Ask HN: Do you hate your job?
After less than an hour of being logged in I find myself feeling very strongly that I should quit. I hate my job. There aren't really any alternatives.

Do you hate your job? Any tips to make it easier to deal with?
It looks quite nice. But also unneccessary complex. Why are there special URL types? Why do the time types not follow ISO8601 but almost?
> It is circumstantial evidence, but I wouldn't expect an increase in radical activity on social media to occur in a society in which most people are afraid to express their views due to fear of omnipresent surveillance.

The consistent "haha only serious" taunt I hear on the left is directed towards "Twitter activists" – leftists whose only contribution is to tweet, and who aren't politically active outside of their social media bubble.

I'd almost wonder if taking a hands-off approach to social media benefits the surveillance state: undirected radical energy flows into social media and away from organizations that could try to focus it towards change. Those organizations remain small, which means the people who are actually likely to radicalize are easier to watch. Social media as a "pressure relief valve", I guess.

Someone may point out that sometimes that pressure relief valve gets stuck and we experience stochastic terrorism, which is very true. But I contend that benefits the state as well.
Apple is implementing Metal support for ANGLE directly in the WebKit repo. The work is being upstreamed. The upstreaming process is not yet finished but Apple's implementation is fairly complete as it is the basis for the new WebGL 2 support in Safari. WebGL 2 is based on GLES3.0, so 3.1 or 3.2 features may not be supported (compute shaders being the most important feature there).
Actually, as worded, I think "no" is technically the correct answer to that. The current projected/expected arrival time would be altered at the time that you begin driving more quickly, but the planned arrival time is ossified before you start the car.
In my daughter's school during PE on Zoom one kid always had only the left half of his body showing, everybody thought it's a limitation of his camera or something. Then one day his cat moved his laptop and everybody realized he was moving only the visible part of his body and was playing on his phone in the other hand the whole time.

The headline feels wrong, as the author started by laying out their assumptions, and revised after more or less getting their question answered.

One could just as easily form this as a question.

“All three are usually at the application layer in my experience. Would you like me to discuss this, or give you a more general mapping?”

In either case, asking questions before answering is something any good interviewer should be looking for as a positive signal.

A general knowledge question like this, though, seems designed for a quick answer, so I’d only ask the question if I was really confused rather than splitting hairs.
The headline is accurate because that's one subject of the lawsuit. If I'm understanding it correctly after skimming through the filing(read especially page 6 and 9):

1. the plaintiff argues that in Boston case (page 6) apple store only took less than 10 minutes to identify the shoplifter, so they probably used facial recognition tech. Note the shoplifter left the store, apple found the incident, report it to police within 10 minutes, without actually detain the person.

2. I'm guessing the facial recognition is actually accurate because it was based on their previous security video, not plaintiff's real id photo(which apple probably don't have access all the time). So the facial recognition just linked one person with previous security video properly, and the id of person was based on previous record made by employee.

3. Thus there is nothing wrong here with facial recognition, but the title will definitely evoke fear and people's emotion since most people will not see the details.

You are probably lucky enough to be a US citizen. If you are an immigrant an arrest is a problem everytime you need reapply for a visa/residence permit. The question in the paperwork is always "have you been arrested", not "have you been convicted of a crime". In this case you'd like to see lengthy prison sentences for all involved, the whole chain of command.
Probably yes, although I'm not sure I understand exactly what ShowHN is.

I fully understand your concerns, but I don't know how to guarantee that the pkl is ok. Don't run it on your computer, but in some isolated environment, like Colab.
I find the hoops that people are jumping through to rationalize element-vs-attribute use fascinating.

How about: markup languages are good for encoding text, and everything that isn't directly part of text content ("metadata") goes into attributes? Arrives at about the same judgement regarding the relative merit for the use cases you mentioned.

I'd like to add that, while XMPP is XML-based, it might be more suitable to use a full-blown SGML parser to deal with XMPP streams being presented as incomplete XML (eg end-element tags missing) which SGML can deal with in a formal way (end-element inference).
Designed like that.

Indeed, it works well in the way you describe.

Russia and Iran do cyberattacks all the time. We have good evidence of these attacks from many sources. Same with China. The idea that these attacks are just being made up or we don't have evidence who executed them is either willfully ignorant (a google search will provide plenty of evidence) or actively malicious.

