I've never had reason to embellish my resume, but let's not pretend employers don't exaggerate, are "aspirational" or outright lie what the job is about "You'll be working on cutting-edge technology" vs. "Actually, we plan on migrating to that cutting-edge platform soon, in the meantime, add features to our 'legacy' PHP5 and Java 1.7 platforms" and "We offer unlimited vacation" vs. "Everyone usually only takes the week between Christmas and new years as our clients shut down then. Currently, the team really needs your contribution to make the release deadline, so now is not a good time"

Both interviewer and interviewee have to be diligent during interview process to dig out the truth about important aspects of what they expect, and not just take it at face-value (asking pointed questions usually reveals the truth, for either party)
>Often these ‘rebels with a cause’ – also known as positive or constructive “deviants” – may be motivated because they care for the organisation and its mission, and feel psychological discomfort when they see that important capabilities clearly need improvement.

I think this is a crucial distinction - the “rebels” are biased towards improvement.

However, I’ve also seen rule breaking tolerated in organizations as a means of maintaining the status quo which leads to complacency rather than progress.
> Specifically for Stripe, I trust them

The problem with this is that the user isn't trusting Stripe today, they are trusting Stripe today, and all future Stripe managers and owners until the user dies and no longer cares. That's a big bet! Bad CEOs and sales happen.
Thanks for the insights!

Re: Vercel, it's not the $20/mo that's expensive, but their exorbitant bandwidth and serverless charges once you scale to actual production usage. Their plans are great for hobbyist projects that fall within fair use limits, but it gets really expensive to scale up past that. Their CDN cost is something like 10x what Fastly (their underlying backbone) would charge you directly, and a lot more than Cloudfront too. I mean, I get that they have to make profit, but they don't build their own infrastructure (mostly Fastly and a bit of AWS, I believe).

I don't think there are any other hosts that have out-of-the-box support for 100% of Next.js's features (ISR, image loaders, page rewrite rules, etc.). A lot of it only works by magic and only on Vercel. Would love to see Ness keep evolving, and especially if it supports infrastructure other than AWS.

100% Next.js support on Cloudflare would be the holy grail, with an unmetered CDN and super fast, super affordable serverless workers (albeit JS only, no Node).
Yeah, I did OK through the 90s but it was certainly not a high-paying job by current coastal software standards. (I actually looked at a few west coast jobs in that period and, frankly, they'd have been a downgrade because of CoL. Stocks were hit pretty hard, including my shares in my employer, and for various reasons my job during the next decade I generally liked (and it set me up for my current job well) but it didn't pay that well.

It was only really my current job and associated stock which took savings from just OK to pretty decent. I could retire now if I wanted to but not really in a big hurry assuming business travel comes back post-COVID.
> ceremonial going out for chinese food

Wait, what, this is a thing? I'd never heard of that. Like, only the Jews would do it? Or more generally it's common for everyone to go out for Chinese food on Christmas? That has to be regional, if it's true. Kinda funny either way.
Seems like an author that doesn't understand the spirit of FOSS. The nixos team was clearly allowed to use it and include it when asking for some technical merits as to why, and even offering many alternative options to appease the author the author seemed to just childishly stamp their feet and say, "because I said so". Eventually the author took the position of "taking my ball and going home". Why is a person like this even engaged in FOSS if they don't have a desire to share or even engage in a reasoned discussion?
One of the comments:

"As the author of the package that is being re-packaged here. I'm against it being repacked into here.
While licensing wise I cannot stop you, I do hope you can honor my request.

Thank you for considering respecting the author's wishes."

It seems more like a matter of respect than a matter of law.

The Economist certainly doesn't break down easily on the American political spectrum, but in the more coherent language of higher level policy, the Economist is almost 100% liberal.

I agree its a well put together publication, but a socialist (for instance) would argue it is deeply ideological.
The liberal viewpoint is vastly different from the conservative viewpoint, but only if we find a way to communicate and find common ground will we ever hope to move forward together as a nation. Seeing your political opponent as irredeemable is the first step towards sectarianism, which can easily lead to war.

I lean to the right, and yet regularly talk to and see the humanity in liberals on a pretty regular basis. We are all people, even if we see things differently.
The package author has gone on to open issues for their other Python packages too - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/created_by/frenck - currently five open (and locked) issues.
It's been going on for a lot longer than 5 years. Most of the legacy IRC networks (IRCnet, DALnet, EFnet, QuakeNet, Undernet, Rizon) peaked around 2005 and have been shrinking steadily ever since.
It's funny when somewhere in your country is portrayed in an american movie or series.
Not exactly flicker, but I have one monitor that makes an audible whining noise when certain spreadsheets are open and the window is sized above a certain % of the screen space.

It's maddening, but IT won't swap it out for me.

