The 2008-ish recession saw the Fed pay banks to keep money off the market. No wonder that economic activity remained sluggish.

For the 2020 recession, you had the Fed drop reserve requirements for bank, and move to average inflation targeting, and in general move much more aggressively.

See also Japan: since the 1990s they had a long history of fiscal stimulus and monetary tightness. When Abe came to power a few years ago, he loosened monetary policy, and the Japanese nominal GDP started to grow again.
I agree. It's very jarring to me, coming across as insincere and faux-friendly. The sort of thing Mark Zuckerberg says in every product PR vid.

Another content here says that they'd say "great question" genuinely, which I don't doubt. And that's the problem, fakers have hijacked such phrases and mannerisms.

I also suspect it's a mannerism that's more common in some nations than others. In the US, conversations often seem overly polite to me e.g. the infamous "have a nice day", particularly in corporate settings. There's nothing exactly _wrong_ with that, it just comes across to me as insincere sometimes. I'd rather have an honest conversation, which can of course still be polite, while avoiding apparent insincerity. Cultural differences are subtle and profound! :)

Hmm.... thinking aloud... I don't speak Japanese, but if I could, I wonder if I'd find their famously uber-polite business-speak mannerisms jarring too?
So this is ART actually?
This is a well know issue though. For client work there's just no way that clients don't want to have an Admin user for themselves, in case you part ways etc...
Which is absolutely fair.
The problem is when the intern forgets its password and instead of resetting it, they get the admin credentials from their boss (been there, done that!).

Well sure, there’s always a few whose random area of interest might land on microbiology. Most career developers I know are autodidactic obsessives who have no trouble finding fascinating rabbit holes to crawl down. Then life advances, gates close, time gets constrained and you have to pick your passions in life because you can’t do them all.

I tried to use the word “likely” to avoid these points being perceived as absolute laws. I think it’s simply less likely that any random programmer will have motivation to learn microbiology than it is for a microbiologist to learn some programming techniques.

The microbiologist may be compelled by functional requirements for their job to learn some coding while the programmer, unless working on business problems in that domain, would never be professionally compelled to learn microbiology to reinforce their profession aims.

Talk about click-bait titles!

Look at their definition of lockdown. It includes all forms of non-pharmaceutical intervention. This includes border closures, shelter in place, and everything else that was tried in one big “lockdown” category.

The same study found that limiting indoor public meetings (bars, etc) WAS effective. But, thats
just a subset of “lockdowns”.

The US did not lose the war against the VC, they stopped supporting south vietnam's war against the VC and withdrew because the war became unpopular. The distinction is important because ultimately it wasn't America's war and the VC did not overwhelm the US military into surrender. It was the civilian government of the US that directed an end of their involvement. If anything, China won a cold war against the US who feared a direct conflict and caved in.

With Afghanistan, the war against the taliban government was won 15+ years ago. The US thought it could play nation-builder like with Japan. The continued involvement in afghanistan was part of the ongoing "war against terror" to reduce the chance of afghanistan becoming a heaven for terrorists again. The war against afghanistan was won, what the US lost was a prolonged occupation. If you look at history, the victor would more or less burn the invaded country to the ground and enslave its people to avoid similar long term issues, one can argue it was both self-interest and an ideology of being humane to civilians that resulted in the waste of post-war afghanistan occupation.

Regarding metrics, I am fighting this right now. I found out what is expected of me early on and worked to extract that value out of myself and support my team but in the end my struggle is being able to explain metrics that reflect a years worth of work that only capture at best 30% of what is expected of me. Either way, can't complain, management isn't easy but meeting metrics is. what I dislike is if I have good metrics and stop there, it isn't enough. Metrics will always set a maximum ceiling on quality, if management can accept that I have no problem with metrics driven performance appraisal so long as it pays.
A robot doesn't need ar.

That's my point I tried making.

As soon as you actually use ar for people, at that point you have enough data for a robot to just do it instead.

