No, below a certain resolution (depending on the wavelength) the waves just see the average shape (which is smooth has a derivative). Think about this in real live imperfections in the atomic structure of a mirror don't influence the reflected light rays, or the shape of waterwaves reflected of a concrete wall is not influenced by the roughness of that concrete.
Isn’t that just a hash?
20 years in the business, if someone asks me to do fizzbuzz or leetcode at an inteview, I'll just walk out and won't look back.

I've been doing this crap way too long to do brain teasers at an interview. I suck at them, I always have. Advent of Code makes my brain hurt.

That doesn't mean I can't design, implement and lead a team to create a service that can handle insane amounts of load with minimal cost.

Can't even think of a similarly stupid thing to ask for a different field. Are doctors quizzed on House[0] -style patient cases to see if they can tell the actual cause from the top of their head?

That's hardly a monopoly, there's hardly any absence of competition. Even if it was a monopoly it would't be illegal by default but it's not a monopoly anyway. It's more like %50 to %70 of the people in US/JP/UK have chosen to purchase the products of that company but they could have chosen any other brand that is available to them. In fact, people in countries of similar affluence have chosen the other way around with France %63, Netherlands %54, Germany %58, Spain %78 Android and there's nothing stopping the UK/US/JP do the exactly the same as the alternatives are available and competative.

It looks like Apple managed to design devices that Americans like more than the ones the other brands designed and there's nothing wrong about it.

Can Apple abuse it's position position in the market, even the smallest company can do that but the key is that if that happens people do have the option to do purchases from somewhere else.
Do you exclusively use the official Twitter API or do you also perform web scraping? How much did you spend last month for runnig this system?
If code reviews aren't an expected part of the development process and there's pressure on delivering, it won't happen.
Against the common sense, I started talking a little bit more when the 1-1 mentee is at a unknown unknown situation. I tell them they should look fwd to a,b and c if they are to look for a direction and I invite them to setup a further specific 1-1 to discuss this, if that catches their eye. If not, again will let them explore and then comeback with other options and so on.
>>Yeah, maybe you were in a bubble. Chinese are awesome, but they are human. Many a deeply racist, and have a number of other problems.

My interactions have been very positive, and being an Indian I have never experienced any racism from them. There is a language gap for sure, and due to that times, more than a round of clarification is needed to be on the same page, but that was nothing I couldn't work out.

I agree your interactions would have been different.

It is also possible that I interacted with subset of Chinese immigrants in the Bay Area, which generally happens to be a place for people who in general value diversity and happens to be a meritorious place.

>>You probably should re-evaluate your own objectives

I have, I don't believe in linear returns any more and my days of attempting to scale personal growth as a function of hours worked are behind me. You grow up with age and your perspectives change too.

At the same time I have mad respect for immigrants(as a former failed immigrant myself) and other communities that are working day and night for a good life. More power to them.
I suspect that whatever wealth they did have was carefully passed to the next generation and, further, that people who didn’t do that were less likely to have their DNA represented in the modern human pool.

The Cetacean Translation Initiative is doing a similar thing with whales. That one is scary to me.

I remember hearing that one researcher joked that the worst case scenario is that whales end up being really boring. That's not true. The worst case scenario is that we decode their language and realize that they're all constantly screaming in pain and terror.

As a person who moved abroad from a 3rd world country, I can relate. I sometimes think about how it would be like to move some of this 1st world people to the other side of the globe to show them how people are living their lives, without all those comfort. I wonder if their life would change afterwards.
I'm not sure if this is an interaction with the vapor recovery on the fuel pump nozzle, but topping up on some vehicles will introduce liquid fuel to the fuel vapor charcoal canister in the emissions system of the vehicle.

It's not able to readily purge the liquid fuel and can case emissions codes and replacement of the fuel vapor canister can be needed to remedy.
It's been a while since I've seen a paragraph that badly written (I mean, the quoted part)

It's a Press Release from a law firm but I'm not sure I would take a law firm that writes like this seriously.
Ah so many childhood memories. We had an Amiga 500 and then 3000 (40MB HD?), before my parents finally bought me a Mac IIx.

So many awesome applications and games. I remember spending hours with this music creator where you could put notes on the scale and then assign instruments (very fuzzy memory) and it would faithfully play it (I presume midi). There were existing songs you could load, or you could start from scratch.

