In general this is pretty accurate to the genre. Techno is all about repetition. This is super cool.
The original comment was speaking about getting it wrong with respect to memory safety, not NullPointerExceptions, not array out of bounds accesses, not division by zero, but about memory safety.

This discussion isn't about program correctness as a general and broad concept, Rust and Java both have various strategies to eliminate many classes of errors and both languages leave the door open to many other classes of errors.

This discussion is about whether Rust uses a compile time garbage collector in order to ensure memory safety. It does no such thing, Rust has a borrow checker which ensures that syntactically valid expressions referencing memory have a correspondingly valid semantic interpretation. C++ does not have such a thing, syntactically valid expressions referencing memory may not have any valid semantic interpretation, what is referred to as undefined behavior. This is not what a garbage collector does in any sense of the word. A garbage collector is a system that computes an upper bound on object lifetime and when an object exceeds that upper bound, reclaims the memory associated with the object. Rust does no such thing at compile time.

Rust's system of enforcing memory safety is great, it's a step forward in language design, by all means give it the praise it deserves... just don't refer to it by a concept that already has a well defined meaning and an active area of research. Compile time garbage collection is a separate concept from how Rust enforces memory safety and there's not much utility in reusing that term, all it does is create confusion.
They haven't announced supported platforms. They probably won't though. Windows 7 exited extended support more than a year ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped 7.

I've used Blender, Substance, Unity, and Unreal. All of them have totally custom GUI systems except Substance, which uses QT (I think). Though I guess technically those would end up calling Windows APIs underneath, even if they don't use the actual Windows GUI. But I literally can't think of a single non-builtin Windows program that uses the actual native Windows GUI components, other than old shareware like VLC and Daemon Tools and WinDirStat

Edit: I take it back, GIMP uses a pretty native GUI, though isn't that through GTK?
I live in an old, three story brick house from the 1930. It's small, 100 m² (1075 sq.ft.). The 5 GHz from my Airport Express can barely reach the kitchen. My solution is to put additional APs in the house, but with low transmit power. I use 25 mW personally. But then again, the chances that the neighbor will agree to this, are slim to none.

Nope, hiring processes should bias for type 1 (false positive) errors at ingress, and bias for type 2 (false negative) on the decision side.

Otherwise we miss interviewing people who can do the job, and in my experience, some of the most interesting people; but this means, one may sometimes be interviewing people that cannot do the job.

Since these are human-mediated processes, there is no accurate single-stage filter, and anyone claiming to operate an unbiased hiring process is either a fool or a liar. A hiring funnel (and really, any decision process) that recognises the inevitability of biases, and is phased accordingly, leads to more optimal outcomes.

You and the person you responded to interpreted it exactly the same way, I think.

This IBM employee isn't allowed to contribute to VNIC. Why? I dunno. But the problem isn't if a personal address is used or not, but rather this specific IBM employee can't contribute to VNIC.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the fairness of that, but rather that the OP was saying "it wouldn't have been any better if they had used their IBM address."

To your last point... I doubt that's what's happening here. I don't think IBM wants ownership, but rather is protecting themselves from any sort of litigation or undermining an agreement.

Oh, yeah, world-imposed restrictions are a factor. Problems aren't all because people are idiots. I, pointedly, don't exclude myself from the "people are idiots" judgement, either. But I think it's also true that the Super-Serious Real World's not half as competent, or capable, or polished, as one might hope. That organization that seems impossibly amazing? They're not, actually. Look closer and they produce bafflingly-bad crap more often than not. The institution with The Reputation? It's because they sometimes get things mostly right, and are good at networking and/or marketing, but if you got a look at how "the sausage is made" you'd be absolutely shocked. The Authority on The Thing? OMG you don't want to know.

Which is horrifying or liberating, depending on one's perspective.
That seems less egregious, at least. The TV/billboard was already there in the first place and was already playing an ad in the original version of the film. While I don't like re-writing history like this at all, it's better than digitally adding in things that weren't there to begin with.

I agree there should be less tax loophole exploitation. I think the best way to prevent it though is through law changes to remove the loopholes.

To compare against Blizzard's 2018 numbers, I checked out Google's 2018 numbers (full disclosure I work at Google, but my words are my own). I could be misinterpreting the document, but it looks like Google paid $14.5B in corporate income taxes in 2017 and $4.2B in 2018.

I'm definitely at least that uninformed. I'd like to think I'd listen to a logically reasoned technical explanation. I really don't understand how wifi works and I know this. Sometimes I wish I did, but not quite enough to do anything about it.
Not all IoT products support 5ghz - some of mine say they don't (Nest Protect) and some say they do but don't work (Nest thermostat, Netatmo). The only way I could get a stable IoT network in my apartment was to set up a 2.5ghz guest network and put all of them on it.

It really doesn't feel wonderful in fighting games.

A superior player can easily trap you in a corner and take your life down to half or more with a single combo string. It's like playing chess against someone entirely more skilled; everything you try to do gets responded to at a level far above you. There really isn't any "wonderful" about it; you could end up watching a video and getting the same result, for all you could do in the match.

There is no "glory" in this. A lot of the "play to improve" mindset is a result of needing to make a stupid level of effort to win games, with players going on long loss series due to low population and over-skilled players in the brackets they are in. This is why the fighting game genre struggles to get new players in the game at all-you have to work so much to get to where the fun is or to feel good about your efforts.

There are many games at different abstraction levels in finance, and I agree to find an edge at the level you're describing is exceedingly difficult. That said, Fama and French won a Nobel Prize with data stewardship and regressions. There's definitely a place for understanding basic financial data and ML concepts even for the retail investor.
I've recently started working with firewire, and man what an interesting bus. You've got isochronous and asynchronous support simultaneously, awesome! But then you get this: "Voltage is specified as unregulated and should nominally be about 25 volts (range 24 to 30)"
Looking at the nearest firewire device on my table, it will certainly blow up if I get near it with 25 volts. It's like USB-C without any negotiation!