I say certain spreadsheet, but really it's something about the formatting and contents of a single page in that sheet. Open in Excel, noise. Snipping tool snip of the screen, also noise. That page printed to PDF and opened, however, does not make noise.
Wasn't aware of this, but cool move on ARM side! Thanks for the tip!

Looking at the code [1], some of files are indeed copyrighted to ARM. So they are actually providing some data. Also, the linked story mentions that qcom is also providing some support to thee opensource driver. Pardon my ignorance here.

About half of my Jewish friends celebrate Christmas. And my one Muslim friend (that immigrated from a Muslim majority country) celebrates it too. He also has gotten into the habit of saying "god bless" because I guess they say that a lot in Georgia?
Can someone elucidate why he is so against "his" code being used in this project?
I shouldn’t have used the term “contract” there because I was thinking more about interpersonal obligation than legal obligation.
While I don't disagree with you, the problem the author is saying is that end users don't realize that, and contact the author directly even when they are using an out-of-date package from a distribution, and the author doesn't have an immediate way to determine whether the problem is with their code at the version they released, or an older packaged version.

While it's technically true that a free software author owes nothing to any of their users, it's a legitimate problem that there's no good way to selectively offer help and support to those getting the software directly but not to those getting it from a package.
I've seen more jobs offer like 10% yearly bonuses for the reason that I assume is the ability to cut back on costs in a pinch without touching the salary itself per se.
This is why we can’t have nice things.

The project could have pinned the version and downloaded from pypi rather than repackaging.

This isn’t a situation of “can do” it was “is it nice to do.”

And the author mentioned that he’s changing the license to prevent it so it no longer becomes possible legally.

I typically don’t like authors demanding stuff outside their license, but this started as a simple technical/community request to not do something dumb and escalated.
While blog posts aren't ideal they're (like you point out) better than nothing. But blogging goes completely against the grain of how Apple operates internally. The WebKit blog is a singular notable exception because that's a highly visible Open Source project. Even the free-form Q&A portions of WWDC sessions are rarely as frank as they should be in terms of usability.

No blogs is fine, that's just the corporate culture, but no blogs and no good up to date architectural documentation is a huge problem. It leads to cargo-cult understanding or complete misunderstandings by outside developers. Hell, it leads to cargo-cult understanding by internal developers.
Sometimes I can. When the stars are correctly aligned.

Some days I can’t. The worst days it feels like I’ve subtracted ~40 points from my IQ.

So it depends.

I’ve read a lot of articles, seen a lot of videos about procrastination (of course, when I had other things to do).

But this one was an interesting lecture. Even if it sounds stupidly simple, I found it really helpful to link procrastination and level of anxiety and I’m glad it helped me put words on how my feelings are.

Thank you
"product images with models" Some of our customer has requested this service and we are doing it for them. There is difference: we use a large deep learning model that has higher latency and we do more QA on these images.

The pricing will be obviously more expensive. We charge slightly cheaper than market rate with more realistic image quality.

"Also, what's the smallest store you're willing to work with (min # of SKU)?"

There's not strict line. a store with a few hundred SKUs would work well. It depends on how shoppers's shopping habits: we noticed for smaller shop, shoppers more often come looking for specific items than browsing. Our product is more valuable for shopper with exploratory mindset.
Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese I know do have a Xmas, most of whom are not Christian.

And if I know someone celebrate Chanukah I’ll say happy Chanukah. Is that wrong?
There was a lot of uproar from middle and upper middle class people when the original healthcare reform proposals in 2009 involved getting rid of all employer sponsored health plans.

Many leaders at that time did want to dump everyone into one insurance market so all healthy people subsidized all sick people, but there was tons of politics blowback from people who already had access to good healthcare who would see their costs rise because until then, they only had to share costs between healthy, employed workers.

Even today, you will read people lamenting how the ACA increased their health insurance premiums. Nevermind that it enabled millions more to actually get healthcare, so obviously the money was going to have to come from somewhere.
Curious what browser you use that doesn't have lockin and is audited?
Hi! I fly in DCS competitively and I deal with this a lot so here's my understanding.

You need to "Notch" or beam against the missile itself if it's an Active Radar Missile or Fox-3. The jet's radar isn't good enough for terminal guidance. However if the firing jet is close enough it can maintain a pulse STT which cannot be notched and the missile will stay in Semi-Active mode and follow your beam to the target.

However in a Beyond Visual Range fight usually you can't stay nose on to the enemy since he will be firing his own missiles. Most missiles will be fired in Active mode (Fire and Forget) followed by evasive maneuvering once they enter their terminal phase and "Go Active." TWS launched active missiles will usually go active within some pre-calculated distance based on target size.

