> they mess up people's pattern recognition

you have described perfectly the problem that I have when reading n0code written by programmers who are not mathematicians... my mind wants to read variables with multiple letters as products of each letter.

I find multi-letter variable names extremely old fasioned, as when math was written explicitly in latin before the advent of algeraic notation.

EDIT: an illustrative tweet of my concern: https://mobile.twitter.com/fermatslibrary/status/14109451739...
> networks that reinforce centrality/influence of accurate truth-tellers, and penalize sensationalism, extremism etc.

I'm pretty sure CCP already built several such networks for us.
Arthur C. Clarke and the Paradox of Distance
it's very different in some ways and the same in another. In this situation it's not the same.

There is no real online review of software jobs seekers. There is word of mouth recommendations of who is good at their job like with a trade.

In plumbing and short contract jobs it matters less what the company does, it's a one off job. If one were hiring a short term contractor dev then it would be the similar, not a full time dev.

For a full time software hire it makes sense to ask their motivation of where they want to spend most of their waking time. There's a huge different between someone just working for money who'd work at a pay day lender just as willingly as working at an outdoor lifestyle brand versus someone into that brand. Most situations will fall in between, but who would you hire, the person who has some connection to the field or something about the company, or just wants to earn a buck and doesn't care.
`call` and `apply` can also be replaced with arrow functions and splats.
This is a big fat nope for me.

Some people aren't going to behave better just because you asked them to or explained why people downvoted their comment. Especially coming from a random internet stranger, this is usually experienced as an attack, not an attempt to be helpful.

And it's often not actually meant to be genuinely helpful. It often is fairly ugly behavior where someone feels like they can dictate to you how you are allowed to participate.

This means demographic outliers, minority views of any sort (in the sense of "a view not held by most people here") and anyone who has ever been picked on can be bullied, told to get in line and it's your fault you are being attacked.

That's not a path forward towards a better discussion forum.

As things stand currently, if you are willing to soak up the downvotes and you, yourself, follow the rules and are respectful, you can speak your mind and take a stand on unpopular positions, etc.

This is a forum that values rigorous scientific discussion. When social crap becomes more important than being able to state the truth as you understand it and have some hope of meaningful discussion, then HN is dead.

Hurt feelings about downvotes is social crap.

The culture supports the practice of corrective upvotes. That is sufficient to ameliorate most bad downvotes.

We don't need to actively encourage negative engagement, bullying and an attitude that you are required to get with the program and march to the same tune as everyone else lest a single downvotes lead to a pile on of ridiculous and pointless drama.
Wow, this is virtually identical. If I were paying for placer I'd stop after seeing that you can get effectively the same data for free, assuming you just need the trend.
+1 to lemonade shandies if you're feeling like limiting alcohol intake for an evening. They're actually a good way to enjoy aggressively hoppy IPAs if you find those a bit tough to drink neat.
My hunch is that some companies are posting lower ranges because current employees can also see the posted range.

But like housing prices in CO, I suspect another factor is that prices are increasing rapidly so nobody has a great handle on market value. So a company might post a range they believe to be true, but be open to bidding higher pending other offers or concerns about not landing the candidate.
So I like a beer or two, but any more than that and its downhill later on. So I've taken to bringing beer and high-quality ginger ale to parties. So that I can switch over and have something that I still enjoy and fits in to the scene without close inspection. An alcohol-free beer might fit in... if I enjoy the taste.
> an entire month of samurai movies

Man, that is awesome. When my wife and I first started dating, our date nights consisted of going and seeing all of the harry potter movies as they were being re-shown in a local theater. We bought the expensive seats and this theater served food/beer with the movie, which made it that much more fun. I wish more theaters would adapt their business model do to stuff like this- I'd LOVE to see the LOTR trilogy (extended) in theaters again.
Same.

On a naive surface level of this, it's a game, not your banking account. How much is really at stake here?
The heart of the open source movement had more to do with companies locking down software with operating systems and less about star-trek socialism for code. RMS wasn't just some hippie, he actually stuck to his guns and really "stuck it to the man" in a way that actually revolutionized programming today.
> I mourn that the default aspiration for getting a PhD isn't staying in academia and advancing science.

