We make a product in the same collaboration space as Notion but we're a younger company. Our latest stuff is all Lit (what became of LitElement and Polymer). Today, web components in general (and Lit in particular) work really well on all modern browsers.

For us, with the current state of web components, we see this as the ideal time to move to all web component UIs going forward. We view it as a strategic advantage.
smoldesu is pathologically anti-Apple, so the fact that this thread related to Apple instantly guaranteed their pissing and moaning, dismissive response. Don't take it as a sincere argument.
Thank you. That references the blog at https://beautifulracket.com/appendix/why-i-no-longer-contrib....

At the beginning: "No facts were disputed. The inci­dents were numerous, happening over a period of years. They were always witnessed by others on the Racket core team. For that reason, there’s no need to enumerate the details now. Though I will give one example as illus­tra­tion"

If there was no need to enumerate details, why did he write an additional 12 pages in a blog post?

This whole incident, whatever it was or is, seems like two personalities with egos that won't stop. That's not something I care about.
I stand corrected.

That said, I think it's safe to say nobody is prepared for what will happen if this became the norm.
The hard part for me is trying to figure out if "I was depressed" means "I had depression" or "I was experiencing sadness".
I’ve seen this claimed for multiple job pre-vetting sites and am not convinced it does anything than add an extra layer of test interviews.
This is true, at least of developers who lack both experience and impressive credentials. A new grad from, say, UC Berkeley might be fine, a new grad from my own alma mater (which has a direction in its name) will often struggle, and a hobbyist without a CS degree has an even bigger uphill battle.

The reason we didn't talk about it as much in the main post is that our approach to the problem of credentials hasn't changed all that much. We still have quizzes, and someone who is having a hard time getting their foot in the door (a) is likely to be willing to put in the effort to take them and (b) will benefit from doing so. That's not a complete solution to the problem (it helps people with skills get hired, but doesn't in itself help people get skills that you only get on the job), but it's better than the status quo.

We haven't forgotten about people struggling as they look for their first job. (And I certainly never will: to get personal for a sec, my first job search was a miserable multi-year affair that nearly killed me.) We've got some experimental irons in the fire here (e.g. a program that basically highlights people who haven't gotten as much attention as they 'should' based on their skills) that we're not quite ready to talk about in great detail. If they work, you'll hear more about them soon. If they don't, we'll try something else.
I mean, most headphones don’t have accel/gyro - makes sense for Apple to use proprietary protocols for this, no? Also, see HN guidelines for comments.
Flags are from users. So to some extent it's random personal opinion and unless you identified all individuals who flagged it and asked them why?, you aren't going to actually know, though it is fairly common for someone to give their opinion about why they think it was likely flagged (and sometimes I appreciate their observations and sometimes I'm kind of like "That's just your opinion, man!").

How Lockdowns Crushed the Working Class While Leaving Elites Unscathed
People worry about government regulations to cryptocurrency adoption... This seems much more of a threat: trivially easy internet cutoff
This. Exactly this. People seem to forget that whole industries and careers in the tens if not hundreds of thousands would be overturned at the stroke of a pen, even if it is a good idea for lots of reasons. And the people with a vested stake in the status quo are going to fight like hell to keep it. Ending the war on drugs needs to be practically unwound in a manner that doesn't trigger a huge special interest outcry that will thwart any and all progress.
this is also adds more to the importance of recycling electronics. I always try buy used thinkpad's to give to my folks back in africa. because end of day thinkpad's are excellent hardware and will continue to be. plus easily repairable. hopefully one day, someone I give a thinkpad to, will use to nurture some talent.
Does it even matter?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_structure#Windows_10

The AppData folder is for per-user files (config files), whereas Program Files is for files that can be shared system-wide (e.g. executables).

Linux/UNIX also do this. When you install sth system-wide (requires sudo) on those OS, the executables usually go to /usr/local/bin, and a hidden directory with the program's name under your home is created (for example, .docker) for config files.
Yes, I agree with you. Its not bad, its just "curious" how things evolve
I bet Ronaldo will move the drinks again, and I think he should. Without the players there is no game.

I totally agree - there are real possibilities to do interesting new creative work afforded by this, particularly if the barriers to entry are kept low/non-proprietary/open-to-all (…as another poster noted, it would have perhaps been nice if an open standard had been used instead…). I would only add that I think there are even more interesting possibilities for using the same technological capabilities with AR. That was the focus of the iPhone app. I wrote, which was more along the lines of Microsoft Soundscape:

What would it matter if you had a name to attach to it? The result would be the same, and such a discovery would have little to no effect.
The new Evernote desktop app is terrible. It’s slow as molasses (Electron?), search is not reliable, and without connectivity it doesn’t work (you don’t see your local notes). Adding notes via the dedicated email address doesn’t work anymore. They are adding new features of little or no value while letting the essentials rot.
I’m a long time paying customer, and I have been recommending it to many people, but now I’m preparing to leave too.

"Hustle Mentality" really ruins a lot of the magic of this statement (hence why this post needed to exist in the first place). That and ad revenue.

