Yeah, I've co-organized and attended multiple hackathons, and one of our organization principles is "code is key", to combat powerpoint-only submissions.

That means that there is a code-screening after the submission deadline that ensures that what was demoed was also implemented, and also gives some points in the overall scoring based on execution. We have seen submissions that include a fully-fleged backend including tests, as well as completely faked demos (which were easy to pick up, as what they promised was too far removed from reality).
Search Massive MIMO, Beamforming ( Which isn't really new ), Small Cells, NR.

That is about it really. You can ignore mmWave which is pure hype. Most of the other enhancements are on the carrier / operation side and not consumer.

You can also ignore all the 5G Self Driving Vehicle crap.

> Every single Django production system I've seen logs into Postgres as a superuser (so it can do migrations).

then all those production systems do it wrong. all the django DB user needs (even for migrations) is to be the OWNER of the schema you give it (the NAME setting in DATABASES). how you create this database is up to you and it's not django's job.

there are 2 cases i can think of where django needs extra permissions:

1. to run the test suite django will want to create/destroy a `test_projectname` database. for this `CREATE USER ... CREATEDB ...` is sufficient, no superuser needed. this should not be in your production database anyway but a throwaway DB where you run your CI/CD.

2. when some extension needs to be installed (like pg_trgm, etc) you might need superuser, but again, it's debatable if this is django's job. some projects try to do this in their migrations, but i prefer to do this during provisioning. the postgres docs say:

> Loading an extension ordinarily requires the same privileges that would be required to create its component objects. For many extensions this means superuser privileges are needed. However, if the extension is marked trusted in its control file, then it can be installed by any user who has CREATE privilege on the current database.

edit: minor clarification.

But stoic philosophy was so focused on resonance (sympathy) in the universe. Somehow it doesn’t seem far from their worldview. It is kind of surprising that there wasn’t more tinkering and scientific development back then.

Most people who go to hackathons have tons of boilerplate already put together, at least in my experience. The coolest thing I ever saw built at a hackathon in boston was a fellow NU student who built a filesystem that completely operated within network traffic flowing between a number of network switches. Totally novel, not fake tech backing a half-baked "business" idea with the IBM watson API.

I stopped going to hackathons after one kid at Hack the North U Waterloo literally tore a muscle in his eye from looking at a screen too long...
They are in fact a giant pain, but sometimes, still the best option.
As an entrepreneur this gives me absolutely zero pause. I don't care if the fed splits up the thing that acquires me once I get acquired. I just want to get acquired. It's on meta to decide if they are flying too close to the sun.

So tell me, how would the invalidation work if the API were written in a language like Rust?

You've just listed a bunch of GCed languages and told me it's due to the API not the language. GC lets you be sloppy with resource initialization/cleanup though, and having GC doesn't magically fix when the external objects you interact with go in and out of scope.

So what I'm arguing above is that GCed languages are actually just as hard as manual memory managed languages the moment you need to interact with the real world... be it UI elements, file handles, network sockets, or whatever. Memory isn't the only resource that needs management, and languages that have idiomatic resource management are actually good at this kind of thing.

Maybe when we've suppressed it as we have with measles. Otherwise, as we have seen with Alpha, Beta, Delta and now Omicron, new variants will keep arising and keep making people very sick.

Smallpox used to be endemic, Polio used to be endemic, measles used to be endemic. That is not where we want to end up at.

How do we stop this? The same way we did with the others - comprehensive vaccination, mandated if necessary. Lockdowns on any outbreaks.
onHover has always been a psuedoschizo decision. There are places where nothing is more useful, but misuse it and it aggravates the hell out of everyone, not unlike browser frames/iframes/etc 20 years ago.
Of course not, assuming the goal is demo UX via UI behavior, it's far more expedient to mock backend dependencies on the front end. Is this supposed to be controversial?
Yeah that’s cool except it made all our queries slower. I’ll add that to my list above, forgot about that.
I participiated once in a corporate sponsored hackathon and won with a slide show. Those hackathons have nowadays nothing to do with software development and i will never again participate in that. They are almost always about adding business value and some startup crap.
I like it. Makes complete sense.

