I wondered that too, but isn't that pretty much what pistons are required to be anyway?

It seems like this thing could rev really high, since there's no herky-jerky motion.
>> The actual best developers mostly have little or nothing to point to on GitHub. You might find this shocking but many of them don't even know how to use Git at all.

It all goes in circles. As soon as Github (GIT in general) becomes adopted by the majority of enterprise (already happened probably) we are gonna see something else which is "cool". Something else, smaller, simpler, cooler gonna attract the next wave of programmers. I am sure there is a great space for innovation.

I wish it was a common practice to ban certain words from difficult conversations. But whenever I suggest it people just talk past me as though I've said some weird thing.

There's facts and opinions, but also definitions, and too often disagreements boil down to a different definition of a single word. Ban that word and say what you mean and the disagreement may suddenly be gone.

Edit: I wrote this before reading the second paragraph. :) I'll leave it as an alternate way of saying the same.

Let me ask, has anyone successfully "tabooed" certain words, or do people not understand the purpose of doing so?
> express a sincerely held belief in good faith

That's what Twitter is for? Seriously?
Yeah, most arguments against EVs that I've seen have to do with the battery (or range).

I'm with you about cars in general. They're never going away, though, so we might as well make the least impactful cars that we can.
> Anyone who paid attention to the Ebola outbreak in Africa a few years back, may remember that some viruses like Ebola can hide in parts of the body where the immune system can not go, namely the eyes and the testes and sometimes the brain, so they may have remembered that blokes testing negative for Ebola but previously had it, could still be passing it on through semen.

You might find this interesting, the "few years back" might be now again: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03901-9
To "have a flutter" is a pretty common phrase in Australia, and maybe the UK. A quick thrill and then it fades.
Viral vector vaccines are going to stimulate the innate and intrinsic immune system and you're going to get things like IL-6 release and apoptosis of the "infected" cells without generating any humoral repsonse to produce T-cells, B-cell and neutralizing antibodies.

mRNA vaccines are particularly useful because you can substitute bases with N1-methylpseudouridine which makes them identify as "self" by TLRs and doesn't generate counter-productive innate immune responses. You do need an adjuvant so that the cell produces more MHC displaying the antigen and attracts lymphocytes but the nanoparticle works to do that.

The result is a very small message payload to the immune system that targets the correct system. Viral vectors all have more "stuff" all over them which are going to trip other parts of the immune system (or cause side effects like the PF6 interaction with the Adenovirus capsid that is responsible for the rare clotting effects).
I was skeptical about removing dislikes at first. But the more I think about it, the more I admire the decision.

It's slightly inconveniencing the majority in order to protect the minority from harassment. If anything, it shows YouTube has the balls to do what's unpopular.
Regarding large binary assets, I literally Googled "git large binary assets" and had many hits with various solutions. GitHub started offering Git LFS (Large File Storage) in 2015 -- more than 6 years ago. That said, many places still use Perforce.
I moved from the UK quite a number of years ago, and whenever I return to my home town, there are steadily more shops like this -- often multiple agencies on the same street. More affluent areas get coffee shops and estate agents. Less affluent: betting shops, and lots of them.

This is some nonsense boomer propaganda to FUD against remote work.
I don't get how the UK has the tabloid culture while having a completely deranged legal system. Wouldn't anyone who has been in one be able to sue? Why does the USA have so much less(Obviously it has some) when their free speech laws are much tighter?

Game dev always seemed like a highly specialized thing to me. Performance critical, uses real math, lots of local instead of just server work, art assets...

I'm not saying everyone uses git, but it seems like there's probably not many people who have never had to learn it.

Especially when "knowing git" often means memorizing about 8 commands total if you're not on really big team.

When I pushed for a transition from no VCS at all to git, we couldn't use branches at first for fear that someone would need to access something and not be able to, if someone who actually knew git wasn't around.

Maybe their idea of "Can't use git" means "Can't use it well?"
Crypto in general has an edge case use as a payment mechanism of last resort in certain very limited circumstances - however Bitcoin isn't the one anyone should be using because it's public and transparent making anything you write up there prosecution futures. Not to mention the insane volatility, long transaction times, climate impact and high fees.

I mean, technically, there's always a possibility of getting HIV. Particles in your body could spontaneously quantum tunnel at the same time into the form of an HIV virus. This is basically impossible, but not actually (p = 0.00) impossible.

At some point you have to look at a probability and say - that's basically not transmissible.

Naïve question: would 3D scanning and metal/other 3D printing help you manufacture such parts by yourself?
Stupid idea: create artificial virus that spreads faster than natural one but without negative health effects.

Nobody would admit that, but that could potentially be most efficient way to combat a future global pandemic (assuming people keep sabotaging the system by not cooperating).
While I’m not in this exact situation, it’s why I’m waiting. I’m barely over the edge of this with enough that I could pull the trigger assuming I feel like completely changing my work life balance, commuting arrangements, social life, etc, in order to move a significant distance away in order to take advantage of lower property prices.

