I was learning cgb programming for a little while. It’s challenging but so different from my day job that I found it refreshing. When I discovered GB Studio I became defeated. I felt that my skill was trivialized. Low-code/no-code won. I tried GB Studio but clicking everything together was not exciting to me. I understand that programming is only a means to an end but for me it is interesting. I considered switching to agb but I see a “studio” in development for that platform also.

I’m not hating on GB Studio. There have been great games created with it. I’m happy that more people are able to create games.

I’m glad I can still make money professionally with my programming skills… for now.
Nah, kids have the RasPi, Roblox and Minecraft. The future is bright, I'd argue. (This latest superponzi has nothing with to do with the kids.)
I worked on the problem of resume parsing for a year and a half. Pretrained language models helped us generate tons of Named Entity Recognition models that do a pretty decent job finding entities! This worked out pretty great for cities, names, businesses, universities. The real hard part is piping all the NERs to groupers that yield accurate groupings. Sometimes your NER misses a school but has a degree, related project descriptions and a graduation date. You have to re-run the NER on that area and make a best guess or give up. Lots of interesting applied NLP engineering problems there! I gave up though. If someone has more patience, I think this approach can really improve things.

They probably used to work. The HN beauty pageant 5th place winner+ used to write positively about them a decade or so back, and I'm pretty sure he knew how well it worked from a very well measured and proven experience:

Well don't know about the parent but you ruined my day.

Thing I keep coming back to is the proportion of effort you have to spend learning and keeping up with your tools vs the problem domain your working on. Feels like a big problem with C++ is how much energy the language itself uses up.

A friend of mine is, unlike me, really really smart. He likes golang and hates C++. And not like he hasn't spent years professionally writing C++ code. I think the advantage of golang is he can write it reflexively. So all of his attention is on the problem not the language.

Me I feel like the problem with C is not so much the language. It's that I'm always worried about stepping off a ledge. Things like defer would help. Because failing to clean up resources is a big problem with C.
> It's just insane that they could reverse engineer all of that in one or two seasons since they acquired gliders,

Again, they didn’t reverse engineer it. They retrofitted it. They are not the same thing and the latter requires massively less understanding of the hardware to achieve.

You’re other points about structural engineering, gravity, etc are valid but they could also easily be handwaved by saying “retrofitted Asgard systems”. Which is precisely what they did do in the show. In fact when they showed the Prometheus I too was like “how the fuck did you build that?” But then Sam Carter would say “it’s retrofitted with alien tech” (ie they didn’t engineer a lot of it. They ostensibly just built a nuclear submarine and bolted on some Asgard hardware to make it work in space).

If you watch it carefully you’ll see that there was a sharing of peaceful technology. It was weapons tech that SG1 couldn’t secure. The talk about Asgard hyper drives, teleports and all sorts. And for the first few space flights it was always the American tech that was failing, not the alien systems.

I do agree that there is still complexity even in retrofitting other peoples technology. However it is several orders of magnitude easier than reverse engineering it. The difference is like you buying a PC and writing an application to run on it vs designing a CPU, RAM, motherboard, storage, visual display unit, keyboard and mouse etc and then programming an operating system for your application to run on too.

But since aliens weren’t sharing weapons tech (and bare in mind upscaling a handheld energy weapon to spaceship proportions requires reverse engineering rather than retrofitting), Earth was required to learn how to build energy weapons from scratch.

> It's also perfectly fine to point out where that did go too far in a thread where we're explicitly discussing those missteps.

I didn’t say you are not allowed to point it out. I’m just saying any soft SciFi will fall apart under heavy scrutiny. The point we were making wasn’t that Stargate was hard SciFi but rather that the tech progression was better than your average popular SciFi. Sure there are going to be aspects that seem off but most shows fair far worse because they will just invent some amazing piece of tech to save the heroes - tech that should alter the entire dynamic of the show - yet then never mention that tech again after that one episode. SG1 never really fell into that trap (relatively speaking).
I think the key here is that e.g. surface information only grows at O(N²) rate whereas number of grid points scales as O(N³). The hash function approach means your arrays will be filled with detailed information densely, whereas sampling coarsely would still leave most of the array with "nothing here" information.

