You can't. YC is a VC with a different coat.

Unfortunately when time and money is limited there will always be fat cats and starving dogs. There will always be worthy startups left behind and unworthy startups getting money.

The successful ones are only successful because of the immense money they get.
Good point, while the right is more outspoken about mandates the left does occasionally get banned for it.

But to say her view is toxic, would be picking sides. Her posting CDC links is pretty far from toxic.

That seems pretty much targeted for her politics.

Did it, though? We see deaths increase in August/September during the Delta wave, but we don’t see them decline when Covid cases fell drastically earlier in the summer: https://imgur.com/a/b4Pobrh

That suggests 25-44 year olds may be experiencing an elevated death rate that persists even when Covid cases were low.

Hey, thanks for your response. It’s heartening to see someone who cares for the well-being of strangers.

Not to be even more of a downer, but… I feel like I’m running out of options. I’ve tried Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor, and Remeron, prescribed by 3 different doctors. I’ve seen 6 different therapists. I’m extremely
privileged to say that I’m currently seeing a Stanford PhD out-of-network weekly.

I’ve heavily experimented with psychedelics, and while they’ve given me a much greater appreciation for arts and humanities as well as a curiosity about this universe, they haven’t made me want to be alive. I’ve experimented with ketamine recreationally, too.

I don’t know what to do. Nothing helps. I’m thinking of trying TMS, but I’m really skeptical of that.

Part of me wonders if I have what your sibling commenter describes as “congruent depression” — depression which is expected given the circumstances of one’s life. There is one aspect of my life which is lacking: social connection. I feel lonely, but it’s hard to tell if this is the cause of my depression. Even if it is, I don’t know how to fix it. I don’t really like talking to people — I’m very introverted and also talking to people makes me very anxious. It’s even more difficult because of Covid.

Your comment really hits close to home. I’m not living. There is no joy. And I can see, very slowly, the damage which is being done.

Thanks again for your response.
Betting on Moore's law to speed up your software hasn't held for more than a decade. Software keeps getting worse and hardware has largely plateau'd in what you can expect to get in single threaded performance. And besides, running a CPU for 2-5x as long to accomplish the same task is wasteful in both time and energy, both of which are scarce resources. Especially for something that is done as many times as rebuilding the Linux kernel.
In the text it is mentioned that the chemical requires significant effort to crack or activate for the desired (or undesired) effect. Of which I assume is difficult to carry out under combat conditions.

Similar compounds have been used as chemical weapons before but eventually give way to more modern agents.

What kind of hash table is O(1)? Or did I forgot everything from university already?

You cannot have a general O(1) hash

Well maybe in best case/average case, when you design the hash space big enough. Ugh I really did forgot everything.

I can't vouch for whatever the state of True Car is right now, but several years ago (more than once) I went there for information on the average selling price of new cars.

They had a nice histogram, showing the range and most common price and how far off msrp it was.

I don't know how accurate it really was, and if it was accurate, someone might have "gotten to them" in later years to inflate the statistics and preserve profit margins.

But it seemed to me really valuable information for negotiating a new car purchase. The special True Car price and "services" and all that seemed like a diversion to me.

It's like some other things on the Internet - a sensible person subsists on the free "teaser" information and never ever engages in any sort of relationship.

Apart from an indication of what a fair price is, the histogram showed relative discounts between models, and there's frequently/always ones that are being disdained by the public that are very good cars and dealers are desperate to move, versus ones that are in high demand that they won't discount.
As an interviewer, this is so incredibly frustrating - we don't change our questions often and because of that the questions and answers are all over these forums. With that said, it is incredibly easy to spot someone cheating - they often write the most perfect optimal solution from start to finish, helper functions first, often with the same function names as the forums themselves. The trick I've learned is to ask "why" - "why did you decide to use a linked list for this problem?" - the real cheaters often freeze up and can't give an explanation at all. It's rare, but still too common.

If you've seen the question/answer before just say so! I will totally appreciate the honesty and it goes a long way.

I'm sure it could handle you viewing each commit one at a time just how with email you would look at each commit one at a time.
The only reason I mentioned that spawning threads/creating an async future is blocking is because you had mentioned that async would generate blocking assembly by my definition.

And I agree, it would and therefore the definition is potentially meaningless. But pedantically it is blocking (but the functions called within it aren't to the current thread).

In a colloquial every day sense, I'd not be this pedantic. but this is a thread specifically about that pedantry.

