I'd say it should be possible to have a certain degree of compatibility just like I expect my GPU to work on any of the MB on the market supporting PCI-e(Space and cooling issues asside).
The battery should be just a battery with a protection system. Charging and BMS should be separate and replaceable along with the battery. The OS of the car should support x number of BMS systems with a unified protocol.

You want a Li-Ion pack? This BMS and this shielding are required. You want Lead batteries? This BMS needs to charge it. Do you want that new battery tech? You need the new BMS for it and an OS driver for the BMS.
Plug it in and it's done.
Doesn't matter, the standard library simply has to set a consistent example for people to follow. They can choose to ignore it.

> I've never understood why techie interviews aren't simply replaced with the sort of discussions programmer co-workers have amongst themselves daily.

Because of an attempt to standardize the questions so as to rank candidates based on their answers? Notice how many times the word bias pops up in articles complaining about the interview process? Bias this and bias that? Well, having a freeform chat with a candidate is just inviting bias.
It matches the official Italian protocol for flag display. Nothing wrong.

When both the Italian and EU flags are displayed, the protocol requires them to be flown at the same height, "as equals". Many places also fly a third flag, representing city colors, regional flag, university emblem, etc.

For example: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/Palazzo_...

(the yellow/red flag in the corner is the flag of the city of Rome)
Disintermediation defies all odds. Who would have thought Chinese entrepreneurs would be able to successfully market and sell to fickle individual US consumers through Etsy, Amazon, and eBay. Surely someone needed to curate the offerings and account for cultural gaps? Turns out that’s what platforms do.
Many countries require other flags to be at the same height and size as the national flag, some specifying placement of the national flag in relation to others.
I get the point(s) here, but I think that my error was very much a rookies, and that one of the first things that good builders think is "where is the water going"?

Agreed. I don't want any union to represent my interests or interfere with my relation with businesses.

Trade unions constrain employment and add inefficient procedures in the workplace.

I will always avoid any industry/country dominated by unions. And that's how I moved from Spain to UK.

You think that's bad? Wait until you hear about the horrible service I got from my local garage the other day. Took my car in for a routine service and the staff were completely unprofessional and rude. Didn't do the job I asked of them and then had the gall to charge a fortune for it. What a rip-off!

Just thought I'd mention that, since the theme is apparently "random complaints which have nothing whatsoever to do with the linked article".
WebKit builds for Linux, if you're doing web testing.
I wonder if there's a way to put a figure on the damage those 9 million vehicles have done. For example, we know that diesel cause cancer [1] and these cars were emitting more than they should have been. How many extra deaths did they cause?

At this point, the French should just strike a deal with the Chinese. Sure they already know how to build nuclear submarine, but I am sure they would pay billions to lease land in New Caledonia, Guadeloup ... even Brittany. In the end, France don't care about the East China Sea so they should be more pragmatical when their historic "allies" make such moves.
Serious DPI vendors should really implement a proper state machine, so that they can't be fooled that easily. But middleboxes are not "security products", they can't be.

"Insertion, Evasion, and Denial of Service: Eluding Network Intrusion Detection" was published in 1998 [https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a391565.pdf]. We should know that DPI is not reliable.

In fact Geneva is a research project that expands and extends the concepts of fragrouting, applying a genetic algorithm to automatically find flaws in censoring middleboxes [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kkevsterrr/geneva/master/e...].

It is expected that a research project of this type exposes these kind of bugs. And the reason why they can research these things is because "there isn't enough information on the wire".

Bugs of this type are egregious for their danger and simplicity, but patched these there will always be.

For example my opinion is that introduction of "class" in Javascript was not a good idea that only added confusion to newcomers.

Why not? E.g. you can use Wine for Windows development.
>As for retro dev. I think the C64 (also 16-bit memory) makes alot more sense as you can run software on real hardware!

Running code on the Master System is just easy instead of trivial.
I agree. I am not endorsing the argument, just presenting it and highlighting the implicit assumptions and trade-offs.
Ethically , are robotics a good idea ? Who knows. People do need good jobs, or even just jobs, and it doesn't seem more robots are going to help with that.
So I think it's actually evolved into a weird sort of test of conscientiousness. Originally the idea was probably that we will test people's abstract problem solving skills. Can they come up with a solution on the fly? Ok, now can they figure out any clever optimizations?

But at this point it is sort of expected that if you are interviewing with a FAANG you will be getting these sorts of questions (and they tell you that up front), so it becomes a sort of test of "is this person willing to spend 10 hours preparing for an interview"?
I feel your pain... I was looking at building a house (with a national builder) and the historical prices in that neighborhood showed that the price went up about 30% in the past year. I think most of that was just the general price of housing, not just raw materials.

