Different approaches work for different people

e.g

People with family/kids would rather not do home-work tasks

Some people would prefer to be asked about heavy job-related stuff e.g frameworks, kubernetes, real-life problems

Some people would rather challenge themselves against foundational knowledge e.g because for them it may be faster to do 1-2 algo tasks or it being technology agnostic

Some people would rather try designing systems, operate at higher abstractions levels instead of typing code

...

I personally believe that I'd rather see security questions than algo/ds questions cuz poorly performing algo can always be rewritten, meanwhile leak cannot be reverted, but I'm aware that shitton of people would hate that

I've the opinion that you don't have to 100% agree with an article to share it though. Can still have interesting parts. And the discussion about the article and the author (being right or wrong) itself can be insteresting as well!

any idea about performance? if rules grow linearly with users how does it affect performance? as per casbin performance docs https://casbin.org/docs/en/performance if there are more than 100 rules it might require tuning however if model is such that we need to check if each user has permission to access some resource say route than it would easily grow linearly with number of users. Any idea how to solve this? i am not able to get any good documentation on this.
Covid-19 India tracker: When the curtains come down
Room occupancy is something I’ve been playing with for several years, and I’m yet to find a really good solution to it. Having said that Hass has a Bayesian filter component which can give you a probability of occupancy based on a bunch of weighted inputs, for example if a motion sensor triggered in the last minute the room is probably occupied, likewise if the TV in the living room is playing video.

I keep toying with the idea of a bunch of BLE beacons in every room and then using signal strength triangulation in a mobile app to determine which room someone is in but that falls over the moment someone leaves their phone in a room.
Any argumentation amounts to handwaving if you squint just right.

The argument brought forth by various people is clear: it's more difficult because it involves effort much more consistently, for a much longer period of time. You don't have to appreciate the argument; of course.

As to objecting to forced medical treatments: while that discussion is relevant to the appropriateness of an (almost) mandated vaccination campaign; it's not related to how difficult it is to diet vs. be vaccinated. The fact that you bring it up makes it look like you've made up your mind on vaccine mandates and aren't considering various arguments on their merits to support a conclusion on mandates but rather the reverse: that you're picking and choosing arguments based on whether or not they support your pre-conceived notion.

Now, that doesn't really bother me, but it does make me curious: why do you oppose vaccine mandates? And why this mandate but not others we've had for decades?
Five Cases When You Need Inactivity Monitoring If You Live Alone
> Are papers printed anymore?

You know what, they are.

I like print format for reading purposes, even if it's on my epaper tablet. The other day when I took a train for 8 hours, I printed out several papers to read on my b&w laserjet. And it's more difficult to read diagrams these days because people make them all in colour, sometimes in ways that are very difficult to read when it's converted to b&w.

I find it a real tragedy that all these efforts to turn papers into dynamic content, which I wholeheartedly applaud, ignore the still very relevant use case of printing. Every preview mechanism for camera-ready papers should include a b&w print-preview mode.

The other advantage of PDF is that "page count" still means something. There's a reason journals limit page count, and it's not because it adds a few kbs to the download. It's because long-winded papers that don't get to the point need editing.
Don't get me started on sound insulation. The condo I rent is two units in four stories and if the room on the fourth floor is playing music at a decent volume you can still hear from the garage. The whole thing is five million dollars. Retrofitting proper sound insulation on the whole building is north of 180k.
This doesn't really mean much to most people, since 99% of drivers are for obsolete or rarely used hardware.

If you have recent enough devices, experience is much better on Windows.

When I built a new PC about a year ago, installation of Windows was a breeze, and all drivers were automatically installed.

Whereas on Linux side, I've tried latest version of two popular Linux distributions (Ubuntu and another one I cannot remember), and they didn't even have the network adapter drivers. After spending some time I just gave up, because it was not trivial to fix it.

I insist on discussing salary range up front to avoid wasting everyone's time over the next couple of calls... also coding tests are a pain in the ass and as a general rule I don't do them. If I can walk someone through a project I've worked on and discuss it, or do a collaborative code review, that works, otherwise I thank them for the opportunity and move on.

I don't get a lot of callbacks anymore since taking this stance, but that's fine. There's a reason why probation periods exist, and after a few years in the field, most engineers are able to adapt to a new code base just fine, it's the soft skills that interviews should filter for anyhow.

There's a link in there to an issue of Cryptolog, NSA's employee newsletter, from 1994.[1] It mentions the "Director's Summer Program".

