What do you mean by install?

Arduino's IDE is nice for some boards since you install the software and everything is ready to use, but that is only the case for some boards.

PlatformIO is mildly more difficult to install since it is a two step process: first the VSCode, then the extension. Both steps are easy enough to do and to some people it is preferable since they are already using VSCode.

The difference between Arduino's IDE and PlatformIO come down to installing board support and libraries. Arduino's IDE is probably better if you are using Arduino libraries on a board that it directly supports since the installation process will be nominally easier. If that isn't the case, PlatformIO will likely be significantly easier since it supports more board, frameworks, and libraries.

Ford Patents Tech to Annoy Drivers with In-Car Advertisements
How is it good for the economy? We claim we need all this help from Mexico but then we have to pay people here to? The reason why dems deny it is because they also know it’s a horrible idea.
Dang. The download feature needs a lotttt more attention. I just felt wrong putting out the app without any ability to download what you've created. But without a doubt it needs more cross-platform support.
"Do you worry at all about how that will impact your ability to retire? The drain on your savings?"

I'm not going to be able to retire, and my savings are gone. The end of my life is likely to be quite miserable.

I know my choices have lead to that. They weren't good choices, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. But they are the choices I made and I am reaping the consequences.

If you can hack it, be all career oriented and make good choices that secure your future... more power to you if you can do that for yourself and your family.

"At their core, data scientists exist to create business value with data."

For some DS, this is true. For other DS, they are there to create or maintain a rigorous process so that we can reliable causal inference.

Example: how effective / safe is the covid-19 vaccine on trial. Thinking most of the statisticians in FDA and pharmaceutical companies.
You could just do both: start with relatively modest fines, then escalate if they don't comply.
What is strange is that people have attached a "scientist" label to a role that they say its primary purpose is:

> exist to create business value with data

If you want someone to essentially not be a scientist, don't call them a scientist. Calling them a scientist and then complaining that they are not relentlessly obsessed with creating "business value" is just a broken idea in the first place. The reality is, people have jumped on this label as part of the hype cycle : employers want to pretend they have real data scientist positions so they can look good to their board / investors / PR, and so they can attract top talent, while employees want to put it on their resume because they think these skills will be valuable. Neither is going to get what they want when the hype fades.

It reminds me of how a long (long) time ago programmers used to be called computer scientists. It has taken a few decades but we finally now got to a position where we hire people for roles that actually correspond to what they do ... but I feel like this is now the pathway that ML / data science is on.
Ask HN: Daily Few Hours vs. Few Days/Weeks?
Hi HN, I have been sloooooow to pick up new tech skills (ML/KJ/IH) by allocating an hour or two daily for reading books and solving problems. Often that hour gets missed or the interest wanes after a few days. On the other hand I have had occasional successes in moving a routine coding task forward by staying put for a full day or two. But the latter was possible because it was part of my day job. Which (little progress every day vs deep dives for a few days) has worked better for you for picking up expertise in complex subjects orthogonal to your current?
No problem, I've just added input via QWE-ASD-ZXC :)

> the full sequence data is too long

Sigh. Ever read an early proposal and think "wow, that's such a bad idea - good thing no one will pick up that"? Very not safe - a young naive me thought that reading early CGI, with its short urls passed on command-line, rather than longer urls on stdin. But people lycosed, and found a page, and were guided by it, and it spread, and... became assumed. Oh well.

Here in the future, with IE gone, IIRC browsers permit 80k, bottlenecked on Safari. Base-64 drops thats towards 60k. Of compressed data. Bzip can do a lot, even with JSON. Especially if you help it out.

It's ambient network access, a desirable behaviour which I anticipate our descendants (or their descendants) will take for granted.

Because of the Network Effect the grand total number of Networks you care about will always be... one. So, it doesn't make sense to have a dozen fiercely independent WiFi networks in the same physical volume all of which are, in fact, just offering access to the same network (the Internet) but with separate credentials needed for each.

There have been very slow steps on the obvious way forward here. If you've been a student somewhere civilized in the last couple of decades you might have seen EduRoam. Under EduROAM your credentials from say, the University of Florida, or Stanford work at MIT and NYU, but also in Oxford, and in Tokyo. No more need to maintain separate "guest" networks so that the visiting lecturer's laptop works. But most of us, most of the time, are using dozens of little pointless fiefdoms.
I've always wondered the following:

- What precisely constitutes a burnout?

- How do you objectively differentiate between a challenging situation and over-stressed situation leading to burnout?

- What are the differences in tolerance for stressful situation from person to person? Is it related to certain personalities?

- How to conduct a self-analysis to determine if you're going through a burnout?

- Do other non-software professions go through burnout? Alternatively, is software engineering more prone to burnout?

I've always heard of burnout, but like depression which has specific symptoms and clinical diagnosis, what are the properties, symptoms and characteristics of a burnout?

I am wondering if I am going through one? I like what you said about guilt - I feel like I've gone through hell in workplaces and always curious if I should just "suck-it-in" or quit and find a better job.

Someone was falsely accused of being misogynist ("Stallman never made me feel uncomfortable." - Molly De Blanc, leader of the anti-RMS letter.), transphobic ("My pronouns were always respected by Stallman and the rest of the GNU Project the day my transition was announced, and the same for other trans developers."), and more. I am outraged that HN failed to prevent– or even show balance– in the spread of this misinformation.

I agree, we should _definitely_ update the laws, which is exactly what many organizations are trying to do, like the Humane League.

And I don't doubt that these are not your experiences, and that you've seen far more humane examples. There are many, I'm sure. But the cases of animals being treated as they are in Dominion are not uncommon at all. Like I said, they represent the standard industry practices.

