I was wondering how AT&T knew I got a new phone when I just moved my SIM over. That seems like a over complicated way to do that. Seems like when it does the initial handshake with the network the different IMEI would be enough (unless this is the initial handshake).
and plus lumping anti-mask with anti-vaxx is incredibly disingenuous. I am firmly anti-mask and pro-vaccine. It’s absolutely insane to continue with this mask stuff when anybody can get a vaccine. There is zero reason for a vaccinated individual to continue wearing a mask in any circumstance at all. Zero.

anybody who brings up kids is being intentionally obtuse. They know full well that kids are at basically zero risk of serious covid.

Lastly, calling everything you disagree with as “dangerous misinformation” is just intellectually dishonest nonsense. Yeah there is plenty of nonsense out there… but lots of non-crazy people can legitimately object to virtually every single thing society has done the last year and three quarters. To think it is impossible that well intentioned people can think any way but the orthodox covid narrative is, well, not very open minded at all to say it politely.
Are these RegExps/Date objects passed as props? I’m not sure why a VDOM algorithm would have to handle these types of objects.
Both.

I have cards for certain players, teams or inserts that I buy to collect, if I can make money on them great, if not I enjoy having them in my personal collection (PC).

Then there are cards I’ll buy anticipating a rise in value with the intention to sell in 6-12 months or longer. Typically this involves buying rare cards or good players of sports in off seasons when demand dries up, so for example I was buying a lot of big name football cards over the summer when the football news cycle was slow, and recently moved to buying basketball leading into the NBA season.
It's not that simple.

The most important reason there are mask and vaccine mandates is that hospitals are already overloaded with unvaccinated COVID patients, which means no one else can get health care. Cancer patients (like my family member) are dying due to lack of treatment. People with sudden injuries (like from car crashes) can't get a bed in a hospital. If we completely remove all restrictions it would get much worse.

Another reason is that not everyone can get vaccinated. My kids are under the age limit for the vaccine. Obviously their risk of death is low, but their risk of long COVID may not be. It bothers me that people who interact with my daughter on a daily basis (like two of the mothers of other children at her daycare) refuse to get vaccinated.
Get test then.
It might be, depending on the particular case. For example, generators when the power goes out, as it does all too frequently in places.
An automatic merge is just some algorithm's often poor idea of how some parallel changes should be integrated. This has to be verified by a software engineer and put through QA, and adjusted as necessary so that it works to the best of everyone's knowledge. Then you publish the result as the result of the merge.

If you commits the result of a merge before doing anything with it to fix it up, that implies that you will sometimes be committing non-buildable code which still contains conflict markers. That's not even allowed under a continuous integration policy that every build has to build (and pass unit tests and whatnot).
I've stayed in a couple in the U.S. that had no windows, both built in the modern era, which perhaps accounts for the difference. Both with Jesuit roots.
Except this isn’t true. I can embed arbitrary side effects in any line of Haskell code with something like

foo :: Int -> String
foo x = seq
(unsafePerformIO $
println “pwned”)
(show x)
The article seems to gloss over that tomatoe plants look very similar to the closely related poisonous nightshade plants.

See pics [1] and [2], could you definitively differentiate between these two plants in the wild? Now consider if you removed the hundreds of years of selective breeding of tomatoes that has led to them looking the way we imagine them. Think of something like an heirloom tomato that can be a variety of shapes and colors, and without modern agricultural advancements, the fruits are smaller too. I bet that some of those tomatoes looked pretty damn similar to its poisonous cousin. On top of that, at BEST you have access to an old drawing someone made of a tomato plant, and probably a different variety than the one you're looking at. I'm speculating a fair bit here, but at least superficially it doesn't seem that crazy that your average seventeenth century European person wouldn't want to risk their lives on correctly identifying a tomato vs. a nearly identical, toxic garden weed.

It's not exactly the credibility that's the problem. There are dedicated editors on Wikipedia that are not only removing updates to articles, but are putting up false information, and are hiding behind Section 230 to avoid any repercussions. At the very least, regular news agencies have to issue corrections, or face lawsuits (granted, regular news agencies frequently put out false information and issue corrections only after everyone has already read the article).
> Most organizations' repositories will have one or more protected branches(e.g. master)

If you're using git, everyone has a local repo, and that repo's master branch is local: they can rewrite their unpublished content in it however they want. It's really quite convenient; a good feature of git.
It depends on what you learn and build. If you learn and build algorithmic solutions to hard problems then it will help with these interviews.
Good idea, however it's a shame that this is sitting on a very inefficient blockchain, its TLD already collides with Ethiopia and to renew requires paying for the highly expensive gas fees which isn't great if you own multiple subdomains.

