That's at least partially why we have CV driven development be a thing in the industry. Either you jump on the NoSQL, AI, ML, blockchain, serverless, microservice, container, $FOO bandwagons, or you'll miss out on job opportunities and will have your CV stagnate.

That's not to say that those technologies don't have good use cases in particular circumstances, it's just that you as an IC probably don't have strong incentives to care about where the project will be in 5-10 years when you will have left for another company in 2-3. A lot of accidental complexity is an unavoidable reality when you have people who put their own careers ahead of most other concerns.
> But, iirc, very very very few computer manufacturers prioritized compatibility in that way in those days though, and for good reason, it would have be stupid expensive.

You don't recall correctly. The only major brand that didn't prioritize compatibility was Commodore.

Maintaining compatibility limited the ability to add new features but it wasn't 'stupid expensive'. What is expensive is throwing out what you have and creating something incompatible from scratch. When you have hundreds of thousands or millions of units out there, not being backward compatible means you risk losing most of those customers.

Nearly everything that ran on the original Apple II ran on the IIe and IIgs, and nearly everything that ran on the Atari 800 ran on the XL and XE models. Nearly everything that ran on the original 1981 IBM PC can run on a modern PC compatible.
I do think it's a competitor too. Just screwing up Stripe.
>I can no longer tell the difference between innovation and anarchy

I think this is kind of the thing with innovation. Innovation is anarchy until the point where the innovation is accepted as best practice. And at that point it's not really innovation. It's just best practice.

My tips: use also the image search to quickly identify promising pages (charts, tables for example).

Use the tools dropdown to specify the time period, for example last week or last 24h. If your WhatsApp started crashing today, relevant content is likely fresh.

When searching for articles, try to write the search like journalist would write the headline.

Use the double quotes aggressively to filter out unwanted pages (by hinting you want a certain phrase).

I don’t think I usually go past the first page. Instead I usually refine the search.

Can’t say about the quality. I still keep finding stuff and I don’t really have any way to measure how it was year or 5 ago.
Presumably, with async you could queue all the `stat`-ops after the dir walk at once, leaving the total latency in the ball park of "dir walk"+"ping for file stat"+"ping remaining symlink stats if present". But I don't think `ls` does this.

Otherwise, yeah, you incur network latency on every file, plus, as you say, symlink "pings" if those are present. So its "dir walk"+"number of files"*"ping"+"symlinks"*"ping", which adds up.

Batching high-latency ops is one of the only cases where I like async.
That isn't how it works. Giphy/Facebook cannot see what is going on in your Slack channel just because you posted one of their GIFs.

That's where multiple threads across multiple subs comes in handy. If you look at one thread in one sub, then more than likely you will find astroturf.

But if you look in multiple threads and do some research, following up with searches related to the item in question, then read the comments, you should be good.

For example: Pony clamps were brought back by another company, but are now being made in China. There isn't anything inherently wrong with that, but I was concerned the quality of the new product would be much less than the old, made in the USA clamps. So, I searched for the specific clamp style from Pony, read about it, then followed up with searches related to ancillary brands that were talked about in the threads. There were some out-and-out product endorsements from the new company, and assurances that the new clamps would be quality. There were also 'natural' comments that sounded suspiciously similar to what the company owner was saying. . . .

I finally settled on a company that is made in Canada.
Hello!

I’m a physical oceanographer which means my job is to figure out how the water moves and delivers heat through things like math and models. Paleoclimate isn’t my expertise but I figured I’d chime in on some of the climate skepticism here.

Oceanographers would be the first to admit that modeling-predicting changes in the ocean is very hard. Especially more regional features like an intensified warming in the Labrador Sea. That is because even state of the art models have coarse resolution and our initial conditions for far in the past are poor. However, anthropogenic climate change is not a regional effect.

It’s like if first I asked you, what will happen if I hit this window with a hammer? It will break. Now what if I ask you where every piece will go?

Also I’ve seen in this thread people saying that global climate change has been overhyped. From the science side this paper does a great job of evaluating our models from the past:

https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/288430943.pdf
And I must add, use the right tool for the job, there are many cases where ES is not a good fit. Also, if you choose to use ES in your project, you don't have to use ES for everything in that project. Same thing actually applies to asynchronous processing. If something in the system doesn't scale synchronously, that doesn't mean you now should do everything asynchronously.
Perhaps technical users are more likely to be running an ad blocker and/or are overall less likely to actually click on ads. If you're going to have 1/10th the CPM by making this search engine vs. one geared towards everyone, why would you spend the extra time and CPU cycles powering it? Maybe a subscription model would work but you'd have to show just how better it is since you're competing against good-enough free search engines.
You already need to be a little careful. I can't remember the specific search where I ran into it... but if you follow some user accounts recommending a specific brand you'll find that they have very shallow post histories.

