I guess you are a big fan of f-strings too :D

While I see the point of them in their terseness, I am not a big fan because they blur the line between strings and code (eg. mark the f-string as translatable, and suddenly translators can easily introduce security bugs and expose sensitive data from locals()).

The idea of fn"" strings have all the same bad properties, but are even worse: you want people to start programming in strings vs. in keywords, and for what gain? IDEs will have a harder time syntax correcting, and it'll be easier to make mistakes (do you allow meta-programming fn-strings?)

It does not help your case that your example can already be achieved in Python with `if n2 < n1 < n3:` (or `if n1 < n2: print "underflow"...). But even then, it seems you are disliking the regular function syntax and would prefer an option to move to more infix operators (many of which can be redefined in Python, but people don't do it too much because it's confusing if the semantics are not obvious to the reader).

Can you come up with an example where using strings is more readable and less confusing than regular syntax?

Rivian makes pickup trucks. Pickup trucks exclusively sell in North America.

The tech world has gotten used to insane margins and winner take all outcomes in sub-industries. The car industry is nothing like this. The margins are slim, and the total sales numbers across the world don't change as much for each price bracket.

Tesla is squarely coming for GM, Ford and Fiat-Chrysler's market, which have a collective networth of $200b. I can't for the love of me understand how Tesla is worth 5x that, even when their sales are about 10% of that. Even if Tesla fully replaces them by increasing their sales by 10x, surely they would have to deal with the same kind of low margin that all of these automakers are working with. Isn't the absolute dream-world case outcome for Tesla, still only 20% on its way to justifying the stock price ?

Now let's say Tesla is literally run by superhuman teams that let them take over any adjacent market. So, they push out CATL ($200b) from batteries, push out Uber from ride-sharing ($80b) and control the entire world robotics market ($20b). So 200+200+80+20 = $500b. That's still only 50% of the way to their current market cap.

What am I missing here ? Why is their market cap as big as MSFT/AAPL/GOOGL when Tesla is nothing more the most exciting car manufacturer in the world. It is a big, but the other trillion dollar companies literally intersect with every aspect of your life.

All my statements about Tesla apply to Rivian too.
> As the interviewee, I understand that the worst anyone can do to me is waste my time because either our values don't align, the project isn't interesting, my skills aren't a fit, or there are simply better candidates out there.

There's also the matter that a rejection could mean you're deprived of a potential livelihood. That's high stakes since it's connected to your survival. This might be an exaggerated stress, but the connection to motivation is there.

And as in all situations where one is being judged, one's ego is also being tested. To many, an interview rejection might not mean anything. To others, it could call into question their skills, their status as an engineer, their very person into being. Again, that is an exaggeration, but it is valid. Software has become a very competitive industry, and the corporate rhetoric that floats around ("doing the best job of your career", "make your job your life"), can have a very totalizing effect on people's self-perceptions.

Even on a mundane level, because software interviews are notoriously opaque and most places don't provide feedback, candidates are left guessing what they did wrong afterwards. It's not necessarily a big puzzle, but having the uncertainty of knowing what one's flaws are is an inherently anxious feeling.

You seem to have a very strong opinion of your experiences, of your capability as an interviewer, and your organization's interviewing process. That's great! Bully for you. But you absolutely cannot extrapolate your own experiences for the entire industry. If all interviewers were as anxiety-reducing as you say, then this discussion thread wouldn't even exist. You are not the industry.
What is a Digital Nomad? I sometimes wonder if I'm one. In a world where careers (like people had in the 80, 90s and earlier) are dead and gone, where corporations want employees to move around as serifs, does that make us all digital nomads? Unable to put down roots, to build personal value, to afford a house? (As if sufficient housing has been built at any time during my lifetime anywhere close to where I would like to live...)
Well done! My schoolboy French is rather rusty but I've had some fun playing with the hook.

This is a "describe your holiday" effort that starts with "I've just returned from Spain":

"Je suis de retour d'Espagne ! Ces vacances étaient géniales. Ce que j'ai préféré : -Les tapas de la côte andalouse, tout simplement : jambon de pays, chorizo, patatas bravas, calamars... -Le paysage dans les montagnes autour de"

The punctuation is a bit randomly spaced out and Spain is summarized in food from one region and a strange mountain reference. Another go:

"Je suis de retour d'Espagne ! Ces vacances étaient géniales. Ce que j'ai préféré : la plage, la mer, les jeux dans le sable, le soleil, la glace pour l'après-midi (et l'eau fraîche), les paysages, la bonne"

A bit weird: The holiday was OK. It was what I like: sand and sea and the sun. The ice at midday (and the fresh water) ...

That's all fine by me. It does not matter that it isn't quite finished let alone polished. The key thing is that someone is doing this.

