cause the capital invested in other types of power plants to become "stranded".

Cool video as usual.

I do have a question from the other side though: what about the concerns of "too good" products making workers losing their jobs or companies losing too much profit to operate, as mentioned in that movie?

Of course I'm not worried about Apple at all as it has find other ways to deal with it ("dynamic obsolescence" or style changes as mentioned in the video), but this does may still affect some other businesses for real.

After another thought, I guess it's really no difference from the classic "machines have made jobs obsolete" argument, but I haven't put enough critical thinking into that either.
