My experience is that side projects are 90% ignored. They are treated strictly as line items like education.

I got furious tired of this so on my last resume I treated my employment history strictly as employment history. A list of employers with dates and dates of promotions plus a sentence or two what I worked on. Supremely lowered emphasis.

I also put my personal projects into a separate section above my employment history. Between my personal projects and employment history I put in a small two paragraph section for personal bio. In this bio I mention how long I have been programming, some of my accomplishments. I also explicitly mention to carefully consider my personal projects to make an informed decision if I will be a good fit for their organization and that two of my personal projects contain over a thousand commits. I follow up that up with a mention that I am not waiting on administrative approval or a budget authorization to innovate and that these personal projects are years of experience other developers do not have.

This a recent change I have made so I cannot say if it’s successful.
It's been nice to be able to link to ftp-served files or directories on websites and have that Just Work, ever since FTP was added to web browsers.

You may as well say, "why have embedded video on the web? Just open video links in VLC."
How do they think differently than you?Where are you based?

My guess is you want to live in an unpolluted environment where the land/water doesn't make you sick, eat food that doesn't kill you, if you want/have kids to know they will have the chance of a good life and good education, have a government free from corruption, know that your legal system treats everyone as fair and equally as possible as a goal, have fair labor practices, and generally be treated with respect. etc...

We are all the same, the differences are amplified to a crazy amount and they shouldn't define us.
>> I've used other non-Tesla chargers while on road trips (just to try them out) and the experience is much, much worse.

Of course it is. They have to support cars from all manufacturers (except Tesla). They all have an app, but so does Tesla. The sum of all charger networks is larger than the Tesla network and growing faster too.

I do think it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
I signed up, but I don't see a hook to spawn any of the listed applications.

For example, opening https://neverinstall.com/apps/intellij on Firefox just shows a low-resolution screen shot with a list of features, and no CTA.

How do I use neverinstall?
I wish caffeine made me feel anything.

I would need over 24 oz of coffee for anything.

But at that point I'm pushing potentially unsafe levels..

I wish we were taught more about taking drugs. Use caffeine since it's legal, for an example.

"Don't have caffeine 2 days in a row. Ask yourself if you really need the energy or are thirsty/bored. Etc...."

You could apply the same to alcohol to reduce alcoholism.
"Tea is perceived as more relaxing than coffee, even though both contain caffeine. L-theanine in tea may account for the difference."

Tea already contains both substances. Adding coffee would only up the caffeine levels + whatever else is in coffee. Unless I'm misunderstanding the abstract, this seems to argue for only drinking tea to get both the "cognitive effects" and the calming effect of L-theanine.
Great business idea for Blender!
No advantage to customers to optimize load to the grid unless customers pay less. But we can barely get smart meters rolled out, and the backlash (in social media and mainstream media) against real-time electricity prices was fierce. Annoying to me that so many seemed to completely dismiss the value of real-time electricity prices after the Texas snowstorm, including a lot of people who now talk about the need to decarbonize quickly and make sacrifices in the West.
This is just cloud seeding. They’ve been doing it for decades, though not with drones.
I've always fancied the German style of having dense clusters of houses/shops around a major train station / highway, with farmland in between. Look at satellite imagery [1] around Stuttgart, for instance. You can totally have walkable city centers in less crowded areas.

Of course Germany is not the United States. I don't know anything about agriculture, or to what extent the needs of German agriculture vs US agriculture would be met by such an arrangement. But this being HN, maybe someone knowledgeable can chime in!

I believe C# shares a few caveats with Java because they wanted to make it easy to port Java codebases to it. Making objects hashable by default and having arrays be covariant, despite early plans to support generics, both aid in that.
I love the freedom of bicycling, but I hate dealing with people driving cars. I sort of understand why the more militant bicyclists call them "cagers." As I remember angrily explaining to a motorist who thought nothing of fishtailing into my lane after barely passing me (I was biking in the shoulder between the white line and edge of the asphalt), "if I make a mistake, I get killed, if you make a mistake, I get killed."
Let them destroy each other then.
Yeah, debugging experience is hard for me. I wish your solution works for JetBrains IDEs.

I do javascript playground (https://PlayCode.io) too, and this feature will be shining
Thank you so much for the great info! By any chance, does the CTO need to be part of a company that you worked/still work for?
Probably, but going forward they no longer have a chat app and more or less either have to revive HipChat or refer people to a competitor.

These days it is different, mainland Chinese movies and TV have huge production budgets and are as good as anything Hollywood makes.

