... and why you stopped using it?

The main reason I've stopped using it is because others have stopped using it in favor of more modern alternatives. One hand clapping doesn't make much noise and gets a little boring.

It was designed for use from a command line. Various client apps have tried to put a happy GUI face on it but you still need to drop to the command line on occasion.

It's like trying to convince people to use Linux on the desktop. Experience shows that less than 2% will ultimately do it.
I’m a UI designer/graphic designer/photographer who has had a Mac since 1994. (And I’m not even 40 yet.) ColorSync just popped out at me as one of those “I am not shocked something from the Classic days is causing issues.”
I don't know if such a thing is feasible to build. The other problem with cigarette filters is that they fill up with toxic chemicals. And unfortunately most "biodegradable" things still take a long time to degrade. It does not solve the littering problem, if anything it seems as though it would encourage littering? I don't want litter outside.
The more I read about Facebook, the happier I am I just abandoned it.
I am talking about my own time and resources, not those of a computer - say, it might take ~one hour to come up with a solution for problem x. It might very well be not the best solution either, just the one that works okay (we've all been there). Or I could look up what other people have done in 2 minutes - say I'm comparing solutions too, that would make it 10 minutes. That's 50 minutes of work I can spend elsewhere. Much more efficient.
I'm surprised that someone who couldn't say what type a python expression returns could do well on "show me things you've built", "tell me how this function you built works". Do you have an expalanation/guess? Were they giving you rehearsed answers to specific code that, well, they didn't necessarily actually build themselves?
There is one recommendation there I find a bit questionable and thats encryption. If you are out of options and restoring from tape, might be better to have it uncompressed and not encrypted. Its possible, after some physical disaster that you are on somebody elses infrastructure and having some encryption on your data doubles the problems you might have.

I use an ancient LTO2 drive for last resort backups that are off cloud and off premises. Its more peace of mind than practical on a daily basis but I did find myself restoring a few files a couple of weeks ago as I had fat fingered an rm command. It was quicker than getting them from S3 glacier.
Pwntools is a CTF framework and exploit development library
I only look for jobs at small companies and my preferred places to look are the HN’s “Who is hiring?” thread and Angellist. My last 3 jobs came from these two sources.
Yeah, this caught my eye as well. Anyone who grew up getting these enormous tomes on their doorstep knows that the white pages were for looking up girls you liked, and the yellow pages were for pizza.
> I’ve been a software engineer and now architect for 15 years. Studying leetcode like problems won’t help me at my current job or a future employer once I get past their interview processes.

Perhaps. I've been building software for over 30 years and I still find that I learn a lot when I practice and push myself to work quickly and efficiently.

> If you haven’t seen a particular problem before or had time to research it, it’s unrealistic to expect a candidate to solve it in twenty minutes in a high pressure situation.

Someone just slipped a bug into production. We now have $12,399 per minute in transactions that will not be processed. CEO needs a report for a board meeting in 20 minutes. Junior dev didn't show up and four team members were waiting for the commit he was supposed to have in yesterday. Dealing with high pressure problem solving is really every day, and practicing against the clock is a great way to learn to be calm and focused when it matters.

> For example, I work 50+ hours a week with two kids and a parent with cancer.

So sorry that you are dealing with cancer in your family's life. Cancer sucks.
I'm guessing it's a bit of both, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

I'm a white male, so it's relatively easy to convince people to take me seriously. That isn't a great situation, but noone expects me to downplay that to make things more fair.

She has a harder time being taken seriously (as evidenced by the MAKE story), but she's attractive which makes her videos more interesting. I don't think you can blame her for using advantages.

From what I've seen of her, she does seem to enjoy being dressed nicely, so I don't think she's only doing it to get views.
USA: Hold my beer.
That’s not how decisions work. I don’t think Neil demanding them pick me (or else I voluntarily remove my library) or him (him having a contract) is really a decision.

Or maybe they did have some decision in this, but most of the decision belonged to Neil, not Spotify.
Just a funny thought exercise I did recently - I looked at our sizeable kubernetes cluster of 30ish VMs, and added up the core counts. It added up to 98. You can easily get a box that has this many (or more) cores. I wouldn't be surprised if our cloud provider analyzed the topology of the connections, and decided to put the whole thing on the same server.
Well I heard smokers in some parts of the world carry a little jar in their pocket where they store their butts. I don't think you can blame the cities for citizen laziness? Seems more of a cultural problem.
I'm not up to date on this stuff (or who you even asked), but I think that situation might be helpful for someone trying to figure out leaving/return patterns for a street/neighborhood
I can attest to this. I have met quite a few 'transient' coworkers who join the org for 6 months. They then use that money to go away to their actual pursuits for 6 months (sometimes 2 years). One of them went on a bicycle from London to Beijing. Another went on a 'back of the truck' tour of South America. They are competent enough at our job (software dev) to drop back in when they feel like, and orgs are happy to have them back, but it's not their passion, just a means of support.
Trick question, they will not have empathy for you either way.

