I think why solarpunk seems to come into vogue is that it is often displaying so much more livable and humane cities than we have right now. The same goes for its ornamental design that contrasts so much with the clinically sterile look of products and designs nowadays - especially the ones that are coming out of the Silicon Valley at the moment (UIs with grey-on-white designs and no embellishments, the look of voice assistent devices, speakers, watches, SpaceX' flight suits/launch towers, Cybertruck,...).

PS: The spelling is actually "Zeitgeist" if you ever need to search for that (even though I would assume that search engines would deal with the typos just fine).
i mean, the real solution is to only buy good, compliant, backwards compatible cables and largely standardize with the feature set your most demanding high-use device requires, but that could put you at $30+ USD or more per cable.

I tend to buy Anker cables and color code them by capabilities. though to be honest, i didn't even realize USB C 3.2 had two generations-- i was pretty much just breaking it down by: white/silver 100W PD, red for 18W, and black for unknown came-with-a-thing.

btw, its about to get better and worse

If SF applied rent control to both condos and rental apartments, it might change the balance so that relatively more rental apartments would be build, and less condos. If the numbers now were 80 (condos) and 20 (rental apartments), the new numbers might be 40 and 40.
Why does any worker put up with less than ideal interview practices?

Because you need a job more than they need to hire you.

Many potential employees will be turned off by such practices, but there are plenty who will participate too.
You certainly doesn't mean that React has your business rules builtin.
> So I decided to start by giving the correct answer, and see how he responded. I explained “The model-view-controller is a software pattern, and so resides inside the written code. Since in most cases, this code only runs on the application tier, …”. But then I saw him frowning, and so knew this was not the answer the was expecting. So I continued:

This is a great cold reading technique that works in magic tricks too.

You have some trick where someone needs to pick from 10 cards. And your patter goes something like "Picture the card in your mind. Ace of hearts. Ace of hearts" If they give a big reaction then you've found their card and performed a miracle. If not then you just continue "Of course, that's just an example..." and continue the patter throwing out other hints. Of course, it's tough to make this your only trick but it can really elevate a good trick to amazing.

>Sorry, but you've got that the wrong way round. Assange was the one who wanted careful redaction and it was his media partners at the Guardian and Der Spiegel who were impatient and wanted to publish early. In the end, it was the recklessness (perhaps malice) of the Guardian journalists which resulted in the unredacted cables being released. They published the password to decrypt the unredacted archives in their book (unbelievable, but true).

Thanks for correcting this. It's frustrating how many people get this, and many other so called facts in his case, wrong.
I would say that social media sites are more akin to a bar/coffee shop/pub/public house.

While free speech is not protected there by the first amendment (as far as I know), it is still important to value it broadly to create an open atmosphere. I think of the role they played in the run-up to the American Revolution and in organizing workers, and until the dawn of the internet and the plasticized commercialization of my town, the role it played in my social and artistic life.

But what you say is an excellent point about where we are now engaging in public discourse; it has changed drastically, very quickly, and there are significant concerns about free speech now that we all hang out on websites mostly owned by large corporations.

It feels gross to me. Like meeting up at the food court of Wal Mart because every other place in town has put out of business. And the town square is almost dead and gone, both online and in real life.
Amazing how determined kids can be at trying to get off school!

The downside to this is that it deprives their classmates as entire bubbles get sent home I think.
Also the director of Nazarin Luis Bunuel was a communista and an atheist.

Edit:
Probably he was not a communist.
According to wikipedia
"Buñuel joined the Communist Party of Spain (PCE) in 1931,though later in life he denied becoming a Communist"
Wow, I really hope this much hoop jumping isn't common for hiring junior roles right now. I never had to do that much for any position I've interviewed for. Usually it's just one assessment or technical screen and then maybe some more coding in person.

I guess just determine how bad you want the job and then if you want it try to pretty it up. But if they come back wanting you to do even more than this, I'd probably look elsewhere. They're already not respecting your time.
Heh. Happens all the time with tests and questionnaires, the choice is always frustrating:

* "Does the author really mean what they are asking? Are the mistakes in the phrasing or corner cases intentional, meant to catch me, test my deep knowledge?", or

* "Is the author just not very good with logic / not thinking this through?"

I go with the latter in "soft social" contexts. Never regretted it yet.

This saved my hide recently in June, when I had to undergo a mandatory psychological examination for my gun license permit. Serious official stuff, with my permit on the line… And the "serious" psy-test was exactly as "robust" you'd expect from the field of psychology.

I answered the way I figured the test author construed the questions (= what they likely meant to ask), not what they actually asked. Easy pass.

Sooner or later either we will be worth slightly more than cost or costs will become cheap enough.

However at that point it will be too late. Like the infamous quote goes " first they came for communists/Jews"

knowing how many people can't take disagreement well, I don't think this was a poor decision, practically you can't just trust everyone to have a good head on their shoulders, when you just want a job to survive or get your foot in the door, you can't be picky with who you work for.

