I agree with what you're saying about the introduction and I think a lot of this depends on the exact type of article you're writing for. I also think the other has some point on the intro text. I work in optical telecom and many papers start with "the exponential increase in data demands over the last decades..." literally everyone in our field knows this. You don't need to be that general in technical conference papers. However if you write for e.g. Nature, Science or another high impact journal, the sentence is important because outsiders don't necessarily know about this.

Regarding the conclusion, I disagree with you and the author at least for short (2-4 Page) conference contributions. The Committee members are reading ~50-100 papers and often they read the abstract, intro and conclusion in detail and look at the figures. Those things will get your paper accepted. Essentially you want to stake your claims explain why they are important and show that you actually did what you claim. That should be seen from those things alone. That often means it should be possible to understand the paper/results from the conclusion. This is not a novel with some great reveal. That said, don't just summarize your paper draw conclusions.
> Am I receiving ownership of the Constitution in exchange for my donation?
> No. You are receiving a governance token, not fractionalized ownership. Governance includes the ability to advise on (for illustrative purposes) where the Constitution should be displayed (...)

So some anonymous group is raising money to buy the constitution and in exchange you get voting rights? Which they totally pinky-promise will adhere to. Oh, and it's crypto, so it's a token.

This sounds like Victor Lustig selling the eiffel tower but with technology.
Do you know how safe the resulting crystals are to handle?
> Bikeshedding is...

Frequently statements which start like this also, unintentionally, tend to be great examples of bikeshedding themselves.
We get letters from Comcast almost every week asking us to switch to Comcast Business at our office, and we're on Comcast Business! (they are literally the only internet provider in our town and their max upload is 40mbps...)

So frustrating.

Once upon a time, google chat (neé gchat) _was_ that killer app. For a brief time there was glorious federated communication between several IM vendors, self hosted open source servers, and gchat.

Then google killed it all by dropping xmpp/jabber support in gchat, and others soon followed.
For testing purposes, you can achieve similar results with Selenium IDE. You can export tests and upload these to (our website) https://testingbot.com - supports screenshots and scheduled runs.
I think it's very unlikely they won't be able to find some organisation to host the document.

For an organisation like a museum, who already have secure climate controlled storage, and are already open to the public, it would cost next to nothing extra to keep it.

Yet merely having a copy of the constitution will get many more people through the doors to buy postcards in the shop and coffee in the cafe. That will far outweigh the added costs.
Yeah, I can actually see that. It took me a little bit of trial and error to get mine set up the way I like them... I actually have different sized tips in the left & right ears. I guess that's just anatomy for ya.
The company isn't going to drag someone through 4 separate interviews if they're not serious about hiring.

One of the reasons it's staggered is so the company or the candidate can end it early if it's not a good fit. Less time wasted this way.

Frankly, I'm kind of shocked by the resistance HN has to spending a couple hours interviewing with a company. You're going to spend several years of your life working with this company. Is it really a dealbreaker if they ask their candidates (included your future coworkers) to participate in a few extra hours of discussion and confirmation?

In the real world, I offer to schedule interviews on lunch breaks, before or after work, or on weekends if that works better for people. Practically speaking, most developers (especially WFH/remote) have zero problems finding time during the day for a 1-2 interview session. That's equivalent a long lunch break or a quick errand.

In practice, I've never had anyone decline an interview for lack of time and very few people ever take me up on my offer for flexible interview hours of their choosing. Most people are eager to get to talk to the company, hear about the job, and show the company what they can do.
It is commonly understood that plants do not have the same mechanisms to experience a range of emotions (pain, happiness, sadness, etc.) as fish, birds, and other animals do.

Further, if we want to abstract away from a mechanistic understanding and focus purely on a reduction of suffering, then veganism should be your goal. Most crop production is simply for animal feed. Eliminating animals from our diets would dramatically decrease the amount of plants we destroy.
Why give governance tokens? The second blurb there states they wish to hand it over to some place that can house it open to the public free of charge, but then later state the purpose of giving you a governance token in exchange for contributing to the auction bid pool is you get a say in what will be done with it. It sounds like they've already decided what to do with it. Give it to a public national museum. Reserving the right to take it back and do something else instead doesn't make much sense. I'd rather fund a bid that promises to donate it and relinquish any further rights than get some tradable ownership share I can sell to someone else who decides they want to burn it ten years from now.
Your only argument about nutrition was regarding B12, for which the questionably trademarked product has 130% DV. Then you broaden your conclusion to somehow not addressing climate change?

