A better YouTube Studio (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26390419)

I also use "YouTube Captions Search": it is a tool that allows me to search for a word in a video by typing in text, and returning timestamps where said word is pronounced in the video. I want it to be able to search across a channel or a playlist. As in, I go to a channel, then type in a word, and it returns the videos and the timestamps where said word is used. If you have a collection of 200 videos and some of them addressed a topic, I want to go directly to the ones where the topic was addressed, and go directly to the timestamps.

A better Spotify player: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29250551) the current one sucks. I wish they'd just use YouTube.

A website where one could a visa appointment without refreshing the page: when you used to have access to some countries' ambassadors who had the grace and kindness to make that issue disappear, but then they move on to other countries, it sucks. I have a passport that gives me visa free access to countries that are a wreck and gets a "Haha, get the fuck out of here" from countries I need to go to. The website you use to schedule an appointment displays if there are openings. Openings are scarce, so you pay someone and give them your contact information, and they refresh the page all day long until there's an opening and they book an appointment for you. They have a list of customers and openings are fleeting. I wrote a prototype that does that automatically and this could be a service and a lucrative one, but I simply don't have the time. Practically all my time is put into the product we're building. My side project is the product we're building. My hobby is the product we're building, and I work on the product we're building to relax.

A service that could rebase my whole team to another country and take care of all the documents. I know of the existence of http://rebase.co/ but when I exchanged with Pieter Levels, he said the product doesn't do that and I'd do better to talk with a law firm with a high-touch treatment. I said I can't afford to be touched right now. The wait list is up until January and it sucks. Ideally, I'd like my team to be able to live elsewhere and have another mobility document than the passport they were born with that opens practically no port, except for fucking war zones or something.
If you log any sort of input from outside, then attackers get to supply their own URLs.

This will trigger even if you're doing it yourself because log4j also keeps recursively expanding macros in the log string until no more are found. So parameterizing your log statements isn't a defense against this the way parameterizing your SQL statements would be for SQL injection.
>"Voting with your feet" might work if it was hard to find people to replace you, but it's not.

If that's true, how would "Fight like hell to make it better" (presumably by threatening to withhold labor) work? They'll just replace you with the next batch of starry eyed graduates.
I've used autojump for years.

why would I go to the cheaper hospital when I can go to the more expensive and better hospital at the same cost to me (nothing, its the insurance companies problem).

price transparency does jack shit in such a market where the stakes are literally your health.

healthcare services do not compete on price they compete on quality of service.

the next step and what should have been the first step is a public option with a mandate that employers must offer it as one of the insurance coverages available. I'd even go further and say employers must offer public + 3 other private insurances and to opt out for an increase in base pay equal to what the employer contributes to the most expensive plan.

the natural pressures on the government to minimize wasteful spending on social services will take care of the rest as suddenly private insurance will have to compete with cheaper to you public insurance.
Well what if you have a profile on the site where you've put your interests or gender or something?
I quite enjoyed Egg Inc until a few years ago when the creator jacked the prices on everything and made it feel way more like a P2W past a certain point. Before that I had even spent some money on the game but after a, IIRC, ~50%+ increase and some new mechanics that felt very P2W I fell off. I still like the clicker genre but I prefer to play 1-time paid versions or ones where the only IAP is a 1-time purchase (remove ads or something like "pay once to play the rest of the game/proceed further").
BlueSCSI seems to be a rebrand of https://github.com/ztto/ArdSCSino-stm32.

edit: Some improvements were added.
If Google makes enough changes that eventually makes it impossible to merge upstream code while maintaining compatibility with the old APIs, then Brave and everyone else will either be stuck with old and unpatched Chromium versions or they'll have to waste resources to keep things working.

Not everyone has the resources to maintain their own Chromium fork and it's not easy to keep up with Google, Microsoft, Samsung, etc. Just look at Firefox.
> That's not true. If I'm forced to see ads they might as well be personalized.

Don't forget personalized prices, too. Or pushing on you the "premium" versions of products.

Haven't read this yet, but I'm having a hard time understanding the connection.

Pretty much everywhere I've been, these are independent paths. Sure, one can flip to the other side... But they're distinct ladders to climb

For the technical side you end up with some managerial tasks, like making sure your project is staying on time or deciding what to do when a feature tests stability. You probably do less work in the weeds, but still guide the technical direction

The other side is much more about people and the business in my experience. While the technical/development side maintains a lot of their focus
You can add a bookmark shortcut button with the address about:profile and that makes it more accessible. I added a key shortcut to the bookmark itself. Then I can use cmd + L to focus the address bar, type the letter p, and hit Enter. That opens the profiles page and it’s reasonably fast.

I also created a similar bookmark with a JavaScript snippet that removes fixed elements from the page, typically top bars. I now have it in my muscle memory.
Hard to explain the absence of something other than it's just not there. The list of projects/accomplishments are fine but the reality is that people lie about stuff like that. I poked around their recent GitHub commits but it was mostly bug reports. Nothing really that points to being obviously great at coding.