Sure, this and that could or should be improved. But only ever focussing on those things is depressing.
Do you have a few examples of those other places?

I'd imagine that anyone interested in buying Giphy would fall into one of two categories:

1. Large tech companies for which the same antitrust arguments would apply.

Resolution and framerate requirements will only expand. If Facebook succeeds at the metaverse idea where everyone lives in VR after work, you’re going to have every member of a household consuming a serverside rendering of 360 degree extremely high resolution and high framerate feed.

Talking about supported hardware, I always select hardware that will run the software I want, not the other way around. When I build my desktop PC last year, it was all AMD hardware. Haiku works great on it, and with X512’s vulkan driver, I’ll even have 3D acceleration. I’m buying a laptop in 2 months, again, it will be all AMD hardware. And Haiku will run great on it. As will Linux.
Depends on your idea. For example, if you're actually building a demo that requires collaborative features that others can try in real-time, backend can add a lot to the working and cool factor. Imagine you're making a skribbl.io clone, you can't just fake other user's live inputs.
I also think if we're being charitable, AWS would be split off from Amazon, and possibly sub-divided further, likewise for the other public clouds -- Google search and Google Cloud shouldn't be owned by the same entity, etc.
> "Make America Great Again"

That is just patently wrong. It was a reaction to the previous administration's foreign policy strategy, which was to position America as less of a world leader and more of a partner.

Conservatives frequently criticized one of President Obama's early trips as an "apology tour", and were incensed when he appeared to bow to the Saudi king.

Also, they disliked the domestic policies which had a socialized feel.

It literally had nothing to do with the civil rights movement.
oh snap that sounds like a nice setup.
I guess I don't disagree, but not sure I understand the point if all you need is one guy with a copy of illustrator/photoshop/whatever?
> Oh come on.

Completely unnecessary tone here, but yeah, I do think that some percentage of queries for "new computers" might just be interested in finding out what new computers are out there, and not just buy the first thing shoved in their faces. Stupid search engine rounds up 90 or 95% to 100% and forces everyone to think about buying stuff all the time. It's really grating being lumped into whatever crap category the engine thinks is the most profitable and being shown the result of a bidding war for my attention for every. single. thing. in this life.
That doesn't make sense. The first vote went in management's favor. There is no reason for them to want a second vote.
If you think having a good idea and making a good pitch are part of rigging the game, I'm pretty sure you're not making a good faith argument. But you give it away when you say the only reason borders exist is to keep away slave labor. The UK didn't just split from the EU to keep away slave labor, they split because there was massive discontent with what the government should do. How receptive would Afghanistan be to US culture and government? (a rhetorical question because we know the answer is 'not very') Not everyone believes in the same things or wants the same rules, a core tenant of the US's federated system of government.
No, it's a language issue. The language doesn't let you specify that things cannot go out of scope 'spookily', so it is ambiguous and you have to trust things like documentation. Just like it's easy to make memory management issues in C, this is the kind of thing that's easy to get wrong in JS.

Hackathons are jokes. I was once lured to one for building phone apps. The winning entry was a team with a PowerPoint. The judges were VC. They’re just fishing for ideas to fund. A great waste of time.
And what does it tell you that sadly there are bizarre extreme reactions elsewhere on this climate question? Before the British Government was forced to insist that the police use their existing powers to stop climate protesters preventing people from going about their ordinary business which including several people trying to get to hospital for cancer treatment, we learnt about non-climate-skeptic aggression on a physical level. The leader of their group famously declared he would not move even if the motorist was carrying a dying person to hospital. That's religious fervor of a kind reminiscent of the 14th C.
We do indeed need to find ways of presenting our ideas and thoughts non-aggressively because none of us know the final truth about the immensely complex system that is the Earth's climate.
> FB’s VAT on ad sales in the UK is probably only £500m.

