> Getting a product to sell is the first step

Super tangent on the thread but if you want a product that people are interested in you might think about using a process like Nathan Barry's Authority or 30x500. Not that those are the best or only ways to make a product, of course, but they're at least a direction to take to figure out what people want, need, and buy.
> So you deal with it for a while but then you start complaining "hey man that's really not cool". They don't take you seriously

Far from the truth. How did you surmise that this is what happened? They took it very seriously - the CEO wrote up a whole long postmortem on what happened, why it was a failure of management, and shouldn't happen again, admitting fault for not stepping in to deal with it sooner.
I self host Postgres all the time. I just install it on my server. Sometimes i use RDS if a feel fancy.
i would love to read an example of a technical discussion framed in moral terms. if you’ve got any off the top of your head, i’d appreciate you commenting them.

i suspect, a lot like becoming conscious of the impact the food we choose to eat has on things external to our local context (climate, animal welfare etc), technology decisions choices could be seen through such a lens.

as Frederic Bastiat wrote, there is “that which is seen and that which is not seen”.
I might not be sane (how would I know fully?), but there are several times in my life when I beyond-willingly worked 75-90 hours per week for months on end. I did it to ship a game, and two other internal products at other companies. Those periods look a lot like working, sleeping, eating, and walking among the areas where those activities happen. I loved my life in those periods and had plenty of freedom to choose to do or not do it, probably more than I do now with obligations to provide for my family.
FWIW I observed similar behaviors, but it was caused by the file system (btrfs), not the underlying storage.
* That problem solved.

And so many more created.
To be fair one of the major drivers of quack medicine is that there are still a lot of problems where science based medicine will eventually go "We don't know what's wrong with you, but it's probably not something we can fix, so it just sucks to be you right now."

It may be the best most honest answer, but a lot of people would rather have a name for what's wrong with them, even if there's no cure, and a treatment, even if it doesn't work.
Agree.
That and the fact that customers today are more sophisticated, requiring their vendors to provide the ability to create custom "roles" and "permissions" in the used applications.

By we, do you mean you personally? Or do you have the entire state machinery reporting to you.

You keep talking about ground reality. You mostly seem to be adding to the chaos.

Maybe when all this is over, have the government setup a commission to investigate negligence, profiteering and other acts but how exactly are you helping anyone by spreading more panic

I'd consider myself on the left, progressive etc, concerned about issues of discrimination. But hear hear, the four points you make regarding 'new segregationism' are very, very familiar and I'm truly concerned about it.

In effect it's led me away from the political bloc I tend to vote alongside, because the tone of the discourse is polarising and often reductive. I don't want to be affiliated with it, nor do I want to participate in it.

At the same time, I have even less with the centre right parties, many of whom are entirely satisfied with ignoring or belittling genuine issues and their own partial culpability. And I feel the 'new segregationism' from the left is in large part a reaction to their belief in the right's insistence to see white supremacy (not in the nazi sense, but just in the political sense that white's socioeconomic positions should remain elevated) as the default, just look at the Trump era. It's really hard to seek cooperation with the other side anymore, and in large part I can't say they're wrong either.
Tips for a long lasting Dishwasher:

1: Demand that it's attached to the hot water (machine need less power to heat it up, less chalk...AND Cheaper(your boiler is better at producing hot water))

2: Clean it once a month, especially the pump intake (has often sand like stuff on the ground)

3: DONT use tabs but powder.

However, Industrial grade stuff is more expensive (from the power standpoint), but better for the water (not stupid aromas)

"I added this question as a warm-up question before the other two main questions that are more conventional coding interview questions that involve algorithms and data structures."

