Yes, but only if the previous submission got major attention. Otherwise the repost should go through; we want good stories to have multiple chances at getting attention. (This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html)

In the case where a previous submission did get major attention, it's helpful to post a link to that thread in the duplicate thread. It's nice to point your fellow users to where the big discussion is/was, and it's helpful to moderators because we might not know that the new post is a dupe.

It’s so sad. Google used to be one you could look up to but it has moved so far in the wrong direction. Capitulating to China would be the final straw for me.
If a student has trouble transferring their knowledge of programming fundamentals from one language to another, it seems far more likely they didn't really understand them to begin with, which is a failure of teaching and testing, not some sort of 'limitation' in the student.
I'm guessing yes, because of the "meet almost anyone on the level" comment :)

I'm having the same issue as I'm in a similar age bracket and it's getting harder to make new connections. I've attended Rotary and Lion's club meetings as a guest (they're both community-service organizations) but haven't clicked with the crowd, some chapters seem to imply a prestigious career grants greater chance of membership which is not what I'm looking for.

Except the CCP will favor domestic companies. When things are imported, you have to partner with a domestic Chinese firm.

They're imagining future revenue streams that won't exist. Furthermore, Chinese companies will reach parity and will compete back on the home turf.

But are they real friends or just circles of interest?
I am in general agreement with you, but I think there should be a way for internet platforms to ban certain content. YouTube shouldn't be required to host porn (or anything too raunchy) just because it is a platform.

This would almost certainly lead to young kids seeing porn. I know YouTube has age restriction videos but a parent could easily be signed in to their account which allows NSFW material and the next thing you know a 5 year old would be watching porn.

As long as section 230 exists platforms could remove porn, but it sounds like you would be opposed to allowing YouTube (if they are a platform) from removing porn since it is legal?
Can you link some more sources about the gray zone? Being banned from Wikipedia just makes sense because they are a blog and not a primary source. I would like to see a writeup of what they get wrong because their podcast Moderate Rebels [1] is very informative and well-researched.

My custom-built PC was flagged as not being compatible due to not having TPM 2.0 module. I have an Asus Prime B450M-A motherboard and a Ryzen 7 2700 processor and was surprised that it wasn't compatible.

But it turned out there was an easy fix. Recent AMD processors have a TPM module built into the processor, and it was just a case of heading into the BIOS and turning it on. Now the PC is compatible with Windows 11.
It’s shocking to me how people sell out like this. You have to know deep down that all these hostile short term juicers destroy the brand, each malfeasance creating more room for a competitor. I mean you guys replaced Digg, cmon.

The audacity to claim “it works”, in italics no less.

The real shame of the current tech companies is they have no principles, no long term vision. They all feel like they follow the same curve, a bunch of managers hitting KPIs during their 2-5 year stint before trading up, ending in some PE firm diving in at the end for the final squeeze.

They’re lemons being juiced dry, when they should be a garden of lemon trees.

“But we got 20% more juice than last year!!”

Yea, you did.
I think you'll find that the generalized definition does apply[1] and that Human Rights Watch naturally agrees [2]. In fact it will apply to any ethnostate and Israel does define itself as an ethnostate for Jews.

> I recently read Gates’ book

I hope you didn’t intend to extract any valuable information from that.

> the overriding factor in
building costs is the energy required (and CO2 produced) for construction, heating, and cooling. Unfortunately I didn’t see any mention of energy or carbon in this post.

That’s because when an eco-activist like Gates, who has no clue about environmental economics, talks about “costs”, he is completely bullshitting. Clearly he gave you the wrong impression, at least.

The overriding factor in the cost of essentially everything is energy, if you decompose the cost network far enough.

Obviously engineers and home builders are not stupid and if there was some massive efficiency increase they could exploit, the would do so.
Why wouldn't we want to learn from our mistakes? Ignoring past mistakes is a recipe to repeat them.

That's mostly because of the stock run-up, I recall it was around 3% late last year.
It's also by far the best documented and most consistent hardware out there, especially when it comes to configurations. Yes, it's grotty -- but at least you can figure out where the gunk is.
As someone who wrote and debugged a lot of concurrent code, here's another advice: log everything. Log as much as you could in the part where you think the bug is. Log every line that's run if you have to. You'll then skim through the log file looking for any unexpected patterns.

This approach works better than using a debugger, even on a single-core system, because these kinds of bugs tend to be hard to reproduce and take many iterations. You don't want it to hit a breakpoint a zillion times before it finally shows itself.

