sounds just like programming ... I know! let's invent object oriented welding to lower the barriers to being able to make a weld that holds.
So to begin with let me be clear that I think using car batteries to time-shift load on the power grid makes some sense (mostly for cars parked at homes). However, it sounds like you're talking about using car batteries for solving distribution over geographical space rather than time, which I don't think makes sense at all.

> Why wouldn't I want to sell some of that electricity at a higher price

1) Charging, driving, and charging is never going to be economically competitive with transferring power through transmission lines.

2) Even if you could somehow drive from an area that has chargers connected to power plants to an area that ... has a decentralized off grid charging thing (?), and there's enough density of customers there in this electricity-less place, you can at most sell something like $2 per hour and a reasonable profit is going to be in the tens of cents per hour, max. Then you have to cover expenses: wear and tear on your $20,000 battery, on the rest of your car, opportunity cost of sitting there giving away power, and most importantly the planning and risk involved in driving afterwards with less in the tank.

Thanks. In any case, I'm not sure why we're discussing cherry picked datapoints when someone already posted national averages...
There's a big difference between researching a topic to a standard good enough for 'popular rocket science' and 'understanding the maths well enough to work in the field'.
I think software quality is always decreasing because of multiple factors.

1) The tension between leadership that usually only prioritizes shipping new features and engineering that wants to write sustainable code. There is usually no incentive for engineering to decrease technical debt or increase sustainability, as these changes are usually not tangible to leadership. The only short-term beneficiaries of one engineer's code quality improvements are other engineers, which often don't care that much, as they are busy shipping new features as quickly as possible.

2) Speaking of short-term, not all leadership thinks long-term. Sustainable code makes sense if you're thinking long-term, but not if leadership is chasing lucrative exits in a couple of months. If a project survives for 20 years, chances are it survived multiple leadership changes, which all thought short-term.

3) In software, the only constant is change. As project gets older, it has to deal with all the changes that aging entails. Aging means increased exposure to reality and all the "surprising amount of detail"[1] it contains. This increases complexity, introduces bugs, adds edge cases to deal with, etc.

I have to imagine the defendants who opt for a bench trial have reasons for making that choice that don't necessarily apply to the defendants who choose a jury trial.

With the recent popularity of genetic testing services for health and ancestry tracing, I would think this would be easy to tease out of the data. Of course not many people will expect to see as part of the report that their father is also their grandfather or uncle; I wonder how these services handle that?
This is really cool. As others have said I'd love to see an option to output a GIF and additional animation options.
The taxing of credentials is an interesting concept I haven't heard before. What do you think some potentially unintended consequences be?

It made me think of the way some professional licenses work. The payment to keep the credential is essentially a tax. Some employers won't list the credential on a job description because then they'd be required to pay for it. But they only hire people with said credential, essentially shifting the tax on the individual and creating a kind of shadow job hiring process where the people being turned away may not be sure that getting the credential would open the door for them.
>It's not generally that great a quality right?

You just described youtube in general. As the old saying goes, "content is king". Look at VHS (if you're old enough to remember). As bad of a quality as it was, everyone used it. Pros would complain about how bad it looked, but the mass populace was just fine with it. Youtube is the same way. In the beginning, the quality was soooo bad, but users didn't care because it gave them endless content.
I mean, you can have all of it u know. Like learning JS and then Webpack etc etc with DSA as well. I do it. Everyone else does it.

How many manhole in NYC questions is hand wavy and not precise. Totally different than DSA.
> The father [is] - and should be - the one who raises the child.

We’re implicitly dealing with two senses of the word “father” in this context which makes most of your sentences seem both commonsensical and ambigious.

> If anything, the predominant messaging today is the exact opposite of that. It also doesn't matter because public loans qualify for income based repayment, so it doesn't matter. If you end up stuck working at McDonalds for the rest of your life, you'll never pay back a dime.

