As unique as it is, there is another restoration video of the IBM Cheese Cutter : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plOPh_UygJ8

I searched the Youtube because I wanted to share the video with my farmers market 'cheese guy'.
You can try building similar sites as much as you want, you won't get to that level. It's about timing, marketing, etc not just building something and done.
I mean “tech position” is extremely vague here if you’re going to make them code because what you actually need is an engineer then yeah I would prefer the leetcoder too but if you’re going to build a team and put processes in place then I’d go for the CTO. I think it all depends on the position specifics. Generally speaking tho the CTO interview is VERY different than a typical engineer or senior engineer.
That’s an organisational problem, not Kubernetes problem.
Just a comment about pronunciation of these abbreviations. If it can be said like a normal word it usually is, so likely people will just say "omega". AMPA is also pronounced, while NMDA is spelled out in speech "... the En Em Dee Ayy receptor complex..."
Until recently. Advertising virtually completely dried up during the initial Covid shutdowns. It emerged that the Chicago Tribune wasn't even paying rent.

There is by definition almost always a party holding a relative majority (more seats than any other party), which the CDU did for the longest time.

You are correct that they did not hold an absolute majority (more seats than everybody else combined), ensuring that they always had to form a coalition to achieve that.
Ask HN: Does anyone else use a 32 bit computer regularly?
My primary computer was 32 bit x86 until last year. I still use it often, but more and more software is dropping support.

Have you looked up the profiles of the individuals who messaged you on LinkedIn?

It’s pretty easy to distinguish a serious player versus a Bozo.

The “retained” headhunters are usually interesting. These are true hired guns.

Essentially, you’ll want to deal with the individuals who have done their 10,000+ hours in this space.

Have the recruiter prove back their interest in you. Ask them to send a detailed position summary, including the compensation package.

The quality of their written response should tell you everything.
There are some major cultural issues:

Everything shuts down at 5pm and people move back to the suburbs after work. It's fairly dead downtown after rush hour. Finding a coffee shop open at 8 or 9pm? Very few of them.

Art isn't a priority here. Public art installations are ridiculed as a waste of money (though some are accepted over time). Museums and galleries here are minimal.

Music is sterile and many groups skip playing in Alberta. It has gotten better, but Alberta had a reputation for chasing away "immoral" acts in the 90s and 2000s.

Politics are toxic. The current government was elected under a cloud of electoral fraud, does not play well with the opposition and is laser-focused on oil and gas.

Alberta is designed for cars and public transit is a bolt-on, expensive afterthought. This isn't unique to Alberta but it doesn't help. We do have a growing set of bike lanes and support for that has surprised me pleasantly.

Alberta is rich from oil money and if you're in that club, life is good. If not, you're not important to the conversation.

I was lucky to spend a lot of time travelling to the Bay Area, Seattle and other places to see what culture a town could bring beyond "being close to the mountains". I really wish this place would focus on it, but at times it feels like the province is allergic and negatively responds to having any sort of culture.
Rails uses Ruby in a way that is defeats virtually
all best practices to produce a JIT-friendly code.

I've seen this mentioned a lot, and certainly the history of compiled Ruby + Rails benchmarks indicates this is true.

However, I've never quite understood -- why exactly is this the case?

Is it just the sheer size of Rails? Or is it (ab)using Ruby in weird ways?

edit:

This is the more or less definitive answer, I guess, though it's a bit over my head!

This is just not an option for so many very legitimate use cases. Building client-side apps that aggregate and display information from multiple web services hosting on domains totally outside of my control is valuable.
Sure, in that sense, how anybody could consider his case replicable? additionally, each job post cost 600 bucks, unbelievable
Personally I don’t like the syntax of crystal or nim.

As for Zig I’ve used it (I rewrote the xv6 user space programs in it, and plan to rewrite the rest of the kernel in it one day) but for day to day I don’t want to manage memory.

I like D because it’s a blend of high level and low level. It’s natively compiled and if GC becomes a problem I can just turn it off in critical sections instead of playing with C FFI shenanigans.

It’s an extremely ergonomic language with amazing metaprogramming and error handling (unlike Go).

It gives me full control of memory and the cpu via pointers, scoped allocations, and in-line assembly if I need it. Which results in a light weight binary and low memory usage (unlike Java and C#).
The author argues that the non-SPA approach deals better with that kind of management than SPA does.

I would also be interested to hear.