And another one, tangential to what you said. Read your code line by line and ask yourself "what would break if a context switch happens right here" for each line.

This.

What Covid showed me was that nearly all of my friends were people I had friendly working relationships with. A ton of my friends were from church where we served in different capacities together and enjoyed working together. And I had a lot of similar relationships at work. But with stay at home covid, I found that I didn't yearn to see these people still. I'm glad when we do stuff together, we enjoy doing so. But I don't miss them. And I found there was a small handful of people that were worth making the effort to actually go on socially distanced walks or whatever to still just hang out.

I am never going back to that super busy over programmed life style where my friends are just the people it's best to get along with friends-like because you're together a lot.
Beating library implementations is usually very easy since you know your use case perfectly and they don't. You need to be way less competent than them to not be able to do something better when you write a tailor made solution. The main reason not to do it is that it takes time and makes the code harder to get into for new hires.

austinvernon.com was taken, I had the ENS name, and I was curious about IPFS, so I used it. The system works surprisingly well, mostly thanks to Cloudflare. I've only been using it for a month, though. And its a static site with zero JS or any analytics. I haven't tried to add it to google search console or anything.
About cost savings, point 1: If you’re putting insulation on the outside, why not also put it between the studs (you can blow it in pretty dang quickly), and perhaps even another 2” of foam insulation inside the studs? You’ll turn an R-20 into an R-40+ wall, reducing the long term cost of the house.

i.e. high efficiency houses.
I learned qbasic, graphing calculator basic, and visual basic more or less on my own. I learned C++ in a mediocre way from the AP course in high school. In university, C++ was the most common language outside of low level architecture courses. I picked up python pretty quickly to make rapid progress on student projects. I pretty much use some combination of C, C++ and python for everything.

I had to use java for a robotics course, and it wasn't too hard to pick up the differences.

I'm going to have to pick up rust in the next few months for work. Reading through the reference manual, it's going to be a bit painful to rewire my brain. So far none of the concepts seem alien, though, just a bit weird.
I found the best thing I did for friendships is moving to the city. Normally I would not do things because it was way too much work to visit people or have them visit me. Now its as simple as them walking back to my apt with me after work and playing games/drinking where it doesn't cost a fortune to have fun like a pub would.

Our urban sprawl/car dependence is probably mostly responsible for the decline in friendships.
I'm a guy in two person startup team, mostly handle the technical stuff. Woke up to see some error on our main work machine, which also hosts some of the services, after a sudo apt update. Wasn't the first time and was usually able to fix by just googling what the error is as on SO and running it. Did it again, told me to uninstall nvidia drivers, proceeded to do so, and bricked my hard disk. Was completely gut wrenching. Although most of the important stuff was backed up on repos, still had to rebuild the damn thing. Still not sure what happened exactly till this day
> If a student has trouble transferring their knowledge of programming fundamentals

“Programming fundamentals” isn’t the same from language to language. It’s inconceivable that a student who learned to program with python would develop the same type of fundamental understanding as a student who used C (to develop an understanding of memory-level APIs) or Haskell (to develop an understanding of type and semantic theories).

> which is a failure of teaching and testing, not some sort of 'limitation' in the student.

This is a bold claim. I don’t think everyone can understand computer science.

For those trying follow along, from Andrew Chen's site:
DAU/MAU is a popular metric for user engagement – it’s the ratio of your daily active users over your monthly active users, expressed as a percentage. Usually apps over 20% are said to be good, and 50%+ is world class.

How did this metric come into use? DAU/MAU has been a popular metric because of Facebook, which popularized the metric. As a result, as they began to talk about it, other consumer apps came to often be judged by the same KPIs. I first encountered DAU/MAU as a ratio during the Facebook Platform days, when it was used to evaluate apps on their platform.
Yes, the engine.

Speaking of sailing, the angle and shape of the sails are both important to maintaining velocity. Racing boats adjust (trim) the shape of the sails all the time.

Merely deflecting the wind obeys conservation of momentum, but conservation of energy in an unpowered sailboat (overcoming losses due to friction) also means extracting energy from the airflow.
It’s unfortunate that CS curriculums lean so heavily on math and proofs.
That honestly doesn't fit with my understanding of how life, the universe and everything works. I did some searching and this source says that 85 percent of people with CF have at least one F508del mutation:

https://pediatricsnationwide.org/2019/11/25/a-major-mileston...