We decided to stay put in our existing home for the time being. I don't think housing prices will likely go down much, but maybe level off a bit? The rise in the Case-Shiller index certainly doesn't look sustainable: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CSUSHPINSA
In the European country I live, anecdotally apple were in third place pre-pandemic to Samsung and Huawei for new phones. I haven't been out enough since then to confirm if it's changed, but I imagine the news about Huawei's USA struggles has dented confidence for carriers, if not consumers, as they don't seem to pushed as much anymore in marketing.

The thing Apple does have, and lets them remain in first place (but not the majority like the US), is the long tail of the iPhone 6 or whatever that someone has passed down to their kid or sold second hand that's still working. You don't see the same amount of Galaxy S4s hanging around, even though when both phones were new market share was a lot more equivalent for the two.

I think part of this may be a market difference here. The majority of non-tech people are on prepaid and buying a phone that's <€300 unsubsidised every 3-4 years. So they could get a second hand iPhone that's already 3-4 years old for that price, or they could get some Android mid range model new for like €200 and more people opt for the latter.
I built a script to get all of my kids pictures off of their daycare website. I shared it, and it spread. I’ve received the nicest emails from people thanking me - including a guy who lost his job and his wife had cancer and couldn’t afford the daycare anymore, but my script saved his kids pictures. First time I felt I can make a difference instead of just make-work:

I know that is sarcasm. But if you ever work in academic fields, many profs and researchers are clueless. Many will admit that. They usually will perform research that is very narrowly focused. And random people as crowd do give a smarter feedback to them. In this case, the research didn't touch on memory cells and only assume antibodies tested outside of body in lab sterile environment. Think of it as academic movie cliffhangers. These researchers will get another grants to further study these random people moot points. Then these researchers get to add more research papers with their names. They are motivated to do so with the additional grants and research papers opportunities. That is the way...in academia.

Because they had an amazing crack at trashing the country and needed to be put down.

3 day work week, rolling black outs, propping up of old dead industries.

Not to mention all the dead companies they striked in to the ground. Bloody criminals the lot of them.
> The way I see it is, the most condescending interview for a programmer is the one that contains no coding at all.

Why is that?

The last two interviews I had involved no coding. Both led to an offer.

In one of them, I demoed a personal project and showed bits of its code. I think it would've been quite condescending of them to have me do a fizzbuzz after I've shown them 10k lines of working code.

The other company didn't even care to see my code even though I brought my laptop.. they just took it for granted that I can code.
> Once a language gets beyond a certain complexity — say LaTeX, Common Lisp, C++, PL/1, modern Java

Nevertheless Common Lisp, C++, let a lone Java (I know nothing about PL/1) at least are reasonably easy to grok, read and write. At the same time LaTeX seems a language of extraterrestrial insectoids as soon as you go beyond composing formulae and substituting text in pre-made templates and and want really custom typesetting. I once felt like I would like to actually learn it, tried it and gave up completely quickly - it really feels unapproachable.
Subcap: Add Subtitles to Video
Subcap is a mobile app that makes videos readable with automatic subtitles. You can add subtitles to your videos on all your social media platforms, even to your Instagram stories with Subcap.
Subcap allows you to shoot a video simultaneously or upload a video from the gallery. It automatically transcribes the audio to text which you can edit or copy. Subcap’s auto-captions maker uses artificial intelligence to generate subtitles with perfect accuracy. Subtitles can be added in different colors, fonts, or positions according to selection. With Subcap, you can easily and automatically add subtitles to your videos not only in English but also in 125 languages and variants.

According to Forbes, 78% of consumers’ purchases are impacted by companies’ social media posts. For that matter, it’s really to your benefit to connect with as many social media users as possible, including people with disabilities.
While the main use of accessibility features is to enable people with disabilities to use social media, using them properly provides more business benefits, such as greater reach, higher engagement and better SEO. Because not only the deaf community but also everyone who uses social media actively can benefit from readable videos. 85% of videos are watched without sound. For this reason, subtitles can help boost your SEO and even improve brand recall by enabling search engines to crawl and index your videos. Despite all these benefits, only 36% of organizations add subtitles to all their video content. Wouldn’t you want to make a difference and get ahead?
Subcap is free to download and includes in-app purchases. If no subscription is purchased, the user can manually add subtitles to their videos. If the user wants to add auto-generated subtitles, he/she must get a subscription. Monthly, 3-month and 6-month subscriptions are available. According to the duration of the packages, the user can transcribe unlimited videos for that period.
Also for more information about the app, please visit: https://subcap.app/

Every Go program written using interface{} to provide psuedo-generics was known to be "wrong" at the time it was written, unfortunately the "right" way wasn't a part of the language so people put up with it. I don't believe that generics are going to radically shift any facet of Go programming and I predict that a year from now they'll be just another feature of the language.

