It was 1981, and the first "Computer Age" shop had opened up in my town, a place called Claremont - more of a suburb, really, of Perth, Australia. A lucky place, for it meant there was .. inside an air-conditioned cube .. a row of Atari and Apple computers.

Two school-kids are sitting there, tapping away, at something from a magazine. It looks immensely interesting, but they scowl at me as I get closer as if not to interrupt. So I go poke on an Atari, and immediately dislike its membrane.

The sales guy, probably only a few years beyond his teens, unlike me not yet begun, grins and nods over at another Apple II machine, newly set up. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I bang away at it "HELLO" this and "dO somehting" this and whatever, until the sales guy swoops in, wangs in a floppy, hits the reset combo and lets me play SABOTAGE for the rest of the afternoon.

The next day, after an interminably long day at school, I arrive with a freshly purloined magazine of my own. The same kids from before are there, just minutes before me probably but seemingly there all night, and are having a blast. They proudly, this time, beckon me over to 'have a go' at their game, TREK, wherein I am an "+" and there are "*"'s and . and #'s all over the place.

After witnessing me fail miserably, yet nevertheless programmatically successfully, these older kids chortle themselves out into the heat .. and I stick around to learn how to copy it to another floppy disk. The sales guy obliges, and gives me my first 5.4" floppy disk to save things on, "as long as you come back tomorrow and type a few more programs in, from those magazines you kids have..."

So, I did. What a summer it was.

I'll never forget those older nerds.
Sure, and nobody is going to the library or other archives to check out those old how-to books, they're using contemporary sources on Youtube instead.

And the same will be true of old vs contemporary sources in fifty years.

I don't expect my own collection of books - which includes some that are valuable to me primarily for nostalgia - to have much value past the death of myself and the rest of my generation. It might temporarily have a lot of monetary value near my death - when other copies have already been lost - but to someone born fifty years after me? What use would pulp fiction from the 80s be to many of them?

My parents and uncles are in a bit of disbelief of how little even I care about the Beatles already, after all.
“…and exposed them to excessively risky trading tools such as options”

Oh FFS. That was actually one of positive things that Robinhood did. They could have had some better safeguards for the unlimited loss scenarios to be sure but to lament access to all options is disingenuous at best.
Yeah I also got a bit too creative in middle and high school. It was all harmless fun, e.g. writing scripts so that various computers would start beeping at random times during the day.

None of my school faculty had any understanding of computers. I was even yelled at for using "Google" during a research project.

I think the bigger fear is that people cannot make mistakes anymore. Even in my local town a simple mistake went viral on social media and now the student's whole life is ruined for something that may have been a simple visit to the principle's office back in the day.
Only if you are building the same wall all the time. As soon as some decides they want their house to not look like the one next door and thus makes some "trivial" changes your machine can't make the house anymore.

That is why you can't scale: people want their house to be unique.
Yeah, the internet is bigger now - all of the weird fringe stuff from enthusiasts is still there and there's even more of it. One thing that has happened is that the mainstream is there too now, so if you don't venture outside that its easier to not see the more interesting stuff. In the old days, when just having a "homepage" placed you a bit outside the norm, stumbling on something non-mainstream was more of a given.
I mean it's a disservice to communicating and messaging about Condorcet by making it seem more complicated than it is. There are countless Condorcet variants, of various complexity. To look at the complexity of those variants and paint with a broad brush by saying that "Condorcet is complicated" does a disservice to the aim of seeking broader acceptance of Condorcet.

An example is that the Condorcet Method (identifying the usually single-winner Smith Set) is not subject to the same various "voting flaws" that the various tie breaking mechanisms are. But then the community is happy to say that Condorcet is flawed along those lines when it's not.
In your example, you can't use `Rectangle(1, 1)` as a Square which was the point of the author.

No a square is not a rectangle, it's a shape that have common properties to other shapes (rectangles, diamonds, ...).
The only major company I know that even has the option for PGP on email is Facebook. It works quite well and was pretty easy to set up, so long as you don't use a webmail client or your phone.

The best hires I've ever made have started submitting code reviews within 24-48 hrs of being onboarded. Sure it's not for something like Microsoft Windows, but still this has been a hallmark positive indicator of a good hire for me, and applicable to many (but not all of course) frontend, backend, and app development projects.

