I don't know why anyone would use it outside of the need for some legacy mysql stuff or something. For me it is always postgresql or sqlite (I have never had to work with a nosql solution) depending on the situation.
I think Elon was the one doing the lying.
At this point, I'd create a new profile and try again. I know that you've already tried both Stable and Nightly, but there is a possibility that both of their profiles have been corrupted by some external factor. If the issue is not at the container level, then it's probably at the profile level.

I hope they start by offering larger laptops - I tend to prefer 17". I was looking at Framework when buying a new laptop last year but as they only offered the smaller model (and weren't shipping to the EU at the time) I went with a Dell. Obviously I hope my current laptop lasts as long as possible but if/when it gives up the ghost I would be very interested in buying a Framework if they are offering a 17" by then.

Colorado highways seem to have a weird thing I haven't seen elsewhere. The right lane is consistently going ~10mph below the speed limit while the left lane goes ~10mph over. Any and all middle lanes are also a bit of a crapshoot.
All they need to do is recognize a construction zone a minute ahead of time and get the human to take over. This would allow level 4 through construction zone. Level 4 is self driving "in the easy parts", and give humans enough time to take over in the "hard parts" (level 5 is everywhere, and as you note a much harder problem). Note though that you can't just stop driving, you need to allow time for the human to figure out what it going on, how to properly have humans take over is itself a hard problem.
Humans get outraged all the time. If you drive exactly at the speed limit, they get angry, if you drive 5km/h over they get angry that you don't drive 10km/h over it, others get angry that you are tailgating them when they are driving exactly as fast as allowed and will brake check you --- I really think autonomous cars should just mechanically stick to the rules, then they are at least predictable.
The Latex created PDF's are 100 times more pleasant to read though.
I'm not claiming that climate change will be innocent ( just to be sure). It will impact a lot of people ( in absolute numbers, I'm not sure in relative numbers) before it gets fixed.

But humans are indeed pretty good at getting on top of things when it's crucial. It's the preparation part that could use improvement ( definitely on a global participation scale).

From another point of view: it's never been this peaceful in the world. Which doesn't mean it's all perfect now, but a reminder of where we came from and how bad it was.

Making a "big bad fuzz" out of things is a requirement to acknowledge and to solve them by getting everyone onboard.

Edit: misread a bit, I thought you mentioned we were better at preventing things, but you didn't. So...

Tldr: I agree!
Efficiency, and a simple formula for being a 10x-er
I do the same thing - I give them a ballpark of what I am making right now and depending on the opportunity what it would take to make me say yes (and if I em flexible/etc).

Sets expectations and avoid wasted time, which everyone prefers.
The US hasn't decoupled cases from ICU cases and deaths to the same extent as some other countries.

Denmark's deaths are about half the US's per cap, but that's a lagging indicator; its ICU rate collapsed over January and is now less than 10% of the US's. And that's at a much higher covid prevalence than the US (about five times, though at such high levels data is dubious; lots of people are undoubtedly being missed).

Generally the calculus here is that if ICU rates at very high covid prevalence are sustainable, then there's no further point to restrictions (that was the rationale explicitly used for ending restrictions in Ireland, say). The US is a bit off that yet; US ICU rates are falling off a little bit, but still at very high rates.

It's likely that a big part of this is that the US only has about 80% elderly vaccination; many European countries would be virtually 100%. That makes things a lot easier.

Ask HN: How do you use your company's learning fund?
My company has a program to reimburse a few thousand dollars a year for both short term learning, like conferences, books, courses, etc, and a separate fund for long term learning like degrees and certification. However, I'm not sure how it would be best used

Those that have similar programs at work, how have you spent that money to further your career?
I think it’s reasonable to say “nobody” follows all the rules of the rules of the road. The ones you deem important enough to rigorously follow come down to local social dynamics/norms more than written law.

I’m from Colorado and drivers there are much tamer than the Bay Area - and rightly so! Traffic conditions in SF/peninsula (where I live now) are way more hectic & dense than Colorado. It’s almost weird to expect uniformity across all regions
> Strong disagree. I've made it my policy to never work with a recruiter that isn't affiliated with the company they're hiring for. Recruiting farms like Cyber Recruiters (yuck) will do everything in their power to waste your time out of sheer incompetence and disinterest.

