Not a good look. The merits of the argument are sandwiched between projections and immaturity.

Just stick to why you're better and focus on your own business. You can't control what others do.

Posted because I've seen the misfortune of people not knowing the signs, not because I think it's likely.
I feel like FAANG jobs are the most conducive to family life compared to small companies or startups.

They have maternity leave, and they have resources so you don't have to be on call constantly as it is with smaller companies.
Telegram tried to create their own cryptocurrency _twice_ :
Gram which was cancelled due to the SEC cracking down on unregistered ICOs and TOM which is no longer affiliated with Telegram at all.
I can still type on QWERTY without looking at keys but my skill definitely took a hit because I never use it. I bet I'd be up to par if I spent a day or two only on QWERTY again.

One time I had an interview where they handed me a Windows laptop on QWERTY to code some problem and I looked like I could barely use a computer :D
Yeah in a sense. It’s got some significant differences, it’s substantially faster on the CPU and GPU, by like 50%, almost twice in some respects
than A14 and has some more features.

Another site with moderated comments is Ars Technica. It works out great for them.

On the other side there is unmoderated Phoronix, which has the worst comment section that I've ever seen.

Nutella is great chocolate, hazelnut, and palm oil, but peanut butter (peanuts) has its own umami that adds something other than desert. Peanuts in pad thai, for example. How can you have Reese's Peanut Butter Cups without peanut butter? Blasphemy! Or Snickers, the vaguely almost food, emergency post-workout energy bar? Don't even touch my Peanut M&M's unless you want to lose a hand or an arm.

Anything tastes better than crisp bread or lutefisk.
This came across as really petty. It's a better idea to write things like this in your diary than to publish them to a website.
Google's AI ethics board in 2019, for example, was killed for explicitly political reasons. Many AI ethics commentators, including two of the board members, indicated that Kay Coles James should not be permitted to participate in AI ethics discussions because of her politics.

I know its 2021, but TBH I only want a laptop that can drive 2 external monitors and a webcam that doesn't make me look like a Minecraft character...

Is that too much to ask Apple?
I think there's still a portion of people who believe (or at least want to believe) Google's old "do no evil" mantra. You're right in the general sense, but for a time it seemed like Google might buck the trend a little.
120Hz displays should be coming this fall, which would be worth the wait in my opinion.
Scientists Turned Spiderwebs into Music, and It's Hauntingly Beautiful
I suspect when somebody's coming out of nowhere offering to solve the whole shebang of physics, any advanced physicist is likely to be as good as any other. Weinstein is not, as I understand it, building off of the most cutting-edge work, but offering a new approach. Having deeper understanding of the state of the art may not be a benefit.

It is almost certainly rubbish, and anybody could probably tell him that. It's probably not worth the time of anybody anywhere near the cutting edge, just a blogger who wants the attention.

On the off chance it's actually correct, the person to affirm that it's correct is almost certainly not a popularizer at all. It'll be some obscure academics who see the merit and fill in the details -- which will be read by the popularizers and translated. But if I were one of them I wouldn't start sharpening my pencils yet.
I like the Surface quality, but damn, why couldn't they integrate the Ryzen 5000 series!?

Yes, this is what the FSF wants. Now go make your own FSF. With blackjack.
"I went on HN Who's Hiring, looked for people hiring data scientists or python web developers (pretty much everyone) and sent out resumes. [...] I had no idea [...] whatever I was supposed to do with some of the probability related word problems I got."

What do data scientists do?

"...I use an ORM, rarely do I need to write a query by hand...."

"I had been working as a consultant and/or starting companies for almost 10 years and found the b2b sales process is literally nothing like the hiring process for SV companies. In one we talked about project goals and solutions, in the other we talked about hypothetical word problems that I have no doubt are popular in CS programs."

And yet, one of the two failed while the other has job openings.
Yeah I miss the vaio philosophy, but I'll at least give props to microsoft for having an awesome power-dock that gives me 4x USB-A, 2x mini display port, ethernet + line-out. Really enjoyed clipping the magnetic power cable on and booting into my desktop. Have had an alienware last couple of years and if I wanted a dock I think I'd be looking at their eGPU and that's still 2 cables.
Please don't post shallow dismissals. If you don't like an article, there are many others to look at. Posting just to complain like this lowers the quality of the threads, especially because indignation attracts upvotes.