For instance the 2010 "Three Kingdoms" TV series is a big story that would appeal to people who like the Iliad or Tolkien or Game of Thrones. It boggles my mind that I couldn't get a legit copy or even find it on the Pirate Bay but had to get bootleg DVDs with atrocious subtitles via Singapore.

VW did not invest that money. That was the penalty they had to pay from Dieselgate [1]. The network is now seeking $1 billion in capital investment [2]. DC fast charging isn't profitable due to utility demand charges (for drawing 100-300kw on demand), so networks like EA will likely eventually fail being unable to obtain capital financing [3]. Tesla runs Superchargers as a cost center, and only needs them to break even, as their business is selling vehicles.

TLDR Tesla sells an ecosystem. They are the Apple of EVs.

Absolutely. I love browsing university libraries specifically for this reason. Find where they shelve books on a topic I'm interested in and just browse what's around it. See the different types of books available, the different ways people have interpreted or written about a thing.
Ionic 5 peaks at about 230 kW. Getting that much power in does require using high voltage, like the 350 kW EA cabinets.
I'm no Atlassian fanboy but Asana is only a replacement for Jira in specific use cases. I've used Jira Server successfully on large software projects. Not amazing but I've now used enough other products to say "pretty good". Jira Cloud... not great for that use case. Fewer features and every click seems to require a 300ms minimum REST call. Asana, even more limited functionality. After years there is still no way to automatically remove completed work from the board. But the UI and flow are pretty good and snappy so for certain use cases like smaller shorter-term projects it can be good.
CCS can deliver 350kW.

Tesla Superchargers are currently 250kW. There are rumors about a higher output connection for the semi trucks but it is unsure if that would be a different connector or not.
Yeah, I agree with you on evidenced-based assessment. Our hiring process has two practical portions meant to mirror important parts of the daily work. It lets me care very little about resumes as far as technical skill goes. Sometimes colleagues will ask about a candidate, "Where did they go to school?" I will have no idea, because I don't care.

That said, resumes are still useful to me for things I can't test in a couple hours. E.g.: How long is this person likely to stay? What motivates them? What kinds of environment are they used to/comfortable in?
While it seems plausible that the network weights would fall under the "installation information" clause - the intention seems to be to limit this clause to consumer products (e.g. a Digital Video Recorder) and it's not clear that it can apply to Fat Fritz 2.

What Android version do you run on your J7? My J7 is stuck on Android 6 and can't install Termux. It doesn't get OTA and I'm not sure how to update it.
To add to anecdotes here, I've consulted in two companies that started using Discord this year.

They replaced Teams+Slack with Discord.
My favorite "Americans vs Europeans" joke:

Q: What's the difference between an American and a European person?

A: A European thinks 100 km is a large distance. An American thinks a hundred years is a long time.

I definitely qualify as a European in this regard; "only 6 hours" is super long to travel for me.
Thanks! I'll get that fixed :)

EDIT: PR submitted. Feel free to create one next time :)

Federal Agencies are supposed to be accountable to the people, nothing of consequence ever seems to happen to these bureaucracies when they break the rules or mismanage their operations. Agencies like the VA, IRS, and EPA are notoriously inefficient and have poor service.
too bad Discord doesn't allow 3rd party chat applications. Something like irssi for Discord would be awesome.
If you look out from Salesforce Tower, right across Salesforce Park you see the colorful logo of Slack HQ.

People don't think brand advertising produces sales, and it's impossible to prove for each individual transaction, but I'm sure it does work!
This is pretty great! The example you cited in this post should be prominent in the home page, and mobile users should still be able to see an example of what this does from the home page.
Yes,, yet no enforcement of back wages owed to former slaves. This past era left many with dirty hands. California entered the Union with anti-slavery part of their credo.

That’s true. The standard 10 years ago was the Chademo plug. Have any of you ever used it? It is HUGE. It’s like lifting up and plugging in an entire vacuum cleaner into the front of your car. The unveiling of Tesla’s supercharger plug 9 years ago was a game changer, and no one has yet equaled it.
I've heard others mention that modern literature is too curated. I am also confused when I hear it. We are living in the age of digital books, digital reviews, and self publishing. There is more choice than ever and it's easier to be informed than ever. Anyone complaining about bland books needs to spend an extra 30 minutes on duck duck go and try something new
That’s why I suggested building the infrastructure for the tax tool (CMS) to make it easy and fast to build the questionnaire for the forms. Since the forms are going to change, what we need is to make it so that it takes very little time to build a TurboTax competitor each year.