This is an awful idea and I love it.

As others have pointed out it's strictly worse than a static HTML site in many, many ways. At the same time though, it's a brilliant criticism of many of the worst aspects of the modern web.

This is art.
So you're making my point, then. Most people who trot out the line about how electric stoves are not suitable for Chinese cooking don't know or care about Chinese cooking and just want to use it as a cudgel.

Most of the things in this article are deliberately avoided in cities these days. Sufficient seating, public transport, and walkable streets make things easier for poor/homeless/other untouchables, and making their lives worse is prioritized above making the space better.

It's possible, and would be useful, but generally not to the same extent. Many species of magic mushrooms have extremely precise weather triggers, whereas for most other species it's more like "go outside the 3rd week of July and look next to beech trees."

I love ancient board games. It's amazing to think about chess and how rules have been changed slightly over time for 1000 years. The game has since been stable for about 500. The computer era is revolutionizing the game again and maybe will usher in new popular variants (Fischer random, no castle chess) as our understanding of the game evolves.

It's worth pointing out that if you're in the UK, for reasons that I'm sure make sense to someone, magic mushrooms are very illegal. Courtesy of the Basement Project [1]:

* The 2005 Drugs Act amended the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 to clarify that both fresh and prepared (e.g. dried or stewed) magic mushrooms that contain psilocin or psilocybin (such as the ‘liberty cap’) are Class A drugs. This means it’s illegal to have this type of ‘magic mushrooms’ for yourself, to give away or to sell

* Possession is illegal and can get you up to seven years in jail and/or an unlimited fine.

* Supplying someone else, even your friends, can get you up to life imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine.

> pdf/a is all there is

Nobody is requiring you to use PDF/A. No mainline browser (that I'm aware of) requires it.

So what is being solved? When I click on a PDF on the web, I don't know if it's using PDF/A, I don't know if it's embedding or linking its fonts. So it's the same situation, nothing has changed.

Telling people to use PDF/A when most clients do not enforce it and when there's no indication to users before they click on a link whether or not the link is following the spec -- it is exactly the same as telling them to use a subset of HTML; the author is doing the same thing they complain about.

You can't just say that PDF/A exists. That's not enough, how will you get people to restrict themselves to that format when 99% of their users will never notice the difference and no client is enforcing it?
It should be interesting. It's such a blatant perversion of justice. We should be mad at everyone involved, not just the media for not covering it.

I'm ashamed of a lot of things my country (UK) has done. But this is the latest. We should be better than this.
I think criticism with the argument of bias often falls flat. I think AI and robots actually will show us much about our own biases. There is the criticism that any data set collected by humans will reflect our biases and that criticism is valid depending on the data. But I think machines will still be quite apt at identifying our blindspots, so there is much potential here.

Aside from that I share the fears the author has about possible developments in overemphasized trust in AI.

You model can be as sophisticated as your imagination allows but it will remain an approximation of reality. This simplification can be dangerous since it might hide important factors whose influence isn't intuitive but still relevant.
I disagree with this. If you believe that one thing "3 tier" means is that the client doesn't interact directly with a database, as the old fat-client -> database model did, then "MVC" was one pattern to accomplish that. So, to me, there is some relationship. Enough of one to have a interview discussion about it.

I do agree that they aren't the same thing, but they are pretty clearly related to me.

The interview question was “How does this architecture relate to the model-view-controller pattern?”
Is that actually an internal Google goal? If so, dear god, no wonder they are so willing to sacrifice the long term health of the internet in return for short term hypergrowth. No company Google's size can grow that fast without some serious dark patterns and user abuse.

>> * PDFs are self-contained and offlineable

> HTML can easily be offline-able. Base64 your images or use SVG, put your CSS in the HTML page, remove all 2-way data interaction, basically reduce HTML to the same performance as PDF and allow it to be downloaded.

You're missing the point. Even a relatively computer-illiterate person can easily save a PDF to my hard drive, and it's significantly more difficult with HTML. At a minimum you're probably going to get an HTML file with a sidecar directory (or I believe a sometimes browser-specific archive, it's been a long time since I tried since it works so poorly), and even that may not have the content you want to due to dynamic sites.
I read it on my phone. I then clicked an external link at the end and then hit my browser back button. I had to wait for the PDF to re-load and was unhappy when I found myself back at the top of the document.