Of course as ~8-10 year old this resulted in me just putting as many notes on the scale as possible and making it play really really fast.
Even if the lawsuit fails we may get to see internal emails

Don’t think this is true empirically. Unless “always” means “sometime in the 2010s” vs the entire data set.

One small anecdote to avoid citing :), a biography of a US congressman said that in the 1950s Democratic and Republican Senators would sometimes vacation together at each other’s summer homes or during the annual recess. Not sure that happens anymore.
Anyone doing significant amount of exercise (kids) would likely benefit from salt in their diet.
Actually, I wish all of the internet had the simplicity and no-bullshit approach to information consumption that HN offers. RSS, simple login, text based - it's ideal.
Well noted, thanks!
I agree - this post is really interesting as I've been following Black Magic for a while and doesn't bother me that much but perhaps it doesn't belong in the Show HN section as it's not showing anything new technically
And you can carry two empties in one hand.
Apple has 60% of the mobile market in the US[1], and more than double the revenue from their dominant stake in the mobile app distribution market than Google[2], both off which make up over 99% of that market.

Also, our layman definitions of monopoly do not matter when it comes to antitrust laws[3]:

> Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors. That is how that term is used here: a "monopolist" is a firm with significant and durable market power.

Indeed, it is the weight of having something interrupted or unfinished. Putting it in a clipboard manager feels like the task is no longer weighing on your working memory, and it completes the first part by reaching a checkpoint.
Sorry no one gives a shit about these. The majority of users hate visual effects. Those that add useless delay into the task they are doing, tasks that in some cases are already repetitive & tedios without the delay. Same for modern web design, just egoistical style over functions.

Windows won because of software written on it, OSX because of exceptional hardware that comes with the OS. Things like compliz are for nerds and inconsequential on the grand scheme of things
To all of you who stopped worrying thanks to a clipboard manager, how do you handle sensitive contents in your clipboard?

For example, I routinely copy-paste my passwords from KeePass, and I have disabled all clipboard management to avoid copies of my passwords lingering around.
> "Google pays Apple to be the default search provider"

If that is the case they might not act anti-competetive but, rumours are [0] Apple received up to $20Bn per year in this deal. It is hard to believe that this payment is just for being the default search engine. I strongly suspect that Apple also agrees to not build their own search engine as long as this deal is on - and if that is the case, there will be a strong foundation for an anti-competetive lawsuit.
They have a comparison here: https://paddle.com/compare/stripe/

Frustrating that I can't find a price.
I always code as specifically and practical as possible. Whenever I hear someone let's do this as general as possible - the junior dev bell rings.
As long as I can choose DDG and that will be the end of Apple Search on my iDevice, I don't see the problem.
#5 is the key point to my mind.

For example, you can’t just add new search engines to iOS Safari with just a URL.

There are a few alternatives to Google but there’s no easy way for a new entrant to get in there.

EDIT: Interesting. I’m picking up downvotes for this, is there some way to achieve this (other than jailbreaking) I’ve missed?
This is bog standard clean tech skepticism warmed up and ladled over a recent event for a newshook. And solar power doesn’t work when the suns not shining. Ok.
The other aspect is that private schools are self-selecting first and selective second. Your kid either needs to be well behaved or fiendishly rich (enough to offset their problems with benefits for everyone). This isn’t the case in public - as it takes everyone as they are.

The reasons I’ve considered private school for my future children after talking to friends/parents who have put theirs in private has less to do with the quality of education but more to do with the peers they’ll have. They’ll likely be around decently behaved peers and I’ll be able to shape the discussion of how the school is run - whereas that’s not the case at public schools at all.

Having come from such poor schools where we couldn’t even afford five days a week education and only went 3-4 days/week, I know my kids will get an exceptional education compared to what I got - but I want them to have a good social life too and maybe that’ll work at a public school but maybe it’ll work at a private instead.
Yes :)

On average, I send 3 requests/minute/user to Twitter API.
Yes, imagine if this blocklist becomes mainstream and used by major other adblockers or extensions? Then, there is no central place where one man's project can ask to remove my domain, and it will vanish. I often read on HN how much the web is centralized, and then we come across resources that kill independent blog/sites because of an error on the list maintainers part.
The difference between what is and what can be is the space from which all human achievement stems.
In my opinion Apple is already in the search business. At least Siri prevents a regular web search if Siri found the webpage I was looking for. It offers me directly the link to the page in the suggestions.
Thank you. Do ping me when your work is ready. I will share it on Twitter :)
GDP per capita in Kenya is 30-50x lower than USA. The provider and the facility are probably a large part of the total cost. Wages and land price are loosely correlated.

