It all depends on the delivery. Criticising someone's work is sensitive and you need to consider this. My number one problem is always that not enough positive feedback is given, you work really hard and make a great solution to a really important problem, give it to the team, and all you get back is someone aggressively and stubbornly picking on it for minor details.

It's just a really negative attitude, you go to see the Sistine Chapel with someone, and the only thing they have to say about it is that there was a crack in the ceiling, and just repeat that the crack should be fixed. Would that not affect your experience?
There is Europass resumes which is quite common in Europe (At least in my country).

Is is a good think? For most of the job positions it is okay, but if you want to stand out you need to make something unique.
You can calculate Shannon entropy of an individual password, as the number of bits per char.

A password of "aaaaaaa" will have a much lower entropy than "axipeY7".

There was a movie made about that story book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodorowsky%27s_Dune

With it there are 4 Dune "movies" out: the 1984 Lynch version, the 2000 Sci-Fi Channel one (a 3 part mini series, nearly a movie), the aforementioned 2013 one, and of course the 2021 Villeneuve one.
The number of deployed lambdas likely exceeds the number of ec2 instances by many multiples (pure conjecture). It's a perfect use-case for v6 - dual stack in front and then v6 internally.

I was playing with copilot last week and was managing to auto generate trivial code by just by writing comments. I found out that "# test function1" also wrote some trivial tests. All my examples were along the lines of "# get all even numbers in a list", but it did really impress me.

I've seen some push back at work against Copilot. Obviously, you the developer is ultimately responsible for the code you commit.
> What he did was no where near acceptable.

It was a rebellious act against (what seems like) overbearing organizations, comparable to spraying a graffiti on their walls. As I said, there was no serious damage and nobody was hurt; it's not like he burned down buildings or shot at people. I'm of the opinion that this was not the right way as well, but in the end it really wasn't that bad.
> I wonder if this could be solved by picking a widely available but fairly stable platform for it.

For buses and basic IO it might be a solution. For a broader picture, it may be not.

For example: your favorite USB device that requires a custom driver won't work (like a USB-to-Serial FTDI chip). Starting from there, now imagine giving support for every printer in existence.
So, not just a Pi-Hole as I immediately first assumed.
Yes, I think it is worth it to know about the fundamentals. It is a very vertical field of study and you might want to combine it with another engineering discipline. I did so with electrical engineering (I am a horrible electrical engineer, but it still benefited me to know the problem space).

Some universities have something like a studium generale, which I don't think hurts to evade the narrow perspective of computer science. Otherwise it doesn't hurt to look into other fields.

On the other hand you can also study another engineering discipline and be a good programmer, but I believe that most content in computer science is worth it. At least at my university that was the case.

How though? Reducing spending on Social security or military, would be incredibly unpopular.
Reminds me of rip graphics, a format which briefly existed as a way to add vector graphics to bulletin board systems. It was useable over a telnet or dialup modem connection if you had a terminal that supported the rip escape codes.

Author of the article here. Since I first published this blog post I was getting messages from people asking how it ended.

Sadly it's pretty anticlimactic as the owner of the place had a meeting with the guy who put the Pi there (without me as he didn't want the Pi-dropper to feel ambushed) and in the end decided not to escalate it to legal and just basically told him to pack his things and get out.

So no legal after play and just a slap on the wrist
The whole list is a mess: for example disposable_email_blocklist.conf includes thrott.com while allowlist.conf includes spamgourmet.com. Both are services that are comparable to Firefox Relay.

I have a goal of reading 5 book pages every day. One might say that it does not matter whether you read 50 news articles or one book, but I feel greater satisfaction from reading a full book than from reading 50 articles.

Now it will be hosted on some other server as well (THE REAL DECENTRALIZED SERVER) but wrapped into some NFT, where they will sell each page - or even better - each square of the storyboard, coated into some fucked up story like:

"You can own a piece of a future TV Show based on this story board!"

And they will probably come out profiting because people will buy this illusion.

Edit: From a quick Google search there's around 3000 drawings, so 3000 NFTs at some absurd price that people will want for a piece of the pipe dream. They didn't even had to pay an artist or create a story this time around...

You're 19 - have you been working and getting paid for it for 1.5 years, or did you just start programming 1.5 years ago? If it's the latter, that's not experience.

Where do you live and what's the cost of a degree there?

Why software engineering and not computer science?

I really think it's worth it given that you're only 19 - you'll learn a lot, it will open many doors (especially if you go to a good university), and you'll get a chance to grow up a bit in your early 20s in an environment that you can't experience otherwise.

APKTool is amazing and have used it before to check the security on some apps. But it doesn't do much when it comes to apps made using flutter as the code is stored in a binary form. Wish if they consider adding a way to decompile that as well.
Korea-based, software engineer, working as a contractor for a company based in the USA, US Citizen married to Korea National.....