So i'll address that one. The product is 98% soy with coconut, and sunflower oil to help it cook. Not particularly climate-intensive, soy is a valuable crop to rotate for the soil ecology in a country that produces so much corn to feed your dinner cows.
if SteamOS is worth half a damn then I will be done with Windows forever.
The lossy compression schemes used to be pretty simple, so they're a fast and easy way to reduce file size quickly, as older low-end cameras didn't have a ton of memory (costs money, y'know, and a modern camera has a few GB of RAM nowadays) or sometimes didn't support the newest/fastest card standards. In terms of IQ there is rarely a difference.

Most cameras offer lossless compressed raw these days, some (e.g. the low-end Nikon Zs, and also the flagship Z9) don't even have uncompressed raw anymore, only lossless compressed or a choice of lossy options. Much to the chagrin of some people, a particular Youtuber especially, who make a huge deal out of using uncompressed raw. The person in question doesn't understand what the word "lossless" means and claims there's a difference between losslessy compressed raws and "true uncompressed" raws.
The first job is the hardest, nothing to be ashamed about. Maybe start by observing what skills are in high demand in your area and fill that need. I started by taking lots of small contracts that were 'beneath' my skills like html websites, simple javascript apps, etc. Not proud but even took a $300 contract to do someones homework, lol. Good luck.

Yeah, sometimes atomics perform way better than you expect them to. Check out the linkedlist benchmark in my suite, 12.1 G elements/s on AMD 5700 XT using DX12. That's a respectable fraction of raw memory bandwidth. Carrying over intuition from CPU land, you'd expect it to be very slow.

Looking at the ISA[2] you can get a glimpse of the magic that happens under the hood to make that happen. (Note: this test case is slightly simplified from what's in the repo for pedagogical reasons).

> Mozilla has a 1st amendment right to not trust to CA's, and to tell their users why they don't trust the CA; to boycott a CA; to implement this in code and ship it.

Nothing so far says that Mozilla can't tell its users that EU trusts this but Mozilla doesn't. However it is clear that it is intended to force Mozilla to at least gives the user the choice to trust EU on this.
Pages has actually been GA since April of this year[1] - since then, we've released support for deploy hooks, redirect/custom header files, GitLab support, and as you mentioned above, a Workers function integration.

We have a really excellent team building Pages, and we still think there's a lot of unexplored territory around Pages/Jamstack and how it interacts with serverless and edge functions. Exciting times!

Friendly heads up that there's a fairly well known tool from Atlassian called ChangeSets[1]. Currently a bit over 2k stars on github. It's focus is on helping deal with bumping versions in monorepos.

Not mandatory that you change your name at all, but this could be a potential source of confusion.

SMS has poor end to end security. It's not end to end encrypted, and there's no guarantee of effective transport encryption, and the parties involved may not be trusted.

In the common case, the sender will submit an SMS to an aggregator. The aggregator may send it on to the carrier's gateway, or another aggregator or a 'grey route'. Grey routes are usually things like gsm modems or automated phones with consumer oriented service plans. The carrier's gateway may be operated by a third party, and is hooked up to the internal messaging system.

Generally speaking, all of these points log message content for a significant amount of time, and often logs are available in near real time. That's potentially a lot of people who have legitimate access to view the messages in real time; if any of the points in the message flow have a security issue, your messages are vulnerable. And the message flow is opaque.

Sometimes, the over the air part of the messaging isn't well encrypted either, so being in the right place with the right equipment gives you access to the codes, without any insider access.

With respect to your idea... If I'm a common person with one phone and no other computing devices, how do I scan the QR code on the screen from the app I want to login to with the app you've provided. Also, when I lose/drop/etc that single device, how do I get my account back? Account recovery that relies on users to take proactive steps tends to be low success. This is the hard part, and where SMS as 2FA tends to do well; account recovery is outsourced to the phone companies of the world.
"Will the core team receive any of the raised funds for themselves or get compensated in any way from this?

The core team has not received or pre-minted any tokens. Following the purchase of the Constitution, we intend to submit a proposal to be voted on by the community. While this is unusual, we believe that it establishes a precedence of mutual trust between the core team and the backers of the ConstitutionDAO."