The paradox of tolerance is not a novel idea, and people from Plato to Popper have chewed through it, and it is pretty much incontrovertible by now that the only way that a society can remain open and tolerant is to not tolerate intolerance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance
I can’t believe society has a lot of losers like this. It checks every losers boxes out there. Meme comes to life.
Best guess is someone else did the work and explained it to them.
Yes great point.
> You're saying that even if you didn't graduate from a top school, you don't have significant experience, or you're older, they'll hire you if you do really well on the puzzle stuff?

I can't generalise to all the teams and companies, but this was my experience, and I've seen some similar profiles around me. I suppose if you really check all the wrong boxes, it may be hard to land an interview, but once you're in the process, you have a shot just like anybody else and it really boils down at how well you do at the leedcode questions. Concerning diversity, interviewers are trained to avoid common biases on gender, age, and recruiters have incentives to interview people from minorities. I would say that if you come from a minority, you are at an advantage and you're more likely to get an interview.

What is clear, is that not everybody graduated from top schools. There are plenty of SWEs coming from developing countries. Older people are more rare. I was hired at 45, and the bar was a bit higher as they wouldn't hire me below a certain level. I've also heard stories of people hired at 55.. so there's hope.

If you're unwilling to relocate, you may be able to remote work from a different country. This depends on the company and the role, and which country you want to remote from, but it's doable.

To me, the main issue with leetcode is that it's not transferable kills. It may be very frustrating to spend 100s of hours doing these problems and not being able to land a job in the end.
If I was going alone I would definitely seek a smaller boat, I spent quite a bit of time on a Moody 34 as a kid and that would make a great liveaboard for a single person or a couple I think. I'm going to be living with friends from my old uni's sailing club so the extra space might justify the extra cost, although as you say the tradeoff between space and safety is a vital one and it won't be a decision taken lightly. Serious ocean crossings won't be on the table initially too which will help, we'll mainly be sticking to our native Britain at first and then venturing into longer passages once we're confident in the boat. Obviously it'll depend on what's on the market when I'm ready to buy too, but I'm in no hurry and can wait for the right one to come along.
I am also worried for the long-term. If there are new generations so frequently and backwards compatibility is limited or not guaranteed, I ponder if you'd be able to find a working-condition tape reader for your 20-year old tape...

At least it's likely I can find a USB port 20 years from now, or a DVD reader (they are still being manufactured today, when even more than 20 years have passed since their introduction, and they are even compatible with much older CDs...).
Probably a bit unfair. They were early to the market and met all the usual UK Govt. paper-firewall rules well before the hyperscalers were viable options. It's just they haven't found a good fit in between the global forces of G.A.A and the legacy Fujitsu datacentre style approach and the Govt. has become somewhat more pragmatic over cloud for many workloads.
01996, but I started programming in 01980. The interview where I was interviewing the sysadmin candidate was in 02004.

> Honest question: is blatant disinformation freedom of expression?

Honest and open discussion is not disinformation, by definition.
And also impossible to buy in Brazil.
So for a while,, I will still have to relly on thinkpads.
I see. I completely agree.
What was actually ignored at that comparison is energy costs. Which can get quite somewhere, if you have all your disks running 24/7 and do not use power saving functions (which is frequently turned off in server contexts). Costs are in the ballpark of 5W per drive, given a contemprary 16TB drive this means 0.3W/TB, with 0.25EUR/kWh (a typical consumer price in Germany), this is roughly 0.6 EUR per TB per year. However, probably the replacement costs for these always-on disk drives will be even higher.
Computer. Web based, copy/paste enabled, no cheat tracking. So in short we let them use an IDE, cheat and copy/paste and they still flunk it.
>Considering something like body dysmorphia (as an example) might help give someone benefit of doubt. I'm not going to pretend to understand exactly why someone feels that way.

Yes, it is something like that. But it's bullshit for me to dance around it and expect some sort of grace. I will say something.
It's funny that the tone some of the Rogan proponents take seems to turn some of the discussion here sour by being so confrontational, though the negativity towards Rogan is repeatedly backed up by some lackluster proof, and seems similarly ideological.
He's never claimed to be authoritative about anything besides MMA and comedy. He has long form discussions where he expresses opinions. Calling him dangerous because he's willing to discuss important topics with a wide range of people... it's like saying people shouldn't discuss things they aren't experts on in general, maybe? And further, it's saying you have the authority to denote what makes an expert (it's not being an MD, doctors disagree with each other sometimes).

