I agree BUT 3D is something real both for audio and video, we have two eyes and ears!

That said, going back to less powerful hardware is the right thing to do because we get longer lasting batteries:

https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/picosystem

Dual Arm Cortex M0+ running at up to 133Mhz with 264kB of SRAM, this is the equivalent to a modern C64 and it consumes 0.1W instead of 20W.

That said again, I'm targeting the Raspberry 4 for my upcoming 3D action MMO and that is 5W when maxxing the GPU and one CPU core.

It's a good way to keep your expectations in check as electricity prices rise indefinitely.

The only thing I'm 100% sure of is that people will soon not be able to afford to play on 200+W machines.
That’s unfortunate about your friend.

The chances of a 35 year old without serious pre-existing conditions dying at the beginning of the pandemic is about the same as being struck by lightning. Another family member getting sick and dying also seems unlikely (<10%). Wonder if there was a genetic component.

https://www.qcovid.org/

That said, it doesn’t change the risk profile. The stats are the stats, individual circumstances will happen. As the pandemic goes on the community immunity will improve, treatment options improve and virus should evolve to be weaker.
I've heard that so frequently I'm shocked they haven't done more about it. The data must be super obvious that people who break streaks stop for so long.
I think you don't get it. This isn't "write tests to make sure the vulnerability doesn't exist" this is "as you're testing, all of your code is automatically scanned for these vulnerabilities".

For a big project like a browser, I would imagine the tests would include property tests, fuzzing, etc.

This is obviously strictly less powerful than a proof assistant, which, yes, rust has, but we don't empirically know what the delta and the risk factor is between something like what zig gives you and something like what rust gives you... Moreover, I think it's likely that something like an proof assistant will be developed to track resources based off of zig's AIR. This is something that would be costly, but you could write it as a "linter" that blocks commits as a part of CI.
You basically have to pick between spending 5 years doing software “residency” and finishing the MD. Your drive in either will partially determine success. I agree with other commenters that you should find a way to do both, because realistically, I think you are facing a “grass is greener” situation and your drive may deflate when you realize that.

Also, at the end of the day, additional loans will impact your happiness over your career. Being poor is not fun.
- Disable Lastpass MFA and use Google Authenticator (Authy)

could you please explain this point? Isn't LastPass Authenticator equivalent to Google Authenticator, Authy or any other TOTP app? Or is there something that makes it less secure than other apps? Perhaps because it has cloud backups?
Unofficial server so you probably should avoid the web application (or build it yourself from official sources). In theory it could contain malicious code that leaks your password.
The problem is there is no “us” here. The other contestant does not know the strategy in advance.

This problem is a variation of the distributed consensus problem in computer science. The canonical solutions (Paxos, Raft, et al) are non-trivial and there are unsolved corner cases. In short - this is problem where they are looking at your approach to problem solving rather than the solution itself.

> But it’s probably better to think of an ERC20 (tokens) and ERC721 (NFTs) as self executing code on the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

Right, and Ubisoft is making NFTs right now, that will use that self-executing code to implement customer unfriendly restrictions on who can own and transfer the NFTs.

If your self-executing smart contract says "you lose the games when Ubisoft bans you or goes out of business", then you've gained nothing. "Ah", you say, "but what if Ubisoft decided to be nice and customer friendly?"

But this is Ubisoft. That's not going to happen. :)

Human connection counts for something, for some people more consciously than others.

When you know the name and fact of the person you are working with, you're much more likely to have it stand out in your thoughts as something material.

Sometimes that might feel a bit odd with our view of efficiency and rightly so by some measures ... but it's a bit cynical to wrap everything up in a 'sales tactic'.

If recruiters didn't show value I don't think they would be used so they're not just 'selling' something, they are ostensibly 'providing' something.

It's been a while since I've worked on that front, but I do remember job hunting as a lot of 'empty time' I wonder if it's worth contemplating those direct connections as being material to the mechanics of the system overall.

I bought a 2 bed (750 sq ft) plus a large south-facing balcony (with a nice view) in E1 on less than £100k.