Unless you do get a job in your field, with enough income that you're supposed to pay it back, but can't. This probably will be less common with the current rates, but as recently as 2012 the interest rates were at 6.8% .

> Current undergrad rates are fixed at 3.73%.

Indeed. I was operating off of the rates from those who took loans in 2012 or before, the current rate is much more reasonable.

> Interesting, (as an American myself) I've never heard an American use uni outside of conversation with Europeans.

I probably picked it up from the internet and spread it to the group, I like saying less syllables :P
This is actually what happened. :)
From what I know, system76 didn't shill cosmos as a rust DE, the only reference to Rust being done in some reddit comment. Most PopOS users don't know what Rust is, so it wouldn't make sense to talk about Cosmos as a Rust project.

Now, 90-95% of users use GNOME or KDE, having some competition from a `new` GTK4 DE can't be bad, so I would like to see Cosmos gain attention, and maybe be ported to other distros.

How did you do that?
index or format specs are ok, but capturing variables is a bad idea, visually bloats the string, it becomes unreadable
This just means the "length of a second" wanders around randomly and is thus useless. So now "a second" isn't any particular amount of time, and you've lost all ability to really measure time except in a vague inexact sense.

The quest to eliminate irreproducibility from metrication is why SI did all that work to finally eliminate the kilogram prototype. The second was defined reproducibly decades ago because trying to define it based on our planet's inconstant spin was such a failure.

The fact that the Earth's spin is not constant is perhaps frustrating, but like other facts just insisting it isn't true doesn't help you.
> So I'm sorry to say to you Britons that you're lousy English speakers, as far as I'm concerned ;)

Fair. As a teen cycling along Portsdown Hill, a white van driver stopped to ask me for directions. I didn’t recognise the name of the place they said they were looking for until I cycled on to the next signpost and realised their accent had just confused me and that the place itself was a local village I knew perfectly well.
And how does MOND work with relativity then?

Why is this sad? Standardized IQ tests are notoriously difficult to get right and may be legally questionable (Griggs v. Duke Power Co.).

At some point you have to accept that there is no ideal way to interview, and that there are fundamental time/precision/recall trade offs. Big tech optimizes for low time and high precision, which means you certainly will end up with low recall (false negatives).

I’m sure there are improvements to me made (and maybe the specific leetcode style is not ideal), but I don’t think the billions of dollars is relevant. It’s like saying it’s sad that tech companies haven’t improving on O(n log(n)) sorting despite their billions — it’s not possible.
> the authors haven't retracted anything

Why would you trust the authors, though? They really should know better. To me, the omission is either the product of general incompetence (they forgot?), or intent to deceive. Both of those seem pretty disqualifying.
How's that my problem? I don't owe you a profit! More, we don't owe you anything, the obligation at best runs the other direction.

Users of open software are making use of work of others frequently without payment or any similar contribution to that work. At a certain scale, and that point can be defined in arbitrarily, your ability to free ride on the work of others ends. I don't how that is a controversial point.

Yes, but most power is in fact following the Poynting vector along the wires, not the direct Poynting vector between the battery and the bulb, as the video misleadingly suggests (but doesn't outright claim).
It's still very early and there's no way that the people making this can't see the alignment and spacing problems. I would assume they will get to it when they can.

The other stuff (like rounding everything) is a deliberate choice.
Your life must be quite different from mine. My casual conversations with my friend group - who are 20s and 30s liberals, mixed gender - are not office appropriate. I would certainly not bring any of the regular political debates into work either.

The amount of sex related conversation in my friend group is, from my perspective, normal but entirely inappropriate for work. Even my female barber talks about her sex life during haircuts.

At work I keep my sarcasm set to near zero, avoid politics, religion, and sex, and generally keep a narrow focus. Work is an artificial environment, but my coworkers don't get to choose me. It is on me to behave in a way that is beyond reproach.
> One of the benefits of office jobs is that you get high pay, stable hours, relatively low stress and get to work in an air-conditioned room. So I would still prefer that over skilled trades even if the pay was the same.