If I'm not a doctor, and suggest some medicinal treatment to a good friend that does more harm than good, am I responsible? I'd argue possibly. If I'm saying I'm an idiot about this topic every couple of hours, I'd argue not. I'm not claiming expertise. Even if I've read some articles and I say as much, my friends know me, I don't posture, I don't know shit. I expect them to be responsible enough to act accordingly.
Broadcasters have some level of responsibility. I don't know how much that should be or how it should be enforced. I think this might need to be done on the individual level, in your own discussions and considerations.

I just think it's silly when people claim to know the truth and try to silence people, even if it seems clear to you what's correct. I think it pushes everyone into their own sides further. We're not at war with each other and we don't want to be. Be chill, question people with honest and positive curiosity, and be friendly. Maybe you'll bring someone to a more reasonable side, or maybe you'll figure out you're being the unreasonable one. Sometimes people don't bite, but if you try you've done your part.
Breasts are a secodary sex organ. And i dont know how you prefer your intercourse, but i happily fondle with the breasts of my wife during sex. If you break down sex to just reproduction, ofc they are only needed to feed the baby. But culturally the are sexual organs and erotic. So its normal in my (european) culture to hide breasts (at least the nipples) from public.

Edit: I would like to add that its not okay to demonetize Naomi Wus 3D Bust Video. Thats another discussion and i think we are on par here.
Is amatter of time before someone provide a keyboard with one.
> and at least a couple more drives for reading tapes.

Why?
Freshly cooked rice smells different than the "expired" ones. You can give it a smell after it has completely cold, if after a few days it starts to small odd, then probably don't eat it.

A rice cooker can usually finish cooking in less than 30 minutes completely automatically, so it's not really worth the risk anyway.
But surely Swedish smokers don't chuck 55% of their butts into the environment.
Ken and Roberta Williams (of Sierra fame) spend most of their time sailing around the world, and blog about the experience: https://www.kensblog.com/blog-2/.

Blogs like these convinced me to start doing my yachtmaster qualifications. We're a good 15 years away from all the kids moving out but I can think of much worse ways to spend retirement.
This is it, i think. Note taking can somehow lately sound like a weird tech fetish but it's just about how to write. For millenia we only had one way to write, and we were pretty obsessed. Now we've got more options, and we're exploring them, but we're no more obsessed with information capture now than, say, the Roman emperor Constantine was.

Yes agreed. I had a single good experience with Upwork as well, but I probably spent more time sifting through the crap beforehand than I actually spent on the task itself, and the platform couldn't even handle charging VAT properly.
It honestly seems to have gotten worse over the past several years. I don't know exactly when it started, but I've noticed a distinct dip in the quality of conversations here. I don't know if it is HN specific, but I think it is an overall societal increase in people that are stuck in information bubbles, like all of us, but when they find they are in an information bubble, they don't care. They obstinately refuse to get out of their bubble.
I don't know, I already find Catalina way too buggy for my taste. I expect this to only get worse with later OSs, as it happened time and again in the past several years. I'll hold off on upgrading until it's absolutely unavoidable.
Taxing seems to work fine on other products, even including people shopping elsewhere, for example with soda : https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Papers.cfm?abstract_id=3302335

> We find the tax is passed through at an average rate of 97%, leading to a 34% price increase. Demand in the taxed area decreases by 46% in response to the tax. A large amount of cross-shopping to stores outside of Philadelphia offsets more than half of the reduction in sales in the city and decreases the net reduction in sales of taxed beverages to only 22%.

You might be against taxing for ideological reason, or maybe you have other arguments than "it's a bad idea" and I'm open to hearing them, but so far it seems like a good idea.
Gotcha appreciate the clarification. Yeah that's an important distinction between violating some norm regarding how "modest" women are required to be and the overtly violent nature of sexual harassment by men.
Hey uh

is that a DECTape?
About content, I love watch the videos of Erik Aanderaa (https://www.youtube.com/user/kjolevannspumpe) from NO BULLSHIT JUST SAILING.

He sail across the North Atlantic ocean in some wild conditions.
>“We don’t have a misinformation problem,” Larson said. “We have a trust problem.”

How much 'misinformation' ended up being true? Some things very rapidly was labelled misinformation.

How much 'truth' ended up being misinformation?

Let's say hypothetically covid disappears and a new virus starts spreading that is actually as bad as the spanish flu. The consequences of all the lying by politicians means we're nowhere near prepared for it.
How is he more dangerous than corporate media interests?