Useually they get some of the hackers tools / code and analyse that to discover the origin. They look for strings in a foreign language but mostly the grammer of the language is used as hackers will often write comments in a foreign language to try and make it difficult to originate.
Launch HN: Hypercontext (YC S21) – Meeting notes, actions, and OKRs in one app
Hi HN, we’re Brennan and Graham, founders of Hypercontext (https://hypercontext.com). We make an app that helps managers run their 1:1 and team meetings with action items, feedback, and OKRs (goals) in one workflow.

Most managers get promoted into their role with no training. “Oh you’re a good engineer? Great! Now manage a team of engineers and stop coding”. They’re largely leading with trial-and-error tactics. The good ones are reflective and learn, and many eventually read books on best practices and frameworks that can help them. Our insight is that it’s possible to build some of these good frameworks into a workflow so every manager can get them by default, similarly to how a good software framework lets you not have to hand-roll all the boilerplate code, so you can focus on the business logic. We think it’s time managers stop winging it (worst case) or hand rolling their management frameworks (best case) in Google Docs and Moleskin notebooks and start importing frameworks that solve the basics for them.

Previously, Graham and I have been co-founders for 10 years together. Our last startup grew to ~40 employees. When we became full-time managers we were shocked at the lack of tooling that existed for general management work. This was where the idea for Hypercontext came from. We started building tools and systems to help us fill the gaps (mainly in Google Sheets/Docs/Forms). We shared them with friends and they were loved.

Personally, I stumbled through management in my first startup. I didn’t talk about goals. I didn’t share candid feedback. I wasn’t clear or consistent. I thought I knew how to do other people’s jobs. I learned the hard way every single time. And so did all of my peers. The only way to save a fellow manager from that pain was by sharing personal tips or recommending books. We thought there must be a better way.

Hypercontext starts before the meeting: connecting to your existing meetings and helping you and your team build a collaborative agenda and show up prepared. During the meeting, often overlayed on a Google Meet: we help you take notes and action items, and email them out automatically for you. After: ML runs over your notes and generates insights about management blindspots. We then suggest questions/conversation starters for your next meeting to help to resolve them.

Finally, we’ve built a powerful goaling tool, complete with the largest library of goal/OKR examples on the internet (free here, broken up by role: https://hypercontext.com/goal-examples), that helps you collaborate, document, and discuss long-term goals every meeting before the urgent agenda topic.

Founders, CEOs, execs use our app all week to manage their job—mainly through their 1:1 and team meetings. We’re specifically helpful for folks who are doing a lot of context switching throughout their day and need to offload the “remember to talk to people about this” part of their brain.
> DTDs are one of the ugliest thing ... not sold on the whole "HTML-style error-recovery"

I think there might be a misconception here. HTML5 does have some ad-hoc rules around script, style, and noscript elements, but the vast majority of tag inference it does is straight from SGML, from which both HTML and XML are derived. Tag inference in SGML is driven by (parent) element content models and per-element tag omission indicators. For example, a minimal HTML doc can look as simple as

<title>XYZ</title>
<p>body text

and SGML and HTML infer omitted tags to arrive at

<html>
<head>
<title>XYZ</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>body text</p>
</body>
</html>

The concept of hierarchically structuring a partially tagged text document, possibly with custom Wiki syntax a la markdown, is pretty fundamental to SGML-style angle-bracket markup, and also required to unambiguously assign an address (path) to every node such that it can be styled using eg CSS. Since it requires declarations or a hard-coded vocabulary, it'd be difficult to remove DTDs/element declarations.

SGML is formalized in ISO 8879:1986, and there's absolutely nothing vague or speculative about the kind of tag inference it does. It's just that most people don't seem to know SGML and come up with ad-hoc XML extensions that can't be taken seriously without reference and alignment within the greater SGML context when XML itself is specified as a proper SGML subset.

It's interesting that you'd be willing to trade processing instructions for XML namespaces. Most experts, including the article's author, seem to agree that namespaces and XML Schema are the worst XML offenders, taking the just gained simplicity of XML away on the spot.

Any chance that there's a way to actually encrypt a device set up like that?

I usually use LUKS and EXT4 for all my drives but lately I've needed to move files to and from Windows systems on occasion, and it kills me that (from what I can tell) there are absolutely no solutions that even attempt to do something like this.

Does everyone just walk around with unencrypted portable media? I don't really want to float sensitive data on unencrypted drives, even temporarily, since that makes the data vulnerable to things like wear leveling analysis etc.
Show HN: Should I Get a House? a better rent vs. buy calculator
Not having one's health insurance tied to one's job is still a Good Thing, though.
These all seem like technical quibbles that miss the point.
My wife wants to buy a house, but I'm unable to make life decisions without trying to minmax them. I wasn't satisfied with existing rent vs. buy calculators, so I decided to build my own! I'm not a developer, so I apologize if it's a little rough looking...

Some things it takes into account:

- The actual rate of return on your down payment and extra costs of a house
- Inflation
- Itemized deductions on your taxes
- The impact of state taxes
- Mortgage interest deduction limit and SALT tax deduction limit

Let me know what you think or what improvements you would like to see!
Exactly. I couldnj't find a job during the pandemic. I refuse to work with react or angular. I finally found a vue job where I didn't have to answer stupid questions. Just an informal "get to know you" interview and that was it.

