> There is no need to back this memory with files

And there isn't. It seems you just don't really understand virtual memory, and don't want to acknowledge what everyone else understands by "file-backed memory". And given that I find it courageous how stubborn you are, as well as starting personal attacks.

> Then you wouldn't explain it and eventually admit that you do need to have a file path

Need to have a file path IN WHICH ENVIRONMENT, IN WHICH CONTEXT??? Could YOU please clarify. We can easily make a simple OS which doesn't have "files" but does have processes that can share memory using virtual memory technology.

Shared memory IPC is fundamentally not about files, and you were even shown a way to setup shared memory mappings between Linux processes using normal userland API entirely without the use of files or file paths - with the restriction that the mappings have to be inherited (fork()).

How someone, even with no real understanding of the topic, could not at the latest at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29947339 acknowledge that I was being perfectly clear that I was talking about persistent files (I literally said on a hard drive), is beyond me. I should have stopped this discussion at that point.

Now get off my lawn.
Developer hack puts CarPlay on Tesla using a Raspberry Pi
Turkmenistan has essentially endless natural gas. They'd love to sell it but the Russian government is very focused on making sure that they stay as the only real buyer of their gas.
I'm also ignorant of (though extremely curious about!) real physics, and have had the exact same thought since learning audio DSP principles! I'm always amazed that quantum mechanics was developed before Claude Shannon's theory of information and Hartley and Nyquist's sampling theory. I guess the question is whether Planck time is an actual physical limit or "just" about measurement.
What are you suggesting these medications be used for?
> I even got an OTA update that tweaked the motors a bit and gave me faster acceleration and increased range compared to when I first picked it up, for free

Wait, are you bragging about your car being intentionally nerfed which was then reversed “for free”?!

The kool aid must be great.
AFAIK long term fixed rate mortgages only exist in the US. Every other country has the equivalent to ARM only. This is why the rising of interests rates could be devastating to lots of home owners who budgeted based on the existing rates. I wonder what will happen.
That was my point, just because you can only perceive at one limit, does not mean there is nothing beyond that like Ultrasound. Anyhow, was analogy about perception and sample rates and what your measuring. Clearly didn't make it that clear and sorry for that.
The standard route to a junior software job paying >$100k is to attend an elite US college, major in computer science, and get very good grades. If you pull that off, you will have no problem getting interviews from companies that do on-campus recruiting, and your classes will probably prepare you well for the interviews.

If you live in the US already and have very good high school grades and standardized test scores, you should definitely consider it. Being poor is not necessarily a deal-breaker, the elite schools tend to have very generous need-based financial aid.

Please note that I'm not trying to tell you that this system is good for society or even good for the companies themselves, just telling you how it is.

If you are one of the many many people for whom that path is unrealistic, there are a few other options that can get you there. The first is to find any software job you can and work it for 2-5 years, and at the same time study data structures and algorithms. Then follow the process some other people have mentioned to try to get a job at a big tech company. I would think after 2-5 years experience you can probably land a job at a not-big-tech company in the 70-80k range without much trouble. Just 6 months is not going to help much in getting your second job (if a job ends that fast, there's often something seriously wrong with either the person or that person's boss, and if I'm sifting through 200 resumes, why take a chance?), but $20/hour is hilariously low (at least in the US), almost any other programming job is going to pay much much more (again, in the US).

Also, in general with job hunting, you just have to be really persistent. Well paying jobs attract hundreds of applicants, and there's a lot of luck required just to get the first interview.

Finally, I'm hiring, email in profile if you want to send a resume my way.
There are 3 options here.

My advice is to skip the last one unless you need something truly complicated and a config syntax that is just insane regardless of your level of complexity imo.

Of course if you just want mac based keybinds to be done for you then use my kinto app.

Another, maybe even more simple approach is: the art of saying no.

Corporate life today has this idea that we should always be doing more. Side hassles, taking on more. Putting in extra hours, etc.

There's beauty in knowing when enough is enough and stepping back and making time for yourself.
Why just on a Monday? I feel like not drinking on Sunday to Thursday would be more useful.
It's the "standard" system in both countries. :)
I'd look at it the other way and say what would the world be like now of we'd make a vaccine we could celebrate as successful. I want to be clear, it seems like a promising technology, I'm just suggesting we reign in the praise we heap on it until we've actually finished what we started and finished solving a problem with it. Prematurely declaring victory makes an easy target for detractors.
Yeah, I can get the map to load fine, but the overlay of the railway data loads in really slowly and doesn't load a bunch of chunks at all.
Technical Interview Prospective Employee
Hi All. I need any tips about a technical interview process of prospective employee. I always was on the different side of the table, however currently I need to do the interview from different side. Could anyone give me hints, tips or any proper guide how to find a good developer. The role that I need to fulfill is a junior position, basically I need a person who wants to learn and eager for knowledge.
> maybe we should start with, "how does anyone math" first.

