What version of python will it be? How complete will it be? Also, will you be able to add packages from pip via USB cable?
I’m not used to that time, it would be more productive than what is currently happening which does not increase the profits of the corporations
I don't know where that figure came from or what it tells us. Looking at the PyPI stats for httpx and requests, the latter remains much higher across the board for now.

None of that is important anyway. Requests is an excellent library. Httpx appears to be becoming another excellent library and a natural successor. I'm just saying we shouldn't overhype something new before it's ready. Running beta dependencies in production is a risky business.
Citrix gave me a page of code which had a lot of tricky obfuscated syntax problems. Code that looked live but was actually commented out, nested comments that were not terminated properly, code formatted in a very deceptive way, strings that were not quoted correctly so they would not end where expected on the page. It was all very contrived stuff that was deliberately deceptive, not like real broken code, and the errors would have shown up with syntax highlighting.
I caught most but not all of the tricks.
This is also the only interview I have ever had where a panel of engineers stood behind a desk and all barked questions at me. I did not get the job.

At a different interview, this one with Microsoft, the lead engineer showed me a page of actual code from their app and asked me what I thought. Luckily the bug instantly leaped off the page to me, although many people would not see it. That was a good way of proving that I have a useful ability, and a better use of time than whiteboard coding or quizzes. I got the job and they were glad they hired me.
> Why do you believe that north indian language and religion are nonsense?

I believe the parent didn't call the North Indian language and religion nonsense. They argue against the attempts to make all the diverse ethnic groups/regions fall in line behind some centrally mandated language and religion.

They actually argue for the diversity and autonomy of the various groups to maintain their language and traditions, which is hard to disagree with (as an outsider).

The history of trying to repress religions and ethnic groups is long and bloody, no matter where we look on the globe.
My guess is that they are not, or at least, not in a way that would make economic sense.

The NSA doesn't have superpowers. They have a lot of competent people, paid to work on topics that are are important to state security, but I think they are lagging behind on topics with profitable commercial applications. And machine translation is one of these.

The reason I think that is that working for a three letter agency comes with a burden of secrecy, and obviously, people tend not to work as efficiently if they are not allowed to talk to each others. These institutions are also plagued with pork-barrel economics, and secrecy is also a good way to hide incompetence.

So if a private company can do it, it is better to let them do.
Are the Olympics Good for Markets? Weekly News Sentiment Review 7/26-7/30
Plenty of key business apps use DirectX, OpenGL, Vulcan like CAD applications and games still use other Windows APIs. It's open-source, people can build off Proton to add the rest. These games for generally designed for Win10 now which support for is somewhat lacking in Wine. Concentrating on the latest version of Windows and APIs is a huge step in the right direction.
When police serve a search warrant for career criminals (e.g. drug dealing, car theft, basically any criminal activity that you can make a decent regular income on) it's SOP to cross-reference serial numbers on expensive stuff that's lying around (power tools, electronics, etc) with the list of serial numbers in their DB of police reports so they can tack on a charge if they get a match. It is absolutely a liability to have a bunch of stolen stuff lying around.
It sounds like that store has deeper problems. They aren't checking thier stock and so do not notice a theft when it happens. That has insurance implications. Also, it suggests inside jobs. If the staff are turning a blind eye to theft, not reporting missing stock, there is a reasonable chance that the staff are involved.
Errr depends on the area. Sometimes they have EC but not VISA and then you look like a cashless moron (I literally only ever have minimal 'not a vagrant' cash in France, and never use it, especially since they added touch-pay for <20EUR and increased it to <50EUR during first lockdown).
For non professionals you sometimes get community tool libraries.

>But, I have seen places where you just take a piece of paper to the checkout rather than the tool itself.

How is this not the solution, and more technology is? The local hardware store has cardboard slips you take to customer service for high-end/expensive tools, they then ring you up and you walk out with your newly purchased tool.