It is probably closer to £0. VAT is only chargeable on non-business ad sales. Where a Facebook does pay VAT for a sale to a business, that cost is passed on to the buyer, which can claim it back from HMRC. The exception being very small businesses that are below the VAT registration threshold.

Don't forget that many of Japan's large zaibatsu corporations were founded by former samurai clans during the Meiji Restoration.
It seems crazy that people bemoan the fact that twitter only does 4.8 bill or whatever the current run rate is. Since when is that awful? It's only awful when you compare it to Facebook and a few others. Compared to almost all businesses ever, it has grown to be a giant in an amazingly short period of time and is doing well on every dimension, including financial.

It's popular, engaging and has a solid business model. Again, only when you compare it to some of the most freakish outliers in the history of business does it look less than amazing.

Unions help the well-connected get better paying jobs, at the expense of less well-connected people who would be willing to do the job for less, but still at a rate that makes sense for them.

So the question is not “do unions help union members?” (they almost certainly do), it’s “do unions help workers like me?” - maybe the average worker is not confident that they can move to their next job if the industry is unionized?
The last so-called hackathon I went to involved a bunch of idea guys sitting in a room talking about how cool their ideas were. One of these assholes had me make a prototype for him, he quickly dismissed it as not good enough.

Like I did it for free man, can you at least try to say thank you.

I will say I do enjoy game jams, at least then we have something fun to play. I have no interest in prototyping an app for someone else to get rich.

I think keeping LinkedIn current is almost a must, even if you don’t plan on using it as a job search engine. People look at it all the time for different reasons. You’ll probably hear from a lot of recruiters if you do so. Watch out as some are scammers, and many are consulting agencies.

I’m surprised not to see a plug here for WorkAtAStartup.com, YC’s job site. It’s pretty great and usually you get interviews with founders.

Since 2012 the whole recruiting and HR world have adopted applicant tracking systems (ATS) which heavily rely upon resume parsing and keywords. You’ll need to basically do some SEO on your actual resume PDF or .docx to ensure that your skills are visible to those systems. Much has been written about it but I’ll say that vanilla formatting and listing specific skills goes a long way to better visibility.

Do prep for coding interviews, especially with a guide like Cracking the Coding Interview. It’s just one of those skills that is another obligation of being a developer in 2021 like knowing git and containers.

Looking for tech jobs in 2021 is a somewhat brutal and dehumanizing process, but on the plus side compensation is unbelievable right now, demand is high, and remote work is amazingly common. It’s a great time to be a nerd. Good luck to you!

Covid: First signs that vaccine protects against Omicron – health minister
Isn't this the reason people put in enormous amount of hours in their startup? The idea that more labor equals more success seems to be built into our culture. The same idea is reflected in the argument that poor people stay poor because they are lazy/not willing to work.

I personally think that idea is incorrect (and labor theory of value has limited application), but I have been seeing arguments where everyone picks and chooses the idea when it is applied personally vs applied to someone else.

The sovereignty of the United Kingdom over its own territory and incorporated businesses, through laws created by the British parliament which derives its power from the British people, very straightforward.

Whether a business is foreign or not is irrelevant as far as its operations in the UK is concerned. Do you think Chinese owned businesses in the US don't have to comply with American law on American soil?
I would assume it is fingerprinting you and checking you against a list of bad fingerprints.
Haven't investigated deploying Medusa to a serverless environment yet. We use background workers to process jobs from a Bull queue and those do not necessarily finish within the lifetime of a request. To allow for a serverless setup, we would need to handle these jobs differently, so that they can be carried out even though the servers scale to zero.
Yeah, I donno. Even if I were able to convince someone at a party to go along with this "trick", I don't think they'd be especially impressed when after scrambling and subtracting 4 digit numbers, I'm able to wow them with a single digit.

Unless we figure out how to reclaim the term, the important thing is to recognize when a "hackathon" is actually a "pitchathon" (usually) and to not waste effort doing things that will go unappreciated at a pitchathon (namely, hacking).