One of the downsides is your job can be easily outsourced to a country with lower wages, and with remote work here to stay (IMO), that is going to be even easier than before.

There are no remote plumbers.

I firmly believe that if you show up on time, are pleasant, and are competent at your work, running your own business is a slam dunk and you can charge whatever you want (within reason). Because my experience is that it's nearly impossible anymore to get all of those things.
If you for example do some open source projects between 15 and 18 and then get a job after finishing high school.. by the time the other person graduates college you will already have 4 years of experience and be a mid level/senior developer.. so you have a start of 4 years in terms of money as well as experience

We only look at college degrees for people without experience... for people that have experience, we don't care about the college sine it is all outdated stuff anyway... the interview will tell us what we want to know

I mean quite seriously that putting children in romantic, intimate relationships is legal in America. Only 6 states have banned marrying children. I’m emphasizing this because I want to point out the degree in which sexual violence is normalized, to the point where 5 percent of women in a study who believed they weren’t sexually abused might realize they have been and be dropped out of the study is totally within the bounds of reality.
The alternative is way way way worse for both the companies and the candidates. While DSA is basically upside for everyone but especially, especially the candidates.

OP here.

The original title did include the word "bash" (it was the one and only instance of the word "bash"). I removed this word from the main article because including the word "bash" superseded a conversation that was nominally about internet broadcasting. Maybe the title of this HN submission can be changed too.

I appreciate the commenters that picked up on the main theme of article and shared some interesting links! But I did enjoy the humorous comments too (who doesn't enjoy some good-natured bashing (pun-intended)).

I doubt it. A film with a muted color palette doesn't come across the same as a black and white film--even if works well, it doesn't work the same way. And the characteristics that made film noir work so well visually--dramatic, unnatural lighting and inventive composition--just aren't present in these new movies.

Why was the jury required to understand the law? That's not a reasonable expectation for random people off the street.

In the US, juries typically decide questions of _fact_ that are not already agreed upon by both parties (i.e. are in dispute). Judges handle questions of law.
A fine example both of self-selection of applicants, and signaling by both parties, that might even be better than application puzzles since it has a lower bar of entry, and therefore casts a wider net!
Around ~2005 I took a tour of the [a well known government organization] and they were bragging about several-PB-sized databases at the time. Interestingly, there was a TON of server racks there in a bomb-proof building with tons of security, and they were all IBM servers (a supercomputer maybe?), if I remember correctly. Also, there was one small server rack that was painted differently from the rest (it looked like something made in-house), and we asked what it was, and the tour guide (a PhD computer scientist) said that technically it doesn't exist and he couldn't talk about it even though it was super cool. Now that I know what they were doing around that time (and probably still today) I am kinda scared at the implications of that tour guide's statement and what that one tiny rack was for. I'm glad I never went to work in their organization, since that tour was meant to recruit some of us a few years down the road.

That's unfair assessment.

While I find it hard to believe that European countries are that much more privacy focused... the reason for the divide is that European countries, in or outside of EU, have stricter rules on user data... and much more recourse for users.

Having those rules creates an advantage for any company that doesn't operate by those rules while serving people located in the countries covered by those rules. The goal was never to "limit the reach of US companies", but to prevent uneven playing field.(EU was specifically created to keep markets competitive)

What's worse is that US government, that is legally barred from snooping on people in US, says that data of people not physically present on US soil is fair game to do as they wish.
Your sadness is not actionable. It will remain status quo until someone thinks of something better, regardless of ambient sadness levels.
But I do get to implement these in some my day to day work. Not everyday of course, but every other month there are some problems that I used my DSA knowledge to solve.

Graph problems are pretty common, even in frontend stuff. Often times I have to write my own library.
I just updated to Android 12 and the new border-radius on nearly every UI element is beyond absurd. It actually looks like someone just discovered that CSS property, and instead of being told by a designer "that looks goofy and childlike, tone it down," they doubled the value and put it on even more elements.

