Hopefully crime goes back down. I was born and raised in Brooklyn during some of NY's worst crime waves. It appears to be heading back that way again with inflation and crime. Felonious assaults are up over 18% since 2020, and robbery is up by 15.8% compared to 2020. His startup sounds like any other tech-based company. He needs techs, mathematicians, AI, data sci., etc. With the great work-from-home experiment due to COVID, and tech not really needing to be physically present in NYC, why move there for the high rents and cost of living? I ran a business in the tri-state area for 9 years, but I catered to artists and shows, manufacturing, and designed and built physical objects with tech interfaces or controls. I had to be in the area. Now I do more consultation, design, and engineering and I work around the world from a nice NY town 45 to 60 min. from NYC on the Hudson. Wouldn't go back to NYC if you paid me. Thinking on going back to live in the rice fields of Indonesia or another bucolic place to enjoy my family more in a nice environment, if I can swing it.
Hold the condescension. I wouldn't be surprised if author is from the place where the following definitely literally happened:

At first, there was 2FA where you could either

1. Download the proprietary app OR

2. Get texted the code.

(i.e. no "do-it-yourself" e.g. Google Authenticator option.)

This means you must have a cell phone of nearly any kind. Mostly reasonable.

Turns out; option 2 cost somebody like half a cent every time it was used and also was far more popular than anticipated.

So they just got rid of 2. That's all, no mitigation.

And now you've DRASTICALLY increased the tech requirements for a major public school; I know of IT instructors in the place who did not actually regularly use a phone "fancy" or new enough to handle the official app.

Utter BS.
Ask HN: What's the hardest part of interviewing/hiring for you?
I've interviewed hundreds of candidates (SDEs, Data Engineers, Managers, etc.) over the past few years at https://karat.com. I've most likely interviewed many of you as well.

What has been your biggest struggle hiring people for your team / company? Whether you're a hiring manager at a Big Tech firm, a small/medium-sized startup, an early-stage startup creating your founding team, or you're just interviewing contractors to help with a side project, I want to know!

Speaking for myself (and most Karat interviewers), we invest a lot of time writing notes on how the interview went. These write-ups are prone to human errors (typos, poorly capturing what the candidate said, etc.), take a long time to write and edit later, and we don't necessarily know if they give hiring managers or committees the most relevant info for making hiring decisions.

What part of the interviewing funnel consumes most of your resources (time, effort, loss of engineering productivity, etc.)? In an ideal world, how would you optimize your own interviewing/hiring process?

P.s. If you've done a Karat interview before, what do you feel is missing from our platform if you were looking to outsource some part of your interviewing process?
Agreed.

Guilty Gear Strive (and also Xrd to a lesser extent) do a really, really good job of mimicking 2D animation while being entirely dynamic, 3D animation. Of course, as you said, a lot of that is because it’s a 2D fighting game. So the players have no control of the camera or lighting. Each character in a match has lighting hand applied separately from the other character and separate from the lighting of the environment, so they always have perfect lighting, even if it isn’t physically correct.

And just like how Arcane was in production for ~5 years, there is no secret to how Guilty Gear looks: it’s just a lot of hard artistic labor. It isn’t necessarily like the only thing preventing games from looking like Arcane is a hardware problem.

The point is that the types of problems you're referring to aren't considered algebra problems in math education, because students are expected to be able to solve them when they are introduced to subtraction, not when they are introduced to actual algebraic concepts. It's like saying when you learn to add integers, you're doing group theory because integers form a group under the operation addition. From a purely mathematical standpoint, sure, what you're doing could be explained using group theory, but from a pedagogical standpoint, it's nonsense, because you don't have to know anything about groups to be able to add integers or even to understand and utilize these specific properties of the set of integers.

It's entirely disingenuous, then, to refer to these word problems being solved by Russian students in 2nd grade, as though it has any relevance on whether it's appropriate to teach Algebra 1 in 9th grade. 2nd graders in the US are also expected to be able to solve these types of problems and it's not because they are taught any actual algebraic concepts.
Routinely ignored implies that it's a deliberate action on the part of an employee. I don't think that's the case. The yearly security training gets treated just like the airplane safety briefing. Folks pay attention the first couple of times they encounter it, but when they realize they'll never be in a situation then it gets classified as 'could be useful, but will probably never need.'

The yearly security training is probably just a compliance checkbox companies do. If they wanted an educated workforce that practices security first there are other far more effective approaches.

Of course, that all ignores the fact that employees are weak links not because they are dumb, but because they don't have an incentive to protect the company when they or their families are put in danger by a threat actor.
Actually I think the main reason to have so much nitrogen is to reduce flammability, not biology or comfort.

It's not a fork any more than C# is a fork of C.

It's not a rename for a breaking version tree any more than a C# compiler is of GCC.

It is backwards compatible. The first strong demonstration of this was using the Catalyst framework, a major Perl package, in Raku programs, 6 years ago.