Your comment made me realize that I forgot to mention the multi-resolution aspect of their hash encoding (there are several data arrays corresponding to different resolutions - coarse ones are 1:1 indexed but finer ones have hash collisions for the network to deal with). It's in the title, but I should still include it.

Actually a lot of vendors care. In the past I’ve built Resume search engines using HRXML components. There are parsers, classifiers, viewers, search engines, and many other tools available for HRXML.

It’s a fairly well thought out spec in my opinion. Most issues I’ve run into have been from individuals that hate any use of XML and hastily convert the data to an ad hoc JSON format without thinking about why the XML is formatted the way it is. I presume this issue is why they created HR-JSON as a companion for uses where JSON is preferable.
My understanding of this is that the connectome itself wouldn't be sufficient to simulate human thinking.

If I understand correctly the connectome would basically be a map of each neuron to its connections, somewhat like a wiring diagram. However, I've heard that it's more realistic to regard each neuron as being more like a computer rather than a wire. Neurons have a lot of state to be accounted for, for example methylated groups controlling the expression of DNA and the resulting amounts and types of various receptors which would influence their control.
So what? You're looking at it one job at a time, and for any one given job it might indeed suck. But collectively, the times when you're unfairly tossed out are balanced by the times when other people are, and you benefit from being in a smaller pool. If you spell it "nodejs," surely some HR person somewhere does too.

It's random, and not based on any job-relevant differences, for sure. But hiring is always going to be pretty random so long as we're pretty bad at predicting who'll be good at any given job. So long as there's no systemic bias, it's fine, and selection by idiosyncratic spelling is at least much less biased than a lot of other irrelevant criteria that get used in hiring.
At least a third of spam registrations on a platform I run come from Gmail addresses, with another third from yandex and yahoo. They also all went away after we implemented a nearly trivial captcha in the registration flow.

Seems to me that 1) Gmail accounts aren't that hard to farm 2) most spam comes from free webmail providers not disposable email and 3) a captcha will solve most of your problems and if it doesn't, it means your site is being specifically targeted by someone with cash to burn, so you can assume that they'll have emails that aren't on the blacklist. At that point, invest in detection and moderation.
For me, it's 2 big reasons.

1) Dealing with climbing the corporate ladder, covering your ass from backstabbers, and all sorts of company politics are bad enough to deal with in fairly small companies where you might have a handful of business relationships to deal with, let alone in mega-corporations where you might be working in one small project department with dozens and dozens of people and several layers of managers.

2) Big companies have essentially become centers for identity politics, not sitting down and writing code and solving creative problems. Somehow good things like being kind to all and treating everybody as you'd want to be treated have morphed into (mostly people who have infiltrated HR departments) preaching anti-whiteness and anti-male hatred. I do some consulting for companies and have been put on a handful of their internal mailing lists so I directly see what kind of racist filth goes out to the actual employees.
Often carriers aren't responsible for lost goods. It's the shippers responsibility to purchase insurance for the items they send. It's a massive conflict if interest because the carrier has little incentive to improve security because they are not directly bearing the cost of lost or damages goods.
One of those pdf-to-docx online converters would’ve probably been good enough for this.

How do you feel about the Windows official package manager, winget? I find it a lot more polished and usable than Chocolatey was, and didn't notice much difference compared to apt or dnf, but admittedly my experience is limited and I haven't done much complex with any of the four.
Yeah, I remember the times where 486 servers were quite normal. On the other hand, most users were on dialup and unlikely to cause serious trouble.
No, none of them are vaccinated.
> That's very nice to think about but in the real world if people don't match some exact keywords they get thrown away. HR is looking for "node.js" but you wrote it like "nodejs"? Though luck pal, bye. HR wants a "computer scientist" but you have a degree in "computer science"? Same, automatically discarded

I'm sure this happened somewhere at some point in time, but IMO it's becoming a myth blown out of proportion.

