ok, I stand corrected, but I will say that the Apple II line represented smaller iterations of the generally same architecture, right?
i.e., Commodore I guess didn't iterate within the same architecture as much, breaking that compatibility more easily.
I imagined this very differently based on the title and expected GIFs all over. This is actually a good idea as presented, but probably won't work well on mobile as another commentor mentioned. Mobile would be better served with something like the expanders Wikipedia uses on the mobile site.
The Seven Years War was a truly global war with fighting in North America, the Caribbean, and India in addition to Europe. It was even kicked off by a young George Washington. It definitely gets my vote as the first truly global war.
The purpose of the motto isn't to give employees carte-blanche to do whatever they want. It's supposed to be a catch-all for situations that the company has not taken an explicit position on.

If the company says "xyz isn't evil" explicitly, then the motto doesn't give you the right to work against that.

This lawsuit is just childish.

If you email me, I will send an invite to Kagi Search beta which deals with the problems you mentioned, namely:

- A ranking algorithm that penalizes commercial and ad/tracking bloated pages

- Ability to "mute" or "prefer" domains

- Ability to search for discussions

- Customize type and appearance of search results

Kagi Search is a new startup in the search space and we are currently in the closed beta.

I don't think that's entirely fair. I'd bet that with a reasonably sized team, good introspective tools, and several years, you could reverse engineer what each part of a network does. Of course that's only a gut feeling, and there'd be no way of proving it was accurate.
I'm glad that the RPi was successful enough to get an IPO, maybe it'll incentivize other entrepreneurs to start similar projects in the UK while showing investors they can get a decent exit funding projects like educational electronic boards.

Was the seven years’ war WW-1, then?
Obviously sucks, had a similar experience as an SWE intern and new grad. I even got a written offer which was then later rescinded because of COVID. They said they will honor it for the next cycle, but of course they didn't. After reaching out they wanted to do new full interview loop, and then at the end said "Sorry we don't have any headcount left for this anymore".
True. But I imagine what would evolve would be a few B2C "face" brands, backed by a web of unmentioned B2B companies that customers never directly interact with.

Which is essentially the dynamic now, except the B2C last mile companies can parlay their relationship and just buy everything high value upstream of them.

Which... I'm not sure is great for competition.

Anything that moved the market away from one in which all customers are "an Apple customer" or "a Google customer" or "a Facebook customer", with those companies unconstrained in their ability to leverage that, seems better.
Fair enough, I stand corrected, but I guess I meant maintaining compatibility when you change architectures is stupid expensive.
You can disable bluetooth with some effort - find the BT antenna (inside) and replace it with a load terminator - the radio thinks there's an antenna still but there is nothing that can be broadcast or received.

New RISC-V Raspberry Pi Alternative VisionFive V1 Coming Soon
To me the most amazing thing about Feynman was his enthusiasm for relatively mundane things such as the Rio Carnival, stripclubs, the bongos, painting and the fixation for going to Tuva which is a place forgotten by both god and men.

You'd think a guy who accomplished the things he accomplished would find it harder and harder to become enthusiastic about stuff, because of the effect of the hedonistic treadmill.

Somehow I think his biggest accomplishment was his ability to slow down the hedonistic tradmill.

To be fair— recruiting users is a sales/marketing process.
There may be someone on your team more naturally disposed to this task.

Firmament: Fast, Centralized Cluster Scheduling at Scale
I second this. I switched jobs a few months ago after a recruiter reached out to me based on a crappy LinkedIn profile that hadn't been updated in at least 6 years.

I get a fair amount of interest from recruiters and I don't consider it spam: they're doing their jobs and it might benefit me at some point. It's easy enough to decline someone's invitation if you don't want to connect with them.
Ah, you are right. My memory sucks. It's been in storage for many many years.
Not taking sides on this one other than to say I’ve been on both sides.

- I’ve been at “we agree on comp and the letter is coming” from a boutique consultancy only to learn “the CEO didn’t really approve funding it. But can you help us understand the market we were going to have you help us with?”

- I’ve been ready to make an offer for a funded position only to have the SVP say “Upon further consideration we have it leveled wrong” and then have to apologize to the candidate. (Who then went to the SVP to complain about me)

The lesson is these things happen in large and small companies even when everyone has the best of intentions. The situation sucks for all involved when it does. It’s not avoidable, but frequency can be managed. (Are you giving simultaneous offers for the same position?)

