If you have Android, can you check your notification history? There might be the driver's name on one of them, like "xyz is on route" or sth.

Going to the police, they might have access to security cameras in that neighborhood to check the car's plate.

If they touched your belongings and you still have them, it might be worth giving them to the police to run finger print tracing.

The right wing moving righter? Hardly. It’s easy to see that politics has shifted drastically left. Political stances considered mainstream 30 years ago would end careers today. The so called “extreme right” Tory government, before the last reshuffle, had 3 of the 4 top government posts occupied by MPs from minority ethnicities. What you consider to be ‘moving righter’ is in fact just louder complaining due to the accelerating movement towards the left.
Ask HN: Cohort based courses for computer science
I recently met someone who was doing a cohort based course for song production. They were loving it, and had actually made some good songs (I think).

Are there any good cohort based courses for computer science or software engineering? There are so many things I'd like to learn more about, but don't want to go back to school and don't feel as excited with individual learning.

Agreed. We should only ever listen to Authority Figures like CNN, the government, Snopes and Twitter. Bullshit-train-free.
What medieval life taught me
A productive Forth system, for me, has stack effects commented into each of the words, in Thinking Forth style has a literate style which flows, has plenty of testing words which help you build up mock objects that you can test your words on, and often real tests which tests each word to make sure it does what it's supposed to (e.g. place a file id on the stack, run your word, and then test the file id to make sure it has the contents that you expect.) Developing and testing should happen often and frequently in the REPL; it's a very dynamic process. This style is very different from ALGOL or Lisp style structured programming where it can be annoying to test things (though in Common Lisp you should just be able to jump into a running function and see what's going wrong), but in its stead the compiler gives you a lot of assurance as to what's going on.

Really depends on the qualifications of the candidate. Cold calling on linkedin is very prevalent these days. Even FANG does skip to the second phase of an interview loop, but only in cases where the candidate has an outstanding resume and is worth going the extra mile to poach. But for run-off-the-mill jobs, no, standard funnel is standard practice because the recruitment team at the top of the funnel doesn't have the skills to evaluate candidates in depth and the tech interviewers at the end of the funnel usually have no idea where the candidate was sourced from.
The Curious Case of Billionaire Brian Sheth

I don't want to sound like an apologist for the large tech companies — they certainly can afford to pay for their own — but I think it's a mistake just to view this as a rigged game.

Decentralization sounds like a great idea but I've been watching that generally fail since the 90s and I think there are some challenges beyond aggressive acts by big players. Part of this comes down to how the terms are used to cover different levels: most of the advantages of decentralization at the infrastructure level are less pronounced in an era where a single entity can easily run code around the world and there are some drawbacks related to things like caching or security. “Distributed, run by one party” is probably going to outperform “Distributed, run by many parties” for most users and the things which are going to make them switch to something else would be high-level things like decisions about the product direction.

The higher-level organization trade-offs are less clear cut, I think. There's an advantage in having more than one party making decisions but it also harms your overall reaction time somewhat substantially. Other than the web and email there aren't all of that many success stories and I wouldn't feel too secure about email long-term. That suggests to me that we might be prone to give the drawbacks insufficient weight when we're thinking about decentralization, especially when it comes to the challenges of controlling abuse. I ran my own Jabber servers for a while and it worked well at work (centralized) but basically all of my personal messages came either from people on Google Talk or spammers. It wasn't just that Google put more money into running servers or building apps but that there wasn't a great path forward for a lot of features which federated services offered.
It's entirely feasible for lawyers from the companies to write out an exemptions to DRM circumventions past certain dates that outlines what you are allowed to do as it relates to the DRM with old titles.

There are difficulties in this with third party licensing, which can get quite complex, going beyond content licenses (such as a Star Wars game or licenses for music tracks) but including many third party technology licenses. Those kinds of issues don't come into play as much with things like movies and other media.

What Spencer is proposing makes a lot of sense but it's not really done from the perspective of rolling back DRM or sunsetting copyright protections. It's about encouraging publishers and developers to support old titles better for emulation, and making it into a business. They're not really thinking about archival considerations or opening up modding.

