> It's rare to see a German woman embrace her softer side or act playfully in public.

I don’t know what your age is but this is far from my experience.

In a professional context, no more or less playful / joking than men (this varies a lot by context, of course). But outside work, yes, in public, sure.
> For some reason, the hotel business seems pretty shady.

Any business where people in charge have no affinity with the end product automatically becomes shady. The only source of pride for these people is to rake in more money, so it's even difficult to blame them.
>HN doesn't show dislikes

It sort of does; comments go from black to grey to the point where its nearly invisible.
> -vo=caca

Ironically, the video output called "caca" comes from "libcaca", "a graphics library that outputs text instead of pixels". The irony comes from "caca" meaning "poop" in Spanish, so the video output is named "poop", which seems fitting.
I often think about this XKCD from years ago: https://xkcd.com/1425/

"When a user takes a photo, the app should check whether they're in a national park..."

"Sure, easy GIS lookup. Gimme a few hours."

"... and check whether the photo is of a bird."

"I'll need a research team and five years."
How to Not COP It – Part 3: Low Carbon Heating
Ruby does imo. Go looks incomprehensible to me and I can't stand its lack of expressiveness. This is all a matter of opinion, to you Go wins because you know Go well or like Go better, to me vice versa. There is no objective truth here.
There is no bot to fire here though, as it's not employed.
Bottlenecks in software development and how to reduce them
How exactly do you identify where your bottleneck is, and what do you need to do after identifying it?

I want to challenge the assumption that the fundamentals (however we define them) can only be taught through a degree. This clearly isn't the case - everything you cover at university is freely available online for anyone who is interested in learning it. Plenty of people out there don't have CS degrees but have great fundamentals.

What OP would be missing out on is the social aspect of university and the lack of credentials in the future. I agree that lack of a degree can definitely hurt you or completely disqualify you for certain positions. There's also potentially negative status that comes with not having a degree or being someone who wasn't commited/capable/hardworking enough to finish what they started. (This last part obviously isn't necessarily true but the perception could be there anyway)
The tradeoff there is that due to the angle of incidence, for a given area of the moon's surface you get a lot less energy. That means angling your panels vertically and spreading them out very widely to capture the same energy as you would at the equator. Or build a huge solar panel wall as high as you can that rotates.
How and Where to Document Software?
> Sorry you had to pave the way.

It's something I think we're all used to, and will likely always be the case, because non-elderly blind people are such a tiny minority (perhaps we're even over-represented here on HN).
If you have that ability, you can also smash a comet into any city on Earth.
> To assume that the alleged victim is lying would be incredibly harmful

> many more people would refuse to make an accusation if they weren't going to be believed

Of course. That's the point. Why should people be able to accuse others of serious crimes without one shred of evidence?

Are people innocent or guilty by default? That's what this boils down to.

> There are significantly fewer false allegations than real ones.

Does it matter how many false allegations are made? If there's a chance that it could be false, you must assume it is until proven otherwise.

Fundamentally, this is an issue of false positives and false negatives. Most societies are founded on the principle that false negatives are better than false positives: better to let a criminal go free than convict an innocent. It seems at some point western societies experienced an inversion of values: now it's better to convict innocents than let a criminal go free.

This is dangerous. The potential for abuse is obvious.
Did you actually hear him talk? There is no need to be insecure about your body’s abilities. Not only “alfa” males can do things. “He can do it you can (potentially) do it” sounds quite proven to me, do you disagree? So the only question (for me) is “can he do what he says he can”.
Ah. You’re right and thanks. I had read that post, but from the use of the trademark assumed that YouTube Vanced was some other YouTube offering that I also didn’t care about, not that it was a 3rd party app that bypassed ads.
I still have a now very old Quad amp (and a tuner, but there is nothing for it to tune to anymore). Indestructible and sounds great. I got it for very little money and have been offered large multiples of what I paid for it but it will be a heirloom some day. The stuff that was built back then will live forever because it was service friendly, as opposed to the disposables built today.
It was interesting that you can represent groups, but what can you do with that representation? And the exponential growth in the number of states seems to make them unwieldy to work with.

My natural reaction to head lines like this: a lot has been said in the past and by chance a few are right. After reading the article this seems to be more than just a claim but backed with some substance and that's interesting.
I’d say this is a problem of compounding. The odds of any kid going on to get a PhD in math (or any subject) is vanishingly small, and is impacted by outcomes at every level of education preceding grad school. Saying that math is racist because there are few black phds in the subject neglects the law of large numbers. Few secondary teachers really understand math at a deep enough level to be inspirational… If kids from disadvantaged backgrounds are not shown how beautiful and useful math can be, what motivation would we expect there to be that could carry them far enough in the subject to get a phd in it?
In one of Rick Atkinson's trilogy on the US Army in WW II, some general is quoted as remarking that under WW II rules, Robert E. Lee and some other prominent general--Grant or Sherman would probably qualify for the example--would have been removed from command and sent off to training duties.
That depends on how it failed. Sometimes rectifiers fail open and there is no problem, other times they fail closed and then you might end up having to replace all of the semiconductors that that particular rectifier fed.