My only experience recruiting with this firm is being introduced to a recruiter via friend of one the folks listed in the thread. I had a quick HR screen. After 2 weeks I got a “We are going in another direction” position. Just one data point. I wish it had worked out.

Do either work as a daily phone for the owners? A Linux desktop can’t even run ARM android apps, yet it’s expected outdated ARM hardware will.

You say you’re been in GNU/Linux on mobile but assert PMOS didn’t have significant progress, had other running phones way before like the Nexus 5 and assert these new phones were the drivers of progress, what evidence is there they didn’t just drain resources from other projects?
Long story short: They replaced carefully crafted human readable rules with black box AI.

After ranking results by profit it wasn't even necessary anymore to index or present other results.

Equally unnecessary it then became to maintain or create any such websites.

The future, if you ask me, is carefully crafted invitation-only websites. Get back to information exchange just for the sake of sharing, discovering and learning.
thats not how gifs work ffs
Do you agree?

Absolutely!

I think we are very 'unlucky' (stupid) that we are accelerating a natural climate change that causes global warming.
Might be some confirmation bias on my end, but it seems common, especially if you turn on "show dead comments" in your account settings.
> I like HN to get the insider scoop, precisely this type of comment.

How can you treat it as "insider scoop" if there is no way to tell whether the facts are true or the person is what who they claim to be?

Would you accept that level of journalism? We can see what journalism does to society when you forgo any checks on the fact or the provenance. Just watch Fox News and come back to tell what you think about it.

If you are taking unsubstantiated, anonymous posts as facts you are just easy to manipulate.
So write those functions. Would be a minimal one-time investment that you could re-use everywhere.
as a software developer? It shouldn't matter. People shouldn't be discriminated for something like tattoos. Especially when software related stuff isn't as customer-facing as an actual bank teller
I don't think (at least in US) a minor can legally own crypto. A brokerage account for a minor can be done and throwing money into full-market ETF's every year (probably better to dollar cost average a monthly deposit) would accomplish the goal of giving them a nest-egg. This would also be in their name with you as the guardian. A typical brokerage account has a lot of knowns when it comes to taxes, gifts, estates, etc. but crypto has some unknowns as far as future legislation is concerned. There are rumblings of more crypto regulations, etc. so those could adversely impact the value if for example heavy regulation could mean large firms pull out billions affecting price? or maybe not?

This sparks a random thought about crypto and estates/wills - how does that work? Is it basically - whoever has the secret for a wallet owns it? How would a split of an estate work to 4 people?

The article was talking about the first computer science guy in a team of mathematicians. I don't know if mathematicians should be called technical, but they're hardly MBA types.
This was very similar to my experience. I had been writing code as a hobby for nearly a decade while working in TV production. In 2017, I attended Hack Reactor, an in-person bootcamp here in SF. I applied for engineering roles while practicing coding interview questions with probably close to 1000 applications netting about 40 follow-up interviews with around 10 or so on-site interviews. After eight months, I was offered a temporary role at a healthcare startup. Five months later that role ended, it was another couple of months before landing a role at O’Reilly Media where I now am a full stack software engineer working primarily in JavaScript and Python. I was elected “class president” by my bootcamp cohort. I was also the last person in my cohort of 30 people to be hired.
What's new in Kubernetes 1.23? Releases next week
Disclaimer: the following is still experimental, and will probably remain so for a while.

There is actually the --squash command that you can use during builds, to compress all of the layers: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/#...

For example:

$ docker build --squash -t my-image .

In practice it can lead to smaller images, though in my experience, as long as you leverage the existing systems in place efficiently, you end up shuffling around less data.

E.g.:

- layer N: whatever the base image needs
- layer N+1: whatever system packages your container needs
- layer N+2: whatever dependencies your application needs
- layer N+3: your application, after it has been built

That way, i recently got a 300 MB Java app delivery down to about a few dozen MB actually being transferred, since nothing in the dependencies or the base image needed to be changed since, it just sent the latest application version, which was stored in the last layer.

Also, the above order also helps immensely with Docker build caching. No changes in your pom.xml or whatever file you use for keeping track of dependencies? The cached layers on your CI server can be used, no need to install everything again. No additional packages need to be installed? Cache. That way, you can just rebuild the application and push the new layer to your registry of choice, keeping all of the others present.

