Thanks so much! The team is thrilled with how it turned out... and our first marketing hire doesn't start until next week, so this was a bit of a grind.

We looked at Clearbit's and Productboard's ebooks, frankly. And then we worked with a designer on the PDF itself: http://nonfik.com/studio
If you're seeing this on any version of Windows made in the last 22 years or so, it's because a software developer fucked up in a really creative way. My condolences.

Sometimes the issue is that people have tended to conflate "dll hell" and "dependency hell." That's an old pet peeve of mine and I realize it doesn't matter...
The NYT article about this same issue (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/08/us/metallurgist-navy-fals...) mentions that Bradken is "the Navy's leading supplier of cast, high-yield steel used for naval submarines." Without knowing the intricacies of the cast of suppliers for submarine parts, it's a safe bet that blacklisting Bradken would set back a _lot_ of naval construction projects by a significant amount. I imagine that dampens the enthusiasm within the Navy for crucifying Bradken as an example for the rest of 'em.
If I were a competing foundry, and I had seen this coming and was in a position to show up this week with detailed quotes and delivery dates for replacements for Bradken's upcoming work, that might be a huge win for me. My guess is that there's a way for another company to 'pull' the Navy out of this massive logjam, but the Navy can't easily 'push' itself out.

> As someone who lived in the US for 8 years... How much is a cup?

While its not quite right (its a little smaller), at the level of doing a recipe, 250ml [0] (but for flour in baking, you should use weight, not volume, anyway.)

[0] 4 cups = 2 pints = 1qt ≈ 1l
Great tool to improve the dismal experience of searching recipes online.

To intrepid cooks I encourage getting a good cookbook, e.g. from Julia Child or Mark Bittman – where you can learn cooking fundamentals and techniques aimed to teach you how to cook self-sufficiently.

Break away from recipes and you’ll be dancing around your kitchen to your own culinary tune instead of recreating mediocre click bait.
I lament that a whole generation has come of age only knowing gamified and astroturfed search.
There's many other companies abroad capable of offering compensations that can compete with the US.

Anecdotal, but plenty of contacts who would have never accepted an on-site position in UAE, Hong Kong, Germany (for reasons ranging from personal, political, or just sheer affordability), and are now contracting as individuals at companies based in such regions, for substantially above the Bay Area average for their experience.

"software that is more likely to falsely punish people of color does support the continued dominance of white people in a real, material way."

The statement is at best extremely misleading, and at worse, mostly false. It also represents a juvenile, immature, and myopic perspective on reality.

I would suggest reading "Wealth, Poverty, and Politics" or "Discrimination and Disparities" by Thomas Sowell. He has been debunking the "inequality of outcome therefore racism" logical fallacy for decades.
Yup. For what it's worth I couldn't find any examples of that architect's work to compare with.

And I would also say if you are a professional who got cut out of the process, you are gonna be pissed off no matter what.

not to say this architect is bad/wrong, just that he doesn't exactly have any incentive to celebrate this.
But extrapolating from one HN commenter onto the entire zeitgeist is acceptable to you?
Is it me or are a lot of these the "Do X using a Rasberry Pi" really just "Do X on any linux box, maybe a Rasberry pi, but anything that runs linux and has the port you need will work.
The use of Proctorio seems to mostly be a U.S. issue.

I have never seen it used over here (Poland). My friends from other European countries haven't either, at least when I asked them.

I wouldn't be surprised if GDPR prevents them from collecting most of that data. The fact that most colleges here are state-run might also contribute.
My criticism is that including a laundry list of "isms" is a polarizing, low-effort rhetorical device that elides a lot of nuance.

White supremacy: darker skin tones tend to photograph worse than lighter skin tones. Laptop webcams are notoriously crappy and can make this effect worse. Is this white supremacy or physics? Can the test instructions be modified to ask all users to have an appropriate lighting setup (ie lit from above and from the side to ensure that your face is foregrounded properly)

Ableism: for users who require assistive technologies, is it better to take a test in their own space with their own equipment or to travel to a test center and use shared lab equipment? For users with mobility challenges, is it better to be in their own space or travel to a potentially non-accessible testing center?

Sexism: for working mothers, better to take a test in your own home or travel to a testing center and arrange for child care?

