I've been hiring a couple of senior positions, and so far the most appropriate way I've seen side projects highlighted is with a link to the applicant's GitHub.

Honestly, finding a well maintained and substantive project in a person's GitHub would impress me, and that candidate would certainly stand out. So often people link their GitHub accounts, but when I visit, I only see toy projects and book exercises.

As part of my hiring process I've been giving out a simple take home coding challenge, but I offer to instead review a project you've already been working on if that's your preference, because I feel bad making people do work for a job they don't even have yet (I haven't been able to convince my boss to let me pay people for their time on the take home challenge yet).
And, from reactions to this on Reddit, super chargers are already often crowded in the western US. EM has said before that, if they open the network to other EV manufacturers, they’ll want some cash so that they can expand the network to deal with that higher demand.
He probably means programming or debugging while dreaming, which certainly happens when you're up 4am in the morning fixing a stubborn bug or learning something new that captivates your brain.
What kind of evidence would you find sufficient? CCS supports 350kW charging speeds(as-is, it can support more with very minor changes to the cable/plug spec), higher than any car currently on the market. What exactly are your requirements to make a charging standard "best for the next decades"?

If you're in Europe, there are a few major EMSPs that provide you access to multiple networks. The two biggest players seem to be New Motion owned by Shell and PlugSurfing owned by Fortum. In most major countries these two have a massive percentage of the chargers and networks. In some they have 100%.

The pricing is down to the CPOs and the same charger can cost different prices based on what deal they made with the EMSP.

The idea is pretty similar, in that the aim to to create cloud droplets large enough that precipitation forms in those clouds (hygroscopic cloud seeding). This is a little different from glaciogenic cloud seeding, where you aim to generate ice in a supercooled cloud (which has historically has been more common).

Glaciogenic seeding typically uses something like silver iodide (to nucleate ice crystals). For the clouds over the UAE (which are not supercooled), table salt would be more likely to be used. This idea is that it can create cloud droplets that are large enough to begin the collision-coalesence process.
It takes the guesswork out of library migrations. API migrations still need forwards/backwards compat hygiene, unless you blue/green your entire infrastructure to compatible versions, which is possible but not necessarily practical
Show HN: Automatic Cryptotrader Based on Strategies
Hello

I'm a Student in IT. I created an automatic trader over api's from binance and coinbase-pro. Now im wondering, has anyone else ideas for strategies that i could use for the signals? the one's i implemented, work good, but could be better.

Are you two equivocating between different kinds of "clean?" Animal waste vs. exhaust, metal, and brake and tire particles?
No. I don't like paperwork. So, I don't do paperwork.

It can be more tax efficient to file tax paperwork, but I don't want to do paperwork, so I just had an umbrella employ me when somebody insisted on hiring me as a "contractor" and the umbrella handled the paperwork for which of course they keep a fee. As far as the government is concerned I just had two PAYE employers, the umbrella and my "real" job.

Having multiple employers also does not require filing taxes. One of the employers gets given a zero tax code and they tax all your pay at full rate, the other one gets a normal tax code which reflects your personal allowance and other considerations. My tax code was oscillating all over the place - but that's not a problem it's all automated.

If you love paperwork you can choose to do all the paperwork. Or if you love money and don't hate paperwork maybe you can save a few hundred quid by filing and I hope it makes you happy. I hate paperwork, and I have plenty of money. So, no, despite earning a lot of money and having worked as a contractor I preferred to stick with PAYE.
Some coffee shop franchise needs to get into EV charging. For the half-hour spent charging, provide a space to lounge/work and of course buy food.
I think a main difference is, when the army is deployed internally it is never in charge.

Can you expand on why you find this unimaginable?

NSO is a spyware-as-a-service company. How else would they provide that service, if not by having a list of all the phones their clients need spied on?
In Belarus we’ve had employees arrested for literally being outside at the wrong time, even if it’s just to look at what’s going on from the front of their building. Things have calmed down somewhat since then, but they’ve also put in border controls so people can’t leave the country. You literally need to get smuggled over the border. Thankfully I hear that is not too difficult. The visa situation once you get to wherever you go isn’t awesome tho, since you’re still at the mercy of a large bureaucracy.
I'd argue that the post contains no personal attacks, only descriptive terms.
If the change is in a shared library (and not a service shared over the network), it's fine to change all usages at once. Deploying a service wouldn't affect the others.

If the change affects the public interface of a service, then there's no option but to make your changes backward-compatible.

> so each newbie

Vulkan isn't for newbies. Really, if you're new to 3D graphics then you're not Vulkan's target audience; pretending otherwise only results in pain. That's like complaining that a modern CPU's privileged instructions are too complicated for people new to assembly – yes, they are, and no, that's not a design flaw.

> Also Vulkan only exists because AMD was so kind to contribute Mantle as starting ground

That's maybe a point against Khronos, not against Vulkan.

> Really, in 21st century if you want to write portable 3D code just use a middleware engine, with plugins based backend.