Not to mention the salary ceiling is so huge in London it's easy to be saving more than someone else is earning in another city.
If we were talking about SWEs, I'd say short tenures are now considered a pro, not a con. Likewise, staying too long at a company (say, 5+ years), seems to be considered a big red flag now. Exceptions given if company is FAANGMULA or similar caliber.

For a managerial or leadership position? I can't say, to be honest, but what you say makes sense. Then again, I'd say long tenures as a SWE ought to be considered a positive too (or at least not a negative), but it isn't, so...

> Independent headhunters and recruiters are a valuable resource

I wish, I find that there seems to be an infinite amount of recruiters collecting names and resumes willing to waste infinite amounts of time… and then you discover they don’t know Java and JavaScript aren’t the same thing.
The flip side of that is, you could make an open source product under a license like MIT, then later quietly (A)GPL it and hope a company updates to the newer version without checking the license, because how many people check the license for every single commit they fetch?

I don't know what the solution is but I'm guessing courts would consider any evidence of intent when making judgments.
It's really stupid to force Thunderbolt usage though when USB-C has an alt mode for DP directly.
I wish Mac OS and Apple hardware supported 8k monitors. I have this monitor and love it, but I can't use it with a Macbook at higher than 4k.

one thing I agree is that to tackle climate change - rich countries must first start with themselves and reduce carbon emissions per capita.

I see climate activists bash developing countries with large population for carbon emissions, yet when you account for per capita carbon output - turns out that carbon/capita of rich countries far exceeds that of developing/poor countries

> Where did Paul say that? this feels like the opposite of what he would say.

While its slightly younger cutoff, it is very similar to what he said about startup founders (where the cutoff was 38), and it would fit with his other descriptions of age-based trends in work patterns to prefer a younger cutoff for engineers, especially if he was talking about a startup context.

Though I’ve seen it referenced without a source enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was apocryphal and distorting remembering of the preferred upper limit for startup founders that got transferred to engineers and a rounder number.

I am surprised at people who say its unlike him or the opposite of what he would say, though.
Programmers as a group may be hard to please. The programmer in question, though, is not so hard: Send them an email to schedule the meeting with the hiring manager. That's not hard.

And if you're a recruiter and you can't listen to a request like that, how are you going to listen to the rest of what the candidate says?
> there may be no better time in recent decades than now to go into programming in general for the hyper-dedicated souls among us

Why? Devil's advocate: laypeople seem sick of tech (even if they use it a lot), it doesn't really seem to be solving problems (just shifting the envelope), and interest rates are bound to go up soon, which will only hurt big tech. Why is now more attractive than, say, 5 years ago?

Yeah. Treatment options have definitely gotten better. IIRC, something like 80% of deaths can now be prevented thanks to a combination of Dexamethasone, Monoclonal Antibodies, and other such advancements. Monoclonal antibodies may have stopped working for Omicron, but the Pfizer pill looks like it still works.

A lot of it was probably timing, getting hit early before doctors really knew what the best treatment options were is the "lightning" event for sure.

The father was older, near 70 and with some pre-existing conditions. He was being careful about COVID19. But the chain was nurse -> 35-year-old -> pass to his father. Sometimes, even with all the precautions you take, its not really possible to avoid the disease.

Nonetheless, my sister works in the emergency room as a doctor. She's had to declare plenty of 30-some year olds dead. I know for a fact that my story is far from unique, plenty of other young folk have died from this disease.

You can talk to anyone who works in the emergency room: there's plenty. Firefighters / First Response teams, nurses, and doctors. Hear the stories directly from them.
AirGuard is riddled with reviews that say it doesn’t detect known devices.
My set of Netter's Anatomy flashcards from medical school a decade ago describe the functions of the deep fibers of masseter (the 2nd layer of the masseter muscle) as 'retracting' the mandible. Interestingly the cards also say -here I interpret as regarding the superficial layer of masseter - that "some of its fibers may protrude the mandible" (which makes sense if you look at the diagram).

What is lost in translation or reinterpretation in the quote you've posted is that retracting the mandible is either the function of the deep layer of masseter or instead the function of this newly discovered third 'coronoid' layer (or quite possibly, both); it is not as though anatomists thought 'how the jaw retracts' to be unanswered before today, but rather it seems they have been using an incorrect or perhaps incomplete picture.

