> but mostly every job posting you'll see for software is "requires bachelor of computer science or equivalent"

I'm not speaking from personal experience here, but from what I've read online, people without degrees often manage to get interviews at those companies, even though they don't meet the requirement.
Scary as hell for sure, but at least she was wearing a parachute.
Why People Like Full Home Renovation in North York?
Leaving a house can be extremely difficult, and the reason why most people do it is because of the same old boring design. Yes, a house built in one decade can look old in the next decade, but that does not mean there is no solution. You can always get full home renovation in North York to give your place a new style to flaunt.
Since when is testimony from their own Palestinian accountants not considered evidence?
It's a lot of leader/follower mentality. When you don't know what to do and can't make your own informed decision, you copy and mimick behaviors of others that are leading and successful. It happens in all facets of businesses. Most professional roles are highly risk averse and many roles can safely fall on "but Billy is doing it, and Billy is the best." When questioned about their choices, they can regurgitate the reasons Billy took the approach he/she did as a failsafe and ask of the person questioning the approach thinks they understand the situation better than Billy--all a sort of appeal to authority fallacy few pick up on. Smart leadership would at least look at the numbers and question why their business doesn't try something different than Billy because basic performance of that approach doesn't seem to be working too well for them and maybe something else would work better.
That's Xenomorphs right there. lol
Pash was an open-source third-party PowerShell implementation for Linux. Now that the original PowerShell has been open source and available on Linux for some time now, the real risk of the name collision is probably low.
Sure and, as already mentioned, the Wikipedia article does mention that the CNEN ended up being liable for compensation.

But sending a letter, even letters, to the CNEN does not absolve the owner's responsibility. It just shows that several organisations seem not to have done what they should have.
I almost giggled when I heard it. I recognised it instantly (but have heard the end song more times then I could possibly count). I still listened to the rest hoping there might be more, and was fascinated by the whole thing. This is a truly wonderful thing to stumble across and further support for my love of HN. Perfectly bisecting all of my geektastic tastes. Good job
Oh, that is in fact an important heat path on all but the most intensive components. But with high power components, the heat flux is pretty insane. You can move a huge amount of heat with heat pipes, and it's just easier to move heat out the back.
In addition, the ground effect will lower the stalling speed for any given weight and configuration, as compared to at altitude.
As someone who's done classified work, the general guidance we got is that we can speak in generalities.

So I can't say what the code specifically does or who it's for, but I can talk about how I worked on a c++ engine wrapped in a Java server that was responsible for coordinating a large group of non-homogeneous assets, as well as various architectural details (what libraries did we use, database, messaging setup, etc). So it's not like I have nothing to talk about in an interview, plus the fact that I can't get too specific adds mystique. It's kinda fun, because in my experience there's an assumption most engineers/engineering managers make about what I've worked on from that first statement, particularly if they know where I work, and it's actually not that. :)
"Unprofessional" is business speak for "I don't like you personally, but can't find any technical fault with you."

Wearing shorts is "unprofessional". Why? I don't know. I sling code, pants aren't helping or hindering with that. I grabbed shorts this morning, let's not make it complicated.
> go generate

I think both me and xyzzy_plugh were referring to go:embed. But I take your meaning that using go generate as a build step is not meant to be idiomatic. I guess I've been using it wrong all this time. :)
There are so many facts omitted in the comment you are replying to, there is no question it is not a comment made in good faith.
Cancelling Terry Gilliam (Again)
I'd say the world is a sandbox and we are all creators. Everyone can easily manipulate the world around them. Such is the sandbox.

But the cost is that the easier it is to manipulate worlds, the more temporal it is. Some talk about climate change and the extinction of humans and such. But IMO it doesn't really matter. Better civilizations have perished out there, millions of years ago.

I understand your emotional reaction to me criticizing Dr. Hipp. Believe it or not, I have no doubt he’s a nice person, and I mean it when I say I respect him. But you seem to be making assumptions and defending him reflexively without knowing what happened in the past, or even really understanding this argument. You haven’t explained your insult, therefore I suppose I have no choice but to ignore that remark. I made a very small amount of headway before because he agreed with me that I was right about one very specific piece of the exaggerated language on Fossil’s web page. He has, however, and despite my pointed questions, held firmly to his belief that editing commit history is lying and should be considered a crime, as demonstrated here.