They've done that since the 90's. It's not that hard to figure out. Why does every problem need a *TECHNOLOGY* solution? I'm genuinely confused by all of this.
SwiftGraphQL – A GraphQL client for Swift lovers
It wasn't quite that bad; but yeah there were some places in the Chicago area where you could go and be likely to find anything you'd come up missing. It was cool to see what was "OK" for those markets and what they wouldn't buy and sell; police mobile radios should've been a lot more valuable than that.
Yes that’s what it is, thanks for noticing
I'd be interested in a feature like this that works for the owner after the sale. I assume that would mean that I have to have an app on my phone running to use the tool, and that's not great, but I could live with it. I have friends whose homes and trucks have been broken into just to take their tools. These were contractors and it was a major setback for them. Theft deterrence is worth a fair amount of inconvenience to many buyers.
Some universities and schools offer accent reduction classes, for example Stanford’s ‘ Accent Reduction for Non-Native Speakers of English’, which is available as a remote class for anyone.

Any English school or coach can also help.
I've shipped production code in 17 different programming languages. I wouldn't say I'm proficient in any one of them, they are all just tools to solve a problem and the knowledge of language specifics comes and goes. Need to hyper-optimize a DB query on an Oracle RAC cluster? PL/SQL. Need a shader? GLSL works fine. Need a webpage? HTML/CSS/JS. Need to build a 7' long flying robot fish? C. Programming languages are just tools.
It sounds like you do what you can. Unfortunately, people like you leave as they can't put up with it any longer and the company is just left with people who are happy with the status quo.
I discovered Blind recently and agree it's an awesome resource.
IMO, for new grads and career changers in particular, it would make good sense for Google and other companies that have to interview vast quantities of candidates to develop and publish some rigorous MOOC sequences that candidates can complete on their own schedule to develop and demonstrate relevant competencies in a way the companies can trust more than they trust 3rd party degrees. Candidates who complete the MOOC sequences successfully could be fast-tracked into an expedited interview process. Plus they get a marketable, public credential out of it, rather than just going through a super long interview process with nothing to show the world / other companies for it

Google is already kinda doing this with Grow With Google, so I am just thinking of an even more extensive and rigorous version of this

And/or just ask people about their best Factorio factories and EXAPUNKS solutions :)

Why the weird technical jargon? All you had to say was: people with certain talents can more easily fall into an unhealthy career when they are rewarded in ways that encourage them to continue on that career path.
FWIW, my first computer had a big endian CPU (Motorola 68000) so I'm thinking in big endian and every time I have to inspect a hex dump on my local machine I get confused if I look for more than 1 byte.

Not that this happens a lot these days but once or twice a year I'm looking at some hex.
I don't find anything extraordinary in the fact that foreign governments spy on Macron. In fact I would expect France to do the same to other countries, and I'm sure they do.

These things make headlines when they are found by the public but they really are business as usual among governments.

If anything, this only reflects badly on the French services themselves if the President's phone (I assume, or hope, private phone as they are supposed to have custom, secure phones for official business) got owned.
Next-generation? They've just glued a 48MHz Cortex-M0+ ARM micro-controller with 32 KiB of RAM on the motherboard to act as a co-processor for executing CircuitPython. It's basically a TI-84 Plus CE from 2015 with the TI-Python adapter from 2019 built-in.

Given the co-processor's lack of performance and the fact that it's connected through an UART channel, it's just about the slowest, weakest Python implementation in a calculator out there... It's been four years since the introduction of the NumWorks calculator and its Python capabilities and that's the best they can do?
E3 is not for migration purpose, does make the jump easier at the start
You need to act and pretend to think it through. Then you seem like a brilliant programmer they want to hire rather than someone that recently worked on the problem.

Based on your description ... that wasn't a failure. Success is not working at places like that.
> Crime rates in California and SF are comparable to the rest of the country.