The question then simply becomes when is enough enough? How many animals need to be treated that way before we reject factory farming entirely? Or eating animals entirely?

I _do_ know how many people care about the animals, and it's a lot! Me, you, and probably most folks we know. But it's because I care about them that I don't eat them, and I invite you to do that with me so we can make sure the stuff we see in Dominion isn't only uncommon, but unheard of.

Its not the US but the date of the last well known duel always blows my mind (from Wikipedia):

21 April 1967: The last official duel in the history of France happened between Gaston Defferre and René Ribière, both delegates at the French National Assembly. During an argument in the assembly room, Defferre said to Ribière "shut up, idiot" ("taisez-vous, abruti"). Defferre won the duel after four minutes of sword fighting, wounding his opponent twice.

Don’t feel like you have to go out and live somebody else’s retirement fantasy. The time is yours, so do what you want with it. I spent weeks watching DVDs from the library.

Personally, I liked having a routine and would make a little checklist at the start of every week that I had to do everyday. I remember stuff on it being like:

1. Say hello to someone I don’t already know.

2. Brush 2x and floss.

3. Walk for 1 hour after dinner.

I ended up doing some 500 sit-up program and within a year was doing like 5000 crunches a week. I also said yes to everything I was offered and wouldn’t worry about money too much. If a friend was going to a $5 concert, I could drop everything and go.

I have a lot of good memories from that time. It was amazing to just feel completely free.

I'd say a quantum field is a combination of both information and a rule.

The rule determines the quantum field's next state given it's current state (the schrodinger equation).

The state of the quantum field could probably be considered nothing more than information.
OK, fine. But this is also false. There are many tragedies of the commons that are successfully avoided under capitalism. As you point out, affluent rural areas are one, and the claim that in future these are all automatically going to die off is a post-dated cheque. (Villages in the UK stockbrocker belt have little litter, despite being composed of wealthy incomers.) Another example is cartels. In the end, what's left apart from the uninteresting claim that "constraints influence behaviour"?

Successfully negotiating this realistically means being prepared to walk at most companies that don't already embrace remote work. If you're not prepared to do so, you're not really negotiating as much as asking. If you're asking, expect 'no' for an answer.

> And C++-Rust integration is something Rust has already done in Firefox.

I don't think this is really true.

The simple fact that Rust can't overload functions causes significant grief in a C++/Rust interface, for example.

Personally, I now see C++ as an evolutionary dead end--yes, it's going to continue to exist for a bit until we get a language that is ready for game programmers can use. After that, the fall of C++ will be fast.

This is especially true since we are now back to lots of projects side-stepping the C++ standard libraries. If you're going to do that, why use C++ in the first place?

The simplicity of C is much better suited to being a lingua franca, and much better languages are appearing that can finally be the "Successor to C".

You're argument that not taking the vaccine is not being selfish is that the risk you are taking by forgoing the vaccine is only a threat to other people not a threat to yourself??

Obviously not. Nobody here is a hero. We're talking about an injection with extremely low risk of serious side effects, not storming the beaches of Normandy.
Cool, that sounds really interesting! Forgive me if this is easily Googleable (I couldn’t find it) but what do you do once you have your AAUS certification? Do you get a full time/part time job doing scientific dives for a university, or do you do volunteer research? Do you do your own research or help marine biologists do theirs?
There's something creepy about deciding that it is someone else's job to manage your work-life balance. Who is better positioned to do that than you?

People have to recognize their limitations and negotiate with their employer to make sure the employer does too. Sure, that requires attentive managers but it also requires employees who don't cede control of their lives to their employer.
I think it's a shame, that negotiations have to end up so... damaging.

There's no reason for it, but ego, and emotionalism on both sides. Saying:

"I'm at a point where remote matters to me quite a bit, and I won't sacrifice pay for it. If you can't do it, I'll start applying with those who will, but I thought I owed you the honest truth."

It doesn't need to be emotionally driven. Just honest truth.

And I get that, as you say, bizarrely negative consequences can follow.

Me? I respect the truth. I can work with it. I want to hear it.

Many don't.

Yet, maybe this is an additional indicator of employer value, and potential toxicity?
Yes, they do, but they don't usually share their location to other people 24/7.

What would be the point of that?

I had a love for biology even before programming, though it was kinda difficult to do anything with it outside or reading books I could on partially understand. Of course, even today I’m not sure I could stomach the salary they pay biologists and I’m even open to a pay cut to some degree.
I am not against location sharing for limited amounts of time. It could be reasonable to do, but for that you don't need to share your location 24/7 as some people here imply.
I do not know what “good for the economy” means, but reducing the income/wealth gap is good for society. The upper deciles have had a nice few decades where they have been able to reap the rewards of productivity gains and cheaper prices due to lower wages.
The blurb that comes with this photo doesn't make it obvious who is who, so I did a little more digging.

Defferre was a member of the French Section of the Workers' International at the time (and later became a member of the socialist party in 1969) and is the Mayor of Marseille, Ribière (the one with the darker hair in the photos) is the Socialist Party Candidate for president.

I quit my job and have started a sabbatical of sorts. My last day at work was April 30.

Every day I wake up more and more certain I made the right choice.

I honestly don't really have a desk job and I definitely don't work with iOS daily. It's the 5% edge case. What I do see is our mobile dev constantly jumping through dumb little hoops Apple throws in his way. I'm over here maybe testing a feature or two. He's the one that has to actually fix everything.

But that's largely irrelevant. What is relevent is that I have a pile of all iPhones that all require an apple account to do anything. The little voice inside me that values freedom is outraged. Doubly so when I go on HN and have Apple talking points parroted at me by people who should know better.