Well said.
Sounds like you hit a niche and solved hard problems for companies. Unfortunately not a niche big enough for a company that's taken 10+ million in VC money.
Actually serious. He was hired earlier this year.
That's pretty much me. I have a few friends that have severe depression, some with suicide attempts, some that ruminate a lot at night and have their minds go to scary places. For me I just keep putting on pounds and sometimes I don't sleep at all for a night, but I can usually function "normally". I've had a few bad experiences with psychologist when I was younger which makes me a bit sceptict of them and I don't like opening up to other people. I should probably try some medication but I don't know if I have it in me.
I had a family member who had the same drive, and after one too many times of me getting locked out while I'm bringing in things from the car, the New Rule™ was that if I'm actively using the door, it is stopped fully open, and the Habitual Locker is not allowed to touch it without coming outside to help carry things in, no exceptions.

It actually worked out quite well!
Canceling debt creates a taxable event for the person with the debt under the tax code. Transferring money to a person and then voiding the liability is indistinguishable from unearned income, and is taxed as such. People aren't going to be very happy when they get hit with an unexpected $10k tax bill due immediately.

Similarly, the people with the largest student loan debt tend to be affluent. Gifting the affluent more money than a poor person who could not afford school may be able to save in their lifetime is a bad look politically, and would be deeply unfair.
In the long term, I think California is in deep trouble. When the population of California began to grow rapidly at the end of the 19th century, the climate history of California was very poorly understood. Unbeknownst to Californians at that time, California was actually in the middle of an unusually wet spell; for most of the previous thousand years, Californian weather was much drier than California was in the 19th and 20th centuries when the population exploded.

Interesting... you've probably considered this but, sounds like to solve that problem you could just have an option for companies to subscribe, or be on contingency? Then the companies hiring for juniors can subscribe and the folks looking for harder hires can be on contingency?

"But it means that once a company signs up, they want to make as many hires as possible through us.", right, but as a hiring manager that doesn't make sense to me... I don't care that we're making hires to justify where we spend our sourcing money. I care that we're making great hires, so I want to cast as wide a net as possible. I'm not going to shut my eyes to other sources because I've paid for triplebyte. But maybe in bigger companies I wouldn't be the one making purchasing decisions? And the folks making those decisions would be pushing HMs to use Triplebyte?

It is interesting, how the incentives align and don't align sometimes. Hard to say if I'm even in the target market (raised $15m, hiring a few folks this year in the "hardest" category, #1 problem is qualified folks at top-o-funnel).

Maybe I also have a personal penchant for seeing companies who bet on themselves and clearly align incentives :shrug:
How can it be "locked"? Can't they deploy a protocol update to the members of the compute pool?

> going to Harvard instead of Berkeley is also worth about 10 percentage points.

That's interesting to me. Most reputable rankings put Berkeley at #2 or #3, and Harvard is usually around #7 or #8 (and US News puts them at #16!). I wonder what the cause of that discrepancy is.
Reading the comments on financial articles on HN makes me question the comments on the stuff I don't actually know something about.
Another one bites the dust.

my advice for triplebyte is to partner with leetcode and establish an industry-wide coding certificate, kind of like those SAT or GRE tests that you pass once and apply everywhere.
While I love the commentary and found it funny, it would more accurately be "life before and after a huge volume of messages". Kafka isn't the problem in this specific case.
Just as bank lending creates money, paying back bank loans destroys money. Money is also created or destroyed by banks purchasing or selling debt assets such as government bonds.

Yea that's where I was going with asking why. It feels like it's a trendy thing is to convert a technical thing into a children's book. (Which is odd.. children don't need that book.. so it's for an adult that wants to consume children's literature)

Note: I'm not against creative attempts to explain technical concepts. But the form to me seems odd, and that it feels like we're producing very short tutorials in a childrens format. That's even weirder.
Long, long time ago, athletes played for a season and then earned a living at their actual careers. It is all about sponsors if athletes want to make the money they've grown accustomed to.

Whenever I delve into this stuff in depth it feels like people are explaining the world's most complicated PID controller for dealing with the human economy, which is itself a product of human psychology. Since no one understands the latter, it seems like economics is just the constant over-fitting of mathematics to the incomprehensible.
Did the jerseys and stadiums covered by advertisements and logos not clue people in?
> At least for me it seems that jazz is meant to be listened to by musicians.

I get where you're coming from, I didn't get into jazz until I started playing myself. You can certainly appreciate it more when you understand what goes into it and why. Same goes for so many things in life.

That said Miles' album Kind of Blue which has been mentioned here I think is an album that can be appreciated by anyone and for me personally served as a gateway to more complicated jazz. There aren't any fast-moving complex harmonies, the framework of the songs are simple. Coltrane's and Cannonball's solos are fast on some songs, but not that complex or weird to a non-trained ear (I'd assume) and they are also very melodic (especially Cannonball's).
Everyone should know that free markets can allocate resources better than any central planner

for the most part yes, but market failure is a thing... 1929 being the best example...

and what the fed is doing is reacting to trends to prevent the system from tilting out of control, not centrally planning things (when the fed starts making 5-year plans then we can talk)

Oh, I so much hope you are right and he does that. It'd be so fun. In the end of the day, even if they fine him, that will increase his personal brand value :D
>But given that they want to go from Mongo to a graph DB, the fear is that this is someone who is only chasing the next cool technology and not solving an underlying business problem.

