Yeah I'm not sure about quoting Christopher McCandless so much... I was fascinated by him as well but end of the day he was a super young dude who decided to go into the wild with insufficient preparation, on purpose, and died of hunger. It is what it is. He never amounted to become Yoda or Ghandi or anything that we should be so comfortable in quoting him.

> A once in a hundred year weather event would be enough to keep a population going.

The article notes that it was nowhere near enough, and with the loss of its primary dispersers the once-widespread genus had enormously shrunk in variety and range both before it got recycled as natural fencing:

> According to my field guide, Osage-orange has a limited natural range in the Red River region of east-central Texas, southeastern Oklahoma, and adjacent Arkansas.

> [...]

> fossils tell us that Osage-orange was much more widespread and diverse before the megafaunal extinctions. Back then, Osage-oranges could be found north up to Ontario, and there were seven, not just one, species in the Osage-orange genus, Maclura.

(sp: there are 12 extant species of Maclura according to the wiki — most of them from asia though one is native to south america and one central america, I expect the author implied "in NA")
“Globalist” refers to the idea for one world government effectively. Generally, one set of rules, trade, no borders, etc.

I'm working on extracting Chinese subtitles from video in order to make it easier to learn the language using them. Probably 95% of all Chinese videos have hard subs. Some have soft subs but it's still pretty rare. This is certainly important to me, to allow me to learn faster with less effort so that I can talk to in-laws and family in China, and immerse myself in the culture. https://zimu.ai
1) Cars have had baked-on finish for 20+ years and generally don't rust through anymore, even with the ice melt put on roads in Minnesota;

2) Roads in Minnesota are not destroyed by salt + plows. Roads are destroyed by frost heave and by heavy trucks traveling on them as the ground freeze gradually melts in the spring. Locales in Minnesota have "road restrictions" in the spring to try to minimize the latter effect - that is, dump trucks/semis are limited to about 50% capacity per axle to try to minimize the damage done to the roads they drive over.
What Does Matter Protocol Mean for Smart Homes?
I am scratching my head here. BTC went up 167.55% in value over the last 12 months. How could this be a failure? If El Salvador invested in ANYWAY in btc they should be a massive success story. Sure people can't use the coin efficiently yet, but it a great place to store currency for a government. (Especially countries with corruption issues - due to the blockchain and accountability).
Bicycles are much more unstable than motorcycles, it’s more difficult for bicycles to avoid objects in some situations since you cannot brake and accelerate in a small timeframe, they take more time to return to a high speed after you brake, etc.

Same reasons why you cannot drive small motorcycles on highways here in Italy, even if they can easily reach 110km/h they are not allowed on even second tier highways.

I don't think bitcoin "Failed" necessarily there.People should keep the distinction between "politican" promises of hype.In the case of political talk+ crypto talk, the hype is squared and one should take the square root to take a wild guess of where things will probably be.

And i'm no fan of bitcoin by any stretch, but what exactly is the problem?Still better than hyping up and industry and then becoming broke, like venezuela; though i recognize that particular example(which is relevant given the geopolitics here) triggers many.I've personally heard a lot of common people(think shop owners) that at least think this move was a good idea.

This article is weird. It doesn’t seem to explain why bitcoin “failed”, just seems to suggest that El Salvador is not yet an economic paradise after 8 months.

I like what this guy is doing. Sure it could fail. But obviously the SOP has already failed. Good for him and good for the people of El Salvador.
Ask HN: How Podcast Distribution Works
I noticied that podcasts are really different from videos, unlike youtube and twitch, the same podcast or episode can exist in different apps and platforms, spotify, google, itunes, etc ..., is it something that the publisher take care of or is there a centralized place, a kind of RSS freed to find all podcasts in the world ?

Thanks !
It’s not that it wouldn’t work, it’s that in order for management to put this kind of restriction on their own power in place, they’d have to first admit they need it. People usually don’t like to tie their own hands.

What's really great is if you can get the interviewer talking about themselves. If you're lucky you'll spend the entire interview nodding and saying things like, "wow", "that's really cool. How did you come up with that?". At the end, if it's the kind of interviewer that will talk about themselves for an hour straight they're going to love you, just sat there and let them be the center of attention. The problem is do you want to actually work for someone like that.

If Mercedes-Benz is able to define conditions where their self driving software is guaranteed to work fully autonomously without human intervention and Tesla can't, that in itself is an actual advantage over Tesla's system even if Tesla's system can do more with human monitoring in other conditions.

If Tesla is also able to get approval for this (which might be hard if they push OTA updates that completely change the way the software works all the time and can't guarantee there won't be regressions) then they should by all means do so.

I'm not doubting your point that the U.S. has both the incentive and track record to interfere with El Salvador.

Religious fan-fics are really cool. I did something like this too at some point a long time ago.

I think this provides a very interesting opposing force to dogma.

It also enables you to easily one-up conspiracy theorists when you encounter them. One-uping them is a wonderful strategy of dealing with someone who insists on being divorced from scientific reality.
Can. In order to reach that end you need to break character and choose to stop making paperclips. The Paperclip AI is always propositioned to be able to make more paperclips or to not. Which would they choose?
I've had a few times in driving school where I'd interpret an end of speed limit wrong and go to the slower tier rather than the faster one. I got yelled at by the teacher on the passenger seat quite a bit. It's just not tolerated to go slower than the speed limit if there no good reason for it and it will lose you points in a driving exam, if not lose you the exam right away. At least that's how it is in France.