Dijkstra & friends sought answer to that question.
you guys already have a point system…
This is interesting, but I’m not sure how it relates to an entirely different OS?
Your assertion is that a bill which would have cut legal immigration by 50% was meant to raise immigration in the long term?
Here's a thought experiment for you. How do you transfer money from US to: Venezuela, Mali, Lybia, Angolia, Tajikistan, Uruguay?

I can give you a really simple answer when using crypto: you just transfer it.

Can't wait to hear your answer for each of those countries, and the fees and delays associated with it.

edit: some people go work in a western country and send money home to their family.
Getting called out for drinking alone seems odd and I've never heard of that happening to anyone I know anywhere. Do you live in a college town?

Seemed common in SF and other major metros I've lived in. You're not going to find many people doing it at hipster bars but it's definitely normal at neighborhood watering holes.
"One of my best friends. We still sometimes never talk."
The history is very strange.

Many modern brake pads have a simple circuit of a wire connected to the computer. The wires are designed to break when the pad is worn out so the car computer detect a voltage return of zero in that electric circuit and will trigger a warning immediately.

Hypothese 1. If the maker forgot to install the brake pad. Then we have to assume that neither the second employee nor the car computer noticed that something was wrong, and this is very strange because the computer at least -must- know it.

Hypothese 2. The pad was installed but was loose or fell later. The seller or one of the seller employees had some fun driving the car before, hit a bump or something and the pad was dislodged and fell. They didn't noticed it or tried to hide the problem.

Does not explain why the owner didn't noticed a warning in the dashboard from the minute 0.

Hypothese 3. The owner hit a bump and lost the brake pad in the first days of driving the car. Maybe without being aware of that. So nobody see the warning light because there was not a warning light to be seen. Not until later. (we could also suspect that the structure that keeps the brake pad in place maybe is fragile in this car).

There are other possibilities, but they are much less probable
Personally i like how Window Maker does it: you can switch between all windows like in Windows, KDE, XFCE and most other floating window managers (by default on Alt+Tab) but you can also switch only between the windows of the current group (usually all windows of an application belong to the same group) or quickly toggle between the last two workspaces (what WM calls virtual desktops). The last two aren't bound to keys by default, but personally i have those set to Alt+` (sort of taken from when i used a Mac for a while) and Win+Tab respectively.

The only annoyance is that it doesn't seem to distinguish between window types so, e.g., in GIMP in multiple window mode it also cycles between utility windows like the toolbar, options, etc instead of only the image windows - though some applications do not even bother providing window hints about their window types.
You're screwing the people who have to pay much more to get on the property ladder than those before them. In essence, it's a transfer of wealth, predominantly from younger people (getting on the property ladder) to those who have been on it for a long time. What the younger generation will do when it's their turn (when most of them couldn't even afford to get on the ladder in the first place, nowadays), I don't know.
The Efficient Market Hypothesis famously assumes that investors are "rational." It's been widely ridiculed as unrealistic, because investors are human, and wont to irrational action. Perhaps one shouldn't assume that rationalists are rational; a more, shall I say, reasoned approach would be to evaluate those espousing Rationalism on the (little-r) rationality of their words and actions. Though, there are those who would be offended by one's findings, yea or nay.
As soon as many of us went to remote work, suddenly there's this rise of making the "perfect" home office.

Why? why do I need to buy more stuff, take on the extra work of making my home office LOOK like a pristine zen room? Do I need all the LED lights that streamers use?

I thought the whole point of working from home was the flexibility to do work when and where was best for me. Sometimes I find myself after hours in my basement thinking, why don't I just go sit outside and enjoy the sun? I have entires days when I basically go from the upstairs to the downstairs and then back up at the end of the day. No different from going to the office, only the office was my basement.
I wonder how much green house gasses come from these kind of fires in the world.
Unless you have legitimate health issues that make exercise painful, the anticipated cost is a greater than the actual cost.

It is still unrealistic to say that they are “very very high” though. The main barriers imo are not the perceived cost of exercise but the lack of perceived benefits. Certainly a health scare can make exercise seem more appealing.

The benefits of exercise are only seen over time. In the short term, the benefits may not outweigh the efforts so those seeking instant gratification will find it difficult to justify expending the effort. I don’t think it’s the costs being “very very high” that prevent most people from exercising.
Assuming Nautilus, Ctrl+L. I do wish just clicking on it worked though. I'd guess the reason they haven't implemented that is because it's also the window bar, so it's draggable.
From my understanding, it’s a double whammy because

1) higher interest rates can dampen growth

2) as fed fund rates rise, so does risk free rate and equities especially the pricey ones like tech have a tough time justifying their valuations.
HN discussion about Scott Aaronson's blog: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29778348
Elon is clearly on some galactic brain game theory with this move because, despite firing all his PR people, people like you still think they have a PR department and not only that but their PR department runs the entire company and their product / software update release cycle! And they're apparently proactive enough to have the right card to pull for any given corporate disaster they may find themselves in!