With the exception of Dvorak, every English-centric layout I've looked at (Colemak, Workman, Carpalx, probably a couple others) moves only the letters around, keeping punctuation in the same place as QWERTY. This means the right pinky is heavily overloaded for many/most common programming languages, which use far more punctuation than prose does.

Dvorak moves several punctuation keys onto the left hand, which is great, but unfortunately it also moves braces and brackets farther away from the home row, which I found bad enough by itself to prompt me to look elsewhere.

There's a variant called "Programmer Dvorak" which is somehow even worse. Aside from moving the numerals into ridiculous positions, now all the paired delimiters are on number keys but not in any consistent way. Both braces are on the left hand. Brackets and parentheses are on opposing hands, but, depending on how you slide your right hand up to the number row (7 and 8 are both natural resting places for the index finger), one pair will not be on corresponding fingers! And in general, I have a hard time touch-typing the middle part of the number row, so I don't like anything that puts common characters there.

I've come to the conclusion that no, every common keyboard layout is bad for programming (for me). Eventually I gave up trying to find something suitable and made my own custom layout, which I've been using for a few years now.
I hear you, that's really rough. It's a very strange industry where things are so feast and famine, and there seem to be a lot of people who haven't seen both sides of that. These are the people who always say, "Why don't you just X?"

I certainly don't have a solution, but I do get the impression that there are more developers than there are jobs and this is why many companies can afford to be more arbitrary in their selection process. Mostly I just wish I bought more bitcoin. Kidding but not kidding.
10 seconds later: "I overstated that a bit. The FSF has a lot of nice people in it, but some of them are a bit too extreme."
You know it's a good rant when you start mansplaining capitalism to another business owner.
>I am, vaguely, considering switching because of the better privacy stuff

Here's my N=1 anecdata, but in 10 years of using a smartphone I have yet to be hacked. I've used iPhones and Android interchangeably, and neither of which felt more secure or private, their vulnerabilities were just spread out across different attack surfaces. You're free to draw your own conclusions here, but "privacy" is a pretty strange reason switch. You're just putting your faith in a different company, which doesn't really improve anyone's condition.
What they've not addressed:

- Moxie's involvement with MobileCoin (could be as simple as saying: "for the same reasons Signal's interested in MobileCoin, moxie is as well").

- The concerns about regulatory risks/attention involved with a cryptocurrency integration.

- Why it involved hiding the server source code.

The idea of privacy-friendly transactions easily available within an app I'm already using is attractive, but I very much hope the obvious concerns won't play out in practice (which time will tell), and it would be good if they'd also addressed the above.
I mean sure yes. There was also a time in the USA where Black people were not even considered a "full" human being.
A new feature that adds value is not a 'dark pattern'. Lets not be dramatic.

Even moving from one-time to subscription isn't a 'dark pattern', its a business model move to shift to recurring revenue, which we know is something that businesses need to keep the lights on. You can debate the merits of it, but it's not a dark pattern in and of itself. HOW they execute that might be, but the change itself isn't. You just have a personal preference to not want to pay for it in a particular way.
Honest to God, I think current interview practices suck and single out leetcode as particularly corrosive and demonstrating nothing about competence.

But I honestly can’t believe people are acting like reversing a binary tree is hard. This is like something you’d expect high school students with the most basic you data structures knowledge to be able to do.
> It takes a _huge_ scale to make moving to ec2 make sense in most cases.

Our project has almost no traffic but the data processing part requires plenty of RAM. Literally with a few concurrent users it just won't work. And if autoscaling was enabled it'd be too pricey.

So I think it also depends on the use case. There are better PaaS alternatives.
It's super weird to see this phrased as "courage". I can understand the desiderata--"I want a user-servicable laptop" is entirely a reasonable position--but framing this narrative as "courageous" is bizarre. It's all a mix of branding and utility.

> The Signal Foundation is a nonprofit.

Signal Messenger LLC isn't.

> How can a shell do anything serious with asserted file types that can be missing, wrong, malformed, unknown or mendacious? It's hard to go beyond offering a best-effort "open with the associated program" application as an alternative to vi, cat etc.

How would that be any worse than the status quo, though?

