This is outdated in some ways: South Africa formally adopted IEC 60906-1 (Type N) years ago as SANS 164-2 to replace its use of Type M (SANS 164-1). It was adopted as an optional local standard in 1992, the preferred standard in 2013, and mandatory for new installations in 2015.

IEC 60906-1 was developed to be the standardised global standard, with the intention of rolling it out across the EU first. However that didn't happen and so far South Africa is the only country that has chosen to adopt it.

Brazil and Switzerland have closely-related local forms of IEC 60906-1, but neither is fully compatible.

I use a small tab of yellow sticky note. I use it not due to attacks but rather for the many dumb teleconferencing apps I have to use at work.

Some automatically send video, some don’t. I try to configure them not to start video by default but for whatever reason, one of them always does.
This article only scratches the surface. There are at least 241 NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) configurations in the USA. Each serves a purpose. Each voltage/amperage combo gets one in straight blade and locking. This prevents people from plugging into something dangerous. Also, there is support for obsolete stuff, such as two-wire.
There's something to be said for the more recent thinkpads that have physical sliders built into the laptop.
The reverse argument makes as much, if not more, sense : rents in cities are far too high, the economy is too concentrated and it has negative side effects on quality of life, health, political stability, wealth disparity and growth. Deploying more infrastructure to cheaper areas and insentivizing decentralization helps solving that.
I believe it is most definitely easier to read/maintain -- restricted to that small domain-specific function. Some greek letters have very specific meanings, replacing them with long-ass names straight up worsens readability. Writing out density, velocityX, etc will quickly fade the core logic of that function.

Last time I played and watched neighbor kids play it all just felt like a great idea implemented in a crappy way. Watching kids playing games with micro transaction scams and terrible experiences was disappointing, but the idea is probably the future. It would be intriguing to see a company like Mojang create a much higher quality system with a similar approach.
"When I arrived at university" -- Usually 18 years old.

Perhaps it is somewhat more difficult than you think. Some of the questions are ambiguous, and I would definitely prefer someone who asked good questions about that over someone who gave the "correct" answer.

I have been involved in hiring developers on several occasions. One of my main criteria is how well they can interact with others.
That might be one of the easiest use cases for me to justify spending more on quality, not that I would trust Amazon to sell quality, but from a reputable brand or retail store.

I am assuming that a plastic spatula will degrade when heated up, and a lower quality plastic will have a higher probability of degrading and depositing plastic into the food being cooked, which then gets ingested of course.
My first IT job was in a large call center. I was sweeping up in a data center and there was a keyboard cable stretched across a walkway. The keyboard wasn't movable (I don't remember why) so I unplugged it from the PC, swept around it, and plugged it back in. About 2 minutes later half a dozen people run into the room. Apparently the SUN workstation I had unplugged the keyboard from was a critical component of the call manager and there was a bug that forced a reboot when the keyboard was plugged in while the system was running.
I had hung up on ~36,000 people. Lesson learned and I only had to keep the data center clean for another year.
In this case, the interview problem was a simplified version of a thing the team gets asked to do. So I believe it was as representative as possible for an hour's coding.

I disagree that "real production code" is not throwaway. In situations of high requirements volatility, a great deal of production code ends up getting thrown away, because either a) it's intended to be a short-lived way to learn about the domain, or b) it's built on an assumption that turns out to be incorrect. And until the project hits economic sustainability, a lot of assumptions necessarily get made. It's only once the project is economically sustainable that we have some confidence that the code will be around for the long haul.

If your point is that most people are using statically typed languages wrong for high-volatility situations, I'll take your word for it. There were definitely times Typescript users seemed to be unnecessarily constraining things, for example. But I'm not sold that the more elaborate approach of being thoughtfully and explicitly untyped for a project's early stages for the sake of prototyping in a statically typed language would yield much practical gain.
I know it’s likely highly subjective and prone to local bias, but I feel a next step would be to do user testing of alternatives and derive a best form factor plug. What’s the best plug we could all be aspiring to. Some are clearly more usable than others.

So I have wine running on my linux machine in the house so my girls can play the sims… I noticed on the web browser the other day my kids had been searching how to install mods. Interestingly they had gotten pretty far but couldn’t figure it out all the way since all the guides online pointed how to do it in windows… it got me thinking maybe I’m depriving them by having the linux setup… little successes along the way build confidence… it’s made me consider having the games on windows… only reason I went wine in the first place is I could not for the life of me figure out how to get windows to install… unbuntu was a 20 minute process… windows failed with some kind of driver error related to sata controller issues … spent a few nights and decided to just run wine… gonna look back into it thought want them to have the little successes of independence… 12 years old

Intersectionality is just viewing all struggles commonality. You can focus on whatever you want and center it with regard to everything else that’s wrong. For me, that’s been a very hopeful concept because you obviously can’t do a million things at once.
How does this compare to all the other messengers that were on HN recently, like Berty, Cwtch, Matrix, etc?

Often when you do things just for fun, you’re driven by the possibilities of what could be. That’s part of the fun. This is especially true of software, and there’s nothing wrong with it.

