I think you have it right. I study for a lot of certification exams (They are very popular in networking and security), I've found that a lot of content around learning has moved to videos rather than "exam guides" produced by the vendor/company offering the video. It could be styles of learning thing but I much prefer the written content.

It strikes me that one advantage of the written word is that the information density is so much higher than in other mediums. I generally watch the videos at 2x speed and still feel like I'm not learning as much when I read for an equivalent time.

However your point about "what" you read is well taken. Just as in watching youtube or movies you can read trash just as you can watch trash.

I don't know the answers to your questions, but parthenogenesis is confirmed to happen in other organisms. So I presume it could follow an analogous mechanism with condors.
Fable | Product, People, Engineering | Full-time | Remote

Motion is everywhere: A GIF on Instagram, a video on YouTube, an animation on a website, or even a Netflix documentary. Yet! Moving content is super hard to create because while current software is powerful it's also intimidating for most creators to get started.

Fable (http://fable.app/) combines the power of Adobe with the accessibility of Figma and makes motion collaborative for teams–right in the browser. There's no software to install, it's made for designers, and it all runs in the cloud. In this new frontier of web-based software, we believe motion is the big missing piece.

ProcedureFlow | Frontend Developer (React), Full Stack .NET Developer | REMOTE in Eastern Canada | Full-Time | https://procedureflow.com

ProcedureFlow is a platform for your company's procedures inspired by the way you work. We're like GitHub but for visual procedures. We have change requests, everyone can have a "draft" branch, a side-by-side diff view of the flows, etc.

ProcedureFlow has great customers that consider us vital to their business. We have ambitious goals and need your help. We've grown 600% in the last 4 years, we've more than doubled our revenue and staff in the last year, and we recently raised $2.9 million in Series A funding.

Top 3 complex problems we're working on solving:

1. GitHub for visual procedures; versioning a knowledge graph.
2. Adding a public API for flows, event data, and critical features like SCIM.
3. Bridging the gap between documentation, execution, maintenance, and insight of a process.

Our technology stack includes: React, C#, Postgres, Redis, Node, Terraform and AWS.

We're looking for someone who has:

• Experience building cloud-based web apps in C#/React.
• Experience as a generalist working on both the frontend, backend, and anything it takes to solve problems and delight users.
• Pride in working on projects to successful completion involving a wide variety of technologies and systems.
• The ability to stitch together many different services and processes together even if they have not worked with them before.
• Empathy with their users and are stewards of crafting great experiences.
• Skills for upholding best practices in engineering, security, and design.

We try to make our technical interview process very practical and fair. We want to understand your skills and get a sense of what it's like to work together. For example, we don't use LeetCode, whiteboarding, ask you to recite an algorithms, etc.

Interested? Send us your resume, GitHub profile, or anything you'd like to showcase: https://jobs.procedureflow.com/o/senior-full-stack-developer...

I'm a co-founder and the VP of Engineering. Happy to answer any questions!
Modern lightbulbs use thinner filaments that are substantially more efficient than the thick one used in this bulb, but they don't last as long. Further, this particular bulb never gets turn off and back on again which I'm led to believe causes wear.

If it were turned off and back on it would likely be fine.

Always a fun segue into the Phoebus Cartel [1] which pushed for shorter lifespans for bulbs - including by mandating thinner filaments. They did it to keep people on the treadmill but it was actually a substantial improvement in energy efficiency.

The mechanisms of parthonenogensis aren't fully characterized, but at a high level, it occurs in a secondary oocyte during meiosis II -- the oocyte only starts out with a Z or W chromosome.

It's perhaps best shown in this figure:

It depends on how Title law works in the jurisdiction.

It's one reason in the US that most property sales include a purchase of title insurance.

Somewhat. In both cases, females were able to self-reproduce. In the film, females switched to male to fertilize. In the condors case, eggs developed without fertilization from males who were available.
Merit America | Software Engineer, Growth & Admissions | Remote (US) | Full-time | https://www.meritamerica.org/

Merit America is a non-profit that has been named by the New York Times as “a glimpse of the hybrid future of training programs for the disadvantaged.” We want to build the most effective large-scale education-to-employment program in the country by helping Americans without Bachelor's degrees land jobs in tech.

We're looking for an engineer to join our growth and admissions team. This role will engineer growth experiments and build out tools to help our team handle tens of thousands of applicants this year (and hundreds of thousands next year). We're looking for someone with experience rapidly building for the web, who has an interest in user acquisition. This is the first engineer at Merit America — you’ll have a lot of autonomy and freedom over the tools/languages used, and a lot of growth opportunities.

