I hate to say it but man, I miss Flash!! The websites, interactions and animations we were able to create in it 20 years ago..! There is still nothing that comes close to productivity and quality of output. I am disappointed that Adobe butchered Flash and wasn’t able to come up with modern and mobile friendly version. The war with Apple should have pushed them forward. Instead they gave up.

Ask HN: What does the perfect employee look like?
Seeing as recruitment for any company can be challenging, a good place to start for trying to hire good 'culture-fits' is to ask yourself what the perfect employee looks like.

In your experience, what characteristics does the perfect employee have?

Disclaimer: Putting aside the fact that there is no such thing as a perfect employee, I would like to know what you think one would look like in your experience.

Some ideas from my side:

TEAM PLAYER
If the company works with teams primarily, then a poor team player can spell disaster no matter how technically gifted they are. A good team player is therefore necessary.

TECHNICALLY EXCELLENT
They have experience in the tech stack of their position. The more experience the better of course.

GREAT SOFT SKILLS
Probably the most overlooked in my experience. We had an excellent tech lead when starting our company, but he could not work with anyone or teach anyone. He was completely inept socially and would insult people (whether he meant to or not) on a regular basis.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
Difficult to measure, but incredibly important. A good senior engineer with bad comms are inconvenient to work with. A mid-level engineer with excellent comms are a pleasure to work with.
Careful now. SVG uses a lot of XML features that goes beyond "basic XML parsing".

To define a subset of SVG doesn't imply that simplifying the XML part is going to be easy.
This websocket was also listening on external interfaces so a non-browser client could have sent whatever headers it wanted.
What is your definition of front end that it needs scaling? What is your setup that a proxy and CDNs aren’t enough scalability for a front end? I haven’t encountered a case where the front end is ever the scaling bottleneck so I have to assume that if it is in your case you either are doing something novel or you are defining something that is usually back end as front end.
Perhaps ... but it's right up there for endemism, maleficence, duplicity, and propaganda.
> ... not to actually prevent anybody to infringe human rights; people with enough power can always do that. Rather, like any other form of contract ...

That's a very insightful analysis, thank you.

I think another example of this is Google having a motto of "Don't be evil". Obviously a motto isn't enough to prevent evil, and it can't even define what "evil" actually means, but, like you say, it is a tripwire, or like a warrant canary, and a reminder to the public to always be vigilant against the threat that such a powerful entity represents.

(The point of this comment isn't to condemn Google, as I think it's probably the least evil of the MAMAA oligarchs, and people can decide for themselves whether Google's motto worked while it existed).
I don't see how Facebook could claim copyright over the created animations and restrict what you could do with them. The language of the terms of service even acknowledges that ("you grant Facebook ... license to reproduce ... derivative works).

The basic element of copyright is some level of creative input. Mass, automated transformative processes without human input traditionally don't count as creative (e.g. compiling source code with a compiler usually doesn't mean that compiler authors get copyright over the binary as a derived work).

AI is recently being presented as kind of a gray area where if you remove the inputs far enough from the outputs with huge, incomprehensible machine learning models the outputs count as original works, even when provenance is sometimes clear in the end (e.g. see the whole debate about GitHub Copilot regurgitating well-known pieces of code). I suspect that's mostly the big tech companies lobbying and pushing for this re-interpretation of copyright.
I think I do not understand the numbers. You wrote "costs/duration" so higher the number the worse solution (bigger costs or worse durability), yet the descriptions suggests otherwise.

To paraphrase the gangster saying “It’s easy to be a vocal proponent of human rights when it’s not your power that’s being threatened.”

That’s what I appreciate about the US system and the words of its founders - it’s basically set up assuming whoever gets power will eventually abuse it. It’s just human nature - we’re great at convincing ourselves we’re in the right.

You think China or the Taliban think they’re bad people? Of course not, everything they do is for the greater good.

So it’s not surprising when a group of journalists, when given the choice (for any number of reasons) chose the status quo and their position of power in it, versus their journalistic idealism.
To my knowledge there’s no way to look it up?
If you guess someone’s bank details and steal their money, in many jurisdictions the account owner would have some recourse against the bank and is likely to be made whole (not an easy or enjoyable process I’ll admit) - so I guess that’s one key difference.
Not that I support preying on these muppets at all, but it’s rather ironic given the complete inability to distinguish the properties of ionising vs non-ionising radiation is the basis of most anti-5G ideology.
Beyond that, every kid has his/her own nature and character by birth. All Siblings are different despite having same parents, same upbringing, same environment at home.

Ignoring changing circumstances of a family, is the environment the same?

Suppose you like sports, and get your kid a ball, but your kid likes books more, are you going to persist with the ball or get a book to read together?