This happens on Amazon reviews all the time as well.

What I end up doing is trying to find a post that isn't all-in on any specific solution... but lists pros and cons of multiple options, because it seems less likely that a content advertiser will post anything negative (or positive about a competitor).
If it was part of a font, then I would think that the logo was in vector form. (It could have been a bitmap font, of course, but if you're sending the font to magazines and publishers, a postscript or TueType font would have been more appropriate.) If it did exist in the font as a vector based image, it seems strange to upload a rasterized version to archive.org. It wouldn't have been too hard to upload it as an svg or eps and maintain its quality regardless of its size/resolution.

Ask HN: How do you like your Framework laptop?
The Framework laptop has been available for a little while now (5 batches shipped) so I'm wondering what people's experiences are with it. I'm considering getting one in the future but haven't seen many follow-up reviews or anecdotes.

Does it still seem to be performing as well as it did when you first received it? Has the durability held up to your expectations? Have you replaced any components?
Isn't this just a defect in the corpus? There is likely no quantitative, objective information about the warmth of winter coats in articles that would include the phrase "warmest winter coat" because someone who undertook an objective analysis would be uncomfortable using that phrase, which has no real meaning. With your refinement, adding "reddit" to the end of the search, you just get a bunch of randos holding forth unscientifically and no real information. You've just gratified some bias of yours.

On the other hand, a different search for "R-values of winter coats" produces a few real gems, like https://outdoorcrunch.com/jackets/
Even though by now I'm used to seeing the first stage of a Falcon 9 land with pinpoint accuracy on a barge in the middle of the ocean, I still can't believe that this is actually going to be attempted. It seems like the cost of failure would just be too high - replacing or repairing the tower is going to be very expensive if anything goes wrong. That being said, I've enjoyed the process of having my expectations of what's possible repeatedly shattered over the last few years by SpaceX, and I hope that it continues for a long time.

You can’t vote out the corruption, because much of it is enmeshed in bureaucratic appointments and institutions. The government as a whole needs to be flushed out, from top to bottom, but these parasites are dug in too good to remove without killing parts of the host. Personally, I am completely okay with that scenario: defund the government.
Add a code word or number to your profile like "If you are a recruiter and want to contact me about a position, please put this number in the email subject to confirm you saw this text and isn't a bot".

99% of the time a "recruiter" contacts me, it's a sweatshop spam recruiter who invariably says "Your profile looks interesting" and of course, has not seen the profile.
A similar thing happened to one of my photos from Flickr. It was of a riverbed dried up in the Kenyan drought. Someone messaged me to ask permission to use it in a project and since then, it has appeared in news articles everywhere - mostly without attribution - and with the location varying from a selection of African countries to California and lots of places in between.
It would do more damage to keep lying at that point.
I am sure this will only be enforced in 1 political direction as well

If you show "private media" of a conservative that is "relevant to the community" but if you should "private media" of a liberal that will be in violation of this new rule I can assure you
How so? It seems like politicians would certainly be covered by this exception:

I think this is more an attempt at blocking targeted harassment of private individuals.
I've been using the verbatim mode by default for a couple years. It does improve the results substantially.
I had something very similar happen recently with Olive (Columbus, OH). I received a verbal offer and was told to expect it in writing in the coming days. After about a week I pinged the recruiter and was told they had decided not to proceed because of “a change in the company’s yearly plans”. It was all very bizarre.
These days for most queries I append a " reddit" or " hacker news" to circumvent the SEO bs pages.

This is such a wealth and a great relief. Thank you. I agree with you that realism and “realism” are secondary to all the other parts that make good film/animation, this particular pain point for me is more about when I’ve been ripped out of immersion during an otherwise great movie.

From the outside it has definitely seemed like either the majority of the industry was unaware of the correlation between muscle and skin, or they just didn’t think that doing it accurately was a priority and that has been frustrating to reason through from the outside.

It’s too bad that the tech is prohibitive right now, but the system Weta is using removes all my concerns and I can see now that it’s just a matter of time.

Possibly even more now, I still think that the future is the kind of “AI assisted kinematic translation” that I talked about above. If we were to fully “capture” the ~600 muscles in the body of a performer, along with fascial layers (to understanding the performer’s bodily restrictions), then feed it through a pipeline that can human to human or human to non-human, then do simulations on that character so that it has it’s own restrictions and “preferences” (like steadying with gusts of air from wings instead of from waving arms), I think we’d have less workload on he 3D teams, more flexibility in character design, AND a better looking result.