It sounds like the other two questions are rehearsed and expected, while the warm-up question is unexpected.
It's a good thing for those "offended" by in-depth configurability that KDE's System Settings now opens to a reduced view called "quick settings". It's the "simple" part of the "Simple by default, powerful when needed" slogan manifesting itself.
Right, if they think customers need less then they can just advertise less. They shouldn't get the benefit of advertising a big number while providing a small number just because most customers can't tell. That will make it impossible to fairly compare them with their competitors.
Im a total nobody, really. Never sat foot on a real university. I heard about the manuscript, saw it was in a library in istanbul, travelled there, went to the library, searched it up on their computer, and they gave me the manuscript on a CD for free.
IP is such a scam.
I don't know what I find more annoying; the ridiculous US copyright system that allows people to copyright almost 'anything'... or the unfathomably stupid people employed by the likes of Amazon, YouTube et al whose policies seem to be "Ban first. Ask questions later... Bu let's not bother with the questions"

It doesn't surprise me that a 200 years dead composer's works are considered subject to copyright when, apparently, even referring to the name of a 1200 year old mediaeval manuscript violates copyright:

Sure, customers can do that. That's how you get quotas, fair usage limits, higher prices when the average usage pattern diverges from the intended use cases before the technology or infrastructure upgrades catch up.
It's interesting to put some perspective on the whole climate change. It's less surprising that humanity went ballistic when physics and engineering freed them from so much.
Well, some of these attacks exploit the actual values present in the memory, not their stored representations. Therefore it would not matter how you encode them on the way, right?

And while we are being so critical of evil Brits I’m sure the phrase has never been uttered by native Dubliners giving their own view of the largely rural regions of their own country?

> Ok. that's the way Google thinks is the way it should work. Or maybe they just recognize that their AI is causing more harm than good.

Let's be clear. It is not Google that wants it. Actually Google is on the side of calling all of this retarded. It is the state of copyright laws, of the DMCA, of the lobbying by the RIAA. The day the whole copyright ecosystem is updated to accept that computers exist and that people share files on internet easily, Youtube will be VERY happy to unplug all these terrible bots that are there to provide a bad solution to a problem we should not have.
Yeah, I’m sure I’ve been on a few over time and yet still an inner drive towards pattern matching and spurious associations leads me to moments of light-heartedness tempered by not wanting to cause offense.
The only defender of the rights holders without money would be the court system, so a court needs to suspend youtube's copyright strike system.
Peek & Cloppenburg was looking for C++ devs with Rust being a plus point for their NRW sites, a couple of months ago,

So at least some German companies are slowly looking into it.

However I fully agree with your post.
Edward is an interesting one- it is an Old English name. Henry III was exceptionally pious, and decided to name his two sons after Anglo-Saxon kings who were saints (Edward the Confessor and Edmund the Martyr).

Of course, William/Guillaume is originally the Norse name Vilhjalmr (the same as the German Wilhelm). While the two elements Wil and Helm exist in Old English names (as in Wilfrid or Anselm), there is no evidence of any Old English name that combines them. Old English sources call the Conqueror "Willelm".
The policies are directly caused by the laws. If google does not react swiftly, it is considered guilty of copyright infringement. Remove the laws, the policies are instantly removes as well.

to your last question—when we develop a vaccine or treatment, it’s about making sure as many people as possible get the minimum degree of protection with the least amount of risk. giving live virus is a tremendous risk, even if you found a way to just give one particle at a time effectively.
When you set your CI/CD pipeline, creating packages, signing them and updating your repositories are all trivial tasks (been there, done that).

In this case, explicitly telling "this is my repository and this is the public key. gnupg the key, add this repository line, and get the packages" provides an end to end verified package pipeline. No .sh scripts to compromise.

If you keep your private keys on a network detached place and only plug your keys while signing stuff, things are pretty secure out of the box.

What did bring you to Kubuntu from openSUSE? I'm just curious, as I've been exploring the latter as a possible alternative to Canonical's offering. Compared to Kubuntu it feels more friendly to enterprise administration than polished for personal use.
It still misses the OCaml compile times, though.
It sounds like this was the diagnosis he was given. I have done extended water fasts for multiple days and often eat keto (<20g carbs per day). And so I am respectfully doubtful about this diagnosis.