If somebody's refactoring some area of code that heavily uses interface{} or code generation maybe they'll considered rewriting parts, but interface{} and code generation are not deprecated or made obsolete by generics.
> All you are selecting for is people who really really want to work for you.

Really really wanting to work there is a good start. If they can also finish the tasks in a competent way it would seem they are perfect candidates. What is the problem?
The biggest problem with being an owner builder is you don't have an ongoing relationship with sub-contractors. Which means that for any subs you hire, you will be their lowest priority and their smallest concern. Also, you don't really know what you're doing so you will think they made a mistake when they didn't and you won't always recognize real mistakes.

I did this for my new house that was being built before, during, and after the peak of the pandemic. I wouldn't do it again. We're moved in now and we find small mistakes all the time that an experienced contractor would have easily spotted during construction. It makes me wonder what we can't see. Oh and it's impossible to get the subs back out to fix the problems because they have all their money at this point.
Surely this is more like... when Java 5 introduced Generics, and everything changed a lot (eventually)?
If you have a huge traffic with high bandwith, maybe consider using CDN or some S3 service like B2 instead of hosting over video platform.
Assuming a 4% interest rate and 30 year mortgage that 700k house will also cost you $500k in interest and therefore the financing cost of that house is $1.2 million. The fun part: dropping interest to 0% raises the price of the house to $1.2 million without raising the financing cost.

What dropping interest rates does is not prop up the price of housing, it's increasing the resale value of the housing you already pay for.
Your hypothetical scammer just got $20,000 deposited into their bank account. I don't think adhering to the letter of the loan, and repaying it, is a huge concern of theirs. Withdraw it all, and go live somewhere cheap for a couple years.

Ditto. Even across upgrades it’s had very, very few issues - and I’m using it for both a bevy of normal home automation stuff, and to manage isolated power and water microgrids for several homesteads - routing power, switching dump loads on and off, balancing battery banks, monitoring tank levels, running pumps, alerting on low flow states (time to change a filter), and all the rest. It’s mission critical for us, and hasn’t let us down in the two years it’s been running the show.
What? They desperately need somebody to do that. The seller that figures out that the hundred 'different' products from brands called things like 'MIOUYIKI' with a 'product name' like '100% sharpest knife best for you [five star icons]' are absolutely not appealing to me, will do a lot of business indeed.

(Or perhaps it's happened (to other listings), and they do a good enough job I haven't realised. But there's just so much tat to wade through on Amazon these days, that would all sell better if it were just listed/branded/marketed etc. by an English person. I'm not saying I'd do a better job of selling in China - just that as local and culturally familiar people as possible should do that. Spend a fiver on Upwork or whatever and a have a native look it over.)
We are reminded daily in the USA that 9-11 was not about outside terror but inside terror trying to grab power through injecting fear into a system to attempt to over throw it using the effing same BS that stared the civil war
10 challenges is like two weeks of work. You probably studied for 3 to 5 years, and hopefully you'll work there for at least 2 years. Two weeks is not much, even if it is tedious.

Show HN: Kizie – Twitter for web, reimagined
Hi fellow misfits, I'm Rishi(https://twitter.com/thelifeofrishi), I have been working on a better version of Twitter at https://kizie.co, let me know what you think

--

Tech

Next.js, Vercel, Supabase, Tailwind, ah yep that's pretty much it

--

Why?

Because Twitter.com is cluttered, has ads that no one likes, lacks UX and can be better, Kizie.co intends to fix all of these.

--

Whats' in Kizie.co that Twitter.com doesn't have?

- Undo tweet, you get time to discard/re-send last sent tweet

- Analytics, you get stats of your tweets so you know which tweets are working and to increase engagement

- Quick media preview, preview photos/videos in feeds in full aspect ratio quickly on hover, Twitter.com is still trying to fix the issue :D

- Reader mode for links, my personal favorite, links in your timeline can be viewed in a beautiful reader view in the app itself

- Save links for later

- Plus Kizie has almost all of the Twitter.com features

- Me

---

I'm the only one working on it, and so I assure you there can be bugs in the app :D, if you come across one just let me know on Twitter.