That's kind of surprising, actually, I'd expect a bunch of techy types to be running their own routers or at least to have manually configured their router. At least, assuming everyone in the building has Comcast as an ISP, I'd expect the number of xfinitywifi APs to be inversely related to the number of Comcast employees who live there.
I disagree. the 3 day delay is not because they want to put best security practice. If that's the case how does apps like Zelle transfers money instantaneously? I know in India, bank transfers are instantaneous and the receiver gets notified instantaneously. Some merchants even put their account number so people can transfer money to purchase goods.
All of us fighting over tiny slivers of bandwidth while telecom monopolies gobble up giant chunks of spectrum. The amount of value generated by the tiny unlicensed spectrum dwarfs the value that "5G" could possibly ever generate for society. Our public resources have been stolen, again.

> ... to turn the TX power wayyy down

Exactly! That's what it was supposed to be. A wifi-neighborly approach - have your local coverage at minimum needed power and with lower pollution. Except that all wifi-devices would be factory configured at increasingly higher 'medium' power setting.

I had fun with just the worst case scenario - 20m away is a glass condo tower right in front of my windows (the list of loud networks is endless), 100m away is a cell-tower. The RF interference from the cell tower so bad across all bands that I could hear it even in radio speakers. Yet, I still get steady browsing speads over my wifi (loud it is), just not practical NAS speeds, so wire does it.
It will be interesting see if the next waves of wifi products solve this. For Wifi 6 and Halow there's a new feature called 'target wake time' that will let these devices sleep (and not pollute spectrum) for longer.

Wifi 6 also brings OFDMA which will let stations use much less of the channel at a time (instead of a 20MHZ+ chunk they can just use 2MHZ while other stations use the rest). 2.4GHz being stuck on old Wifi 4 (or worse) devices hasn't helped the situation.
Something like a TP-Link AC-1200 plus a $10 AC dongle should give you pretty good speeds for around $50 total.

I'm not skeptical of people being able to get a 5 GHz router setup for that price, but I am skeptical that everyone can make 5 GHz work. There are still devices that are 2.4 GHz only and some apartments where 5 GHz doesn't cut through the walls correctly.
I have occasionally wondered if I truly forgot systems I once used, or if sitting down in front of one would reactivate all the old muscle memory. Assuming, of course, that subsequent sysadmins haven't changed it in the meantime:)

finance book do help, 'ML for finance' books rarely do, the domain is too new and attracts many charlatans.

You're better off just learning ML from its classics like Hastie & Tibshirani , Tom Mitchell, or Bishop PRML.

And learn finance from its own classics you can find in any "financial engineering" curriculum.

I wonder if nearly every major network (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, Slack, Spotify etc) cloning Clubhouse as a feature is actually helping Clubhouse with free marketing?

It may also be better for them to focus on doing one thing really well, rather than doing it sub-par as a feature. Facebook copied TikTok's video format as a feature in Instagram, and TikTok is still gaining popularity as they haven't changed their focus.
Depending on internal policy, this could be reason enough for the employee to be fired.

Unless explicitly authorised, I’m not allowed to quote an internal email on a public forum.

As I read it, it looks like it was decided, by IBM, the employee would no longer be a maintainer and adding a personal email to the list of maintainers was a misrepresentation of their current role.
Sure, but in this case they were working on the kernel driver of an IBM NIC.

The sentence in question is misinterpreted. I read it like this: our contract applies all the time, not only when you're directly working for the company. We don't know what the contract exactly says. Likely there's an agreement not to work on IBM-related products in spare time.
No, the manager obviously talking about "hobby" email and being 24h/day employee (slave) so this has nothing to do with the day work of the certain programmer.

> At least here in Australia the below situation would be very unenforceable

Even in Australia those clauses make it into contracts. It might be unenforceable, but that doesn't stop employers from putting it into their contracts, and it might not stop them from trying to enforce it anyway and making your life difficult.

I don't know how many people challenge it, but I've struck it out of several contracts over the years. Each time it's been met with surprise that I might object to it.

I'll agree to more narrowly targeted clauses for IP assignment (limited to work performed on company time and/or with company resources).

But I've also seen things utterly dumb non-compete clauses which would attempt to prevent me from doing any IT work for sometimes years. Also struck. Also likely unenforceable.

What this website looks like, how fast it loads, and how simple it is are not reasons to post here.

People post to contribute their thoughts to the community. There are people here who we want to discuss things with. There are topics we're interested in that we have opinions about. We each want to be seen to be curious or knowledgeable about tech things.

The design of HN is good because it lowers the barrier to posting. It's simple and obvious how to use it[1]. Those are good things but they're not enough to keep people here. That comes from the links and the comments.

Good design isn't enough to make people here stay on a website. Bad design is enough for people to leave.

I think it's safe to assume that 80+ wireless devices puts you in the top few percentiles. So while not unheard of, not "normal" exactly. And even less common in dense apartment environments where having more than 3-4 rooms is unusual.
The article's thought process and conclusions feel narcissistic. The preoccupation with intelligence is exhausting, and the article's conclusion, "turn your eyes forward and focus on what you can change: the future." is such a milquetoast statement it feels condescending.

Many wish to learn from their mistakes - many argue that learning from mistakes is key to not repeating them. All of this contributes to the stress and anxiety felt from looking back. I could write an article that takes an entirely contrary opinion about looking back and learning from your mistakes. The conclusions are self-help nonsense, but it's well-written self-help nonsense with a techy / entrepreneur vibe. If it makes you feel better, I'm happy for you.