It's not remotely like Python 3 vs Python 2. Python 3 is a tweak of Python 2 that utterly failed to confront hard problems that desperately needed -- and still need -- to be confronted. For example, Raku sits alongside Swift and Elixir as the only two mainstream PLs yet to properly address character processing in the Unicode era. In contrast, Python 3's doc doesn't even mention graphemes. Rakudo has no GIL; Python is stuck with CPython's. And so on for a long list of truly huge PL problems.

Raku is an entirely different programming language. (This is so despite Raku(do) being able to support backwards compatibility via the same mechanism that allows it to use Python modules as if they were Raku modules. And C libraries, and Ruby ones, and so on.)
There aren't very many things that someone can say that are universally wrong, but "I don't think this is funny and therefore it is failed humor" is probably pretty close

This article appears to be nonsense from a fascinatingly nonsensical site. Is someone running fake news site using a large language model?

The front page: full of headline clickbait with paragraph segments of nonsense. For example:

"The Remington Portable Typewriter lists at $29.95. It has capital and small letters, standard key board, shift key and many features. It also resembles he big machines in efficiency, for don’t forget it’s a Remington – with every merit for which Remingtons are famous. On sale at all stores except Jamaica."

The article is... questionable. One part says:

> It’s smart to avoid using wireless devices like mobile phones or GPS systems, since they have digital signatures that can reveal your location.

This would make more sense if it was referring to drones that carry a sigint payload, except GPS receivers don't transmit and that would be a RF signature, not a "digital signature".
I found it to be less a satire of 2FA/MFA than of college administration busybodies in general.
>I guess it makes sense that there are people who have been on the receiving end, and couldn't get their own needs met.

I've run into similar challenges with those three steps I talked about. I haven't been deeply steeped in NVC so I may have it wrong—my impression is that it doesn't do step 2 very well, or articulating how I imagine the other person is feeling. Often it seems to leave that part to a question, requesting the other person answer what they need and often, people can't answer it or don't want to. While basic questions, I find they challenge me and many others: how do I feel, what do I want, what do I need? So with NVC, I think it almost requires the other person to answer that and get into a dialogue about what both people need and if the one person doesn't know or doesn't want to, it can almost become a standstill and then lead to more frustation..."I'm saying what I need, I need you to say what you need. What do you need???"
"Mass adoption" is a buzzword that means "a lot of people use it." In it's purest form it means everyone uses it, but that's not absolutely necessary to consider it widely used.

There are plenty of things in ubiquitous use that are illegal in some places, or even most places. Alcohol is ubiquitous, guns are everywhere, gambling, cocaine and marijuana come to mind, people modify their cars beyond legality quite often. Lots of people do illegal financial activity as well, most people transact under the table when the opportunity arises. You can have a scenario where cryptocurrencies are widely used even in places that ban them but are so ubiquitous that enforcement is untenable.
The first engineer on the Delos team here. This design decision gave us an edge: we delivered the first production cluster in 8 months by layering over existing systems ; and we smoothly migrated all underlying implementations in the following 2 years without our customer aware of it (0 downtime). This design decision is well captured by the OSDI’20 Virtual Consensus in Delos paper.
In both Robin Hood and Cuckoo hashing, insertions will move elements around. That means the iterator guarantees (or: that you'd visit every element) could be broken).

So a foreach(cuckoo_table) operation may not in fact visit all elements if the table has an insert somewhere in the loop.
This kind of depends on the interest rates and the Nasdaq (50%). The number of VC in the market(30%) and the allocation of LP to VC (10%).

I see the VC asset class as an arbitrage on private company valuation. As the number of VC increase the arbitrage opportunity disappear and switch sides, from the buyer to the seller. I.e. founders are getting to arbitrage the VCs.

Personally I think that there is a market failure here, where the government protect mom and pop investors from making risky bets on early stage startups, and yet allow them to invest on some crypto scams with no questions.

I envision that, like cannabis, this will be solved soon in the form of some sort of public stock exchange for startups.
Great, glad we cleared that up.

Worst I've seen by far for getting into a desktop banking website recently, it felt like a parody:

1. On desktop: Enter username and answer to a random memorable question like "your first pet" (password manager will probably fail to autofill this). You're then prompted for a "mobile security code".

2. On mobile app: Enter username + different password. Need to scroll, tap 7 items and then enter a password to get a mobile code you then have to type into the desktop app.

Getting the mobile security code logs you out of the mobile app and logging into the mobile app will log you out of the desktop app.

It's like they didn't do any user testing and think that more steps = better security.