I don't know who's in the wrong here, but if the comment you're replying to was correct and DA wouldn't persecute these cases, wouldn't it also mean that they wouldn't appear in statistics you're quoting as well?
There is so much more information gained about a candidate by an engineer interviewing another engineer than by a "pass" or "fail" score from a robot.
I think I would like this service. I already use tool rental at HD for stuff I don't want to own.
I am open to starting a business with someone who is mostly on the business side, but also has technical chops. I have been working in applied AI since 1982, I have 55 patents, and recently I have learned Swift/SwiftUI so I am thinking Apple’s ecosystem. I would prefer starting a three or four person company, but just having one cofounder would also be great.
Previous work experience (at a casino in USA). Security existed for customer service, general rule enforcement where it could be done verbally, and to observe and document activities to be used later - like in court or by police. Professional eye witness.

Of course there are times hands-on action was taken but the vast majority was no touch communication and de-escalation followed by a whole lot of documentation coordinated with video surveillance.
Because some people are claiming that they all work, and Valve is saying that they plan to have every game working with Proton by the time Steam Deck releases. I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen people point to the "15.5k games work" number on protondb since the Steam Deck was announced, even though "15.5k games work" only requires a single person to say a game worked for them, and less than half of games on the site are rated as platinum.
Things seem to be getting even worse, and as I hate to iterate on all the points often repeated on HN (the loss of older industry best practices, CV-driven development, bloated FAANG departments, the issues of funding OSS, etc.), I just want to notice one thing: Most developers and architects seem to have lower and lower confidence in what is technically achievable without some complex dependency web, and that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

As believing something is possible is a pre-requisite to actually approaching it, I expect things to continue getting worse.
To be fair, that would mean that your ability level is the median ability of the team you'd be joining, which doesn't sound all that far-fetched to me. If the skill level of new hires is always close to the median, the overall team ability should stay the same in the long run.
This line of thought obviously depends on the assumption that you can measure the exact ability using just a single quantity.
Things Successful Fundraising Materials Have in Common
There's definitely a large theater aspect but they also act as professional witnesses so to speak. They're trained to look for and record a suspect's characteristics that a lay person might not notice. A lay person might get you a description like "the big dude with long hair who got into a silver car" whereas a security guard will (should) get you a fairly precise height and weight as well as a plate number and the fact that the dude had a subtle tatoo on his wrist.
I have no problem with any theft being a felony.

You're stealing something.

What makes "stealing less than $1k" more acceptable?
Lots of people either being vaccinated or infected seems like it would play a big role.
In the US, do you really see a higher comp range now for senior IC like 20 years in? I don't. Other than the usually FAANG and buyside shops. I just went thru several interviews, while they all want me, the comp (10-20%) isn't enough for me to take the job over my existing ones. A lot of recruiters want me to take management roles which I don't want to at all.
There are many coincidences and spurious correlations in the world. It's informative to propose a falsifiable mechanism behind a correlation which can be tested independently.

I could reframe your hypothesis in a falsifiable way such as "perhaps ending lockdowns in the UK caused individuals to spend more time outdoors or in open air restaurants rather than smaller closed doors activities such as dinner parties", or "perhaps ending lockdowns in the UK caused people to spend more time in other locations rather than large shared ventilation apartment complexes".

Apple carefully selects all of this and makes it work; the "take", as it were, wasn't precisely that Apple does everything (and so I feel like you critically misunderstood it), but that Apple controls everything: any extension of the ecosystem doesn't just block on Apple... it nigh unto must be initiated by Apple.
The TTS is pretty solid, what did you use for that? Amazon Polly is the best options I know of personally, but I'd love to know what you use because it's pretty solid.
I was semi-actively hunting for a role a year ago.

The worst offender was a company I had five meetings with, 3 of which were identical code reviews for the same code test. None of the reviewers realized I already had the code review with their peers. None knew what the next step was.

Most companies just didn't have an organized funnel for candidates.

The one that did I quickly took the job offer at. Here's what they did right:

1. The recruiter prepped me for each interview as if they were a good friend looking out for me. They told me who I was talking with and what hobbies they had so I could relate to them.