Which is exactly what people should be doing. And those middleware engines can be written using Vulkan, because it is designed the way it is.
I'm surprised they get even 4 inches of rain a year, but it seems like it's almost all in the winter. Assuming they can get another 4 inches during the summer, they can get as much rain as Phoenix. I wonder if this can dramatically change the landscape.
Guns are too prolific and necessary. They prevent thousands of crimes every day. In addition to defense, we also use them as pest control for hogs and dear and other things and we are currently not killing enough boars, it's a growing problem, but I digress.

Due to enforcement issues any outright ban will just prevent law abiding citizens from defending themselves. There are certain cities that have failed in the last 10 years resulting in police response times over an hour. In the case of Detroit violence was consistently rising during that time until several perps were shot committing a crime and it was highly televised and then violence receded.

Guns empower women to defend themselves against people who could otherwise physically dominate them, as well as other minority groups who may face violence in their neighborhood. There are lots of countries with armed civilians that don't have school shootings.

There has also yet to be a reasonable technical classification that can identify a so called "assault" rifle from other rifle platforms.

Government tyranny is also real and legitimate threat to the population. Especially today with an ever invasive fed surveillance program, secret courts, and countries that are bypassing the bill of rights by offloading the violations to its allies. Oh and they are still discussing the legality of which and will seem to be in a perpetual legal battle over it. Many people argue you can't fight tanks/drones ect.. with guns but history Hong Kong is an excellent example and they aren't even armed, imagine if they were. They are willing to die for the cause and they would have the opportunity to escalate it to violence. The regime would have likely had to back down.

School shootings are about mental health and bullying and the relationships they have with adults around them. It's easy to make a bomb. If people want to inflict mass violence they will, we need to fix the root issues.
What happened in Ukraine in mid-2014 was not a civil war at all. One side poorly pretended to be a militia, while the other side were regular military forces of Ukraine. It's not a civil war when one country attacks another country.

I think if he had managed this 5 years ago people would be excited. Now though, it just seems kinda meh? They hyped it up too much, like it was a huge accomplishment on par with the moon landing.

Oh yeah, info-sec jobs abound. Many are .gov consulting gigs, but lots of law firms, banks, and hospitals too.

My colleges ran a camp in Sierra Leone wrt. ebola, went to US Virgin Islands after the storm, I went to Sweden to fight forest fires and stuff like that.

I have friends and family ask why I spend the time, not just on calls, but education, gear maintenance and the like instead of focusing even more on my career and day job.
The answer isn't rational, but it just gives me experiences I wouldn't get any other way. I grew up learning to inherently help people if asked to without question and probably wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't helping others. But at least when I need to justify it to my conscious self, I circle back to the egoistic view of how it benefits me as well.

Fun fact, the closer you get to Germany in the southern part of mainland Denmark, the closer the local fire departments start to look like the German "Freiwillige Feuerwehr".
The culture there is just much more "everybody in the area that can, responds to the alarm".

The unpleasant truth is that developers don't stand apart as a group that scrunitise or raise uncomfortable questions about online surveillance.[1]

Why not? Because it is developers who build, aid and abet digital surveillance in the first place.

It's developers who are more likely to defend big tech (Google, Facebook, Microsoft etc) rather than question the practices of these companies (or this industry as a whole).

An example: imagine a future cloud-based operating system (OS) that requires mandatory email sign-in to use the OS to full capability. Once signed-in, everything you do in the OS is tracked, recorded and stored in the 'cloud'.

Sounds horrible? Well, we have had this for years. It's called ChromeOS. It's used by millions of students in thousands of schools across the globe. Google promises to never build profiles using the data they record and save. That's all it takes to placate many developers. No concerns from developers about capturing such enormous volumes of data in the first place. Or the implications of aggregating such huge volumes of data.

If developers care so it little about online tracking, and prefer to rush to the defence of their favourite big tech company, who else is left to challenge ubiquitous online surveillance?

[1] Aside: Terms like telemetry, analytics, web beacons, are words designed to deliberately obfuscate their purpose and to sound benign. No developer would dare to use their more honest counterpart terms: surveillance or user tracking.
How come? CCS is fantastic, because it's backwards compatible with Type 2 connector by default, so you don't need to have both on a car, it literally works with any Type 2 charger OR any CCS charger, using one socket. The only thing it doesn't work with is Type 1, but the last car commercially released with a type 1 socket was the Outlander PHEV, like half a decade ago, at least over here in the UK. Type 1 just doesn't exist as a standard anymore, special order only.
I grew up in Norway in the 90’s, and at that time even here most people had at most one computer at home for the whole family.

My father had a couple of books that were written by Lynda Weinman, one about HTML and one about graphics for the web. I read those books, and with pen and paper I would some write some rudimentary HTML.

A couple of years later I finally got a computer of my own and started typing out HTML in Notepad and getting to see the result in Internet Explorer.

This was part of the early beginning of my fascination with computers.

Today I am a software developer, writing applications on macOS, iOS, FreeBSD and Linux :)
> If you know the company is mostly men at the top, you might assume women have a hard time getting promoted -- regardless of the reasons. That means you might not want to work at GitLab as much as an equally qualified man.

I don't agree. The tech industry is predominantly male and everybody knows it. Anybody who's ever been to a computer science class knows why- more men are interested.