Lots of UK banks also ask for random parts of your password only e.g. "enter the 2nd, 10th and 5th character from your password" which is super tedious to do correctly because you can't use muscle memory or autofill. This is to defeat key loggers? Isn't that what 2FA would do? You'd think banks would be clued up on this.
Filecoin is “live” only technically. There is no way for individuals to contribute, which seems to be intentional as the leadership is looking for corporate support first. It currently has no real use cases. I say this as someone who is also excited by the idea.
It's funny too because GitHub definitely knows the license for every single code sample in their database -- they could easily incorporate this
Writing High Performance .NET Code (https://www.writinghighperf.net/) has a chapter on this. In C#, time spent collecting depends on the number of still-living objects. That means you want objects you allocate to be short-lived (dead by the time GC happens) or to live forever (they go to the gen 2 heap and stay there). The book suggests object pooling when the lifetime of objects is between those two extremes, or when objects are big enough for the Large Object Heap.

But at the end of the section, the book says:

I do not usually run to pooling as a default solution. As a general-purpose mechanism, it is clunky and error-prone. However, you may find that your application will benefit from pooling of just a few types.

What kind of things do you pool in Unity?
I have trouble imagining who might want to do this. It seems like a really small niche? Normal people don't need to trade or move large sums of money 24-7. An ATM and/or credit card is good enough.
A Spam Site on Repl.it
I made a spam site on repl.it. I recommend against going there, because it works, and from what I've seen, it cannot be detected by the browser. If you open it, it loads a new window. If you close it, it also opens a new window. So that's fun.

Uniswap comes to mind. V2 is superseded by V3, and V3 is the default option of the web UI, but you can still use V2. There are no plans to sunset V2, and I’m not certain that V2 could be terminated at this point, as the signing keys were burned IIUC.

So it's slower now, or did you mean to say you've reduced the time to sign-in?
There are still some benefits. Your password can probably be bypassed with a "forgot password" flow while the TOTP code cannot.

Aside from that, though, I think it's reasonable to argue that the security of password+code in 1password is equivalent to just password in 1password.
1% is true, for a lot of banks in my country. IB may be an exception, without going into details I had trouble with their kyc.

DeFi is a buzz word. Lets take Uniswap. You get direct access to an exchange. It works 100% of the time. You pay the same fees as everybody else.
Traditional exchanges: try to get the same fees as a HFT shops. Yeah forget it. Even through IB you don't get direct participation on the exchange. So in my perspective the traditional system is kind of rigged in the way how different actors are able to participate. At least at the moment DeFi is fair in this regard. Also you get full access to the assets you are holding without any third party..
Right? I was hoping for a good article and instead got machine learned drivel. Is the OP just a bot too?
One time I signed up on a site with 'Sign in with Google'. Months later, I wanted to delete my account, but the deletion process required I enter my account's password, which obviously I was never prompted to set up. The site wouldn't let me do a 'Forgot password' to set a password, so the account was impossible to delete.

There are very few times where the finances work out for options. Most employees lack access to the necessary company financials to make an informed financial decision, there is a 100% downside risk and barring early stage founder equity stakes - it's unlikely that the equity will do better than getting lucky on a top stock pick.

I have yet to hear a single case of an employee purchasing their options when they left and thinking it was the right decision later on.
> unwilling to exert a bare minimum level of effort to research other use cases?

What I'm unwilling to do is wade through the mountains of scams and get-rich-quick schemes to find novel applications of a distributed ledger. Games? Seriously? Show me a game that isn't just a vehicle for boosting the trade volume of some shitcoin.

It's all dystopian tech bro capitalism to me.

> There was recently a high-profile crowdfunded attempt to buy an artifact at auction. Feel free to be skeptical of all of these, but

Yeah, that one where half the people who want a refund will lose a significant chunk, if not all, of their donation in fees. I find it absolutely laughable that with all of the fancy "smart contract" tech out there someone couldn't figure how to hold these donations in cryptographic escrow and return them without a huge penalty if the transaction were to fall through. It's hard to feel bad for those who put money in. It should all be automated and foolproof, and I thought that was the point.
Fixed :) Thank you

some people forget, or don't know about, Atari's first consoles, which had zero "secure" features and the enormous mess that caused. the entire home video game industry in the US virtually died for a while because of all the crap games that were produced. imagine mobile-like shovelware games selling for $60 each for a while, and consumers being unable to tell which games were good and which were bad until you took them home and played them. then, finding out you can't return the crap ones because too many other people were returning those same games, and the retailers couldn't absorb the cost.

then, seeing all console video games in "bargain bins" for $1-$2 each and even then extremely few people were buying them. I recall seeing bins going virtually untouched for months.

parents just stopped buying games for their kids' consoles, nearly completely. the idea of a home video game console was so negative that Nintendo needed to call the NES an Entertainment System in order to get their device into homes. That Nintendo Seal of Quality really meant something, and only Nintendo could manufacture the lockout chip that prevented unauthorized games from running, so that Seal of Quality really had weight and it basically meant "no shovelware games" for it's entire existence.

Entrepreneurs showed Nintendo and Atari what happens when you have no console security: that lots and lots of people will eagerly crush the entire market in exchange for a bit of money. Nintendo has not forgotten this lesson, and they're not likely to.