Assuming you looked at or seriously considered the i3 - in what way(s) was it 'not good enough' for you to stick to your favorite brand?

I'm not a big BMW person but I always liked the i3. I never got that close to buying one so I'm open to the idea there's some big catch or drawback I just didn't look closely enough to see.
Talk to someone who builds and maintains windmills, and ask them how they would be doing without subsidies.
I was with you until your last statement.

It extremely easy to make it a meritocracy: just impose an externally-graded exam at the end. Then, the students cannot cheat (because it won't be their teachers grading them), and the teachers don't have an incentive to cheat (because high grades with low final exam will reveal their fraud).

Philips used to be amazingly service friendly, to the point of having a special store where they sold all of the parts to all of their gear, from washing machines to tape recorders and everything in between. It was called the Philips TSC and it really helped my keeping a whole neighborhoods electrical gear in working order (and by extension: to keep me in dough to satisfy my endless need for electronics parts and test and measurement gear).
note: what follows is a reflection on my own limitations, not Pierce's or the book's.

I found working my way through it tough going. I'm not a natural mathematician, and found the "formalisation first" approach quite difficult to deal with. I would definitely have found it easier if each type judgement (formula) had a natural language description to go with it: intuition to complement the formality. The code helped in that regard.

That's a comment I have with many mathematical / formal texts. I wish authors would write down, in natural language, what they 'hear' in their heads when they read an equation on the page. Some at least have a reference (e.g. "read an upside down 'A' as 'forall'"). (I know it's more nuanced than that: someone experienced with type judgements won't interpret them literally. But even still, they could 'read out' what they see on the page).

Having said all that: I did find the book helpful and insightful. Just quite difficult to parse and assimilate the formal content. It certainly gave me a much better appreciation of type systems.
The moon’s area is about 38 million km², so that would be ‘only’ about 200 persons/km².

That’s less then I would have guessed (cities can have tens of thousands of people/km²), but still way over the current world average (excluding water areas) of about 15/km².
It’s conceivable that in the future, coding will be so easy it won’t exist as a specialized job anymore. Consider how the web dev career of making websites for small local businesses has been substantially replaced by squarespace, which can be thought of as a tool for which the input is a very high level specification and the output is html/css/js/backend code. And the specification is high level enough that you can ask your mom to use it - it won’t shock me if we see this happen to more industries
Stay in school and get your degree. Also don't change your major if you're interested in working in software in the future.

You might not be completely screwed if you drop out but there's a lot of potential downside and no upside apart from the short term personal gratification you might get from dropping out.
When it's about security, I try not to pick and choose.

Plus a memory error might lead to scary consequences (like a random script getting elevated privileges).

Finally, and last I checked, `rg` is quite featureful and I've never felt constrained by it. So for me it's a win all around.

Earth still needs the carbon, just preferably not so much in the air.
Yes, very efficient. Meanwhile nearly all of the peasantry subsisted on rice and suffered from malnutrition and frequent birth defects.

Also, this has nothing to do with capitalism. It's just exchange of money which had existed long before that system first developed in the city states of Italy.
One of the few genres of YouTube videos I can stand is "old man dismantles electronics". It's a very peaceful and educational genre.

The latter channel is perhaps not great for children because of his somewhat relaxed attitude toward mains voltage, but it's great for me.

That says pretty appalling things about Western capitalism in general that it is predicated on government (ie, public) backstops, protected from the market, socialism for the rich/elite, and not available to the little people. Starts to look like the worst of communism, frankly.

Real Time Location Using Ultra-Wideband (UWB)
PG has a perspective that is fairly unique in this, both in quantity and in quality. But it is somewhat limited to the SV investment scene which is unique on the planet.

Elsewhere, associates do a lot of the legwork making sure that a VC can cope with the deluge of investment proposals. If you have access to a partner, by all means, use it. But if you're going around cap-in-hand looking for investment get used to dealing with associates. We see about 40 deals per year and the bulk of those have significant contributions from the VC associates.

Some of these are great and effective, some not so great, some downright terrible. It all depends on the firm and even on that particular associate. There are even firms where it is probably more effective to go through an associate because they can effectively become your champion inside the VC.

This almost feels like it’s just standard operating procedures.