What there is something wrong with is criticizing others’ motivations because they seem outlandish to you. It’s fine and even healthy to be so ambitious. Not all of us want to sit around playing with legos assuming that’s the best a reasonable life has to offer.

I've used systemd containers to run badly behaved GUI apps, e.g. Steam and MS Teams on my personal computers. Surprisingly good experience, the systemd manual pages are extremely comprehensive and, in my opinion, much easier to understand than people make them out to be.
This is why I don’t share my GitHub profile during the hiring process. Code is just too easy to criticize.

Write a 1 liner? Too terse and hard to understand.

Use multiple lines? Too verbose.

I don’t want to give the people who are going to be deciding my future a target to pick on. It only takes one guy to feel insecure about hiring me to say something like “he over abstracts his code”.

The only things I share are the finished products, it keeps the nitpickers quiet.
So Apple's choice of no-sideloading has, through network effects, placed them in the role of arbiter of which messengers are viable, restricting choice for even non-Apple users.

There's no cost to suppressing coverage of the Uyghur genocide because Western boycotts are virtually nonexistent.

The upside of suppressing coverage of the Uyghur genocide can be calculated as the probability of the Chinese market opening up multiplied by the potential value of that market. As long as the probability is nonzero, this upside is huge.
This is an interesting shift.

Maybe engineering leaders who advocate good engineering practices will gain more clout, as failures now have a higher cost to executives' careers than before.

Absolutely none of the problems mentioned in this article have anything to do with Roblox being an online game.
Yes, if it’s built in then it’s a lot less awkward. You can close the laptop with it on, etc. The practical problems with doing this are bigger than theoretical ones.

Ultimately Apple should probably build this in given their “privacy” messaging.

But in any case, I think surreptitious microphone access is a bigger problem than this, and there’s no easy solution to it.

They are popular because they are good. The products have good designs and reasonable quality, at or above the $1 level. The stores are bright, clean, and the staff friendly.

My guess is that they have a much more integrated supply chain than the stores in the US and can better understand what their customers want/need.

There is an air of quality around ¥100 shop shop and a stigma of $1 stores being junk. Any reasonable Okaasan takes it as a badge of honor finding good stuff and bragging about it.
Maybe there are, but that doesn't help me.

The systemd way seems to be "one tool of complexity 40 to 50 things" rather than "50 tools of complexity 1 each doing one thing".

When you only need 10 things, you only need 10 simple tools of complexity 10, rather than one tool of complexity 40.

The atmosphere on Earth has stable particles -- they have a lifetime similar to other matter on Earth. But their density is so low that light passes through them mostly undisturbed.

Empty space outside of planetary atmosphere is a void, there's "no" particles there (some Hydrogen and Helium and radiation).

Correct. My stuff is simple, yours is complex.
Ouch, what on earth does "log out" even mean? What a terrible way to run any computer other than maybe a single user laptop.
This is both true and false. Out of the box, the Bloomberg terminal comes with data required to make it functional for most professional purposes. If I had my terminal, I can load up a random Taiwanese (or any market) stock right now and see the price, tape history, etc. with no prior setup.

However, if I was a Taiwanese trader or market maker, I'd likely pay Taiwanese exchange fees to get access to richer, real-time data (specifically, non-delayed quotes and more market depth.)

I can get this access in under 5 seconds by opting into the desired exchange privileges under EXC<GO> or most likely just pinging my Bloomberg rep. If I remember correctly, I have to log out and back in for the new permissions to permeate my terminal. The cool thing is that all functions automatically leverage the highest level of subscribed data.

Whether I need to jump through more procurement hoops than that depends on where I work. If I am in a small hedge fund, I can just "do this" and if I am in a big firm, we likely already have this data subscribed for.

One of the many reasons Bloomberg exists and continues to be immensely valuable is that it prevents you from having to mess around with individual exchange permissions and data in a one-off way. And don't get me started on normalizing data across exchanges - the fact that Bloomberg does that for you is worth the price alone.

What does this have to do with job policies? Systemd was forced down our throats by Red Hat adding hard dependencies on it to other software under their control, e.g., GNOME. Other distros then adopted systemd under duress, since many of the packages that Red Hat made depend on it are important to the Linux ecosystem, and the other distros didn't have the resources to fork them all.

I don’t know about middle school kids, mine’s not there yet, he’s 9 - but he’s already done algebra, including simultaneous linear equations with multiple unknowns.

No powers, quadratic equation or differentiation and the like yet, but I can see the QE coming up in next years books (which we recently bought since 3rd grade just finished)

I’m pretty sure that when I was at school, this was a “senior school” (age 11-16) topic, and I was maybe 12 or 13. Kids are learning stuff earlier than they used to, at least it feels that way to me.
I think most papers do this mostly to prevent too much scrutiny of their calculations. Publish or perish etc
I like Matt, but that's a misleading comparison. You can't compare banks with non-banks, since, again, banks have the special regulated right to _create money out of thin air_ and put it on their balance sheet (or if you prefer the fractional reserve metaphor, they can double count your deposit -- lending it out while pretending they still have it for you).