Newer missiles probably use better guidance but they are all pretty freaking secret. Computer vision would make for some seriously effective datalink guided missiles. But the kind of computers you can stick in the front of a 335lb solid rocket propelled tube that pulls 10-20Gs is very limited. Mostly just: "Go after jet shaped hot thing" or "Go after metal thing that moves fast."

We haven't really seen that level of air combat in real life though. Typically you would only see fights like that in a symmetric situation. (EG: India vs. Pakistan, China vs. Russia) Most jets shot down by AAMRAMS from the US are 3rd generation fighters sold to second world countries. Typically we require visual ID and warnings in rules of engagement making BVR impossible.
Imagine pouring a bunch of water on the floor that picks up and carries the dust some distance, then 2 seconds later the water is gone and the dust is deposited in its new location.

It's fantastically effective for carrying crud out from under difficult-to-move equipment, to somewhere you can easily sweep it up.
I found it was easier and quicker to message the person who shared a doc with me and get them to resend the link than it was to use the Drive search.

christianity, islam, hinduism, along with the eastern constellation of buddhism/confucianism are the 4 world religions. people of color are roughly 4/5 of the world population. even while christianity and white folks are the majority in the US, it makes sense numerically to have these other aspects of humanity well represented, in addition to white and/or christian. what's puzzling is the outsized representation of jews/judaism (also roughly 1%) in american media considering the stark underrepresentation of black, brown, and asian folks, who account for nearly half of the population (and growing).
Frankly I don't have the time in my day to entertain every perspective and still enjoy life.
This is funny timing. My neighbor is the CTO at a company managing identity and building out frameworks and products to help other companies do it themselves. He was trying to pitch me on joining. Sounded neat until I found out how much they focus on the blockchain. It's far too likely it's a gimmick tacked on for no reason but getting hype and investment. Blockchain just attracts all the wrong people in my experience.

This looks cool though, and no gimmicks.
(Disclaimer: I'm an amateur Chinese fan for one year.)

I understand and respect the difference between the two definitions of etymology given. I also agree that tracking the actual changes in character composition and contemporary usage, as etymology, is the better definition. But having no academic experience with Chinese yet, and relying only on the Internet and natives to explain "the meaning behind the symbols", I find that this looser definition, which could perhaps also be called pictographic decomposition, is an adventure into the web of meaning. This is perhaps not the exact history of a word or a character, but perhaps like the 90s JPEGs, you get a certain resolution by knowing the literal meaning of a single character or word's components, and then later on, track the full extent of Chinese etymology.
I haven't read Fall, because one of my buds told me it was even worse than Seveneves :/
how is that different from credit cards?
I would be in favor of reclaiming some words like "News" with regulatory controls. Just like the FDA doesn't allow someone to label their product as "Organic" without meeting certain standards, I would argue that we should enforce some basic standards in order to label yourself as "News" or "Media Organization." It would be a slippery slope to navigate with the first amendment and the internet but there is a large group of citizens that will believe anything if it was on TV and came from the "News."
Oh yes, it is definitely a thing - and really only a jewish thing that I know of. I grew up in the mid-atlantic, but it is definitely also a thing in NYC.

If you need to transmit data over an unreliable link where retransmission isn't practical you will want some sort of FEC. If hardware isn't available to do the job then it gets done in software.
Maybe they don't cover the same things because the "things" are like their flags they are using to signal each other. It's like two different gangs using different symbolism to communicate with their own members. They don't need to talk to the other side, they need to instead rally their own side.

Maybe study each side like you're studying a gang. Get to know the symbolism and language.

I am reminded of jwz, debian, and xscreensaver (Not linking to jwz's blog from HN because... he doesn't want it to be.)
While I generally agree, and own myself, there are some clear downsides to owning that may not have made your math.

* Cost of maintenance and upgrades. You now have to mow your grass or pay someone to mow it. You now need to shovel your driveway or pay someone to do it. When the toilet breaks, you now need to pay for it. When your roof wears out, you now need to replace it. If you don't replace carpeting and replace appliances, your value will slowly drop. A house is basically slowly falling apart, and with no work/money will lose value each year.

At my previous house, I put roughly 5% of my purchase price into all of this junk, per year. So on a 300k house, that works out to like 15k a year, or $1,250 per month. Depending how new or old your house is, sometimes this number can change a little... but it really adds up quite a bit.

* Exposure to real estate market. If you rent and property values double (or half), I doubt you care that much (maybe rent goes up and you move out). If you own and property values plummet (see Las Vegas in 2012), you can be really screwed. You are a lot safer from all this kind of stuff by renting. Yes you miss the gains when the market goes up, but you are protected from the falls.

* Cost to sell. Costs about 10% of your final selling price to unload a house. Stay there for 10 years and the house appreciated? Awesome, you can take it out of our appreciation. But imagine your house stayed flat or lost 10% of it's value? You need to pay another 10% on TOP of that to unload it. Again, compared to renter... the renter can just move out.

