Not exactly the opposite... Paying someone else with the same experience more money is very similar to paying someone with less experience the same money. In either case, they are paying other people more for equivalent experience.
If the download had no DRM, and I could freely copy it, I would have much more sympathy. Usually transfering to another machine is hard, or impossible.
That is true, but there is always https://rr-project.org for easy reverse debugging if you're having trouble figuring out where you came from.

If the alternative is to drop to assembly, a C-based approach seems quite easy to debug. You can just add printf() statements! Previously when I had been using assembly language or a JIT, I had to resort to techniques like this: https://blog.reverberate.org/2013/06/printf-debugging-in-ass...
A Polish job board https://nofluffjobs.com took over the market in several years simply by forcing employers to include the range when posting the offer. So there is a supply/demand argument here - at least for some markets.
Can you give another example of borderline false advertisiment such as tesla?
I think a salary range should be provided to candidates once the employer decides to start the interview process. This would greatly reduce discovery abuse by other companies seeking that info for their own use/gain.

True, the candidate does not know initially when they first see the job posting (or are contacted by a recruiter) but most of the time/effort/hardwork is after getting someone to acknowlege your resume is a good fit.
Only if the alternative is non-tail function calls. Often the alternative to tail calls is a while loop, which also doesn't leave a stack trace.
It already partially happened in California where job interviewees are required to get salary ranges.

https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/California_Equal_Pay_Act.htm

“Pursuant to Labor Code section 432.3, upon reasonable request, an employer shall provide the pay scale for a position to an applicant applying for employment. Recent amendments define a reasonable request as one made after an applicant has completed an initial interview with the employer.”
Sort of?

The "hypocrite commits", according to the researchers' own paper, originated from "random Gmail addresses", and the researchers continue to claim none of those got merged (though since they haven't told us what they were, ...)

The additional claim is that some of the commits not covered by their "hypocrite commits" (and thus, submitted from their UMN addresses) contained security bugs, deliberate or not, and the loss of trust in the researchers is sufficient to justify reverting all of their commits until they can be reviewed.
My experience (Norfolk Southern and CSX operate the tracks in my area) is that I am learning that amtrak is supposed to have priority right here. My personal experience has been almost the opposite.
Knock on wood, in my recollection I've never experienced any other significant delay except freight traffic interference.
But like, on separate occasions, I've had a 4+ hour delay from Chicago to Buffalo (~8 hour drive), couple hours through NY State, had a 20 minute stop in Syracuse turn into 1.5 hours, all due to freight traffic.
I assume the train is going to arrive where I'm going like an hour late at least.

The only significant thing that wasn't freight related, is they split the train in Albany when you are going to NYC or Boston. The second train had some issues, so it took a bit to get a different one, so we were sitting there without power in like, July for an hour or so.
We remember people for their meaningful contributions, not for _everything_ they did. Take a look at any historical statue, for instance. What does it do? It captures some moment in time that we find significant. That thing becomes something we can look up to and strive to emulate. Whatever else that person was doesn't matter. What matters is what we can take away, learn, emulate and incorporate. It may not be the entire truth, but it is what is useful.

The same line of reasoning can be applied to this blog. Has the author ever done something selfish, irresponsible, criminal, etc? There's probably something. But none of that has any effect on the content of the text.
Snowdens not a national hero, I doubt he will be either.
Disgust is intimately tied to the defense against disease and pathogens, and the wrinkled snout/nose serves the function of closing down the airways to prevent pathogens from getting inside.

Jordan Peterson has an excellent series of lectures regarding disgust sensitivity, here's a sample:

Baseload is the demand side of the equation. Sure, no single wind or solar farm can meet localized baseloads over a 24 hour period, like a single nuclear or hydro station can. However, given distributed solar and wind turbines at sites across 1000s of kilometres, working in conjunction with high voltage 700+ kV transmission, it is possible. Hence my assertion that the problem is social/political, and not a technical/physical limitation.
Tesla’s FSD is exactly that case. It’s glorified level 2 system (like a comfort drug, aka, increasing comfort while driving), that’s cleverly advertised as a level 5 system (cure, aka removing driving responsibility from you).
Ah, wow, that's great. Apples-to-apples since you can dump the same data to JSON. And shows why HN remains a unique place. Wonder out loud, and maybe get an answer within an update to the article you just read :)
As a parent of two kids who are both past that age, I feel like your perspective on this is all wrong. You’ve given 70+ years to someone else. And you haven’t lost those years at all, since presumably you also have a meaningful day job (and if not, that’s not your child’s fault).