Why pay for a PR department when people still think you have one even without one?

0.02 - I don't think it's great that Tesla got rid of their media relations department, but I also don't think that they have people cracking the whip on holiday update deadlines so they can cover up NHTSA investigations or whatever. You don't get cool on social media by forcing it. Now, the Cyberwhistle is a different story...

(disclosure: Tesla owner, no stock held)
I was listening to NPR the other day and they had a piece about how the individual can do their part reducing carbon emissions by not eating so much meat. The interviewee went into the amount of resources that go into supporting a diet with meat vs a less-meaty diet and the point was pretty clear. The interviewer rounded off the piece by asking about racial disparities and how this will disproportionately affect non whites.

In some circles, this sort of thing is called eco-fascism I guess.
> I usually buy used cars and maintain them myself to a good degree

I used to maintain my cars myself, including doing belt services and such when due, and even a couple engine and gearbox rebuilds. But the older I get, the more I can't get up the motivation. It's so nice to just take the car in to a trusted mechanic and have them do it. Recently started using a vacuum oil evacuator to do oil changes through the top though and boy is that quick and easy. Best $100 I've spent in a while.
for democrats blacks or hispanics are like a hivemind. and for the ones that publicly state they are republican, they will call them uncle tom and ostracise them. this is the real racism ive seen in usa more so than the white identitarian politics
Because maybe I don't want to clobber my clipboard with every damned thing I highlight?
Well, as opposed to hearing "oops our black box implementation of your information got hacked", I honestly don't mind the trend of "read the contract, it is code". Sure it can be misleading, sure it can be intended to trick someone. However, code is law, and even backdoors are "code". Instead we should fix the backdoors so that code can be reasonable "law".
Anyone could describe a relative scent of 'real' saffron?

I did experience supposedly some of its use, but mostly as a coloring agent (yields a nice light orange tint). But for such purpose annato color is much cheaper alternative.

All that saffron rice to my taste is just regular, unlike jasmine rice, for example, which has a sweet floral, acacia-like, scent.

I know, some crocuses may smell very sweet, but those are fresh, not the dried ones like saffron often sold, not speaking that a lot of it may be fake for some 'curious' folks like myself :)
Plastic is used to save weight. I have both new RF lenses and the old EF lenses. The RFs are better in every way like for like and are much lighter. Makes a ton of difference when carrying around.

I don’t think it’s all about cost saving.
I'm not sure where juniors are making six figures unless they are in the bay area (where cost of living is through the roof) and they happen to work for a hip startup that can pay them. Because I certainly didn't start out at $100k+. Not even half that, actually.

$20 an hour seems sorta low but, having made it well into the six figure range, a big part of me is no longer interested in making six figures. The more that I make, the more I'm getting paid to endure mental anguish over layer upon layer of engineering and workplace issues. I miss the days where I made less but my job was not only less critical but also had more freedom to it, ironically, as much as my first jobs weren't really spectacular.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't desire to be making more, but try to find a bright side to your current position. Even my worst positions have aspects to them that I miss that I probably won't experience again.

That being said, I do believe you could be making far more than that as a remote software engineer. If I was in your position, I'd work out the next 6 months so that I will have worked at your company for a year, which is kind of a magic number in this industry, and interview at different companies that pay more.

Also, don't take HN too seriously. If someone just listened to HN, they'd think that they must write everything in Rust/Go/Typescript and use Kubernetes for even the smallest of projects. This is a place for people to make themselves sound smart.
Yea, Desktop Linux is edging closer and closer. I am finding that I have been able to make go of Ubuntu Budgie w/ my kinto.sh app, sorun.me & autorandr.. which I need to the last thing to sorun.me as it is my "setup my entire desktop OS in 5 minutes or less" script.

Autorandr is amazing.. and I am also making betterScale atm to help hiDPI laptop users scale their Gnome based or Budgie based DE w/ or w/o mixed lo and hi dpi monitors.
Assuming something important doesn’t rust, corrode, or disintegrate over time. ;)
I was more shocked to find out that the author somehow got a PhD in Physiology
But would you say the same if they said all employees had to exercise daily or log how many vegetables they ate or whatever? In principal I agree that an employer should basically be able to dictate terms of employment and you take them or leave them and the market sorts it out. But there's still nothing wrong with calling out job requirements that are overreach or simply not part of the job, so other employees there can see they're getting a raw deal. Criticizing a policy doesn't mean Apple should be compelled to change it.
>You can't fully blame the system or the individual. It's both. Why must everything be a binary war nowadays?

in societies with limited 'systems', obesity is a non-issue; so if that's the case then it stands to reason that it's the responsibility of the individual to try to disregard the temptations that the 'system' they're a member of places in front of them, no?