"For the past four summers, the R51-sponsored Director's Summer Program ( DSP) has invited exceptionally talented young mathematicians from across the nation to NSA for up to 12 weeks and exposed them to the
excitement of cryptologic mathematics by giving them hands-on experience working on some of our most difficult and important cryptologic problems under the direction of top Agency mathematicians. The program has been enormously successful in its first four years ( 1990-1993 ). obtaining surprisingly effective operational solutions to
very hard problems, encouraging participants to continue their study of mathematics, and helping NSA to become better known in the active network of outstanding young mathematicians.
Entry into this program ideally will take place between the junior and senior undergraduate years, but
exceptional older or younger undergraduates and high school students may be considered."

We had five Sun terminals connected to the Cray in the room for the eight students and two technical directors, but we had to add three more terminals.

So, I'm outing myself as a book nerd (read a lot during quarantine), but I also recently enjoyed The Poison Squad by Deborah Blum which covered the creation of the FDA during the end of the 19th century and a few of their first BIG wins were getting formaldehyde, borax, arsenic and lead out of milk, canned meats and other products on the market.

I was surprised in that book of how much the F in the "Food and Drug Administration" was initially involved in enforcement. Nowadays we mostly think of them for regulating drugs and medical devices (or, at least, that's what I think of them as doing!) however initially a lot of their enforcement powers were to prevent fraudulent labeling and unsafe additives in supermarket foods.

The part in the book where the US Army was feeding the troops fighting the Spanish American War canned beef embalmed with formaldehyde was rather disgusting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_beef_scanda...

Ah, another type of market assholery. Price discovery mechanism that's free for the builders, but very expensive for the would-be customers. About as nice as grading on a curve.

I wonder if there's a space for business for an intermediary who would take on multiple builders for your single home, wait for them to do their price discovery dance, and then drop every one of them except for the cheapest one.

Disrupting schedules isn't free for customers either.
Offsets - if they are real offsets are great. Problem is that many offsets are not really offsets in the sense that they are not "additive". They don't really remove or sequester CO2e. Rather, they claim or use the CO2e saved by an activity or project which is being removed anyway. A good example of this is trees which already exist. Yes - they sequester carbon - but they're already doing it. Complex issue so be careful!
I worked around this by creating a button that runs a git commit & push, and an iframe that points to a local running flask app that renders a <pre><code>{{ shell("git status")}}</pre><code>. Not as nice as fully declarative YAML, as this also captures the data files, but at least I have point in time restore.
I'd also strongly recommend this book, which had multiple moments of utter disbelief. Keefe was able to obtain inside information from the Sackler family itself and from collaborators and Purdue employees. It's a great read.

Interesting that a "deceased young woman" is identified as a prostitute there.

I use a Mac daily, as well as Surface devices and a Lenovo.

Except for my Surface Book 3, nobody else even comes close to even the four-year-old AAA-powered Magic Trackpad I keep on my desk, although I was surprised at how good the Lenovo Flex 5’s trackpad actually is.

For me, it’s a combination of gesture support (which is why I use a trackpad alongside a mouse), sensitivity (very good hardware) and exquisite fine tuning of things like acceleration and pressure.

(I don’t use the haptic features on my MacBook Pro and prefer tap-to-click to press-to-click, so once a new device is set up, hardware differences become slighter.)

Alex Kidd was my Mario and Sonic. I only had a Master System 2 growing up, so I ended up getting really good at Alex Kidd in Miracle World (side note, I bought the remaster as soon as it was available to pre-purchase because of this.) We couldn't afford many games, so I only had a handful of other ones, like Submarine Attack. In addition, my grandfather was the one who bought the system for me, when I was only 2 years old (I didn't get to play it until much later) and he passed away before I grew up enough to really remember him, but there's a vivid image I do have of my grandfather bringing out the box to give to me, or more correctly, my mom, when we went to visit him.

Master System 2 has a warm place in my heart.
Reading between the lines here, I guess the real question is “does this stuff work when not everyone is technically inclined”.

When I first started working in home automation my boss at the time had a saying “if you have to press a button, it’s not home automation”. That single phrase is the core of making automation work with non-technical users. The house should always do the least surprising thing by default, for example turning on lights when you enter a room, but only if it’s dark. Light switches should turn the lights on and off, rather than disable the light automation (looking at you Hue).

If you can configure things to that extent, then yeah, it works beautifully. If everyone has to faff around with a mobile app to be able to see where their aiming on a 4am toilet run it’ll be hated with a passion.

> If apple daily is the only pro democracy, which is a tabloid style newspaper, the conclusion is that HK democracy is likely a very poor one.

Hong Kong doesn't have true democracy. On surface it might follow the British system [0]. The chief executive, the equivalent of mayor, is elected by the election committee of 1,200 members [1]. Slightly over half of the legislative council, the equivalent of the parliament, is the "functional constituency", which means those members are appointed by selected member of selected industries [2]. Hong Kong has been pushing for universal suffrage every year. Every year, peaceful demonstration is seen on 1st of July to ask for reforming the election[3]

> It seems the market welcomes that...