Two "isms" seem more relevant but weren’t mentioned: ageism - because fuck boomers, right? Socioeconomics - not everyone has access to a PC that meets the specifications or can acquire one on short notice.

Lots of context is discarded when one engages in polarizing categorical rhetoric. I’m not here shilling for proctoring software but rather for nuanced discourse.
I don't find it that confusing. Parameter names are usually longer than one character.
The same happens in Brazil nowadays. You dare to criticize Bolsonaro and you're excluded. A scientist was going to receive a prize last week for his research showing that chloroquine doesn't help against COVID-19 and once the Bolsominions discovered it, the prize was cancelled (because the president is a proponent of "alternative" treatments and against vaccines -- he recently said they cause AIDS).

You can't duplicate or send your house by email. The "art" linked to the NFT can be duplicated bit-for-bit. What is unique is the NFT, that is, the certificate of ownership.
How do any of these technologies stop data copying, exactly?

NFTs seem pretty ineffective. At best you can argue a walled garden might end up being the most popular incarnation of the metaverse, but its not fundamental to it.
I'd claim those subsidies worked fine then. The problem wasn't supply - It was delivery. There weren't enough drivers to move stuff around, so stuff didn't get moved around and shelves were empty. The supply chain's weakest link was delivery, so that broke. Exports to China used different infrastructure that wasn't as affected, so they still happened
A lot of people praised Welch back in the day. I don't understand all these but maybe he was not that shiny after all. So the trick to be a successful and loved CEO (or anything) is to take ownership of something, beautify the balance sheet and get out before it explodes.

This also applies for software engineering. Try to start a new project in some company, and you get the privilege of:

1. No need to maintain other shit mountain;

2. Get to start your own shit mountain;

3. Can come back as consult and win big bucks

4. Can speak at conferences about "How X is implemented in company Y"
It really doesn’t.
I don't understand how you think this is solely one-sided.

> "they stretched out the case with a team of very expensive corporate lawyers whoses price ranges are in the millions".

Yes - The company stretched the case out with expensive lawyers: Do you think the other side is somehow not obligated to also continue dealing with that case?

Who pays my lawyer while the company stretches the case out? Oops - that's still me.

----

As someone who has actually retained a lawyer for dealing with a previous employer:

1 - Most places had zero interest if the money at play was less than 100k (ie: They would not take the case unless I had a potential win of 100k or more)

2 - They charge ~$350 an hour. Sometimes billing for "intern" work at ~$150 an hour instead. I make good money (~200k) and I can afford less than 23 days of lawyer time a year, assuming I spend my ENTIRE yearly income on it.
NFTs are completely useless for this. Why would game use blockchain to store ownership of an item? There are exactly 0 benefits to doing that instead just tracking it on their won servers in old normal database. Since anyone can create duplicate NFTs they would have to track which ones are genuine which defeats the whole purpose.
I would imagine that a majority of the world is fine with giving up a little control to have a chance of getting their money back.
Packard Bell. Lenovo. Magnavox. Crosley. Gold Bond. Radio Shack (It's a little messy). Circuit City. And a hundred more you see on late night TV commercials.

Sometimes when a company goes bankrupt, the most valuable asset sold is the brand name and the goodwill that goes with it.

As for GE Appliances, I had them in every apartment I lived in for about ten years. Never thought much about it until I moved to a place that had Maytag appliances. They were ten years old, but still better than the new GE ones in my previous place.

Now my apartment is all KitchenAid in the kitchen and Maytag elsewhere. It's was like stepping into time capsule to the future.
I had one around 2009. It even came with Linux.

They seem less common nowadays, since a tablet or tethered phone covers most use cases.
Having grown up in Wiltshire we're already we'll versed in 123 m spire techniques comrade.
I don't know. But how can we really claim things are "proven" or the trials are "rigorous" when they literally assume some sort of magic in their fundamental design? I mean we should at the very least dial down our certainty in medical claims until scientists can satisfactorily explain why they think new age woo/homeopathy/etc is beyond the pale neanderthal stupidity, up until the moment it's relabelled "placebo" when suddenly it can work.

