Cleaned the car. Taking papers to bank tomorrow morning for shredding.

Then, in the evening there is a little music concert in a nearby park where kid has a henna tattoo stall so will be going there. Sunday morning is another fall fair in the town where kid has a henna tattoo stall so will go help her set it up.

In between, will argue with strangers and friends on social media about why Gandhi was good for India (it is Gandhi's birthday tomorrow). Will try to get some sleep and exercise as well as try to eat less. Browse Reddit and HN some.

And if SO has any other additional plans, will try to join as well. Maybe talk to sister over phone. Watch some travel videos of India like train trips etc.

Thanks for asking. Life still feels empty somehow.

As someone who was 12 years old in 2006, it's baffling to me that we came so close to an effective tax on carbon so long ago, and now it's anathema to even bring it up on a national platform. The cap-and-trade system in place in California is the one thing that keeps my hope in that state alive.
Epub ... is close, though it still hits a few failure points.

On physically-constrained devices (e.g., phones < 6" diagonal), it's about the only reader format that works at all. For larger devices, I strongly prefer a fixed-layout format such as PDF or DJVU.

Designers still foul up ePub far too often. The evolved typography of print took about 500 years to reach present development (though most of the modern elements were in place by the early 19th century). After a long enough period of getting things right, any change is most likely to be in the direction of Schlimbesserung: making things worse whilst attempting to improve them. This includes various font, point, and other stylistic choices. ePub affords too much freedom and authority to designers and not enough to readers.

On desktop platforms, there are few good ePub readers. fbreader on Linux is especially unpardonably poor. (I think Zathura may improve on this, if it does support ePub.)

And I think ePub still doesn't support formulae properly.

Thaks for the AMB and WML references, I'd not seen those yet. Oh ... WML -> WAP, right. I still think that the Web needs to be split up, probably along the lines I suggested some years ago:

> Instead of comming up with new API they retrofit existing one (the render function) to add continuation passing.

It probably helps to understand why they made that choice. I’m not going to go deep into archeology to do that, the likely reason has been a central of several front page articles recently: color of function.

Generators, like you mentioned, can solve this without infecting the whole stack, but it’s probably breaking for a lot of tooling. Async function components are almost certainly out of the question. They probably carefully considered the options and found this pattern unusual enough and identifiable enough to not break the world.

I don’t like it or agree with it. I think it’s really weird. But I can understand how it could happen.

> How would you critique an attitude (pretentiousness and unhelpfulness) without attacking the person? This is a shitty trait and you have it but do not feel offended?

I don’t understand the question. You’re presupposing personality traits where many other things may be contributing. I struggle to communicate a lot of ways, and one of my biggest challenges is actually having my person dismissed or being afraid that will happen. I hope this discussion has given you enough context that you don’t think I’m a clown, now or in any future interactions. But now I can’t know if you will unless you say so. Even though I’m just engaging with you as sincerely as I can.

This, on a scale of every internet interaction, can prevent people from learning or even contributing. Even if they’re talented or otherwise open to learning and have a lot of unrealized potential.
Don't know why you're being downvoted- in my experience you are 100% correct. Also, having a flight attendant on a private jet is pretty rare. It's usually 2 pilots and drinks are self-serve. Depends on the size of the jet and whether you request one, though.

Facebook Struggles to Quell Uproar over Instagram’s Effect on Teens
I've thought about this a fair bit myself, and I think it's a combination of a couple of the reasons stated.

First, it's a reasonable range in which every other note can be played within the string before.

But more importantly, I think it's just because it's incredibly easy to hear a fifth for tuning. Humans are fairly adept at hearing minute differences between two of the same frequency (i.e. a few hertz or cents off) when two notes are exactly the same, a fifth above share the most harmonics within that reasonable fingering range.