It is more nuanced. Some are market manipulation. Some wants to support Jimmy Lai. There were people spreading rumours on lihkg.com, the hong kong reddit, that buying stock of apple daily can financially support the company. There are people thinking the company will soon be de-listed, which is more likely true, hence want a piece of history by getting a physical stock. Some want to make a profit by riding the market trend hence perpetuating the rising trend.

> your number is just applications.

You are right. Some factor to consider:

- the numbers I quoted is for the UK only. US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan are the other company choices

- There are around 300,000 Canadian in HK. They can leave anytime [4]. And there are many holders of other citizenship whom returned HK after the 90s migration, sensing that HK weren't as bad as imagined.

> They seem are disqualified on the new oath rule?

The new oath rule was imposed after the election if I remember correctly. And there is no governance over the execution of the rule. It's basically up to whoever in position thinks you violated the rule. No proof is needed.

> non profit disbanded fearing of crackdown.

I might have misused the term charity. Non-profit fearing crackdown is still wrong, right? It was a non-profit for visiting inmate, so they feel cared, after all

> it helps to guide the democracy sentiment of the society

People leaving the city are those either who care about democracy or who care about economy. So I hold opposite opinion. Time will tell.

Can anyone point to an example of an OpenAPI generated SDK which they like?

There are strong advantages for maintainers to generate from an OpenAPI spec, but I get the feeling consumers (devs, implementers) don’t like them as much. But that may be dependent on the language, or entirely false. Mostly based on anecdotal feedback, and primarily from those who were happy with an existing SDK and, understandably, didn’t want to change.

I’d be keen to hear what HN users think.
Is this what GP is talking about? It's about charging corporations.
What’s wrong is the people in charge of most companies. They have money and connections but not much talent for actually managing the building of working things. And then they want to pay relatively little to the people who actually can build the things… while not knowing how to distinguish those people from the rest of the crowd.

And of course, among the skills they lack is the ability to measure results and design effective compensation systems.
Hustle Culture vs. Chill Work
I'm not a big fan of python but I use it a lot for quick stuff, and syntax is just a non-issue. Any half-decent editor will handle that for you (and yes, this includes Vim).

Criticize the wonky static typing tools and I'm with you. Criticize the unpredictable performance and I'll join the choir. Criticize dependency management and I'll unleash my rage. But come on, this is just not a thing. IME even data analysts with non-cs backgrounds and very limited programming ability never see this as a problem.

It's fine if you don't like it (I prefer my {s as well!) but I'll be honest: it really feels like a nitpick.

my contracting contracts - in Denmark - often have a notice period but it is around 1 week to 1 month.

I pretty much refuse coding exercises for contract work since it's so easy to get rid of me if you don't like it, and anyway as a contractor you get paid per hour so they should pay me for it. But sometimes there comes a place you really want to work for and they happen to have the coding exercise...

Um, there actually is a fair amount of evidence that violent video games influence people's thinking.

Just as a quick gut-check, ask yourself this: if they didn't change your thinking, why would you play them? Assuming they don't offer any level of excitement or entertainment, what is the point?

Evidence: the US army uses FPS to train people for combat, and there is a longer history of what it takes to train people to shoot people: switching from round targets to human-shaped targets makes it a lot easier for soldiers to aim the gun at a person before pulling the trigger.

Now clearly most people who play violent video games don't turn into mass killers, but to say that the deep immersion of a FPS doesn't change your thinking is farcical on the face of it.
There's really no reason why they should be able to buy their way out of prison time. It's kind of a shame. Justice is supposed to be blind, including to financial assets of the perps.

Just to be clear, you're talking about freelance consulting in NL, correct? I can believe that. Based on my conversations with peers, the big consulting firms seem to be the exact opposite however:

- Spending endless time on useless reports.

- Technically ancient development practices.

- Delivering "courses" or workshops to clients on topics they only themselves learned about 2 weeks earlier.

- Extremely low starting salaries, with long working hours, and a ladder culture that's been described to me as very corps-like (dutch name for fraternities).

As a relatively fresh FTE, the "big consulting shops" have given me the strong impression that it is where technical prowess goes to die.
I’ve been trying HA yearly (as my home set up is essentially HomeKit/homebridge with Node-RED bolted on to expose unsupported devices) and it always strikes me as very declarative and finicky to configure, requiring either maintaining a bunch of YAML files or clicking through screen after screen of longish forms.

I wonder if there are any plans to make the UX feel simpler and less crowded…