Look, I think it’s absolutely great if you like Fossil. And I also think it’s great if Fossil has immutable history and cares about it deeply. My beef here is with saying that git rebase is a “lie”, being “deceitful”, “fabricating” things, etc. That is an untrue claim, it’s ironically itself completely dishonest.

If you like Fossil and want others to use it too, it might be worth reflecting on how Fossil’s marketing pages are actually pushing some people away from trying it. That’s what the claims about git really are: marketing.

The dogma that allows someone to go around calling others a liar over the tools they use to write code is what’s deeply insulting, and Dr. Hipp has had far, far more influence already than I ever will. You can stand next to this dogma if you like, but I think you’ll be on the wrong side of history. For now, blind followers everywhere like to parrot the claim that git rebase is a lie, without being equipped to defend this idea because they don’t actually share it deeply and haven’t been thoughtful enough on their own to understand the implications.
Not to be confused with labcore, the mad scientist aesthetic you'll be adhering to behind closed doors.

Obvious culture fit, strong enough technicals to pass all the interviews. Yeah. Slam dunk. They found people who definitely would be able to get hired.
It didnt work out or wasn't allowed to work out? I can upload my data to promethease to get health reports. I bet these would be a lot more useful if we had been freely allowed to exchange this data with each other.
That’s literally why I did 23andme, and I found out some very interesting things about my family structure.
The benefits of staying off social media
This is a really bad take-home exercise, because it is way too vague. This vagueness makes it very hard for me to decide how much time to devote to it, and what task is complex enough so that you will consider it, but not too small so that you don't throw it away. Instead of giving me a bar to jump over, you make the bar invisible, then expect me to jump just above it. So I hope you do have a default project for those who are not "creative"... at least not for the purposes of a job interview...
I feel the value in genomics is in the raw difficult science several levels of experimentation below the data. I fear that the biggest value for the present in much of the population scale genomics is in forensics rather than science.
> A pretty small sample size!

It's primarily a qualitative comparison, not a statistical analysis. 1/3 the human population also.

You have to be intentionally obtuse to not glean that China has effectively contained COVID-19 at this point. Not only are 1.4B Chinese and tens of millions of foreigners on the conspiracy, but the entire global economic system as well!

Show HN: Document and automate your operations playbooks and processes
Teams develop specific ways of doing things - how they handle pull requests, respond to incidents, handle bugs, hire new employees etc. These processes are important, but they often don't get documented, rely on lots of manual handling, and jump between multiple SaaS tools.

Workflow86 is an all-in-one platform for building, automating, and managing your team’s operations playbooks and business processes. It comes with lots of built-in functionality so you can do more with just Workflow86, while still making it super easy to integrate with other tools when needed.

Build your operations playbooks and business processes using our visual process builder. Use drag and drop components to build out your process step by step with forms, business logic, document templates and more. It's no-code, so non-technical team members (bizops, HR, admin, legal, risk and compliance) can set up playbooks and processes on their own.

Once you have built your playbook/process, you can run them automatically and at scale. Trigger playbooks automatically on a specific event, time, submission.

Manage your operations playbooks as they run from start to finish. Track automated operations as well as tasks requiring human input (approvals, review, decision making).

Don’t have any operations playbooks? We’ve got a bunch you can download and run straight away in areas ranging from Cybersecurity to COVID-19 response.

Built a really great playbook and want to share it? Deploy the whole thing as a template and share it with others like a Notion doc e.g. https://app.workflow86.com/template/26d48842-26cd-48bb-af51-...
The stall warning sounds before the airplane actually stalls, by definition. You were not actually stalling the plane.
Playing it straight would allow for the possibility that he really wanted his old job back and thought that by reinterviewing that could happen, diminishing his position. It would also require him to have been extremely outspoken to create a punch line at exactly the right time, rather than it being an ever-present gag.
I guess this means their DF21 uses some onboard optical system for terminal guidance, otherwise there would be no need for a physical mockup that visually resembles the intended target (it would otherwise be much easier to just designate a target region and measure afterwards if it landed in the region). Interestingly this might mean the DF21 is vulnerable to countermeasures that would interfere with the optics like a laser dazzler.
ahhh you mean like a json api for the browser!</sarcasm>
>So I think the term "happy accidents" is disingenuous.