Programs already output, depending on their invocation and the utility at hand, binary data in arbitrary formats, shell escape sequences, text, ASCII art, etc.

The only issue I can think of is for portability of the scripts, if a program gets updated to support a new type as input or output, and that causes issues compared to the testing environment. But that's arguably already an issue too, and it would be rather simple to annotate expected types.
I use a password manager but, as a mostly-Apple user, I see very little reason not to just use iCloud Keychain: the UX of Apple’s solution is significantly better than all the alternatives because I don’t have to remember yet another password/mfa token to type in every once in a while.
Like a while bunch of places did in March and April last year: build emergency capacity during what was supposed to be only a short several-week lockdown. Instead, when the capacity went mostly unused during the lockdown, it was quietly dismantled and lockdowns continued.

Also, we knew by April last year that ventilators were a bad choice: Doctors were jumping to it because of a specific weird symptom (blood oxygen levels impossibly low), but they had to keep turning the ventilators to higher settings to get an effect - to the point it was causing further lung damage. There's a bunch of less damaging ways to get more oxygen into a patient they'd been shifting to: https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/08/doctors-say-ventilators-...
And the energy usage goes up accordingly. If you care about climate change, sell.
I think buyer beware isn't really effective for the general public. As techies, sure, but for everyone else? There's a reason this app is making $5m a month.
If attributes such as age or gender are strong features for certain dependent variables that improve the predictive performance of a model, then it must be allowed to use these variables. For example, it is well known that colorectal cancer is more prevalent in men over the age of 50 - so a statistical model used to allocate free colorectal exams would favor old men. Is that discriminatory? Likewise, for any given variable, one will find certain features that favor men or women, young or old; finding these dependencies is precisely the point behind statistical models.
Injecting IM solution into a blood vessel is excruciating and you and the provider would notice it immediately if it happened. It is likely to cause an embolism and possibly kill you, but I don't think it would be unnoticeable and then cause a thrombus multiple days later.

There are also not a lot of major vessels near common injection sites, for this reason. It's possible and rather common to nick a surface capillary or something, and those can bleed quite a lot, but a vein or artery would be totally different. Swelling, horrible pain, likely a cough.

Good for you.

> I've known RMS since the 90s and have been with him in person in small groups back then. I'm an eyewitness to RMS repeatedly creeping out women, but I don't have video.

Well, me too, and I saw him behaving respectfully with women. He was a hugely shy person with made huge efforts to keep us entertained.

I'm still waiting for someone to produce a single police report.

And I think you don't know him. The only thing you said about his character is the crap the hit pieces mention. Nothing more. And there is a lot more. Pity.
I'm still in awe that this is real. It's almost like they intentionally chose the worst style, tone and words to write a rebuttal...
It's funny that you comment that on HN
I used to moderate a few message boards, and I fully agree.

I think empowering the "power users" like this inevitably leads to Stack Overflow-style communities, where arrogant responses are the norm, the taste of a few regulates the many, and the culture of the community ossifies because new contributors are not welcomed.
There's one of his maxims I like better: You don't know something until you can prove it 3 different ways.

In mathematics, it begs the question of what "understanding" really means. To understand an object doesn't necessarily mean divining an unquestionable structure by chance. What usually happens is that you're investigating some kind of problem (usually with real-world applications, if distant), and then you find you need a certain tool or a certain theory to simplify your problem, make it more tractable or more abstract. For example, you could be studying permutations, and from there the Binomial comes naturally, as well as the factorial function. From this theory, comes several definitions. The definitions are such to further you goal: they are the ones that make your tool easier to use, simpler, more "streamlined", more suitable to approach your application with minimal special cases. This is how something like '0!' is defined, and how most theories are discovered.

The thing about understanding is that it's a bit too much to require to "understand" something (even to yourself).

How can one know when he's reached "understanding"? Being used to it should be good enough for most purposes. If you know the rules, and you know how to apply them, that's mathematics.

Perhaps another direction to understanding is seeing a thing from a variety of lenses (connecting to different fields), expanding your ability to apply a tool, seeing more broadly. That's when you generalize, and you're able to see what your had as a special case (another definition of understanding): from addition to algebra, to rings, to abstract algebra. From numbers to equations to functions, each step perhaps you "understand" the fundamentals better by having a broader perspective on generalization. But of course that's only useful if your generalization is useful at all.
That's just a normal American Black Friday at Walmart minus the guns and boxing fights.
I think dallas 1-wire is a pretty interesting bus too. you can have many devices on it. I have lots of ds18b20 temperature sensors using pi + 1-wire.