It sounds like you and your partner should work on splitting the load more. You don’t need both parents to look after the kid constantly, you can often take turns. Kids can also watch TV and all kinds of stuff. They also have earlier bedtimes, giving you even more free time.
TLDR: Yes, but deceiving a subject about the details of how they are being studied is different from deceiving them about the fact that they are a research subject.

Yes, this happens all the time. But note the salient features: (1) the subjects are aware that they are research subjects and have agreed to participate (albeit without full knowledge of how the collected data will be analyzed). They have agreed to be studied, and have agreed that their time may be used in pursuit of this research. (2) All such studies undergo a very stringent ethical review and are usually monitored closely by third parties (at least since Milgram made it extremely clear that this was a necessary policy). These issues are complex and difficult to navigate---which is precisely why we have review boards. Every experiment has to be evaluated to balance the requirement to act ethically with the value of the research data to be collected. Skipping that requirement is unacceptable.

In my experience, the moment a research team starts looking for reasons not to classify what they are doing as human experimentation is the moment when it becomes extremely clear that they need board review.
I want people who haven't used Xcode to understand that this isn't a connection issue, there is something specifically weird happening with Xcode when you try to upgrade it.

It has to be wed to the OS in such a way that makes the propensity for this vague failure state to occur, because I've never had it happen with anything else.

Upgrading from the App Store sometimes will hang at 99% and no matter what you do save some weird incantations to remove stuff from this secret App Store cache to remove the download to begin its excruciatingly slow download again, only with the hope in your heart this impenetrable and silent error doesn't happen again.

And of course none of this is addressed by Apple. You think you can just download versions from the developer site? Well enjoy, and I am not joking, a 30+ minute unzipping of the .xip file (yep that's right, it's not a .zip).

Apple does not care about it's developer ecosystem, even though you are such a huge part of it's success. It's apparent in their thread bare documentation, their terrible tools, their greedy practises.

I get it. They are a business. But they do not deserve their halo.
Think this is as much about the author's negative experiences of the culture in scientific research as it is about Feynman. Anyone who has read the book will know something of both sides of Feynman, here she is saying that despite him describing his womanizing side as fun and playful it genuinely harms people like her who are trying to succeed as female scientists.
I wonder if high speed rail would be cheaper. Is the primary cost driver time or miles?

I could see a scenario where getting a sleeper car for 10 hours would be cheaper than getting one for 36 hours.
Shared consciousness leads to empowered execution within organizations
I don't know if this is a fair comparison, as 2GB/s of protobuf will parse a lot more information than 2GB/s of JSON will, since protobuf is a much more space-efficient way to encode your data.
Mouse support is still hidden under several layers of menus despite iPad OS advertising it as a feature.

For Xcode they could take a page out of Android's book and enable it under a "Developer Mode".
> Overall, I'ld say it would be convenient at first, but a horrible idea in the long run if it's made mandatory. It should be up to individual businesses.

You start off saying it will never happen because unless it's mandatory. And you're probably right about that. That's why it should be mandatory.

Point 1 sounds like a great issue. People getting paid more sounds good.

Point 3 just means small companies will have to have some explicit additions to salary (profit sharing for established companies, more equity for smaller ones).

I don't know how to respond to your second point. What does "sell the company and culture" even mean? It's doing a mission you would accept a paycut to be at? Great, that's not hurt at all. It's a company with a lot of future growth? Great, spell out how (via equity or other ways) I participate in that growth. It's a fun place to work?

I do agree we would want some more compensation information than just a dollar sign. You offer free laundry and hanggliding on your lunch break?
That explains a lot, I did not know that. Thank you, that changes my opinion a bit.
Well then Apple will win in the US but not in the EU when they get sued there. In the EU you cannot bind someone to have less rights by hiding it somewhere in an EULA. If the button says Buy then legally you buy no matter what any contract says in small letters somewhere.
Doesn’t work on my phone, any interesting info?
One interesting thing that Backblaze supports (that I don't think many people use) is that you can actually use any S3 API on any bucket, and any B2 API on the same bucket. Like every other call if you want.

So if you HAPPEN to find something is more clear with the B2 API, it's fine to use those calls on a bucket. If you find something is more clear in the S3 API, it's also fine to use those calls. The bucket won't get confused. :-)
1) So what? In your example, the candidate doesn't know what the fair market salary is (precisely because these data aren't transparent now), but once they're hired and they find out, they'll instantly become unhappy and more likely to move. "they'll expect more money" == "employer won't be able to screw the employee over".