Now maybe there is some discussion to have about what "100% efficient" means. Of course they will not hit their peak of productivity on day 1, and anyways if 100% efficient means the most productive day they've ever had, then they will more days than not be < maximally productive.
Within gamedev, I can't tell.

Hi Shuki, I am interested in talking to you. you profile does not have contact info. How can I reach you? My contact is in my profile.
Allowing trusted sellers to be hijacked is not greedy behavior. Keeping 3rd sellers happy will result in less returns, happier resellers, and greater platform usage.

The root cause here is organizational failure from disempowered employees. At one point Amazon had great customer service with empowered represenatives. That's not Amazon today.
During my time at Amazon we used to joke about an, alleged, Bezos quote: He hates CS and wished he could live without. The narrative was, that operations weren't good enough to make CS unnecessary. Well, it sometimes seems it was just a question of scale, as you said. And maybe Amazon is just figuring out whether or not they can get away with it, little by little.
Not common. Wood is a lot cheaper, strong enough (brick is hard, but it isn't actually very strong). Wood is also easy to modify in a few years when you want to make changes.

My main takeaway is that Junio Hamano is supernaturally productive, and Git owes him a lot.
> You are making arguments about what you read instead of objectively observing how copilot operates.

Of course I am. We are both participating in a speculative discussion of how copyright law should handle ML code synthesis. I think this is really clear from the context, and it seems obvious to me that this product will not be able to move beyond the technical preview stage if it continues to make a habit of copying distinctive code and comments verbatim, so that scenario isn't really interesting to me. Github seems to agree (from the page on recitation that you linked):

> This investigation demonstrates that GitHub Copilot can quote a body of code verbatim, but that it rarely does so, and when it does, it mostly quotes code that everybody quotes, and mostly at the beginning of a file, as if to break the ice.

> But there’s still one big difference between GitHub Copilot reciting code and me reciting a poem: I know when I’m quoting. I would also like to know when Copilot is echoing existing code rather than coming up with its own ideas. That way, I’m able to look up background information about that code, and to include credit where credit is due.

> The answer is obvious: sharing the prefiltering solution we used in this analysis to detect overlap with the training set. When a suggestion contains snippets copied from the training set, the UI should simply tell you where it’s quoted from. You can then either include proper attribution or decide against using that code altogether.

> This duplication search is not yet integrated into the technical preview, but we plan to do so. And we will both continue to work on decreasing rates of recitation, and on making its detection more precise.

The arguments you've made here would seem to apply equally well to a version of Copilot hardened against "recitation", hence my reply.

> Even in the best case copilot is creating derivative works from code where GH is not the copyright owner.

It would be convenient for your argument(s) if it were decided legal fact that ML-synthesized code is derivative work, but it seems far from obvious to me (in fact, I would disagree) and you haven't articulated a real argument to that effect yourself. It has also definitely not been decided by any legal entity capable of establishing precedent.

And, again, if this is what you believe then I'm not sure how the work of human programmers is supposed to be any different in the eyes of copyright law.
I got totally screwed last year job wise. 2 of my employers have not reported my tax contributions to the state. I never received a W2 from one of them. TurboTax was able to find all my W2 from the HR companies, but I was unable to access those HR websites for my W2s. Because my contributions weren’t reported to the state I have to get all my W2 (luckily it was in my federal return) and resend them to the state. I hate TurboTax, but I wouldn’t have been able to file my taxes this year without them.
>Are we in the software community not the ones who

No.

I'll politely clarify that for over a decade that I - and many others - have been asking not to be lumped in with the lukewarm takes of west coast software bubble asshats. We do not live there, we do not like them, I wish they would quit pretending to speak for us.

The idea that there is anything approaching a cohesive software "community" is a con people play on themselves.
Yes. There are enterprise grade IoT devices that are managed remotely, get patched, have firewalls and role based access controls. The low end devices are a function of profit. People want to make a cheap throw away thing, toss it over the fence and make money. There are no laws requiring them to care or to eat into their perceived profits.

I'm the owner of the repo. Thank you for posting this.

Many people here (and elsewhere) complain about the "curation" method I used, which is based on simple algorithmic rules instead of a subject matter expert curation. I totally understand their point. I admit that I misused the term "curated" here. I thought that algorithmic selection is a kind of curation.

