Anyone else think using the placement rate from the first half of 2020 is a bit cherry picked? That's right when covid hit and hiring froze eveywhere. Yes it picked back up by the end of the year, but in April 2020 I can only assume that the demand for bootcamp graduates was at its lowest. Bluechip companies like Airbnb were reneging on offers to ivy league candidates. It was a unique period in time.

> quantum field theories do not work in curved space-time

In general curved spacetimes. But that includes a lot of obvious unphysicality.

Modelling our universe, QFT in CS (the subject of textbooks, after all, like Birrell and Davies) works just fine away from strong curvature, all of which as far as we can tell is shrouded behind an event horizon or not-practically-observable in the very early universe.

You don't have to take my word for it. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Wald 's first three slides (after the title slide) at http://gravity.psu.edu/events/abhayfest/talks/Wald.pdf )

tl;dr: it is a fine effective theory, but not a good candidate for a fundamental theory.

(Also in your first paragraph you are implicitly carving up spacetime in to space + time, and not taking that into account in what you write about "straight lines". However, you've got one part right namely (paraphrasing the start, up to the second comma, of your parenthetical) the spacetime interval of a null geodesic).

Politicians and the elites and their media mouthpieces can give speeches and write articles to advocate "humanitarian" jingoism, the white savior complex (the NGO/woke/CIA complex) and beat the drums of war (the military industrial complex) that lead to massacres and genocides.

But they should be protected from scrutiny in the digital world?

It is amusing how the elites like to use any ruse to stifle debate and discourse. They advocate these censorious policies while they decry it in Russia and China.
Considering the barrier to entry for these rental companies to fast charge and/or renewables charge (solar?) on-site is far lower than becoming a gas station, I expect this to just be another axis they compete on as things mature.

That should translate into savings and/or warm fuzzies for customers in the long-run, though it may take a minute before we get there.

There was no realistic scenario for rental companies to start competing on this axis with ICEs, petrol is an inherently hazardous chemicals royal PITA.
I'm sure the hundreds of millions of euros this will probably cost ING is the most productive possible use of that capital. A real economic growth driver. If this guy cares so much, he can take his business to a competitor that gets it right.
> I always do cringe when I see a lint rule forcing you to use a spread operator in an array reduce(). It's such a stupid self-inflicted way to turn an O(N) into an O(N^2) while adding GC memory pressure. All to serve some misguided dogma of immutability. I feel there is a need for a corollary to the "premature optimization is the root of all evil" rule.

I think a rule of "don't try to use X as if it was Y" would be reasonable. I love immutability, but the performance cost in JS is really high. Many people are fine with using Typescript to enforce types at compile time and not at runtime. Maybe many people would be fine with enforced immutability at compile time (Elm, Rescript, OCaml, ...) and not runtime?

Actually many Linux drivers are far better than their Windows counterparts - many Windows drivers are complete shit. It is entirely dependant on your particular hardware. I know the driver for my WiFi in my laptop is far crappier in Windows for example.
I disagree. Production is cheap, more so for digital services, you can very well make shit nobody wants and then use advertising and marketing to produce demand.

And of course ‘wanting’ is ambiguous. There is a difference between impulsive desire and a cold-headed need. Heroin users also “want” the drug; gambling addicts “want” the gems in the f2p game’s store; people “want” the fantasy of beauty and success on social media, or fast-fashion’s first impression. People “want” sugar, love, attention, pleasure and safety/security in a way that’s disconnected to their modern actual needs. We are wired a certain way, adapted to natural scarcity and threat, and marketing and sales know this.

The abstraction of rational actors and beneficial, self-regulatory markets are evidently wrong for the most part, as we do know today. Everyone who says otherwise is driven by dogma and ideology, not scientific insights and recognition of our past’s experiments. Advertisement itself should make people question their ideas about the economy.
"Reels users said they sometimes stopped the sessions early, finding it hard to hit the 10 minutes required because the videos were “stale, boring or repetitive,” while TikTok users self-reported using the app for hours a day beyond the study. The Reels users also found that Facebook’s algorithm didn’t stop showing them content they weren’t interested in, and rarely showed videos made by people of color to white viewers."

obvious they can't innovate on their own at this point

The magic keyboard still comes with a USB-A plug. Also, my low profile USB-A Yubikey is still fantastic and there's no viable replacement. It has been 6 years since Apple removed USB-A.

In the transition to USB-C they tried replicate their success killing the floppy. I think we can all agree that they failed.