2) Oh these poor poor companies who won't be able to screw their employees out of their fair compensation.

3) Do you mean the startups that get crazy stupid valuations? Or those startups who pay peanuts and have little benefits? People already know the risk they're taking with the latter, and the former can afford to pay competitive salaries or sell the other benefits harder.

No, it should not be up to individual businesses. You are clearly comfortable with exploiting people for the benefit of the business.

If your business can't afford to pay for top talent, then perhaps it's ok if it doesn't get the top talent. Businesses should purchase what they can pay for, just like we do when we go to the store.
As a syllogism:

- One use of Bayesian estimation is in AI

While understanble, I hate this. "Here's 100 pages of python before we get to the good stuff", which ends up not even being good.

Publishers should just offer a free e-book of said language, and make it a requirement.
I don't think it's that weak of an assumption. First, considering all the people with foreign names in relevant groups (multinational corporations, or in this case, a researcher/ student at a university), I would say the chances that their first language is not English is high enough to be a consideration. And even if it is, there are also regional variations regarding what are common and accepted ways of phrasing things. Second, similar to the rule used here at HN, giving the text a more charitable read should be the starting point.
Do printed DVDs last that little? That sounds more like the lifespan of burned discs.
In the past, there were fewer prohibitions against college professors dating students. While some student-teacher relationships may have been problematic, others were not. That's how some people got married and started families. Now, the rules have changed, yet the writer insists we should judge Feynman through a modern lens, as if all the rules and taboos of 2021 were in place 40 years ago. Now, in every conversation Feynman is mentioned, we are supposed to include the word 'sexist' or 'misogynist' because someone took offense? This rewriting of history is sickening.
Oh, I'd love to see it. If we could accomplish a Shinkansen...!

But again, with Amtrak's record, where does the confidence come from that they could pull it off? As is pointed out above, it has never really succeeded, and has been propped-up by the government its entire life.

The Sarcophagus’s Labyrinth
Having read Perec's A void, there are some interesting “cheats” involved in the work (at least in its English translation), where certain phrases end up standing in for their forbidden equivalent, e.g., “that man” for “he.”

I came across a reference to another writer's work where he wrote 5 medium-length pieces where the only vowels were A, E, I, O and U. He said that he created word lists from a dictionary and then wrote using only those words.

Writing to a constraint in general is a surprisingly liberating process and while some of the Oulipo practices are not necessarily generative on their own, they do force the writer’s mind out of the well-trod tracks that it would otherwise travel along.
This is going to sound like a dumb question, but what if the girls in the bars in Albuquerque really were playing coy to get free drinks?

He's being honest about his opinion of a certain set of women that was honed by experience. Gave no indication of generalizing that opinion to all women.

I'll admit he's always seemed like kind of a sleaze, but at the same time, we have almost completely lost the ability to parse the cat-and-mouse pattern of sexual activity in that era. Judging somebody about this retroactively seems like a bad idea. It's like reading Middle English (e.g. Chaucer): you kind of have an idea what's going on, but you also don't.
I was surprised to see that the article says that "straight white males" would be the beneficiary of continuing to fail to post salary ranges. I understand the white male part, but I don't understand the straight part.

Could someone enlighten me here?
> Yet if I go back to my non-management dev friends and talk about this, they are all like "eeeew, what about X and Y" and I'm just like, but neither the citizens or my IT operations staff gives two shits about any of that.

That's exactly what I meant. I remember arguing with a colleague who over-engineered a simple ORM table by having 3 classes. One was just an empty class, the other was an empty interface, and the third was the actual class. When I asked why did you make it this way? He said: "What if we decided to use Mongo later?

Technically he was right but practically, he was wrong! I saw this overthinking and over-engineering pattern across many in-house dev teams. But this is just my experience, and I'm not judging what is right and wrong from devs point of view. Every decision has its context, but I saw how these complications affecting the delivery and customer experience badly.
iPad supporting Xcode would still allow you to do åll those things.
"There are numerous other applications for semiconductors, but these represent the general trend. One cannot blame semiconductor companies for switching capacity to growing applications while automakers cut production (and presumably semiconductor orders) by 40% over two quarters. It will take time to resolve the shortages. TSMC stated it takes at least six months from semiconductor production to auto production and involves several links in the supply chain. Capacity can be shifted in the short term, but increasing overall capacity often requires construction of new wafer fabs, which takes about two years. Automakers gave up their place in line, so they will have to wait their turn for semiconductors."