Particularly now, with the games industry entering into a mature phase, they're mostly tapped as it relates to new ideas and are looking for ways to make more money on the back catalog.
Sorry. I don't have time to reply to this comment because I need to find my Motorola charger. The thin long barrel jack, not the older thick short barrel jack one...
Well this is nonsensical for a myriad of reasons, including that a derivative that was patented and proven to work would just encourage people to take the cheap generic that also works but is more widely available and has better understood risk profile, but it does show potential motive as to why it's taken this long to get real RCTs spun up to study ivermectin.
I understand the business decisions. But, what you are suggesting is already kinda happening with mobile phones. They have shitty sensors, but software ecosystem that can thrive around it. My guess the next big thing will be a professional camera with android and third party software running on it, doing all sorts of cool stuff.
The way this was proposed was, only prompt for the modern-user-friendly options like CUA mode if the user doesn't have an ~/.emacs.d/init.el or .emacs file, which makes some sense to me. Emacs isn't the kind of thing you run on remote machines and expect it to be at all like the one you have locally (like you can mostly do with vi).

No, git is not the blocker... but neither are the tools. The big blocker is a lack of confidence that someone won't ask me to drastically rework my PR.
> There is nothing actually better about crypto for this application

> The most obvious would be to sell shares in a corporation or LLC

Well certainly you can do it faster with crypto. How long would it take to set up the corporation / LLC? How quickly / easily could people buy shares? Could anyone buy shares?

Yes there are more risks this way, but I don't think there are zero benefits to the crypto approach.

Each company is different in its particular approach and niche, though. This is inevitable with any large, or potentially large market.

I tend to remind people who think that this is an error that, although I share their disliking...

- There is a case for the word and it predates us

- Languages are dynamic and today's "correct" spelling is yesterday's "erroneous" spelling.

I thought until recently that the spelling was "simply incorrect" until I found out there was more to it. It therefore is a reminder to myself as well.

Does Datadog really directly compete with PagerDuty? They integrate with one another, and my company uses both, though honestly if Datadog made the kind of alarm-level notifications functionality as PagerDuty I probably wouldn't need PagerDuty anymore. That said, the simplicity of a single-purpose product definitely also has its appeal.
> one thing that TS doesn't provide ... is an integer type.

This! I'd love an integer type, and I think this would be within the scope of TS: Use a JS number when running, but type check it to integer.

There is JS bigint though.
Maybe then question then is how does one get every developer to design and build modules as you have prescribed?

It will be harder to snap next time since wood glue bonds are usually stronger than the wood itself.
I found this out some years ago while investigating how I might write my own Babel plugin for some non-standard syntax. At the time there were no such facilities available, only the hidden built-in parser flags.
Like, why do you have to do one or the other? Why not use a little of both?

For example, we knew the limit of our big fatty pipe coming into our building. 99% of the time, we could handle all the traffic coming in. The other 1% of the time, we just offloaded the extra traffic to AWS. All the cost savings of on-prem, all the scale benefits of the cloud.

I was about to make this same recommendation. Burner (one-time use) cards, Merchant locked cards, total/lifetime/transaction spending limits. It's a great way to make sure subscription services can't just keep stealing from you.
I'm sorry but they will not do a single thing about it. Just recently in Brazil a pregnant, transgender man was almost killed by an Uber driver and he didn't even get so much as a response back from the platform. There are public videos of the man threatening to kill them (he was with his girlfriend) while they were still in the car and Uber did nothing.

On a more similar note, my girlfriend last year called an Uber, and after 30 minutes of waiting for it to arrive, the person simply canceled the ride claiming she wasn't wearing a mask (they never even came close to my girlfriend, and she was definitely wearing a mask). We tried contacting support to at the very least refund us the ridiculous fee, but nothing was ever done.

Avoid Uber like the plague.
You don't need DRM when your customers don't actually get a copy of the game. Like Microsoft's new Game Pass Ultimate feature where you can subscribe and play XBox console games from Windows, streamed from the Cloud. This is what they are up to. You no longer need to own a console or purchase the games. I imagine they will be pushing a future where games are written primarily for these virtual consoles, and using the correct APIs your games will automatically look better as the virtual consoles become more powerful. As for preserving games, this is purely a call for publishers to permanently license their games for this service (ie. if you license music, make sure the licenses don't expire and are compatible with streaming game distribution).