There is no way I am going to get a bunch of accountants and tax lawyers to write a ton of code each year for free, but ask them to build a plain English questionnaire for a form as easily as you would create a survey in SurveyMonkey? Maybe.
Europe standardized on CCS in 2014 with a 4 year transition period. That's why Tesla's in Europe use CCS rather than their own proprietary charger.
Yes. Europe has standardized on CCS Type 2 Combo.

Your home charger will have a Type 2 plug for AC charging. The "combo" part is the extra two DC pins that DC fast chargers use:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_Charging_System

Almost all EVs in Europe have a CCS Type 2 Combo port (including Tesla Model 3s).

The Nissan Leaf still uses a CHAdeMO port for DC fast charging and a Type 2 port for AC charging. The new Nissan Ariya will use CCS Type 2 Combo.

The European Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X still use Tesla's modified Type 2 port but come with an adapter for CCS Type 2 Combo support. The new Model S might come with a CCS Type 2 Combo port but it hasn't been released in Europe yet.
To be honest, I’m not that in touch with enterprise. Despite Discord’s appearance as a platform for gamers it has pretty much dominated slack for a non-self hosted solution for the areas I’m familiar with. Small teams, OSS, cryptocurrency, strongly distributed WFH type startups, conferences, etc. Private channels are role based so the general public can integrate communication tightly with the main team while they work behind the scenes. I wouldn’t be surprised if Discord launches a professional de-gamer-branded version soon. Target markets aside you simply get more from Discord for most general use cases and it feels like Slack is playing catch up rather than leading (like they used to) on some popular features.
Basically companies get bloated, then they need bloated software that supports all their bloat. They pay big money so they get what they want.
> Superior in what way?

When it comes to programming, almost every way. Try getting a job if you only know how to program a TI-84. Now compare that with knowing python or JavaScript.

> It’s far easier to write a minimal program on a TI calculator like the TI89.

Yes, and far harder to write anything but a minimal program. Completely impossible to write anything in a commercially used language.

> No App Store account or Internet required.

So what? These are widely available.

> It’s included in every calculator for free, with function integration into the hard (ie easier to be precise while typing) keyboard.

So what? You can’t write anything resembling a modern program. This is a way in which the calculator is incapable of serving as a general purpose computer, not an advantage.

I’m not against calculators. I learned to program on my father’s TI, long before I had access to computers. I still like keystroke programming an HP-15C for repetitive calculations today. But there is no way that is better than Pythonista or the ilk for programming in general.
Immediate mode still exists and is usable to this day. The compatibility profile never went away.

JWZ implemented old-school OpenGL in a library on top of a more modern API, and I would entirely agree that's a good approach to compatibility. I'd have advocated for doing the same thing, just without calling everyone idiots.
If you ask university IT about Discord, they'll probably tell you emailing .docx files back and forth is just as good.
The Porsche Taycan does hit 350kw, assuming the battery is preconditioned. I charged one at an EA station last month.
I used them heavily in college, then less in my early professional life, then more heavily when I had very young kids, now back to what feels like a reasonable 100mg caffeine + 200mg L-theanine a day.

My life improved significantly when I realized that I was drinking soda, energy drinks, or coffee for the caffeine, not the taste or "nutrition": they're all extremely acidic, and some are extremely sugary.

Instead of drinking my drugs, I drink from a water bottle and take a slow-release pill each morning with my multivitamin.
yes, each tech is an edge in the hypergraph[1] connecting all humans.

Tesla would be compensated, that's why you pay when you charge. Adding CSS to their chargers only financially benefits them by increasing their customer base. By opening the charging standard instead of licensing it they have also taken the morally higher ground by making it possible for anyone to charge their eventually.

Switching over to CCS is already happening in Europe because of regulation. The Model 3 is sold with CCS instead of the Telsa connector as part of that: https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/support/supercharging I would not be surprised to see similar legislation here in the US, but we are typically massively behind on things like that. And it would likely be done as it is in the EU, new chargers would be required to have the standard connector. Retrofitting old ones is optional.
Thanks for the wishes! It took us a year of research to get here. Thanks for the suggestion about earnings calls!
Tesla missed their chance with Model 3. EU regs forced them to support CCS in 2017. Existing Model S owners got a small adaptor and European Model 3 has always been native CCS. The supercharger cabinets have both tesla and CCS connectors. Tesla could have done the same thing in north america and chose not to.
I'm not American, but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't much appetite for building transport infrastructure above existing transport after the Oakland viaduct collapse in the 1989 SF earthquake. I'm old enough to remember it, and watching from abroad, it was pretty horrific.

