How would you see that working?
Cost includes the overhead of packaging, inventory, returns, etc. So it'd generally be cheaper to buy a complete assembled unit retail.

Trying to think of exceptions... Can't think of any. Maybe the Sears & Robuck kit houses?

My father bought us a kit computer. An off the shlef equiv unit would have been cheaper. We paid extra for the priviledge of self assembly.

If the goal is to become a better developer, I 100% agree targeted project based learning is superior.

Sadly, different tactics should be employed when trying to land a job. I've conducted over 100 interviews with people studying for programming interviews over the last 2 months and its wild how many people are just going to leetcode and solving random problems. They think if they solve enough problems, they will get the job, and thats just not the best way to maximize your odds. You need to cement your fundamentals and actually understand the concepts. I usually recommend the algorithm design manual by steven skienna and a few other resources.

The goal of this article was to help those people who are aimlessly solving problems to add some structure to their studying. Hope that clears things up!
On a quick glance, this really caught my eye too. Interesting they chose to go that route. I’ve only been loosely following deno, but this has to be one of the first large companies I’ve seen to use it.

Out of curiosity, is your customdomain in this case something without any personal info on it? I have a custom domain with my first name and last name initial .com, but now I'm thinking if I want this setup, maybe it's better off getting a domain with random words so even if email leaks, no personal data is leaked.

Does it solve any problems which aren’t self-inflicted by the convoluted JS ecosystem and toolchain?
Because it does not solve the problem. Shady online subscription companies can simply put the office somewhere inaccessible and not accept e-mail/calls from customers.

The law should outline mediums that companies must accept. IE have a published webpage or e-mail address that allows unsubscribe.
My initial reaction was "oh, yay, another cheat sheet".

How to add comments in json or TypeScript config files? Commenting is very much needed for any manually written code or config we keep in repositories.
This is a team culture thing. Prompt and professional reviews have to be valued. If you're a senior engineer (or at least senior on a code base), you can add at least as much value to the development process by giving others timely and fair feedback as you can writing your own code—it's a force multiplier.

(Edit) For big changes I've seen people schedule 30-minute review meetings. We all hate meetings but I don't think it's a bad idea.
Do you mean that someone could copy and use the same QR again?

A person intercepting traffic or spoofing a site can copy/tamper/replace the QR code just as they can plain text or binary blobs. QR is just a presentation structure that makes it easier for a camera to translate something into data. For this to be useful there would have to be a boot-strapped chain of custody and chain of trust already installed on the device scanning the QR code meaning you know where that trust came from and you can verify it against a trusted source. If this is not what you meant then where is the end user getting the certs used in this QR code from? Are you embedding the certs in the application? How do people know the application has not been copied/tampered with?
> People make systemd for free and get endless shit about the ways it makes the world worse, google produces chrome for free and gets endless shit

The existence of systemd and chrome have unequivocally made the world a better place. The world would unequivocally be a worse place if they did not exist.

> Besides, lets be clear here: if the goal is to produce and give away videos they don't need to optimize for generating clicks, and therefore ad revenue, do they?

You sound like someone who has never made anything independently in their life. He has chosen to make a living by providing free technical content online. That’s clearly his passion and it’s a net benefit for the world. To support his passion he needs to make sure he can make a minimum profit otherwise he cannot sustain his work of providing you with free content. To support himself he must optimize his view count to get his ad revenue to a minimum amount, as well as generate other revenue sources.

This should all be obvious to any functioning human so either you are completely detached from reality or you have some problem with independent creators needing money to live. But then why? It’s a job like any other, except in his case his job provides you with free high quality technical content.
Of interest is not so much 20TB (which is neat in and of itself!) -- but rather the nature of the recording head, where electrical current is introduced down part of it, in addition to the magnetic field.

Also of interest is the space gaps between various parts of the recording head, how all of this is related to removing magnetic "jitter" in the write process (because the magnetic field is toggled on and off many millions of times per second; that is, it is resonated at a high frequency (otherwise high bpi's on the recording medium would not be possible)).

And of course, this leads to questions (again, think tiny space gap) -- such as "is this effect related to electrical capacitors in any way?", which, if so, leads to questions like "is there such a thing as magnetic capacitance?"

In theory all magnets are "magnetic capacitors", to one way of thinking, but is there something else going on here, in the hard drive head, with respect to specific types of field and field interactions -- that is being missed?

I doubt there is any text that browsers have to enable those certs by default outside the EU.

It could weaken protection for people in the EU, but then the way forward is to make requirements for root certs mandatory in the EU.

Maybe I missed it, but did the document require special UI elements for EU certs?
I feel like your underlying assumption here is that the average human has a similar level of intelligence and critical thinking skills as the average HN community member.

