Thanks! Interestingly, that page doesn't define the terms either, but your cheat sheet helped me understand it.

I might suggest giving short definitions whenever possibly unfamiliar terms like these are used.
I definitely could have used some indoor navigation when trying to find stuff underground in Japan, like looking for T's TanTan in Tokyo Station (amazing ramen, try it if you get the chance).

Took me a while to figure out it's actually behind the ticket booth, and that you can only access it if you're taking a train (or have bought a ticket just for ramen).
Very well said. I am actually more productive working from home. I think asking everyone to work at the office again is just a decision by extrovert people managers.
Yup. Diversity is a big focus for us now.
Unfortunately, you tend to look for your first employees in your own network, so people you know. Most of our team is also composed of backend/data engineers, and diversity is not easy there.
But this is definitely top of mind for us now.
I like the gear app, it has many options to customize the buds sound and gestures. How else do you propose they deliver those features and software updates to users? Keep I mind that Samsung needs to support other Android and ios phones too.
I've been using Python since it was version 1.4.

Back then the main draw of Python was supposed to be the "one way of doing things" - Python originally started as a teaching language.

And look at Python today - there's what, five different "standard" ways of packaging libraries? (And why is "packaging libraries" even a thing?) Instead of "batteries included" we get at least four different ways of doing every common task: the stdlib Python 2 way, the stdlib Python 3 way, the "standard" community third-party synchronous library and the "standard" community async one.

This is just how it always is. Every language starts with the goal of being small, easy to understand and beautifully composeable.

The cruft builds over time because people eventually want it and because none of it ever really goes away due to backwards compatibility.

I think it's best to make peace with this fact, learn to live with the cruft and accept existing languages rather than switching your entire stack every three years trying to chase an unobtainable dragon.
They not only vote on, but had an active left-wing terrorist group, FALN, that planted bombs and murdered American citizens in order to win Puerto Rican Independence from the U.S. The idea was that America was just holding them back from a socialist paradise.

In 1999, Bill Clinton offered pardons to some of the terrorists but it was conditional on their promising to renounce violence. Oscar Lopez Rivera refused to do so, but was pardoned by Obama. Rivera, who planted bombs that killed two Americans, is friends with Lin Manuel Miranda, who has no problem publicly praising Rivera, even today.
It’s only stuck for me due to a specific real world friend who uses it. I’m pretty sure Twitter Spaces will clobber it for both of us.
What you said may be true for many people in situations similar to mine, but I am pretty stable, well adjusted, and happy. Thus I have no "problems in other areas that need to be addressed." The main issue I had with high school was no escape from the tediousness of homework assignments for content that I had already mastered.

The CHSPE was a godsend to me. I fit right in at Jr. College and got along well with my teachers and classmates. The environment was different because my peers were (mostly) emotionally mature, and they wanted to be there. High school was like a prison in comparison.
I like this answer. There’s more musicians who aren’t well known, but doesn’t mean they’re out of work.

I have much respect for session musicians... probably the most talented type of musician
I guess it's more of a win for big tech's bottom line.

I’m curious if Twitter would’ve allowed him to blanket disable comments. Not blocking specific individuals, but just not having any comments at all.

They have an option for that (technically, “only people you @mention,” but as long as you never @mention anyone, it won’t let them reply), but I don’t remember hearing anything one way or the other about him trying to do that.

Except that's not how it works? Chip manufacturers just care about selling chips, not about being in the iPhone or being in an Android phone. It doesn't matter that some chip works in OnePlus phones, if it doesn't work in Samsung phones Samsung's not going to buy it.

If broadcom says it's going to be expensive to fix, either you pay or you don't. But it has nothing whatsoever to do with "controlling the whole stack".

As an aside, and it's totally irrelevant to the above, but there's nothing other than the amount of work involved preventing Samsung writing their own bluetooth stack. They write plenty of custom drivers and they created a folding device prior to OS support. If they wanted to they could; they just apparently don't think it's worth the cost.

Edit: according to a comment down thread they have done exactly that.
It's working for 24-bit color as well.
I think you mean it shouldn't happen undetected... these kinds of mistakes can and do happen. Everything from human error (oops, Billy put baking powder in the baking soda tank) to equipment error (the tank valve stuck open, adding 10X more of ingredient X than expected)
America has higher 5-year survival because America tests earlier and more often than most other countries. That's likely attributably to a lawsuit-happy society and liability fears. However, that doesn't necessarily impact your likelihood of dying from the disease much of the time. This is called early detection and overdiagnosis bias [2].