Interestingly I can see the stark difference in depiction between Netter's diagram illustrating deep masseter [1] and this other one.[2]

I also note the description from Netters, which states that part of Masseter inserts on "the lateral surface of the coronoid process", describes pretty well the muscle being announced in this paper, as per their photographs.

How do I make sure they always stay in sync ? (adding removing elements)

Because the ever increasing number of CVE's where brilliant programmers who screw this up, says doing this manually is prone to error.

Sure you could do everything without generics. But its a lot more error prone.
Generics can in addition with other language construct provide better safety.

Generics also provide a tradeoff, that library code is more complicated, but its usage its easier to read.
Well, my point more so revolves around the currently uninvented and the unimaginable uses that developers have yet to deliver on that “profound” device after it arrives, becomes prevalent, the details are figured out etc.

That’s what made smartphones exciting for a couple years, right? Not only were we buying devices that were doing the things that we expected them to, but new uses and applications for them were being delivered regularly.

When we imagine the new paradigm we’re usually constrained by the current one.
There are also explicitly self-launch capable electric gliders such as the Jonker JS-3, with much greater battery capacity.

Yep, trying to find PPI based rules of thumb is silly.

How do the batteries wear out in non fixable ways? I always thought you could put in new cells and be back in business.
>> untold hours to reach the top of your profession... I just find that's truly not an unlikely situation to be in.

> Uhm, I would say that fully remote $300k+ jobs are still unlikely.

Well, yes, reaching the top of one's profession is unlikely. But those who fit the preconditions established by GP probably have no issues finding 300k remote.

(That said, I would never spend more than $300 on a monitor regardless of income... for me, there is literally no return because cheap monitors have gotten so darn good. The one possible exception would be an e-ink display that mimicked the coding/authoring experience of a standard display, but AFAIK that doesn't exist yet. That said, I'm not exactly paid for my aesthetic intuition ;-) )
Using George Hotz as an example is pretty disingenuous. He is clearly not your average young adult, even for the average of HN.
I don't understand the exception. Like less than 500 line chunks of GPL can stay? Or only chunks that are 500 or less must be removed in the time allowed?
> Perhaps it's a filter to make sure they don't move further with a candidate who is not serious?

That could be. If the candidate isn't willing to take the time for a phone call, can the recruiter be confident they willing to take the time for an interview?
Maybe you might find this interesting too.

OP (and Duolingo employee #34) here.

I can definitely relate to the frustration! It's been years since I've worked on the product side myself, but for what it's worth we do allow equipping up to 2 streak freezes now. I believe you can also restore a lost streak as an in-app purchase; I've never done so myself.
The DP altmode didn’t provide enough bandwidth, which is why the best experience is over the Thunderbolt alternate mode.

edit: you can in fact get HBR3 working, what's not working at full rate with DP instead of thunderbolt is the USB3 hub on the display.
That's double the PPI compared to 27" 1080p ;) Granted, the usual "non-retina" 27-inch resolution was 1440p, but it's still a monitor you could use 2x scaling on. Yeah 1.75x or even 1.5x would be kinda preferable if you want more screen space but I like the huge UI elements.
Thanks.

I wrote my doctor about it and he basically said “you’re in as good a position as you can be, we need to save the monoclonal antibodies that work on omnicron for someone who will definitely need them”.

I’m borderline high-risk based on BMI (how I got vaccinated early), but work out 5x a week and really don’t feel any major symptoms. If I was not vaccinated and boosted, immunocompromised, or had more significant symptoms I’d be a lot more concerned.

Coincidentally, I listened to Tim Ferris’ COVID discussion with Kevin Rose while driving Saturday[1]. I feel like I’m in a similar spot as he was, and his doctors were either saying do nothing and isolate, or do monoclonal antibodies and some other pill. He took the approach of the kitchen sink and seemingly a lot of his symptoms (night sweats) might have come from the treatment. We will never know the counterfactual had he not taken the treatment, but it’s interesting anec-data.