With a geofenced area you can hard-code behaviors in any area where FSD struggles. I see no reason to believe they couldn't do this – FSD can already drive quite a few places with zero assistance, and most of the hiccups seem to be around edge-cases, which are easily pre-programmed.

Any recommendations for a good C++ cheat sheet?
everyone always says this as if it's some kind of galaxy brain epiphany. it's not because

1) on interviews they want you to explicitly construct the array very often i.e. it's the different between hire and a strong hire exactly because @lru_cache is much easier

2) you can easily blow the stack for real production grade implementations using recursion (think edit distance for genome sequences). you also lose time actually doing the recursion. on the other hand, it's easier to prune the search space with explicit recursion vs tabulation.

edit: btw i'll also say that dynamic programming proper, i.e. as a technique for solving optimization problems defined by recurrence relations, uses tables and recursion (fixed points). so good luck understanding something like the linear quadratic regulator if you think it's just @lru_cache

Precisely for that reason it is essential that states explicitly acknowledge and regret their past harmful actions. Thus, their current citizens do not get to bear that burden.
That nuclear power plant cost roughly $10 billion and took thirty years from planning to commissioning. Wind turbines cost around $1.5M per MWp and have a capacity factor of about 0.3 or so, so those same ten billion could have bought roughly an equal amount of wind power which could've most likely been built a bit faster than 30 years time. Of course you need to add some storage for baseload capacity which will increase cost a bit, but then again you don't need to save money for decommissioning a radioactive hunk of steel and concrete when the plant reaches EOL, you don't have risks of nuclear proliferation, and no radioactive waste, and you don't lose 2GW of generation at once for ten days when a couple of turbines need some repairs, like when that power plant's transformers exploded.

Southern Belarus seems to be pretty well suited for solar power too, which might even be a little bit cheaper than wind turbines.

Nuclear is not terrible for saving CO2, but the benefits are not as dramatic as you make them seem.
Other biographies already exist including the very popular autobiography mentioned in the article. It seems unfair to give a pass to the authors of those biographies for not painting a full picture, but then to object to anyone pointing out the negative aspects that were missed.
Yup and what good does that do them? Look at sports, how often does the childhood prodigy turn into the adult phenom? Very very rarely.

So even your example with kids is false, there’s a book talking about this fetishism called Late Bloomers. I encourage you to check it out.
And the fast trains are made even better because of the complementary system of slow trains, which because they have many stops at smaller places along the way, eliminate the need for fast trains to have too-frequent stops.
That is not at all underpaid for an entry level position unless you are comparing solely to FAANG. There are plenty of experienced engineers in OH or NC making that level of salary.
Situations aren't awkward - people are. Some people can handle being told they aren't the best possible candidate. If they don't want the compensation, they can say no and walk away.

So far it’s only good at making a lot of people rich and being worthless.
See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26934063 , we may get a fairly sound comparison. Though I imagine the comparison varies a lot depending on the data. As another comment mentioned, a message with a lot of large strings would lean heavily towards protobufs. And in that case, the size wouldn't be much different.
You can still do side projects when you’ve got kids. You just have to treat your priorities seriously, which usually means having to give up most of the netflix/social-media time. You also have to realize that in a two parent household, you don’t usually need both parents looking after the kids, and it’s better for both of you if you take turns (for your sanity AND for your free time).
I've simplified the page by creating two modes: "simple" and "advanced". By default "simple" is shown, and it's what you'd need if you are the recipient, rather than initiator.
I mean, yes, ultimately, but a contract that's aiming to be deceptive or one that imposes extremely punitive measures isn't going to be legal. You could write a contract that says that you can at any point terminate the contract and the other side has to buy you a latest Lamborghini. Like, there's nothing illegal about that in itself, but if the paragraph about the Lamborghini is just mentioned once on page 178 of the contract and not advertised anywhere, almost certainly any court will find it null and void, because people who have their contracts terminated usually don't have to buy people cars. Not illegal but unfair, which makes it deceptive which makes it illegal.
Elon musk promised 155mph for the LA tunnel. In reality you are down to 40mph. Off by 4x. If Elon Musk promises 800mph in the Hyperloop expect to cut off 75% off that so its back to 200mph. Why even bother? It's not like he has any special insight, the only thing he has is the ability to throw money at random projects.

The only things Elon Musk does well are incremental improvements over existing technology, that's not a bad thing but he always throws out bullshit promises that he can do it 10x cheaper or fares only cost one dollar.