I see that on paper they're a great candidate, but the reason that companies do these tests is that often the candidate doesn't measure up to the resume
Variations of this often comes up often on HN.

Please note that:

- in some (many? most?) places IQ tests does not include questions that require memorizing anything neither before or during the tests. (In I spoke to one colleague who was into such stuff and he made a major point out of the fact that asking for facts would disadvantage certain parts of the population.)

- Something is measured using such tests even if they don't contain math or facts, only sorting sequences or figuring out what elements fit in a sequence.

- We call that something "intelligence". We could call it something else: "Synthetic problem solving skill", "fu", or whatever, but we typically call it "intelligence".

- On average that "intelligence" also seems to be a good indicator for a persons performance in many situations. As far as I know chess playing benefits greatly.

- People who play chess will again and again end up in situations they haven't seen before and cannot have memorized.

- in those situations, the same skills that are measured in an intelligence test will help a person calculate outcomes and choose one to their advantage
What I meant was that Exposé pretty much provided the missing purely window-oriented switching interface to complement the app-oriented interfaces that already existed. So once Exposé/Mission Control existed, there was even less need for a Windows-style Alt-Tab equivalent shortcut.
I think in thia case remittance is more of a way to create organic currency supply for btc. If you have btc from your son and the store owner you buy your fruits from has some btc from his son, why not to use btc for trade?

Currency has a gigantic network effect and this is seeding the network.

It’s not about the remittance per se.
Same here - inaccessible and broken site. Tor is blocked completely from accessing it. Man, I hate the modern web so much. Just put text and pictures in an HTML file and stop this insanity already.
The question for happiness, seems like it’s placed in an oddly competitive context.

“Please imagine a ladder, with steps numbered from 0
at the bottom to 10 at the top. The top of the ladder

personally feel you stand at this time?”

Most of the happiness data seems ended around 2014-2016.

That is a very bad take. What you are seeing are only those trucks that survived--because the trucks that didn't survive are too badly mangled to identify as trucks. If you look at some of the later pictures in this photo deck (https://fox2now.com/news/illinois/photos-tornado-destroys-ed...), you can make out several trucks whose occupants would be dead. At least one truck appears to be sheared cleanly in two. The trucks that survived appear to have done so largely because they were out of the main debris field.

Yes, but bad candidates are going to apply anyway. How many depends on the size and visibility of your company. I suspect that for FAANG, leetcode is a much better filter than random (or going by shoe size). And there must be a filter. Also, think about the cost of the time employees (developers) spend interviewing -- let's come up with something quick, standardizable, and programming-related. Leetcode.
I don’t see how it’s a “threat” or anywhere near a threat. Many people will sign a document because someone else says, “it’s good for you”. It’s good to know that you’re signing a legally binding document.

>If folks fail to pass a unionization vote now, they probably can't just go and vote for it later, it doesn't work that way.

That’s besides the point. Should people sign a document without knowing it’s legally binding or understanding what it entails, simply because the union vote might not happen again later?

Btw your post makes it sound as if the company is inherently evil or trying to screw its workers. Many capitalist businesses don’t want a union. And many unions are actually not effective.

I’m not in favor nor against this unionization, but there’s a clear bias here and attempt to manufacture outrage.
“Top Sheethead” is going to have me giggling on and off all day.
Yes. Discovery requests are going to be based on device, not browser profiles. If you use a personal computer to access work things that computer is going into discovery. Do not pass go. Do not whine about your browser profiles. End of argument.
Pilots retire at the mandatory retirement age of 65, which a friend of mine will do next year. He'd rather keep flying and I imagine his employer would prefer that too, given the pilot shortage. But he will also admit that the job his harder on him now than it was when he was 25, so the rule arguably makes sense.

In most places I've seen it's the non-technical PMs that deal with stakeholders so having a technical manager doesn't help that much except as an escalation point. And more broadly I feel if you're having to explain technical information to stakeholders then you've failed in much deeper ways. The person handling them should have built a good reputation of trust and provided good communication on what stakeholders really value. Very rarely have I seen them to really value technical details but rather ask for them when they simply don't trust the team anymore.
This is today's "news" and "journalism" - take something reasonable and distill it to hyperbole in 140 characters or less. Doesn't matter if it's true or false, so long as it evokes an emotional reaction and gets clicks. Truly sad to see how many minds have been dimmed by Twitter and other social media outlets.
Why? It could easily be optional by the way.

I would be ok with the recording as long as they don’t make my sign the form allowing it to be used as part of some public campaign.
> The modulo operator is somewhat rare in real code

Even if a candidate didn't know that modulo even existed they could still get the remainder with simple division and subtraction.
Modulo might be slightly different depending on the language, but for fizzbuzz that's not important and most likely not what you're expected to know in such an interview question. And while it is not the most common operator it is still one of the most basic ones and present in all languages you'd use during a job interview.
Many large retailers are accepting Bitcoin here in El Salvador using the Lightning Network or Chivo.