End of the day, if I were talking colloquially, I'd only talk about expensive blocking calls as being blocking, regardless of IO when responsiveness is important. Otherwise it doesn't matter unless it's parallelizable and there are performance gains to be had.
I don’t disagree with your comment, but it’s somewhat unusual and extraordinary how Betty White became this cultural icon (in the USA) in her later years- enough of one that I’m not surprised to see this head line here.
If anything things like refactor suggestions and the like can make bad coders better by telling them things to fix before they even save their changes. It’s like a “code review in a can”. I try to encourage the people I work with to use these tools because it means less time is wasted on nitpicking over things like style and common mistakes during code reviews and everything can go more smoothly.
That would be NaOC(CO2H)(CH2CO2H)2, though, not NaCHO. NaCHO2 is sodium formate. NaCHO would involve deprotonating formaldehyde to get a CHO- ion you could make a sodium salt of. This might be possible, but definitely not in water.
The trick with O and hash tables is to remember that they're amortized O(1). Imagine a bag with the cost of resizing sitting inside it. Then, spread the cost across all inserts. There are always more inserts than the cost of resizing, so you end up w/ amortized O(1).
I think the pint is that it’s clearly a fake listing as no one could safely handle 1kg of the stuff.

Well said. The headline is bonkers…
I don't think we can buy our way out of global warming. What we need to do is reduce our use of carbon based fuels which means all of us need to look for ways to reduce our energy consumption. A few ideas, drive less(travel less in general), use less AC/heater, find ways to re-use what we have rather than buy new, waste less food and on and on... It all starts with us. If enough people reduce their energy consumption and push for economic and political change then there's a chance to change global warming.

Donating money and hoping someone else will fix the problem will not change things.
It just seems like a waste of resources to send all these emails to people who are not going to read them.
Over a decade ago I tried using webdav when it first came out on apache, felt like "the right way to do things". It was a disaster of partial and incompatible implementations and we wound up using an in house file tree under CVS/RCS and an rsync push.

Windows PC network mount file browsers/managers which supported revision control were better implemented so it was easier to let people do HTML in whatever tool they wanted on Windows and then push changes to "inside" and sync to "outside" -I wrote a web service which replaced Apache index with a script to push atoms and subdirs on demand, and do roll-back/republish. The inside server ran this cgi and the outside was clean.

Replaced by a real CMS a couple of years later which was more polished, but also awkward.

>As do in-depth technical discussions about ... just about any subject the candidate claims to know about.

Having attempted to do this after reading all the HN screeds, I found that this failed horribly. You'll find a large number of people who seemingly know the theory, but can't execute worth a damn. They can happily talk on and on about normalization, regularization, imbalanced datasets and so on. Then they fail fizzbuzz.

I then put the programming screen first.
While I get your point, I took the article to be more in the vein of saying that the downturn hit everyone, so your previous year's income was a horrible metric for determining who should get stimulus. There are plenty of industries where there are boom and bust years. Paying for stimulus checks with debt, and then telling people, who may have also fallen on unexpected hard times due to covid, that they made too much (and also contributed more in taxes) the previous year to get help... I mean the author does have a case.
For me there's no point in vacations if I have to go back to work after. All I can think about is the work I have to do when I get back.

Not sure I understand your concern. Are you asking about worst case? All hash tables I believe are O(n) worst case because of the possibility of collisions (or the need to resize in the case of an insert). Most people talk about amortized performance though (ie when you are successful at reducing the likelihood of worst case to a rare event). Amortized time is obviously dangerous if you’re in a real-time system (eg games) where it’ll manifest as stuttering or latency spikes or potentially even worse if you’re having to respond to hardware events in a timely manner for proper operation.
> Isn't this also a problem if the person managing the email list goes rogue? You have to trust someone to host the infrastructure.

It depends on what kind of threat you are worried about. The beautiful thing is even if LKML was abused and ruined tomorrow, nothing is lost or damaged. The emails have already been sent, and moving to a new list is more of a nuisance at this point.

If you're worried about authenticating a patch series, committers can sign their commits a number of ways.

Lastly, a large chunk of Linux development happens off-list, with subsystem maintainers building branches for Linus or Greg to pull from.
Google translate is sufficient. They’ll do it pretty carefully, complete with “pretend you get stuck at this specific point and if you get asked why to use a hashmap, act baffled for a moment, and then say X”
I don't use BCC or really understand why anyone would; I use clang, and just produce .o's.

The verifier is definitely annoying, especially at first, but I found myself sort of quickly working out the verifier's expected idiom, and a lot of it can be wrapped with macros.

All of this drama pales in comparison to writing freestyle C code in the Linux kernel without causing random panics.
Sure. Why not? If you can write a resume and interview for a full-time job then why not do the same for something short-term that ends/finishes with less risk for both parties…

This sort of implies that the Kernel would use something centralized if it worked well, which I don't believe to be true. Using email is very much an intentional choice and a desirable solution.
I’ll need to rerun my graphs. I haven’t done them since mid summer but at the time if you overlaid the Covid rise and fall on the excess deaths rise and fall it was uncanny how well they matched. The falling side of delta may have been different.
What a simplistic view. I see this sentiment so often in hn and Reddit threats. If something is going wrong, yes the nuclear option might be the one needed at some point. But burning all your bridges (including your S/O) and running, isn't a great first idea.

