Oh gosh I hate this about wondery business wars[0]. Very informative but also very annoying when they conjure up complete/narrated conversations between people e.g. a tech CEO and an investor or customer. This happens a LOT in the show.

all the fact check sites i know of are overtly right wing, or just right wing through funding and institutional configuration.

most of the journalist ethics-type orgs like Poynter have been bought by Koch.

the museums have been bought by the likes of Koch and Bezos.

Wikipedia has been whitewashed for the last 10 years at least, and never was much for giving accurate accounts of actually-important things/people/places/ideas.

i think you might need to just think about the logical conclusion of your ideal site -- what does it look like? a bunch of statements with tens/hundreds/thousands of comments? by whom? robots? gtp-3? russia? china? koch? would that actually be helpful to anyone? how to deal with 'trick questions'?

right now, we also have the #bothsides narrative for every fact. alternative facts, for instance. good people on both sides. all that stuff.

i would be interested in something like....a moderated place to go for facts -- published with editors -- paid for by ???? -- and experts coming to some consensus as of 'current date'.

think of one example question, and how it might look, and how it should look.

Was the American Civil War primarily fought over slavery?

Who gets to comment? I suspect 'serious historians' would say 'Yes' at about a 95% clip.

But how do you pick those 'serious historians'? Do they have to be at Berkeley? What about a Koch chair at Hoover Institute?

I know a lot of the top experts of any particular topic can often be spread out -- lone wolves at varied institutions, sometimes smaller colleges, even state schools.

To be interesting, I think you'd have to declare your political allegiance -- in part because right now the right wing in America is dedicated to fake news, fake history, anti-science, anti-intellectualism, etc. They truly live in their own manufactured reality.

A very large proportion of people who commit suicide are severely mentally ill.
I guess so. Some newer libraries,
especially if they target "modern backend" stuff like webassembly, websockets, ... are written in Rust. When safety is a concern it could be really preferable.

But, say, if you don't have a good support for your platform Rust is not useful. Ditto for most existing codebases. And in any case I don't see why your primary concern should be being modern vs getting things to work well
My first thought was that a built-in GPU could measure certain parameters about the display and adjust the color profile to be "pro" level accurate.

Most default / "auto" profiles for monitors and TVs are accurate enough for lay people out of the box. But for people who really need color accuracy, you need a calibration device. So maybe Apple is trying to obviate the need for a calibration device and have the "smart" monitor calibrate itself.

(The built-in GPU might even use data from an iPhone like the "color balance" feature Apple announced at the "Spring Loaded" keynote recently.[1] The AppleTV uses information from the IR array on the front of the iPhone to help calibrate your TV for use with AppleTV.)

I'll ask algorithmically interesting questions inspired by past problems I've solved within relevant domains. They're often solvable with some element of binary sorting. I don't care if someone uses a standard library or googles something, but I'll notice if they choose to use one and use it wrong. The classic example is assuming a dict in python is a tree rather than an unsorted hash map.

Walking out of an interview like that is certainly a great way to not get hired. That's fine if you didn't want to work there anyway I guess, and nice for the interviewers because they learned enough to end the candidacy confidently knowing they dodged a bullet. Strong engineering teams solving worthwhile problems want to hire people that charge head first into difficult problems and get their hands dirty.

If I were in a similar situation where I was asked to write an algorithm I was unfamiliar with, I would probably just say up front that I have no idea how to do that, and then start asking the interviewer questions about how it might work. I would also quickly try to identify a real world example of a problem they're hoping to solve with that algorithm, and then brainstorm alternative ways to solve that problem in ways I'm more familiar with.
Arguably PKI can do that exactly if it is paired with a facial recognition toolkit... A slippery slope.
To be fair on Syncthing, it's not nearly as difficult as that particular article made it out to be.

If you want to run the normal CLI-with-a-web-server Syncthing on Android, sure you could do that... but you could also much better serve your time by just having the Syncthing app with a native Android GUI with it. The day-project turns into a 5-minute project.
I don’t know if it’s changed but when I was applying for colleges in 2007 many of them used the same application process called the “common app”. Any university using that meant you only had to fill out information once, including essays, and then you could send out the same application to multiple universities.

The same people who are seeking equity in college are seeking it in high school and elementary school and preschool. The same opponents and arguments come out against them at all of these phases.

I have personal experience with this work in both the elementary school and high school levels. What you are saying here is simply false.
Another thing is we're extrapolating small tidbits of news to the general population. Just because Frito-Lay workers are striking does not indicate any general trends. In order to deduce anything - we need to look at broader statistical data. There must be some name for this phenomenon where we hear a news story and we immediately generalize it.

Anecdotally, I know several friends (with arts background) that have found jobs now and really well paying ones (galleries). The arts business hasn't seen a boom like this before. There is so much cash in the economy, thanks to printing $18 trillion last year.