Just remember Qwest and Joseph Nacchio.

It's entirely plausible he was crooked, but he also claimed the NSA backed out of a deal with Qwest and then the insider trading charges showed up after he refused to comply with their (illegal) requests to spy on their customers.
I really didn't think anyone would have difficulty understanding what was meant here...

Ofcourse the lunch break was ours to do with as we pleased. That wasn't the point.

Rather the point was that no one ever raised any issue with a group of the professional developers playing video games inside the office. And sometimes for longer times than just lunch.

That does speak to the type of people who were managers there. They realized that this was a close group of friends who were honing social and coordination skills that would feed back positively into the team's work.

I advice leaving the snarky tone at the door next time.

> lets me re-skin its UI at will

For me, that wasn't what made plugins great. What made them great was that they were powerful enough that they could be used to fix or work around the various bad functional decisions that Mozilla has long had a habit of making.

When they were neutered and could no longer do that, it made the browser much less attractive.
Linux came into being as a fun hobby project. It was successful because it gained traction with the wider community and got huge commercial backing because it was vastly superior to most of the alternatives from a user perspective ("oh hey, I can run my web servers on this 100% free kernel plus the GNU userland and have a mostly good server for zero software cost on commodity hardware"). But today, Linux itself exists, and while there are underlying technical changes that could improve on it, from an end-user perspective (especially potential commercial backers) anything else would be barely different, if they could tell at all. You'd need some huge compelling advantage - that a user cares about, nicer code and 5 bugs a year instead of 10 bugs a year isn't going to cut it - to actually gain any ground.
Section 230 clarified what networks were allowed to do without needing to overtly moderate the content. Without it, networks are going to figure out different business models because it's not possible to fully moderate a billion people. I keep seeing people compare social media networks to telephone operators, but they're nothing alike, even if you tie yourself into a logical pretzel in an attempt to do so. They're much closer to radio operators.

Could someone sort of ELI5, how is this even possible?
No, it obviously should not be the state that decides something like this. This is journalists' work.

The most difficult part of whistleblowing is proving that any of this stuff is happening. If I started posting on HN about a black market for human baby meat, you probably wouldn't even see it: pg would ban me almost immediately as a troll, and he'd be right to do so. But what if there actually is one?

(and I'm not even really anonymous; if you want to, you can find my real name)

A journalist who knows the real identity of an anonymous informant has the ability to prove that they are who they say they are, and that the stuff they're trying to blow the cover of is actually happening. You don't know the identity of the informant, but there is still a real-world identity and reputation tied to the information, which is at least supposed to mean that if they're full of crap, you don't listen to them next time. There is, simply put, a chain of custody for reliable information.
It's not just lambda. There's another bootcamp, lets call it crap college, which effectively asks their ~~customers~~, sorry, _students_ to work 10+ hours a day 6-7 days a week for months.

If you fail or withdraw, you have to pay back prorated tuition at the rate of several hundred dollars per day you were there. There is no grace period, if you get three days in and decide it's not for you then you owe them almost a thousand dollars.

Ever worse: their instructional material is very much lacking rigor, the degree of guidance they provide is far lower than you'd get at a community college (which would also be a lot cheaper), and the whole vibe of the community borders on cult-like toxic positivity (any criticism of the company will get you kicked out).

It's very close to predatory. They lure in disadvantaged people with promises of vastly improving their lives, but I'm betting a substantial percentage of them leave with thousands in debt and virtually nothing to show for it. And the best part? If you're dismissed or withdraw that nice easy-to-pay income share agreement goes away and you just owe them thousands effective immediately regardless of your financial situation.
>you don't see dozens of submissions from StrongRoads about how terrible bicycles are and how they're responsible for toxic individualism.

I work on a codebase of 16 millions lines of code. In general it's a relatively good codebase, but it's far from perfect. Some things are easy to refactor, so we try to do it. Some other would require big architectural changes. Sure, I would love for the product to be perfect, but perfect evolves with time, and the codebase is 35 years old. You just have to live with imperfect code.

I have a Chuwi LapBook 14.1 which has the N4xxx atom series. It's a similar laptop like this one. It's actually pretty great for light work on the go. It cost me almost nothing (180 euro), has a great IPS display, is 100% silent and runs 7 hours on a battery.