As soon as you start creating ar support for it, you no longer need it.
I guess that they know that at this point they can not offer you something that would attract you. As one recruiter has told me "Your honeymoon in the new company will be over soon and then we will talk again".
Why does my browser need connectivity to some internal services? I am fine with offering opt-in service integration (Firefox Sync, Pocket, ...) but is there a reason why Firefox needs internal infrastructure to do the one thing it is supposed to do, browsing the web? I can only think of DNS over HTTP, but AFAIK that is also opt-in, right?

Man, I love Firefox and used it since it was called Firebird (with a small gap when Chrome was shiny and new and Firefox a slow RAM hog). But I really resent the Mozilla Foundation, they seem to be interested in everything but browser development. To be fair, (ab)using the browser as application runtime brought us so much complexity that developing and maintaining a secure browser as free software spare time project isn't feasible anymore.

P(doing something nasty | "Great question") > P(doing something nasty)
Every monetary system is based on a shared belief of value, therefore "faith". That does not mean that any cryptocoin is the same as USD. For example, there is no independent auditing to help assure me that Tether actually has the reserves they claim. And there is no transparent way to know where this money supposedly is, making it much easier to scam people than a traditional bank. If there is a problem with a bank, there are several legal and financial consequences for everyone involved, enforced by the government. The government also will, as it has, try to undo the mess even if it is at the expense of inflation or debt.

So yes, USD, Tether and my poker chips at home do share a fundamental characteristic of any method of exchange, a subjective belief about their worth that is ultimately decided by collective agreement. That does not mean they are anywhere close to the same thing, or scams.

That was an issue with the path planner, not depth perception, as demonstrated by the visualisation on screen. The challenge of path planning is underrated, and it's not a challenge that gets materially easier with the addition of LIDAR or HD maps. At best it allows you to replace one set of boneheaded errors with another set of boneheaded errors.

I grew to hate PubSub; this one weird trick for building PubSub
The default is that it forces a restart when a new update has been downloaded, which has been a frustration for me as apparently it has been for the parent.

Apparently this can be changed by requesting that FF only install updates with explicit consent[1]. I'd think the best way would be to install anything that's available locally when the browser starts without forcing a restart.

I think the word "mental" is doing too much work. It's productive to distinguish between "a minority suffering from a medicalized cognitive dysfunction like schizophrenia who can be safely ignored in the public discourse" and "a substantial and quasi-organized fraction of the population which behaves in a dangerously unreasonable manner".

In other words, are religious fanatics "mental"? Is this a useful categorization, when they're everywhere?
The data actually backs this up... Autocomplete of searches for example is used for the vast majority of searches, and users who have it turned off complain they can't locate documents they've just saved (because they don't remember the location they saved them, and it doesn't list recently saved documents in the search dropdown).
> What are the differences between elisp and lisp?

common lisp is a general purpose programming language with a well specified language and standard library. Elisp is intricately tied to emacs.

Notable differences are , till recently(?), elisp has only dynamic scoping for variables. Common lisp has, by default, lexical scoping for variables (while also allowing dynamic scoping). Common lisp has much better support for closures than elisp.
Common lisp has very mature commercial and open source compilers that produce very efficient code.

Well, we also say that the allies won the first world war, even though many people see the harsh treatment of Germany as contributing to the second world war.

(So I think that calling both of them victories is reasonable. If you want, you can also call both of them failures. But it seems a bit weird to call one a victory and the other not.)

Interesting, I haven't seen much chatter about their set of tooling, everything I came across about embedded programming with Rust has been about things under the rust-embedded umbrella. Do you know anything about their BLE and BLE HID support? Last time I checked rust-embedded, both were rather rudimentary.

This is the key to success. Even if you think a company is bad, but you have a good network that sends a referral your way, it will probably save you.