It almost certainly is for the vast majority of grad students. There are just way more newly-minted PhDs than tenure-track jobs, especially if you add some (reasonable) constraints like location, R1 university etc.

Android requires location services enabled to do ambient WiFi scans: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/wifi...

However, I believe connected WiFi information can be obtained on Android without location services enabled.

On iOS, I believe an app needs special permission even to fetch connected WiFi, and I believe you are correct that there is no way to access ambient WiFi scans.
I actually started using Uber when it was Uber Black only (might have had a different name) for that exact reason. if you worked or lived in a rough part of town, you COULD NOT get cab service - period. So I happily paid far MORE than cab service to get there or back. The uber I used was all TCP drivers only so was expensive.

My female roommate once had to walk from the marina to edge of outer mission to get home late at night because on weekends you could not get cabs and/or they wouldn't take you places that they didn't like. It was that or stay at some ultra sketch guys house or hang in a park till buses started again.

Just ridiculous - they wouldn't even do weekend only medallions to lighten load - so some commission was def. bought by the taxi cartel type folks.

Was so glad when uber came along. you could get rid of your car, no if (or if not) you'd be picked up etc.

And yes - the "broken" CC machine - the Taxi commission was busy making sure there were too few medallions and no gypsy cabs, but did diddly squat to enforce any other rules (ie, discrimination in pickups, CC machines working, lost property handling). The statistical chance that every other business seems to be able to operate CC machine, and these guys, in a regulated and licensed business could not, was just ridiculous.

Corrupt through and through.

> I think maybe books based movies are more towards original side

I agree totally. I'd also score remakes as more original if the film being remade is significantly older.
Note that your usefruct rights and your property rights can be alienated, but your right to property, as a separate concept, cannot.

That is, the benefits or possession of property can be transferred to another. The ability to benefit or possess cannot. Those last can be denied, and the objects of them transferred, but the right to enjoy, much as happiness or enjoyment itself, is inalienable.
Because many cheaters do things which are impossible. This is low hanging fruit that we're told we need a ring0 driver to have access to EVERYTHING. Stupid things like tracking other players through walls. Still common because it's so damned easy. You play back their events and you see the cheater always knows where to go, where to hide. There are also exploits. These can all be unit tested away.

But there are cheats like kickback compensation, hitbox tracking. You can apply statistical models and find unlikely consistency but it's hard to say for certain.
Speculating here.

In conflict zones, the red cross symbol has often protected them from being a target. It might have been one of the primary meanings and uses of the symbol.
Could they mean, with those two sentences, that having the red cross be used, in for example, video games, for other meanings (like health pack or whatever) waters down that original important meaning of the symbol as the Red Cross organisation identity?

I’m just speculating, but could it be that a combatant in war seeing a red cross previously though “that’s the Red Cross” while they today might, more often than before, just think: “that’s medics”?
I think it is important to be wary of bias from big Silicon Valley companies and to have healthy competition in this space. However, I've never even heard of Knewz prior to today and would have been willing to give it a shot to see how it works. I know it's anecdotal but given that this was totally off my radar, I feel like they may not have successfully marketed this and built a presence to test the idea's viability well.
There is literally NO substitute for either call or apply as they are low-level JS primitives. Arrow functions can go a long way toward handling .bind() scenarios, but I believe there are situations where you must still use .bind() to prevent constantly creating new functions (and the related garbage).
I think the idea is that you'd only reach a cliff if someone decided to cut off the periodic RSU grants, and at that point you should probably have been interviewing elsewhere because they probably want you gone?
Honestly, I feel that we're way past the point of productively engaging with the wallstreetbets crowd, the "Naked short squeeze" eternal narative is about as substantial as the people claiming Trump will be inaugurated again later this year. There's no evidence threshold that can be met - on an infinite timeline, the fact that these hedge funds haven't lost money is just more evidence of dirty tricks rather than the most likely scenario - they dumped the stock long ago, and either have a strategy to get back in or have a strategy to avoid being burned again.
I have. I went from being PIPed after my first year due to not getting along with my team, to being nominated for Yahoo!'s Super Star award (the highest honor in the company) a year later. People can and do turn around when they are mentored with care and the will to succeed.
Still waiting for the day when USA brewers master Pilsner. It's my favorite beer for hot weather. The European versions are light and crisp without being bland. All the American ones I've tried have too thick of a body, not enough hops/brightness, or both.