I was a pre-sale investor in Ethereum, have been in Bitcoin since it was < $2 per BTC. Your casual dismissal of my statement indicates you have no idea what you are talking about - no one is going to seriously use this. Just like no one serious keeps their balances on Coinbase Pro/Prime. They are a fine trading desk if you face them OTC, but to think they are going to become a state of the art "crypto cloud provider" is hilarious.

Next up, Coinbase NFT verification services (Sotheby's of the future!). My sides are sore.
I was surprised by this when I went in for my Precheck appointment soon after the program started. I had made room in my schedule for an hour or so, and was horrified when the entire interview was just a TSA employee taking my picture. I don't really understand what the utility could be beyond revenue and getting ahead of constituent pressure from people rich enough to make some noise about how useless the TSA is.

20% is not unreasonable. That's similar to the European OECD nation average of 21.7%.
The Bitcoin network supports a theoretical maximum of 7 transactions per second, so they’re probably eager to do it some other way.
It's not even that; the AOP plays no role in this feature. The BT chipset can autonomously send the beacons. There is no mechanism for the AOP to wake up when the phone is off - it's dead and doesn't even have firmware loaded.
A lot of speculation but no real answers. I find the argument about resonances between strings to be spurious since it really only applies to notes played on open strings which are a distinct minority of the notes played (not to mention that there are distinct advantages to avoiding open strings, such as the lack of the ability to apply vibrato on an open string).

Ultimately, it's a matter of string length, I think. It's worth noting that in the cello, viola and violin, all four fingers are used independently in fingering notes, but on the double bass (unless you're Joel Quarrington), you finger 1, 2, and 3+4 together since the littlest finger doesn't quite have the strength to press the string down on its own and the ring finger doesn't have the reach of the little finger.

But, like all the respondents in the discussion, I don't really know either.
That's what the other side says too

Depends on how you define "keep it safe". If I give you $100 to keep safe, I don't care how many times you get robbed as long as I get $100 back when I want it. If I can get my money, it's safe.
> Both are at a high position, it only one group would be looked down on for any sort of privilege granted them. It is a function of race. Not an inherent function of being white, but rather the culture that allows white people to always believe “I did this myself”.

How is "looking down on for any sort of privilege" a function of race? I thought it was a function of the asymmetrical nature of the privilege.
It wasn't just that interview. A background check happened behind the scenes.
The part I don't understand is how do I translate "ownership in apple" to USD. Obviously I can trade it to someone else, but that's just moving the problem -- eventually someone has to be in the position to actually extract real value out of the stock, in a fashion that correlates to company success.

AFAIK dividends aren't an inherit property to a stock (it's a "class" of stock) so that's not fully satisfactory, and it's not guaranteed either (a board "chooses" to give out dividend, for reasons/amounts unclear to me).

It's also very unclear how I would take my part ownership of $300B, and translate it to $20 in my pocket, except by passing the buck to some other investor.

The only scenario I can think of is the risk of sufficient ownership to take over the company, at which point you could pay yourself wage or force buybacks, but then stocks are entirely worthless until someone holds less than 51% -- and even then, zuckerberg famously screws that equation too. So under this description, there's still no way to actually translate my FB stock into USD, without FB doing a buyback (which would be pointless, because there's no risk of control-loss anyways), until zuckerberg dies.
Offering a superior reference would be more substantive than making vague unsubstantiated assertions of innacuracy.

"Has happened at least once in the history of the company", maybe. "Happens frequently enough to use as a meaningful benchmark", no.
Although it's typical to tune orchestral strings using harmonics to match the pitches. For the cello, viola and violin, this is done by comparing the 2nd and 3rd harmonics (at the octave and twelfth). For the bass, tuned in fourths, one compares the 3rd and 4th harmonics (at the 12th and second octave).

> Functional programming has gone mainstream about 10-20 years ago when javascript, Go, Rust and a few more recent other things took off.