I mean we're in an environment where the US President is forcing an entire nation to take an experimental medical treatment on the back of (failed!) trials, simply because politician's faith in "science" and the medical establishment is 100% unshakeable. Largely because scientists themselves hardly seem to admit to the true levels of uncertainty in their own work (replication crisis etc). There's a huge mismatch between people's perception of study rigor and "sometimes people think themselves better lol magic innit", which is basically the state of our understanding of the placebo effect.
No news on Ractors improvements :'(, maybe next year
I live in Barcelona city but I have no kids. I often see whole school classes on the metro though, going on school trips. I think the metro is just fine for them.

Also, walking everywhere is really feasible. I stopped using the metro for everything due to Corona. Though I picked it up again after getting the vaccine, I still retained the habit of walking. Barcelona is nice and compact, I can walk everywhere within an hour or so. Not sure about Madrid, I've only visited.

If I had a car I wouldn't even know where to leave it to be honest. In my area there's no parking available except some highly expensive garages.
Metaverse is the new cloud: the word used not to mean something, but to hide meaning.
Yes, you are missing the part where a small group of person making things illegal based on very limited information instead of relying on the total computational system of the human organism is a bad things.

Why are drugs illegal? In a large part because black people used them. Also in part, because it threatened the traditional American way of life people were attached to.
You're confusing Watts, which is power, with levelised cost, which is price of energy over the lifetime of the plant.

It costs 1 dollar to install 1 W of solar PV with no batteries. To include a 2-4 hour battery it's double that. Long term storage for day to day or seasonal is much much more, and likely impossible to do with the current tech.

And in regards to France, compare France's electricity cost with Germany's, Nuclear clearly beats PV and wind on cost. People will say that wholesale prices are the same, and Germany pays such a huge price solely because of taxes. But the point is...those taxes are so high in order to support renewables subsidies.

This being China, all comparisons are moot. They can reduce costs significantly, like they showed with the PV modules. They are the ones that truly commoditized the modules.
Surely the architect working on this building is the one to listen to about this building.
But how does the NFT actually help with that? Couldn't developers/companies just create copies of that item/asset and sell them as often as they want to?
If they want to sell assets/items exactly once nothing is stopping them from doing so right now, they are the only ones who can actually enforce that anyways.

They’re a bank. You can definitely close your account. I did it when I needed to graduate to a “big boy” brokerage. If they aren’t doing it, contact the CFPB for help & advice.
The problem with being relentlessly negative is that it doesn't work. Not unless the people you're explaining the problem to are receptive to your approach, and they don't think you're just a naysayer. You must explain what you are doing and, if possible, show good results you obtained through this method.

To be effective, you don't have to be just right; you have to convince others that you are right as well.

To give an extreme example, the Soviet engineer of this story was lucky Stalin died, because he certainly didn't understand the mindset of his interlocutor and wasn't well received.
> maybe we dont want a society that is based upon threats of violence.

I'm not convinced that such a thing is possible.

Fundamentally, for such a society there has to be some kind of rule that "threats of violence" and "violence itself" are not allowed. How is such a rule enforced? If your society is unwilling to be violent in any way, under any circumstances, but someone else is willing to be violent you're going to have a bad time.

> giving up big city qol

What does this even mean?

Living in a sterile 600 sq ft box filled with IKEA furniture emitting VOCs? Hearing sirens all through the night? Stepping over needles and human poop on the sidewalk en route to the CVS that's currently being robbed? Enjoying that specific moment between 10:47am and 1:04pm when the 90-floor building's shadow allows actual sunlight to enter your sterile box's windows? Getting stabbed, raped, or becoming a victim of anti-Asian hate violence on public transport?

I've yet to hear an explication of what's so great about the city, other than access to different breweries, nightclubs, and fancy farm-to-table restaurants.

Here in the country, the microbrewery is closer - literally a row of carboys fermenting DIPAs in the basement, and cold kegs fresh off secondary. The free range eggs and organic vegetables are in the backyard, and the pastured bacon is curing from last week's butchering.

Nightclubs, I'll grant you. But I don't need to blow $3k on bottle service for a night with my wife.
I don’t have to. Using a Gish gallop of bad arguments doesn’t impose some moral imperative on me to prove every single one wrong.
Are any NFTs at all actually on chain? First time I hear about this.
The rest of the world uses litres instead of gallons.
Much easier to then convert to weight by using molar mass of petrol and volume.
At the same time that is largely a problem of the colder areas. In more sane (temperature wise) places, that energy cost is negligible.