No, the question is why value softness so highly when you cannot survive without "hardness", when as a soft woman, you cannot even feed your children.
Softness will lead to death.
Yes,I have little doubt that the rate won't remain as low as they are now for much longer. I don't know if that will be at the next meeting or in Q1 2022 though.
I cannot recall anything concrete but from HN and other tech news platforms I heard only bad things about the platform.
I suspect that the number of arcade machines the world might need would require only a small fraction of the discarded hardware available. Much of the discarded hardware will require labor-intensive repair work, offsetting any profits, and then there's the maintenance of those recycled machines to consider. You might have noticed that arcades have disappeared now that people can game with consoles and PCs at home.

> It's not hard being faster than zip if you are not compressing/uncompressing

Actually, since CPUs are so fast and disk IO is so slow, it is essentially impossible to beat a properly tuned program that reads data from disk and decompresses it on the fly using one that doesn't use compression at all.
Yea so we’ll have to just not do that
If I'm not mistaken, Sun has made that mistake more than once. Bryan Cantrill has often pointed out that the original name of Solaris zones was Kevlar.
I find it unfortunate that the "invisible hand" is somehow seen as a real force of nature. It's a spooky, ideological term that implies some kind of simple generality describing a system that is everything but simple. Additionally it is used as a bad excuse for exploitative, oppressive or otherwise shitty behavior - which is ironic, because that is exactly the thing that is claimed _not_ to happen by definition.

There are real firms in highly competitive markets that have been doing well for decades or even more than a hundred years without putting the profit motive above everything else, but have favored long term stability, cooperation, servicing customers, respecting workers and so on.

> Yeah, I'm one of them. And I too use to think it was all me and my aptitude and merit and hard work. Now, it makes me cringe how I could ever think that. With age I've realized how privileged I was, and how many people who really worked far harder than me and still didn't get ahead.

Same. For me, though, it took going back and becoming a teacher to see how privileged I was. Mom was a teacher, both parents at home and contributed to my education from an early age (like, doing math as soon as I could talk "How many people are in the car? What if your grandparents were here? Your uncle? What if we took the grandparents away?", etc), etc. My friend group was all in the same situation. Two parents at home, etc. It wasn't until I came back to the school that I realized how insulated I had been and how it wasn't me that was the reason I did so well (Valedictorian), but the support I had behind me that enabled me to do it.
Yep, anecdodltally i ran an experiment on this. Trick is that ppl are in "networks". Find somebody you think is in your target network who got low followers to following ratio and send a request, do this 5ish times. Then go based on recommendations and ppl will see "oh that account follow these other ppl i know lemme accept a follow request".

What also seems to be missed is that it’s trivial to foil such attacks in an automated way. The work required on Apple’s end would be smaller than that of the attackers.

Complaints about the proposal seem to overly focus on the reliability of singular aspects of the automated detection system when this has already been planned for - additionally those comments seem entirely unaware of the threshold technology in play.

Yeah, that's what I don't get: if you're going to invest effort and energy into reversing the oxidation of some element, why not choose carbon and decompose CO2? It will require non trivial amounts of energy either way.
I hope so? I'm old, and I had never even imagined that "black face" had outlived minstrelsy before all these politicians started showing up with it. Anyone younger than 60 who has such a picture is unsuited to positions of authority.

The purpose of school is train children to function in the real world. I don't understand how you can see a child from a disadvantaged background and say "let's help them by teaching them less"?

If you wanted to help kids from a disadvantaged background, probably the best way would be to make it harder for them to get good grades. Make them work twice as hard as the other kids for the same grade, that will really make up for their background and place them in the lead.
That was my point if you read my comments again.

US companies in Europe pay that much, but there are only a handful of jobs (let's say 0.01% of jobs), and outside of US companies you can't even find that. Outside of US companies you need to be, as I called it "beyond-senior-level-individual-contributor", i.e. a god in your field to reach that. So you have to add 2 more zeroes after the dot, 0.0001%. They're both even rarer and also <<super>> hard to get.
I came to the same conclusion - the cost/progress ratio is still pretty high for the field.
> Does everything need to have an application in order to be useful?

By definition yes. Other things can be enjoyable, of cultural or historical interest, or just interesting pieces of knowledge, but to claim that something is useful is to claim it has applications.
Yes and my thinking is to leverage this recycling old tec to reassign it one household one machine that only requires part replacement not full replacement and these parts are made from recycled hardware.

I don't understand this thread, since it's not based in reality.

VCs rarely (never) say, "No.", since:

- there's no advantage to them in closing a door like that

- they can wait and invest in a later round when there is an advantage to them (social proof, VC competition, etc.)

The only time I've actually heard "No." is for a pr0n site, and that was just a blanket policy at the time.

If they're talking down about metrics, then that's just evasion so they don't have to say "No."

The other interesting conversation I had was at a conference where a few of us were talking in a circle in the hallway. The VC said, "I'm a startup investor, you're a startup maker." indicating in the mind of VC's there's 2 clear classes of people.

He who has the gold, makes the rules.