Apple is notorious for being selective about what they classify as true R&D, but it’s not even close:

And that's just scratching the surface! There are all sorts of additional quirks, e.g. on mobile browsers the URL bar and the bottom bar (only on some OSs) will be ignored in the calculation, while the keyboard being toggled will not, which can cause all sorts of issues unless you combine it with viewport heights too: https://css-tricks.com/the-trick-to-viewport-units-on-mobile...

How would you replace the classic `Array.prototype.map.call($nodeList, myFn)` with arrows and splat?
What a perfect analogy — wolves and lambs voting on what to have for dinner. In the absence of democratic governance, the wolves will just eat the lambs because nobody's stopping them.

The wolf here is Apple. I can't make my own phone. Neither can you. And most users are substantially less tech-savvy from us, to the point where all they can really do is configure the settings on the factory-installed OS. The technology we use is overwhelmingly under the control of tech giants; there is no viable phone OS other than iOS (Apple-controlled) and Android + Play store (Google-controlled).

What do we do? Let ourselves get eaten? Or do we, the lambs (who are the overwhelmingly in the majority in our society) exert democratic power to counterbalance the capitalist power which controls the tech in our lives?

> If 51% agree that the other 49% should be enslaved does not make it ethical or right

Right, which is why the constitution exists: to protect certain individual rights from state overreach. But it absolutely does not follow that, since it is desirable that the government be constrained in some ways, it is always better for the government to do less.
Thank you. It's coded from start to end because I am not familiar with any software that do trailers. I first coded it then wrote music (in FLStudio) that is aligned with events in a demo.

Linux gaming is fantastic. I couldn't play dragon age origins on my windows 10 PC. Was a nightmare just to get it to launch and then it would just crash all the time. Tried it on my Linux machine and bam it worked no sweat. I should add the hardware was different so I can't rule out the game not working on rtx20 series or 9-10 gen i7. Couldn't believe it. (I also got it running on windows 7 before I decided to try my mint is).
It’s been several years since I worked there but if I remember correctly it was a little more complicated because these were basically subcontracts under one larger contract. The company had a huge contract agreeing to purchase some volume of services from the consulting company. For each project a smaller contract would be created to define the terms of the project and the resources would be drawn from the parent contract’s pool of purchased resources.

This created a lot of internal pressure to use contract resources as much as possible.
The quality of genre work has increased mightily but it really does feel like the budget has fallen out of more high minded stuff like "MOON" and "GATTACA". Maybe this isn't real. After all, we've had some pretty good snooty stuff. Ex Machina, Interstellar, Arrival, etc.

Very much could be just how much Avengers flicks have absolutely dominated the marketing. I think it's akin to how music seems to have died of you listen to the radio because the decline in listenership has resulted in more pop stations playing the absolutely most widely appealing stuff. But there is a thriving ecosystem off to the side that's way fuller and more varied than anything we had in the 90s.
But only n has to be low-entropy energy, while the 3n is ambient heat that you’re trying to get rid of. There’s no scarcity of ambient heat when you’re just trying to move it anywhere else but inside.

More than likely yes.

My first programming job was at an insurance broker where 15-20 years ago I wrote a maybe 20 line VB exe to transfer a file to our systems that was invoked by a comparative rater.

It was still out there being distributed to client PCs for over a decade.

I'm really ignorant about this whole field.

Your work on passive radiative cooling doesn't sound like biotech or related to biotech but your link https://www.scihouse.space is a biotech lab.

I was just wondering the kind of education/knowledge someone who is working on the cooling technology would have, and was surprised to see a biotech background. So am wondering on the journey to get from biotech to whatever is needed for the cooling tech.
My one annoyance with these is that they aren't supported in Typescript i.e no return types.
Yea it is tragedy of the commons; even people in Medieval Europe understood they need to have a lot of children because agricultural workforce, craftsmen workforce, army size, priesthood size, taxpayers size and like you said in general to exist and inhabit some land. Because land without people was and is attractive prey in the eyes of invaders and conquerors.
The submitted article is a flame war against non-developers and promotes the same attitude in the workplace. Other people have jobs too.