Also, that assumes you are the only one (or the other person (s) in the house have very similar schedules) in the house.
An assumption which if you have a house wife and a few kids, is largely invalid
Hey everyone! I wrote the words for this article but our team put in a ton of work to put this together. Just a plug that we'd love to get feedback on our design and have started a Github discussion here https://github.com/stargate/stargate/discussions/1381. Thanks!
This reminds me a bit of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) [1] which is used heavily by the medical, automotive, and aerospace industries. Basically you try to think of all the ways that a device or process will fail, what the hazards are from those failures, and how easy it is to detect them. Then based on the risks you've uncovered, you try to mitigate the worst ones (high likelihood, low detectability, worst outcomes - e.g. death).

Nice, but the problem I have with this and similar techniques is that if you zoom out sufficiently far, then you don't see a difference with the original image. This is not how "anime" is supposed to work.
AWS engineer from the container services team here. One small point of clarification on "AppRunner charges for deploys": We only charge for deploys if you are using App Runner's built-in integration to watch your repo, and automatically build/rebuild your container image from source code.

This is not a required feature for App Runner to function though. For example if you are using Copilot with App Runner you can drive the build and release to App Runner from your local dev machine, so there is no extra deployment charge beyond what it costs you for electricity to build your container on your own laptop. You only get charged for App Runner deployment automation when you are using AppRunner as a Github Actions / Jenkins replacement to do the Docker image build on the server side.
Great article, a lot of useful commands for those that work programming in the DB.
Imho, a speaker is an electroacoustic transducer, converting electric current into sound, or at least anything that can output the sound of arbitrary input devices.

If it has apps, then it's instead a computer or a stereo system with built-in speakers.

So I find speakers a misleading name for this contraption, unless it has an input of some sort that you can connect what you want to.

This is a good point that I had not, in fact, considered.
It's also great when other people do this - because it's a dead canary when you start seeing people's emails with +website being collected and shared. I remember like 6 years ago when someone compiled and publicly shared a list of emails&passwords. By simply grep'ing the +websitename out of the email I found that there were easily 800+ unique websites that leaked their login emails and passwords after some validation. I made a comment on reddit about it and some articles that cited it got millions of hits, but people have seemingly forgot since then that finding name+website@gmail.com being shared in lists is a good canary in the coal mine for hacked websites.

Ownership is legal right, so to own a digital token you would need some kind of title to the token. Without a title you don't really own it, just like you don't own a house without the proper paperwork that says you own it.
> Arguing that test proctoring software is transphobic is such a stretch that it makes you question whether they author has such strong biases against the software that their evaluation of it is just generally too biased to be trustworthy.

It seems like the software is matching people against existing images, based on the issue with the black student, and trans people are I would assume more likely to change their appearance, including as a result of taking hormones and having facial feminization/masculinization surgeries.

Jesus man. Mild criticism about an obscure API, of interest to perhaps a literal handful of people, is "throwing MS under the bus" ?
It’s really amazing that these companies can afford these kinds of compensation commitments and still make payroll and remain competitive in the marketplace. Wild how much of a competitive moat that size is.
I put all paper documents I receive on top of a stack. Therefore it's roughly sorted by date.

If I need to get an invoice from last december, I just lookup around this date in my stack.

Time spent to store information : 0 ; time spent to find something : a few minutes, once every other month.

Every five years, I take the bottom of the stack and file it in the cellar. And I come back from the cellar with 10 year old documents I can either trash (in my office secured bin) or keep in my filing box.

I also keep contracts (insurance, bank, ...) in this filing box.

Last thing : All documents that will be used for my tax returns (at least the equivalent of it in France) go in one folder. I will use it once a year then file this in the "taxes" box.
I’m not in architecture, but I am a painter and I took university courses on it (my degree is in advertising, but I was good enough at drawing that the art profs let me run with the seniors in a couple upper level classes).

They are not teaching aesthetics any more. They threw away the casts and teach ‘concept’. Students aren’t taught how to approach Michelangelo’s David, they’re taught how to approach Duchamp’s fountain. I heard a professor espouse that Twombly was some enormous departure from Pollock, an artistic revolution as great a distance as Picasso from Velasquez.