So anyone who funds this has to trust that a) You are not a dog, b) ConstitutionDAO will use the money to buy the copy of the constitution, c) All extra money will be returned, d) The above mentioned proposal will be in the interests of the community, and e) ConstitutionDOA will abide by the above mentioned vote.

Setting all of that aside, what mechanism exists for a "governance token" to actually have any power in this relationship at all?
"Even 4x2 hour interviews is still only the equivalent of a single workday."

So about $400 of labor?

Neither the prospective employee or employer get a good 'feel' of each other because both are giving 'performances' in a completely different context than actual work.

No one has any real, statistically valid and logically sound, data on hiring practices. It's all dogma & "intuition".
To be fair I can imagine that a number of museums would jump at the chance to be essentially donated an original copy of the constitution

Cognitive dissonance, plain and simple. This was explained in the Wikipedia article I linked above.

I don't think they would. I think they realize that state-of-the-art HPC code is a small fraction of all the code written. I doubt that these people write ASM instead of Python or JS or C or whatever when doing simple scripts.

Yup!

I believe that they are safe to handle. None of the compounds or elements involved are toxic at moderate doses even if ingested. I personally handled these crystals with bare hands many times.
cool site and idea, here's 3 site UI suggestions

there's a bug when entering text into the regex area which creates new padded elements show up which makes text on the page shift, e.g. https://i.imgur.com/AFBccIn.gif

the line height in the subtitle area could be increased so the text isn't so cramped ( https://i.imgur.com/HReADcS.png )

the background color of the entire page should be darker (or use some other solution) to make the <code> looking text more distinct as code text. ( dark grey on dark blue doesn't really stand out https://i.imgur.com/8Nt9YNl.png )
I should have clarified that I'm Canadian as well. The 8 weeks I refer to are the extended benefits, my wife is taking the other 61.
Fully disagree.
I don’t think comparing the fine to the company’s entire revenue makes any sense. It should be compared to the magnitude of the conduct they are being fined for. If you base the fine for a specific action on the company’s entire revenue, it creates some perverse incentives around corporate structure and leads to all sorts of absurd results.

For example, if breaking the rules to earn 0.1% of revenue leads to the same penalty as breaking the rules to earn 100% of revenue, the company might as well maximize the scale of each rule broken to improve the risk-adjusted return.

More reasonably, a fine should be proportional to the amount of incremental revenue that the company obtained by engaging in the illegal conduct, and that should be multiplied by the odds of getting caught (so the fine can’t be amortized as a cost of doing business).

I think this rhetoric claiming that fines are just a slap on the wrist made sense at some point when we were talking about million-dollar settlements, but now we’re talking billions, and in some cases it’s so much money that the company certainly didn’t increase their revenue by that much by breaking the rules. I feel like people are just repeating the same old argument and they aren’t thinking critically about the numbers. Companies do, in fact, care about being fined billions of dollars! It’s a big deal! That kind of money really does drive corporate strategy! Try asking your CEO for a billion dollars to build a new product if you don’t believe me.
Even when I don't know the answer I manage to
salvage the situation anyway (They asked me what
"regularization" was in a data science interview,
I had no idea, they told me, and then I told
them all the ways I had done regularization.)

Yeah I've found that interviewers are interested in your thought process, not rattling off canned quiz answers.

I do something similar whenever I'm unfamiliar with a term like that in an interview.

First, I never bullshit. I'm VERY upfront about not knowing a thing - but like you I say, "can you define that term for me -- perhaps I know it by another name" and more often than not, yeah, I can talk about how I've been doing it or something similar to it. And if not I get to have a discussion about the term and learn something, at least.

(Tangentially, being upfront about not knowing a thing gives you more authority when you state that you do know a thing...)

This field changes so quickly, I don't think any interviewer ever expects you to know more than a % of the topics broached, but they do expect you to be able to converse reasonably about all of them IMO.
I interviewed with them for a few different positions and worked for them once. Do not recommend. A toxic 'shark tank' like workplace culture and very middling salary.