It’s obvious as someone living in an area where value is rising faster than peoples ability to save, that the crash will be quite dramatic in these areas in particular. While I don’t expect a 2/3rd crash across the entire property market, I do expect major price realignments well in excess of 25%
Why everyone wants to work at FAANG
That proverb holds a lot of truth.

I would add that treating the company's money as if it is your own also works quite well.

Never get too attached to a user story/task is another important lesson. Sometimes a task has to go, even though you disagree.

To OP I'd say that you should really try to rediscover the desire to learn.

That and being able to quickly locate related information for a task are two of my most important skills.
I'm not sure if you caught this or not, but I think the actual key to the story is that the child in the rear seat of the car and looking out the side window at the light for the stopped crossing traffic. Unfortunately for the anecdote, the "rear seat" part isn't mentioned until the 4th paragraph: "So I was in the back seat sitting next to Ben".

I think the issue is that in the US, all children below some age must be in a car seat, and in some US states, that car seat must be in the back of the car. The author presumed that by mentioning her son was 3 at the time, that her audience would automatically understand that he was in the rear of the car. Even as an American, I didn't.

I think it would make a better story if this was made explicit.
A lot of people are sharing their grids on Facebook or whatever. That's going to get old fast.
Have you ever tried to get standups or 1:1s to stop once started in a company with that culture? I have, more than once, and was never successful because people treat them like they’re necessary and my whole point is that they aren’t and to refute the article claiming they are unreasonably effective.
I work for General Motors and I occasionally do tours for employees. One of the cars I show is a 1950's era Pontiac Chieftain with an 4.4L inline 8 cylinder engine. It made about 120 horsepower. A modern, small-ish 1.4L inline 4 cylinder makes more horsepower.

A Beetle from the 50's might have 30-40 horsepower. You can pretty easily get cars with 10 times as much power now.

It is because everyone dies relatively quickly that you can ignore ultra low risks. Suppose your lifespan was potentially 1 trillion years, how low would your risk tolerance need to be?

Meanwhile doing some once a day with a 1 in 1,000,000,000 chance of possibility killing you in 40 years just isn’t worth considering.
What I find the most remarkable about this thing is that if you dismiss the spelling and the overall style of it, it is kind of valid political statement that some people could totally relate to. Which is to prove once more, that modern Britain or USA or whatever else is essentially no different from the demonized images of "totalitarian Russia" or Third Reich, NK... — pick your favorite. And it's pretty much always been like that, sometimes a bit colder, sometimes a bit hotter.
I have a friend who has HIV with a zero virus count.

Does anyone know if this will combat the latent virus?
The standard you are applying is literally not possible to imply anywhere.

Hell, an HIV viron could be created spontaneously through quantum tunneling in your body with some non-zero probability. I think it would be legitimate to triple equal signs that to "not going to happen" though.
Yes! It is all very interesting, but way too rough, IMHO.
Absolutely sounds plausible, but it seems odd to leave out another competing reasonable theory if the intent is to survey the various theories. Certainly they know stuff I don’t, though.

Ask HN: Minimum testable application to evaluate a stack?
Is there such a notion of minimum exhaustive application or a benchmark application that really tests what it's like to develop in a "stack" or programming language? One that is complex enough to cover real-world problems at scale.

In the ML world we have the notion of a benchmark dataset which we use to evaluate the performance of an ML model. (This approach has its own flaws.. models can potentially overfit on the benchmark data set)

After that you would need some criteria to evaluate the stack or programming language under consideration.

One response is to say "there are too many potential things to test, this is not possible" or you could go the other direction and say "pick your favorite CRUD app". But wondering if these things have been thought out in a way that there is some type of happy medium.
The publisher offered the content to the viewer at no cost, so why would the viewer be obligated to provide commercial consideration?

From the video, the first thing that could be called that promise was talking about the end of 2019 for a couple of years then, which he then scaled back to "quite likely" in 2021.

So he promised it for a couple of years and so far he's been off by about 2 years from the first "promise" shown in that video.

Talking about how 90% of highway miles could be done with driver assist is not a promise and it's not self-driving. Not sure why dishonesty is required to attack Musk, there's plenty of material available.

The "primer" step for car bodies after they've been welded is (typically) already a dunk tank. Hot dip galvanizing would only be a marginal increase in cost over that. You can't easily paint over that and people want cars in all sorts of colors and they last "long enough" as-is. Some smaller under-body assemblies are galvanized or zinc plated before paint.
Based on their reporting the past couple of years I wouldn’t be confident estimating the depth of their stupidity

Ask HN: Has Galvanize completely gutted the Hack Reactor brand?
I am in the current session of Hack Reactor. Galvanize has basically removed all Hack Reactor branding from the instructional content. Hack Reactor no longer offers any in-person courses or an SF campus.[1]
There appear to be about 30 students in the course, in the entire Western US (not just CA). They literally can't fill sessions. The internal Slack is completely dead.

Worst of all, the material so far hasn't been updated in at least 10 years, judging by the dates on the latest commits. We're learning early 2000's Doug Crockford-style JS. I wonder if the rest of the course material is like this, too.

The course still costs ~$20K.