If your next kid likes the ball are you going to buy more books or try more sports?

Overly simplistic but a kid is probably affecting their environment.

The sad state of EU IT is also due to the fact that US companies are much, much better at marketing their solutions.

Often even the european media landscape is only mentioning US services in reviews and comparison. The fact that it needs a page like this says a lot about how bad marketing of these european companies even in their home market is.

I might be wrong but in EU any app that is going to give you advice about health improvement etc is considered a medical device and regulated accordingly. As long it just tracks and shows you data, it's not a medical device.

Hashing hardware capability is typically measured in trillions per second (TH/s) so the math might be better using trillion instead of billion. As I understand it, the rental cost of 1 PH/s (which I think is one-thousand-trillion?) is about $10/hour. From that I think you could work out an actual cost to generate a collision!

"Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok" is a much older ideal, IIRC it has roots as far as in early 90s. And if you stretch it enough you can even trace it back to Charles de Gaulle. But for it to happen not only Russia has to significantly improve internally, but also EU itself has to be different. For starters it would have to be truly independent from the US influence and Brussel's grip on the union would have to be weaker. Russian political culture historically is very firm on being able to independently decide its own fate (and no, it's not a matter of "democratization"). Take the current EU issues with the Poles and multiply it a hundredfold to get a rough approximation of what the current EU would have with Russia.

Before 2007 (see the Munich speech) Russia sincerely tried to join the EU and the collective West. But the condition "proposed" at the time and attitude towards Russia fundamentally collided with that deep culture, resulting in the situation which we see today.

> But there is no such thing as a killer feature that can't be done better with what we have

When someone figures out how to custody financial assets on the blockchain (e.g. stocks, bonds, etc), then you can create exchanges that aren't regulated and are open 24-7. You can also create contracts that mimic synthetic derivatives.

Sure you may not like the idea but you don't have to use those exchanges. And sure things could blow up for some people, but if done correctly you wouldn't have counterparty risk and no cascading series of failures. And there would be much less appetite for bailouts if things do explode due to the murky legality and pseudonymity.

The legal and regulatory framework prevents financial innovation. Could it be done better offchain? Sure, just completely rewrite the laws
Yes you would. I don’t have the energy to dig that data up or even know if it’s available, but suffice to say that Singapore would quarantine and test entire housing blocks, I’m going to guess Singapore had much more extensive testing.

Singapore had effective contact tracing and at least in the beginning would do mass testing to trace each and every case.

That wasn’t the case in BC.

I feel like trying to make a scale and throwing numbers around would be problematic, because it would detract from the overall argument that all systems have significant problems.

If you're interested in that doing that, i'm sure that there are places online that try to document the various injustices (here's a US centric one https://www.reddit.com/r/Keep_Track/top/?t=all though probably also biased due to the political polarization) as well as historical writings about the exposed problems in the communist countries of the old days. If anyone has any good ones, feel free to link them, because aside from the actual argument, i'm also curious.

Personally, in regards to the modern day world, i'd say that stealing 400 billion from taxpayers is pretty bad, which is one colorful example in recent memory: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-book-of-broken-promis_b_5...

Of course, in my day to day life, it really doesn't matter whether that's 40 or 400 billion, because i will hardly ever even make a million myself (living in the EU, at my current salary it would take me 49 years of work, aside from inflation, salary increases etc.). Not to say that it's not important to talk about these things, just that the scales at play are so mindbogglingly huge that they are hard to even reason about.

My requirements towards one solution is almost the same as yours. I've tried for a (relative) long time with jellyfin since I don't like the half-assed selfhosted/commercial approach from plex.
I think jellyfin works great for:

* multi-user with setting limits and access
* multiple devices
* chromecasting everything
* native apps (the one for firetv works perfect)
* meta data scrapping
* automatic subtitle downloading and managing
* creating playlists and collections

I tried using jellyfin also for:
* music
* audiobooks
* ebooks
but without any satisfactory success. I now use calibre-online for ebooks and am yet to find something good for audiobooks/music.

I don't think you will ever find a PERFECT selfhosted completely opensource tool for everything and by now i think that's fine.
Curiously missing from the abstract is their definition of "idle games". In the paper they define it as a games that "require players to leave the game and return to it at a later, unspeciﬁed point, where the game progresses on its own during that time and opens up different options for further play upon return."
Are there any implications for using native tor (non-exit) services?

Btw, here in Serbia (what you'd probably call Eastern Europe :), accordions are pretty rare (I guess they all went to Netherlands :)) other than in gypsy bands (but they rarely play in the streets other than when following weddings around), but violins (usually students), keyboards and guitars (number one, duh) are most common, but you get to hear a trumpet or a flute too. We are just classy like that (or there might be a musical school or two nearby in the part of Belgrade I see them in ;).