We're a small team that cares a lot about making a positive impact. At Merit, you'll experience the best of start-ups and nonprofits: we move fast, but we also have work-life balance while help thousands of un/underemployed Americans build upwardly-mobile careers.

Challenge for the HN crowd: talk to the voice in your head for 5 min
Here's some extra info about us:

ProcedureFlow is not your typical flowchart tool. We took the good parts, like the visual map, and fixed all the bad things:

• The "editing" experience is secondary. Viewing and navigating the flows is the priority.
• We democratize your company's procedures. The flows are meant to be used and improved by everyone at your company.
• We only have so many shapes that can be added. You don't just drag/drop a "rectangle" and make it purple. You add an "action" shape that has semantics.
• We recommend making smaller flows and linking them together rather than one big flowchart understood by a few people.

We offer:

• Autonomous remote work and working with a great team.
• Stock options signing bonus. Topped off based on individual/company performance and each funding round.
• Vacation: 3 weeks to start. We're very flexible with additional time off (errands, family time, appointments, etc).
• RRSP matching up to 4%.
• Good health coverage.
• Good work life balance. We don’t crunch or work regular overtime – deadlines are owned by us. Rare overtime like after hours maintenance means compensated time off.
• An opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a fast growing Canadian startup. You’ll be very key to our success -- helping us grow the team into a well-oiled machine. Being an early employee means you have the possibility to grow into larger roles as the company grows (engineering IC, management, specialization, etc).
I know it shouldn't matter on a practical level, but I love apple product boxes.

For smaller devices I'll even use them as drawer organizers. They're so rugged!

> The proposed law change will shift the focus on to the “harmful effect” of a message rather than if it contains “indecent” or “grossly offensive” content, which is the present basis for assessing its criminality.

I'm feeling very harmed after reading your comment. I realize the content's of your message are objectively harmless, but I "feel" harmed. So...off to jail you go.

---

But on a more serious note. Like you said I it's insane that we have come to the point where what you actually say, you intentions, are completely irrelevant, it's all about how your message is perceived. What are the guardrails here?

Harmful effect can be anything. I could plagiarize the top ShowHN post from yesterday, post it here and get called out. Then try to get all the commenters prosecuted because my feelings were hurt? Is this seriously how this law works?

Hell an even more extreme example could be "hey it's really nice and sunny outside today", and someone will comment "I identify as darkness, this is hurtful to my people". Am I headed to the slammer for saying that the weather was nice?
We don’t do that here.
Public education institutions are potentially the most politicized arenas in our nation today.

Especially K-12 education, where you have to somehow bridge a new chasm between insane ideologies while also keeping a classroom full children working "productively" towards pointless standardized testing objectives. All of this despite most of their dopamine loops being totally burned out from hours of smartphone use before they even get to school.

The whole education system is heading towards "totally fucked". This UF politics issue is just 1% of the puzzle behind why everything sucks so hard now. If you personally know any teachers working in K12, lend them your ear. You would be surprised how many people are internalizing the problems and don't even know who to talk to about it anymore. The rest have succumbed to apathy or new careers.
That's more pass-by-reference, right? Which can be used to set things in the calling context, to be sure, but seems meaningfully different from "run this code N frames up", partly because it is limited in what it can do and partly because it can only change variables that you are actually mentioning in what you pass in.

(... unless I miss something.)

Same here. We completed over the summer and even had to provide our marriage certificate to the bank (no idea why, are single people not allowed mortgages?). Sounds very much like the conveyancers (lawyers) screwed up massively. There still some bits of this story I don't understand. Like, how did the fraudster get access to the house in the first place? Did he break in then fix the damage and replace the locks so he had a set of keys to give to the "buyer"?
They reported nothing untoward.

Unless you have access to secret information and are for some reason burning your life down on HN, you have no idea what they found or didn’t find.
I see this C++ coroutines thing as a desperate cry for real AST macros, but the godawful syntax of c++ just can't really make that work. And besides, people would complain even more if everyone made their own version of coroutines.

Maybe it would be possible to make a s-expression language with sane syntax that transpiled to C++ code and let you do arbitrary compile-time AST macros. You wouldn't have to rely on Turing-complete template insanity or whatever half-baked feature the committee shat out last. In principle it wouldn't even be that difficult to make something like this, since it wouldn't have to be an actual lisp. Might be an interesting project
Well, the interviewer did not complain about getting answer partially wrong, they complained about getting a blank stare back. The interviews are not like school exams, they are not graded by the number of exactly correct answer.