I arranged my setup with my company before I moved to Korea, and made an arrangement where we'd overlap during the Pacific Coast Afternoon (lines up with Korean Morning pretty well). For tax purposes, I changed my work status with the company from Full-Time employee to Contractor.

I'd say here are your concerns in no order:

1) Visa. This one is pretty easy if you and your fiancee marry. I am pretty sure you'd be eligible for a F-1 visa quite quickly.
2) Work. This one is trickier but still doable. I think your options are a) working out a more remote/time flexible arrangement with your current job, b) finding a remote-first job at a company that could support your hours and your residency concerns, c) becoming more of a freelancer that takes on work as it comes. If you are making a UK wage, Korea is not an expensive place to live.

Sorry that this comes at such a bad time for you. I hope this helps.

Related - the analysis on input latencies by Dan Luu https://danluu.com/input-lag/

No numbers are given for the C64, but the timing for the CBM4016 (with quite similar firmware/BASIC) should be similar. The Apple 2 input latency is even lower. Perhaps this is related to the fact that the Apple 2 firmware didn't use interrupts and polling might have been more efficient in this case.
Very fun game. There needs to be a golf mode where you get the right answer with the shortest selector just for fun!
Just got the email. It's not totally unexpected.

My guess is that this was a tactic to strongarm Visa into making a deal.
Ah damn, I didn't want the story to be over. That was a good read!
what a stupid misunderstanding and interpolation of it! Very few software is so accessible than suckless to anyone who wishes to use and fully understand it. Reading a source of 2000 lines is a comprehensible size indeed and there's no barrier. Quite the contrary: helpful manpages, web-browsable file trees and comments in the sources, mailinglist archives, tons of reviews in blogs and youtube, irc.
The Greek term here is "ἶρις κυκλόθεν"[1]. According to Liddell-Scott "ἶρις" ("iris") may not only mean specifically the rainbow, but "any bright-coloured circle surrounding another body"[2]. So the emphasis is not on the spectrum, but on the shape. A better translation would be: "and the throne was completely surrounded by an emerald circle."

It’s good for not introducing convoluted ideas that other state management libraries have been guilty of. You store some shit, and retrieve some shit. Sounds about right. The extra stuff is nice, but it doesn’t seem like the library is making you use schemas, and so on (especially when all most people want to do is store some values).

Now, if we can get some autocomplete going on with those schemas, that would would be great when inevitably the global store becomes a giant blob.
a[5] means "From array a, select element 5", and nobody has a problem with that. If anything, the English habit of describing things in little-endian fashion ("Take a fork from the drawer to the left of the sink in the large kitchen") adds a lot of cognitive overhead because you have to wait for the end to figure out your first step, and then reverse the order. A much more practical way of writing that would be "In the large kitchen, to the left of the sink, there's a drawer; take the fork from the drawer."

EC2 is not really low hanging fruit. Most expect to get a ipv4 when creating an instance and many relies on that. Cheaper instances with ipv6 only is probably coming
I thought tenure was supposed to protect you from getting fired over bs?

This intro was engaging and informative, which is exactly what professors should be doing during lectures.

For me the obvious take-away here is: post-secondary education is a dying institution, and is losing relevance precisely because they don't allow professors and students to have real opinions or discussions. There should be no controversy here. Eccentric professor is eccentric - how awful!
The right wing discourse is about advocating the replacement of existing democratic law in place of the vedic laws just like the olden days of pre british era. Vedas are the Hindu religious book that provides structure by which a society should be run by dividing people in to varna system(caste system).

India can never go back to vedic days, simply because there is no incentive for all Hindus. All Hindus are not the same in Hinduism. Vedic book advocates only a particular caste should have monopoly over education and only another to the right of having weapons, etc. This worked well prior to british colonilzation because people were not educated and could not see the big picture. That changed after the british rule and every one was given education which woke enough people to see the bigger picture of caste system.

The right wing advocates know that just with Hinduism they can not unite. They need another religion to hate and unite over that hate. This is where ISLAM comes in. Indian Muslims like the rest of the world can not take a joke on koran or Allah. This is very convenient for the right wing to spread hate and unite people over it. In contrast there is lot of atheist movement especially in South India where they can trash talk Hindu gods and their scriptures on public media at least for now. South India is more progressive and educated compared to North states.
Ask HN: Solving problems by mapping to other problems that we know how to solve
Is there a line of research that looks into solving difficult / intractable problems by finding a mapping that expresses them as different problems that we know how to solve?