Using that sort of instruction ordering makes for faster builds, less network traffic and ergo, faster redeploys.

I even scheduled weekly base image builds and daily builds to have the dependencies ready (though that can largely be done away with by using something like Nexus as a proxy/mirror/cache for the actual dependencies too). It's pretty good.

Edit: actually, i think that i'm reading the parent comment wrong, maybe they just want to update a layer in the middle? I'm not sure. That would be nice too, to be honest, though.
Yeah this is interesting - street photography has historically not involved a lot of consent, and photographers who professionally shoot in public have generally defended their right to do so.

Consider e.g. every photo in https://www.magnumphotos.com/shop/collections/books/rfk-fune... or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-J_Day_in_Times_Square -- those folks didn't consent and can't. It's not newsworthy, it's just artistically interesting. Fair enough if Twitter doesn't want to be a platform for it.
>Notoriously, they won't even allow Klingon.

I can't resist, gotta agitate about this. Unicode allocated space for the legendarily-untranslated Minoan script Linear A, for fuck's sake! Unicode allocated space for fucking Ogham script -- not that that's inappropriate, but it's unlikely to be used by the vast majority of people, now or in future, simply as a consequence of its antiquity and obsolescence.

Of course I'm revealing my 90s-trek power level here, but it's seriously puzzling (shading all the way up into quietly infuriating) that these dead languages' scripts are welcomed, while an, er, conlang that has actual living speakers can't have any of the frankly voluminous Unicodespace. QI'yaH!
We might be at a point where tiny looping MP4s have been called GIFs for so long that a whole generation is emerging not knowing what a GIF is.
"Selling charts to visualize data is a certain way of making data more accessible to certain customers, why not extend that to the visually impaired?" Royally messing up a product for the blind by not hiring real blind people would be worse. Without the market data that this would help the product survive, it's hard to take this as seriously as it demands. There's a reason people build for people like themselves - it's surprisingly easy to get things wrong for people unlike you
Meritocracy is a fallacious idea exactly because it ignores social context. It's the equivalent of talking about spherical cows. Meritocracy not only assumes you can judge merit perfectly and that merit is expressed perfectly, but also that it is observed and rewarded perfectly. None of these is true and none of this can be true in any human society.

Meritocracy is a form of elitism, perfect ability to select by merit or not. We would have end up with a moneyed elite either way.
Volatile memory consumes constant power to remember its value. Processing circuits only consume power when activated. And it's difficult to get the memory bandwidth saturated in a way that keeps all circuits busy. Computers do work in bursts; Then they wait for data. And practically all classical computer science data structures trash cache, like linked lists and OOP in general.
Lighter bikes are more comfortable to ride - they feel nimble. Modern frames absorb bumps while still being stiff to allow maximum leg power to actually go through the drivetrain instead of frame flex. Disc brakes make an enormous difference if you have long downhill sections or regularly ride in the wet. Sure there are diminishing returns, but better components really are better, and not just 20g lighter.

High end derailers shift easier, chains have lower friction (especially in high/low gears), spokes and rims are more aerodynamic and stiffer, ratchets have smaller engagement angles, brakes require less force and don't overheat, tyres have lower rolling resistance and better grip, seat posts have compliance to remove chatter etc., And this is before you get into eg. MTB specific features like chain clutches and suspension tuning, or for triathlon aero bars, for city bikes pannier clips and built in lights, etc
they talked so much about how important iphone for them, well.... i have google chrome on ios, go ahead and try to edit your query... good luck with that, it's just plain bad.
Prince's struggles with Warner bore other wonderful fruit, as well. Emancipation, Prince's first album after casting off the metaphorical shackles of Warner, is a superb album. It has 36 songs and spans 180 minutes, to give you a sense of the amount of artistic freedom that Prince must have been feeling at the time. Highly recommended listening for any casual Prince fan who wants to expand their knowledge of his repertoire. The man was an unqualified musical genius.
It is fascinating to me how much we are influenced by the things we see and hear.

I can practically detect which women I meet are active users of TikTok because they display certain nuances and tics which are fairly specific to women who upload videos to that platform. It doesn't bother me, but it is interesting from an ethnographic POV.