Is Hack Reactor basically dead? Are there any Bay Area bootcamps that are a better deal and offer industry networking or employer contacts?

I have the opposite problem. When I was WFH I had time and energy to exercise, and generally eat healthy home cooked meals.

Now that I’m back to the office, between work and the horrible commute I am too exhausted to exercise, and I’m eating a lot of junk food again.

Lost 20lb in 2020-2021 WFH. Gained nearly all of it back now.
> No movie references in the clues if the answer is an actor?

I would welcome that. Let's leave the actors and athletes out of the crosswords.
> That had the second person in it,

It can have* the second person in it. It's up to the otherperson if they want to answer in with their motivation, or the team's motivation, or explain that they weren't told the motivation by <owning person/team>.

It gives me a lot of information about the person answering, and the problem at hand. For example, if it was a team motivation I can follow with "and what are your thoughts on it?". If it was "my motivation" I can follow with "and what does the team / <so and so> think of it?". If they don't know the motivation, I can follow with "Who can we talk to, to find the motivation?" help them learn this is an important part of being a great software engineer.

Anyways, it's just my preference, regardless if it "technically" has the second person in it. Your milage may vary.
This is already being addressed in thread but I’d like to share some “it depends” thoughts based on experience from recent experiments with WASM and N-API. As others here and elsewhere have said, it depends on:

- how compute-heavy your workload is

- how long it runs

- how much you need to pass data back and forth

That last point is hard to overstate. It’s such an overhead that “notoriously slow” (however outdated the notoriety) JS operations like structured clone run circles around highly optimized native-bridge/WASM data transport solutions.

It’s such an overhead that—for short bursty interop around values that can’t meaningfully benefit from being passed through—you have to write JS that might as well be native integer wrangling but has to be written in JS to reduce the cross-talk. That covers pretty much any workload that involves passing around JS functions as values, or preserving inheritance chains, or dynamic usage of functions generally.

I’m excited about WASM and other JS<->compiled interop, it has a bright future. But unless and until JS as a standard and JS VMs at runtime specifically provide ways to optimize crossing that boundary, the vast majority of already hard to optimize JS use cases are either better solved natively in general with minimal interop (where WASM et al will shine) or better solved by optimizing the JS implementation where the use case necessarily deals with JS functions.

Didn't an HN user create the ultimate "basic programming exercise" with a bingo card creator? It's never about how simple the implementation is, it's a mix of factors including timing, execution, luck, and finally, implementation.
If you feel that all of these meetings are significantly impacting your ability to deliver your work on-time, and your experience was shared by everyone on your team, that should have come out in a retrospective, and your team should have decided to scratch those useless meetings. If your team never had a space where you could discuss and act on things that you find to be disruptive, then that's exactly the reason why your manager needs to make sure you have that space. Or, if you did have that space, and you did share your feelings, and it turned out that you were unique and everyone else finds these regular meetings useful, then it might be worth thinking about why it is that you don't get anything out of these meetings but other people do. Then it might be worth speaking with your manager to see if the team - or the position - is a good fit for you.

The whole point of 1on1s and retrospectives is to optimize your work. If you literally only have these two meetings per week and you still find that unreasonably disruptive, then you could discuss dropping them to once a fortnight. If you still find those two meetings per fortnight unreasonably disruptive, and you really get absolutely zero benefit from them whatsoever, perhaps you should be working as an independent contractor and not a salaried employeee with a team of colleagues and a manager.

I do understand where you're coming from. I have had several direct reports who never had anything at all to say in their 1on1s, who had no interest in setting goals, no interest in advancing in the company, no interest in improving their workflow, who honestly just wanted to sit down, do the work, get paid, go home. That's fine, and it's useful to have some people on the team who want to work that way, but they really are a minority of people I have worked with in "normal" company environments. To be frank, I would prefer to work that way myself, but that's not really how most companies operate, because most companies are geared for growth, so it's not enough to just stay at the same level of productivity forever. The goal for most companies is to continuously improve and increase their output, forever. This is why most companies see value in having these meetings, because they are a way to focus employees on becoming ever more productive.

Not necessarily. At this point "toxic" as a term means anything offensive to someone. Its a useful definition if you wanted unlimited power to censor anyone you wish. Its not useful for the public. People don't benefit only hearing praise, agreements, and adulation.
I worked somewhere that was mostly remote. We hired an SRE, who was decent at their job, but there was always something off about them. Things like not being available when you would expect, but then would have reasonable explanations, but just a lot of coincidences to be happening to one person.

Early in their tenure, they said they had to go to Australia (from the US) due to a death in the family. However, someone saw that he tweeted from a bar in airport somewhere in the US, when he purported to be in Australia.

HR asked him to provide a death certificate "just for our records" and he provided a badly forged certificate, the inauthenticity of which was confirmed by a quick call to the agency that supposedly provided it.

It was all very strange and funny. Of course he was let go, and he just kind of said, "ok."
Further to the point, I would hazard that the majority of linux users don't use wine because its too complex to justify the effort. Very few users for this want to know how they would configure wine to do the same thing, they just want to 'run windows software and games on linux'.
