As someone who is working on a YT-driven playlist for music myself, I absolutely -HATE- how YT handles deleted and unpublished videos. They strip all information from the player and it can break applications that rely on them.

Applications that leverage YouTube go far in helping Google to maintain it's market dominance, they should help reliant apps to operate smoothly because it greatly supports the company, but if the service is faulty or unreliable over a long period of time without any fixes available, it's probably just a willful handicap to drive people back to YT as a platform rather than truly enabling content sharing.

I understand that there are often valid reasons behind removing videos from display, but YT should at least allow for the title to remain, or a link back to the poster's channel, after a video is no longer available so it doesn't just display a "Video Not Available".

If someone publishes a video, but then needs to edit out parts, the video still exists, but all prior links to it are suddenly broken. That makes using YT for embedded video difficult even though they're the #1 video content platform.

App developers can't simply stand up a "bootleg" streaming service of their own with the level of diverse content that YT has, therefore YT has a bigger responsibility to fix the stability of the content they provide, possibly by allowing creators to replace videos instead of having to completely re-upload them with a new content ID. We're really not able to properly innovate unless we're truly solving traditional and not letting long-standing problems persist.

Um. Please go do a little research about Venezuela's situation before proposing a simple, wrong solution. They have badly mismanaged their financial and political situation for a long time and are not equipped to make the necessary changes to remedy this (whether the answer be "print more money").

If you'd like to know more about their situation, I recommend reading "The Prize" and "The Quest". Much of the root of their problems come from nationalizing their oil industry and subsidizing local oil, although that's not the entire explanation.
That sounds like a great deal of work that ought to have been needless. And Envoy is a second system, not part of K8S proper.
Isn't it time for everyone to move on to TeXmacs, not only for WYSIWYG editing of scientific/math documents, but also for note taking and even programming?
> Linux was popular because was fast on x86 hardware.

Because it booted fast? I don't understand that metric. We don't reboot servers. IMO Linux was a fad, but it faked it until it made it in 2008-2012. The death march of Sun had a lot to do with it. Linux, even today, never held a candle to the stability of any Sun system.

> With ports you could get into a situation where one program would not compile or when it needed another library that the one installed which broke things.

Comparing (I assume) apt to ports is Oranges to Apples. Ports is a source-based package management system. Apt is binary based. There are different goals here.

> Also BSD wars turned a lot of developers away from BSD.

What??! Did I miss the "BSD wars?" BSD won the UNIX wars prior to the Millennium. I'm not sure what you're saying. There'd be no GNU without BSD, and Linux would not be an operating system without GNU. Linux is more GNU than Linux.
> If oil was $10000 per barrel, they would power ships with nuclear or gasp wind power just like before.

Great! Nuclear and wind are both carbon-neutral. I would be very satisfied with that.

> But the concept that stuff from 5000 miles away "should" be more expensive, and that we should make policy based on that assumption, is just ridiculous.

No, that's not the argument I'm making. The argument I'm making is that stuff that has caused more carbon emissions 'should' be more expensive, and conversely, stuff that caused less carbon emissions 'should' be (relatively) less expensive.

How many miles that stuff happened to travel is only material to the discussion insofar as transport tends to cause carbon emissions.
some people still go to stores to buy things
Apple usually lags a bit in both directions. During the previous fluctuations Apple again had a period of extremely cheep prices, then raised the prices to match the dollar value and once the lira stabilised a bit they adjusted the prices again. In general, Apple gives quite a bit of buffer before adjusting the prices.
What would you say is the best example of a concrete, real-world use case for one of those tokens that would refute the article's claim that blockchains are “a solution in search of a problem”?

