> Training up an employee only takes a few months.

Uh??? No it doesn't. There's a huge skill discrepancy between senior devs and junior devs. You can train them to be somewhat useful, but it'll take years for them to champion complex projects by themselves, and even then, it takes years on top to be able to gather reqs, ask the right questions to stakeholders, and make a scalable, solid implementation.

Juniors are great if you have low hanging fruits, or you want to invest in a great hire.
Ha, I don't know why I wrongly assumed this, but I already got stuck on the first image of a simple car. I assumed the game is about the edge cases of image recognition and that the labels will have nothing in common with the image like (photo of sheep dog -> floor mop), or (photo of pug -> bread)

Apple leapt ahead of other laptops again with their trackpad that uses haptics instead of an actually button. It takes consistent pressure across the whole trackpad instead of being more difficult to press as you get closer to the hinge. It feels ridiculously convincing that you're actually pushing a button and even has a cool feature where you have a second action by pushing harder. And it really does feel like you've pushed a button deeper.

Part of it is just incredible laziness. One year my team was late in selecting intern resumes to interview for joining our team the next summer, and getting later because prospects who were contacted had already accepted internships elsewhere. When I was asked to help out selecting resumes to contact, they were all stored in a google drive folder with subfolders for each school. I asked for a list of who had already been contacted so I don't submit duplicates, and learned that the former guy doing it had just gone into the UC Berkeley folder and was picking files from there. One, no wonder they were taken, but two, come on... I downloaded everything into a flat local folder, and reviewed resumes by a mix of random selection with shuf and pdfgrep'ing some keywords I thought might be unique.
That's funny, because you get the same thing with firewood and wood furnaces now. Not particularly better on the unhealthiness scale, either.

I frequently will find one of their auto-mixes I like, and listen to it for a while throughout the day skipping songs I don't like or I'm not in the mood for. Then when I go back the next day, even if I didn't restart the mix, it has updated, and what plays isn't the stuff I liked and repeated. It was the stuff they have financial incentive to get plays on that I skipped the day before and "might be in the mood for now".

This alone drove me back to my local music library.

I would rather dislike a song and have it recommended in a "How about now" playlist to determine if I actually hate it or if it was a mood in the moment.

Actually I’m not necessarily arguing one direction or the other. To be honest, at this point I don’t think the US or Europe truly benefits from a US military presence over there (at least since the mid-late 90s). As an American, I’d be happy if we didn’t have much beyond an embassy level presence pretty much anywhere. I even say this as a military kid who enjoyed the best times of my life living in Europe on US bases.

It just seemed odd to me that it came off as one sided in the comment. As if the favor was entirely from Belgium to the US.
> Like airplanes? Like cruise ships?

1 space x launch for wealthy tourists emits the same CO2 as around 500 transatlantic flights that can haul 10’s of thousands of people between continents.

Yet this forum is fast to propose solutions to make long haul flights unaffordable, in order to curb the emissions, but somehow when Elon Musk is involved, the calculation changes completely and it is fine to needlessly emit co2 the moment that climate catastrophe has reached our doorsteps.
I've had the opposite experience, every single one works great first try but with most operating systems releasing at least twice per year these days. As such I haven't found the need to have a big list of options that I'll install more than once or twice anyways. That combined with UEFI there isn't much process to make USBs bootable.

Persistence always seemed cool on these types of tools but similarly I've never needed a persistent USB I'll boot from often enough to make the persistence more of a benefit than a burden.

You seem confused. This topic is about the pretreatment plant, not the power-plant.

You don't build a pretreatment plant if you're only using a fraction of its capacity. You'd instead just ship in pre-treated methane by pipeline or by truck.

But that's not what SpaceX is asking for. SpaceX is asking for their own, private, pretreatment plant. For... some reason. (The underlying theory is: SpaceX seems to be trying to mine their own natural gas)

--------

EDIT: And if the power plant was expected to be operating at only a minor fraction of the year, you'd expect something in the PEA to note that fact.

It may be due to the fact more people have opinions about something than first hand experience.

"Python doesn't scale", "JavaScript sucks, what do you expect from something that was hacked together in a week", "The answer in one word: Scala", "Statically typed languages are the answer". Working on a machine learning platform, part of what I do is to talk with people who use the variety of tools involved. I interact with many people who say bad things about Jupyter notebooks, and I get into a conversation asking them about the reasons they're unsatisfied and what they've experienced. Most people will admit they don't really actually use Jupyter notebooks.

Many people just parroting for a variety of reasons: to belong to something, to take the safe way and "build an audience" by repeating something they've read a lot. One reason I blocked probably the biggest data science blog from my search results is this.

Mandatory disclaimer for people who'll understand this as saying that either JavaScript, Python, or Jupyter notebooks are perfect. It's not saying this.
Thank you for your measured response.

I get what you say.

Anyways, we'd all do better to demilitarize a little. The current geopolitical trends are really worrying.
To quote the quote this is about:

> "Member States shall ensure that the TLD registries and the entities providing domain name registration services for the TLD publish, without undue delay after the registration of a domain name, domain registration data which are not personal data."