I think, actually, that both of you are right. Everyone hears music differently, and some people may be better at putting together happy accidents, while others are better at hearing things beforehand. Ya know, just like the two of you. :)
Why is everyone acting surprised? The value of 23AndMe was always in the DNA of millions of people they had in their database.
> Part of it is due to monetary incentives of businesses that now own the media outlets. Part of it is due to what the general public has interest in and will pay for.

This should be an entire discussion thread. Even scrupulous journalistic outlets have to stay competitive on the business side. And people don’t want facts, they want a story; something to spawn feeling instead of thought.
I have a hard time taking this seriously.

Its not 1998 anymore. The idea of building your own disk image to install an OS for general usage is a bit b0rked.

It's different if you're developing that OS or actively porting or something.

Edit: TO be clear, the line " However, MacBooks ship with macOS, an operating system several of us consider much less impressive." changes how the article reads for me. Something like "lets investigate linux performance on these machines" would make this read entirely differently
> Why can't the old WA model be used?

I don't think WhatsApp was profitable on that model, and they also had surprisingly low costs (due to great server tech, small team) that I suspect Telegram can't match.
Scientists were also concerned about Theranos before that but the press wasn't itnerested

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/21109...
I see your point. Perhaps the best way is to use TOAST compression for wide field values, and then rely on ZFS filesystem compression for others? For some context, in MySQL, both the table-level compression and page-level compression are problematic, while ZFS has served me well, thus I have a lot more faith in it.
Having this on my 13 inch Macbook Pro M1.
After upgrading to Monterey it also started to heat-up without any heavy app being open. In Big Sur I had to open say OpenTTD to make it warm. Now it's just browser and IDE doing that.
I feel like most technical people knew Theranos' claims were not real, similar to any fusion-type startup claims. Sure they may sound good but it takes extraordinary evidence to really prove. I can't figure out how most commercial partners and especially a major pharmacy chain fell for the fraud. Do they not have ongoing QA via statistics etc.? If they didn't monitor Theranos do they not monitor other providers either?

Theranos' big claim was they could do tests on a much smaller amount of blood. Perhaps they didn't end up doing that for Walgreens since they used externally sourced hardware, in which case they were just another test provider and if they tested out OK in ongoing QA, I don't see a problem with that from partner POV, but just from the investor POV who expected a new technology to get an edge over the competition.

IIRC they were using smaller than usual blood samples and feeding them into external testing hardware by watering down to required size. This sounds bad; but if it doesn't show up in QA - then maybe it's a legitimate advancement. If it makes testing less reliable and it doesn't show up in QA - then QA needs to be fixed. If it does show up in QA - Walgreens never should have agreed. If it does show up in QA but Walgreens never noticed - that is a problem to address.

I guess the initial deal was done on salesmanship and promises, so maybe they would have found out sooner or later.
Yes, and you should. And for those governments who can’t or won’t provide evidence, you should disregard their assertions as baseless and suspect.

I mean, why wouldn’t you demand proof? Governments have a long and nasty history of conflating their political interests with security interests, just trusting their assertions seems extremely foolhardy.
In Europe (luckily and rightfully) it's illegal and considered torture to cut the ears of a beagle or perform infibulation on a little girl.

But for some reason it's totally fine to perform circumcision on a baby.

Something's wrong here and we should ban also this practice. It's torture.
Many PN junction based components such as diodes and transistors are photosensitive; I recall after reading this as a kid on an old electronics magazine, I took a 2N3055, a pretty common power bipolar transistor back then, uncapped it to expose the die then connected it to my analog tester and saw it generating current when exposed to a lamp.
The effect is common also in devices one could never suspect to be sensitive to light such as LEDs. They can produce light but also detect it. A few years ago someone published a project online of a MCU based keyboard (actually a button board) made of PWM driven LEDs that can both produce light and during their off cycle detect it, so that one turns them on and off just by touching them with a finger screening them from surrounding light. I attempted to search for that project without luck.
And fun fact: when the Pi boots up (all generations so far), the primary bootloader is the VPU (VideoCore), which then initializes the CPU and RAM.