And this source agrees with your statement:

The triple therapy, known as Trikafta, could effectively treat 90% of people with cystic fibrosis.

https://pediatricsnationwide.org/2019/11/25/a-major-mileston...

When I was on CF lists, I was hearing that the first drug in this class that had recently come out only helped five percent of people with CF (I was specifically hearing that it helped people who were double F508del and that was only five percent of all CF patients, IIRC) at a cost of at least $250k annually, so "if you can afford it or live in a country that covers that for you."

I was also hearing people say that some of the stats were dummied up and exaggerated because so much money was at stake.

I left all the CF lists years ago. The figures I'm seeing today don't fit with what's in my head and I don't know how to sort out what's true and what's PR nonsense and it doesn't really matter to me personally. I and my son with CF are both off all drugs and have lived on very little money for years.

Good for them. I'm sure this makes me even more irrelevant, "crazy" and stupid in the eyes of the world than I was already. Which is no big deal. I don't really care. I'm just leaving this comment because I asked you for a citation and then found my own and deleted my comment.

I don't want people to think I'm being a weasel or anything. The articles I'm finding seem to agree with you. I don't know what to make of that and it's not really relevant to my life. I will never have the money for these drugs and don't really care.

Have a good day.

Surely journalists and fact checkers shouldn't claim something is fake just because the person making the claim has said fake things in the past. If they do then they should be fired for completely failing at their job.
If you have to ask between "cushy job" and something else, the answer is often the something else. It's not even a hard choice this time; your something else is also a well paid job, not becoming an artist or professional boxer.

I don't make anywhere near 150k and I live a cushy life. There's an inflection point where more money doesn't make you much happier. Find yours. Past that, you'll start regretting not taking the other options.

Data science jobs are relatively rare and it could take a long time to find. So you could just keep searching for a year or so while using the job to pay your bills.

Staying at your current job isn't a bad option though. The programmer market appears to value people have mixed experience over someone with say 10 years in Java only.
Exactly. A 32 hour employee with same benefits package as a 40 hour employee likely costs the company about 85% of the cost of the 40 hour employee. If you are giving the company 80% value for a 85% of FT investment, it’s a diminished return to the company.
That's a good point. And I do agree with you that, although it may be safer with less distractions, the average consumer would not be willing to give up those comforts. How do you feel about self driving cars?
I think it is possible to teach concepts like variables, loops, conditionals regardless of the language.
On Linux killall lets you killall all processes matching a name.

On Solaris killall kills all processes.

To make matters worse, I used the command on a sever with a hung console -- so it didn't apply immediately, but later in the middle of the day the console got unhung and the main database server went down.

Explaining that this was an earnest error and not something malicious to the PHBs was somewhat ... delicate. "So why did you kill all the processes?" "Because I didn't expect it to do that." "But the command name is kill all?" ...

I think part of it is there's a distance between executives and the departments. They assume that if everything is currently working, there's enough redundancy in place, even if that's not the case at all and people have just been sticking around a bit too long for various life reasons.

I know in my department, it will only take two people leaving to effectively kill the department (myself being one of them), as there's no one else still here who knows enough about the software to support it (there's only four developers in the department, two being temporary help from an office in India)

And I'm interviewing right now, so soon they'll be down to one. How they thought they could get away without letting us train other people in the department for so long when we're supporting software that generates millions of dollars of revenue for large clients they don't want to piss off every year I don't know.

I pushed and asked for a raise for the past three years and have gotten none "Nothing we can do, times are tough right now." I'm sure they'll suddenly find something they can do once I leave, but then it's already too late.

They've even got several big development projects my bosses' boss is pushing for on the horizon, and still trying to do it without any hiring or knowledge transfer. It's idiotic. Large corporation too.

But I'm sure none of the executives knows this is the case with this department, especially since we're one of the smaller ones.

I already have stuck around three more years than I intended to. One of those years I was preparing for our wedding and too exhausted to make other life changes, then I wanted to relax for a few months, then right as I was starting to interview the pandemic came and I decided to stick with my safe and fully remote job a bit longer.

Sucks because if the department dies that will leave about 80 people in limbo (that's about how many non-technical people in the department right now), but I'm done fighting and failing to get more people in the department, and I'm not willing to keep supporting it anymore.
I was hoping for more technical detail other than it uses Kotlin. It'd be nice to know some of the under the hood details.
