The article isn't about "enjoying unaccustomed courtesy and understanding from the world." It's about the author's experience on a year long vacation. "Actually, depression isn't that bad because I don't have to work" has not been the experience of anyone I know. All this article does is minimize the very real suffering that many people are experiencing.

Web developers need to take a step back and realize that plain HTML/CSS can fulfill the needs of 90% of the basic text-on-a-page format of most websites out there, especially with the advances in CSS and form/input controls we've had in the past few years.

When I was putting together the Standard Ebooks website[1], I wanted to take cues from the epub books we were producing: having a classic document-centric format without JS, based on traditional, accessible HTML elements, without frameworks, and with an emphasis on semantic structure without <div> soup.

The result is a site that loads almost instantly, whose HTML transfer is small--12kb for the homepage and 24kb for the ebook grid--whose CSS transfer is 10kb, and whose JS transfer is 0. The bulk of the network transfer goes to the initial download of our self-hosted fonts, and cover images. Yet the site looks perfectly modern and even has effects like grids, form effects, transparency, responsive layout, and dark mode. It's hosted on an inexpensive DO droplet and has survived multiple HN hugs without breaking a sweat.

If you're making a website, chances are high that you're just making a document that maybe is a CRUD app. Plain HTML was designed with documents in mind, HTTP/REST was designed with document display and CRUD in mind, and CSS is advanced enough where we can make it all look really nice. Go back to the basics!

Yes i have, and ARM is significantly more complex than AVR.

If you want to be more specific, AVR has no exceptions/faults and the interrupt priority is hardwired.

Edit: And AVR has only one encoding for instructions, not a big and a small one.
This is a terrific example of a permission that should be opt in.
> For me the perfect balance is to be at the office once a week.

Out of necessity I've been WFH for the past 2 years. While overall I have enjoyed working from home, the issues you describe are real. Once it is no longer necessary for me to be WFH full time, I think one day a week in the office would be ideal.
I have an old dot connected to my stereo to stream music. As they say, it is extremely convenient to be able to request some music and have it played.

My amplifier has a switched outlet on the back that I've plugged the USB into; so if I turn off the amplifier the dot is powered off as well (presumably).

And, apparently, 2nd generation dots don't "support" sidewalk anyhow (though of course it is a little snitch hiding in my living room).

The "smart" TV is more of a concern as it is always on...
I wish they would number these or following a naming convention that has that info integrated.

Unconvinced. Electricity definitely seems like a much bigger deal. Bitcoin is going to take humanity to a new stage of existence? Here comes peak hype, I guess.

In fact, you're so breathlessly ecstatic about the cult of bitcoin that I have to wonder if I'm being spoofed...
Suddenly the ban seems to have been lifted!
GPUs aren't quite the same, because they're (mostly) SIMD. GPUs don't have the independent per-compute-core memory bandwidth required for every core to be running its own execution thread with an independent instruction pointer, independent data fetches, and (especially) non-correlated branch-prediction failures / cache misses. (This is most of the reason that branching, if even implemented in the GPU's ISA, is effectively useless.)

Whereas, what the parent poster is describing would be true MIMD: a bunch of tiny cores each with its own on-board RAM, its own instruction pointer, and then a bus (or a bunch of busses) fast enough to feed them all data from (probably NUMA) main memory.

GPUs don't provide any advantage for running e.g. a high-concurrency Erlang application server. But a true-MIMD system would.

I can definitely write code. I've been doing it quite a while. I've been the "smart guy" to go to with hard problems, at more than one place. Feedback has been very good at most places I've worked. I'm the guy who figures out weird platforms and things like that. I also clean up alright and can talk to people. I'm not bad at the job, and would be, so far as the technical side of things, a good hire for probably 95+% of all software development jobs there are that even somewhat fit in the set of things I've already worked on (which is broad). I'm good under on-the-job pressure (great, even—I kind of like emergencies, in a perverse way. Clears the mind, demands focus on a clear goal.)

I am also 100% certain that I've given interviewers the impression I don't know how to code whatsoever on at least three occasions, including as recently as a couple years ago. Hell, I'll probably do it at least a couple more times before my career's up. I guarantee that the interviewers were chatting after and were like, "see this is why we have to do this, because you get guys like that lying piece-of-shit yahoo, who've somehow had a full career and have great references and can talk about software and processes and architecture and all that, but inexplicably can't code at all".

