I guess a lot of office environments kinda suck (noisy, lots of Slack and Jira and Zoom even though you are sitting right there, distractions, lukewarm small talk, etc), so if you are remote you can set up a good environment that is better.

But the best offices/teams are awesome, and you can’t replicate that remotely. I worked on a team like this once, you get that platoon-in-a-foxhole, us-vs-world vibe, people are pushing hard to make the team and mission succeed, there are always interesting debates going on, the team is going out together as a crew after work, or on trips etc.

It’s awesome but it doesn’t last forever, and it’s hard to find. But I think on a team like that you accomplish 10x, and you also grow as a person and become much smarter.
I find manually laying out graphs and digraphs tedious.

It seems like a problem that should be amenable to machine learning approaches. Basically, training a machine as to what is an aesthetically pleasing layout and what is not.

Are there layout engines that use machine learning for layout, as against being implemented in terms of specific tree or graph layout algorithms?
This was discussed in the specs of the latest version (v3), and actually Apple and other GSMA members stood in the way of this. AT&T and Verizon wanted to include lock as part of the specs but it didn't pass and they were accused of collusion: https://www.macrumors.com/2018/04/20/apple-verizon-att-switc...
So in summary, it's the opposite of a carrier lock.
yup the original d20's were labeled 1-10 twice, and you used a crayon to colour the on set differently. If it landed on your "blue" 10 it was a 20, if it landed on the uncoloured 10 it was 10 for example.
As an engineering leader who has done a reasonable amount of hiring in the heart of silicon valley, every single negotiation tactic provided by a candidate who received an offer (when we hired for on premises) was along the lines of "I need more / should be given more salary because of Cost of Living".

Some might say there's a power dynamic, and it's just an excuse used by a candidate to negotiate higher - but at the end of the day that is what I heard every single time, without fail, when someone wanted to negotiate their salary.

If that's the case, then it does definitely indicate to me that "where you live" is a variable, and an especially important variable.

Ask HN: What domain registrars take security seriously?
I (like many others) use email that's hosted on a domain I own. Are there domain registrars out there that take security seriously enough to, for example, be immune from someone faxing a fake ID to support to get access [0]?

I would be happy to hear of email providers, etc, that also take things as seriously. I can't imagine what hell it would be if someone got access to my email...

Yeah it's plainly ridiculous to advocate maintaining the information asymmetry. Aren't we supposed to be believe in efficiency and more information is better around here?

To be exact in this scenario, the 'price' of BTC will still be the price of the last trade in cryto exchanges. The trading volume however, will be 0, and there will no demand on the bid/ask. Hence you're stuck with BTC you can't offload.
Obscure piece of hardware! Why would anyone who needs up to 16 drives in a single system not use SCSI? IDE was never designed for more than two drives per bus connector (eg a 3.5” hard drive and a 5.25” zip / cd rom drive).

i liked the water shedding idea because it is new to me. But otherwise, the blog makes me ask the question, so if engineers get trained early to focus on executing solutions who is training? Are you just blaming them on the degrees? But don't we know lots of graduates are not job-ready? The point here being there are systemic problems here. Just like there is with so many other issues and that's getting ignored.
Finally an honest answer.

We considered using SGML, but decided not to, because we wanted to focus on ease of use and writability and maintainability for hypermedia authors.

Yes, it had macros and conditionals. I wrote the initial markup language interpreter in FORTH, so I could drop into Forth and do all kinds of crazy things, and it could even compile storyboards into FORTH words (one word per each storyboard) that it compiled and dumped out to a binary image, so it could start up and display pre-formatted compiled pages quickly (kind of like partial evaluation, and Smalltalk VM images).

That was probably a premature optimization (or maybe not, since a 4 meg Sun 3/50 was pretty slow), but that was just the kind of stuff FORTH is great for, and it was fun to write FORTH code that wrote FORTH code that called C code that wrote PostScript code that wrote PostScript code! ;)

I used Mitch Bradley's awesome 68k Sun FORTH system, which could dynamically link and call back and forth to C code (by running the Unix linker to dynamically relocate a library to run inside a chunk of FORTH's memory -- SunOS didn't have actual support dynamically linked shared libraries yet), and he later developed it into OpenFirmware:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29261810

Later we replaced FORTH with a custom HyperTIES Markup Language interpreter that was written in C, and supported macros and conditionals and shared definitions, kind of like style sheets (but using the same markup language, not one language for markup and another for style).

The coolest part was that you could script and configure reusable embedded NeWS "applets" in PostScript, like custom pie menus for font selection and other commands, text editors, user interface widgets, PostScript driven animations, interactive popup targets, buttons that sent commands to NeWS, Emacs, FORTH, the Unix shell, etc, not unlike Java applets or web components that web browsers eventually supported.