This is easy to solve if you don't have a "public timeline", e.g. if you only see posts that have been vouched by people you follow. Like using Twitter but without topics, hashtags, and search: the only content you see has been either authored by someone you directly follow, or retweeted by someone you directly follow.

If you keep seeing content you like (through retweets), you can follow that person directly to get more. If you see content you dislike, you can unfollow the person who brought it into your timeline (by retweeting it).

Of course this would work a bit better if there was a way for accounts to categorize posts they author or retweet. You might follow me for tech-related content but not care much about my French politics content, which I would be happy to categorize as I post/retweet but have no way to do on current Twitter.
Just use a torpedo tube: plenty of leg room, and its very own privacy door.
The real issue is that "AppStore" and "ContentFilter" are two orthogonal things (which Apple conflates).

We can have multiple instances of both. And we probably should.
In a democracy the concerns of everyone are brought to the table, both the starving and the well fed.
After the last discussion I have been trying Element. It has some rough edges still but it has vastly improved since the last time I tried it.

Additional bonus, no electron based client, native apps for ios, Android, Web, Mac and even Linux.

If they can make the verification process for a new device smoother, I can recommend to folks. My worry is the amount of influence I used to get people to switch over to Signal only to ask them to switch again
Still, even if it gets close to a small vessel it might be problematic

Maybe we'll need to do it for AZ. Or maybe subcutaneous?
To be fair, you can change your settings to make sure you only share location data when the app is open... which makes sense for this kind of service.

You also don't even need to allow location at all if you don't want but then adding your pickup location and destination become very difficult (probably designed to be that way).
I'm not sure what you are not clear on here. If someone says I quit/resign then they quit period, they were not fired. The two weeks period is just to prevent unemployment fraud.
Dreadful as it sounds, maybe the truth truly don’t matter. You don’t have to live fully anchored down in the baseline reality, just your worldview has to be able to do more than sustain you.

Maybe it’s okay to be waist deep into QAnon schizophrenia so long as the rest of your life is also okay, and vice versa. Though those imaginations aren’t the kind of powdered grape juice to me.
Doesn't seem to be any discussion of Nuhfer's findings, which showed that you could recreate the effect with just random data. The bias comes from the process of manipulating normalized data: https://scholarcommons.usf.edu/numeracy/vol10/iss1/art4/
You definitely could. Though apparently in incognito mode it's recommended that browsers just throw an exception rather than provide fake data: https://github.com/WICG/floc/blob/dcd4c042fa6a81b048e04a78b1...

Good looking laptop with good hardware, but the OS? no thanks
Yes, precisely. Wrapped tokens and cubbyholes. Vault is great. They put a ton of effort into it.
Where was the RSS feed eliminated? It should be there - https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-blog-connecting-your-...
Ok technically yes but I can almost guarantee any company discussing culture is not one that tends toward the more relaxed/happy end of the spectrum.
I think it varies wildly based on topic. Under some (I’ve heard history is like this) there are quite large wars, but many others are not as preciously guarded.
Still good one to use.
Internet drama is so lame, oh my gosh. Why would they even write this?
> cast aspersions on the legitimacy of Finland as a nation-state

I don't know where you got that from. Finland is no less legitimate than all the other European countries whose independence movements arose in the 19th century, like Poland or those which emerged from Austro-Hungary. Finland is a fairly typical European nation-state.

> a comprehensive lack of familiarity with American history.

Ethnicity did not play the same role in the American War of Independence as it did in the 19th-century European independence movements, for the simple reason that that new notion of ethnicity did not arise until the age of Romanticism and the years immediately preceding 1848.

> your parochial resentments

I don’t share the resentments to which wassenaar10 may allude. I am not saying that he is correct, only that his view is one that exists in the Finnish context.

> We are familiar enough with trolls

"Troll" has a very specific meaning in internet parlance and is not merely anyone that you think is wrong.
The video mentions that the Surface 4 USB-C port allows charging, which is great.