It's not really weird at all. It's a big enough country with enough different conditions that it does make some amount of sense that there is a heirarchy of levels of control. That looks something like:

|+-- incorporated municipality
Federal -> state -> county -+
|+-- unincorporated land

In the case of an incorporated municipality, the people who live there have a political process to make decisions about planning/zoning/construction, but these (in general) cannot override the rules from the county, state and federal levels.

In the case of unincorporated land, the county makes the rules, and so these are controlled by a political process involving the entire population of the county, rather than just those who live on a particular piece of land (because "there is no there, there"). Again, the county generally cannot override rules from the state and federal level.

In general, the state doesn't really set planning rules that affect specific placement of things. There may be environmental and health regulations that would prevent X being built in a particular location, but the state doesn't normally control whether single family only zoning (as an example) should be used in a given neighborhood - that's up to the incorporated municipality to decide.

The federal level really doesn't set any planning rules other than high level environmental and health regulations.

This is opposition to photography laws in the US and many other countries, that allows the publishing of photographs of private individuals, as long as they can be viewed from a public space.
This will allow them to selectively destroy whoever they want with their technology. Someone like Amy Cooper will turn out to be a public figure--Hunter Biden not so much.
If you reprice equity comp each year then you lose most of the upside.

Compare the two following equity plans:

Example Year 1:

---

PLAN 1

FMV: $1

Strike: $1

Total #: 40k ISOs

Vesting: 4yrs

---

PLAN 2

FMV: $1

Strike: $1

Total #: 10k ISOs

Vesting: 1yr

---

In the second plan you get granted new equity per year targeting some total comp.

This means if the equity goes up in value a lot in the first year, when your new amount is recalculated it'll be way less than 10k.

Example Year 2:

---

PLAN 1

FMV: $2

Strike: $1

Total #: 40k ISOs (10k vesting in year 2)

Vesting: 1yr into 4yr period

---

PLAN 2

FMV: $2

Strike: $2 (new grant)

Total #: 5k ISOs (The 10k from the first year, and now half that # determined by new FMV for a cumulative total of 15k instead of 20k ISOs).

Vesting: 1yr on new grant

---

This lets the company keep the majority of the upside, taking it away from employees. It also hurts employees that stay longer or have a longer term interest in the company from capturing the value they helped create.

And the more the company goes up in value, the worse the trade off becomes.
I think I've gotten exactly one worthwhile recruiter DM on LinkedIn in my life in terms of the actual role they were reaching out about, though I generally reply to them and will occasionally schedule a phone call and I could see those relationships being valuable at some point. I've gotten my last two jobs from HN hiring threads, and I also used Hired.com during my last job search and had pretty decent results.

Interesting thoughts - our users are seeing it as a tool to improve their workflows and interactions. Some employees may feel overwhelmed when a manager is reaching every often to ask for a written update, etc - but when it’s an automated assistant it feels more like a process and flow. It’s also more predictable.

For example:
Many teams use DailyBot for agile/scrum ceremonies, like automating a daily stand-up, a development sprint health check at the middle of the cycle to make sure everything is going well, and perhaps some retrospective meetings every 2 weeks.

They don’t stop meeting face-2-face. DailyBot helps gather all that information, it provides analytics and you have an organized record. Then the teams meet to discuss, but everyone will be well prepared and there are notes already to navigate — it makes the interactions more efficient.

The first results used to be blog posts, forum discussions, etc... I'm not expecting scientific accuracy (it's a bonus if I find it)... I'm expecting personal investigations and opinions. I'm ok with that. I'm not ok with content marketing supplanting it. The entire front page of a search is often some "blogs" listing products with affiliate links and no actual experience. The information is outrageously shallow and the search results as listed try to hide this.

> "R-values of winter coats"

This is a valid alternative... but I don't want to be an expert on winter coats to be able to Google basic information. I'd have to weed through a fair amount of marketing content to even find that the phrase "r-value" exists. In the past this wasn't necessary.

The internet used to be primarily a place for people to connect and share information... and now it feels like primarily a place to be advertised to. There's also the fact that many ads have evolved beyond simple billboards to psychological manipulative clickbait.

It's completely anecdotal and tangential to this topic, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the way marketing manipulates people has created unhealthy amounts of skepticism that further fuels the affinity for conspiracy theories... which tend to be so toxic that they're almost inoculated from marketing.
Assuming 2mm deflection and 20 Hz raspberry:

2mm ⋅ (2π⋅ 20 Hz)^2 ≈ 32 m/s^2

Unfortunately this is linear acceleration and thus not directly comparable to the 1.6 × 10^6° / s^2 (or approximately 30,000 radians per second squared) angular acceleration that the researchers recorded.