The problem with this is that Javascript, Go, and Rust are merely "multi-paradigm" (meaning imperative and procedural / object-oriented) languages, not functional programming languages. They may have some of the trappings of functional programming such as first-class closures, but they lack the mathematical functions (i.e. pure functions which deterministically map formal arguments to results with no side effects, as opposed to imperative procedures) which are the key concept of functional programming. You can't achieve functional programming by adding closures or coroutines or procedures-as-values to an imperative language. You can only get there by removing things like side effects which are incompatible with functions.

Of course a program which consists of nothing but mathematical functions isn't very useful, since it can't interact with its runtime environment (no I/O), so you end up with a split between an imperative outer shell (e.g. the Haskell runtime) and a functional program which computes a stream of actions from a corresponding stream of inputs. At that point the concept of monads becomes very helpful to ensure that your input and output (action) streams remain synchronized and that the type of each input matches the corresponding action. As a bonus, the monad concept can be generalized to work in areas other than I/O (exception handling, nondeterministic computation, and probabilistic modeling, to name a few), and you can design combinators (e.g. loops) which are useful in any monadic context, not just the I/O context for which most languages provide special syntax.

Theory of Mind/Metacognition/Sense of Agency is well defined in the literature based on decades of research:

For the latest in consciousness research - look at:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.12798
Here (p14) they make artificial consciousness testable by making mental models of action, and the conscious 'thought' is the difference between what the action that was expected vs the action that occurred.

i notice youre using cloudflare to deliver the files on the download side, and im guessing you are taking advantage of bandwidth alliance so ingress/egress are basically free - i always thought the biggest cost for something like this would be the storage, eg if you are letting people send unlimited <5GB files for free, and each of those last for 10 days on what im assuming is some kind of object storage/s3-like thing, surely you are paying a fortune in $/GB/month, even if its pro-rated to 1/3 the amount since the files only live 1/3 a month?
It's not that difficult, FAANG (literally just those 5 companies) employ probably at least 5% of the SWEs in the country; add in all the other companies that pay comparable money and you're probably at 8-10%. Something that 10% of engineers can do (and, realistically, much more than 10% - how many engineers have never even tried to get in? At least half?) is, by definition, not "very difficult", relatively to the baseline level of difficulty inherent in the job.

I don't know why you think the average tenure across FAANGs is 2 years but it no doubt varies heavily by company. As another comment mentioned, Google has notoriously good WLB, and any individual team will be more predictive than the company as a whole. You'll hear plenty of "first-hand accounts" of high-pressure work environments because hundreds of thousands of engineers work at those companies!

Truework | Software Engineer, Product Manager, Product Designer | San Francisco, CA | Full time | Onsite or Remote (US) | https://www.truework.com/careers/

Truework is hiring senior software engineers, a senior product manager (PM), and a product designer to help overhaul employment and income verification and build a trusted identity layer for internet commerce. A full list of roles can be found here: https://www.truework.com/careers

Truework is building a platform to make it easy to leverage income and employment information to do business on the internet. Our platform enables faster closing of loans and other transactions, increases access to financial products (that are often limited to W-2 employees with good credit), and gives employees visibility and control into how their employment information is shared with others. We are growing quickly and currently handle thousands of verifications every month, which has enabled the approval of billions of dollars in loans and helps employees in regulated professions (e.g. nursing) start work more quickly than before.

Our team is still small, which means you’ll play big a part in shaping the future of Truework, and your work will have a significant impact and visibility. We are a Django and React (Typescript) shop, and run our infrastructure on AWS.

I (Steve) am Truework's head of engineering. If you’re interested or want to know more about working at Truework, send me a note at (my HN username)@truework.com.

The cartoon examples are exactly what are being brought by the counter argument the fact that i may take a position and defend it does not automatically mean that we can't get along and even work together. We can continue to hold positions without becoming inextricably partisan in a wider sense.

Also because I defend a position does not mean that I would do so ad infinitum, I can relinquish my position if your counter argument is stronger.

Obviously if we can't actually act like adults then none of these approaches will work, we'll either become violent or in the counter approach so compromised that are collective position may reflect absolute nonsense.
