Speaking as a Google manager of a reasonably sized org, 25 direct reports is too many. Twice a year you have to do Perf for them, if nothing else, and doing that well for 25 people would likely be the only thing you get done. I think it’d be possible, but it would be at the expense of your own career. “Did Perf for my team of 25” is not a next level accomplishment. “Organized my team so that I didn’t have 25 directs” is much more of an accomplishment (next level or not depends on the level, it’s something my group would evaluate as “meeting expectations” of an L7).

The rule of thumb at Google is 10 directs in an engineering management role, less if you’re a TLM (an IC with some management responsibilities) since you’re still evaluated on the IC ladder. There are exceptions, but they usually involve “managing” a number of contractors where you have significant program management support for coordinating their day to day activities.

I took this course and it really is superb. Josh builds mental models like media queries as IF statements and compares selector specificity to prototypal inheritance. It's mentally really sticky stuff. He also goes in depth into the different layout modes(flow, position, flex, grid) and ensures you know the differences between them, when to use one over the other, in which cases one overrides the other, etc. If when youre building something you go through every combination of flex, grid, & position and not really sure which one is going to get you closer to the layout you want, these exercises will build your confidence. He breaks down lots of edge cases and quirks that go into CSS that Id consider "mastery" level that only someone who dreams in CSS would know off the top of their head.

The Problem with Engineering Cultural Fit Interviews: Stubhub as a Case Study
I don't think you read what I wrote. I never mentioned global warming.

If we continue at current rates of fossil fuel use for another 200 years, the acidification of the ocean will start to endanger phytoplankton, which makes much of the oxygen we breathe. The loss of phytoplankton drove the most serious mass extinction in the Earth's history:

https://earthsky.org/earth/ocean-acidification-drove-earths-...

The article that started this thread on Hacker News suggested that the death rate goes up 10% in the winter, which gives some sense of what the tail risk is from cold weather. By contrast, the tail risk from the acidification of the oceans is something like the Permian/Triassic mass extinction. You ask "How are you so certain to know which tail risk is larger, or likelier?" We can be certain because one risk is many orders of magnitude worse than the other.

you shouldn't isolate yourself based on differences in interests. find something you might possibly find interesting in someone and ask them about that and explore deepening the conversation. friendships are not only about finding "another you" but also discovering people who are different and might expand your perspective

As a regular downloader of BBC Radio podcasts, RSS has been a godsend since they redesigned their site around the godawful "BBC Sounds" mobile style. After the initial pain of tracking down each programme's own site (which contains a link to its RSS feed) and sticking them in Thunderbird, I can now easily download all the podcasts I want even quicker than before the Sounds redesign.

The thing is that Albion alone is also a name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion. Most of the references in the French wikipedia article on Perfidious Albion don't capitalize "Perfidious" either: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfide_Albion.

> It's certainly true that geonyms don't use capitals, in French: you'd say, I think, voitures français whilst we say French cars. (True?)

That's how it works I think (although we would say "voitures françaises" because "une voiture" is feminine but that's a detail).

> If I referenced the Scottish Alliance [with France] (the Auld Alliance) then it's capitalised to show it's a specific reference, not just any old alliance. Bastiat isn't [just] calling Britain perfidious he's referencing a specific term (or I guess he's ignorant and this is a massive coincidence!?).

That's true, but Albion by itself is also a reference, while Alliance by itself is not. For example, we also have the "Triple Alliance", which is another alliance, but we don't have another Albion. The perfidious Albion and Albion both refer to the same thing.

I'm far from being an expert in French though, I'm only a native speaker, so I might be totally wrong about specific points like this.
Assuming you keep a calendar and manage your time, see what time you have available and see what events are going on on your campus. I guarantee there are a ton.

Do you like coffee or tea? There's an okay chance there's a club for that (met many friends and a girlfriend through coffee club).

How about your school's radio station? Wide variety of people and new music (made long lasting friends at mine).

Maybe club sports? They're taken fairly casually (milage my vary) and you're going to be interacting with people the whole time.

I'm sure there are at least a few clubs that you'd be interested in. The thing that makes clubs easy to approach is that they're fairly structured and they're all about getting new members. You can go every week and you know these people share an interest and are open to new people, which is a great starting place.

Good luck with everything. Time management and planning your goals will get you very far in college. Plan to meet people and work it into your schedule in different ways, whether it's a club, chatting with dorm neighbors, or having a study group. I'm sure you'll do fine.
From the website:

> We've been able to achieve sub 20ms latency from UK to Denmark - more than 1000km !

That is pretty good latency for what it does, it's not just ICMP packages but sending/receiving audio and then all that comes with it.