My notifications pull-down fits about 3 useful notifications. The rest is whitespace and rounded corners 4 layers deep. It's horrible.

I read a book recently on technical advances in early Hollywood. One chapter was on cinematographers. To start, they were using off-the-shelf consumer tech. It was the responsibility of the cinematographer to provide their own equipment (and hold it, one but not the only reason why there weren't many women in the job). As the 1920s went on, cameras eventually became expensive enough that the business model had to change. Now studios purchased them and provided them to cinematographers working on specific films. This was part of the broader move to the studio system.

It was still a while before there were a lot of Hollywood-specific cameras developed. It was still a niche market compared to, say, home movies.
I asked whether or not you have kids because you seem to be completely misunderstanding both what is happening and why we're doing it.

Saying "no" to a request for attention and/or milk at 2AM (for a 1 year-old) is not neglect, it's just setting a healthy boundary.

I'd even be willing to go one step further and say that insisting your partner do this is abusive.
Wouldn’t it be trivial for YouTube to just make a filter that says “If a user marks over 20 videos ‘Not Interesting’ in 24 hours, stop counting their ‘Not Interesting’ marks in our recommendation algorithm”?
I think Sonos proves my point. My understanding is that their growth has stalled out. So, that's why they are shifting to patent licensing. And maybe to your point that's fair assuming their patents are truly innovative inventions that Google is unfairly using.

I don't make any claims on the basis of authority, the math in the comment speaks for itself.
For very small companies, hiring someone with the right skills who will work well with the team is a crucial, "this might make or break our company" decision. I've seen a couple of companies who solve this by having the candidate spend a day pairing with someone on a real problem. When this works (whatever's being worked on is small enough to be understandable, the language/platform/domain/tool isn't completely foreign to the candidate, etc), it's a really great signal.

But for very large companies, it's still really bad to hire bad candidates, but it's also important to be efficient. You need multiple opinions on candidates, but the interviewers can't spend a whole day each; it's too expensive. But on the other hand, you have basically an unlimited pool of candidates. So you do whatever's both fast and is unlikely to produce bad "hire" decisions, and supposedly a series of algorithm puzzlers do a good job of being fast and producing a low false positive rate. I'm not sure if that's actually true, but that's the argument. I am sure that the process rejects a huge number of perfectly good programmers, though.

Here, I'll try to explain to you why (this message was brough to you by pierce and pierce aquisitions) replacing whitespace with a static banner ad is user hostile.

2 years experience @ 30 years old? That's a joke. There are people 10 years younger than you with that amount of experience who are happy to work 16 hour days for a mediocre wage. Sure they will mess up a lot, but so will you.

I worked there for a few years, on flight software. The culture depends quite a bit on what department you're in. I learned how to push back on schedule pressure and was able to strike a reasonable work-life balance, and the head of my department was very good at buffering us from management. My departure was uncommon in that I left on good terms while I was happy. There were other departments, though, that seemed to operate more like a fraternity, and plenty of burnt-out people.
It sounds less like you're selling bandwidth, than letting your devices participate in scraping the web in a non-centralized way that's harder for site owners to detect.
Perhaps the described patch based routing to experts isn't a problem in practice, but at first glance it does seem to discard more spatial information than you'd like as well as introducing more image boundaries than would be ideal. You could argue that the former is a known issue with many DNN architectures, though if the intent is to enable larger scale generalization it seems like this paper might be trading away more information in the source material for speed than would be desired. AFAIK the shuffling would be less of an issue in textual models than image processing tasks. As per the boundaries, I guess there could be padding in play, though I suspect that the resulting network is going to have higher sensitivities to shifts up/down or left/right by a few pixels.

Even with those issues I'd imagine there could be some nice benefits and the authors are correct (IMO) for leaning on the areas of conditional execution and routing as it allows for the network to specialize on a given subdomain while being computationally efficient. We'll have to see where subsequent work takes this approach.