100% agree. I'd go a step further and say: don't bother applying for any job on Indeed where they say "we're looking to fill a contract position with <insert some info about another company (a top industry producer!)>" because they're just a front for those same recruiting farms.
I meant more that in some places (NYC) no one waits for the crossing signal, yet in other places (like LA) everyone does.
I don't know why anyone would use it outside the need for some legacy MySQL stuff or something. For me, it is always PostgreSQL or SQLite (I have never had to work with a NoSQL solution) depending on the situation.
Oh, I haven't heard of the 17 fundamental particles before

Though they do make for a better "argument/point"

Will think about including them.

Don't you think though that the 118 elements are more common knowledge than the 17 particles?
I find Bluetooth annoying to use since you have to license it. For example if you add an LED to an raspberry pi and you want to sell it to your friend you have to pay $9600 to SIG. (then you also have to pay $xxxx or more to get it certified by the FCC)
Lego is interesting, because on the other hand it is very accessible (to a degree), but at the same time it tends to shift projects from making a thing to working around the limitations of Lego. Kinda reminds me of bash programming, it has similar characteristic of being attractive because it is there, but then actually engineering around the limitations of bash becomes quite the exercise once you start implementing stuff.
Chia Offers – Completely decentralized peer-to-peer trading
That's great, and I'm in a similar situation myself. But your intro mentioned this being early career advice, which could mislead people into making pretty big negotiation mistakes.
I have FSD Beta as well. Even in Assertive mode, I've never actually seen it do a rolling stop, including rural areas with nothing around. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. In fact, I'd prefer it didn't--or at least provide an option to toggle it on and off.
Has it ever occurred to you that your users can (a) see all requests you make to third party services, including your credentials and client secrets, (b) modify and replay those requests at will and (c) spoof responses from those services?
Even worse, there are school signs that say 15mph when children are present. Kids could be behind cars, bushes, people, etc. That’s a very hard task to deal with.
I like third party recruiters because I like to use them strategically. I know how they are compensated and they learn what I want to do, so I could get raises every 15-18 months by switching companies that they placed me at and they could get paid multiple times because turns out I'm a reliable employee!

We knew to ignore each other for 15 months. It was a good symbiotic relationship. Sometimes they knew I wanted side gigs and would hook me up with the companies that "needed something yesterday!" while they knew I was employed at one of their client companies. sometimes the recruiter hired me on their payroll directly instead of letting me be a contractor with their clients. it was a fun time for some time.

This has almost nothing to do with random outreach from them on linkedin. It is barely the same topic. But thats what I used them for.

In-house recruiters are distinctly different animals with a couple of overlapping daily tasks and the same name, but the way to use them is very different. A company with one of those wouldn't be using third party recruiters and thats fine, in house recruiters can somewhat bat for you in a unique and more holistic way but they are still just gatekeepers you want to get passed so you can talk technical stuff with hiring managers.

Sound engineers will always deny it but changes in music production including auto-tune have ended the connection that people used to have with music. If you hear 1970s music in the background you find people (even 20 year olds) know the musicians, know the songs, and have opinions. Contrast that to modern music playing at the gas station where people can't say anything about it and sometimes can't even tell if it is country or rap.

Go ask people to name a Kanye West song on the street on the other hand and the vast majority can't name a single one -- his body of work is excellent and you might find 1 person in 5 who will talk your ear off about him but modern music really washes over people without leaving any impression.

Cable TV has gone downhill for years because there is no line between quality programming and you spending a dollar. The weather channel or CNN is going to keep getting shovels of cash no matter how bad they are.

We see this happening with Netflix. It was good once but people are losing interest in it. The "All You Can Eat" model breaks the line between quality content and money so it goes to pot. (For now Disney+ is looking better but when the honeymoon ends it too will pass.)

The subscription music services seem great now. Except for Spotify they all have Neil Young. If you want to listen to old music you'll be very satisfied. 20 years from now you'll notice you're still listening to the music you are listening to now because the line between quality music and money was erased so
no good music got made.