If you assume that male and female employees have a similar distribution in merit, than you'd expect the top of the company to have a similar percentage to that of women interested in technology in general, which is to say it would mostly be men and you'd still assume that promotions are fair.

But promotions aren't fair or strictly meritocratic, and there's often good reasons for that. For instance, if you get more women in leadership the tail can wag the dog and you can get more women interested in tech.
They could have a charge per minute past completion to make sure people don’t leave their cars when not in use (only if people are waiting though).
In the EU the standard connector is IEC 62196 Type 2 aka CCS. All the public chargers I've seen have either the AC (aka Type 2) version, or the AC and DC (aka CCS) version plus CHAdeMO. Even Tesla uses that for their cars and superchargers in Europe.
> Though the federal government twice offered Korczak Ziolkowski millions of dollars to fund the memorial, he decided to rely on private donations, and retained control of the project

This article contains a lot of opining about a private memorial. If you don't like it, simply don't pay to attend it and build your own. If yours is better and more historically accurate (claims made in the article say the current has certain inaccuracies), yours will become more popular!
I think it is wrong to give the same title to everyone who happens to write a lot of code. Writing code is such a huge area, people who write code already outnumbers Engineers in USA, giving all of those the same title just doesn't make sense. Programming microcontrollers or writing a web frontend or writing math libraries are very different fields requiring vastly different skills, calling them the same thing just creates confusion.

That is like calling bio engineers and electronics engineers the same thing.

Hi HN! Igor here, co-founder of Digger.dev

The learning curve for AWS is steep; but the use of tools with great develeoper experience like Heroku and Vercel is limited to small projects. Teams end up choosing AWS or other big cloud providers, partly because of free credits, but mostly because they know that they'll need something from them that a PaaS cannot provide.

And then there is a huge cloud-native ecosystem and infrastructure-as-code and Kubernetes and all that. If you want to do DevOps right then PaaS doesn't seem to be a good option.

So its either move fast, or build a future-proof stack. We thought that's wrong, and built Digger.dev

Digger.dev automatically generates infrastructure for your code in your AWS account (Terraform). So you can build on AWS without having to deal with its complexity.

You can launch in minutes – no need to build from scratch, or even think of infrastructure at all!

- Easy to use Web UI + powerful CLI

- Deploy webapps, serverless functions and databases: just connect GitHub repositories

- Multiple environments: replicate your entire stack in a few clicks. Dev / staging / production; short-lived for testing; per-customer

- Zero-configuration CI with GitOps: pick a branch for each environment and your services will be deployed on every git push

- Logs, environment variables, secrets, domains: never touch AWS again!
Executive Summary: 3.0.2 is "safe"; further versions TBD.
(In the US) Tesla uses a proprietary standard. Every other EV manufacturer uses CCS for high-speed charging. (Chademo was dropped.)

The Tesla Supercharger network is just like Betamax: Tesla has a good first mover advantage, just like Sony did. But once every EV sold has a CCS connector, it's not going to make sense to buy a Tesla that can only charge at Tesla's proprietary charging network.

Once VHS was on the scene, the Betamax format struggled. And just like Betamax, there will be people who argue until they're blue in the face that Tesla's charger is better than CCS.

(Betamax was, in practice worse than VHS. It was more expensive, and because the tapes were physically smaller, feature length films used slower tape speeds, and thus had lower picture quality. Even the supposed better picture quality of Betamax was too small to notice.)

Well thanks. It does seem that some people find me... let's go with "abrasive". I appreciate you taking the time to try to grok what's going on completely even if you were somewhat put off by the tone :)

I don't see people dying to get out of America. But there are plenty dying to get in, so perhaps there's something America has that outweighs whatever you think is going on.

By the way, you probably think far more people are killed by "assault rifles" than really are, judging by your hyperbole. In 2019[1], there were...364. By contrast, there were 328 million people in the US in 2019[2]. That means 0.000001% of the population, which, while tragic, is statistically insignificant.

I think the parent comment wants the files per user no global.
In all my research mechanical -> electrical -> mechanical double conversion is significantly less efficient than a direct mechanical drivetrain. It seems to come down to about 80% for the best electrical vs >95% for mechanical [1][2].

Also there is a weight issue the generator is at least as heavy as the motor and thats a big problem on bikes.

Trains do it because they need precise traction control and have little concern for the weight. They sacrifice running efficiency for it but everything else makes them very efficient at running (low rolling resistance and low aerodynamic drag).

Also the unsprung weight of hub motors causes various issues as well especially if you have suspension for ride comfort. Most electric bikes are moving to mid drives anyway which is going to have a chain or belt.

> You used programs to edit and manage those files, but the programs didn't "own" the files: A file was generally independent of the programs that are used to open them.

That must be why .XLS(x) files have had the Microsoft Excel icon and the text "Microsoft Excel Document", .DOC(x) the Microsoft Word icon and the text "Microsoft Word Document", and so on and on, in File Explorer for the last three decades or so.

IOW: WTF are you talking about??? It's the absolute other way around; applications have always "owned" their respective files.
Especially considering J1772 cars can't utilize the actual supercharger capabilities, so they'll occupy the slots longer.