I've never actually worked at a tech company that had any sort of automatic resume filtering software. As a hiring manager, we didn't even have HR pre-screening resumes for us. If we did have recruiters, they were competent and incentivized to find good candidates (e.g. wouldn't be unnecessarily rejecting good candidates because they were missing exact spellings of keywords)

It would seem ludicrous in 2022 and this hiring crunch for a tech company (one that you'd actually want to work for) to arbitrarily filter out resumes based on incomplete keyword searching.
Some people do add an emoji in their name on linkedIn to know whether they are being contacted by someone who read the page, or by a bot.
That's a practical example on why we are so prone to associate "HR people" to "HR drones"!

They are. I had an Amiga, and would have said the same to any ST owner I met, when I was trying to pick a fight :)
At what frequency? At lower frequencies, you can go higher power, as more of the radiation passes through you instead of warming you up.

What if the blue checking organization becomes politicized and rejects your resume for arbitrary reasons?
> If resumes could be standardized and easily searchable for information it would help find candidates much more accurately and quickly without having to read.

I see how that can be useful from the recruiting side of the table, but fail to see how the candidate benefits.
I had an Amiga until the PC finally surpassed it, which took... 11 years?
"Another programming language" cannot even meaningfully exist if all programming languages are forced to have the same feature set. Should Python get C-like low-level pointer manipulation so that Python users don't need to "pull in another programming language" of C to do pointer manipulation?

C doesn't need "defer" because C programmers have managed since the 1970s to implement operating systems, compilers, interpreters, editors, etc., just fine without it. Those who want a bigger C can use C++, this pond is big enough for two fish.
Thanks!

It is an old story. I was doing some reading to try to get into the head of somebody who'd been involved with the art world and came across

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Painted_Word

which was a cynical take from 1975.
> Spam fighting existed long before a 2003 US law.

So then it wasn't originally defined as per your preferred legal wording, now was it?

> RBLs came into being in 1997, Spamhaus in 1998.

And did they coin the expression, or was the concept itself around long before that...? (A: AFAIK, at least a decade earlier.)

> You'll note precisely none of these organizations (in any country) blacklisting Amazon, or any other company, because they send marketing emails to their existing customers.

Ah. So it's not actually the legal definition that is important, but the corporate one. OK, gotcha, that is of course so much better. (Blindingly obvious: /s)

A cover letter is a screen too.

A cover letter is a kind of writing contest, or maybe it's perceived that way by a candidate. Writing about yourself can be stressful.

I'm not saying not to, ask for a cover letter. Just saying that this stuff is nuanced. Standardisation is great when you want very low friction. Job applications aren't frictionless, probably can't/shouldn't be. Some copy paste fields might be inelegant, but it's not changing the friction equation by much.
Somewhat a large strawman to go from “1% owns 92%” and “you just want idealistic purity”. And also “not decentralized” to “worthless”.

I thought this was supposed to liberate us from problems of the current financial system?

Decentralization of Bitcoin can be understood in a variety of ways.

1) To make forward progress: it is extremely centralized, all transactions in the world must go through a miner

2) In terms of concentration of ownership and effect on price: highly centralized, again

3) In terms of mining pools: once again, highly centralized

What exactly is the lure?
iOS nothing to do with macOS, other than sharing the kernel, which isn't UNIX to start with.

Additionally, iOS only supports a subset of UNIX.

Finally it is impossible to ship an iOS application only using the POSIX subset exposed in OS.

How many iOS apps have your ever shipped?
None of these are personality traits IMO, they're more rules/guidelines.

I don't think psychology has ever ruled on personality being immutable either. I mean, if you're reluctant to change, you probably won't do. But wanting to change is surely at least half the battle!
Why use MathJax and not KaTeX, which is lighter and can be pre-rendered?
That will be good to see what the physiotherapist thinks.

In the meantime, you could consider a topical NSAID gel like diclofenac (over the counter in some countries, or "ask your doctor if diclofenac is right for you" in the US) to address pain and inflammation.
I agree with a lot of your points, but the source of the confusion is Tesla.