Nevertheless, who knows what combination of medical peculiarities might be involved, so I guess it cannot be ruled out.

My prior assumption would still be that a case of burnout/exhaustion, or micro stroke seems like a more probable explanation.

He writes

> talking to other hackers & infosec folk, they have said they've felt similar symptoms. The brain fog after working too hard & too long.

I really get the feeling that being overworked, not resting enough is the problem. I get the feeling that the work ethics and self-concept of being a hard worker makes it somewhat hard to admit that one is being overworked and thus a medical explanation for breakdown is very welcome for some individuals.
Must be a bot. No one with a brain would actually think to post this.
OpenBSD continues to fascinate me. It's impressive that a small team can produce such a coherent operating system and so many add-ons, like httpd, relayd, OpenSSH, pf and various networking tools.

Ignoring the things that happen when we add a desktop environment, everything in the base operating system just feels like it was designed to work together and with a clear guiding principle. Even the documentation is remarkable. It's rare that I can't simply rely on the man pages to figure out how something works.

The main feature for me in this release though is an updated network driver which seems to fix an issue I had where traffic would just pause for a few seconds.
You've honestly never heard a discussion between software developers where people label use of a particularly language, technology or technique X, "wrong", or said something like, "if you're doing Y, you're doing it wrong"? You've never seen the shade people throw at PHP?

Where do you work? Can I join?

More seriously, if you (have nothing better to do than) look through my comment history you'll find a discussion from a few weeks or months back where I chided somebody for saying (I paraphrase), "if you're patching directly in production you're doing it wrong." Granted doing so is far from ideal, and not something I've ever done with any kind of regularity, but occasionally it's the quickest way to resolve an issue whilst you follow proper process with a more involved investigation and fix.

I've found this varies a lot by company I've worked for: it doesn't happen where I work now much at all, but other companies I've worked at many technology choices are either "right" or "wrong". I just don't have the energy or patience for it these days.
To me the whole point of PaaS is not needing to know which components are powering my app. So I don’t get what this is about.

Have you ever tested your think?

People say I think, when they really mean I feel.

And how you feel has nothing to do with how others feel.

There are startups out there that see you and feel there will be great success in hiring you in a CTO role.

They don’t know that you feel like Engineer #56112. They just see a slice of Google that they can inject into their company.

Go test your think
The one caveat is that today all ISPs advertise their plans as "up to" a certain speed very prominently in all marketing material. It's no even fine print or byline. The "fair usage" clause is the kind of thing that's buried deep to hide that they may employ throttling.

Think of a "service" you provide. If your employer was expecting you to deliver peak performance 8h per day, 5 days per week, for the rest of your employment with no exception, would you still accept the salary you get now, or would ask an order of magnitude more? It's just that your employment contract and law introduce some "fine print" to allow downtime, and the chance to make mistakes or run at lower efficiency with no (immediate) termination.

Why is the same so unacceptable when it comes to a product or service you pay for?
> Actually Google is on the side of calling all of this retarded.

Google has the means to make this stop.
The main issue with PHP is not PHP. But an army of bad coders pretending to be engineers.

You can’t solve this problem by improving the infra.

This is the reason why php is a dead end in the long run.
so is Microsoft :)
Yes, and a "crankshaft" isn't something universally understood by non-mech-eng's, a "flank" isn't something universally understood by non-mil-scis, and "leverage" isn't universally understood by non-financiers. That doesn't mean there isn't value in expecting new hires to understand those concepts.

Implementing fizzbuzz successfully requires someone to have the most basic understanding of cause and effect, the ability to reason from that understanding, and the ability to reason abstractly. Nearly all forms of programming require that. So yes, fizzbuzz selects people in the "in group"- the in group of people who are actually potential programmers.
You can use eventfd as a pollable waiting primitive.