Here's a 1060 pi cluster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbVcRQQ9PNw
For all the I/O bottlenecks it has, I've still been rather surprised at the Pi 4/400's raw number-crunching power. It compares well to a 3.3 GHz i3-2120 in a clustered number-crunching task I sometimes run (via MPICH) - which seriously surprised me. I suspect that if it were too big to fit in-cache, the Pi would probably fall flat on its face, but still it just floors me that this itsy-bitsy SoC can do so much on seven watts at the wall socket.
They explicitly mention a report. It’s just the number rating which is irrelevant.
It doesn't have to be production. Maybe it's for a research project where you just need the extra performance.

Everything has a cost. This may not be ideal but learning to do C properly as an experienced Python dev will have a time cost as well. This may just be the best way to get from A to B.

I remember when I did a one-off project with a PIC microcontroller. I only had an assembler and I spent 2 days getting nowhere.

Then i found a C compiler and I had the whole thing running in 2 hours. The compiler turned out to much more efficient in speed as well as code size than my hand-written assembler.
Eat shit moron.
> Gym membership cancellation practices are in desperate need of regulation.

Agreed, and I also hate being stuck in 12-month contracts as well. I will never join a gym that makes me sign a long term commitment like that. The last local gym I joined was pretty cool about this. They had higher month to month prices and discounted longer term memberships. Gives you a chance to see how you like it after a few months.
TypeScript is limiting for describing schema in my experience. Try requiring an array of certain length, for example.

Also, it’s Turing-complete, so you are enabling future developers or users to shoot themselves in the foot and write something that does not halt already at configuration stage.

To me the perfect language for configuration seems to be Dhall, but it doesn’t seem to have gained any traction.
I use the US layout as well, and the compose key works very well for me. I don't type often in languages necessitating it, but when I do, it's not much of a bother. Do people who type languages with diacritics really like those localized keyboards? Personally I have to type in a handful of languages everyday (thanks to the internet I've always done so), so I wouldn't like a layout tailored to a single language. The compose key is really a godsend.

In Poland you can do a lot of things digitally by authenticating on governments sites with your Bank (Imagine "Continue with your bank" instead of "Continue with Google" or "Continue with Facebook"). It's nice because bank already verified my identity when I was creating a bank account. I did not have to scan&send anything, go verify in some office etc. and I was able to do multiple things: change how my company is taxed, register for COVID vaccination, government census.
Not true. Offline hacking is not only a concern for passwords used on multiple sites.

There are many scenarios where an attacker might be able to grab the hashes, but still need to crack them in order to get access to other data from your account. If there is a sql injection vulnerability in the authentication service, for example, it does not mean they can necessarily overwrite the hash or access data in other parts of the application.

I once found a bug in a payment processor that let me download the user record including password hash for all users in that payment processor. But I couldn't use that to get their stored credit card numbers directly. However, if I had brute forced those hashes, I would have been able to log in as them and access their other account data and make transfers, etc. I am sure a large majority of those password would have been very easy to crack. If I was an attacker, those would have been my first targets.
Pareto acknowledges this statistics
I don't know. I don't disagree with you, but I think it's sometimes more difficult than it seems initially.

This stuff has been very salient to me the last couple of years. I had a friend who was in a physically abusive relationship, and she was often comparing my behavior, feelings, and thoughts about my job to what she was going through. It's definitely not the same, I don't want to trivialize anything, but in some circumstances a workplace just becomes sort of [emotionally] abusive, extremely dysfunctional, and starts to have tangible harms for spouses, family, etc. in terms of lost time, income, career opportunities, etc. I wrestled a lot with questions like "is it better to not have a job than an abusive dysfunctional one, when it's hurting my family at some level too?"

This isn't the same as putting up with some awareness that what you're doing is existentially empty at some level (which has its own set of issues), but balancing costs and benefits of jobs sometimes is trickier than it seems initially. I think maybe it's the same as the grass-is-always greener you mention, although I think that can go pretty far.
Starlark or Cue, but not a general purpose language please. Side effects in a configuration language is an atrocity...

> Also for reference, Apple and Google both do the same for their operating systems - iOS, macOS, ChromeOS and many Android flavours.