I'm terribly self-conscious when people watch me code in the context of an interview where they're explicitly judging me so I get very slow even at using tools I'm familiar with ("I think that shortcut does what I want but... what if it doesn't? I'll just do it the slow way, oh no, now I look clumsy and stupid, fuck fuck fuck!"), and I tend to do stuff like forget the syntax to invoke a method in [language X that I've written 500 lines of in the last two weeks] when I start writing with a blank file (no existing syntax to crib off of, and c'mon, can you ask to google shit that basic in an interview? LOL no). Basically I have intense social anxiety but only for specific parts of interviews.

What I can do is talk through architecture, and any amount of conceptually-how-things-fit-together I have in my head, including low-level stuff. I can do 100% of the talking parts of an interview just fine. I'm told I come off exceptionally good in that part, actually (I can't tell, I just go by feedback). I'm sure this just reinforces the impression that I'm some kind of god-tier social manipulator who's, for some unknown reason, decided to scam his way into mid-tier tech jobs rather than applying such outstanding bullshitting skills to something that would pay for them more directly, and probably even be compensated higher if I were that good.

I think it has to do with making money. People on cheap android phones may be less likely to buy your product, so it might not make sense to prioritize their needs.
Anytime anyone leans on the old "think of the children" meme, it should immediately raise suspicions about intent.

Sure, fair as well. It's under emergency use authorization--not technically experimental.

Experimental may be strong, but it at least somewhat aptly describes a vaccine that uses a novel technology that still does not yet have FDA approval.

> pure, unadulterated conspiracy nonsense

My use of experimental seems a bit logical to me, but I understand if you disagree. That said, your dismissal is quite shallow and leads me to believe you're unwilling to have a real discussion on the topic as my opinion is just `unadulterated conspiracy nonsense`.

I believe more speech is the solution to bad speech. If you disagree with me please engage in an honest non-dismissive manner and we'll both become more informed even if you're right, you'll at least understand why I'm misinformed.
I assumed a ships rudder could only turn 90 degrees in the autopilot I worked on. Watching the travel channel about a new cruise ship, they discussed their new jets that rotate 180. They said they had to go back to port to deal with an issue with how far they could rotate.

I wasn’t on that team when that issue came in. But low and behold a senior dev told me “just so you know, you can’t assume a rudder only rotates 90 degrees”. s he told me the story, I put 2+2 together that it was the same cruise ship I watched on TV.

Luckily, you always have manual failovers, and it was an easy fix. But it did at least put some egg on my face :).
This is so clueless you should stop while you are ahead.
I'm seeing the same issue as the parent. I've check the alexa app under account settings and the option does not appear. The last version on the app store is from 2 weeks ago. I wonder if this is a web view and they're exposing it to different users at different times.
This is Google making the first steps to block alternate/privacy centric interfaces such as NewPipe/invidious/youtube-dl. Push back now or never.
I like Elon. What inspiration does, say, Sundar Pichai bring to the world? Do kids look at Tim Cook in awe?

Elon is unique, eccentric and wild. I bet if Feynman was around today on Twitter, he would have been cancelled many-a-times.

People who love/hate him with passion - why? Why are you spending so much personal energy for activism? Has Elon affected your life in a profound way? Why are so invested?

Some people blindly love him like the second coming of Jesus. Some think he is the worst of what the world has to offer. I blame Twitter and social media for this. Populism is a shitty trope. We are also destroying the society for conformism - I personally want the world to be full of wild eccentric people that don’t have the microphone of Twitter to start forming factions. I know so many weirdos in life that definitely have something to offer to the society, despite of their illfitting personalities. Stop cancelling them.

Imagine Elon existed in 1970’s without the internet and Twitter. There would be no activism unless you get together in person. There would be no vile unsubstantiated hatred. He wouldn’t have the social media amplifiers and the public would be mostly interested in the outcomes of their achievements. Everything would be peaceful.
The fundamental problem with take homes is that they produce a huge asymmetry in the cost of interviewing. The company can waste hours of random people's time without having to spend a single minute on them. So while I understand that paying someone for a take home complicates things for some individuals, some kind of contractual agreement that the company will reciprocate some amount of good faith effort is necessary to avoid abuse. Payment is basically a proof of work, and money deposited in my account is a sure way I know of that a company expended some resource on my part. I'd say that even just offering to pay standard contract rates would make me more likely to actually do a take home.
Am I suffering from knowledge blindness? The Taylor series article on Wikipedia doesn't seem to have a particularly impenetrable introduction. There's a couple phrases here and there that read a little bit awkwardly, but I think all the concepts here are covered in most high school mathematics curricula, except for the very end that briefly alludes to some introductory analysis concepts (the "analytic" portion). (Note that some of the concepts such as convergence here have links to additional articles)

> In mathematics, the Taylor series of a function is an infinite sum of terms that are expressed in terms of the function's derivatives at a single point. For most common functions, the function and the sum of its Taylor series are equal near this point. Taylor's series are named after Brook Taylor, who introduced them in 1715.