A fairly surreal and probably overly optimistic example would be, for example, to solve traveling salesman problems using chess engines. What we would need is to find right mappings:
(1) from a traveling salesman problem to a chess position and,
(2) from a traveling salesman route to a chess move (or move sequence)

A general solution for a "compiler" that can translate between any pair of problems feels unrealistic but I can imagine developing a mapping between, say, a tic tac toe game and simple chess positions where you could:
(1) translate a tic tac toe position into a chess position
(2) solve the chess position
(3) translate the solution into a tic tac toe sequence

Any thoughts or pointers to relevant research would be much appreciated!

I used to use redux-orm which offered a similar promise. This library looks seems more mature and thought out, kudos!

My app is still alive and kicking and I ended up implementing many of the ideas here myself, in a less reusable fashion.
A primary motivator was that as the use cases evolve, a storage model optimized for application specific access patterns becomes compelling.

The convenience of having properly implemented relational semantics and performance enhancements of Indices is huge, but the risk of hitting assumptions that don't fit your use case is also non-trivial
It feels a bit weird to me to heavily mock and ridicule someone who thought they were doing something for public good.
No, so I basically did a sort of long bootcamp to learn C and C++. I have never worked in a company as a developer.

If I were to pursue a degree I would probably do it in Canada given I would like to get the permanent residency there.

Your latter point is definitely fair. The thing which makes me reconsider the university choice is the fact that my goal is to become a crypto developer (smart contract engineer) and I feel like university won't help much in that area. And 5 years is a lot of time which I could use to build a portfolio of projects in the crypto world. I may definitely be wrong here, though.
Yes this is my problem too. It breaks my add to watch later workflow.

The new QtQuick Compiler technology
Yes! I have actually thought about doing a different type of engineering degree.

But given my goal is to become a software engineer in the crypto space (specifically to become a smart contract developer), I'm not sure how studying mechanical engineering would help for example. That's why I have mostly been focusing on a software engineering / computer science degree.
I'm saying households would do that.

Not the government.
If the person who owned the book is the same as the bidder, or in cahoots, they can buy cryptocurrency with dirty money, buy the book at an inflated price, get ostensibly legitimate money back but have to pay the auction house a commission for the privilege. Since most of the crypto world does not do AML-KYC, it is a very attractive for money laundering, and I would say this is by design.

Ah, that's interesting.

They can't, of course, sell the images themselves; they don't hold the copyright. But they can sell URLs referring to the content.

That's pretty clever. I mean it's super dumb, but it's clever.

By that I mean that an NFT whose content is an URL to an image you don't own, is dumb. But it's clever to "mint" these, and you'll find more fools to buy the NFTs if you give the appearance of legitimacy.

In other words: They have no more rights to sell NFTs for the contents than I do, but they'll be more successful at implying to buyers that they do.

The most interesting thing about NFTs (and most blockchain tech) is the question "is this actually fraud, or is it merely stupid?". It's philosophy about the meaning of "fraud".
Is Interning for an Influencer Worth It?
From what I've seen, rent is comparable to London when you take things like location and access to the city center into account.

Agreed that restaurants and food are expensive. Selection is smaller than somewhere like London, but with a population 10x lower that's to be expected. Size-wise Zurich is more like Birmingham. If you take local cuisine differences into account I don't think it's that different.

Crime, taxes and pollution are also much lower. It really depends on your priorities.

Not at all wavelengths. An object of finite size and infinite temperature can produce all the wavelengths, but the probability of it generating, say visible light is really low approaching 0. So you can think about the relative number of visible photons you could observe and that gives you a color.

My gripe with this is that if our understanding of quantum mechanics and general relativity is correct there is a limit of temperature. When a photon has a wavelength equal or smaller than the Planck length said photon contains enough energy to create a black hole. So, the upper limit of temperature should be the point at which the generation of black holes dominates the spectrum.

I was once asked to complete some programming challenge type of test before an interview. I told the recruiter there was no way I would be doing that. They were, in their own words, stunned by this. I offered that I would happily do the same test on-site, where the people recruiting would be committing a commensurate amount of time to the process as I would be, but they were stuck with their process. I found a job somewhere else, which, being a developer, is incredibly easy.

I really wonder how this disconnect persists. Developers are more in demand than ever, yet companies still feel like they can pull hazing rituals and run-the-gauntlet challenges on potential hires.

Perhaps the hires that make it through this process are not, in fact, better than the rest, but simply more pliable and with less self esteem. Perhaps that is the point.

I think something like the Games Workshop/Warhammer 40k approach would work well here [1]. Lego has enough settings/worlds to hand off to different studios, and you have all the high-profile partnerships (like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel) that you can hand to the successful teams.

Lego Star Wars is fun, but is exactly the same game as all the other Lego tie-in games.