There are certainly other factors, but a cup is far from the specific solution you seek [0]. There's only one country that has current unit definition of a cup (the US), which is 8 (US) fluid ounces (fl.oz) (or 236.6ml), or differently as a "legal" cup at 240ml [1]. It used to be defined as 10 Imperial fl.oz in the UK (284ml), although rarely used. While much of the world defines a metric cup as 250ml. But then there's the exception that is coffee.. a cup of coffee in the US is the product of using 5 fl.oz producing approximately 4 fl.oz of coffee[0]

A "cup": 118-284ml

Ask HN: How Are Salaries for Senior DevOps Engineers in Toronto?
I'm planning to move to Toronto from Sydney, Australia. I got an offer from a company which is ~150k+bonus+relocation, but that's way lower than my current comp in Australia.

What would you say is a good salary for Toronto and which employers pay well?

Thanks!
From what I've seen the biggest problem is that the estimates are done as part of a sales cycle or to get approval to spend money of some sort.

Which is a different motivator to actually getting it done.
A lot of people have a really shitty negotiating position. They're barely literate, living paycheck to paycheck and raising children. Are you really choosing your job when your options are super limited and you don't have the means to invest in yourself?
and what doesn't make sense about that, is in some respects argo reduces load on their network, because your origin makes a single outgoing connection to cf, that is then used to route traffic to you, reducing the effect of 3-6 packet tcp/tls connection start.
Still, no.

If you are insisting that a conspiracy is a secretive action towards a common end, then the US Marshals and TechDirt are the colluding parties based upon the information provided. The person who made the post is the stated target. That being said, the definition of conspiracy involves illegal or immoral actions. There is no evidence of the former in the article. The latter is largely an individual judgement call, yet there is no evidence that data exchanged hands (simply that it was preserved for a longer duration than it normally would have) so I trouble seeing it as immoral.

Calling or implying that the US Marshals' actions with respect to TechDirt a conspiracy is a large part of the reason why people dismiss conspiracies as fictional.
While Bezos at least seems to acknowledge that he bought his ticket, the fact that Elon Musk still calls himself “Chief Engineer” at SpaceX is an embarrassment, and a slap in the face to all the engineers who actually show up to do work at SpaceX.

Funny, those engineers don't seem to have any problem working for him under the title "Chief Engineer." Maybe we should ask some of them for their opinions, since theirs are the only ones that matter.
Yes, it would, just like the 10% or so of the world that are currently aeronauts. I could use aeronaut to describe myself but I don't because it's not an achievement. Yet I use the word to describe the Montgolfiers. It wouldn't diminish their achievement if I used the word to describe myself.

So we were never at war with Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Vietnam. Sweet. I guess we're still on our perfect win streak yeah?

Edit: I feel bad about being facetious, but I feel like the point is relevant. The US, in a practical sense, does not need congress to ok war. Pointing that out as a reason to doubt the basis for strict treatment of North Korea is like pointing out the speed-limit is 55 when someone travelling 56 gets T-boned.
I've left parties because they go to clubs that scan your ID and take your photo before you can enter on several occasions. Cryptographically verifiable identification is not a good idea, regardless of intentions.
Weird that ID's still don't have, say, QR-codes or something similar with a cryptographic-signature to verify that the info's accurate. Or chips like with credit-cards. Lots of different ways stuff like that could be done.

Holograms and such seem like a clumsy strategy.
The symptom of global warming is not the sole long term concern of climate change. We already have the tools to reverse global warming. I wager that a poor country with most of its GDP within 5 feet of 2021 sea level will unilaterally decide to stop global warming in the next 50 years. Maybe it's not a logical move, maybe it's already too late to save their cities, maybe it won't stop millions from dying of heat or famine, but it will be the politically savvy move of the leaders of desperate people. The decision won't be made by a bunch of rich people sitting around a nice clean table in an air conditioned room in the US or EU. The political backlash of not asking permission weighs far less than not doing it.

What does this pandora's box prospect really mean for the future? If not handled carefully then we may face even more serious ecological collapse (a la Snowpiercer). I don't think that's very likely. I think we'll see a more tempered implementation that will take a while to cool the planet. That meets the political demands of the desperate people while trying to appease the angry neighbors. The ice caps will still melt, the sea level will still rise 10 feet, and we'll still likely face ecological collapse from half a dozen different directions.

Which directions we care about most will start to matter. Should we not even bother talking about them today since us, as rich air conditioned folks wouldn't even consider the option of reflective particles in the atmosphere? Or should we face the real possibility and begin planning contingencies for it?
I'm glad I was not the only one thinking of this.
They created a lot of value in exchange for the money in the first place. Now they’re using that money to create further value (at least for SpaceX).