I'm using Fedora on my personal hardware where I don't remember encountering much (Linux-supported) software that wouldn't work. I had to tweak something to get e.g. the native Spotify client working, and it would probably have been easier on Ubuntu for which it's packaged, but problems are relatively few and far between.

On the other hand, in the workplace I've only had Windows in recent years, so it'd be nice to know if there are blind spots in work-oriented software that I've missed.
I've run into so many issues with Nomad that it really doesn't make sense to compare the two. Many are well documented in Github issues and occur when utilizing other Hashicorp products.
What about Void? It even used LibreSSL out of the box for a while.
Have you considered that maybe the only path to victory for Buddhism is by being flexible enough to rise above the bollucks?

I'm not a Buddhist, but in its atheist forms (which aren't only Western) it seems like it's close enough to reality.

If my choice is between abandoning religion entirely (because I'm a pedant who spends all my time with computers that won't accept anything unless it's technically correct), or having a think about it because you abandoned the literal truth of your literal texts in favour of some useful metaphors, then maybe I'll think about it?

This is my counter-offer to Pascal's wager.
I will note that the name is the "(IBM) (computing cheese cutter)", a computing cheese cutter being a device like this, not an "(IBM computing) (cheese cutter)", which is how i originally parsed it.
I think engineers gonna engineer though, even if it's subconsciously or small stuff, hell it might be half the fun.

You could ask me to build a project with no trade offs regarding time to deliver, it's still not going to be in one single file, primarily because it's one of many "quick wins".
A BD is still hotter than background temp, so you could maybe see faint IR, and you could initially find it as a result of its mass if there are nearby objects orbiting (although now less illuminated), or simply transitioning in front of other stars (I guess that's how they find wandering planets?).

Alternatively, map all the white dwarves, then wait long enough, then look again..
Thanks for this! I didn’t even know it existed. I’ve been frustrated that I can’t add my kids to YT premium since their emails are at my custom domain hosted by g-suite. This feature is worth the hassle of setting up gmail accounts and figuring out whitelisting. They have just been sticking to “approved” channels on the honor system which works pretty well, but it’s not perfect.

What was wrong with ECS Fargate if you don't mind me asking? Too expensive? Too vendor locked-in?
Carp is statically-typed with type inference so writing (the Int x) would be enough for the compiler to forbid any usage of x as another type. Writing (Int.+ x 1) would accomplish the same as Int.+ only accepts Int.

You can also annotate function with a type signature.

(sig add (Fn [Int Int] Int))
(defn add [x y] (+ x y))

Is the same as:

(defn add [x y] (the Int (+ (the Int x) (the Int y))))
I'm glad to see it because despite Rusts hype and popularity on HN I love to write C++ and I am even starting new projects in it occasionally. I have read many times that I should be starting new projects in Rust these days. The last project I started was a 128-bit assembler for RISC-V of all things, in modern C++. I understand that certain languages are better suited to certain things, however I feel like I am solving problems in C++ the way that I want to, I guess, in a very opinionated way. And I don't like to compromise on the design. It's not even about performance, even though C++ is very clearly the king.

That said, I am happy that we have a plurality of languages to choose from, and that they are all popular, relative to each other.
A lot of research has been done on how the recession stunted career growth for anyone who graduated into it. Effectively anyone who graduated during it got passed over for the people who did graduated right after it. Leaving the people who graduated during it in underemployment and unable to move on because companies were more willing to hire people who were fresh graduates than people who were underemployed.

So yes, actually... in hind sight I should have gotten my Masters degree instead of entering the workforce.

Edit: That job I stayed at too long... only reason I took it in the first place was because the recession left me almost no choices. No one was hiring in Boston. The job boards were empty for someone right out of college.
That's a nice looking dead end, because your subjectivity biases you. Instead, step outside your own consciousness.

Based on objective observation, you are dynamic and reactive, steel is static and mostly unreactive. Beyond that, you might as well be the same. You claim to experience your existence, but what evidence do you have? And what evidence do you have that a bar of steel doesn't experience something of some sort?
Conversely, I would say you’re defining marketing so narrowly that you’re actually just talking about advertising.

But I agree, it sounds like we’re just arguing semantics at this point and have reached the logical end point of all internet debate
Dialpad (https://www.dialpad.com/) has this feature. Not as a pie chart (last I checked), but at the end of a call, they'll show you a summary of the call with the speaking time of each participant.
Earlier this year, the feds signed an agreement that let Boeing executives off the hook for the 737 MAX catastrophes, which killed 346 people.