When I made this, I didn't intend for a recommendation list. Instead, I intended for a comprehensive list excluding low-profile books. And there was a simple reason behind that: I don't know your experience level nor your preferences. You might prefer theoretical over practical books. Or prefer verbose over concise books. Or art-based over engineering-based books. Or and or and or. I will change "curated" to "comprehensive" in the repo description to reveal my purpose effectively and eliminate ambiguity.

You will end up with hundreds of almost unrated (zero raters) books without these seemingly simple algorithmic rules.

Don't be overwhelmed by the number of books on each subject. Practically speaking, you are supposed to read one or two books (maybe a little bit more for nerds?) on each subject that you are interested in. Deciding what to read is your business. Alternatively, you may go with the Goodreads community choice and start from the top of each list if you don't have the time to read reviews.
A lot of the comments here paint a picture of a dysfunctional relationship with business stakeholders, and then suggest defensive techniques to cover your own ass. I understand why one would need to do this in certain situations, but I would also say that your impact and skill growth will inherently be limited in these situations because you're lacking the fundamental thing that cross-functional teams need to succeed: trust.

The bottom line is this: exact estimates, especially for large projects are a crapshoot. There is often more than one way to solve a business problem, and long-lived consequences for maintenance, operations and future development. The best solution to large problems can not be arrived at by simply throwing an ill-conceived one-liner prescribed solution over the wall to an engineering team and say "estimate this". What works is to bring a small group of highly skilled practitioners and business operators who have the capability and experience to zoom in and out of the problem space enough to shape a sane low-fidelity plan, and then commission the right discovery and validation to formulate a full plan. This does depend on having the right people in the room and mutual trust between them. It's very easy for one bad apple to derail this whole thing either through outright incompetence or else inability to listen and understand another point of view. Often on HN we paint the picture of the clueless pointy-haired boss making bad decisions, but equally as damaging is the arrogant engineer who is unable to see past their own biases to play out potential tradeoffs with other areas that they don't have deep expertise in.
I can't find the issue, but originally it stood for different parts of the data lifecycle - Model, Extract, Load, Transform, Analyze, Notebook, Orchestrate. We don't really highlight that much anymore, but there's no denying the roots!
I'm about as far away as one can be.
AT&T to run core 5G network on Microsoft's cloud
Oh man... I'm dealing with this headache.

Add in that the whole warehouse had to get packed up and moved while things were in unknown locations, each of the million items is unique and owned by different people (some who want their items right now), and it's all still stuck in the moving containers a year later due to red tape.

This is the nightmare I am trying to figure out how to untangle right now.
I guess I was unclear in my comment. I meant that FAANG can spend money on WFH related perks (premium equipment, food delivery, whatever) that second tier companies are maybe not willing to pay, thus retaining the same advantage they had in the office work era that was mentioned by the grandparent in their post.
I mean tech has been great at disrupting political problems by simply overwhelming then with money. See Uber and Airb&b
There is no way anyone in their right mind would call main.js[1] easy to understand. It's basically complete chaos. Guillaume is making a good effort to clean up this inherited code slowly, but the interactions are still kind of broken and will be until this code is rewritten in a sane pattern such as MVU. FWIW, I have been working towards this for the past year.

So...almost 20 years later (started in 2004 according to Wikipedia): do we actually have a game yet?
How does that even work in practice? Does the team have to ship a bunch of successful Switch and Xbox games first before their resumes are viewed as good enough? And it seems like they would have to plan to ship the project under development on one of those other consoles, just in case they don't get approved?
This reminded me of a story that hit the front page a few years ago. Even if content sticks around and isn't modified, Google will eventually forget it and you won't be able to find it without a bookmark.

It's better, but still beta. We handle backups and you can connect directly to psql. We also added migration support as part of app releases. The global distribution feature, though, works with any database, not just our postgres.

Between you and me, we tried really hard not to build a Postgres service. We're committed now, it's gonna be good. For future DBs we plan to get big enough that people like Timescale to ship their products on Fly infrastructure.

>Both have implemented "hybrid" return to office policies where employees have to live within 100 miles of the office and be able to come in 1 day a week or 1 day a month depending on team.

This sounds a bit too much like jobs that claim 10% or 25% travel that pull a bait and switch, or don't hire the 2nd opening for your position, so your responsibly to "cover" for the dept really means double work, or same amount of work but more like 60-75% travel.

Same with jobs the promise of a 40 hr week, but ends up being 60 hrs to handle everything that's your responsibility.

So my question is: what guarantees or addl compensation are people getting (in writing) to keep the one day a month from turning into more?