Doesn’t seem outlandish (without knowing your insurance covered) a 20x difference would occur.

Thank you for this comment, it's incredibly true.

Some elementary school teachers I know (in Europe) repeatedly remind me how important non-academic elements are in school.

* Kids go to school to get emotional care.

* Kids go to school to get attention, and someone to listen.

* Kids go to school to learn social behavior.

* Kids go to school to have a surrogate mommy to care for them while parents work.

* Kids go to school to learn (from teachers or peers) how to tie shoe laces, wipe your nose, go to the bathroom and so on.

In first and second grade, all of this makes up more than 50% of what kids actually learn, and this is what they are missing completely in home schooling.
What happens when the wealthy people decide that they don't like what you have planned for them and decide to set up somewhere else? Exit visas?

Wealthy people get to choose which jurisdiction they submit themselves to. That's just how the world is.
That saying is generally for people who wish to keep cake as a trophy, but cant wait to enjoy eating it too.

In this case the point being brutal working hours and affluence don't go hand in hand.
You don't need to disallow changing the default search engine because the average user doesn't even know or bother how to change it. That is the reason Google pays everyone (Apple, Mozilla, Android OEMs through GService allowance) a buttload of money to be the default.
I feel the same about the control panels. Windows 11 has like three or so? I can't keep up, thankfully they added a search function some time back and so, I only have to remember the keywords.
The “article” is a PR release written by the plaintiff’s firm for release. By all means, read the complaint and discuss the case. But keep that in mind as to the link.
If an image fails to load, there is an animation which is still quite distracting. Can that just be a static broken imagine icon?

While many run the Linux kernel, it isn't always the pure upstream version following the Linus vision.

Many devs targeting embedded and mobile devices are painfully aware of that reality.
On the alcohol thing, I'm inclined to agree. Even if you drink enough to be legally drunk, the milk should only be 0.08% alcohol, which is considerably less than say, orange juice. This of course does not at all apply to a pregnant woman.

On the cruciferous vegetable thing, I can say that it is a real phenomenon at least for some babies in certain circumstances. One of our babies was particularly prone to gas, and we had a few horrible nights. Finally, after the worst night of crying we'd ever had, it dawned on us that my wife had eaten a salad with raw brussels sprouts and also eaten cooked brussels sprouts that night. Once she cut out the brussels sprouts and went easy on the broccoli, the problem mostly went away.

Whatever the chemical in brussels sprouts that causes gas is, evidently it is active at pretty low concentrations at least for certain babies.

Your experience isn’t likely common. Most people I went to college with at university were under the age of 25. The overwhelming majority so. I graduated at 23 and was consistently the oldest or tied for oldest in many of my classes. Outside of community college or graduate programs - people age 26+ are very uncommon.
DDG+Apple user here, in the past days there were several threads on poor/SEO-spammed search results on Google and DDG. Unfortunately DDG is not really better in avoiding SEO spam than Google, so another competitor (even if its Apple) might be beneficial to everyone. Especially since google does not really have broad competition. Another poster correctly commented on why Google's results have become so bad: "Google is not making money by presenting you with the best result, it is making money by keeping you searching".
I agree, I tend to avoid products without pricing page out of principle, but in this case I think the tax liability will force me to go with paddle for a product I'm working on.
Playstation VR2: the next generation of VR gaming on PS5
would like to try it but I never close windows :/
Put so bluntly, it is self-refuting: if we cannot know the truth, we cannot know that statement to itself be true-if a statement is self-refuting, how can it be rational to believe it? The “except for” may save the statement from being self-refuting, but only at the cost of becoming an instance of special pleading, which is equally irrational.

Soon I guess.
At least on MacOS "sensitive" contents copied to clipboard by apps can be marked as such, and won't be persisted by my clipboard manager.
This leetcode (and similar) nonsense is really ruining our industry.