How are you connecting your Quest and PC? Sounds awful, my latency to friends outside the city has a shorter latency than that and they are more than 10km away from me.
So I have actually been in (close to) this situation.

i’ll address a couple of things though… First, since you plug-in every day at home it is very very rare for me to forget. Second, the total available range is still close to my old gas cars which means I need to have forgotten for many days in a row which in the last nine months has never happened.

BUT, I did say that I was low on energy on a day I needed to make a long drive…

Backstory was I was intentionally draining my battery over a period of about a week without charging (trying to recalibrate the gauges... very rare to do).

In the morning on a day I needed to make a three hour round-trip drive I realized I was at 20% power.

So I hightailed it to the nearest Tesla supercharger, plugged in, pulled out my laptop (I'm sitting on a giant battery... powering a MacBook is no issue) to get some work done, and 20 minutes later I was at 80% (enough for 200 miles - or my entire round trip).

So the power issue was caused semi-intentionally and entirely my fault but also it took very little time to solve it. It would be a bigger issue for somebody who isn’t near a supercharger (and no 220 line at home as they'll go 0->full overnight) but again it is very very easy to remember to plug-in at night and many/most people would generally need to forget to charge for at least three or four days before it becomes an issue.

CS SYD – Why mocking is a bad idea
I honestly don't understand all this flowing uphill and flowing downhill talk.
We advance science when we understand stuff. Untill we understand stuff, we
don't have science, we just have stuff. Experimentation can come before or
after, but science is the knowledge that comes with understanding that explains
observations- not the experiments that generate observations.

People could still flow boats before Navier-Stokes? Yes, so people had boats,
i.e. stuff. Now we have Navier-Stokes which is science, not stuff.

Btw, Yan LeCun knows this much better than me, but neural networks are already
ancient. The first "artificial neuron", the Pitts & McCulloch neuron, was
described in 1938. Frank Rosenblatt created his Perceptron in 1958. Kunihiko
Fukishima described the Neocognitron, daddy of the Convolutional Neural Network,
in 1979. Hochreiter and Schmidhuber described Long-Short-Term Memory Networks in
1995. Yan LeCunn himself used CNNs to learn to recognise handwritten digits in
zip codes in 1989.

That's at least 30 years of research on deep neural nets- almost a human
generation. Many of today's postgraduate students studying deep neural nets
weren't even born when all this was being done. If this is just the
experimentation phase before we pass on to the theorising and understanding
phase- when are we going to get to the understanding phase? In 100 years?

Premake: Powerfully Simple Build Configuration
Ah, that's interesting. I'm using a USB audio interface. It claims to be ASIO compatible. Oddly enough I tried the same interface in different computers, and have tried other computers, but haven't dug much further than that. I've also tried all of this on a decent Ubuntu box, and I've now got it running on a Raspberry Pi 3 since the overall latency has been more less the same in all cases.

We're all analog musicians playing alcohol powered instruments. ;-) Some of us are techies, others not. While I'm a techie, that side of my life has always been somewhat separate from the musical side, so I haven't paid that much attention to the digital technology until the pandemic came along. But I'm happy to learn, especially if something simple can make it work better.
A big thing to remember about going to University is in most cases nobody knows anyone, So you are not alone!

You can play with Wifi - it's OK - but you get probably 5-10ms better latency with Wired LAN.
Also I think you have a lower tolerance for latency of your own actions vs the latency of another person's.
As someone who actually purchased FSD and has yet to receive it, it's not a scam. It's just a really hard problem that I think Tesla will solve before anyone else.

About the only thing I could suggest would be to add a checkbox to the submission form that controlled fragment-preserving vs stripping, but you would probably need to add a review queue to double check it wasn't being abused (not that abuse is a particularly attractive target, in this case), and I am unsure whether the minor additional code and UI complexity is worth it vs. the ad-hoc process you have now.

A second possible approach would be to invert that suggestion and simply add a review queue to check whether a removed fragment should have been preserved instead (ordering or filtering the queue by the rank of the submission rather than chronological order, for sanity purposes).

> How can we reverse the trend that a wonderful piece of tech such as RSS is obliterated without any regard to implications?

RSS being killed is a part of the commodification/privatization of knowledge. RSS simply gives users too much freedom.

"What if we thought of some of the most lucrative tech companies as essentially tax collectors, but privately-run (and thus not democratically accountable)? Economists call this rent-seeking, and what we’re seeing with a lot of tech companies is that their telos is little more than “rent-seeking as a service”. It’s basically baked in to their business model. Once you’ve fully developed the technology underpinning your service - be it coordinating food delivery, or processing payments, or displaying intrusive ads to people who just want to read a goddamn page on the Internet without being entreated to buy stuff - then your whole schtick then becomes collecting taxes on a whole ecosystem of economic activity."