I am a staunch anglophone but I think we need diversity and this is a great jump on that path. A "French first" model and open (libre!) is a boon for all. Hopefully other languages will be championed in a similar way. It would be nice if someone did this for English.

This sort of thing is too important to be locked up in commercial silos. I have no idea what it should look like, let alone be governed but some sort of "Commons" looks appropriate to me.
I think the first step is making EDA (electronic design automation) more accessible. Right now, even if you could do the fabrication yourself, doing a real, useful design would be just as challenging because the tools are all proprietary and expensive.

First off, oil is a global commodity, so it's not true that you can just isolate yourself from global price movements.

Second, how many soldiers in the Chinese PLA or PLAN have ever fired a weapon against a hostile force? The US has spent the better part of two decades in an active war environment. For better or worse, there's value to having actual experience with large-scale invasions. It's not being "ground into dusty incompetence", it's being battle-tested.

Third, the US military doctrine since WWII has been about fighting two wars at once. We can certainly protect Taiwan and the Persian Gulf at the same time. If we couldn't, then any intervention wouldn't be credible because the second we invade a nation, all other strategic objectives would be at risk.
> it cured the losers of glorifying war. Maybe Afghanistan can do the same?

Afghanistan hasn't glorified any wars. Did you forget that the US invaded Afghanistan, not the other way around?
An opinion can be founded on incorrect conclusions generated from incomplete data.

Poverty + racism + the powers that be identifying black people as "super predators" and touting that they are more likely to arrest and more harshly punish black people for crimes != black people are criminal.

The system nurtures poorer black people to be more criminal than white people. It's not the nature of any group of people to be criminal or as a rule to intentionally flout societal norms.

There is no genetic component of that scenario.

Therefore, it is not that black people are fundamentally bad and unfixable. Any failings that you can find inexorably lead back to the flaws of the system itself.

If it is that the system itself is flawed and moldy and in desperate need of repair, and the people who refuse to so much as ponder whether there could be an explanation other than "black people are bad", well, it is safe to say that those people are in thrall to the powers that be, servants to the status quo; they are people who do no directly racist thing and yet, as if by a dark satanic miracle, are racist due to their own willful ignorance.

WhatsApps security used to rely on the signal protocol, a (fairly) open source protocol that you could implement and verify yourself (and I did).

It now has backups which rely on 'trusted' hardware security modules in Facebook's data centers.

You only need a normal consumer heat gun to detach them. It's a big hair dryer. It's not the rocket science people make it out to be. I guess they have one in the back.
I've really been getting into organization just by chronology lately. I don't separate notes by topic anymore, I just write all notes chronologically with dates to break up days. This way I can always flip back through the pages around the time I was working on something to find what notes I took.

I wonder if there are any digital document organizers like this. Something you just drag and drop important digital documents you want to keep track of and it automatically adds date and time information so you can browse through them in the order they've been added.

NativLang did a video on the Altaic theory. I think 'defunct' is more appropriate than 'not widely accepted'. The accepted explanation for the shared features is a language area. Languages can take features from other nearby languages without needing them to share a common ancestor.

Someone remember the board game "the crazy maze" (German: das verrückte Labyrinth), as I reconcile properly, there also, is always a way out in a procedural generated, dynamic, labyrinth .. the aim is to get out. Somehow.

So for this to work fixed tiles and movable ones are needed. Fixed tiles lower/limit the possibilities/entropy and moveable tiles can be positioned the way pointing to the proper direction/fixed tile as a bridge between the rows of moveable tiles..
(https://images.app.goo.gl/1sq1jjF6va5P9ubJA)

So I think the table they found are these fixed tiles with their orientations. The generator can choose from left or right oriented "movable tile" .. the table holds the proper orientation of the fixed tiles. I would do so. Generation in series would mean there is a cluster of fixed tiles which will be rotated and repeated.

You only get in content ads on specific streams which are easy to avoid unless you think the content is actually worth it.
Depends on the specifics. In this case one of the two companies involved is headquartered in the EU, so the mechanisms are the same as if two EU companies were trying to buy eachother.

Now if we assume a more interesting situation where neither of the companies are headquartered in the EU, but still do business in the EU. Then the number of mechanisms shrinks, but not by much. The EU could just fine the companies out of existance for not complying. See examples of the EU fining Microsoft, Google, or Facebook. Not that they stopped existing, but it shows that the EU can successfully fine these companies. Another example more closely related to buying is ARM. ARM is owned by a Japanese company, and Nvidia (a US company) is seeking to buy it. Yet the EU is looking into whether they'll allow it. [1]

The fewest options are in the case where both companies are fully located outside the EU and do no business in the EU. However if some of their subcontractors are in the EU, then go back to the paragraph above. Now if these two companies are are fully, along with their full supply chain, outside of EU jurisdiction. Then the options get pretty slim. Most efficient mechanism probably being diplomatic talks. EU diplomats could ask a country that has jurisdiction (say the US) to block the sale, and in return the US would get some sweet gains elsewhere. Classic diplomatic bargaining.