Sure, performance isn't great but it's not terrible ;) It's not my primary laptop of course. I use it in the makerspace, I bought it so I didn't have to worry about blowing up a USB port with an Arduino project or a soldering iron falling on top of it. Neither of which actually happened during the last 4 years but it's the peace of mind that matters.

But that is still memo-ing, just in a different part of the code. And I'm not sure wrapping all components in React.memo is a good practice, otherwise all components would be memo-ed by default. `shouldComponentUpdate` is more explicit
hooks in general are a huge footgun. You need to place them at the preamble of your function (and not nested). They have to be named with "use" prefix (worth mentioning is React basically commandeered the entire "use" namespace for their own purposes via lint enforcement, which will bite you in the ass eventually), and they are poorly designed.

Take useRef for example. You'd logically expect it to work with useEffect and that would be how you use refs in hooks land. But of course, refs are still a design wart on React (they've been through, what, 4 iterations now and they still can't figure out the interface?!). So of course you need to use useCallback. So what is the point of useRef then? I have no idea. The only use I've found is for "instance" variables. Or maybe onClick callbacks that run later. But now you have a ref that only works in some cases and not others. Yay, "composability"

Browse the React docs and you'll find the caveat-to-design ratio is exceedingly high. On any other project you'd assume this is beta or alpha ware.
Yeah my interview questions are more jumping off points to have a conversation. At some point I'd most like the candidate to actively start teaching me something that I didn't know and generally geeking out about something and displaying some skill at getting to the lower levels of problems and its the "off script" discussions which are best. And then just avoid any personality red flags. You can't really cram for that.
This really depends on what you mean by "my traffic"; keeping in mind that your local provider is the ultimate man-in-the-middle.
Security, it is also the reason why typical CVE friendly languages from the NDK are constrained to very specific cases, and Linux syscalls aren't part of Android public APIs.

Yes! It's such a wonderful experience. This is exactly what I most enjoy doing, just seeing how things work, maybe making my own version. I hope you have lots of fun.

Classic sims that build historical worlds, laws of physics strictly enforced
I generally agree with your comments. I did a fair bit of film photography (mostly B&W) decades ago. From digital photography perspective, I'm an average Joe who mostly takes snapshots with smartphone. I just wanted to make a comment about post-processing.

Post-processing with film (ignoring modern-day scanning to digital) historically required one to have a darkroom (and skills) to do the desired post-processing. I did this a lot when I worked for a small town newspaper many years ago. Often, the writers/editors would take photos from whatever events they attended. I'd print a contact sheet for them (after developing the film) and then they'd use a grease pencil to circle the ones they wanted to include for publication. The majority of the prints I made involved doing some combination of cropping, dodging, burning, and enlarger exposure adjustments to make the end result better looking than the original. The writers would often make comments like "Wow, I'm a pretty good photographer!" after seeing the final prints. I would just smile and say "yeah, it turned out good" without mentioning all of the darkroom improvements that were made. All of this to say that historically, the only people that usually had any post-processing of their film photographs were those who had darkrooms or professionals who would have some of their prints air-brushed.

Contrast that with any of the common digital cameras now (including smartphones). Many, if not the vast majority, have built-in capabilities for red-eye removal, adjusting brightness, color correction, cropping, etc. On top of this, the bar is quite low (and tools are plenty) for doing post-processing on the computer. It seems that many (most?) of the serious amateurs and professionals routinely do post-processing of the shots they care about. I would think that post-processing is more common with digital for the serious amateurs and professionals as compared with film (prior to digital scanning), and is now a thing by many (to some extent) of the smartphone casual photographers.

> In its case, the government stated that Nacchio continued to tell Wall Street that Qwest would be able to achieve aggressive revenue targets long after he knew that they could not be achieved.

Lambda School has no business knowing about:

* their students' alimony payments

* their students' other court awards

* their students' pensions

* their students' disability payments

* their students' spouse's income

* their student's spouse's alimony, other court awards, pensions, disability payments, etc.

Agreeing to payment is not the same as agreeing to financial surveillance.

If Lambda School believes one of their students is not living up to their income sharing agreement, then they should simply ask the student. If they have a reason to disbelieve a specific student, then they can go to court.

"Let me see all info on regular deposits into your bank account because I'm too lazy and unprofitable to do this in a way that's not creepy and abusive" is NOT reasonable.
You'd be surprised. I even see my mother in her 70s doing it.

Though of course when she started doing a "computer course" it involved WordPerfect 5.1 :) But things she could do back then like editing a config file would scare her in these days of glossy GUIs but these keys don't.
