> but what about the engineers who conduct technical interviews?

You will be lucky if they read your resume at all, and when they do, it'll likely be on their phone as they walk down the hall to the interview room.

Resumes are mostly to get past the HR filter, and maybe impress the hiring manager - the engineer interviewing cares how you perform in the room itself.

Also at a lot of big companies, interviewing is not for specific teams, so the odds of someone they haven't specifically headhunted ending up on their team is low.
Does ATSC/NTSC work the same way as DVB-T/PAL with regards to signal quality at the same DB?
You're clearly under the impression that all that Facebook does is get you good click-through rates and low conversion rates. Similarly, you're under the impression that Google's conversion rates are through the roof. Did you ever stop to ask yourself if your world view might be limited to a small sample size (eg: your own experiences)? I know plenty of businesses where the conversion rates are exactly the opposite of what you described. It turns out, the right marketing platform is related to the product you're selling. For example, if you want to buy a vacuum, Google will do a great job in connecting you with the right advertiser. But what if you just started a new hobby and don't yet know what it is that you need in that hobby? Eg, you started racing, but have no idea that upgrading your suspension will get you more performance than upgrading your exhaust? The advertiser selling suspension components will use Facebook to share this information with you (and Facebook will do a much better job than Google of identifying the person who needs that component but doesn't know it yet), and they will also advertise on Google as well, but Google will only be relevant once the buyer starts researching suspension solutions. Kind of nice to be the first one to pitch a suspension solution to a willing buyer, don't you think?

> When my parents buy iPhones, the first thing I'll be telling them is which button to push when apps want to stalk them.

There's a "always, silently, deny" option in settings for this. It's labeled something like "allow apps to request tracking" and if you turn it off, they can't and just get a "no". No more asking per app, which is fine because it's not like anyone would ever want to allow it. It's not as if it's the kind of prompt where someone might actually want to say yes, sometimes. The screen is easy to find by searching "track" in iOS settings.

I know because this headline prompted me to double check that I had it set correctly.

If only it were dead dead. Not kind of dead, but actual dead. Instead, it's the walking dead. There is so much content recorded in NTSC that is still needing to be dealt with for the non-NTSC formats of today and tomorrow. So many people have done so many bad things to an NTSC video due to a lack of understanding the peculiarities of NTSC that causes us today so much pain.

NTSC was such a total kick the can down the road solution. The number of B&W sets that had been sold that forced the decision to make the signal remain compatible with those B&W sets is such a small number that we probably see that same number of sales in a week now. Hindsight and all that, but the repercussions of that decision has cost the industry so much. Then again, niche jobs exist because of it, and I've pretty much made a living from it.

If it's as easy as tapping a button, anyone will choose privacy.

> It was a time of stronger worker movements, unions, emancipation and policy aimed at the larger demographics of the public.

A lot of the things you mentioned only developed during the time when there was (or seemed to be) a compelling competing ideology.

Communism/socialism was seen as a potential alternative to capitalism during that time, and I think that the competition of ideas during that time led to more benefits for the lower end of the economic ladder.

Housing loans here are low interest relatively. Paying as little as you can to get into a house is generally the go to advice. Multiple reasons: rents here can be quite high and buying a house can be near the same cost (not true in all markets). Appreciation on real estate is constantly happening in the US. (Meaning you will make money if you sell and move to a lower cost region) Investing your overly large down payment into the market is generally preferred instead of putting it into the house. It allows you to have better leverage and get better returns. If I can put my money into a market that returns 6-8% YOY instead of a loan that is 3%, gonna do that… It’s simple maths about which one will likely turn out better.

I’m not sure how much people put down for a payment in Germany but in US, it’s 3.5% to 20% as the norm. 20% being what was traditionally done but more and more people are finding ways to put down less and it is financially more optimal a lot of times as real estate is appreciating quickly and the market is booming too.

There are also some tax incentives for house ownership that aren’t available to renters. The US is setup for homeowners, not renters.

But I don’t think all of this is the main reason why they try to not rely on the bank of mom and dad… the individualism thing is more to do with that.

Trickle down doesn't work because it is motivated by the people who benefit from it rather than a macroeconomic need.