Thank you, and I like the idea of watching a dumb but harmless movie to kinda forget about things for a couple hours. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to do that. Thank you.
That's what they want more of, from third party publishers and developers. To the extent that hobbyists and modding stands in the way of that business model, they'll litigate to crush.
It uses a subset of the XML spec, it does not need a custom parser, any existing parser will do.
Again, read that series of comments again. I am saying I would be excited to work with a device with 100 physical qubits, not 100k. You are making up the least charitable possible interpretation of an offhand comment and getting angry at your imagination.

That is an in-credible statement. A half a dozen, that you know, in the ICU, that did I-MASK. Amazing!

Because it is federated, and no single entity should own and control the data.

Federated

It makes complete sense when you realize that the speed of actually computing and thinking through every move would look more like a chess match rather than a dance (latter being instinctive moves).

I don't get replacing `/=` in Eq with `a \= b = not (a == b)` -- it seems that this would breaking floating point comparisons?
I think you misread my post. There are other reasons people can look stupid than they did something wrong. It is neither accurate nor virtuous to blame yourself for every negative outcome.
There's a big difference between pointless drudgery and emotionally abusive, and one of them is indeed pretty normal, the other is things like my manager lying to and about me and setting me up to look like an idiot and pretending it was my fault and literally giving me nightmares and raising my blood pressure 20 points.
TS does take into account things like === and you can get warnings for using them wrongly. But I'm not certain... I just don't find myself thinking about === and use strict.

More's the pity.

Hiring in 2021 should be flexible. If they're not willing to be, then you have some different options. But since they went out of their way to contact you, you basically have the upper hand here.

See if they're willing to enter into a contract for 60-120 days. This is relatively low risk for the company, since a contract usually skews in favor of the company to terminate early.

Chances are they'll contract you and realize they can't live without you, so you'll be in a better negotiating position when negotiating a full-time salary.

That's interesting. It was always 'VISA' in the past, when did it become 'Visa'?
A friend's husband called one of the suicide lines and he wasn't committed or visited by the police, so it's not a 100% chance. I don't know the details of what the husband talked about, but it may have been because it wasn't a recurring problem. He'd just had an especially awful time at work for a few weeks, and eventually had a breakdown and called a hotline.

He quit his job a couple of days later and has been fine since, so maybe the person on the phone can make a judgement call on whether it's a recurring issue that needs professional help, or something that is an extreme response to an isolated incident and the person will be fine after they're "talked down from the ledge".

The Filecoin Virtual Machine
You absolutely need push on iOS and modern Android. S60 and Android before doze didn't because you could just have a connection in the background; afaik, BlackBerry didn't restrict background data either. But it's not like there was a lot of good mobile XMPP clients that died out when push became mandatory.

If there was, it wouldn't take much to make an XMPP extension or three for the client to provide a push url to the server. Client devs would (probably) need to standup a push proxy, so xmpp server pushes to client server pushes to client, because I don't think many platforms give out push urls that can be securely passed on to 3rd parties. There's some expense there, but not a whole lot, IMHO.
Being suicidal just means that you are at imminent risk of committing suicide. It isn't necessary to be in a completely different state of mind than normal for this to be the case.

Ask HN: Does iOS 15 make display look larger?
I think I may be going crazy, but I installed iOS 15 and I keep swearing that my screen is bigger than it once was. That's... obviously not the case, but I can't help but think that something in the UI changes in iOS 15 have made it give the impression that there is more screen real estate on a phone screen. Am I going nuts, or have others sensed the same thing? And if so, anyone can point to specific design elements that might be causing this?

It's easy though. You can memorize the Technician pool in 5-10 hours with https://www.hamstudy.org or their app - the app is GREAT - (I know, my wife and I just did it and are testing for the tech Saturday, I've passed the last 100 something practice tests in a row) and the General is only slightly harder.

I'm working 60-70 hours a week, plus class, plus church responsibilities and I'm consistently getting 70-71% correct on the General already just from using the app for a half hour or so a day and listening to the question pool via KB6NU's book while I work since Monday morning. I probably won't get up to passing it Saturday but I can just do an online test in the next few weeks once my Tech is in the database Monday or Tuesday.

Getting the General gives you plenty of room to do stuff like this.