They made a lot of money and, as far as I’m concerned, they can spend it on whatever the hell they want. I have a ton of ideas on how people who aren’t me should spend their money, but I think it’s none of my business what they choose to do with their wealth, just as it’s none of my business what you do with yours.
It makes me sick that income inequality has gotten to the point that the top dogs can’t even flex against one another via jet aircraft and billion dollar super yachts anymore, so they are flexing with their own private NASAs, while our terrestrial infrastructure and healthcare system in the US is collapsing. It’s shameful.

I don't think the training matters. NASA could grab someone right now and send them to do science on the ISS for a few months without intensive training. Okay, they wouldn't be able to do space walks, whatever. They'd deserve the title astronaut.

Duration of the trip works right now, but I don't know if that will continue to be a useful rule.

And I would like to know your answer to my question. If we get a space shuttle out of storage, and someone pilots it but does nothing else, are they an astronaut? With said pilot being non-NASA to avoid the "everyone on a NASA mission is an astronaut" rule.
> Can't I just write basic C style procedural code in C++

You can, but the bloat Linus is complaining about comes from the ability to do that. C is a real mess and is a large part of what is holding C++ back from being simpler (for both better and worse). C seems simple, but you lose a lot of abstraction ability when you use it.

C++ seems a lot more complex, but that complexity allows you to write abstractions that do exactly what you need. Modern C++ is the discipline that lets you write good abstractions, with exactly the control needed.

Don't take the above as some sort of statement that C++ would be simple with C - that is completely untrue. Only that C++ is moving to giving people the power to write the simple and powerful abstractions they need - but the nature of those abstractions are very complex and that cannot be avoided if you need to write them.

> use OOP constructs if necessary

THIS IS FALSE TO THE CORE! C++ is NOT about OOP. C++ is about writing the style that makes the most sense. OOP is good for a subset of problems, but a lot of problems can be solved better by not using OOP, and C++ supports that. If you think of C++ as C with classes you are making a large mistake.

The common app is still in use, but most colleges require additional essays.
This. HN skews towards professionals and people with decent negotiating power.

Many people scrape paycheck to paycheck all their life. First, it is kids and housing, then as they age health. Plus, once you are 50 and all you did was factory work or gig work....your negotiating position is "I will do anything to get to the retirement".
This is what happens when we let CEOs pretend to be gods who establish a directive for all subordinate management to achieve unattainable goals. They then become sociopaths and psychotically treat people like garbage.

This comes back around to how general labor places "can't find anyone." Well in the words of Bill Engvall: "Here's your sign..."

Reducing the cost of payload insertion by a factor of 100 qualifies in my book.

People had transportation before Karl Benz and Henry Ford. I don’t think they did anything that couldn’t have been done elsewhere provided the resources were dedicated.
That's because of their bad negotiating position though, which is the point. We can do both, since one is the partial cause of the other.
nah I kinda like doritos. gatorade too. drink tons of it. just half ass your job and get fired if it’s really that bad.
> They created a lot of value in exchange for the money in the first place.

The companies they owned created a lot of value. Some of it went to the employees, and some of it went to the owners.

If I say that more of that value should have gone to the employees, and less to owners, that's a different thing from butting in and telling people how to spend the money they earned.
> They’re playing with toys, let’s move along.

"Don't be discouraged if what you produce initially is something other people dismiss as a toy. In fact, that's a good sign. That's probably why everyone else has been overlooking the idea. The first microcomputers were dismissed as toys. And the first planes, and the first cars. At this point, when someone comes to us with something that users like but that we could envision forum trolls dismissing as a toy, it makes us especially likely to invest."

The issue is that those are mechanisms to validate a card against a central authority. But most usages are in cases where the ID is self-validating and cannot be authenticated against a central authority.

What he meant that if you have an array of strings that implement Small String Optimization AND those strings are short (i.e. below the threshold for Small String Optimization) THEN they'll be contiguous in memory.

But you can be smarter than that. As it happens, I just implemented "vector of strings" where all strings are contiguous in memory.

The code: https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/commit/bc8311...

The basic idea is like you said: you keep strings contiguously in memory and maintain a separate array of pointers to each string. Except it's not a pointer but u32 index into that block of memory.

Even if those were pointers, not the u32 indexes, it would still be cache friendly.

The point is that strings are close together.

If each string was allocated with malloc() then you don't control where they are allocated.

In the worst case each string could end up in a separate cache line, which would be much slower if you were to iterate over all strings.
Correct, but you can't get much bandwidth through until the 3-way handshake is completed. Sending a bunch of unanswered SYN packets isn't really a great way to instigate a DDoS, compared to sending avalanches of 64KiB UDP packets.
Do you genuinely believe suicide can occur when initiated by an otherwise mentally and physically healthy adult? I feel like people like you tend to think suicide is a type of taboo and thoughts of it automatically get you classified as "mentally ill". Not advocating for suicide, of course, just trying to understand others' perspective. If that's true then you shouldn't keep saying "mentally ill" to imply there is an independent cause, you can just say anyone who is thinking about suicide is just suicidal and that is bad in itself. Because right now it sounds like doublespeak.