The subdomains on ENS (which are all sitting on the .eth TLD) are also going to be in good hands; surely. /s
Spins are so short and well-defined that I wonder why the kernel doesn't just examine a handful of instructions around the program counter and guess if the thread is spinning or not before scheduling it for another time slice. Seems like a really nice and simple kind of heuristic to implement.
Fwiw that job we had an explicit goal of 60 minutes or less and tested that against engineers we’d already hired.

I’ve heard guidance that said up to 4 hours was a fine. That might have been true back then before employers abused the system and made code tests just another hoop, not a replacement for, interviewing.
To have a thread block on a lock, you need to keep track of the fact that the thread is waiting on that lock, and then when the lock is unlocked, wake that thread (or at least one thread that's blocked on it).

That could be a wait queue, or it could be keeping track of what lock (if any) a thread is blocked on and iterating all threads to see if anything is blocked (this is relatively easy to implement, but not great if you have many threads), or ???. If you're running SMP or a re-entrant kernel, you need to be careful about how you do your checks so you don't have race conditions; you don't want a thread blocked on an unlocked lock.
I'm actually cool assuming there is implicit harm and no benefit, but by that logic we need to tear google down too. I'm cool making that trade but it has to be done equally.

If you can't make that trade then you've weighed the value provided by an organization like google to be more valuable than the copyright of these content creators and I want other players who may want to be able to challenge google to have the same protections and access google does to have a chance at providing the same value.
I believe in Japan it is all a matter of "ranking". You have a bunch of them: bosses, elders, customers, etc... are all respected but the opposite might not be true.
The net value to society is likely negative since the impact on the target is large, and a society that allowed such things may see time horizons constrict.

You raise some good points, though. I personally am probably coming with an unspoken understanding that 'given that something fits into a legal and moral structure, and we accept a certain definition of using something by choice as value' then paying more for that thing implies more value. Facebook is probably a good example of something in the grey area, connecting people has value, but generating demand is questionable, spreading misinformation is likely a large net negative.
There are also many options in between "cloud-based infinity scale" and "on-prem". You can use cloud services that abstract many day-to-day operational tasks of db management, but are still bound price-wise to your monthly instance costs.
I will buy into electric everything once the government mandates standardized interchangeable batteries for everything. And mandatory warranties.
Rather droll and overly uncharitable reading, perhaps. Given the highly performative nature of these interviews, where the candidate is expected to explain their "way of thinking", writing out thought processes in a systemized, scientific investigative matter will at least earn partial credit.
> While trains have long been part of Japanese daily life after most of Tokyo was leveled during World War II, Japan had to make a post-war decision to either adopt the American automobile-focused city or to rely on public transportation. Of course, they chose public transportation, likely because of Japan’s lack of natural resources like oil.

This is true for Tokyo and other major metropolises and larger cities.

Having lived in smaller towns and the country-side, I can confidently say that the rest of the country has gone all-in on the American car-centered infrastructure. Living in a town of 30k citizens in Scandinavia for years, I never felt the need for a car. In Japan, it’s essential. Busses run 1/h or so and stops are sparse. The towns themselves are sprawling and not very accessible by foot. Bicycling is a tiring and dangerous endeavour.
No one is calling for lockdowns anymore. Lockdowns were a temporary measure to avoid overloading hospitals, and (at least in my country) workers who were put out of work were compensated generously by the government in order to keep their needs met.

You do understand that lockdowns are basically the opposite of mask and vaccine mandates right? Masks and vaccines help us avoid lockdowns and get back to normal. Yet all of the people I see complaining about lockdowns are the same people I see refusing to wear masks and refusing to get vaccinated.
There is no 'DOT' for a mathematical calculator. So confusing!
Sorry to hear that! Haven’t made it to Ostrava yet, but traveled a fair bit around Czechia - amazing country and people.
How does any of what you said equate to vaccinated people being required to wear a mask? Do you not believe vaccines work? Why did you get one than?

And the kids argument is plain wrong. Unlike many respiratory viruses out there, covid doesn’t really affect kids. Full stop.

Full hospitals don’t matter. They are private companies who had more than a year and a half to prepare for this. Expecting all of society to bail them out? No thanks.
Because you can’t/don’t integrate major process changes at individual steps. You introduce entirely new or revised processes with many steps updated or new technology introduce in tandem …so called nodes.

When you move to suv, for example, you need finer etching and better cleans and many other things. Until you introduce Euclid if you don’t need the finer etch and your process “yields” well don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.

An analogy would be…star drive screws are better overall than philips screws. But I probably wouldn’t switch my car assembly line over to star drive screws by doing it one assembly station at a time.

I’d shut the line down for a weekend and change them all, or I might change them all as part of switching production over to next years model.
I've been KYC'd on Namebase since its inception so I'm all set.