This is further reinforced by the fact that heavily-obese countries are not anywhere near 100% obese; individuals in those societies acted with their own sovereignty to avoid whatever physiological issues.

So, in other words, I blame both the individual and the system for the journey towards obesity, but feel that it remains staunchly in the individual hands of the person to avoid whatever pitfalls their individual systems put in front of them.
The hardest parts for me at the moment is quitting the habit itself, and after that the physical withdrawal symptoms, which are not fun.
This is probably not exactly what you mean by diet, but Rob Gray (an Ultraman world champion) says:

in the 10 days before the race I would predominantly eat a high fat diet. Based on all the testing I’ve done, what you eat in this window has a large impact on how your body uses fat vs carb on race day

Mac SE/30 is from circa 1989.
except at some terminals, when ctrl+arrow doesn't work, or prints a weird character, so you try alt+arrow and it does work. then you're using alt+arrow for so long you go to another terminal, use it, and end up switching to another tty session, the same as you had learnt for ctrl+alt+F2. your brain pauses for 5 seconds, you try and get back with ctrl+alt+F1, which does nothing here. then you capsize bare metal and revert back to a VM within your childhood OS to emotionally distance yourself from the shapeshifting nightmare of linux key bindings, install the latest guest additions, accidentally press ctrl+alt+down at a loading screen out of underwhelmed boredom, now your screen within a screen is downside-up. you then short circuit your $300 keyboard with tears, before briefly dismissing reconsidering your life choices
Ha! Do you plan on using it for practical stuff?
"Journalism (capital J)" was always trash. "Objective" journalism is just a euphemism for institutional journalism, which has always served the interests of the powerful. Now that the institutions of power have shifted from projecting white/male-supremacist nationalist Christian conservatism to pure predatory neoliberalism, a lot of people who thought that the newspapers were noble carriers of the light of truth are shook.

There's nothing that the networked financial scams that we refer to as first world economies love more than making the real issue irrational predjudice rather than anything material.

We'll pass peak woke after the white male backlash results in serious consequences for already oppressed people. Then we'll get back to white male identity politics, and the papers won't be any more objective than they were before.

My favorite story about all this was that in 2016 MSNBC was so sure of Clinton's pending win that the new head was going to completely revamp the network editorial line in order to attack Clinton from the right. Instead, with the curse/blessing after the election of the Trump media gravy train continuing, they doubled down into what we see today. How do you attack Trump when you generally agree with him on policy? Wokeness and Russians, while periodically slipping in actual political objections, which consisted of objections to withdrawal from lucrative wars, not arming the Ukrainians, and tariffs.

Wokeness is a PR strategy. A summer of marching in the streets, and the police are more funded than ever.
When my WRX started making an odd ticking sound guess what Subaru told me to do? "Bring it in right now." Ended up being a bearing in the engine, but Subaru sourced and replaced the entire engine quicker than Tesla has a rotor, caliper, and pad.

I can't believe how people tolerate replacement parts taking so long for Teslas. Tesla is the only supplier. They are choosing to make more new mostly working cars instead of fixing the ones missing things like brake pads. They could just allocate more parts to repairs.
This is clearly some type of absurdism. "Modern drunkard magazine". OK.

If you drink, don't let it control you.
Indeed. Being a part of a young high functioning group of alcoholics leads to some very interesting situations.

In contrast, drinking alone is more of a solemn affair. When I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.
How’s this better than a $15 mortar and pestle?

I mean for $200 let’s mill that bitch out of a solid block of Ti and give it tungsten carbide burrs…okay that’s probably a $1000 kitchen status symbol.
Not really sure I'm getting your point, or at least, I don't follow how this is super relevant to the GP comment about how they don't get the "drama" around this issue.

If Tesla took a month or two to install new brake pads, that would be pretty bad. But they forgot/cut corners and failed to install brake pads entirely, which raises this to outrageous.
I think if you put code out there in such a fashion that use of it depends on your version of it (whether that be the community culture at large, or just specifically your way of going about it), then you have more of an obligation not to just take it down without warning people and giving them time to transition to either a forked package, or their own local copy, or whatever. It certainly harms the individual developer's reputation who does such a thing, even if one indeed has the ultimate right to do so.

Of course, if this pushes people away from modern dependency hell, then it may just be a good thing.
