* Be cautious of conveniences. That which you depend upon binds you and limits you. Your code cannot execute faster than the layers underneath it.

* Step away from what you know. I spent time running security audits and on a different occasion became the company A/B test engineer.

* I was promoted to senior for doing less work. I would finish the days work in the first two hours of the day and spend the rest of the time writing side projects.

* Learn something foundational. I learned XML Schema and wrote an original markup language before I learned to program. Jumping into JavaScript I already knew all about the DOM better than most JavaScript developers.

* Don’t start your career with an investment of time in frameworks. This makes you a less desirable hire to many shops of variable maturity. If you want to level up you have to be willing to put the pacifier and baby bottle down even if it makes you less attractive at first glance.

There should be a name for the fallacy of expecting people to "vote" with their dollars on every single issue all of the time.

It's like the opposite mistake that communists make. They expect a single centralized decision maker to balance all considerations to set a price, which is inevitably ineffective.

This vote with your dollar argument expects every individual to balance all considerations to set their own personal price. There is an assumption of information symmetry and unlimited ability to analyze on the part of the individuals behind the vote with your feet argument that is just not remotely true.

Not too surprising to me, honestly.

Wealthy Russians and Chinese are hiding their money in the West (UK, US, Canada) precisely for that reason. London (AKA Moscow-on-the-Thames) is famous for happily taking in and protecting that dirty money.

Have you been on a university campus lately? If so, how is this even a question?

Yes. It is the explicit opinion of many activists and the occasionally-spoken opinion of most university administrations and administrators that the point of the university is to effect social justice, and this is done by promoting the left wing and crushing Republicans in any way that it is reasonable to achieve. This has gotten worse in the past 5 years but is only the tail of a long trend dating back decades. The university faculty and administrators unfailingly vote Democrat by massive margins [1]; indeed, educational attainment (ie time spent at university) is a key predictor of politics. They hire accordingly. Public schools in principle must pay homage to the first amendment, but sometimes this is only enforced by lawsuits [2].

Meanwhile Republican idiots in Congress demand that we blow up all institutions of higher education (or at least cut funding and impose ideological tests.)

Welcome to our democracy in 2021 where everyone who matters is a deranged ideologue. Abandon all hope, sir.

Firstly, find a good repository:

* Go to the Issues section which lists your issues, clear the search box;

* Add the search parameter for the label “good first issue” and consider including a language;

* This will list all issues which will match this criteria and from there have a look at the repositories and see which ones seem interesting to you.

* ...

Clever.

Here are the relevant searches:

is:open label:"good first issue"

https://github.com/search?q=is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+...

is:open label:"help wanted"

https://github.com/search?q=is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help%20want...

Searching repos for 'good first issue' is also useful, as it shows projects that help with finding good first issues.

https://github.com/search?q=good+first+issue&type=repositori...

Lots are in early stages or abandoned, but there are good one(s), e.g.

Yeah, I've always loved music and good audio, but I pretty much gave up on the hobby for a decade or two because the main sources of information (i.e. industry magazines) were so absurdly pseudo-science. But, as the grandparent of this post points out, there has been a real renaissance of information and discussion on the internet that isn't bought and paid for by snake oil salesmen and it's the best time ever to get a great audio system for little money.

A bunch of Chinese companies (Topping, etc.) have actually jumped on the objectivist bandwagon are cranking out (relatively) inexpensive DACs, amps, etc. that are world-leading in measured performance (at any price).

Like everything internet, the 'objectivist' audiophile world can be a bit of an echo chamber, but real progress is being made towards non-trivial questions like how one should measure the performance of headphones and speakers, what the ideal actually is, and what deviations from that ideal make the most difference.
I wouldn't view the occult as lesser than "real" science or research. Just because something is not well understood doesn't mean it's false.

Science is great, and I love science, but it paradoxically has a way of limiting our understanding. Things that the scientific method cannot be successfully applied to are immediately written off.

The rejection of anything not deemed scientific is a dogmatizing and close-minded approach to understanding the universe.
And average working people were so well off in the USSR that they never tried to leave, lamented its fall, etc...

/sarcasm

When you write comments like the above it reads like you are unfamiliar with history, with original sources.

My view: all power distribution systems are more or less the same- the people who care about power fight for it, where the in-groups of the winners do quite well, and the people who don't don't and tend to suffer. This is true in the US, in Russia now, in China, you name it.