To be fair to the teach lead, I do feel like it was the other way around. MongoDB was foisted on us on a new project (we were previously SQL) by a software architect who left soon after. I've never felt that MongoDB was a good fit for what we want to do, but I want to return to SQL.
It'd be lovely to see that Naomi Osaka wasn't a one-off, and that athletes are taking back control. Hoping the drinks get moved again, and then Uefa can find out how well soccer works without the players if they want.
I feel like this being in the open is par for course nowadays. Sponsors, and indirectly through the broadcasters, hold enormous power over modern sports. Coca-Cola is spending some millions of dollars on this campaign, and it’s a bad look when the players actively diminish their product. Ronaldo is one of the most popular players in the world, if not the most, and kids look up to him. They can’t have this, and I’m sure execs were immediately calling their buddies at UEFA.

I side with Ronaldo, drink more water and not the sugary stuff.
I'm inclined to agree with you. When teaching someone programming, there's something comforting about telling them they can just open up a command prompt and type "python" (or irb, perl, etc) and start programming.

I recently wrote a short Ruby program to help my not-computer-literate-at-all mother automate a task that would've taken hours and hours to do manually. She's barely comfortable using GUI programs, but because Ruby was already installed and I was able to give her clear directions she was able to run the program in Terminal.app without much trouble. It would've been frustrating as hell to remotely get her set up with homebrew (or whatever the new hotness is in package managers nowawadays), install the right version of Ruby, fix any $PATH shenanigans, etc.

(There was still some trickiness because her included version of Ruby was super old and couldn't install gems because it used an old version of SSL/TLS, but we were able to figure out a workaround)
The request for forgiveness is indicative of the desire to restore the relationship, as the other steps can be fulfilled in the absence of that desire.

The capacity of such a request to be manipulative is dependent on first, the sincerity of the desire, and second, on the degree to which the injured party feels compelled to forgive. We do a disservice in the extent that we inculcate an expectation that a request for forgiveness must be granted, as coerced or compelled forgiveness is not meaningful as it does not represent a restoration of the relationship that was damaged.

Programming verbally over the phone is a skill that requires learning.

I can run a marathon but I can't run 100. Your interview is one of many that I am making time over lunch. I'm tired and getting a perfect mark on a take home isn't as important as getting it done quickly so I can find time to apply to other positions before I go back to work.

If you are not paying someone to do the interview you are not going to get anyone's best. Even if you pay people are trying to juggle things to get the interview to work.

And to the parent post. 50% of people being late means they took the time out to talk to you and come to your offices and didn't gage the time or didn't think it mattered. That doesn't make them bad programmers and shouldn't even matter to the interviewer. Was the car service the employer used late picking the employee or did they have to come on their own?
Why is this flagged?? It seems very relevant to the HN community. You can't allow the criticism post to stay up and attract hundreds of comments and then flag the apology post.
In bodies with testicles, low T (from a number of possible causes) can be even worse than just depression: inability to concentrate, confusion, alertness, consciousness, memory, anxiety, social, and sleep problems. You don't want this.

Maslow's hierarchy things help: Sleep (where possible), diet, water, exercise (HIIT cardio and weightlifting), get outside, routine, defuse catastrophizing thoughts with reality, and not everything is as hard as it may seem (no mind, grasshoppa).

Avoid: alcohol, walnuts, almonds, soy, licorice root (black licorice candy), mint, certain oils (canola, corn, cottonseed, soybean, flaxseed, sunflower, safflower, palm kernel, "vegetable"), sugar/HFCS, carbs, trans-fats, and excessive omega-3.

$4 billions in lost market capitalization for KO, pretty sure there were some calls made in the following days after the incident
Companies just adjust their definition of "qualified" upwards until it looks like there are too few qualified candidates, then call it a shortage.
Have you tried picking a page or two and reading them a few times a day every day? When learning to read sheet music you do this, and as your brain begins to remember and anticipate what comes next your eyes get used to moving quicker. Just a thought, as I don't have issues with reading text, but might be worth trying.
It feels like the fundamental issue here is shared mutable state, and much of the solution is to just not have that.

I don't believe this requires a change to async-await though. It just means you want to wrap up your async-await in its own synchronization primitive, or just avoid the need for it.

This is easy to do with a channel system, or an actor system, where the queue is the synchronizing primitive. An actor's message handler can internally be asynchronous, so long as it processes messages one at a time (but it can yield during processing to another actor).

We can get actors in rust pretty trivially imo. It's just a task with state and a message interface.

Yes - it does seems a shame and potentially a loss to developers/the open source community? Surely an open standard like Ambisonics would have had more of a chance of being widely adopted/supported and therefore perhaps longer-lived anyhow (was just thinking about MIDI)… I guess that’s not the end goal for Apple?
Sure, but this was never one of those things.