It was no coincidence that the same guy who wrote Java (James Gosling) also wrote those two other languages we used to implement HyperLook, long before he wrote Java: NeWS PostScript and UniPress Emacs MockLisp!
A realization of why email is critical infrastructure for the Internet
You're misinterpreting what eSIMs are if you think they provide a new way to connect to the network, they don't. They are simply a new sim form factor, so step two in your analysis is unrealistic as the mobile equipment is still owned by mobile operators. There's literally no difference with current sim other than the sim being embedded in the device and the users being allowed to install multiple profiles on it.
It can, but it requires building around heated seating in a building. You have an intake, a horizontal inlet pipe, a firebox, and then a 90° into a chimney inside of a dome, made of thick clay. You then use a horizontal outlet to the dome near the floor, with a rectangular cross section a ratio to the interior chimney size, ideally, and you build concrete or clay benches, bedframes, etc around your room, with these rectangular exhausts in the middle.

The fire gets going very hot, burns off all of the stuff that comes out of wood, on purpose, to turn into heat, which heats the masonry, which will stay warm for a very long time. The dome also radiates heat for a very long time. The final outlet, out of the house, expels tepid, wet, clean air; contains only CO2 as a byproduct, iirc.
I thought IDE was a nightmare, cheap and unreliable compared to SCSI. For instance, one has to fiddle around with jumper settings on each connected IDE device (master, slave!) whereas SCSI was a lot more intelligent and stable (and obviously a lot more expensive). I still have my old Adaptec 19160U somewhere, it’s a really beautiful piece of engineering.

No insider anything, but personally, I think posting salaries is a bad idea, so if I went to a company that posted salaries, I would know for sure I wasn't making a fair deal as it is a ploy to reduce my bargaining leverage as a candidate. It also allows for collusion to drive salaries down between companies, and on the other side, it exclusively enables leverage for people who don't negotiate, but in fact bully with histrionic public accusations of unfairness instead of making a case for what their skills are worth. If you reward that, you only get more of it.

I would recommend resisting every and all suggestions that companies should post salary levels for jobs, don't be fooled, it's just a trap.
Unix sockets only require as much permission as creating a file in a directory. If a program has write access to a directory, it can create a unix socket. File permission on the socket then dictate which users may connect to it.
What surprised me is how quickly it felt like the consensus went from "DRM is evil" to "Neat, Netflix!". Same thing with privacy and anonymity online.

I have to imagine it's because the internet quickly filled with people not primed to be interested in those concerns and so they became popular in spite of the previous concerns.

Exams for positions whose work can apply to the entire organization can be more difficult without significant negative effects. Positions that interface with people (don't scale) suffer more when testing and licensing is too onerous.

For example, physical therapy services would suffer if testing were too onerous for patient-interfacing therapists, but the physicians and researchers who set the direction of the PT program can be examined more thoroughly and this is essentially how medical practice is structured.

Similarly, actuaries, whose modeling and underwriting work applies across the entire financial org, can be tested more rigorously than the financial advisors and customer service reps who are busy with customers, custodians, etc.
Yeah I am convinced seniority is a kind of a scheme too. Sure, people get better, but there is also cost to switching jobs and that is probably even more pronounced and not priced in.

I think it is in large part way to underpay people earlier in life and overpay them later in order to incentive them differently. It also is a rough cudgel to match family vs single difference in needs.
This is the hard part about "value creation." Is something that makes someone happier--even if others see that same thing as pointless waste--value?

We don't all want the same things and people want things we don't want, but this also allows us to trade and have both parties come out ahead from their own perspectives.

So there's always a tension between whether people should even be allowed to want some things or they should be forbidden due to being bad or wasteful in some capacity.

But I do think there's a special kind of irony to be complaining about the BS of someone getting money for moving bits and pixels around in a blog post on the internet frequented by a bunch of people, many of whom move bits and pixels around for a living.
Yes, but the parent was writing about the Abbott Labs BinaxNOW test, specifically (which I have also used).

The directions indicate to verify that the blue control line is present prior to adding the swab, and that the test should not be used if the blue line is not present.

You can verify this for yourself by downloading the official instructions here: https://www.fda.gov/media/141570/download

Sure, but the parent specifically referenced the Abbott test. And the Abbott test instructions tell you to discard and not use the test if the blue line is not present.

The high-pressure hydrogen tanks needed for H2-fueled cars and trucks are difficult, in a place where using LH2 instead would be wholly impractical. LH2 tanks of a size appropriate for transport aircraft are trivial: thin-walled aluminum shrouded in insulation. LH2 for transport aircraft suffers none what would make it impractical for cars: it is always used immediately, and would be synthesized on demand right at the airport. Risk of exploding leaks is easily eliminated by positive ventilation; if it can't build up, it can't ignite; if it doesn't ignite, it can't explode.

In nacelles attached to the wing, alongside the engines, any extra safety concerns would be moot. Kerosene fuel is carried in wing tanks so that the wings shear off in a very bad landing and take the fuel away with them. A whole separate tank shears off much more easily than a wing.

Copyright holders will never be able to compete with piracy. It's impossible. Imagine what it'd take for them to actually offer a service that can even begin to compare with what copyright infringement makes possible. They'd have to pool all their intellectual property into a single holding and offer access to all of it at once.

Piracy offers us all the works of humanity, everything ever created. These copyright holders can barely manage to display episodes in the correct order in their little streaming service user interfaces.
If personal austerity were to catch-on, Brawndo would automatically fire everyone. Consumption drives food on the table.