They can make things much more clear and take the marketing hit, but they choose not to do so.
I don'get this list. It just seems to be about being explicitly hostile towards users.

Any useful disposable email service will only allow *receiving* emails. As a user this protects me against possible bad actors that for some reason need me to give out my email to them.

Any service allowing *sending out* mail from their mailservers will quickly find their mailservers blocked - this is also list based. A common one being spamhaus.org .
The way firefox relay solves this is by only allowing to *reply* to mails you have received, and I assume they have some rate-limiting in place as well.

This is really just about making life harder, and forcing people into using an emailaddress as their identity token, which seems all sort of wrong.

Next someone will block mailservices that allow + adressing or other kinds of alias systems ?
They did replicate Zat tech actually. They used them for training exercises. I’d mentioned this the first time you raised that point too.
Because résumés are subjective bullshit.

Also, once you start engineering a data format for résumés you are going to feel like you want a UUID for every company, university, organizational unit and position. Then some sort of weight they have in valuation of a candidate experience. Then...

My opinion is we don't need résumés at all. I mean they can probably be replaced with a 4-step process: an on-line choose-right test, then a test task, then an interview with an HR specialist who can evaluate the candidate's overall adequacy and then an interview with a specialist experienced in the actual job. I even suspect résumés are harmful.
One of the particular issues I recall hearing someone talk about with XMPP is that it uses XML in a way that makes it hard to use existing libraries--I believe XMPP basically relies on an unclosed XML document that keeps getting appended to, so you need to have strong partial parsing guarantees that's unusual for XML formats.
They also work really hard to keep it from getting into the news.
I'm not sure if I'd mind that. If HR is made up of robots that stupid, that sounds like a terrible company to work for.

A standard format wouldn't solve the problems you described. There's no comprehensive list of frameworks and programming languages, let alone for types of experience outside computer science. The data would be structured, but HR would still throw out the bits of data that need to be filled in manually.
American Airlines gave its workers a raise. Wall Street freaked out (2017)
The growing disconnect between the person's decisions and their economic output. Imagine you wake up at 10am and make $1K, and your neighbor wakes up at 6am and makes $2K. You could be happy with it (extra $1K not worth 4 lost hours of sleep) or could force yourself to wake up at 6am as well, or would find some compromise in between. The main thing is that if you yourself pick the tradeoff between the level of inconvenience and the pay.

On the other hand, if your neighbor makes $500, while you make $450 regardless of when you wake up, you'll be extremely irritated by the unfairness. And would not notice that your employer makes $750 off each of you, while you are busy quarreling about who's more privileged.

Most of the jobs in the cities are just that - standard work routine, standard pay, little room for decisions, little growth, little personal responsibility, little chance becoming financially independent. Brought to you by low interest rates fueling endless acquisitions and consolidation of bargaining power in fewer and fewer hands.

2008 was the end of the previous economic cycle where the big players got too greedy and too dumb, made stupid decisions with big money, and were destined to crash and burn, allowing the new wave of smaller companies to take their place. But the government decided that too much was at stake, and just bailed them out.

Around 2012 people started noticing that something is wrong, which took the rather silly form of Occupy Wall Street. The corporate response to it was shifting of the focus to social justice and equity - term that was supposed to take into account historical inequalities, but is so loose and unquantifiable, that every person would see it slightly differently, creating endless opportunity for division.

So now we have an entire generation that does not aspire wealth through personal responsibility and hard work, but rather blames someone else on having an unfair advantage and is dreaming of taking it away. That's how 3rd-world countries and dictatorships function. People are busy fighting over the leftovers from the feast left by the ruling class, and feel accomplished when they manage to steal the extra bag of potatoes their neighbor was hiding under the stairs.
It seems like a video output isn’t as much a priority. I’ve been looking at creating a raspberry pie powered arcade machine and I need it to be 100% reliable. A user land implementation seems like a good compromise over a bare metal application.