Of course they know this is poor UI design. It's on purpose because it makes mega bucks and hundreds of millions of dollars at google scale

Bad UI makes money by tricking people into clicking on links. It's a well know fact, and Google would not be as big of a company as it is now without the poor ui design that makes them money.
The 1970s is before the era when manufacturers really focused on trying to get big sound out of little speakers. In the 1970s, if you wanted big sound, you got big speakers! Modern speakers are often (not always) designed to be small and inefficient, because you can always just pump more power into them... modern amplifiers are so efficient that you can just throw energy away like that.

The old speakers I've heard are not remotely flat. But they do sound big, and fun, and maybe you can just EQ out the speakers with a modern receiver's room correction.

Tuvalu is growing in size.

So, I know most people on HN are just environmental junkies tied to the environmental industrial complex's teat.

But it's pretty cool for the rest of us normies, we are making islands and will continue to make islands. Tuvalu will just keep on growing.

It's important to keep them beautiful as they grow, that means not just filling in the atoll or something crazy but growing into the sea, but as technology gets better hopefully they will just get more beautiful. That's what we need to keep on top of. Continue to increase their size but keep them beautiful.

The silicon is the same, sure. However the socket, motherboard, and related are sadly unique. Doubly confusing is there are single socket specific Epyc chips as well. Chips like the 7313p (zen3/milan for a single socket) fit the future TR product segment perfectly, but it's shipping today and fits Epyc boards instead of the rare/expensive TR pro motherboards.

Seems silly, does AMD really need two different/incompatible sockets for a 16-64 core CPU with 8 channels of DDR4-3200?

It just divides the market, decreases volume per product, and makes everything more expensive. The TR (and TR pro) motherboards and CPUs are low volume speciality items, priced a a premium, and seem to have no advantages over the epyc flavor.
True... today there is lossless streaming in abundance and speaker systems that are very good for a reasonable price.
I bought some bose home speaker today for my office and its amazing how good they sound.... and I got one of those "high end" systems at home.
It's very easy to claim that you are not racist and that your views are based on statistics when the statistics themselves only show what they show because of the effects of decades of directed, focused and intentional racism.
It's unclear how these cities were exactly ranked by category, e.g. how London is supposedly the #1 cultural city. The methodology page [0] simply lists EuroMonitor, MasterCard, Time Out, and World Stadiums as sources for Cultural Attractions. Seems pretty arbitrary.

Most cities are pretty expensive to live in. As a DN, the main thing I care about is how complex the visa process is and what kinds of visas are available. Then, the public transportation situation. The rest can be subjective, and expenses etc can be lowered by not living directly in the city.

edit: The thing about these sorts of rankings are they're just subjective. I would say Seoul deserves a significantly higher rating, but I actually speak Korean and value what Seoul offers. If you don't speak Korean or care about public transportation etc, then Seoul is going to have a much lower ranking. Similarly, Germany is just less appealing to me because I speak little German. (I know many people speak English there, but life is just far easier when you speak the primary language.)

I wonder if Likes / Views is a good proxy for dislikes?
I too mostly watch woodworking/metalworking. If I ignore the “current events” row of videos that I haven’t clicked on in years (because they are incredibly boring and oversimplify complex topics), less than 1% of my recommendations are political. I wonder how YouTube decides which videos to allow in that special row. Most of them don’t have nearly as many views/hour as my usual recommendations.
Yeah, they said small not young.

What I mean by "break" is runaway inflation or hyperinflation. That doesn't mean the whole system collapses. The rising debt or money supply is not a problem - the problem is its second derivative - how fast rising increases and how connected it is with underlying economy. And this points to a kinda dire future at the moment.
Have to say, having grown up there and moved away for uni, it's quite a nice city. I have friends and family across the globe, people that I knew growing up, and of all the places, Cph is probably one of the best:

- Town centre has everything in close proximity, and is walkable. It's reasonably dense too, so chances are you don't have to walk far.

- The lakes give the place breathing room that is unlike any other city. They're large but not like a river where there's very limited crossings. Eg by comparison London is very much cut in two by the Thames.

- There's a whole theme park right in the middle of town, you don't have a to do a whole day trip in a car to get to it. And there's another one just north of town, also easily accessed by train.

- Public transport works, even for kids. Can't stress how big a deal I've found this to be once I discovered it having moved to other cities. You can cycle in many, many places too, including as a kid. That mobility really means you can have quite a different social life to many other places. You don't need your parents to drive you everywhere, and you can do several things the same day.

- Yes, taxes are high. But if you're remote, how long do you really want to be there anyway? It's cold and dark in the winter. Summers are perfect, sun is out late but not too late, weather is warm but not oppressive.

- Everyone speaks English. Even kids.