I don't remember what each letter of acronym means either. But if I was interviewee in this situation, I'd just start talking about transactions from user perspective -- how they either completeley pass or completely fail, and how even with power failure, you are not going to see partial data.

If I were interviewer, I'd accept this answer. No one cares about hearing exact words (0), "user will never see only a part of transaction" is good enough even if person never said the word "atomicity"

(0) According to some sources, Google runs scripted interviews where interviewer is non-technical, and grades answers against a checklist.
I'd go even further and say most western countries, because I think the US and EU are headed in a similar direction.

My guess is that they see trouble ahead and want to get a firmer grip on power, so they're trying to get the kid gloves off as stealthily as possible. If they could, they'd go full CCP before you can say "communo-fascism", but they can't, because then they'd have to deal with too much push back at once.
Install in context of library package manager doesn't necessarily mean install to operating system. It can be just caching it somewhere in your home directory.
Like the other commenter said, I guess it really depends on who you are and what type of business you're building. Personally, with the benefit of hindsight, I'm almost certain if my startup made it to YC (we failed at the interview stage many years ago), it would have ruined both the startup (at least the product at the time) and our personal lives. We were too "green", too different culturally, in an industry that moves too slow. Going the "European" VC speed really helped us get to a healthier business and product foundation, but it took many years.
To paraphrase my original statement, it's like winning the opportunity lotto, but opportunity isn't success. You get a lot of great opportunities handed to you, but you still have to know how to take advantage of them, and they might not be the type of opportunities you want.
> This would require years, maybe even decades of study. Apple can't just flip a switch and do this.

Point taken, but I think that's why I phrased it as a "what if?" Because if they could, it would be one of the most sought-after health products on the market.

> This exists. Until recently I lived in a city where this was possible, but my GP wasn't on the list. You can see a list in the Health app.

Yes, the list seems to be mostly hospitals and labs. The next time I get lab work I'll certainly try to synchronize it.

What I really want is for my GP to have a high-level view of some of my habits. Why is my GP asking me, "are you exercising regularly?" What is regularly? I want him to tell me "I see you're doing lots of strength training but not very much cardio, you may want to work that in to your routine." The data is there, and my doctor could probably pull better insights from it than I could give him verbally.

So if Apple could solve this for many incompatible systems, I think it would be very popular both for doctor's offices and their patients.
Scale makes a whole lot of difference. Even the Stasi, the KGB, or the FBI had to restrict such monitoring to the small fraction of the population they actually suspected. Now they don't only suspect everyone, they also have the tools to monitor everyone.

It's the difference between being able to point a gun at a few inconvenient people, and being able to point it at everybody, all the time. Eventually the temptation presented by this kind of power and control over people will intersect with some Erdogan or Lukashenko type with the finger on the trigger.
iCloud is interesting to me. It feels like Apple is so close to having a single trusted secure place on the cloud for all your data. With a few more features I’d be prepare to pay a lot more to escape the clutches of Google.
That was exactly my pain point back in 2007 when I wanted to get a specific configuration for the retina Macbook Pro.
That's why I built RefurbMe as a comparison and monitoring service :)
Hint: Being a jerk to people online using a random account makes you look like an asshole.
According to my tests the app seems to provide headless macs with a HiDPI virtual display with customizable resolution (tested via Screen Sharing, resolution switch on the fly worked, all resolutions are available without any real display connected - should work with VNC as well, but I did not test that).

I tested this as part of testing the app on Intel and Big Sur (BetterDummy worked fine on this Intel config with an integrated Intel UHD630 so headless Mac Mini 2018 users should be fine).
Or backups failing silently in some manner not being a "known" problem until you know.
The fact that you didn't even think about asking if it's balanced or not, and just went into declaring stupid everyone that considers the problem hard is annoying.

I wouldn't want to have an interview with you, or you selecting people for a team I'm on.
==For one example, the obvious elephant in the room is the shelter category. In the last year, rents are up 12%[1], and home prices have soared nearly 20%[2]==

The median person does not see a 20% increase in housing prices if they are not currently purchasing a home.
I have a 30-year mortgage and my housing costs have not increased since I purchased it. Add in the 65% home ownership rate and it isn't out of question that a large portion of the country isn't seeing as much housing inflation in their actual budgets.