But there isn't really ever a reason to mix futexes and event loops. Futexes are not a synchronization primitive, just a waiting strategy. Decouple the two and you can integrate your synchronization primitives with an event loop while still using futexes for the non event-loop cases.
Maybe one somewhat-helpful simple thing you could send them would be a pulse oximeter. If they need to get to a hospital and can't get in, it won't help them much, but it might in some cases be helpful to at least have a thing that at least tells them if they're getting better or worse.

Another option is maybe send them a decent quality room air filter if they're in a city with heavy pollution, so it's one less thing for their lungs to deal with.

It's kind of a tough question; I'm neither a doctor nor have I been around anyone who has gotten Covid, so I don't really know first-hand what's most helpful.
Parent comment was also referring to YouTube's AI marking a benign video as 18+. Google is willing to wrongly punish people via excessive/unfair false positives in the interest of trying to be more advertiser friendly. It's just about money.
What is inflation?

If computer processing power becomes cheaper an cheaper, but real estate housing value double in a decade, we have 2% inflation?
Most blue collar guys I ever worked with would leap at the chance for overtime or holiday double pay. It's the only way they'd really make some money.

The way that salaried employees have kept a very similar mindset even though they don't make an additional dime by working more perplexes me. Although it's sometimes worth it; one good session from 10pm to 4am can sometimes accomplish more real work than three weeks of 9-5 business days.
Thanks, I'll look it up.
Do we have a moral obligation to live for as long as possible?

In basic terms, race describes physical traits, and ethnicity refers to cultural identification.

The physicist simply said that "white man" culture is difficult for natives to adopt or even want to adopt. It is a fairly reasonable statement.
Great idea. There's also Peertube (joinpeertube.org) which is free and open source software. I've seen many content creators migrating there and they're now free from this kind of abuse.

ah, i took moral discussion to be code for political discussion, not actually moral (good vs bad) haha.

in that case, yes. people get dogmatic about the strangest things. depending on my level of give-a-fuck i sometimes dive in deeper, “why do you think this is bad?” etc.

sometimes theres a decent learning opp either for me, discovering a new way that something can cause problems or for them, learning to apply some nuance to their beliefs.

Julia already comes with an interpreter, try starting your session with `julia --compile=min`.

One part of the ongoing effort to reduce latencies is to allow package authors to specify optimization levels on a per-module basis. This is great for plotting packages for example, since they usually don't benefit much from overly aggressive optimizations, so spending less time optimizing codes generally leads to a snappier experience. It is now even possible to opt into a module-specific fully interpreted mode, which can make a lot of sense for typical scripting tasks.
I’m in a machine learning telegram channel. There was one guy recently who came in to ask which new crypto is going to take off. I think there’re many people trying to find the next big thing. Most of them probably waste money.
You praise HN because we can have "meaningful" discussions, yet in the next sentence you ask people not to upvote an article just because the author is not great at communicating his thoughts, and makes some grammar mistakes, completely ignoring the "meaning" of the article.

You feel the need to "urge the people" not to upvote it. However, wouldn't it be more "meaningful" to explain why you do (or do not) agree with what is said, instead of just complaining about grammar?

I personally found the article interesting, even though it's poorly written. Instead of ordering others around, what about urging yourself to refrain from commenting unless you have something meaningful to add to the discussion ;)
What's wrong with that? Because the phrase is itself a cliché or using cliché as an adjective?
The nuance with "public domain sheet music" is that while the instructions of how to play that music is public domain, the recorded performance of such music is not. So when you play moonlight sonata, you have the copyright to that particular performance (recording) and someone else cannot use that without permission. It is somewhat harder to distinguish between recordings of thousands of performances of the same musical piece.

The thing though is that youtube decided not to care. Actually, that is not about caring - the youtube we knew when it first launched was killed because it was an impossible business model if they themselves had the liability for uploaded possibly copyrighted content. So now they say "sort it out between yourselves, go to courts if you want but I will take it down while you do that to not be liable in the worst case".
I don't think the laws are so harsh. It seems like YouTube caved in to the music industry interests so that popular artists continue to premiere their videos on YouTube.