Author here; would love any feedback and especially pull requests! :D

I made Ness for me, and continue to shape it around my needs, but I'd love to see that others find it useful.

I view it as an abstraction on top of web deploys, standing up all of the boilerplate stuff you need when deploying web projects.

Also, I'm adding Next.js ISR support as I type this.
Or just “I was working on different projects”
So what's the argument here? Christians are represented proportionately in films if we count secular Americans as Christians?
I agree, it's a traditional conservative business view point: less regulation, free trade, free press, democratic government with a strong fair legal system.
One thing that comes to mind on this topic is that I neve rhear anyone discuss the genealogy of moral outrage in recent America culture. Daytime TV in the 90s was _all_ moral outrage and proto-reality TV as theatre of legalo-moral adjudication: Jerry Springer (the vulgar pinnacle of it), The People's Court, Judge Joe Brown, Riki Lake, etc etc. Americans had already proven market fit for "outrage media" a long time ago.
The package author lays out the reasons in his comments
> Which is why the blanket "lying media" and "fake news" rhetoric is so dangerous. It removes that trust—often unjustifiably

No, often justifiably. If the media didn't lie so often and so consistently, they wouldn't have a problem rebutting accusations of lying.

> without specifying what other institutions or processes can be trusted instead for reliable information

That's the problem: there aren't any. Our society has no institutions that can be trusted for reliable information.
Where do you read about his personal history to this extent?
Quite correct. Just like “GB” (“Great Britain” or “Grand Bretagne” in the original French) means “large Brittany”.
Runtastic had apps that used to do this, where you held the phone and it counted the reps, push-ups, sit-ups etc. There were apps for each activity, which gave you reps, a count, and a timer, along with cooldown, with voice prompts.

Then Adidas bought them out and closed the individual apps and released a replacement for the main Runtastic app.

There were numerous threads on reddit asking for similar replacements, and I don't think there has been one. So I gave up looking.
As a Firefox user, I'm not completely surprised. There are multiple video call applications I tried to use that didn't work on Firefox (on Linux at least). I personally have Chrome installed for the sole purpose of resolving those situations and go right back to FF. I'm scared though for FireFox, because they aren't doing too hot. I don't want a Google dominated web. Having the only two real web competitors be Apple and Google is a terrifying idea. Hell, it doesn't event have to be FireFox, I just want some more competition, but browsers are so complex at this point that I don't think we can ever get to that point.
He says early in the thread:

> If users experiencing issues with the ambee library in this package, they will knock on my door. And I'm not willing to support that or accept that burden. Especially as I don't see a good repacking reason in this case.
> The point is that Christianity has become so normalized to you that you don't recognize Christian celebration as religious.

So? Doesn't that just serve to lessen its overall religiousness? I mean, Christmas's traditions are themselves derived from pagan solstice celebrations. Wouldn't that make it a pagan institution by your reasoning?

Much like how Christians adopted pre-existing traditions and slapped a Jesus-shaped label on them, people are now slapping a secularity (or, I would argue, consumerist) label on to Christmas traditions.
I started with a trainer one year ago next week, doing 2 days per week with him and one day of "plyometric" drop-set/super-sets (which seems to be a fancy way of saying workout almost to failure).

Total time investment? 30 minutes, 3 times per week.

My entire physique has changed, including greatly increased muscle mass, energy levels, and stamina to do whatever physical activity. I've also dropped 30 pounds and have completely eliminated back problems.
As the author says, that can be fixed with a relicensing.

Just because you're legally entitled to be a pain doesn't mean this leads to good things. If the source owner has a polite request, honoring that is usually the best course of action, independent of what the law says. (Ask people who thought image hotlinking was OK even against requests, and how goatse looked on their page)

"It's legal" doesn't mean that it's decent behavior.

The Left thought it was hilarious when Trump's Secret Service moved him to the bunker when violent protesters were threatening to breach the security of the White House. I remember late night jokes, CNN/MSNBC mocking of how big a coward Trump was, etc. It was a great deal of fun and tied in with the lies about how supposedly Trump had peaceful protesters cleared out of Lafayette Park for a photo op. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/06/09/lafa...

"HRC never said she’d be reinstated by August."

Hillary Clinton spent years claiming that the election of Trump was illegitimate.

Has Stacey Abrams even conceded the Georgia gubernatorial election yet?

It's pretty rich for a party that claimed that George W. Bush was the "Commander in thief" and has Congressionally protested all the recent elections gets upset when Republicans did the exact same thing for even better reasons. The 2020 election was ridiculous. Democrats used the excuse of COVID to change election laws in multiple states while mass-mailing millions of ballots. They created an environment that was ripe for corruption and then assumed shocked faces as corruption was alleged.