The lead prosecutor, Erin Nealy Cox, then took a job with the firm that leads Boeing's criminal defense.
This is another great example (even an extreme one) that in software, a small team can build great things. But it's a good thing for society that most companies are not like this. Otherwise, many of us won't have jobs.
Even maintaining our current co2 levels would be pretty amazing. And that could be much cheaper.

> If once you find the information on page 346, you then keep flipping and looking at people's private information on the next hundred pages like the OP did, you have now committed a crime.

I agree that morally, the guy should certainly not have continued to look through what he knew was private information he wasn't meant to have access to. I'm not sure the law sees a difference between looking at pages 347-350 and and looking at page 346 however.
It's not fears, it's the fact that the system is used for tracking people and the Facepay capability looks like a simple cover for the true purpose of the system: massive scale surveillance. The authorities claim that they have apprehended more than 900 suspected criminals since the last September with the system help. You can imagine how easy it would be to add additional "features", if they are not in operation already.
People have already been arrested after this winter's protests with the help of facial recognition, so these fears are a bit late. Also, just a couple of days ago it's been announced that local Moscow officials turned over all photos uploaded to the city's portal to law enforcement to be used for this.

Thanks for sharing the info about the Open-Meteo APIs.

As you mentioned PostgreSQL I thought I'd share that maybe between PostGIS and TimescaleDB extensions you might get much closer to a relational database that overcomes some of those drawbacks you list.

Transparency: I work for Timescale. There's lots of no-charge resources if you did want to explore, and the software itself is offered under a Community license (free software, open code).

Hey HN!

Sometimes I come across a gold mine of a blog, and don't know where to start reading. I wonder how many such blog posts I never hear about. Everyone has too much to read - but it's about things you don't want to miss, not which are useful. Conversely, finding thoughtful essays on a specific topic is hard. Social platforms will serve you the latest, not the most relevant information [1]. Your best bet is to ask good friends.

What this blog search does differently:

* Indexing only high-quality blog posts [2], to avoid SEO hacking and noisy news. It favours articles that are years old.

* Showing Twitter conversations for each article [3], and ranking search results based on them. I find that this gives a pretty good idea whether something is useful to spend time on.

The site is similar to the text-heavy search that got popular here month [4], but for thoughts and ideas rather than factual information.

The main challenge I see is that people rarely search for ideas on a specific topic. Random discovery of new things is appealing, otherwise you want quick answers. This experiment challenges that habit. I would love to hear what you think!

[1] I believe our entire obsession with new things online is unhealthy. An article from 10 years ago really isn't that old, and probably more true or obviously false than ever (Lindy Effect). See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28616134

[2] I manually added the most-upvoted blogs mentioned on HN, so it's very focused on startups and tech.

[3] Hacker News comments are more thoughtful, but take too long to skim and are often off-topic.

Perhaps the OP meant "nigh", which is archaic, and means the same as "near".

Even then, "nigh beneficial owner" and "near beneficial owner" are awkward constructions that would have broken the continuity of my reading comprehension.

But surely one is or is not a "beneficial owner". Being nearly a beneficial owner is the same as not being a beneficial owner at all.
Amateur journalism has been tried, repeatedly. It's not an unknown or unproven concept.

It sounds like this violates conservation of energy then?

Couldn’t you then burn the carbon and oxygen you created to get out more lower than you put in?
> Schwalbe (garbage).

I have never read these two words in the same sentence. I've put thousands upon thousands of miles on my Schwalbe Marathons with nary a flat. Granted, nothing is 100%, but I find Schwalbe's a solid urban/touring choice.
And besides - a proper wizard would be immortal.
This is something that I'm worry about: It forces Emscripten builds to be created differently in the way the build artifacts will be compatible only with that version of V8 - in practice it means a dead feature that looks nice, but we can't use for a long long time.
There is a very fruitful line in philosophy of mind and language that addresses the colour qualia question: anti-cartesianism and anti-skepticism.

Wittgenstein's arguments on seeing-as is the best example of this line. He argues, quite convincingly I think, that a lot of the kind of skepticism, of a cartesian sort, implicit in the colour qualia question arises out of conceptual confusions in language. The goal isn't to solve the debate, or directly refute it per se, but to dissolve the entire conceptual confusion upon which it relies by making clear how it is essentially a house-of-cards.