What I've seen is that those who recently bought Bitcoin, didn't want to spend their Bitcoin if they had USD.

At least last month, when Bitcoin price was going up, they preferred to spend USD instead of Bitcoin.
I mean, that message is a threat:

“Defeated at the Battle of Philippi on October 23, 42 BCE, Brutus and Casca killed themselves”

I agree, the naked Greek warrior is art rather than showing hot climate uniform/dress. The coins are cool but the history is off. It was Cassius and not Casca. Cassius and Brutus committed suicide separately after losing the 1st and 2nd battles of Phillipi respectively. Not on the same day either.
Counterprogramming. That reminds me of a guy who used to come on Johnny Carson's show once a year (IIRC) to talk about the new fall season of TV. He had a big board with all the weekday prime time time slots and a bunch of sticky signs (Velcro? magnets?) for the shows both old and new and he'd do a spiel where he'd shuffle them at manic speed, demonstrating how network execs program prime time. It was quite entertaining. Does anyone else remember this guy ? Any pointers to info about it ?

I never said half the crap people said I did.

—Paul Graham
My job requires me to spend hours online, including on a lot of news sites. I block all ads for my own mental health: The last thing I want is ads that are calculated to work me up and make me angry/upset following me around everywhere because of my job. Likewise, just because I work doesn't mean I should be forced to be a captive audience for companies/groups trying to work me up.

On a larger scale, I believe the mental health harms to the general populace of incessant and emotionally manipulative advertising is far worse in consequence than some artists not earning money (and I've supported myself writing fiction, I'm not dismissing creators here). If artists earned money but it required 80% of the population to become hooked on bath salts, I'd consider that a problem.

Also, I have MS and that includes some twitches/spasms + I'm slightly visually impaired so I have some accessibility stuff set up and jumping/moving ads etc. are a common issue for me, as is engaging on accident through a finger/hand spasm. Now consider how many people are elderly or have vision issues; I feel like ads are uniquely predatory to certain populations.

Carl Sagan, in the opening to his book Billions and Billions:

> I never said it. Honest. Oh, I said there are maybe 100 billion galaxies and 10 billion trillion stars. It’s hard to talk about the Cosmos without using big numbers. I said “billion” many times on the Cosmos television series, which was seen by a great many people. But I never said “billions and billions.” For one thing, it’s too imprecise. How many billions are “billions and billions”? A few billion? Twenty billion? A hundred billion? “Billions and billions” is pretty vague. When we reconfigured and updated the series, I checked—and sure enough, I never said it.

> But Johnny Carson—on whose Tonight Show I’d appeared almost thirty times over the years—said it. He’d dress up in a corduroy jacket, a turtleneck sweater, and something like a mop for a wig. He had created a rough imitation of me, a kind of Doppelgänger, that went around saying “billions and billions” on late-night television. It used to bother me a little to have some simulacrum of my persona wandering off on its own, saying things that friends and colleagues would report to me the next morning. (Despite the disguise, Carson—a serious amateur astronomer—would often make my imitation talk real science.)
I kind of care about my data, but like you, what I really want is to not see any ad ever. Which is what I have right now.

If it goes away I don't know how I would cope.

Maybe it would reduce my Internet consumption, which would be a good thing overall...?

It's not in the same universe as a threat! The only negative thing the letter says is that unionizing will mean the CWA has exclusive representation rights. They don't suggest that there will be any negative effects on wages or employment practices or retention.

I'm not sure what the "it" you're referring to is, but I'm pretty confident it's possible to continue a unionization drive indefinitely or drop it and restart it later. Restrictions come into play only at later steps in the process; until the CWA gets enough union authorization cards to petition for an election or ask for voluntary recognition, there's no deadlines or cooldown periods involved.
I have been using this workflow for years now. It separates literally everything: cookies, site settings, window size and position, configuration, add-on settings, etc.

This way I can emulate a fresh profile, a restricted profile with tracking protection, and a completely locked down profile with more or less everything disabled. My private Firefox in completely unaffected by my development profiles and I can open multiple profiles at once, theme them differently, and I know exactly which kind of instance I'm using.

It's excellent and works flawlessly for over a decade now.
I use “regular” Firefox for personal stuff and the developer edition for work. After trying a lot of approaches for that separation, it’s what’s worked best for me. Also the developer edition has a cool/different icon
I added a 6Mb hard disk drive to my H11. This required building an interface card, and writing the device driver for it.

I used as a model the device driver for the floppy drive. I was rather amazed at how it worked - it was loading instructions into memory as it was executing the previous instruction just loaded. The instructions were also simultaneously handling two independent values in the upper and lower bytes. A marvel of compactness.

By the time of the PDP-11/34 things were much more integrated though. Mask IC ROMs. The front panel/interactive serial debugger were actually controlled by an Intel 8008 microprocessor. You needed a computer just to boot the computer even then.

Could you expand on this? What code did you see, where, and doing what? Were you part of this team?

I think you're being needlessly reductive here. The article itself explicitly states that "using computers" is not what's new.