If the labor market is a buyer market (employers picking employees) then trickle down can't work by definition because the labor market is already stacked in favor of the employers. They already obtained all possible positive sum benefit from the strategy.

If the labor market is a sellers market then trickle down could work in theory but a sellers market means we are in an economic boom/expansion so people are happy and don't need further interventions beyond a raise in the interest rate.

>But in a network economy, the means of production have shifted. It’s 10X more fluid, can create wealth at a much higher rate, decrease costs at a much higher rate, and the network can raise all boats.

Okay now things are getting stupid. Economic saturation (aka overproduction) is sort of perverse. When companies boost production (creating wealth at a much higher rate), demand doesn't necesssarily catch up with increased production. [0] What happens is that the increase in productivity allows you to employ less people. That means less people can afford the overproduction because they are out of a job temporarily. Demand is going down in the short term. This means we are overproducing even more products relative to demand, resulting in even more layoffs. Lots of stuff and nobody there to buy it. Lack of demand then results in lack of investment. The economic growth and productivity growth are slowing down...

[0] It may sound shocking but billionaires wouldn't be billionaires if they didn't spend less than they earn. Creating more billionaires or giving them more money is an effective way of decreasing demand and thus the potential for your economy to grow.

> it doesn’t matter

It doesn't matter yet. Applications of pure math happen downstream decades or centuries later. It's hard to predict the impact.
Even if they make that distinction I don’t think they care.
I think you'd have to say exactly what you mean by "matter".

At one point in my life I felt like the continuum hypothesis was the most important question in the world. Now I'm mostly concerned about finite material issues, e.g. my health. I think a good argument can be made why either of them matter much more than the other.
You may not be in one job forever, and you can move between about 10,000 tech companies through a long career if you are in the Bay.
Succinct, obtuse, self-pitying and dissembling. Probably a Gawker writer.

If one goes around committing tortious invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress, one will get sued for it eventually, and possibly lose in court.

Yes, even if you call yourself a "journalist" while doing so. Yes, even if your targets for abuse are icky-poo wrongthinkers like Thiel and Bollea, who shouldn't have access to legal remedies because darn it, they have declasse opinions contra to the "speak truth to power" crowd.

Getting sued is getting off easy, and deep down Denton & co. knew that losing in court was the worst thing that could happen to them-it wasn't like they embarrassed John Gotti or Chapo Guzman, or someone else whose retaliation would involve semtex and garrottes.
The interesting bit here is the discussion of the considerations that go into designing hardware based random number generators and how their specific implementation on a resource constrained mobile device works.
"postmodern neo Marxists" in a foot note. It may have been unintentional, but it's essentially the cultural Marxism conspiracy, repackaged by Jordan Peterson.

It had nothing to do with anything else in the document but had to stay for some reason.

Edit: actually it looks like by the version that's public he did reword it, but I recall it being worse originally. It's still like a completely terrible understanding of intersectionality, but at least it's not as overtly antisemitic.

You can have your simplicity one of two ways:

* Devops - one repo, one deploy, let the developers figure out which repo is which.

* Developer - one codebase, let the devops people sort it out and write lots of tooling to make my monorepo work.

If this stuff was easy, everyone would be a developer.
I apologise for the title. HN has a short limit for title length, so I came up with my own title. I thought this title did a decent job of presenting, using short language, the main application that the authors gave top-billing in the README.

I am not affiliated with the project.

JOSH claims to be reversible, so it could be used in either direction, which is where the multiple use cases come in. Treating subsets of a repo as their own repo, or treating multiple repos as one. I would say there is some application overlap between this and git submodule/subtree/subrepo and also tools like copybara.

While it's still early days, it's reasonably to say it's seemingly working okay.

The first Starliner mission was, basically, a failure - but it's a failure that Boeing, rather than NASA, is having to pay for, including the reflight of the Orbital Flight Test.

Despite setbacks, the Commercial Cargo program seems to be going well. One note is that Orbital (now Northrup Grumman) had to purchase flights from a competitor to fulfill their contracts, which they did.

The Lunar Gateway appears to be moving/have moved to this model, and so far so good.