Further, 5-year mortality rates can be affected by palliative care philosophy too - do you keep giving chemo to folks who won't recover?

In fact, if you look at the mortality rate for most cancers instead of the 5 year survival rates, they're basically the same across the Australia, the UK and the US.

Prostate cancer in particular is interesting because the US continues to advocate for early screening and PSA antigen tests, but the NHS has found that there's no scientific basis for this, and PSA screening for prostate cancer actually does more harm than good [1]

There's currently no screening programme for prostate cancer in the UK. This is because it has not been proved that the benefits would outweigh the risks.

This is just a misinterpretation of the data.

tl;dr: 5 year survival rates measure, in a lot of cases, the rate of early detection, not cure. At least, that's the inherent bias. Your study uses 5 year survival rates not mortality rates, hence this is illustrating differences in testing philosophy not efficacy. More, early testing is not necessarily better. It's often worse.

I think this is mostly driven by management's insecurities / needs to see their "subjects" right in front of them and their typical need to "show" their activities in an obvious/noisy way. Typical managers tend to be extroverts and find allies in other extroverts or in people who happen to work in/enjoy the social interaction in office. Unfortunately there is not much representation of introverts in the decision making circle so those people will be once more thrown under the "quality-of-face-to-face-interactions" bus. Engineering-driven, low-politics, not-so-large orgs might do things a bit differently.
Yep. And to go to the extreme like Milli Vanilli, when they’re performing they’re not even the one’s actually singing!
That song is a masterpiece, and he sings it well. But that doesn't mean the tone of his voice is great. It's just such a great song that we transfer that to his tone. A singer is stuck with his tone, no amount of training and technique will change it.

Of course, it's my favorite NY song, too.
The tesla nav system has a lot of the data for this.

It just does not let you specifically route for energy use. You can choose to route for money (tolls), charging stops or traffic if you enabled online routing.

When you plan a trip, it has a page that shows a graph with predicted vs actual energy use. If you keep the "actual" line above the "predicted" line, you will make it, otherwise you may not.

Thing is, the predicted line clearly shows the route ahead with the slope of the curve mapping against climbs and descents.

If you read the manual it says:

"The calculation is an estimate based on driving style (predicted speed, etc.) and environmental factors (elevation changes, temperature, etc.)"
If the employees of these companies want a remote life after the experience of this past year, they'll leave the company. If the companies are experiencing enough loss they may reconsider their remote stance. I think it's unlikely though. More likely than not some employees will leave and the company will hire new employees that don't want to work remote.

You are probably correct, but there are always exceptions.

The last half of my career was spent doing cutting-edge research and development with some of the best and brightest people I have ever known -- about half of them with at least one PHD.

Sometimes ability can make up for lack of credentials, but it is rare.
Podcasts tend to be constructed rather than conversational, I tend to stop listening if it's some kind of round table format.
Yep, where the medium shines is with controversy. Live audio is simultaneously more humanizing, and less efficient, than text or pre-recorded social media. That tradeoff seems well worth it to me.

Even so, a lot of discussions still demand good/strict moderation.

And all the other growth hacking and flirting stuff is pretty cringey.

That’s cool, they are enabling it because of Linux gaming demand:

> With virtualization enabled, GeForce customers on a Linux host PC can now enable GeForce GPU passthrough on a virtual Windows guest OS.
There are a few GeForce use cases where this functionality is beneficial such as:

> GeForce customers wanting to run a Linux host and be able to launch a Windows virtual machine (VM) to play games

> Game developers wanting to test code in both Windows and Linux on one machine
Can i strongly recommend the 'massive' trackballs rather than the smaller ones, they seem to be easier to pick up and be accurate with quickly.
Exactly, I was wondering why free conference.com which has been around for years, or something like it, couldn't just whitelabel itself and boom, a million easy competitors.
This is great, I hadn't seen this before. Semantic Lawful / Syntactic Chaotic seems like a fair characterization of Julia. There's too much syntax for hardcore lispers to be entirely comfortable but almost all of the syntax is just method calls in disguise, so it's semantically pretty clean.
I found this pretty interesting, there's a few classic frequencies in this list

Is that the salary for a mid-career tech worker in the US, or in Europe/Asia? Because tech salaries are a lot lower outside of the US.