Also, this usage of the word danger puts a bad taste in my mouth. I really struggle to agree that a podcaster is dangerous, even to the public good, just by his exercise of free speech.
Hold on. Naomi Wu is not demonetized. A video that Naomi Wu created was demonetized, or as YouTube puts it, found to not be suitable for all advertisers.

Creating content on YouTube has been my full-time job for nearly four years. There is a HUGE difference between a channel being kicked out of the Partner Program and a video being 'demonetized.' (Namely, that in the latter case, all of your other videos, past and future, can still earn revenue.)

Has any research been produced around animals in general that live this long? IE: what about their genetics/life encourages this longevity?
I'd go as far as to say that by 1990 post-Operation Sundevil etc, this was considered common wisdom, and such people with great skill who never got arrested were the rule, not the exception. People pulled off fantastic things, but refused to do silly stuff like join groups or write about their exploits in G-philez, or even use the same alias on two forums (let alone doing anything from their house). You might have met up with them on an Alliance Teleconference or QSD once in awhile, but never at the 2600 meetup at the mall. These people tended to make it well into adulthood and lead rewarding lives, all without ever becoming a pushpin with pieces of yard tied to it on some Secret Service agent's cubicle wall. Of course, it doesn't make you as famous as an Esquire article does. But also, handcuffs hurt.

This is still true today, and of more hunted groups than just hackers.
thanks for the advice. I could use these questions to get some inkling of the research area.
'Joe Danger' crashing back into iOS after appeal from parent of autistic child
Redis doesn't guarantee that expiry happens exactly at expiry time ([1] gives up to a 1 millisecond delay), so if your system assumes that all related keys are removed at exactly the same time it is still broken (although the race window is now tighter).

Maybe you could store the related keys in a hash or something?

I'm also guilty of trying to use features in redis in ways they weren't really designed for - it's such a fantastic bit of technology that a lot of the time you can still get away with it but it's not redis's fault when it doesn't work!

I disagree. The difference between 31’ and 45’ is huge. 45’ will give you a much more comfortable ride and is safer in rough weather. Of course with both you want a blue ocean capable sailboat and not a coastal cruiser.
The purpose of the shell is to allow users to interact with the grid. You can't do this in a conventional OS shell. Example: if you are using /bin/sh on linux-host-a and want to affect something running on linux-host-b, you can't. In a SSI shell, you can affect resources from a set of machines from a single shell.

You could offer something like shell scripting on that, but my system did not and there are better options. For example: have the resource manager expose a command that offers a DSL for making system-wide changes.
This is part of a wider suite of tools developed and run by the Government Digital Service including Notify (lets you send texts, letters and emails, https://www.notifications.service.gov.uk/) and Pay (lets you take inbound payments quickly, https://www.payments.service.gov.uk/).
As someone who prefers constructs like map, reduce, etc to loops this is a key example of why it’s important to a) ask why the candidate went that route and have a conversation about pros and cons and b) recognize that this is one of those no right answer opinion things and not hold it against them if they think different than you

Mind you I’m talking in general and now in browser specifically
The latest release of Motor Admin includes automatic DB schema reload feature.
So now all change in Supabase schema are automatically applied to the Motor Admin panel.
It means that Motor Admin now works perfectly with Supabase and can be used to build complex admin UIs for internal users.
I agree somewhat. Encryption is more critical on tape because there is no easy path to wiping a tape, and in a company situation if you need to erase something in your backups too (think GDPR erasure), then encryption is reasonably critical unless you want to go though all of your cold backups.

For my archival use (the reason why I got into this in the first place) I do not encrypt nor compress the data going to tape. For server/desktop backups. they are compressed and encrypted.
> It definitely doesn't take 500 leetcode problems.

I'd say it depends on many things. What level are you applying to. And also, how well you perform in situation of stress. And of course, in the end, it's a competition. If the other applicant can solve problems faster than you, they'll get the job and you won't.

For me the hard part wasn't solving the problem, but solving them in 15 minutes. At Google, 2/3 problems I got were hard and not medium. There would be no chance that I solved any of them if I hadn't seen them before.
Does everything still work that used to work on Mojave? Any changes in bugginess?
Thank you for the nice exchange and learning opportunity though :)
I notice that he talks alot about dealing with malfunctioning drives and malfunctioning tapes.

That is my experience too. There is that time I got kicked out of the computer lab as an undergraduate because I'd created a number of newsgroups and they 'wrote' all my files... to what turned out to be an empty SunTape. That time I tried to recover a configuration file from an IBM tape robot and it took 14 hours. When I was successful with tape I always did a lot of practicing and testing. A sysadmin who taught me a lot (esp. how to get things done in a place where you need 'social engineering' to get things done) told me "you don't have a backup plan until you've tested it" and many people learned that the hard way.