I ask because a lot of these things (exchanging one USD-pegged token for another, borrowing a token for another token) seem like problems that wouldn't exist to begin with, without blockchains.
Does anyone know where Zillow get its dataset from? I reckon it's essentially sale price? Can a "hobbyist" investor do the same?
So a detail I didn't see from the others to add on. Tetris technically allows you to push the button every frame, so 60 moves/second would be optimal if you ignore physical limits of the controller etc. With the oldest way of playing called DAS (I forget what it stands for) after a couple frames it starts inputting really fast, but you have to store inputs to manage to make it move the way you want efficiently. This new rolling is the fastest way found so far to press the direction buttons quickly and get as many presses per second possible to better position blocks.
I don't think so, and I don't remember that ever happening. Turkish Lira has always been devaluating. Black Friday is a thing here (with a different name but basically the same thing) but things were already at a skyrocketed price that only some items just went down to a "still expensive but sane" level.

No, you've misunderstood. Netflix (the website and other such things) runs on AWS using Linux. However, Netflix, the streaming service that their website and apps use, runs on FreeBSD and is not on AWS.
I worked for an e-commerce site that sold cars in Turkey in Euros. Sometime in 2018 I think it was, Erdogan made a new law that said everything had to be traded in Lira.
You do know that experience with a particular technology is only a tiny part of the equation here, right? A veteran with 20 years in the industry has seen a LOT more stuff than someone with 10 years in the industry, irrespective of the tech stack. To call the two equivalent is very short sighted, especially at the Staff/Principal level where that person is ostensibly responsible for making high impact decisions.
From the abstract

> ...the personality of infected men showed lower superego strength (rule consciousness) and higher vigilance. Thus, the men were more likely to disregard rules and were more expedient, suspicious, jealous, and dogmatic. The personality of infected women, by contrast, showed higher warmth and higher superego strength, suggesting that they were more warm hearted, outgoing, conscientious, persistent, and moralistic. Both men and women had significantly higher apprehension compared with the uninfected controls.

Hey,

As I've worked in design and development, I've found resources that have been most helpful at teaching principles are the ones that can present content in multiple formats, especially ones that are interactive.

I worked on Egghead courses focused on building animations in React that resonated really well with users because what is being taught is so visual. Before that, I worked on the docs for Gatsby.js and designed a lot of tutorials and content, including illustrations and interactive components we embedded in our docs that were also very well received by our community.

I decided to combine some of those things that I love and put them together in a course platform where I could organize and store tips and strategies for good UI design, alongside fundamental principles and theories.

I'm having fun with the project and interested to hear feedback! Thanks!
Cheers that was too interesting not to post! Looks amazing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29361699

Well in one case you have arbitrage and are actively losing money, in the other case you are potentially losing sales due to the product being too expensive. So no I don't expect as Swift of an action.
How to stop long-running code with Python's stopit package
Fair enough, but do you have any actual evidence that actual physiological causes are the majority? 2 people I know have bad back pain due to car accidents. For everyone else, no clear source of the back pain has been found. Occasionally they point to issues with herniated discs or pinched nerves, which makes sense, but from what I've read, most people who have such conditions do not suffer chronic back pain, which makes it a dubious cause.

My PCP doesn't bother treating back pain that isn't due to an obvious injury. He said that in his decades of looking into it, he's observed:

1. None of the treatments out there show good evidence of actually working vs a placebo.

2. While it often recurs, each episode almost always resolves on its own.

He does not believe it has a psychological cause - he's just frustrated with the current state of medicine regarding it and doesn't want his patients to go through a treatment believing they're actually treating the underlying condition. He will prescribe whatever the patient asks for (pain killers, physical therapy, etc).

The only time he pays attention is when the pain extends to the legs, which is the minority of the times.

https://www.quora.com/What-crop-including-tree-crops-produce...

Most peoples' gardens aren't exclusively growing staple crops, so some land would need to be set aside for nutritional completeness. Calories/acre isn't a complete picture; root vegetables require less processing than grains. In a "collapse of supply chains" situation, that needs to be included.

If you're using them to supplement sunlight, the electricity required depends on your local climate, efficiency of your lights, etc. I've found that the most readily available data on that is from marijuana enthusiasts, amusingly.
All of these are just castles in the sky if you don’t have a connection back to the real world.