Also many countries have double-taxation treaties to avoid the double taxation when you exceed $100k

I know a bunch of Americans abroad, none of them have to pay any tax to the US, but several of them have to pay specialist accountants to deal with the differences in taxation between the countries. It ends up being a tax on Americans that is not paid to the US but to accountants.
Ah, I'm missing the MD step. that might be the cause.
At least once or twice a day I’ll find a comment on HN that just 100% completely humbles me. This is that comment. Where do you learn things like this?
Hm, for a 4k screen, it has surprisingly little on the screen. Is the monitor pretty small (<32")?
Not if you experience the self exploration of the world around you as a fun activity.

My company is located in a place that's pretty difficult to reach via public transport. It's common knowledge that owning a car is expensive. We are working fully remote since november, and I realized that I just own a car for the sake of getting to work.

Don't get me wrong: I like to drive "somewhere" on the weekend or visit family and friends, but for that, an older car would be fine enough. Heck, I could even persue my dream of a convertible. I just own a decent car to have a reliable way to get to work. Every. Day.

Things might change for me moving forward.

Not mentioned by the OP but Telegram also released an update last week to its group voice call feature, which essentially turns a channel or group into a ClubHouse room. https://telegram.org/blog/voice-chats-on-steroids
OP here!

Thanks for the compliment on my English skills. I'm an Italian immigrant, actually. I've been focusing a lot on my writing, and I'm part of a community of writers that help me out with that.

> it read rather like a quirky advertisement

I assure it wasn't. I mean, it was, but for something different from what you expect: I'm trying to build an audience online, and this blog post is the funnel opening to my Twitter account. [1]

That being said, I'm indeed trying to build a product out of those experiments, and maybe I will get some side money from it. It'd be awesome, but that's not my core, first goal

Happy to answer more questions if you have any!

Should We Block the Sun? Scientists Say the Time Has Come to Study It
This is, of course, totally untrue. Samsung changes a ton of things about their flavor of Android, at every level of the stack.

Edit: Samsung has apparently already ripped out the Bluetooth stack and replaced it with their own - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26650447
It's difficult :)
I pretty much dropped out of high school the last mandatory year by taking classes that didn't have exams and breezing through knowing I already had university entrance through a scholarship. But honestly I regret it often as I missed out on extra STEM learning that I ended up having to teach myself anyway. Going to university a year earlier wasn't an option so I feel I was let out early with no oversight, at a time when my brain was a sponge.

For context this was the original comment:

> No offence, but will installing this on "Windows 10" lead to any instability. Can I uninstall it without breaking something. I ask because, I'm currently on my second desktop. Recently bought after my eight-year old Linux desktop gave up the ghost.

> As I said, I bought a new PC intending to put Linux on it. On the first, trying to enable boot-from-usb, to create a recovery image. Couldn't enter the bios. After enable safe-mode in Windows, I ended up with a black screen. Because certain combinations of graphic card, monitor and UEFI are incompatible. You might think all I need to do is reboot, but no, the recovery utility puts the PC in permanent safe-mode.

> On the second PC, I tried to enable usb boot in the UEFI but ended up with "corrupt bios". So now I don't dare touch it for fear of ending up with a black-box again. How the f*ck can they design a combination of Windows and the BIOS that there is no way of recovering from a bad configuration. I never had such problens on my eight year old PC. There was no way to break the BIOS with a few key combinations. I tried reading-up on UEFI, seems to be an excercise in confusion. Sorry for the rant.
There's two options I would love in Maps.

1) "I already know this part" where the navigator is muted for part of the journey and you can just get directions for the parts you don't know. I feel like this is a very common occurrence for people but we just leave the navigation on and it consumes the battery (increasing carbon footprint) and distracts us (increasing danger)

2) Multi-method transit. It's a nice day out. I don't want to drive directly to my destination. Show me free parking and let me walk half a mile to finish. This would also encourage more people to walk and be a far greener option.
wasn't it already established that the force measured was related to current in the power cables or something?
That would most likely be because of low latency and jitter. The app is in essentially the environment it was developed in and does not have to put effort into correcting errors that itself cause pauses in the visible video, since it tries to hide the parts where artefacts appear.