If the job was good and you liked working there - and you had the right attitude - then it's your job. Recruiters and even companies make it harder for a resume to get to the hiring manager than it ever used to be.
I don't think that's the case. If Paypal wanted, and it was legally allowed, they could anonymize my data to an extent where not even their own team could know who I am. We don't do it because it would be open to fraud and scams, not because it is impossible.
The folks from Ada Core have also been playing with affine types for Ada/Spark and the ParaSail author has joined them for a couple of years now.

Those OS solutions aren't cross platform (obviously) so they're only used reluctantly for the smallest amount of code necessary to interface with the platform. Microsoft went out of their way to support WinRT in Rust because sure as heck nobody else was going to.

That said, if IPC solutions count (which to me they don't), then the Linux standard would be D-Bus.

IRAM | Realtime C++ Software Engineer | Grenoble, France | ONSITE | VISA | Full Time | 36 - 60 KEUR/year | https://iram.fr

IRAM is an international research organization for millimeter radio astronomy funded by the French, German and Spanish Governments. IRAM operates two world-class research facilities, a 30-meter single-dish telescope (Spain) and the mm/submm interferometer NOEMA (France), one of the most advanced facilities existing today for radio astronomy.

We are looking for a C++ Software Engineer to work in our headquarter on the Campus of the University of Grenoble, France (indefinite contract, after a probation period of 6 months). Reporting to the Head of the Backend Group (my colleague that does not have a HN account yet).
Basically you have to translate in C++ the mathematical operations that are described in the book "Interferometry and Synthesis in Radio Astronomy" (CC-BY-NC-4.0) https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/28044
It may look pretty difficult but not impossible if you have a solid scientific education because the other engineers will explain to you how it works.

We are a nice company with a very low turn-over: staff like to work for IRAM.
Obviously French speaking is an asset, but only English speaking is really mandatory.

For more info, feel free to contact the staff department at rh@iram.fr
which will transfer the message to us (mention that you saw this on HN).

>Nobody in my family wears bathrobes and I'm pretty sure nobody in my country does (is this an american thing?)

Kind of an odd supposition, but okay .. I'm guessing you don't have much experience with the elderly and frail in care facilities, where it is pretty much policy to be robed when you get out of bed.

All of the elderly in my family (Europeans) use a robe when needed. Its not as 'rare' as you might think.

But fair enough, your point is that this mmWave-based fall detector doesn't need to be attached to the user. This means the end user is only going to be protected for as long as they are in the 'fall detection zone jail', alas. This is more of a prison than you might think - especially for elderly/care-needing individuals for whom mobility (outside, in a garden) is essential to their care and recovery .. wearing a device gives the individual far, far greater freedom over that of a 'zoned safety area' provided by a fixed-location installation ..

And for this reason, I simply don't agree that this mmWave thing is an improvement. It certainly is more convenient to care-givers, but its fixed-place requirement is a net loss for elderly/care.
I love writing code with typescript, but some things just make it harder than necessary, for example using environment variables.

If I want to use process.env.NODE_ENV I first have to create a new environment.d.ts, declare the interfaxe and export an empty object just so the typescript compiler is satisfied. It sometimes just adds too much boilerplate.

A more accurate summary of Tesla's position is that they beleive that the incoming data from different systems (lidar, radar, visual, etc) must be merged and very often there is contradictory data.

Resolving that correctly takes time (in ms), adds complexity and will sometimes be incorrectly judged.

Since the visual data is the more accurate the vast majority of the time, it will anyways take precedence over the other input. As humans have proven that visual is technically enough, they decided it makes more sense to squeeze the most out of the visual, rather than collecting other data, crunching it, then (in most cases) discarding it.

I am not sure they are right, and am pretty sure that even if so - they need better cameras.

But misquoting them doesn't really help your argument.

If you read the whole post, the connection was explicitly for telemetry (and so you could avoid the issue by turning off telemetry), and it blocked other connections because the request went into an infinite loop rather than failing outright.