There are many metrics by which average working people in the US suffer, the US jails dominated by black men who have done nothing wrong are abhorrent and shameful, etc etc etc, but like with many things this is an exercise in least bad.

Many, many systems- including ANY explicitly centralized power structure- are going in the end to be more bad.

The US is remarkably decentralized, and that is its blessing and saving grace, the suffering of those who are not in aside.

In the end, central planning does not survive any good intentions of its originators. Power consolidation becomes the ends of any next generation. And then you think it is bad being alive as an out group in the US? At least they are alive.

I initially got into Houdini as a hobbyist for the possibilities with terrain generation & foliage after seeing a very interesting GDC talk [1] from Ubisoft re: the process for tool assisted level design.

Since then used it a decent bit as an alternate to Blender for hard surface modelling, like the ability to script stuff up fairly easily (to handle a specific need that I can't find an operator for) etc.., granted its not quite as fast as doing things with things like Boxcutter for Blender.

Does this site's comments sections, in general, really merit a self-congratulatory self-post like this?

For every instance of laser-guided micro-moderation, there's a dozen threads filled with reams of inane flamebait / people that merely have no idea what they're talking but sure act like they do. In practice, overall discussion quality across hackernews is no better than the next /r/tech-culture-general.

The only worthwhile comment threads are for links to the most technical/niche topics, where the site's audience has some actual hope of bringing relevant expertise/insight/experience. Those clearly aren't what attracts the majority of commenter activity, though.

This will likely be shadowbanned for whatever inscrutable reason that simultaneously allows all the flamebait by accounts named throwaway20321 though.

I'm a fairly liberal / progressive person today ; I was way more ideologically so in my university days. There were a million and one parties events social groups et cetera that I had no inclination to be a part of. Some didn't interest me, some I dislike, some I vehemently opposed. But you go to university to experience and learn. Get exposed to ideas. We all have to be at least slightly charitable and try to take an invitation in spirit intended. Maybe this guy is a racist supremacist asshole. Maybe he's a nice friendly inclusive conservative chap. Invite was an invite. How far are we trying to right-think university experience? If I attended today I feel I'd be more scared of my liberal colleagues.

I am mildly surprised vegetarians are not the offended parry given references to fried chicken. I wish that were a snarky statement but I'm genuinely waiting for them to join the clamour.
I uses to do that, but now I realize I'm willing to pay for legroom. I still look for low cost, but only after factoring in the legroom.
Same here. It's why I avoided the hobby for years and years.

Those magazines like Stereophile were caught in an unavoidable spiral. They were reliant on advertising dollars from the snake-oil peddlers.

The good news is, you would not be alone in the hobby these days - there's a really robust segment of the hobby who holds that snake oil stuff in utter contempt. AudioScienceReview is a good objectivist community; NYT/Wirecutter's audio coverage is commendably reality-based, and so on.
I find that there are a couple of problems with vote-mute:

- the damage has already been done before the vote gets called, and often the mute only applies to subsequent communications, so the initial abusive message still appears in the chat window.

- it requires collaboration to solve the problem, when your team is likely too busy playing the game, or don't feel as strongly as you do about the comment that was made.
What are your thoughts on the wealth distribution in Babylon between Hammurabi and his subjects? His reign was around 1700 BCE.
That paper by Daugman was the basis for my undergrad thesis, so when I saw the title, that's what my mind immediately jumped to! Lo and behold, I open the comments and find a link to the paper. Not only that, but it's still stored on my old professor's website (~az = Andrew Zisserman)!
No, I don’t think you understand the terminology.

Feed forward NN means a NN without loops. Back propagation is a method of generating a new NN that only works on a subset of NN.

Some of the scams are still ongoing, to boot.
It's a cat-and-mouse game, where the mice basically have infinite time to spend on anti-anti-cheat... and dare I say it, countless young people probably got their head start in learning about computers, programming, reverse-engineering, etc. by playing this "meta-game". I know some people who were otherwise completely uninterested in the typical STEM courses at school, but highly skilled at the sort of low-level knowledge required to defeat anti-cheat systems, and thus started their career in software development.
Yes. Cryptography I only covered in uni, and while it's an interesting domain, its not for me.
If it was easy to fix they probably wouldn't need saving. Chances are others have already tried and failed, or even they themselves tried and gave up. Sometimes you can do something, but most of the time the best you can do is accept it and treat them like normal to ensure they know they have something to come back to. Sometimes all they need is for you to be a stable cliff they can use to climb back up, and you trying to move and help them just makes them fall back down.
Are there lots of articles that describe zero-days but don't include the actual term "zero-day"? I may have been underestimating the state of journalism...