The cost of building something like that is likely to be prohibitive because you'll need to dig support pylons by the road and each and every pylon would need a ground survey for existing utilities, and so on. It adds up really quickly, even with a concrete factory on site manufacturing identical parts (which they do for tunnel building for example).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Loma_Prieta_earthquake#Oa...
I'm aware of this. I'm to understand that Woz wrote Apple Integer BASIC, more or less on paper, before he even built the computers it would run on.
Some form of capital control is necessary for taxation. Without efficient taxation all of the people you mention are going to be extra fucked.

There are capital controls and then there are capital controls - but preventing you from moving all of your money out of the country to avoid taxes is still a control on capital.
It's sad because they're at a disadvantage to their peers.
The comment you're replying to is talking about people who take free-market supremacy as a fundamental axiom that is used as the basis to reject empirical evidence. As in, somebody who would think along the lines "climate change can't actually be a problem, because if it were, the market would have recognized it and be adapting to the problem." Or, "these credit default swaps must be well founded, because it would be impossible for a free market of financial products to misvalue them." Or "The Dvorak keyboard layout must be worse otherwise the free market would have chosen it over QWERTY."

These are all real opinions that many people encounter in the real world and have to fight against.
I charge my phones at friend's houses or in their cars all the time, though? And I don't usually keep a spare cord with me.
I guess it depends on what you're looking for?

For a subtle effect like this, I would argue that it's not actually possible to experiment on yourself in a meaningful way. If you don't use a double blind protocol, then any real effect is going to be completely overwhelmed by things like the placebo effect. And the absolute minimum number of people required to implement a double blind protocol is three: one to assign treatment and analyze the data, another to administer the treatment and collect the data, and one person to actually get experimented on.

For this particular experiment, I'd go a step further and say say that the absolute minimum is 4, because you want to make sure that both alternatives are being tested under conditions where it's the participant's first time performing the cognitive task you're using for evaluation. That's only possible if you have separate participants for the treatment and control.
What do you mean by federated authentication?

If you just want to have your own homeserver, and users there to be identified as @whoever:example.com, then this just works, is fully federated, and has been like this since forever.

The only unfederated part is, from what I know, the Identity Server, which is run by Vector.im to allow discovering Matrix identities by phone number or email addresses.
That's amazing. Thankyou SO much for that, I didn't even think that would be an option. You've been replied to with a non-regedit solution,
Because it wouldn't be worth billions otherwise. Feature bloat is a key part of the "emperor's new clothes" strategy that 'simple' products like Dropbox are pursuing, now that they're public and are under pressure to show growth.

That's how you get stuff like Dropbox Paper.
Wow, it's a good thing you caught that or else people may have been mislead. Phew. Crisis averted. We're lucky there are people as pedantic as you around.
Also factor in the removal of the State and Local Tax deduction. Prior to that I ended up writing off my CA taxes instead of taking the standard deduction.

I’ll save my personal political ranting for a different space.

Addressing the GP, yeah our system has been messed with by the tax prep companies. One year I had a complicated (for me) tax situation and I hired a CPA. They managed to make a mistake that lead me to overpaying by thousands. The IRS was nice enough to mail me a check.

The IRS clearly has enough info to run a European style system. We (as a country) just underfund the IRS and have special interest vested in maintaining the status quo. Clearly those special interests are doing a great job if someone with a state certification and professional tax software can mess up the math. A friend had the same issue with this past tax year and owes a balance plus penalties. She has every intention of paying her taxes. Why does our system make it hard for her to do so?

There’s no good reason why we should have to chance these situations. We should just be able to pay our taxes correctly at time we are paid and move on.
> "Gentlemen do not read each others' mail."

Lovely thought, but there are no gentlemen in positions to stop it. Stimson's quote is notable because he may be the only person in history who was.

> Privacy laws are good for society

They are good for the internal wellbeing of healthy, open societies. I fear those qualifications are dooming.
Agreed. Corporate speak like this can't come across as anything but disingenuous, especially when they didn't even make the product they think they're going to "change the world" with.

My sister's company recently got acquired, and it's reminded me how bad it feels to be a regular worker suddenly finding out a company you really love is selling out. Of course, the execs get big bonuses while the regular workers get no say in changes to the business including cuts to their bonuses and perks...