2. I knew of each meeting and its format in advance. It's weird I'm calling this out as it seems simple, but here we are :-)

3. The code review was paid. And actually quite fun. The previous company code review was unpaid and 20 hours of 'implement a REST API'

4. The engineering team was actually trained on recruiting. Each one had read my resume and asked detailed questions about my hobbies, experiences, etc. Engineers elsewhere hadn't read my resume at all.

5. I always had quick feedback on technical meetings and didn't have more than three.

The most important difference I noticed is that most companies were ambivalent seeing me fail.. a select few even seemed to crave that.
To be honest, I really don’t get why the SAT board allows using calculators anyway. They can certainly make the numbers in the math questions easier to calculate (make it divisible without any weird fractions/decimals). And to be honest if you are somewhere in the pre-calculus/calculus level you should have an intuition of how to roughly draw graphs by hand (without a graphing calculator).

It really seems like corruption of the College Board (and many other western educational institutions) at this point...
I'm guessing they view releasing an official calculator app as a move towards eventually replacing the hardware calculator. It could help legitimize a cell phone calculator to schools and exam boards.

I'm also guessing their product margins are better on hardware than they would be on software, since there are so many other calculator apps available. The market of people who want a TI-branded calculator app on Android or iOS is a lot smaller than the captive student market.

IMHO eventually the tides will shift and school districts and exams will start allowing cell phones, and I imagine just before that happens they will suddenly discover they have a nice Android/iOS app ready to launch.
> my knowledge of Canada is too far out of date to be useful

All I can say, is in personal anecdotal experience, I make about the same money (with better hours!) in my current factory job than I would have if I finished my degree and went into software, and with none of the stress or crunch time or deadline associated. For example, looking at Glassdoor they have Google's Toronto office reporting starting salaries of ~$90-100k - while my base pay is only ~$62k ($29.50/hr) we get double-time overtime after 40 hours, I can (and have) clear(ed) well over $130k/yr with minimal effort.

They're offering decent salaries compared to other tech jobs in the area, but it's average-at-best if you start comparing unskilled labourer salaries in as a comparison.

You can imagine that controlling network traffic or upgrading RAM are not abilities that the vast majority of people are concerned about, even in tech.

As a person who both knows how easy cheats are to make, and what anticheat entails - There's no way I'd play without it.

In CSGO for example, many players _want_ a more invasive anticheat solution, and are literally asking or even paying for it through third parties like ESEA and Faceit.
This.
Plus, their dependence on Chinas goodwill makes them vulnerable.

China commands significant power over Apples manufacturing capabilities.
Just take a look at Apples supplier list ^1
This is the opposite of antifragile.

Tencent, Pinduoduo, Alibaba are prime examples of how much influence the Chinese government is willing to exercise over companies in case it finds them to not be aligned with it's own interests.

The Chinese government effectively has access to the private iCloud keys for Apples Chinese users.

From an investors perspective I'm a bit bearish on AAPL.

Not sure it's quite this simple; look at the overall case by specimen and age demographics graphs on https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases?areaType=natio... (England only, because the data for rUK isn't available).

Note the peak is around a week _prior_ the end of the school term in England (23 July), and this is true across basically all age groups.
What isn't connected to Jewish history? Let's see… Christianity's out, as is everything influenced by that. Same with Islam. Considering conquerers, trade, settlement – even just the impact of the United States – that leaves… not very much.

The atrocities of WWII are more recent than the start of Jewish history, but it's called “World War II” for a reason. Think of the impact of the Geneva Conventions, for just one example.
I remember seeing so many commercials for this thing, how could it have possibly sold so badly? I was even considering getting one.

I got back into woodworking at the start of the pandemic and couldn’t recommend it more. Something about working with your hands resets your brain in a way that computer work does not.
Now just imagine a foreign power being able to brick all power tools and blame it on a rogue hacker group.

But at least the stores didn't get tools stolen, didn't need to pay more for insurance, and could pocket the profits.
Not exactly.

The same is true for paying customers.

When you pay for a service, you have some leverage with them. You funded part of the service, you're a stakeholder. If they mess up, they lose your business.

When you don't pay, you have no leverage.