>Like most children, I was invincible.

No, like most children you knew. The quiet or more risk averse ones weren't out tearing shit up like we were.

Besides, lets get back to brass tacks here. Currently your argument is that bike safety isn't important because kids feel invulnerable, which is sort of untenable. Road safety is important, and to get back to TFA, I think its important that when describing collisions between bikes and cars some of the onus is placed on the person piloting the car. I find it suspicious that there is a concerted lack of transparency in this regard.
I think you're being a bit unfair. He did win an Olivier, after all... twice.
I'm no healthcare forecaster, but if the pay for new work is currently 3x and the state isn't doing much to improve conditions, in 30 days there's likely to still be a lot of demand for new work.

If I were a nurse, I think I'd have a hard time with sense of duty and sitting out, so a one month traveling job in another state (if possible, one that's doing better at vaccination) for a few weeks would feel better than sitting around, but at the same time, when the government incentives say to sit around for 30 days if you want to get paid more, who am I to not follow incentives.

It seems like removing incentive beyond trolling is the best solution. Whose spinning up a cluster of bots if you can’t level up and sell digital loot? Market places for digital items has to be the dumbest thing ever in gaming. CS 1.6 was fun and the only thing you could customize was your graffiti spray, and there wasn’t a marketplace for them. You just added an image you liked.
Hypothetically, if the computer could try both of these experiments at no cost to you, and tell you whether it improved things or not, does asking whether wavelets are appropriate for the domain even matter?

Vibes: Filtering Sound for Those Who Can't
My daily driver is Qubes and it feels like home. I feel safe and respected.

The true pure faith requires compromises sometimes - when I need to run non-free software for work, I can keep it in a Qube VM and know it can’t mess anything else up. I trust Qubes to be reliable in a way I can’t ever remember experiencing with more traditional operating systems.

There’s a learning curve but I feel like I’m living (at least partially) in the promised land.

The cavalier dumping of waste into lakes and rivers is wild to think about. I was recently reading about various mid-century plans to dam or widen the Bering strait in order to intentionally melt the Arctic. It’s astonishing how humanity viewed and treated our ecosystem so recently in our history.
> if both management and the union say there wasn't a job action, there probably wasn't.

This is just making an uninformed opinion based on the apparent factional interests of an organization.

Both can have an interest of denying it. For example, management don't want to scare off investors and stocks to go down and it is not in the interest of the union legally to admit that it initiated such a collective action, especially while they are in court for a case relating vaccine mandates.

It is also fair to doubt what is officially said given deceptive claims that the weather caused them to stay grounded even if it didn't affect other airlines and that airliners fly above most adverse weather conditions.
That’s kinda the point? Anti-cheat systems, DRM, and consoles are a way for software publishers to extend their trust boundary to your computer. You’re effectively lending out your hardware as edge computing to run the publisher’s software (i.e. the game or video player) in a way they can be reasonably sure it’s running unmodified.

I actually find this to be pretty darn reasonable.
Maybe there's hesitancy because the mRNA vaccine is relatively untested compared to all those other vaccines that were mandated.

And American Airlines is also mass-cancelling and delaying an unusual percentage of flights. Damn, the asymptomatic weather is getting worse and worse.

I run into this conflict. Many like to regard themselves as sovereign agents who can make informed decisions for themselves. This is the ideal, and I can argue on behalf of it.

Of course, reality doesn't check out that way and the record shows it. This doesn't stop people from getting upset should you imply that they are not equipped to sensibly make their own decisions.

We are strongly encouraged to make terrible decisions all the time, and there's a lot of money behind it, from many actors.
That sounds...good!
I've been a silver shitter since the Gaussian normalization of the ranks. I used to be MR2 back in the day. It doesn't (or maybe it does?) help that even the worst players are better than the average player 5 years ago. I think the trust factor walled garden is something special. Be polite for a long time and be rewarded with other polite players who don't cheat. My silver matches are great. People communicate, people play strats, no one knows smokes or can react sub 150 ms or snap headshots. I work a day job and have a home to maintain (not a house, I'm not rich), SO, and pet to take care of on top of other hobbies. Silver these days is not for losers.