U.S. vs. Microsoft: Court's Findings of Fact (1999)
That's where I think things should change. Programmers are in demand and very hard/expensive to hire. We tend to have the advantage in this process.

You can see an example of that with remote work. After covid, most people in tech simply refused to go back to being forced in an office full time, and would simply quit their current job in favor of one that accepts remote.

It's similar here. All you need is for enough programmers to start refusing to do those tests
I'm seriously disappointed by seeing this is your take. They are threatening to have him arrested by Chinese torturers! Their conduct is beyond the pale.
Making properly accessible PDFs is possible, but it is a pain in the ass. Certainly more difficult than with plain HTML.
Yeah, 10 second load time, tiny text on a mobile device. No thanks. Sucks that people went for over-styling every site making everything painful to publish. I’d be happy with 90’s static HTML, and a few images when needed. I seek information, not “an experience”.
>Induction has immediate response time as well

Side question: do induction stoves have proper power levels yet? I used an induction stove a few years ago at a short-term vacation rental, and it could only toggle between on/off. If I set it at 50% power, it would cycle between being on and off, rather than staying on 100% of the time but at 50% power. My non-induction electric stove does the same thing. Is this an issue that is solved with higher end models?
It can mean many things, depending on their actions.

If they were just taking Exxon's money to do good things and Exxon thought it was a great PR move but still completely failed at building a good image that would be a massive win for Greenpeace in my view.
Agreed. Friedl's book launched my back-end programming career when I followed-up a reference to it in Dreamweaver 8 Bible back in 2000. Along with Programming Perl it's the most inspiring tech book I've ever read.
If the problem is that apartments are difficult to turn a profit on and condos are comparatively easy, is there a reason to think we'd get 40 and 40 instead of 20 and 20? Or worse, maybe just the 20 apartments that were already going to be built? None of which are rent controlled at all, mind you.

If this seems counterintuitive - and it did to me at first - consider that the money being spent to develop that housing has plenty of alternatives. Not all of which are SF housing. SF isn't guaranteed some level of privately-funded construction each year, after all. Trying to shift the mix runs the risk of adjusting the size of the mixture too, exactly as your suggested model does.

How would you know which stock photo was used for training? Someone may take a whole bunch of images they buy on a dark market, create a huge train model, and dump it on the public internet over torrent or something. And there would be no way to know which images were used to train the model

Wouldn't you have to do this on average five times to get the right one? Wouldn't it be a bit suspicious giving five example cards before arriving at the right one?
Due to the level of control the Chinese government imposes on all the corporations within it, is it fair to say that such acts can't be done without the cooperation on some level of the govt?

As opposed to many western countries where the companies might be patriotic, but they have minimal fear of taking on the government in general in the courts if they feel they are in the right. Perhaps Chinese companies have the same feeling of freedom, do they?
My understanding is that PDF is a monster of a document format, and it's clearly not (usually and historically) meant to be reflowed. Even copy/pasting from PDFs can be very disconcerting because the viewer may not have a good idea of where blocks of text start and end (or even what the characters really are).

I can empathize with the feeling that the web is incredibly bloated, but that's IMO throwing the baby with the bath water. Simple HTML with some optional CSS would do the job much better IMO (and can be easily downloaded, mirrored or offlined with tools like wget).

And if you really don't like writing HTML (I won't blame you) then there's always formats like markdown, org-mode and friends which can easily be converted to pretty much anything.
The fact that you put the government of the US and its 3 letters organization at the same level of some activists is hilarious.
If you want change, the conversation needs to be about proposing better alternatives for interview formats. Nobody likes interviewing because nobody likes being judged. However, interviews are structured as tests because companies can’t simply hire people based on what they claim on their resume.

It’s not true that programmers are the only profession in which candidates are tested on their knowledge or asked to perform example work. In fact, programming interviews were relatively straightforward compared to some of the trials I’ve seen given when hiring for non-programming roles. In fact, many of my non-programming peers are blown away when I tell them that our interview study material is freely available online and there are multiple free websites that will help you practice for interviews.

> Why is it considered normal for me to have to schedule a 2 hour technical interview in the middle of your current job's workday?

Why would it be abnormal to ask someone to invest 2 hours of their time in an interview? You’re applying for a job that you might hold for the next 3 years or more. Is a part day of interviewing really a dealbreaker? If nothing else, use that time to get a feel for your future coworkers and ask them questions.

The consensus seems to be that there likely isn't a problem with ARM64 FMADD compared to the IEEE standard. In light of this and the recommendation in the post - which seems to be potentially misleading.

"If you use different tools and want to ensure best results from floating point arithmetic on ARM64, you may wish to check that code generation doesn’t use fused instructions, particularly on large loops which could accumulate significant errors. It’s worth bearing in mind that authoritative texts on floating-point arithmetic are also extremely cautious about the use of such fused instructions."

I do hope that the original poster updates the post to reflect some definitive and validated conclusions. (And also not rely on Betteridge's Law for the headline!)
Thank you for sharing that, I was able to reason about this tool in a straightforward way.