I've been delivering commercial products (that's the goal, no?) for over twenty years, regularly get high praise and top ranks in reviews, get promoted often including to "distinguished" and "chief" levels (always as a technical IC, not in management).

Yet.. no way I'd ever pass any of these leetcode style memorization interviews. I guess companies think that proves I can't develop? Funny. But sad. Our industry should not be like this.

Personally I feel lucky that this leetcode interview disease started after I was fairly senior already, so I'm getting hired based on track record and connections who love to hire me to deliver products. Hopefully, fingers crossed, that'll carry me to retirement.

But if I was in my 20s or early 30s, I'd be looking to leave tech entirely and go into something else where experience is actually appreciated and valued. None of my high school friends who went into medicine, law, finance, etc have this type of problem in their industries.

As we are not in a court in here, only the laymen opinion is relevant as it is impossible to make a strict legal discussion without having a strict legal process.

I would say, Apple is very popular in the US but I don't see how it can be a monopoly when you can just order another device from Amazon and that device being just good or maybe better. In many other rich countries, people are choosing Samsung, Americans can do that too if they want.
Not sure if you jest, but a minority gets regular flu injections. As is states it doesn't seem sustainable.

Lockdowns can provide a benefit, but I am sure people want everything to open up again. Doing so makes a stronger case by the day.
Apple might have a minority of units sold, but they have a very convincing majority of revenues and profits in several markets, e.g. https://www.counterpointresearch.com/global-handset-market-o...

"Apple has been the biggest profit and revenue generator in the handset business. In Q2 2021, it captured 75% of the overall handset market operating profit and 40% of the revenue despite contributing a relatively moderate 13% to global handset shipments."

And those are global numbers. Now what do you think their US numbers look like, or their app store numbers? They hold plenty of monopolistic power to enable abuse, and that's enough to be regulated if the government was so inclined.

And, this lawsuit isn't just about Apple, it's about Google too. Certainly you don't have any doubts about their monopoly status.

> I don't see how regulators should intervene in this.

TFA proposes some remedies in very broad strokes. Looks good to me. Unregulated monopolies and oligopolies extract excessive profits from consumers and limit choice through anti-competitive practices. You might be fine with that. I'm not.
You don’t need leetcode. I have 4 YOE and I was able to find a job in 3 weeks (after being fired because the company decided to not hire remote outside of US anymore) as an international remote at a US company paying low 6 figures (which is an awesome salary for me). I did not practice leetcode at all and didn’t interview anywhere that would ask it.

Stop applying to those companies.
> $20B. It is hard to believe that this payment is just for being the default search engine.

Well ask yourself what the value of this placement is? Google earns about $200 per user, mostly in ad revenue. If Google search wasn't default, they'd probably lose half the users.

There are 1 billion iPhone users. At $200 each, Google stands to loose $200b. So a price tag of $20b to keep that...
Still confused about her voice... Was that her real voice or what? Also, and perhaps more importantly, would the grift have worked at all without it?

Terrible advice. Gap year is a waste of time and is reserved for rich kids. You won’t be doing anything meaningful with your life due to COVID anyway. You have no employable skill set. You don’t have money because you’re a broke ass 18 year old. If your idea of fun is breaking your back bussing tables at a restaurant 40 hours a week then feel free to get a degree and do it after.

I wouldn’t bother and have seen the effects on people who did skip the last year or two. It’s been terrible for them. They’ve basically been stuck at home doing jack shit and watching years of their life disappear without any progress on literally any front.
I think that the SWE will converge towards more memorization - which is fine as it's a craft. Our craft will be like plumbers, carpenters etc.

maybe i misunderstood what you were trying to say. it sounded to me like you dismissed those german institutions for choosing GnuPG when better alternatives exist (and are used elsewhere (my interpretation))

but looking at those alternatives, i don't believe they are a good choice for any larger institution. what they need is tools that are proven technology and easy to use. i mean they are even expecting to use them on windows. and we all know how dumb that is. but they do as they are wont to do.

sure, i don't doubt that tools exist that provide better security, but they are better only if you have the skill to use them. they are not better for the kind of institutions we talk about here. GnuPG itself was in that camp for a long time. it is going to take even longer for any alternatives to become more approachable