Every musician's hearing ends up becoming pretty affected by their practice. Pristine hearing is really not that important for musicians as far as I can tell.
It can be really fast, but usually it's included in things because it's the easiest language to include in things. In those use-cases and the ones you mentioned, the performance-intensive things are mostly handled elsewhere. You just use lua more for like configuration and automation of the other parts of the program.

I don't know about redis but in MMOs that use it I think it is mostly for UI customization, not part of the main engine that runs the game.
Yes, the issue is not that it's expensive, it's that it doesn't justify that cost (serious question, what's that stand made out of to cost $1000?) If you can get an equivalent (or better) monitor for the same price (or less), then it's not really about spending an extremely generous salary to have better tools, it's about spending it to have a substandard tool that happens to have an Apple name attached to it.

If it's actually the best in enough areas to make it worthwhile, then that's great, and maybe it is worth the cost to some people. Maybe something like the Dell 8k monitor is a better fit for more people in the market for one of these, at a cheaper cost ($4k with a stand), more pixels, and similar feature set (if lacking some named features). Maybe not. I probably don't know enough to accurately judge, but it sure looks like Apple's trying to fleece some people that want the brand name to me.
Cameras on phones just aren't designed for the narrow field of view that much of astrophotography uses. The thing to look up is "wide field astrophotography" - but even then, you get into issues.

I call bullshit on the $4000 scissors. The very very highest end goes to $1000 and most hairdressers use scissors around the $100 mark, which are still extremely good professional tools. Furthermore, if you have a very expensive pair of scissors, you are not going to be sharpening them twice a day... More like twice a year (and you take them to a professional, you don't do it yourself) .

For the first scenario send the message: If two primary colors end and state the color that results from mixing, <primary color>.

If the other participant sends a primary color in the first round you can end immediately. Given that your partner understands primary colors and mixing you will be done after one round.

The benefit of this solution is that no matter what your partner sends over to you they have the instructions needed to know what you will do on your side, which addresses the coordination challenge.

I think this solution works for some of the other scenarios as well, but I didn't read them all.
Problem with OLED is the 240hz PWM, which is present in the AERO as well.

For instance, on my iPhone 13 Pro, I can see the on-off-on-off clearly once I’m below 20% brightness. The eye strain of oled is terribly annoying.

I agree with you on the blooming, but there are no options today that scratch all itches.
These Apple displays were rumored to be microLED, and I was incredibly bummed to find out they’re just an iteration of regionally-backlit LCD’s. OLED is definitely the best option for contrast, and I’ve had no luck finding an OLED monitor that wouldn’t bankrupt me.

I bought a couple Dell U2720Q instead, and they’re great; until something more compelling is available.

Another take on Florida...

>While COVID-19’s omicron variant pushes Florida to pandemic daily records in cases reported and has drive-thru testing lines snaking through parks and pharmacy parking lots, hospitalizations haven’t risen at the same rate — yet. Sunday’s report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said there were 2,302 people hospitalized for COVID-19 in Florida. That’s 39 more people hospitalized than in Saturday’s report and from 245 hospitals, as opposed to the 246 hospitals in Saturday’s report. COVID-19 patients occupy 4.27% of patient beds in those reporting hospitals, compared to 4.18% in the previous day’s reporting hospitals. Of the people hospitalized in Florida, 333 were in intensive care unit beds, a decrease of nine. That represents about 5.41% of the state’s ICU hospital beds, compared to 5.55% the previous day.

My utterly unrealistic dream is: now that the first batch of 5k iMacs is approaching “old age,” some business would start selling kits than had the tools and instructions necessary to gut old iMacs, and a new controller board that would convert the remaining screens to basic DisplayPort displays.

At $300 and around $500 for an old iMac on eBay, this could be somehow both more economical and likely more reliable than the displays currently on the market (see my other message in this thread). Also it’s just going to be a pity when those beautiful old computers start hitting the landfills.
Sure, I'm lucky. I'm also of the opinion that we can work to give that to everybody rather than attempting to apply VR as opiate.
GPU is a bad example. Models purchased in 2016 cost slightly more than that now, secondhand, after 5 years of usage.