I'd say one of the big things to do is to compare this against what NASA has been able to accomplish with traditional contracts, recently. Since 2005, the Ares program launched one model rocket in 2009. (The first stage of Ares 1X wasn't the one intended for Ares I, and the second stage was boilerplate.) SLS will likely have it's first flight later this year or early next year, and then a second flight in 2023, and will probably have cost ~$25B by then.

I think it's probably fair to say the commercial programs have accomplished more, especially for the money.
Lololol. U gay.
People get to deny tracking and still use Facebook. Of course they like that choice.

Would they be willing to accept the end of Facebook to stop the tracking? No. How do we know that? Because they kept using it in the past.
IANAMU (I Am Not A Monorepo User), but as far as I understand monorepos and their advantages, I'm not sure what the use-case for this tooling is.

Most of the time, when an org chooses to move to having a monorepo (rather than just being left with one by accident of history), the key advantage they're striving to attain, is the ability to make changes to cross-cutting concerns across many distinct applications/libraries, with single commits/PRs. To change an API, and all of its internal callers, atomically, without having to worry about symbolically binding the two together with dependency version constraint resolution.

Which is to say, the key advantage of a monorepo comes from having the whole monorepo checked out locally.
You need to read some Paulo Freire.

Sometimes I think the violent attitude towards the planet… you picked the wrong scale.

I’d rather the technologically rich and educated take a sober look at their educated destruction of the planet rather than think they have THE philosophy to teach indigenous peoples.

This is just getting absurd. Rich countries concern themselves with the fiscal cost versus the real cost. But let’s ignore that discourse to ponder the poor education of the natives, making them oblivious savages.

I don’t really know about “civilized society” these days. Seems just as entitled to living in an epistemology that’s completely decoupled from reality, and believing it’s their universal duty to boast globally how unhinged they are. Sounds pretty colonial still. Missionary like. Literally less violent to each other today, but just as driven to bring on the end times through mindless consumption. Witness me; like and subscribe!
Finally finished my Ethereum framework
Hey everyone. For the past couple of years I’ve been working on my Ethereum framework called Delib, and now it’s basically done. The coolest part about it is that you are able to make transactions to smart contracts directly from the command line. This allows you to test contracts without writing any code at all. The library also features a simple library that makes creating Dapps a breeze. The link to the npm package is here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/delib. Would love it if you guys would check it out. Thank you!
This is kind of the equivalent of asking why does your life matter?
It does happen on computing too. Even on very recent machines, very recent OS kernels you can notice the layers. Very odd to see.
> "Not all infinities are equal"

In other words, there are different categories of infinite, and it might be inappropriate to represent infinity with just one symbol! This article is about how many types of infinity might exist.

I was taught there is countably and uncountably infinite. Integers are countably infinite because the number of integers between any two numbers if finite. Real numbers are uncountably infinite because there are infinite numbers between any two real numbers.
I've been there. It's nice but it's not "the mountains" in the sense of Santa Cruz much less the Sierras. I'm pretty sure I'd feel a lack of recreation opportunities to my liking in the Austin area.
It’s interesting, and fun.

Most modern pure math is done completely independent of and without regard to applications(if it were, it would be ‘applied math’).

These explanations come from delusional people. The real explanation is that targeting really doesn't exist in any useful form.
Considering the platforms have to prioritize content based on something (and since pretty much all of them have sworn off timelines) do you really think expertise of the source on the subject matter is a criteria that takes it into censorship.
I agree with your take and it is ironic/funny because the rise of SF is so much due to capitalism run amok.
I think the OP meant AdSense (now Google Ads), which is when publishers display ads from Google's advertiser inventory. Those are a combination of text-only or banner ads. Although I mostly see banner ads on the rare occasions I turn off my adblocker.
I don’t like this framing because it implies any piece of pure math becoming useful is just a matter of time, and I see no reason to suspect this is the case.
We know that the cardinality of the natural numbers is less than the cardinality of the real numbers. The Continuum Hypothesis, which is a long unsolved problem, states that there are no sets with cardinality between the two. The posted article states that this new result strengthens the case against the hypothesis, that is that’s it’s probably false.