How the climate emergency will be fixed: bio CCS at-scale using oceanic organisms to do the hard work of carbon fixation for us. GMO and automated floating "farms" as necessary.

I mean the labor market has virtually always been pretty fucked. The market doesn't clear, and all the minimum wage empirical studies invaliding econ 101 demonstrate its flaws.

(To be clear, that is saying it would be better if raising the minimum wage did increase unemployment, because that would likely indicate the labor market wasn't completely fucked in employees favor to begin with. We simply wouldn't have a minimum wage in that case because there would be enough organic worker power.)

Still, I rather have the transparency. Wide bands for all jobs makes it plainly obvious who holds the power, and that is still useful. Do not want my coworkers to be blissfully ignorant.)
> This seems to be based on the "making all parties whole" interpretation of insurance, rather than "protect the policyholder". Are you ignoring my prior comment entirely?

No, you’re ignoring the three comments I’ve made now that clearly indicated I was talking about “the structuring of the insurance system” (rather than the OP’s liability policy), and continuing to argue against something you should be aware I’m not endorsing.

And yes, making victims whole is the purpose of mandating liability coverage for drivers.

Can I ask what you think your comment is adding to the discussion that it didn’t have before?

> If you need new features and new values update your flags rather than breaking any program that depends on your CLI API

The thing is, 2038 is less and less far away with each day that goes by. Especially since real programs often have to use future timevalues (and often further in the future than one would think).

Stuff has to change at some point. A glibc major version which changes the structures and typedefs for all 32 bit code could handle it.

But as it stands now, someone who wants to make a 32 bit program y2038-compliant will have a hard time doing it: they can't safely hand time values to any library that is possibly compiled differently.

This punts it to whom, distro maintainers? They have to try and rebuild everything with the correct define? And the lone end-user who does gcc -o myfile myfile.c gets code that's broken against the system libraries? Or they patch glibc itself and ship a glibc that's ABI incompatible with everyone else. Meh.
I’ll take it! Thanks for the links.
Carbon austerity is a political and human-nature non-starter. Kelp forests and phytoplankton blooms across expanses of the ocean are the only viable alternative to capture and sequester (by sinking) enormous quantities of carbon to get us to net carbon negative faster than anything else. This will require robots to help us seed and farm huge areas of the ocean.

For anyone interested in learning more about strategy, I highly recommend Richard Rumelt’s book “Good strategy, bad strategy”. This link provides a good summary of the book: https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/strategy-and-cor...

I often see the word “Strategy” thrown around, often referring to meaningless corporate speak or fluff. In fact, it’s a whole field of study, and I feel many engineers will love it if they gave it a chance.

In order to develop a strategy you must have a challenge or hard problem to solve. Then you define a cohesive set of actions or policies backed by an argument to solve the challenge. Strategy should define the “how” to solve the problem by clearly articulating the hard choices you have to make.

“Increase customer value”, or revenue or profits, those are not strategies. Being the best, or “leading”. Those are goals or wishes. Defining how to achieve that, given a whole set of constraints, that’s the heart of strategy. And engineers are generally great at solving those type of complex puzzles.

The solution is not one that may involve code or even engineering in general, but rather, a clear understanding of the problem, its constraints, and the argument for choosing some specific set of trade-offs.
your thought process makes sense looking at the problem through the eyes of someone used to mass production and cheap materials.

these were made during a time that the expertise to create plus the material itself was expensive, and these have been found in a wide area so not some incredibly niche item.

tools of questionable use would quickly fall from use and not spread beyond the first few creations, toys or trinkets would likely not be made of metal nor stored with other valuables like coins etc.

this doesn't mean it is of military or religious significance but I do think this is more than a toy. The fact that it seems to be geographically locked (thus culturally locked) leads me to think this is a cultural item or something that was more useful for that geography - there have been those who have linked it to a calendar. This makes sense given the geometry of the item (12 months [sides], 30days [edges]) and in the northern area's it would be of greater need to time crops - especially for feeding large armies from Rome.

The idea of expensive toys / fads can definitely have it's place in very small numbers and incredibly narrow regions, beyond that I think you have to look for more useful needs.
You can't engineer homelessness away.
Do you really want a shit-tier employee number #3 just so you can pay them pennies? I don't think so.

Smaller companies should have narrower bans because they lack the organization capacity to reap the cost savings of hiring cheaper lower-tear workers, and also the cash flow to pay exceptionally higher-tier ones. (I assume the VCs will not be pleased if you say "but they're a 10x engineer!".)
Okay, and why exactly existing as a concept is less important for this argument?

Additional question — what religions do you know that explicitly state the existence of god in materialistic sense and not as a non tangible ideal (hence the word idea by the way)?

Please try to answer deeply and not just critisize me for hating atheists, I am not, I just point out very simple but overlooked details that are crucial for such discussions.
Sure. And the ABI needs to break sometime before 2038. So, new major libc version, and...

I mean, waiting does mean there will be fewer 32 bit systems: so there's an argument to put off the transition to lower the scope of work.

However, most of the ones that stay around will be embedded and long-lived: just the worst kind of thing to bite us in the future.