So it boggles my mind that people think GAME PASS is anything but the end of gaming. When you pay for individual games you have a voice, you have power, you have input into the games that get made. When you play GAME PASS, the game plays you.

We saw it happen with cable TV, Netflix and Music, I just wish people would see what is front of them instead of being brainwashed into thinking any logo Microsoft is shoving up your nose is a good thing.
Also I'm pretty sure lots of places say "{somePlace} Stop" where somePlace is some nearby place known for supposedly having bad drivers.
Esp32 ist great for Bluetooth low energy work. E.g. the Watchy open source smart watch.

After changing a couple of Group Policy sleep settings in Windows 10, and removing some expansion modules, my framework Laptop uses around 300 mW while asleep. That means it takes the whole night before it drains 5% off the battery (and switches to hibernate). I haven’t yet replicated this in Linux, but I assume it’s possible (someone can correct me if I’m wrong).
Im not sure yet whether it was the settings changes, or certain expansion modules which affect standby drain the most, but I’ve seen forum discussions where people were making progress narrowing it down, and I think the framework peeps were going to look into it. I will do more experimenting today.
Unrelated, but I have been most impressed with the framework guys already adding two BIOS settings I love based on other peoples’ feedback (dimming the power led & max battery charge).
IMO 5.6mph is a lot faster than de facto stopped, and hitting someone at 5.6mph can seriously injure someone.

2-3mph I think is more reasonable for rolling through.
You don't need "professional" drivers for your sound card in 2022, latency and stability are mostly a solved problem. There are a few "nice to haves" about ASIO on Windows but it's almost entirely useless, and it's not like Steinberg is maintaining ASIO anymore.
Stanford Research Computing Center | Systems Administrator, Linux | Palo Alto, CA | ONSITE | Full-Time

(Fun Fact: The "city" is technically Stanford, a Census-designated place in unincorporated Santa Clara County. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford,_California)

The Stanford Research Computing Center (SRCC) is part of Stanford University IT, while also reporting to the Dean of Research. We run traditional HPC environments, and also provide bespoke development & administration services.

In this position you'll be helping run the Sherlock HPC cluster (https://www.sherlock.stanford.edu). The cluster—actually two merged sub-clusters—have 40,000+ CPU cores. If we did the benchmarking, we'd be in the Top500 list ("How do you actually get into Top500?" is a good question to ask us in an interview!). You can read more specs at https://www.sherlock.stanford.edu/docs/tech/

You'll be working in a RHEL-type environment (currently CentOS-based), deployed using xCAT; maintained by ClusterShell; authenticated using Kerberos (with LDAP for directory info); and featuring SLURM (plus MariaDB), Infiniband, and Lustre. Don't worry if you don't know anything about SLURM, Infiniband, Lustre, xCAT, or ClusterShell; we'll train you!

Many orders? Come on. I have had better results on one or the other and flip between them but not “orders of magnitude” different.
"Internet" is inclusive of critical logistic and financial infrastructure so, yeah, not optional to keep it running no matter how much of it consist of cat pics.
Bunch of different options. I actually couldn't tell the difference in latency from through a monitor when I just used steam in home streaming / remote play as steam in box streaming / not really remote play.

I'd say in order of seamlessness:
KVM switch or monitor input switch
Looking-glass
parsec, steam in home streaming

I have a KVM switch as well but I kind of prefer to run things in a window.

There's a couple quality of life things about running windows in a VM as well. When it goes on it's update parade I can just close the window and ignore it. And with snapshotting a bad update can just be rolled back.

My current Linux laptop (released in 2015) can sleep for about week, resume in 3-4 seconds. Am I reading your comment correctly that buying a Framework would degrade my user experience?
What the heck is a "bupbupbup?"
Right, but they don’t do that, do they? Their failure mode is beeping at you to take over at the last possible second.
I experience the same issue, seemingly randomly, on firefox on Android. I log in, it redirects me to the home page, but I am not logged in. I retry over and over with the same result. The form is filled by my password manager, so I know it is right (I have manually typed in credentials as well, same result).