I have been constantly using Kizie on Web and through macOS app since last couple months now and I think it's good and stable enough for daily use at this moment. I've been also constantly working on UX and adding useful features, currently a tool to convert Tweet to image - https://kizie.co/tweet-image (standalone rn but will be available for Pro users and could be used from the feeds). Have bunch of ideas to go live :)

That's it, let me know what you think of it!
I believe things like Home Assistant are the future of IoT. There are always going to be thousands of random devices and sensors - many of which may become obsolete or unsupported by their manufacturer. A centralized intelligent and well-maintained hub which can communicate with many different things really helps keep everything glued together and working long term.
This will only get bigger as in more slaughter. Anger my ass. No action, talk only....reminds me of certain EU organizations that has become the butt jokes of many. Identify the killer. Dox them. Change the law. Otherwise it is just another news for the day. Tomorrow is other "anger" protest with.
Sounds like a causation / correlation mistake. Unemployed people find a way to spend their free time. Sounds to me like games are one of the most engaging escapes from the misery of unemployment.
For farms, the social benefits of having farms are arguably higher. Hence the government tries alternative approaches, i.e. labor laws. Admittedly, the government is not enforcing labor laws effective ly, but the reasons are beyond the scope of my answer.
I read your comment, and then the article, and honestly, the article makes a lot of good points.

I had precisely one boss who was an asshole code reviewer - and the worst is that by then I was a far better programmer than he was, because he was crazy.

(Random example of many - he personally adopted a "foveal coding style" which meant that he pressed return at the first possible moment after 40 characters. Yes, 40. To achieve that, he had a whole glossary of local variable names, all starting with the same prefix, that you needed to learn to read his code - slea, sleb, slec, sled, slee, slef, etc. "sle" stood for serialized ledger entry, except that none of these were serialized and most weren't ledger entries...)

Even knowing he was an idiot, these abusive code reviews were surprisingly hard on me, particularly since I got forced to do a lot of stupid things with my name on it.

I started to get panic attacks, and they lasted for years.

I made a girl cry once with a code review when I was being purely formal - "this cannot work", that sort of thing. Maybe she was somewhat oversensitive, _but_ she was definitely overwhelmed by her new job, and it was not productive! It was just a mistake on my part.

So I am "brutal" and incredibly detailed in code reviews _but_ I'm also friendly and chatty and explain how I have also made that error in the past, which I certainly have because I have made a huge number of errors!, and tips on how to avoid these issues in the future, as well as some sort of programming language suggestion if appropriate.

People seem to really like it. I get a lot of kind words. It makes it much more fun if you see this as a collaborative game whose idea is to get the highest group scope than a competition.

(Also, it's the rare code review that I don't catch some actual bug in the code that would lead to wrong results, and if you point it out nicely, people really appreciate not having to debug that later.)
How can a web hosting service be politically inclined? That's just bonkers to me. Just because they host alt-right content? What's next? A restaurant that is labelled alt-right because some alt-right person once ate there?
How so? Apple also releases new models almost every year with very dubious quality. I remember some scandals about antennas, and more recently about RF interference with pacemakers, but i'm sure there's a lot more i'm unaware of. Apple prevents users from using the hardware however they please and blocks the bootloader. They don't even give you root on your own phone!

Also they're famous for making their products hard to repair. It's hard to find spare parts, hard to find their custom screw heads, and hard to tear everything apart. You can't even remove the battery without tools which is very user-hostile, bad for the environment, AND was a pattern "popularized" by Apple, because if any other hardware manufacturer had dared to do that, they would have sold exactly ZERO phones.

All in all, Apple is close to the worst manufacturer i can think of to get inspiration from, although on specific topics (eg. LCD screen solidity) they are definitely not the worst.
They don't (want to) understand that social network means that users talk to each other.

The iTunes stuff was unidirectional from 'artists' (i.e. ad-agencies) to users.
That's probably true if it were the case, but it seems that entire industries are impacted.
I've actually seen APIs with "pretty=true" or "indent=4" type query parameters to emit formatted JSON for people before, though it doesn't go as far as HTML with syntax colouring.

I just spoke with someone last night that works in industrial robotics. Lead time for a new FANUC was ~50 weeks for one of his customers. This impacts my buddy b/c his company helps manufacturers build out and QC their robot lines.
So one dummy who made like 15eth off a very fringe method AND GOT CAUGHT invalidates a whole new technology / asset class?