These things are slightly weird in that way.
It's always funny how they talk about "iran-backed" militias... But not "america-backed" or "saudi-backed" or "uae-backed" or "israeli-backed"...
Yeah. My father and grandfather used to work in junkyards like these. If some strange glowing material showed up in a scrapyard, I have no doubt they'd think it was valuable.
I don't see how 2002 was ever different in this from 2021 (except maybe for a stronger international dimension today).
I'm good with any measurable indicator of "savings" or "productivity improvement"

One of my a ex-girlfriend's mother was one of the doctors that tended to some of the sick. She didn't like to talk about it, saying the movie covered what she saw but, ~20 years later (at the time we were dating) she didn't like to remember what she went through.

I vividly remember her talking about it because she tried to end the conversation with a joke ("don't poke holes in stuff") that didn't land but I had a polite chuckle to move on.
From what I can see there's little value in the Metaverse concept because of the fact it is a rehash of Second Life but with the scale and funding of Meta (formally Facebook). Absent the cash flow and infrastructure no one would really care beyond VR enthusiasts.

The problem with the whole metaverse concept is that the implementation runs counter to the actual infrastructure underlying it. The Internet works so well because it's very permissive/open with data transfer. It's funny how that we now try to wrangle that back in when we should be making the other layers of the network (session, application, and presentation) as permissive as the lower level transport and link layers. But it seems we want to reinvent the centralized systems of old like mainframes and computer information services but without the old trappings as if people aren't fully aware of how that all worked out (badly for consumers).
Registering hypothesis before I read the article: No, they arn't.

They are not yet doing this so at least the tense of the article is wrong. It's likely that there's an internal project but it's nowhere near rollout.

Ok, brb.

Post Read: Better than I expected!

The title gave me the impression that the trucks are doing deliveries to end customers. Not the case. They are doing 'middle mile' trips between two known points over and over.

Also they have remote safety drivers watching.

The underlying company is Gatik (https://gatik.ai/), and they carefully map the exact route and add custom logic for it before they let the trucks run free. Seems like a good niche solution!

With two operating trucks I'm still going to call the headline 'mostly false' but I was surprised at both the solution and the progress so yay!
No worries, if you have a question on something just ask. Greenspan popularized the view that excess capital flowing into stocks can be viewed as a form of inflation. There are limits (not strict) on short-term consumption so excess capital needs to go somewhere. Some of it goes into stocks until used for future consumption.
Ever wondered why those people are protesting? If you only follow the history of the region you’d quickly realize that Israel did (and does) terrorize their neighbors who in turn retaliated and the vicious cycle of vendettas on eachother continues to this day. What is realy cool about Israel is that they’re a democratic country and a large part of their country denounces all this violence, there is a way forward towards peace. But before that look closely at a map, Israel has sistematically divided and isolated most Palestinian land in an obvious divide and empera plan.
Fuck the fedz. Fuck IP.
One major function of a government is the monopoly on "cancelling" or really the use of force.

The nice thing about western countries is that they require due process of law. ...which was followed in this case.
Unfortunately we also started receiving this claim shortly after creating a SECURITY page, based on this I've just decided to replace our email with a link to our online contact form so we can be reached without disclosing our Email, hopefully that is enough to prevent automated email systems.
And for folks who don't have the connections to "back channel" the issues you have?

Guess you just outright reject 98% of all possible applicants?
Yes - read the article
The claim by IGR, however, was that the removal was impossible without authorisation from CNEN, and that they legally lost access to the location and the machine.

If this was indeed true and they acted on it, then it would absolve them. However a judge disagreed, so they also had to pay 100k.

---

EDIT: On the second page of the document above, the judge mentions that owners of IGR were free from paying. Only the nuclear physicist (Flamarion) and a former partner who ordered the demolition (Amaurillo) had to pony up the 100k.
Does the public policy saying that in order to receive aid due to hurricane harvey you must vow not to boycott israeli products count?