Excuses like: "oh that one day is for our staff meeting- if your team leader wants weekly update meetings in the office you need to be there"

Or "you're responsible for coordinating and meeting with your team as needed to fulfill the responsibilities of your position"

Etc

Extra day off or extra days salary or just compensation for extra commute? Or just put up with it til it crosses a line?
The eventual benefit is having access to many community sourced principles as a resource, which are getting better over time as people contribute.

Then being able to create your own lists for unique situations. Say "Lupire's CTO list" or "Lupire's management principles" and to share that with your team or as a reminder to yourself.

Of course you should always be able to export it and put it in a format that's useful to you. And that's been really important to the design. From using markdown format to embedding license information and meta data with the principle, it should help a lot with portability.
I get your point:)
Many among the users I introduced to Linux are elderly with no or little computer experience, and others just need it for the usual web+office+media applications, so having a very consistent desktop where everything works out of the box as in Manjaro beats the incredible number of packages available on Debian.
This is about XFCE of course, which is what I install: close enough to Windows to be useable by all, simple enough not to balk at the first inconsistence, fast enough to run pretty much everywhere. Gnome, Mate and KDE would probably be fantastic on all Distros, but XFCE on Debian defaults to ugly and unnecessary settings (a DM ideal for small screen laptops which defaults to two panels?).
I don't have experience with plain Arch, but having read only good things about it will probably try it soon.

Debian has been really good for just about everything since I moved to it many moons ago, and as of today is still my daily driver on all machines, but sometimes requires constant fiddling here and there, and I'm getting old; I stopped recompiling my kernels on PCs over 10 years ago, and a system that works just out of the box is too temping:) Not to criticize Debian, which has been great almost everywhere, but it gave some problems with some niche applications, for example music: a working LinVST installation is not easy to obtain, and it is tightly tied with the running kernel, which if has _rt extensions will help with low latency but sometimes doesn't let one compile with standard Wine libraries, and when one finds a good compromise, bang! VirtualBox stops working because now its kernel module doesn't build anymore. Grrrr!:) So I may take the chance to test some other options, and Arch might be a good candidate.
From the abstract:

> We lack explanations of why people engage in online harassment beyond simple bias or dislike.

> Drawing from examples of networked harassment taken from qualitative interviews with people who have experienced harassment (n = 28) and Trust & Safety workers at social platforms (n = 9)

If you are really interested in why people engage in this behavior you should interview the harassers and not their victims.
You sue Amazon for contributory infringement. Subpoena for the number of fraudulent copies they sold and then press for triple damages plus all of your fees. Even if that number is tiny you'll cost them much more in legal bills.
If that's the case then GPL code should not have been used in the training set. Open AI should have learned to run away when they saw it. The GPL is purposely designed to protect user freedom (it does not care about any special developer freedom) which is it's biggest advantage.
I remember reading somewhere that something important to keep in mind is that Zuckerberg and Gates didn't really "drop out" as they could go back to college at any time if they wanted to. However once they succeeded there was no need. This was not a choice between "a degree and a shot at something" but "a degree, or either something that works, or a degree later".
11 minutes is still a long time IMO.

You can spin up a local multi-node cluster using kind[0] in 1 minute on 6+ year old hardware. I know it's not the same but I really have to imagine there's ways to speed this up on the cloud. I haven't spun up a cluster on DO or Linode in a while, does anyone know how long it takes there for a comparison?

The Boxabl house folds up much more compact and in their render at least it is being delivered behind a pickup truck. So it seems they are solving a different problem and might be able to get these things into places a large tractor with an extra-wide load might not be able to access. Though that is negated somewhat if you need a crane to deploy it as the video shows.
Have to fully agree; just seems like a "cool" tool where if you had to actually use it for real world projects, it's going to slow you down significantly, and you'll only admit it once the honeymoon period is over.

Right as I said it’s structural typing. It’s implicit that the traits are grouped together to describe something. And individual traits could be grouped together with completely different ones to describe something else. That you choose not to name it doesn’t change that the trait collection applies to fluffy, white Cats whether you like that or not. I can even choose to call it one thing and you can choose to call it something else and the types will remain interchangeable. You can even leave your type anonymous and it will still be interchangeable.
My observation, as a hiring manager, is that levels.fyi data for my company is consistently representative of the highest compensated 10% of my team, but presents itself as reflecting something closer to median compensation for a given role.