I do agree that the KYC requirements are trash. A while ago I figured out I could buy without KYC via MEXC and then send the HNS to ViaWallet.
I lived in Fukuoka (and other areas in Kyushu) for a while, have visited Tokyo a number of times, and have also visited Kyoto. They’re all certainly different cities in various ways, but my experience has been that just like anywhere else in the world there are friendly, kind people in all three. I have a dear, kind, generous friend who lives in Tokyo (and is Japanese). Tokyo is definitely a big city with a lot of busy people, but it’s also my favorite city in the world by far.
The only time I do this is with good news, and over time that's become known. I will over explain and give clear heads up about bad news, so the difference is clear. Similar to YC accepting people via phone call and rejecting via email, you know what you expect either way. Knowing what to expect either way and conistency are the most important elements of this.
This seems like a terrible series of individually reasonable decisions that could easily lead to wrongful legal outcomes.
I'm on the pro-crypto side, but the US dollar has more than consumer confidence, it has the largest armed forces the world has ever seen. So a better comparison is something like gold, I think, that has value because we say it has value (it's shiny! and rare...)... which is fine, just different.
Our internal monitoring alerts for performance anomalies. Quite possible to scale and warn you.
If it doesn't have to be a Pi and just needs to be ARM, then AWS, GCP and Oracle all offer ARM instances and the ability to have custom images. I'm pretty sure they all have options that cost less than .05 USD an hour for on demand, and I know that GCP and AWS have tons of free credit available.
Recently parlayed all of my 1st edition Pokémon cards into Magic cards so I could play at local stores. Been a great way to meet new people in a safe way during the pandemic and to collect.
the art of display dislike by indistinguishable way of Kyoto people is very famous in Japan. even people from other Japan city is difficult to understand they whether is angry...
There was a study conducted some time ago within the past year or so (it had a long discussion thread here, naturally) where it was discovered that when allowed to solve a whiteboard puzzle in a room alone, candidates performed far better. Now obviously communications soft skills must be tested. But perhaps the format can be tweaked so the candidate has some time to crack at a problem on their own prior to be asked to explain it.

The "niceness" of the interviewers is irrelevant. The power differential at stake sparks a survival instinct that leads to stress. (e.g. they literally hold power over your future meal prospects.) Though perhaps in others, it invigorates them with a sense of purpose, cool, and collectedness. Perhaps that is truly the 10x engineer.
So jazz isn’t random with rhythm, it’s pseudorandom with rhythm you can’t dance to. Still not feeling it.
> IMO, that's the same sentiment that comes up in the app store tax threads. Some Apple users say they're willing to pay more, but the reality is they're being subsidized by the users that don't need or want those features.

Well, true, but I have no influence on other consumers decisions, but they obviously see value in the overall proposition. I don’t demand a price reduction from my ISP because I don’t use torrents or tor.

If you don’t see the total value in Apple’s offer, buy something else.

> If you want to pay 2x or 3x or whatever's needed to make up the difference that's fine by me. Just don't make me participate in that system because I don't need it.

Buy a different brand, then.

I do agree that it’s very desirable to be able to simply and cheaply replace broken components. It intensely annoys me too, but, for me, it’s ok (not great) given the overall proposition, to ensure end to end security.

I replaced a screen, parts and labour, on my phone this week for AUD$45 with Apple Care. Can anyone else do that for $15 or $25 as you suggest?

I don’t see the other manufacturers being significantly better in this regard.

The big opportunity for Apple, in my opinion, is to figure out a more compelling recycling program.

> There's not a manufacturer in the solar system that's going to forgo the use of parts serialization unless it gets prohibited with legislation. The money to be made by locking out competition is too appealing.

Our points are the same, but one never hears this level of criticism directed at Samsung or Google. Are they any better? Maybe in a few different ways, but not as a whole.

But pretending that Apple is somehow the worst, when they are categorically far from it, is just disingenuous and frankly boring.
I've used it a lot as a hobbyist and a little at work (about ~5% of our production code is F#). I really like it but I use it differently that a lot of F# people do, in that I am less interested in the functional aspects of it and more in some of the other fascinating features is has (like type providers, active patterns, sum types etc).

It shares heritage with OCaml and Rust. I sometimes like to call F# "Rust with garbage collection".
I have to say that someone swapping SIM cards or initiating a phone update while driving also seems pretty improbable.
I recommend taking a look at the courses How to Code: Simple Data and How to Code: Complex Data on edX.

https://www.edx.org/course/how-to-code-simple-data

https://www.edx.org/course/how-to-code-complex-data

They use Racket and are based on the book How to Design Programs. I think they're a great supplement to SICP, which is an excellent book you should stick with. The book The Little Schemer is also helpful for solidifying recursion principles. The Programming Languages courses (Parts A, B, and C) on Coursera are excellent two. Part A uses SML, and is another good source for recursion practice, Part B uses Racket, and Part C uses Ruby.