Your address is personal data, so is email, phone number, more or less any contact information etc.

So what is not personal data? Mainly thinks like that the domain had been registered through godaddy, i.e. thinks a police agency needs to know, to know where to go with a curt order for actual private information.

Also interesting: It's for the TLD, I wonder if they have a clear definition of it, or else .co.uk and similar would no longer be covered (not that it matters anymore). But what definitely should not be covered are sub-domain registrars.

Through I haven't read the draft of the directive, so I can't tell you if there are some uncanny effects between article 23 and other articles.

It can be used for both. With my implementation it's mutable when initially populated (by passing an enumerable of key/value pairs), and then becomes immutable once constructed.

I enjoyed this article in The New Yorker (Apr 13 2020 issue), where the author talks about his boulangerie apprenticeship in Lyon, France. Parts of it were beautifully written for my taste.

Here's what Oracle says for JDK8:

"When the number of entries in the hash table exceeds the product of the load factor and the current capacity, the hash table is rehashed (that is, internal data structures are rebuilt) so that the hash table has approximately twice the number of buckets."

and it explicitly tells you that HashMap will default to 0.75 load factor, therefore the documentation is telling you that HashMap(400) is not a suitable container for 400 items but only up to 300 items.

Now, it's true that e.g. Rust's HashMap::with_capacity(400) is actually a container which promises it's suitable for 400 items‡ and that's more ergonomic, but I don't think we can call Java's choice here a mistake, it's just harder to use correctly.

‡"The hash map will be able to hold at least capacity elements without reallocating".
Agile is much more than Scrum. There many different ways to do Agile. Just as an example Scott McConnell has a great book called Rapid Application Development (1996) where he documents many best practices and approaches that are essentially Agile, but that book predates the signing of "The Agile Manifesto"(2001). One of the practices is that you should carefully select the project life cycle model. Among the options that are documented in the book:

- Pure Waterfall
- Code-and-Fix.
- Spiral.
- Modified Waterfalls.
- Staged Delivery.
- Design-to-Schedule.
- Evolutionary Delivery.
- Design-to-Tools.
- Commercial Off-the-Shelf Software.

McConnell gives you enough information to help you make a choice.
On the other hand Scrum tells you to treat every project the same way and most people do not know why things are done in certain way. They just parrot the same phrases they heard in their two weeks Scrum training and typically the Scrum Master knows nothing about software development him/her self.
In this case his problem likely stems from when the install was set up in 2007, 14 years ago. Back then having these charset mismatches in LAMP were super common

These days the defaults tend to be slightly more sane. PHP is still messed up with the various mb_ string functions though.
I know people here are going to hate this idea, but non-competes could help alleviate this problem.

Non-competes are clearly terrible for experienced employees, but I think for those who are just trying to break into the industry, it can be helpful. If a company knows that their junior engineers aren't just going to up and leave as soon as they've completed spending a bunch of money to train them and are now useful, they'd be more willing to hire more of them.

It took me three years from the time I completed a bootcamp to when I finally got a real software engineering job. Had I signed a contract that would've required me to work for a company for three years, I would've been in a much, much better situation.

You've found a feature, not a bug. In my view, wealth and power concentration is the point of nations and empires, not the side effect.

As a recovering alcoholic, I've noticed a tendency for non-alcoholics to look for a reason a person might drink themselves to death. People love stories, especially tragic stories. In this case the story is "The FBI drove him to drink and suicide." This story has a bad guy and a tragedy.

The problem with this is twofold. The FBI followed a lot more people who didn't drink themselves to death. Second, alcoholism is a disease like cancer. It takes people out for no good reason. Many people have had periods of heavy drinking and wonder if it was alcoholism. It wasn't because they stopped. Alcoholics can't stop drinking without help. Then when you add mental illness to the situation, which many do in Hemingway's case, it becomes even less based the circumstances and more about the disease of alcoholism comorbid with bipolar disorder.

The FBI looking at him was stressful no doubt, but it's not why he drank or shot himself.

Why? People who are racist against Chinese people are still allowed to comment on HN, as long as they aren't making racist comments. And in this case Hoy's apparently racist comment was eight years ago; there's no evidence to suggest it's an ongoing pattern of behavior—unlike her other patterns of behavior on prominent display here, which add a lot of context to the main topic of discussion here, which is Hoy's interaction with Ghost. In fact, Hoy has explicitly rejected racism against Chinese people in this discussion, a step she wasn't willing to take eight years ago.
Sometimes the compiler is gcc, but the libraries are...some weird hybrid. Texas Instruments RTOS used their own compiler and a strange mashup of C/C++ (xdctools they call it). I don't understand it, it kind of looks like if somebody had been described the original cfront over the telephone. The latest versions are undoing some of that and they even have the option of using a clang compiler, but on their older chips you are stuck with the original weirdness, which basically means you are restricted to C and assembly in a practical sense.