Strangely enough, MTG is actually a proponent of cancel culture. See: her calls to fire/blacklist athletes that knelt during the national anthems.
I find it hard to see how any developer would describe it as "massively boring". At a basic level, every time a coder solves a problem, there's a dopamine hit. The greater the familiarity with the material, the easier it is to solve problems. Anyone that spends a sufficient amount of time in a niche will develop that familiarity.
TLDR; they don’t care about MP3s as a format or the effects of compression - to the extent they’ve conflated all formats, including lossless ones.

They’re complaining about the fact that files aren’t physical objects, and they end with a claim that music as a file has no value, presumably vs physical media.

Honestly just comes across to me as a new version of vinyl vs cd vs compressed formats nonsense.
Why was there doubt surrounding an entire chromosome trisomy? My understanding was that it is easy to have high confidence about that since allele frequencies in the sequence reads are skewed across the entire chromosome.
I appreciate the attempt at humor. Try to make a less polarizing joke next time.
LISPs power is it's problem. Why would I want a powerful language?

I want a language that has one and only one obvious way to do things. That doesn't require building my own language features or choosing an addon that might or might not be compatible with others.

I don't have any use for the flexibility to customize a language because I want a language that doesn't need to be customized.

If I was doing cutting edge AI i might feel differently, but I'm not. The stuff I do has only one place for creativity and that's the UI. The code should be boring and utterly forgettable. If someone remembers your code, it's probably because they had to spend time looking at it when they could have been writing unit tests or moving on to new features.

Just want to say that dogs are not a magical panacea. I've seen them make life worse for depressed people (many dogs have behavioral problems that a depressed person is not equipped to deal with). If you're on the fence about taking on the responsibility of pet ownership, I'd lean towards the side of not getting one.

Some of the problems I've seen with people who've adopted dogs:

1) One dog got scared by a loud firework and now runs home from walks at any sudden sound, and won't even go out at all in many conditions, leading to great stress.

2) One dog has separation anxiety and shits everywhere if left alone too long.

3) One dog owner is depressed and doesn't walk her little dog, instead relying on wee wee pads, but the dog ignores them so the apartment is disgusting.

4) One has to wear a muzzle and chain harness on every walk and only the husband can walk him, since he goes berserk if he sees other dogs.

Etc. And all except number 3 above are people who are good with dogs, did everything you're supposed to do, consulted with trainers, etc. Look at the Biden's dog, Hunter - all the money in the world for training, a patient family and they couldn't fix his issues.

And then there's people out there who blame the owner/blame the victim when a dog makes the owner's life worse. "You must be just doing something wrong."

So again, if you're depressed, you might get lucky with a dog, but don't blame yourself if you have to rehome it.
> but if they didn't pocket it, many more would walk away.

You do realize that this would that customers do _not_ view it as a sunk cost right? Hence my original confusion. Also your statement here pretty directly contradicts what you wrote earlier:

> Very few people are going to walk away from that new truck that they were so enthusiastic about put down $5k to reserve it.

edit: Okay the more I think about it I can see sort how you're calling this a sunk cost. You mean it's a sunk cost in the sense that the dealer isn't letting them take the 5k back and that will keep some people in the game. That's not really my understanding of a normal sunk cost though. In this case the 5k comes out of the purchase price of the car meaning that someone who has put 5k down will actually pay (marginally) 5k less than who has not. So there is actual economic value in considering the 5k down payment in future decisions as opposed to sunk costs that are entirely lost.

In any case, I find it kind of insane to burn these customers like this when you have such a hot market. Instead just let people out if they want and increase the prices a little more if you want those 5k in your pocket. Killing your reputation for money you can get otherwise seems a bit silly when you realize that the market will someday turn around.

I felt the same when I failed a leetcode interview. The reason behind my annoyance was that I had spent considerable amount of time over the past few years improving my skills in the areas I thought mattered (practicing TDD, design patterns,learning FP etc.,) I felt disappointed when none of these mattered compared to an artificial set of challenges setup in an unreal environment.

I can't say for sure that such challenges (array manipulation, backtracking etc.,) are not typical for a software job but I know that they aren't relevant for my line of work. Even if they are, the challenge of solving problems in a live coding session is not the same for all. Different people need different settings to perform or excel.

But now I am committing myself to leetcode and getting better at it, but it has become one among hundred other things I want to get good at. At some point of time, I will feel the burnout. But I sincerely hope the acquired skills are useful in my professional setting.