All of this is nuanced but is important to mathematics and philosophy.
NTSCobol
I've known some pretty healthy and active 90 year olds that could benefit. The problem might be, that if the young heart pumps to strongly, thin or weak blood vessels might start too leak under the higher pressure of a young heart.
This happens when they give certain drugs to increase blood flow, on a weak heart, but then, for example, the eye blood vessels leak, causing macular degeneration. On the other hand perhaps a heart would be controlled by the body automatically whereas the body can't control a drug dose?
progressivism isn’t the problem in SF, I’m not sure how anyone can think their city level policies are progressive
Twitter, Facebook struggle to control racist use of emojis
That’s a bit of a cop out. The Bay Area had some of the most progressive politicians and progressive policies in the country.

I’ve seen plenty of progressives claim “they aren’t true progressives” but that comes across as a bit of a “no true Scotsman” argument that you hear from defenders of communism.

And it begs the question - if no one has been able to attain “true” whatever, is it really even an option?

Because this advances math. Same could be said for lambda-calculus and yet here we are with FP.
Thanks so much! And yeah I took a lot of that feedback to heart, and have been working hard to make improvements in many aspects and communicate more clearly about things like data storage and where calculations happen (i.e. client side). For couples, things like age values are from the perspective of the person creating the plan, and yeah the idea is to just add in their income, expenses, goals, etc. Switching status to Married in the tax section should auto-adjust contribution limits for US investment types, but custom limits can be set on most things as well. Couples planning is still not perfect overall, but is at least better than how it was before. And if you have more ideas on how it could be improved on from here, just let me know!
You are confusing numbers with natural numbers.

"A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label."
Indeed; isn't life wonderful. We can still choose to ignore the noise, or treat it with skepticism, do our own investigation etc. We're not forced to listen. But yeah, sure, the media also share some of the blame - they're people too. These are problems of humanity's making.
haha yeah, noones going to go back to subversion. The sum of the pain of the SVN problems solved by git is much larger than the slight pain of using git for a mono-repo.
Not to mention they keep updating older hardware for a long time. My parents have my old DS212j (2011) and it still gets updates.

How exactly would a dart cause cancer? I'm curious.
Like some people, I was expecting to find a way to have the advantages of a monorepo while having projects in separate repos.
This is something Bloomberg is doing, and it's very cool. Each project is a separate repo, but they have a central integrated "repo" with all the repos, which is the "source of truth", and were code is built and deployed from.
You can commit changes in your repo, and then you "release" the code into the integrated repo, which will rebuild all the transitive dependencies and run their tests to make sure everything still works. If anything fails, your release of the code is not merged in the repo.
I'm now working with a monorepo, and I much prefer the Bloomberg approach.
Cross repo changes can be made atomically (you update the reference in the integration repo for multiple individual repositories at once), and that is usually the big sell point of monorepo. And it doesn't have the downsides of the monorepo.
The only issue is that it's not very ergonomic, and there isn't a tool to make that easy.
But building such a tool is definitely easier than implementing a virtual FS as it has been done in multiple companies.

I'd love if someone still working there were to write a nice post about that system, it was the first of such a kind I saw.
What is wrong with changing your mind?

If you never do that, how can you learn anything?
> According to the Phoronix reader involved with the Le9 work, he's reportedly able to run Mozilla Firefox with 37 tabs as well as having Skype, Discord, two PDFs, and LibreOffice all running on an aging decade old system with just 2GB of RAM.

What does the patch do? According to my very quick read it will lock some pages in the cache. And because they are talking about a swapless system it means it that the system will kill processes earlier because it runs out of memory earlier. Their viewpoint is that killing some process is less damage than have the everything running but thrashing and thereby unusable for the normal user.

That all makes some sense to me. Except that it absolutely does not explain how 37 Firefox tabs, Skype (which is a Chromium) and whatever they list there could suddenly run. The patch does not magically add available memory.

Something does not match in that story.
Compared to moving to another country? Yes it absolutely is. There are no legal impediments for moving to and living/working in another state for a US citizen. This in contrast to even the EU, where despite freedom of movement, there are significant legal restrictions/requirments depending on state/jurisdiction for permanent alien residency.

The only real impediment to moving between states as a US citizen is financial and social, but this is the case literally everywhere, even intrastate.