> If zero is the point where the derivatives are considered, a Taylor series is also called a Maclaurin series, after Colin Maclaurin, who made extensive use of this special case of Taylor series in the 18th century.

> The partial sum formed by the first n + 1 terms of a Taylor series is a polynomial of degree n that is called the nth Taylor polynomial of the function. Taylor polynomials are approximations of a function, which become generally better as n increases. Taylor's theorem gives quantitative estimates on the error introduced by the use of such approximations. If the Taylor series of a function is convergent, its sum is the limit of the infinite sequence of the Taylor polynomials. A function may differ from the sum of its Taylor series, even if its Taylor series is convergent. A function is analytic at a point x if it is equal to the sum of its Taylor series in some open interval (or open disk in the complex plane) containing x. This implies that the function is analytic at every point of the interval (or disk).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series
It sounds like fancy talk for "we don't share the content, we just share the metadata." Or in this case, "we encrypt the content, but we don't encrypt the metadata"

Of course, the metadata has always been more valuable than the exact content of your message, but it's always presented as a negligible detail.
The problem with take home interviews as I see it is that it costs the candidate X time and the company roughly 0 time. This incentives companies to give them to anyone and everyone. So you may be considered a marginal candidate who has little chance of passing unless you prove to be an utter genius in the take home. With in person interviews you'd just get rejected but with a take home they have nothing to lose by giving it to you. So it's a system that can work when few companies do it but utterly implodes at scale.

Outside of maybe Russia and China I don't think any countries have the ability to detect launches, so from the military's perspective it could still be incredibly valuable to be able to send 100 soldiers as backup to a remote cave system in Afghanistan or wherever.

On top of that, this could also have a lot of value even if it's only launched at US-held locations. Logistics can be a big deal: IIRC there were a few years around 2010 where the amount of money that the United States spent on air conditioning in Iraq and Afghanistan was actually larger than NASA's budget. The biggest part of that cost was in transporting fuel for the generators. If some of the worst convoy trips were replaced with rocket resupply missions you'd be potentially saving lives and money.

ABOUT: Mobile application developer with seven years of experience building apps from scratch in areas of pharmacy, insurance, property development, bookkeeping, microfinance, parking services, and banking with 100K+ users.
I'm honestly surprised this is legal at all.
I'm not an extrovert but like the office because I live in a one bedroom apartment and I don't like working from my living room, and at the end of the day, being in my living room.

I do like the social interaction and joking, or venting, with co-workers, even as an introvert.

The best approach is a hybrid model.
I hope we can find a solution where people can choose to work at an office or from home. I expect that the compromises necessary will be difficult. For some, like yourself, meetings were a source of pleasure and are now draining. For others, meetings were a place for dominating (usually male) colleagues to enact competence dramas, often at the expense of more competent but quieter ones. I know some people who already head to the office, but prefer that the meetings are still virtual. For many people getting to the office really is just about having a physical space to work outside the home. So there are a lot of factors. In the end, the market will decide.

I am the same way. I am very sensitive to the emotional states of the people around me. I think most people are. A stressful office environment was a pressure cooker where we stewed all day in each other's stress hormones. My stress was off the charts.
I remember this with a newborn I spent 20 minutes on such a test. Recruiter tells me they said no because code quality so i gave it another shot spending 2 hours. Remember with multiple applications these times added up.

Got to the interview and they were so obsessed about this being written in some “perfect way” (see the enterprise fizz buzz someone linked to) that they knocked me back when I was explaining it at the interview.

It’s the coding equivalent of “ooh so you are not using a suse vide” at a mates bbq.
>Maybe those days are back, with altcoins riding the hype wave again.

For perhaps the most egregious example of this, look at the "Cardano" project. It does nothing, without any apparent plans to even change that. Even their hello world example doesn't run. And yet it is the #4 ranked cryptocurrency, with a market cap of $44 BILLION dollars.

All of it appears to have stemmed from their founders doing these creepy aspirational youtube live streams. If you're still investing in cryptocurrencies at this point, seriously look at that project and tell me that this space is reasonable. This is the 4th most popular project behind Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether (an obvious fraud).