You might argue stablecoins are that connection but in that case you have to deal with both the fact that you could then do all these things in the traditional way more efficiently and that the stable coin situation itself is looking dodgy as hell.

Smoking a turkey with Prometheus, Home Assistant, and Grafana
This is the guy who has been writing the same things about crypto for the past 2 years. He makes a lot of extremely arrogant assumptions then extrapolates from them to weave a narrative that confirms the biases of his readership.

I'm not sure why he's constantly re-iterating his opinions with new blog posts... he hasn't seemed to update his knowledge at all since 2019, and his opinions haven't changed.

He seemingly has no concern for the state of the economy and public institutions, nor any awareness of the cryptocurrency scene beyond the cryptobros.

For anyone trying to understand why so many people are supportive of crypto, first you have to understand why they are against centralization. The whole cryptocurrency "movement" is about solving political and economic problems through technological means, with the main target being centralized power.

For most, centralization isn't such a bad thing and seems to be working quite well. These are generally the people who, for example, don't think Google is doing anything particularly wrong. For others, decentralization is the only path to simultaneously progress society and untether it (lol) from legacy institutions. Blockchain is the technology that can enable that and usher in more fair and resilient community systems. That's the "use case" that Stephen Diehl is incapable of finding.
It's been a few years since I was in Turkey, but at the time, most stores took Euros. And street vendors even preferred it.

However, whether Apple is allowed to use Euros for the retail prices in store or not may be a legal matter. There are plenty of countries where it's illegal not to price and sell in the government's preferred currency.
Ostensibly, goods imported and bought with USD will have their prices inflated, while locally produced goods and services should remain more or less unchanged.

This also means that exported goods are effectively cheaper for international buyers, so export volume goes up.

Likewise I worked at a company whose business revolved around mail processing and high-speed paper handling. The problems caused by an ink that can dry fast enough to not smear when you're printing 200 pieces/minute drove a ridiculous amount of software design.

Stable enough for curious and intrepid home or laptop users. But in 2005 Linux was premature for the data center, just had a lot of momentum from fanatics. I used RedHat Linux servers in 2001 for production processing, but this was at a startup (which never quite made it, but also didn't quite die... purchased by another company. I believe still in existence, but with no compelling reason for existence today).

I’m kindof shocked by what you’re pitching here. The instructions for most turkeys would have you cook at either 325F or 350F for somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-15 minutes per pound.

Despite what you put in a parallel comment, “low temps” aren’t what dry meats out. Jerky is dry because it’s cooked radically longer than you’d cook the equivalent meat for a dinner plate.

It’s pretty obvious rationally that cooking a turkey at a higher heat for longer is going to overcook it. That’s especially humorous given your note about how the turkey packaging is optimized for food safety: if they’re confident that 325 at 15minute/lb is enough to be safe, why the heck are you aiming for hotter/longer?
Python proper is terrible for analyzing data at scale.

It's the numpy, scipy, jupyter tools, as well as Anaconda, that make the sale.

Too, it's not just the analysis, but the extract/transform/load (ETL) beforehand. Python's general purpose wealth of tools had me transforming the FCC antenna coverage .zip[1] to shapefile and parking it in a spatialite file for QGIS in a relative jiffy.

Doubtless I could do all that in Julia or R, but I get to hone my python-fu at the office doing cloud stuff by day--another argument in favor of the general-purpose tool.

Start with the system you're on

Or, pull out an emulator & go with a system where people may've been more prone to develop in assembly (eg 6502 & then try make a rom that'll run in an NES emulator)

For the most part once you learn one assembly language you've learnt them all. After load/store/registers/arithmetic/jumps the rest is just details (ofc, if you're programming assembly beyond a hobby, the devil is in the details for performance)
> If I can't recall "x.somePropertyThatHasARidiculousNameIAlwaysForget" then there are other more serious problems.