Ten years back I was told America likes to zap quickly through tv-channels with all the artefacts involved while Asia preferred a slower and artefact-free experience. Analog and keyframeless digital codecs are faster but not so bandwidth efficient.
Apparently it started in the 18th century, so there's a lot of inertia to overcome to get people to change.

But she says it was from the 18th century onwards that people started using male pronouns when describing someone of a non-specific gender in writing and this marks the time when opinions on what pronouns should be used started to change.

"You might have a sentence like 'if a student comes to see the teacher, he must bring his homework', where he is supposed to refer generically to males and females," explains Dr Emma Moore.

Offshore Core: Classical humanities education now occurs outside the U.S.
My boss less than a couple of years ago died of stage 4 cancer in his early 40s. Apparently didn't notice symptoms until it was too late and died within six months of diagnosis.
I haven't seen a 'new' or 'delete' in C++ in 15 years. (And I have worked on teams writing custom malloc implementations and lots of other low-level things.)

I guess there are lots of demented and broken codebases out there, but starting students with the broken dysfunctional case as the default seems wrong. They can learn bad habits on their own later.
Sounds to me that this person thinks the goth kids in South Park was real.

Emo kids were notorious for being attention seeking while being oblivious to their methods.

Just like every teen fad.
I solve hard problems for a living. This doesn't even register.

My post-vaccine plan is to have a "mulmen day" where I set the expectation with my teammates and stakeholders that I am in the office and a "float" day where I come in to align with someone else's day who I need to work with face-to-face for whatever reason. If everyone works this way then we can meet most scheduling needs. If we expand this to two float days a week then it is trivial.

There's no reason for the whole team to be colocated on the same day on a regular basis. Those kind of team-wide meetings never benefit from whiteboarding or any other in-person process. In fact the limitations of remote work make that kind of collaboration better because you have to actually prepare your thoughts and material.

Even pre-covid getting calendar time required a week of notice. Office hours were once-a-week and required at least 24 hours notice. Personally my office hours are on Wednesday. If someone books a session I come in, if not I don't. Nothing changes.

In Covid times I have had the most productive period of my career while my team grew by 50%. I have no problem getting coworker time ad-hoc, even remote. Communication is not difficult. We got better at using tooling to write documents and draw diagrams. We don't use whiteboard analogies.

I honestly see no downside to the remote work and a long list of personal, professional and environmental benefits.
When I thought about the pattern, I thought of the pattern those old-time "fill" routines in paint programs used to follow to color inside the lines.

Was not disappointed.

Remember when there would be a line break in the shape you were filling, and color would "escape" and fill your entire drawing?
> Of course much of it really is just bloat. Editors should probably not be implemented in Electron.

Maybe. On the other hand, vscode feels faster than Visual Studio or Eclipse or IntelliJ ever was.
>>>When will introverts realise that their working conditions are being dictated to them by extroverts?

This is my exact complaint, even in the Marine Corps. All of our senior leadership are charismatic extroverts. They are trying to adapt "distributed command & control" because they recognize that large management nodes are easy to spot and kill. But they still insist on all forms of concentrated workspaces, in-person meetings, video teleconferences, etc... We have the technology, but it will never be fully embraced because it is fundamentally anathema to the character of our decision-makers.
HN doesn't really allow downvotes though. At least not unless you've reached a million karma points (from my understanding).
True, Clubhouse fame was very much due to a media hype, An important lesson to learn though. It doesn't matter if you are a late arriver, or your product is so so. If you manage to hit the popular culture hype waves you get traction from the popular media. That said, the hype around Clubhouse is allready in decline. Another lesson learned. A hit doesn't necessarily stick and can be over as fast as it started while the party moves on to the next hype.
Self-love or self-hate? The surprising truth about narcissists
Newtonian motion was pretty well established for hundreds of years until general relativity transformed our understanding of gravity.

Things seem "established" until evidence comes along indicating it may not be. It doesn't always result in a reevaluation, but there's times it does.

This feels like one of those times where there's those in the establishment are yelling at others that their studies are a waste of time and that they shouldn't bother....and if that advice was followed, we'd be missing many of the breakthroughs in knowledge we have today. Of course there will be many times they're unsuccessful. That's why accepting a negative result is a lauded part of the scientific process. Without the bravery required in challenging convention, we would never make progress.
Not sure if I agree with the author.

For example, the phones send tons of data to Google when first booted. But there is no data on the phone at that point! Then maybe this is not data gathering just bad software??