Win-win-win for Apple with this move. New revenue stream of expensive parts. Those iphone repair shops scattered all over the country that are getting pissed at you - just made them your customers. Keeps people with broke phones in the ecosystem. Puts down calls for legislation about right to repair. Takes a shot at the third-party parts market. Preserves the ability to have the firmware reject 'non-genuine' parts.
Yeah, I remember I used to work at a perl webshop, and I was experimenting with PHP.... I actually lost a half hour or so trying to figure out how to get my site to refresh and rerender, and it turned out it was! But it was so much faster than Perl that I assumed nothing was happening. Hey, I was young, don't be too hard on me!
> and never signed up for their ads using my new address anyways (I wonder how they learned about it, huh).

They target the address and then get the owner's name from public records.
It was even easier to just count with my finger. :)

The point was a sed challenge. Challenges are fun sometimes.

It was also a good exercise for doing things with sed. There are times when sed is the most terse way to shape text to how you want it. It's also very portable.
it has previously been in a private collection, and without constitutiondao would end up in another private collection.

the intention of the dao is clear, display it in a public museum with free entry.

> > The alternative is jumping from your IDE to Tailwind docs unless you are a tailwind expert no

> No, as the class names directly map to CSS key/values and the IDE auto-completes the classes

If true, definitely helpful, but I wouldn't necessarily say I agree with the assertion that it is a direct map. Looking at examples, I see craziness like `w-64` (width?) and `flex-none` (why?), and while I admit it is relatively terse it is quite clearly not just CSS.

> CSS specificity/cascading is part of vanilla CSS.

Yes, of course, but sharing CSS classes between disparate elements is the only time the developer has to consider CSS cascading, and so if you simply outlaw the practice you avoid the mental burden & all associated footguns entirely.

My CSS setup is React components styled with SASS. Each component HAS to expose a `className` hook which blends the consumer-provided className with the component.
i.e. <MyComponent className="SomeOtherClass" /> ==> <div class="MyComponent SomeOtherClass" />

The styles are private to each component, using only a few shared classes such as flex-* which behave as tailwind classes, but don't really specify anything fancy. Reuse of CSS if necessary is done thru mixins, but I generally don't find much need for CSS reuse.

When I want to change my CSS, I just directly use the browser's dev tools, and then port it back myself. If my component exposes some structure, let's say like a ConfirmationModal, then the the classes are extremely easy to spot:
<MyConfirmationModal className="AnotherClass" title={x} onConfirm={someFn} onCancel={someFn} /> ==>

<div class="MyConfirmationModal AnotherClass">
<h3 class="MyConfirmationModal-title">{props.title}</h3>
<div class="MyConfirmationModal-userMessage">{props.userMessage}</div>
<div class="MyConfirmationModal-controls">
<Button text="Confirm" onChange={props.onConfirm} />
<Button text="Cancel" onChange={props.onCancel} />.
</div>
</div>

No shared styles exist. Very easy to reason about. Editing something in dev tools edits something like MyConfirmationModal-userMessage which is going to be very easy to find in code. I usually write it in the browser and "stage" the text into in my CSS file but without saving if I need to modify multiple not-closely-grouped styles, but this isn't really a common flow so I just slap it into dev tools til it looks right then copy-paste into the corresponding block in my SASS structure
> Dishwasher salt is not actually widely available in the US

I am in the Bay Area. I bought some off Amazon no problem. It came from the US too.

> since we we generally don't have dishwashers with built in water softeners that need the salt.

Landlord installed a Bosch dishwasher, which has a water softener. The water is pretty hard (I can see by the shower faucet, and confirmed on the utility website). I'm assuming he didn't bother to import the dishwasher from Europe so it must be available in the US.
I don't think it is due to cool design.

I think it is because using Apple is not mandatory. Apple is an aspirational brand, you use their products because you want to. Microsoft's products are not; they pushed hard their product everywhere, and were difficult to avoid, if you wanted something else. That itself caused a much friction, and when they start to steer you somewhere you don't want to go, their products are not exactly going to be your favorites.
Hope they got insurance.
Debugging a weird 'file not found' error
The webpage says your token just lets you "advise" on what to do with it, which feels completely meaningless. The FAQ says:

>We recognize that much more detail is required here! Due to the unusual and extremely short timeline of needing to rally around obtaining the Constitution during the auction window, we have not been able to focus on giving the technical aspects of DAO governance mechanics the careful consideration and community deliberation this topic requires. The Delegates do not want to simply declare how this will work, and we will be working with the DAO community post-auction to make these decisions.

So definitely completely meaningless.