For instance, we know that humans have a relatively uniform perceptual landscape. Physiological realities in the eye limit the variations in human visual perception to a certain set wavelength band. With all the correct parts working correctly, we see and we all see in relatively the same way. We don't see our seeing. We don't perceive our perceptual experience from the inside out. We see. The variations in "what people see" are more in language, which is to say that people report seeing different things. As Wittgenstein would put it, we often "see-as" just as much as we "see-that", which are ways of "seeing" that intersect and mix in language.

Colour is interesting because in our language it is heavily dependent on ostensive definitions, which is the linguistic way of saying colour is reliant on pointing at examples. Often quite literally pointing with your hand, or directing someone to look at something in particular. So if there is a red car in front of you and both people say the car is "red" then they are seeing the same red because the colour is not the result of empirical validation of an internal private perceptual experience, but because the colour is in language. They are reporting the same colour.

Viewed in this line, the colour qualia question essentially dissolves away as irrelevant.
We agree re: small groups with good ties. And I kinda think if we go down we're going down together. But not relying on others as much as practical could still be useful, even if it's as simple as "my farmer got covid" or "floods washed out the bridge".
> Have you considered that maybe the only path to victory for Buddhism is by being flexible enough to rise above the bollucks?

If it were true that such flexibility in doctrine were necessary for liberation, the Buddha would have taught it.

I'm not interested in convincing you to take up Buddhism at all. You can if you want, it would be good for you, but I fundamentally don't care. The thing I do care about, is if you're gonna do it, don't go out and start pretending that Buddhism is something that it really isn't, especially if you have not done much research into it.

Personally, I would prefer you don't get involved in Buddhism at all rather than try and draw some narrow metaphors out of Buddhist texts for use in your secular life.
Calling working as a PA "doomed" is probably the most offensive thing said yet in this thread.
Nice to read something that made me laugh out loud.

Pro tech work really is 80% coordinating people (quashing jerks, dealing with drama, etc: “don’t leave the new guy alone with the CTO”) and 20% funtimes-computer-stuff.

It might not seem like that in terms of wallclock time, but it sure feels like it in terms of energy spent.
I agree. Chiang should fight the Japanese and win the war. Look how silly he was.
That sounds like a perpetual motion machine. What am I missing?

A few AOT attempts as well, including mine (I've hardly touched mine in the last couple of years, but I have a bunch of GC improvements that haven't been pushed to GitHub that brings it close to self-compiling, but still huge gaps - e.g. no float or regex support, no exceptions)
> All I can hope for is to become happy with a life that now tortures me. One that cages me, pens me in, puts up walls all around me. One that makes me smaller, misshapen, that boxes my heart and spirit inside of me. But that’s no hope at all, no challenge at all. As if one could say, “You will be enslaved from now on with no chance of escape. Your owner will use your wife and daughters as he pleases, for his pleasure. If you do not work you will be whipped and tortured and it will be the same for your family. Your hope in life, and your challenge, is to become happy with this.”
Do you have any information to state otherwise? Giving What We Can stopped doing research on charities about 5 years ago, so now it's nothing more than an advertisement.
I think the other approach is to have more corporate whistle blower programs with teeth and upside. In a case like this, lots of people knew everything wasn't on the up and up. But it is hard to get someone to understand something when their job depends on not understanding it (Upton Sinclair). However, if the whistle blower programs came with immediate cash (after initial proof was obtained) with more to come and potentially relocation and identity change, people would be more likely to come forward.

Fighting something like this in court plus media scrutiny will basically ruin someone's life and make them almost unhire-able in their field. Excepting someone to ruin their family's life for the greater good isn't likely. There won't always be a young single ideologue who is willing to move overseas to escape his own government. There are lots of major crime systems where someone is the spouse of the criminal and knows what is going on but how are they going to give up their home and life for their kids while also putting their life at risk for the sake of doing the right thing. People have shown that they will do the right thing if you make it easy enough and safe enough.
We are talking about what happened in 1945-1949 and how communist won the civil war started from obviously the much weaker side. Do you think the people in China at that time believed both parties are corrupted and they just wanted to change? (It feels like same question how Trump won! Lol)

US helped Mao’s CCP at propaganda level at the best. I know CCP is a hell but you have to admit Chinese people landslide-ly chose CCP over national party in those years.

Again how CCP won? It’s a complicated matter that I don’t see any good explanation from “subjective” western history book

I'd be OK if it was at the bottom of the article. And make sure the year is there, too. I've seen far too many blog skins that only show "Oct 15" (for example) but no year anywhere.