The 101 of friendships and relationships in life is a certain ability to (a) Take some risks (b) Take the initiative

Instead of waiting to be invited to something try to invite others. There might be occasions you will be left embarrassed or feel rejected but if you don't try, how will you succeed?

Think of it like childhood: If you're not willing to fall how will you learn to walk? If you're not willing to speak garbled sentences how will you learn to talk?

There are a lot of good tips on this page already. But I will reiterate, make an effort. Put yourself out there a bit.

Also take care of the fundamentals: follow basics rules of decency and etiquette, take care of your hygiene, try to observe how others behave and take the cue accordingly.
Facebook and Google have a long history of illegal activities. If they colluded like a "cartel", they should be treated like a cartel. The problem is both sides of the aisle have are irreparably entangled with big tech and cannot be trusted to prosecute not just fine them a paltry some that is insufficient to correct their behavior. People have gone to jail for weed longer than anyone in power at big tech has paid for their gross violations of trust and privacy of the entire world.

Edit:

The DOJ can raid them, and states attorney's can file separate suits. Perhaps there is one state government that hasn't succumbed to the corruption.
I never said anything about any fairness doctrine. I think we're better off without any open TV networks at all. I'd rather people remained ignorant than serve as pawns in electoral games. That's not even my opinion, it's how the prevailing political ideology of my country describes them. They're "masses" to be "maneuvered" into alignment with the proper ideology. The mass media are the means to do it.

Killing mass media is a favor to these people. They would remain ignorant but at least they would not suffer the indignity of being manipulated, herded like cattle.
Laws are imperfect and often there are situations when applying the law as written / by precedent will ruin person's life in very humanely unjust way. In this case if I was a juror I would say fuck the law and go with the nullification. Unfortunately it does not happen often enough.

Also I think if every law was strictly enforced the functioning of society would stop. This tells something about the whole system. Some fixing is required.
That's why I don't believe those numbers.

That’s overhyped. Keep your foundation clear and dry, and the wildlife will stay in the habitat you create. I live by a forest, and when we moved in the place was surrounded by sterile lawn. We had all sorts of german cockroaches crawling in, mouse damage in the garage, mice hiding in all the outdoor equipment, etc. Since then, I’ve been waging war on the lawn, and despite obvious vole activity in the various mulched areas, the pest situation in the home is better, if anything.
Please comment upon the actual contents of the article rather than the "brand" of the news.
Twitter threads suck so bad from a UX perspective. Long form “article” in a zillion tiny chunks with all the UI control cruft repeated over and over and over and over providing no value whatsoever. An enormous post, page, or article would be so much better. So over threads.
One thing I'd add to the advice given already is to get out and socialize sooner rather than later in your degree. When you are a freshman, everyone is in the same boat as you, trying to piece together a new group of friends. It can seem daunting, but know that you're not in it alone!

After freshman year, you'll still certainly be able to make plenty of friends, but I found that first year to be especially primed for socialization.

As others have mentioned - ask people to hang out outside if class. Get to the clubs you are interested in, even if they aren't full of other CS majors. Look for events sponsored by the school, like concerts or dances or sports games, and try to find folks who are interested in a good time there.

Best of luck to you!

P.s. - where are you going to school? If you feel comfortable sharing, you could potentially get some advice on campus specific activities (if there are any alumni around).
Newspapers also misinform people. The content should be accountable. This accountability should be judged on provable factuality, provable profit, provable misinformation, provable conflicts of interest etc.

The point of regulation is to, ideally, force societal institutions to adhere to set of rules. The point of government should be to make sure these rules are unbiased, based in fact, and equally applied to all sectors of society.

It's a crazy dream. I don't know a single country in the world that gets this right, but certain individual countries get different elements of the equation right, so my hope is not yet in tatters.
> mandatory opt-in

What does this mean? To me, "mandatory" implies compulsory, while "opt-in" implies optional, i.e. not compulsory.
I think your exercise framing is silly but I’ll bite since I’m a programming addict. Writing on my phone so forgive any typos.

function useInterval(cb, ms, deps) {
useEffect(() => {

const id = setInterval(cb, ms)
return () => cancelInterval(id)

}, [ms, …deps])
}

I think this is much nicer than having interval maintenance and prop diffing is didMount, didUpdate, and willUnmount. Certainly it’s easier to get the hooks right (for me) and all the logic ends up in contiguous lines of code. It’s a higher level interface so it takes a bit more practice to apply - feels like Ocaml more than Java.