That's a bit extreme I think. Tech changes yes. But let's say you were a a C#/C++/Java/Python/Ruby dev 10 years ago - how bad has it all changed in the last 10 years that your entire experience is somehow nullified? I'm not denying that some higher-ups like to adopt this line of thinking to justify hiring cheap juniors. Self respecting engineering companies don't really buy this bull.

Worth saying that dependency-check I'm pretty sure hadn't picked it up as of Friday. It takes a while to get to the NVD lists and with this bug you don't have that kind of time.

> It's important to remember that it's also YOU interviewing THEM.

I agree with what you said in the rest of the comment, but I'd like to go one step further with the idea of "YOU interviewing THEM". Let's add some symmetry!

Let's make the interview double the usual time, and half of it I get to ask the other side to solve LC problems that I pick at random, or design systems I made up the day before, or behavioural questions about their past experiences. According to companies, that is the only way to assess if a person is good enough for the job, so I'd like to use the same method to find out if I want to work there.
There is no reason to believe that money would actually solve the issue, and maybe even exacerbate it.

The log4j issue is product debt, similar to the sqlite fts tokenizer exploit, and a lot of the openssl exploits, features that are rarely used, and are in the codebase for "no good reason" (from the majority of user's standpoint)

I think the way to make for those things to happen less, is in fact, to code less, and make more small things rather than one giant bloat of features. Paid or not paid, security becomes near impossible after certain amounts of interconnected components.

> In theory a phone screen is supposed to evaluate whether a) this person would be good at the job being hired for and b) whether it's worth investing another five hours in trying to hire this person.

They also screen whether or not you communicate well, your motivations for looking for work and whether that matches the role and future growth of the role, whether there are any logistical or compensation-based blockers to the role...

Frankly, getting all the deal-killers out of the way is the point of the phone screen. Figuring out whether you can actually do the job, and do it well, is for later phases of the interviews.

I feel like the hiring process is often misunderstood. The first screen is one of two things - if you are working with a company directly, it is just a screening for deal-killers. If you are working with an outside recruiter, it is them trying to understand you to know how to market you to the hiring manager.

In either situation, though, if they are getting into remote coding of algorithms on an initial phone screen, something is really off in their hiring process.

South Africa drew the short straw as far back as in May 2021, as they opted for a slower vaccine rollout.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56944400

With 25% vaccinated they are an easy target for a new Corona variant. Many western countries are well into 70% vaccinated, which makes it hard to draw any conclusion from what is happening in South Africa.
So deranged conspiracies only believed by the far-right?

Also you listed “trade” with no qualifier. Is the entire concept of trading a path to one world government? That’s a pretty serious leap in logic.

I've always thought it would be fun do say, "Ok, this sounds like a fun game. It's only fair that if you get to ask me a question I get to ask you one." I'd be willing to bet 90% of the interviewers would crumble on the first question. I've noticed that most of the interviewers not only select their questions ahead of time but also have to do research so they are sure they know the answers too.

Isn't interviewing in pairs fairly common? When being interviewed, there's always been two people across from me for the technical rounds; anything 1-on-1 is limited to initial phone screens and final rounds with the bigwigs. When conducting interviews, I've always been one of two, with the exception of one time when no one else was available to join me, which I'd prefer not to repeat.

I would go so far as to say a random passive observer is still a great idea in addition to two active interviewers.
Agenda? Hit-piece?

Matt Levine had a good take on it: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-11-22/be-car...

It is certainly a shame, but I'm confident that Dagger and its new DTable should be able to cover all of the ground that JuliaDB covers, while being far easier to maintain. I think JuliaDB had some great ideas, but it didn't go far enough with composability, instead opting to use a limited set of table types (no internal DataFrames.jl support), fully focusing on loading from CSV (which is a horrible data format, albeit very common), and supporting only one CSV reader/writer (CSVFiles.jl). Of course, all of this could get fixed; but with JuliaComputing no longer funding its direct development, and no one dedicating the large portions of time necessary to fix all the outstanding issues and begin developing and merging features, JuliaDB isn't moving anywhere fast.

Thankfully, Dagger is under active maintenance, and has financial support through the JuliaLab (by employing me). Krystian Guliński, the DTable's author and maintainer, is also interested in developing and maintaining the DTable further (having created it as part of his schooling), and will hopefully stay on the Dagger team for the foreseeable future.
While it's not one of my fav game of all time, I have to say it was a great opportunity for me to try Stadia. I preordered the game and it came with a 1 month pro subscription, a controller and a chromecast all included for free, and I enjoyed smooth bug-free play from launch day (I have a gigabit connection so felt native). Highly recommend! Full disclosure, I haven't played in a while because the game selection is limited. I just want to play "quadruple A" titles like Last of Us 2 and RDD2.

I second this! Clicker games are a great introduction to game design!

If you are trying to teach a kid how to build games, go on Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu) and it should take you about 10 minutes to build the most basic form of a clicker game: place a character on the screen, set a click event, increment a score variable.

And then you can add slightly more logic to make it more interesting. My kids and I put together this slightly more engaging clicker game in only an hour: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/599845292/