It's been set up to collect personal data and either build an advertising network (unsure how successful it would be) or sell to a highest bidder.

If this failed acquisition discourages future advertising/data collection companies it will be a major win for society.
Most of these 'cheap' SBCs are not supported by the mainline kernel or even by bootloaders such as u-boot. Which means you're stuck with a hacked-together Linux image, and no way to update or replace it. By contrast, the latest Raspbian release has replaced many formerly proprietary components with open ones. This involves some temporary breakage for existing users, but also improves support throughout the ecosystem.
"Any optimization you could do in Rust is probably easier in C++"

I think this feeling comes from the fact that it takes longer to learn the basics of Rust compared to C++.

However, once one has learned C++ or Rust to a reasonable level, I would argue that Rust is actually easier to use.

This is not the same thing but many people make this claim.
The Next Evolutions of DevOps
I assume by low/high you mean skill level, not closeness-to-the-metal?

Isn't this to be expected, though? As software consumption becomes more commoditized and de facto standards arise (your basic lookalike business webpage), more and more people are able to easily replicate the feat, and it becomes less about creativity and innovation and more just a matter of rote implementation, like any other manufacturing trade. Interchangeable agencies pumping out cookie-cutter code on an assembly line, with some white-labeling thrown in. Code is just another commodity (you can already produce usable code after a short boot camp, not unlike any other corporate training program).

These days what sells isn't even software engineering excellence, but just advertising bubbles inside walled gardens, driven by divisive and sensationalized content. What little "innovation" there is seems to mostly be B2B-toolchain related, shovel vendors desperately trying to sell to the next big garden, all funded by speculative VC money. It's just another bubble.

On top of that, after COVID, with more companies moving remote, US workers now have to compete with not just each other from different states, but a global labor pool that typically works way harder than we do for much less money. And with income inequality getting worse and privacy concerns growing stronger, there's only so many dollars to be had chasing viral networks of peasants... that well isn't going to run forever.

Like any other maturing business, what gets you the big bucks ends up being charisma, manipulation, and personality... not engineering. Proper "hard" engineering still pays the medium bucks, but most coders aren't like that, just various shades of amateur pumping out mediocre code for other mediocre companies, the same mediocrity most of the world has always run on, no matter their line of work. It's definitely not the 80s anymore, where coding is some elitist white-collar thing. It's just another job.
Crypto Vigilantes Are Hunting Scams in a $100B Market
You might be able to monetize through closer partnerships with companies like Microsoft, Atlassian, Amazon, etc.. I'm envisioning an ad system that is basically geared towards selling their cloud and DevOps services. Because the engine is geared towards programming queries, you might also entice these companies by showing that developers have an easier time troubleshooting their systems. Perhaps, eventually, the engine could be bought out and act like a loss-leader or funnel to services. I know Microsoft is trying to be very developer friendly.

Just some random thoughts. Monetization is a huge bootstrapping challenge for something like this.
Even better if there was a device like Google Glass that would take screenshots of everything in life.

Of course, this isn't realistic because it is too intrusive. But the basic idea is that it would just create a log for easy review and reduce need of relying on memory.

Work life usually has a lot of information rich sources such as emails, chats, etc.. But with personal life, it is usually much less reviewable and no such sources.
Just grasping at straws. Without taking into consideration, the magnitude of co2 getting emitted, we can even blame cavemen with their cook fires for global warming.
If they can’t be profitable as standalone businesses, by definition they’re failing as businesses.
What I'm suggesting is that maybe what matters is the total set of questions asked by all the interviewers. Does it really matter if one person asks questions for 2 hours as opposed to 6 people asking questions for 20 minutes each if the same questions are asked?

The former gives more flexibility to alter the questioning on the fly, such as to delve more deeply into some area than had been planned. The latter gets more people to spend time with the candidate.

A mix of this could be the best of both worlds. Have several short interviews mixed with some long ones. If one of the short ones turns up something that seems worth going in depth on that can be handled in one of the long interviews.
> But please note morality is an evolved collective strategy as well, a survivor in an extremely competitive landscape. It's not "above" evolution (unless you're into religious metaphysical arguments).

I don't fancy a debate right now, but I feel I should point out for observers that this is a minority position in the philosophy of ethics (for atheists and religious philosophers alike). At the very least it is possible (and common) to be a moral realist without making "religious" arguments.