No, they don't. iOS, macOS, Android (not sure about ChromeOS) all allow you to set a default browser and then the OS sticks to that default. In macOS, if I do a google search from Spotlight, it opens in Firefox. Clicking a link inside Mail on iOS opens in my default browser.
It’s a huge organization, so very much a situation where YMMV. It really all comes down to the team you land on. With that being said, teams constantly reorg / reshuffle, so that can change very quickly… which is a good and bad thing. Depending on where you are coming from, the work life balance isn’t nearly as bad as it is made out to be. Figure out what what metric YOU are being assessed on and optimize / document for that. Also pick 2-3 leadership principles to develop your brand around(hint one of them better be “earns trust”) Biggest suggestion is to document your accomplishments, since teams reorg, institutional memory is very short which is a double edged sword. Also keep in mind most of your co-workers will have less than 2 years of tenure and are also “figuring” it out, so if you feel like you are on your own.. it’s probably because everyone has no idea what they are doing yet. Stay positive, take feedback well, and things will be okay.
So what that they are linux users? I am sure you would consider Linux users as at least partially caring about the browser they use. I can't imagine any linux user to use Edge even if it was available on Linux. The point is more user care about the browser they user than you think.
Probably important to mention that at the moment, TypeScript as a configuration format means anyone who writes a configuration blob for you has arbitrary code execution. This is rarely an issue in practice, though.
COP26 Finds Its Scapegoats – India and China
Pluto is closer in size to Earth than Earth is to Jupiter, but we lump them both into the same category.

There was a real concern that we were going to find thousands of Pluto sized objects in the kuiper belt, and that when we observed them up close they were just going to look like big comets. Instead it turns out there are only a handful and they are fascinating worlds with many similarities to other planets.

The Majestic Monolith (2016)
> Costco ran into this with American Express, though in retrospect the move to Visa seems like a worse move (more non-Costco Visa cards in circulation).

Could you expand on it a worse move for Costco? I thought it was great they moved to Visa because majority of Americans does not have Amex for credit card. The only way we can use our Visa card is through debit card only. So by moving to Visa (they have largest cardholders than Amex/Discover in America), Costco gained more consumers so the consumers can use their Visa credit card without resorting to debit card. It helps me a lot because I don't and never have Amex. Amex don't have a lot of retailers coverage (they used to be popular back in the 80s/90s), same for Discover. I recalled Amex have higher transaction fees, I believe higher than Discover, and Amex explicitly disallow passing the fee to the consumers. So made sense retailers prefer Visa/MC because they have lower transaction fees. This is what I remember back in the day when Costco made this announcement.

> A whopping 43% of white students weren’t admitted on merit. One might call it affirmative action for the rich and privileged [..] benefits that white people are now supposedly [emphasis mine] left out of

Funny how the article is entirely lacking in plain demographics, focusing exclusively on the legacy sub-category. Lets fix that, shall we?

38% of Harvard's undergrads are white: https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/harvard-university/s...

And 10% of those are Jewish: https://www.hillel.org/college-guide/list/record/harvard-uni...

So Harvard is 28% non-Jewish white, compared to 59% of the US overall (And even that is too much, according to the Guardian. White people must be really dumb! Of course the Guardian didn't bother to include direct proof of this, such as, say, average SAT score of undergraduates by race). And 10% Jewish, compared to 2-2.4% of the US.

But the Guardian is more likely to report that until 43 years ago Harvard limited the number of Jewish students, rather than to honestly report on what the status is today:

How elite US schools give preference to wealthy and white 'legacy' applicants [..] Many institutions, including Harvard, used a discriminatory quota system to limit the number of Jewish students. - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/23/elite-school...
There's an issue with collies and collie-derived dog breeds; used to be warnings (even mentioned in an episode of "House"). But. Most of the lines running around today are the ones that weren't sensitive and didn't die from ivermectin. So it's no longer such an issue.
Dhall is too unfamiliar for most developers, IMO. Developers don’t want to have to grok an entirely new syntax just for config. I’m personally surprised no one has added type annotations to Starlark yet.

I'm not a data scientist nor working in health care, but my personal opinion leans towards drug abuse being more related/linked to a person's personal experiences, upbringing, and social and economic conditions rather than primarily being linked to where they live. Both rich and poor statistically are represented in terms of drug abuse, the consequences for drug abuse are often more severe for abuse if one is on the less affluent side though (enforcement-wise and health-wise in a historical sense).
Well yes, your comment outlines the issue. Why is there three different certificates supposed to do the same thing?
TypeScript has at least 2 implementations: tsc and Deno, but I take your point and agree. That said, most languages probably have a JS runtime, so a basic implementation would be ts->js->interpreter. The ts->js is presumably pretty easy.
How are you both getting buffer overflows and bounds check failures in the same code?

Anyway, these are problems that arise if you don't test the code. In that scenario, regexps are an endless source of unexpected behavior as well, including in some implementations stack overflows and ReDoS attack-surfaces.
> Anybody saying this is a response to recent anti-trust headlines doesn't understand how a company the size of Apple works. When an announcement like this is made, it means this program has been in the works for YEARS.