I just switch to chrome when it happens, and it seems to resolve itself at random. Last time it happened was a few months ago.
We are running mariadb for many years on a 50k request per second app. Works pretty fine. Why should we migrate to postgress? I know many mid sized projects relying on MariaDb. It's a stable database proven in many different scenarios.
Theatre.js | Fullstack Engineer | Senior | Remote | https://join.theatrejs.com

At Theatre.js [0] we are enabling artists and engineers to create intricate interactive experiences. We are also empowering people to craft their own creative environments. Our mission is to blur the line between designer and developer, author and consumer, artist and scientist.

Our mission is inspired by the work of Ivan Sutherland, Seymour Papert, Bret Victor, and others.

We recently announced $4.5M in seed funding [1] and have two spots left on the core team.

Your main job as a full-stack engineer is to implement the multiplayer collaboration infrastructure. Think real-time editing like Google Docs, and branching/merging like Git (without conflicts), and component-level versioning like SelfLang. This is a big challenge in terms of performance and ergonomics, and we're pretty sure it hasn't been tried before.

If you're up for the challenge, write us a cover letter at join@theatrejs.com. We know a good engineer when we see one, so there won't be a lot of interviews to go through.

Unfortunately, it does not. Country and language are still coupled, so there's no way place a pre-order with shipping destination France with the website language set to English, for example.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30166510

As mentioned there, for countries like Switzerland with more than two languages, whichever language chosen would be wrong for a majority.

I'd even claim that for the market they're targeting, having English and nothing else for all regions would likely be way better than the current situation.
Futo (https://futo.org) | Software Engineer | Austin, TX or Remote

FUTO, a new organization devoted to giving people control over their data,
is searching for a talented Android engineer to work with an elite team of
former academics and Silicon Valley veterans to build the next generation
of social sharing apps.

Our iOS app Circles (currently in beta) aims to combine the security of
encrypted messenger apps like Signal with the ease of use and convenience
of social networks like Facebook. Circles is built with Matrix, so all
data is encrypted from end to end, and anyone can run their own server.

We do not sell ads and we do not monetize our users' data. We believe that
technology should work for its users -- not the other way around.

If you're an Android developer who's excited about cryptography,
decentralized systems, security and privacy -- or if you just want a safer
way to share baby photos with the grandparents -- we'd love to talk to you.

Applicants must be passionate about freeing technology from the control of the
few and recreating the spirit of freedom, innovation, and self-reliance that
underpinned the American tech industry only a few decades ago.

Compensation will include a competitive salary, benefits, and bonuses.

Location: On site (Austin, TX) or remote (US). For interested candidates
outside the US, please contact us to discuss ways that we might work together.

Email me directly to discuss (cvwright@futo.org) or apply by sending a resume and cover letter to jobs@futo.org
Focusing on the "you have now N + 1 standards" problem, I think following the Language Server strategy is the way to go: you don't force people to support it, you focus on specifying an API that support a handful of representative bridges (let's say Python <-> Swift <-> Java <-> Haskell), with a builtin method to evolve and then let people realize that supporting this new ABI immediately brings support for every other language that supports it in an idiomatic-ish way.
I really only honk at people for screwing up. If they cut me off I will wail on the horn for a long time, just holding it, letting them know. I love embarrasing asshole drivers like this especially if they have some passenger. Whenever cars honk at me for using the crosswalk I actually enjoy it, because then I just stand in front of their car for the rest of the light cycle absolutely cussing them out and embarrasing them while they can do nothing because the walk sign is on. I love pointing to the walk sign and saying "What does that sign say? Drive? does that stick figure walking with a countdown say Drive to you?" as loud as possible. Other pedestrians have even fist bumped me. It is so cathartic!
New Integrated View for Gmail
I have a nice collection of "throwaway" phone numbers for all kinds of reasons, while one of them is dedicated to job hunting, I don't think merely having it would have stopped this agency from sharing my CV across to whomever they shared it with, or stopped whatever leak occurred for said email address to end up in so many collections of leaked data.

That was the reason: to understand where my data was leaking from, not to duck recruiter calls.