Here's a way to reality check the difference: if 90% of Tether holders redeem their deposits tomorrow, 100% of them will get their money back and Tether Ltd will remain 100% solvent and liquid. If 90% of JPMC depositors redeem tomorrow only 10% of them will get their money back and JPMC will be insolvent.

Where would you rather have your money?
Or maybe to signal "yeah, we can afford to shop here"?

Like, my dentist's office is really nice. Not just clean, but very nice. I seem to be the only one in our family that realizes that we're the ones that paid for that. Better than charging the same amount for a dumpy office, but makes me wonder how much we've been overpaying.

Even a fancy restaurant will follow the 5second rule in the kitchen, but it will be a nicer floor they're picking it off of. (I never understood granite countertops... they're porous! The last thing you'd want in a kitchen).

I’m not saying we shouldn’t. I actually think manufacturers should go a step further and add physical kill switches to webcams. That would allow cutting off the audio as well.

I think the disconnect between your experience and others’ may involve the complexity of the sites you’re talking about. If you have a simple site that has a few images, HTTP 1 may be nearly equal to HTTP 2/3. If you have a complex site with a lot of resources, and your server software allows you to push resources you know the client will need before the client even gets around to asking for them, HTTP 2/3 can be a clear winner.
"The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has ordered crypto exchange Binance to stop undertaking any regulated activity in the country.

Well, if my Julia code ever gets to the point where other people want to edit it, the community has embraced Unicode, so there won’t be a problem there. More generally, I’ll turn my comment into a question: how are people using computers without already having them set up to easily type these characters?

It’s mostly a population density thing.

Most mid or large US cities have gigabit options, sometimes multiple options (in which case prices will be affordable)

Small cities and towns probably won’t have fiber. If you’re lucky and the cable infrastructure is new, you might be able to get gigabit cable, but it’s more likely that the affordable options are 25-300mbps.

If you are in a rural village, you may or may not have cable availability. (Likely depending on your proximity to other populated areas) Without cable, you may be relying on LTE or DSL.

And finally, if you’re in an area more rural than this, the only utilities that come to your house are likely electricity and copper phone. You’re either choosing between satellite or a (likely weak) cell signal.

Then surely shuko plug is the ultimate of both worlds? There is no need for the increased size and complexity with the internal fuse, and the socket is recessed so you can't touch the pins until they are way out to the connection points.
Color me skeptical that being able to have a video or an image show up in the chat is what makes a community.

It can be nice to see videos and images, and it can be annoying. Quite often videos and images dumb down the conversation as people post memes instead of saying anything meaningful.

It can also be handy to see the image right there and not have to click on a link to open it in your web browser to see it, but that just makes the experience a bit more seamless and convenient, and is not something that is going to make or break a community.

Plenty of communities have formed on IRC.. big and small, even without inline images and video.
I personally always considered the "general" stores, and considered Dollar Tree the main "dollar" store out of the bunch. I think these stores are super interesting though, because, growing up in a town with a Walmart and Target, there was no reason for me to go to a Dollar General. However, when my friends and I would go camping, the only store for miles and miles would be a Dollar General, and it was relatively booming. The stores aren't bad by any means, but limited and a bit more costly, but I get an odd feeling of coziness if they're the only real store in town.
I use my phone as my webcam. So to stream video I have to put it onto the clip on my monitor and plug in a cable. That doesn’t happen by accident.

I recognize that this is more awkward than most people want. But the built in cameras (and third party too) are so terrible that it’s worth it to me.
Resistive heating is not efficient compared to heat pumps. The value obtained running the miners would have to be greater than the difference in cost between the two, and reasonably stable, for realistic people to be even started to consider it.
I’m actually arguing from a slightly different consequentialist position; I don’t think intellectual property law in general is socially efficient. You have to consider whether the (putative) benefit of IP-based R&D funding exceeds the loss associated with the introduction of artificial scarcity, social cost of IP enforcement, etc. For something like rocket engines or metallurgy, I would say “maybe”. For the latest Star Wars spinoff, I would say “strong no”.

Even for rocket engines or whatever, it’s not clear if the patent system is still producing acceptable returns.
Paperback books that don’t sell are discarded so as not to compete with long tail purchases but hard cover books are expensive enough in terms of production and distribution that the end up getting discounted instead.
> McDonald's ( google of the cooking world ?) should cook

Having worked at a cook at McDonald's, I don't know if I would call it "google of the cooking world". From my experience, McDonald's cooking is highly streamlined and focused on reproducing the same experience at some level (for example French McDonald's is not the same as American McDonald's but the fries and Big mac are still relatively the same).
I'm saddened that there is no 'best practices' toolkit for the enterprising folks in rural America who have the skills to install their own fiber. The real pervasive monopoly is interconnection.
Yea you make a good point. There are different types of marketers and it cannot be generic. Some are very good at using an existing brand and just generating tons of traffic to it. Some are good at helping you build an organic ranking slowly over time.

So to hire a marketer, you need to first understand the stage you are at. For OP, it is early stage which means it is all about discovery and creating a brand around it. You cannot just throw PPC money at that.