I just prefer to press less keys. It shouldn't obscure anything in a decent IDE.

Often you are working with other people's code and having to "recall" every single property, method, etc declared is not practical, hence why I mentioned having to keep referring to the documentation for things you are not accessing very often.

If I keep forgetting that a property is .lastname and not .lastName in a library I'm using I can just type "last" and press tab.

This is even more crucial in dynamic languages like JS, where you will get a failure at runtime and not compile time.

It doesn't make you any "less of a programmer", it makes you a more efficient one once you are used to it.
How do you get away with working so little? You don't have meetings? Or people pinging you during the day?

The only place where I really met high expectation is in finance. The amount of ten-seconds-for-the-answer-or-we-stop-the-interview questions was enormous.

Last 5 places I interviewed, 2 didn't ask LC at all, and I still failed at 4.

Also, for LC, you should work on it for 15-30 minutes and then look at the solution. It's the most efficient way. If you don't even understand the task, just don't do it. Similarly, sites like codeforces allow you to group tasks by algorithm and to sort them by number of people that solved them (and you can look at the solutions). This also simplifies the knowledge acquisition.

As for being a principal/staff engineer. This is all new to me and I have no idea how much these individuals code or what exactly they do (although I'm currently starting a principal engineer role in a company of around 300 engineers). So I assume either I'm silly or the title inflation is rampant.
Although, the interview required operating systems, networking, algorithms, hardware, people skills, low/high level programming language knowledge that I guess I have. The questions were: "How does a UI library work?", "Describe this networking protocol?", "How many syscalls are triggered by npm install?", and whatever other question that they ask you to go as deeply as possible as you can.
> Because there's a societal need to ensure that the housing stock is safe and effective.

And this is accomplished via building codes, which are rigorous and applied almost uniformly in the U.S.

> We invest (or should) a lot of our taxes into local amenities to ensure that housing is provided the best environment. Transport, schooling, roads, etc.

And this is the model that has made blue cities unaffordable for the poor. They're not environmentally friendly either, their schools are awful, amenities poor, and transportation lacking. It would be hard to find one single issue where there is even parity of centrally planned quality-of-life concerns in blue cities vs red cities.

The question is not "regulations" persay. There is no magical regulation slider bar that can be adjusted to optimal result. It's what those regulations seek to accomplish. In many U.S. urban metros, those regulations are targeted to what city policy thinks the owners should do with their property, and not what they want to do with it. It's not clear those regulations have had their intended effect.

Agreed. There's a lot of opportunity there if people are willing to adapt to local norms, even if that means setting aside past (often hard-won) lessons. Some can. Some can't. Most don't really know if they can or not until they try. That's all fine, but I do take issue with this.

> you need to climb the EM ladder

No. Many of these companies take pride in being "engineer first" but that's a false claim if engineers are discouraged from challenging the local orthodoxy too much and only high-level execs may do so. It's too easy for territoriality and NIH to set in, or for real progress to be replaced with mere churn. Didn't we learn these lessons with older tech giants like IBM or AT&T or DEC? They had the same pattern of people replacing one internal system with an almost identical one, because reaping credit and promotions that way was easier than fighting for true change. They had the same pattern of people who had learned those habits too well becoming DEs or fellows and using the same "guardians of the culture" excuse to enforce conformity for its own sake. And look where it got them.

Obviously those who wish to challenge the status quo need to balance that with productive work within the existing paradigm, and strong claims require strong evidence (which a VPE is unlikely to have BTW), but that's exactly why there should not be additional barriers. I was not the first or only person at Facebook to observe that the whole thing would come crashing down if not for an ever-changing cast of engineers determined to do the right thing despite the effect they knew it would have on their PSCs. In a true engineer-first culture challenges to the status quo would be encouraged and engaged, but in my experience that wasn't always the case. Corporate ossification wasn't only a problem for prior generations.