Lastly, are you going through SICP using Scheme or Racket? If not, I highly recommend doing so (in the case you are using the Python version of the book, which has been modified heavily from the original).
Also, all of the nuclear reactors in the world provide about 10% of the world's power. Even doubling this might not be enough.
Yes, and that's why it's an application level concern. A metaverse like they envision is a platform for the discovery of applications created according to certain standards, just like a web browser, and just like an app store. It's in every big player's interest to delude you into believing that there's only going to be one metaverse, and in particular that it's going to be theirs, but we have no more reason to believe these claims than we have reason to believe that there will ever be exactly one software platform in any other context. It's just a VR-focused app platform.
A lot of the people who I interview think they understand the problem, but I purposfully leave several things vague, like a product person would do, and I assure you they don't know it.

One of my simplest questions is that you have 2 files, one with vendor_sku and price and another with sku and vendor sku, I want a file with sku and price. People will just start coding from there or just assume they're getting in arrays.
Sorry if I misunderstood your position, and thank you for clarifying it.

Personally I don't see why it would be a nightmare if the US president didn't operate the executive. I think voters would be a lot less worried about the "wrong" person getting elected if the president couldn't declare war or appoint SCOTUS judges, so this change might reduce some of the tribalism.

As you say, every political body has the power to create crises, and the electorate should quickly see through any deliberate attempts to create one, so there seems little risk that the minimal-president role I am suggesting would attract people motivated to cause trouble.
trading cards have always been cool as far as I know... I just sold one of my kid's pokemon card for ~$100... he has better plans for that money

> They don’t help you because they want to. They feel obligated to help.

Wow, what kind of logic is that? Someone is doing X and you are deciding their reasons for them?

Maybe someone is tired and still going out of their way to help you, but you choose to view it as insincerity.

Sounds like you are projecting your insecurities on to others, or got treated as less of celebrity than you were looking forward to (a common thing among Westerners visiting Japan). Judging people for helping you, really?
That’s cool! I wish other cities did that too.
Even in relatively technical circles, like HN, many people are not aware of this and I use every opportunity I have to reiterate:

A SIM card is a full blown computer with its own CPU and memory.

Your carrier can upload and run arbitrary code without your consent or knowledge. They can do this at any time.

This means that your "phone" is actually three different computers running in concert - the actual phone itself (iOS or Android or Symbian), the baseband processor running the baseband code, and the SIM card.
The chip establishes an authenticated, encrypted channel for faceID sensor information.

The goal is to prevent someone from silently replacing the camera module with a new device that is no longer capturing local/live data.

Since the ability to replace the camera is audited though, I would assume that this does lock out replacements of the FaceID module by unauthorized third parties, _unless_ there is also a process to do so via a full hardware/storage reset.
Or cryptocurrencies. Picking on NFTs, at least I can frame and look at a baseball card, maybe show it to visitors. NFTs have even less utility.

maybe some student read this article and forgot to learning from their teachers in university?
I really struggled with the "natural" language queries for this: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=+new+south+wales+covid...

Any advice on rephrasing it to work would be welcomed. Downside to allegedly natural language query systems - there's no concise explanation of syntax it recognises.
> Did developers become so lazy that they don‘t really optimize anymore?

It seems like this doesn’t really line up with the evidence that phones got faster.
" The point here is that the cellphone literally has a mind of its own, in fact multiple “minds”, including in the SIM. These various minds might not even be talking to each other, and just because a phone did something, that doesn’t mean that user caused it."

Yes, baseband, modem f/w and the operating system work together but don't have to talk to one another.

A great read about be REX, from Qualcomm that goes into more detials - https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2011/Fahrplan/attach...

All the fun Qualcomm PDF's seem to be missing from the net now, but there were more official/confidental PDF's that went into details besides this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REX_OS

BUt even reading from the old dead CDMA2000/eVDO standard you can see more of this too - https://ftp.unpad.ac.id/orari/library/library-ref-eng/ref-en...

And more on "what is a qualcomm chipset" https://ftp.unpad.ac.id/orari/library/library-ref-eng/ref-en...

Yes, these links are not for GSM, but Qualcomm makes GSM and these carry over as a standard, and these 10-15yr old slides are amazing and should be archived too - they used to be public even on Qualcomm sites too.

But thank you for the https://yatebts.com/ link - that is so cool, what I do with diagnostic and fun tinkering is with Qualcomm Tools that I no longer have access too. QPST, QXDM, etc.