I would get a much better experience with html.

Two months ago I went to the Walmart in Cortland, NY and they had a self-check system I could only describe as "awesome".

I'm sure there was a staffed cash register somewhere but I couldn't see it.

The next week I saw the staff in Ithaca, NY struggling with the same system, but the week after that they had it running smoothly.

It made the checkout experience at the Union Square (NY, NY) whole foods look like it needed a "digital transformation".
This is just a non-story. The guy gave testimony under oath (or signed an affadavit) and submitted it to court under penalty of perjury. Then the case was adjudicated in Assange's favor. Then months later he recants to the press. It's more likely he's lying now as PR than he was lying when his life depended on it. And his story is now completely moot since the case is over. Very few people are sufficiently interested in this story to make a big deal out of non-binding details. The case itself barely made news until it was decided.
Yeah, I couldn't find the specific wording right now and whether there was some sort of plausible play with the word "planned". This question is also translated.
Looks a bit like Mancala. I don't know much about Senet, but we played Mancala all the time, when I was a kid (in Africa).

Ellsberg's charges were dismissed because of gross government misconduct, that doesn't settle anything.
Nice effort, but as with all these "this X does not exist" image generators, it gives you an uncanny feeling. Something about some of the images is slightly off, but you (or at least I) are not able to put your finger on it most of the time. One of the things I was able to put my finger on are the palm trees - some of them have leaves hanging in mid-air...
It's also single threaded, i.e. it can only handle one read/write request at a time (fuse can do more but ntfs-3g doesn't implement it). That has kind of acceptable performance with hard disks but with SSDs it is really slow.
If we were going to ban gas stoves the obvious way to do it would be to forbid sale and installation of new ones, not to mandate that everyone immediately replace their existing stoves.

Again, I have a gas stove for the first time with my home now. I don't find it that much better and I don't really like the hazards associated with it. I cook frequently. Perhaps I'd feel differently if I'd learned to cook on gas and then went to electric, rather than the other way around, because the issue people have seems mostly to be not accounting for the temperature not being easy to change on the fly.

> The point I was trying to make was that it's not possible to be an ideologue when your head is in a cloud of math and code; and when you look up, you're the one with your fingers in running the system that runs the platforms that all these know-nothing people use to amplify their pet politics and shout at each other all day.

This isn’t true though. The very platforms you’re talking about have many employees that are keeping the systems running and also steeped in politics. There are tons of very overt and loud neo-liberals in tech. Same goes for leftists and libertarians.

You seem to dislike social media activism. Fair enough, but like I said it’s orthogonal to one’s politics and technical competence.

Yup. Minimal editing will remove the music though, plus it's still evidence in a court so it's an attempt to avoid public outrage.

App idea: Strip copyrighted music from a video while retaining voice. Shouldn't edit the original video though, it's evidence.
My first programming job interview (like 100 years ago) was a group interview. One guy asked me to write string compare in C.

Not sure I did it right, but I basically walked the two char* pointers looking for a '0' or a mismatch. The guy asking the question said, "No, first you should compare the string lengths -- since if they have a different length they will be different."

I was nervous, but I thought he was wrong. I said, "Well, to get the length you need to walk both strings, so that isn't faster."

He got annoyed and said, "They have optimized functions for that!"

I didn't argue. Needless to say, I didn't get the job :)

I hate to say it, but Language is a theater of war in the modern world. English has a large and loose lexicon that gives manipulators plenty of room to make insinuations while still being technically correct.
That's entirely reasonable, and that's exactly why you hire engineers that are aware of this, and don't base their choices on ego.

If you hiring involves ego, you're going to end up with a Challenger disaster some time down the road.

The principle of specialty prevents a requesting state changing the charges after extradition, without re-requesting the extraditing state. I mean, the UK has no way of stopping it, but it would undermine the legal comity that the US needs to get future cases extradited. Murder, for example, is only extraditable from the UK to the US if binding commitments are made not to seek the death penalty. If the UK courts stopped trusting US commitments then that would be at serious risk. Incidentally, this would also have been a bar to onward extradition from Sweden to the US if that had gone ahead.

I'm not saying they couldn't get consent for the UK for a superseding indictment, but it's certainly not as straightforward as dropping one they've prepared earlier and laughing manically.