It's condescends :

"Your non-techie peers just don’t get it, no matter how many times you try to make them understand."

Demeans :

"Tell him that you bet him lunch he can’t get it done in five minutes, only getting one shot at getting the answer right. Maybe he’ll stop laughing and get to work."

..and insults :

"complete with ridiculous buzzword BS bingo and sports metaphors about “closing out the game in the endzone” or something. By the time the dust settles and you’ve been Six-Sigma-ed into submission by 3rd degree black belts",

As long as HN keep accepting such submissions, I'll keep giving them the treatment they deserve, which I think is fair.
> minus Croatia and Czech Republic--both countries are part of the European Union and therefore become "westernized" quickly after accession

Why would Czech Republic, formerly a province of Austria-Hungary, need to become "westernized"? It was "westernized" centuries ago -- at the time of the first Přemyslids, in fact, when the Eastern church, courtesy of Cyril and Methodius, was replaced in Bohemia for political reasons by allegiance to the (Catholic) Regensburg diocese.

We've all seen how quickly our lives can be upended. I suspect the decades long decline in savings will be permanently reversed. We're all looking for security in our lives, and working for less than a living wage isn't going to be acceptable any more.
A different flavor of this (in home re-modeling, hardscape etc.), is that the people who come to do the estimate are different than the people who come do the job. They are typically younger and pretty much clueless as to how the work would have to be done. So you can't ask them any detailed questions. All they can do is run the spreadsheet on their laptop and show you pictures of other work their company has done. They were trained on how to make a sale, that's it.

Had to go with someone who I had a little trouble communicating with, but at least I could verify he knew what they were doing and understood my concerns about how the work got done.

You go to fun parties.
the scene is a real graph. the difference between imperative and declarative becomes more evident with examples, for instance three: https://codesandbox.io/s/basic-threejs-example-with-re-use-d... and react: https://codesandbox.io/s/basic-react-example-with-re-use-e2z...

declaring the graph in combination with hooks is how you form self-reliant components.

as for leaf nodes, if they pre-exist they are declared as props, but you can also declare them. they are part of the graph. the only difference is that they don't go into "children".
I worked as a manager in a mega-corp. One of tricks I was told by other managers is to put your best employees on the ‘focus’ list (grade 3) so they cannot leave for a better position/team in the company. But they would get bonuses because the bonuses were per team and HR was not aware who gets what.

Of course the ‘focus’ list was a secret list :)
How much call, apply and bind is abstracted away in reactjs?

I also agree that the assignment of "this" is pretty difficult to grasp, especially in large codebases with callbacks, fn as arguments, and the issue still remains, despite fat arrow functions, async/await and promises.
Someone mentioned prototypes, that's a double edged sword, it can help to have own prototypes but it can cause so much confusion.

Yes - nothing of interest left, apart from some very old patent troll lawsuits.

IMO it's more interesting just how dated the technology is. DEC and SGI made huge super-expensive machines (by modern standards) and I'm typing this on an iMac Pro which is somewhere between 1000 and 10000 times faster than a VAX 11/780 and would easily leave an SGI Octane in the dust.

Even knowing Moore's Law, I don't know how many people expected that kind of progress back in the 80s or 90s.
Go back and watch films from the early 70s - the comedies are farcically stupid and the serious films are violent and paranoid, because between Vietnam, Watergate, and other political issues, its was a tough time and people were angry, disillusioned, and pessimistic. Spielberg's first commercial film Duel is a very fine piece of cinema but it's far from being 'fun.' Likewise Lucas' early work like THX1138 or American Graffiti is shot through with anxiety about the future and lost innocence. Hitchcock could do great screwball comedies but he alternated them with nightmarish vortexes on taboo subjects.

What you want are optimistic films where people get into trouble but keep their sense of humor and eventually bounce back. That requires a social and cultural environment, and a showbusiness industry, in which people can do the same. Have you heard many stories lately where a talented director goes way over budget or even bombs but makes a great comeback because people are forgiving and want to support a real artist? You have not, because the arts are heavily professionalized these days and computers have made accountants very powerful.
It's funny you mention media software. GTK was originally written as a toolkit for GIMP (It stood for GIMP Tool Kit).