It's 28317 cubic metres or 500 residential swimming pools, 4 by 7 by 2 metres. By contrast 250000 cubic metres of concrete went into OL3[1]. This is also low level waste such as Fukushima rubble. For reference the UK has LLW in storage amounting to 14700 cubic metres or 17800 tonnes by mass, with an activity of 11 terabecquerels.

These are the estimates for decomissioning of all the Olkiluoto reactors[2]:

"The amount of decommissioning waste is around 32 000 m3, generated from Olkiluoto 1 and 2 mainly during 2068-2076. The amount of Olkiluoto 3 decommissioning waste is estimated to be around 11000 m3 before packing and generated during 2079-2085. Additionally there will be approximately 2000 m3 of waste from the spent fuel interim storage decommissioning to be generated around 2100."

CICD verifies but pre commit applies.

Therefore, regardless of whether you use pre commit, your cicd should be verifying that the software, including source code is satisfying the specification.

As a collorary, pre commit doesn't need to validate. Eg tell you where exactly the errors are.

These are subtle but important distinctions as it nullifies your double accounting concern. The only doubling that exist is that the pre commit and cicd are both made aware of the specification. Maybe that is your concern.

I mean, I found 10 used wallets not within 1000 pages of the first nor last page of his website in roughly 5 minutes.

I’m fully aware behind the math of finding a wallet actually holding anything… but I was fairly weirded out to come across 10 wallets that quickly. Most had their last txn out roughly 2019.
Agree with most of that, but I'm not even thinking about those in fragile circumstances at this point (although that is clearly an issue).

Look more carefully, the estimation according to Wikipedia is 10^80, which is roughly 2^266.

(BTW, when converting 10^x to 2^x, times 3 is what I use for very rough back of the envelope estimations. Times 10/3 is actually almost precise, as log2(10) = 3.32…)
>If you want money from advertisers with the least effort, don't you have an incentive to identify the people most likely to buy before you advertise to them? And thus do the least possible amount of converting people to products they weren't going to buy?

Yes, but this is what they do, that's why I said "any decent marketer knows this". Facebook, Google, have different "buckets" of audiences based on their behaviors, and they identify those who are more prone to click, to engage, to buy. And we, as advertisers, can choose who we want to reach.

But what I got from the article is that advertisers are just throwing money away because those consumers would buy anyway.

>It seems to me that you're hypothesizing, say, Google, doing more effort than necessary for no reason.

I didn't understand what you're saying here. If by effort you mean new features, then well... someone has to sell this upstream to justify marketing budgets. Shiny new things help convincing people.

>The way I read your comment is that we should believe what's inside a black box is a valuable product because it hasn't been proved not to be. I'd argue the label on the box is zero evidence of anything, and the incentives not to look inside are evidence that nobody is putting good stuff in it.

You have no other way but to believe it when you commit your budget, and the results show. If you close the faucet, sales tank. So for sure everyone knows it works.

But of course we're talking about humans, and we're not conditioned machines that just react to external queues... so it's not just show up and they'll give you money.
If you go by the whole “code is law” approach talked about by some crypto people, then I guess it wouldn’t be theft?

The blockchain has no concept of people/entities owning things, in that universe the ownership of an address is simply having its private key.

(Of course in the real meat-world we have courts, non-code-contracts, and rule of law. It would probably be criminal, in the same way finding a weakness in e.g PayPal and transferring peoples money is criminal)

The conclusion presented lacks nuance. But other than that I see no issue with that debunking. Even drawing that conclusion is understandable at the time it was initially published. But I agree, the conclusion was too categoric for the nuance presented in the rest of the article. They even mention that a leak is a possibility being investigated. Now, since that possibility has more standing, they even retracted the article. They did not delete it, they uptated it with a notice at the very top and it is there for everyone to read.

You are misrepresenting that article.

That’s fair, I think most agree that some threshold for punishment is a good idea. Deciding where and when that is if it’s not 1:1 gets politically and ideologically messy.

or more briefly: never
Maybe my needs are overly simplistic but most any of them will work just fine.

There is no real "magic" here. They apply a secret key (unique to your account) and the current time to a standard hashing algorithm and the results are pretty binary --- they either work or they don't. Those that don't --- well, you've probably never heard of them for obvious reasons.

So dive right in knowing you can move to a new app or a different device at any time by simply copying the key and applying the same standardized algorithm. UI, account setup and other things are mostly just window dressing.

EDIT - I haven't seem it personally but based on comments here, apparently there are some apps that try to hold your keys hostage. I would avoid any such app like the plaque.
