> The policy suggestions are all poorly researched and reminded me of the kind of ideas you'd see on a comedy show like Silicon Valley... you know, TV depictions of tech bros coming up with "solutions" for problems that they don't understand.

Spare me the uneducated "tech bro" commentary that I've heard throughout. It's unoriginal. I'm eager to hear your ranked choices and what policies made so much more sense to you though than Yang's and what Yang's good ideas were.

Yang made PR plunders sure, but it was completely disproportionate. It's odd to me that you can be so complimentary towards Eric Adams though, Brooklyn borough president, a position that's notorious for doing literally nothing. Voting in local elections is important, but I consider living in NYC rather than Fort Lee, NJ to be mayor to be even more important. NYC newspapers certainly didn't care though.

Here's the best example of the muck-raking that I can think of, which I've been thinking about since Michelle Go's murder. Yang talked about the mentally ill, homeless population, the need for enforcement of Kendra's law, psych beds, and the concern of ordinary New Yorkers. The media and voters ran with the soundbites to mean that Yang hates homeless people. Kendra's Law would have saved Michelle Go's life by the way.

iOS is straying further and further from that path with every release, though. It's not Android-level, but it's far from what it used to be.

How would we know if that was or was not happening, either here or, more aptly (for the analogy to be accurate), abroad?
I've been keeping a list of interview questions in my personal docs, but just uploaded them to a repo once I saw this post.

Feel free to check them out. They also include questions to ask the recruiter. I hope they can be of use.

'BizOps' is usually a mix of internal consulting, operations, and data analysis.

There is no standard definition and I think we should keep it that way. With the number of 'Ops' that people are trying to do soon companies will need 'OpsOps' to make sure they're operationalizing their operations.
To change the game for the survival of our species (if protecting a species that destroyed 75% of ecosystems as of today is really sth wanted anyway) we might want to protect the other species as well since we rely on them almost entirely for anything relevant to survival. Also I am not sure having ten times more energy would do any good.

IPBES reports as well as the literature in relevant conservation journals are recommended readings.
Even if you're allowed to use Linux, you still end up getting a Mac to support your coworkers. I suppose I can be grateful that Docker Desktop is slowly fading away. Sadly Homebrew is too essential to die and the ${g} prefix remains for random commands.
just want to thank you for everything you've done for the iOS user community these last 15 years. I left the platform when Apple's success in fighting its own users became too much of a pain point, but before that your work helped enable developers to do some utterly fantastic stuff.
Hallpass is a truly trivial piece of code --- it might be less than 400 lines all in. All it really does is run certificate authentication off of a root cert we store in `_orgcert.internal` in DNS.

If you like, you can roll a Dockerfile that runs OpenSSH directly on your internal network address (bind it to `fly-local-6pn`), and then use native WireGuard to talk to it.

I've got a branch on hallpass that does port forwarding, but I never merge it, because you're right: using port forwarding on Fly.io is weird, because we already provide you direct access to any port you're exposing, and you can't talk to any of this stuff without WireGuard already. I think it would just confuse people more if I made port forwarding work.

>> "What if we are too focused on results, rather than the process?"

Well, that is kind of the problem with generative art, it is all process with no point. As Helen Pierce in Ozark would say, "It has no intention."
Gotos can be used to effectively accomplish try/catch in C. As long as you stick to a safe goto idiom like this then they can be useful. In general, an inexperienced programmer taught that goto is okay is probably not going to stick to safe idioms and will instead create spaghetti code, hence why they are steered away.
> which is almost never how systems work or how I tend to think of them.

As a concrete example of where this was recently useful for me, consider the organization of my blog post on software architecture:

https://alexkrupp.typepad.com/sensemaking/2021/06/django-for...

The reason why it's (imho) generally lucid and well organized is because I put all the bullet notes that I had into FreeMind, so I was able to easily drag them around and see the connections between the ideas. This is what allowed me to eventually figure out what the larger themes were.

Even if systems aren't hierarchical in their natural state, we tend to have represent them hierarchically in order to share with others -- e.g. in a blog post, a book, a YouTube video, etc. And so being able to have insights around hierarchy, and organize your thinking around hierarchy, tends to be useful.

In terms of programming, even ten years later I still put everything I learn into the same mindmap. So most recently this has been Angular (and the upgrade process from AngularJS), Kubernetes (for consulting), Typescript, etc.

It's definitely a lifesaver for documenting obscure AWS operations that I only need a few times a year, but where it would be a huge pain to have to go back to the original AWS documentation each time. E.g. using FreeMind it takes me 10 seconds to figure out how to tail the logs from my beanstalk instances, whereas just using Google that would be an ordeal.
I think one of the things we don’t appreciate (perhaps most of the people on HN do) is that many of these platforms are not, as billed, social networks. They are, in fact, data collecting applications with a user facing, attention acquisition mechanism in the form of a fun little app. They are addictive for a reason. To get data off you.
It's amazing that it is 2022, and not only can we not put any kind of media in source code comments, nobody even entertains the idea that it could be possible.

Programming tooling really is living in the dark ages sometimes.
There’s a massive difference in the internet itself, but the topic of discussion here is data collection, which isn’t really a massive difference.

Used a similar process: ask an open ended problem with no "correct" solution that the interviewers (us) might be looking for, and also weren't domain specific. The same question could be asked of MEs, EEs, software developers, you name it -- they could just talk about the part of the problem that mattered to them.

An example: one we used a few times was "we decided we want to build a drone for the police. So if a bank is being robbed the cop who arrived first could take it out and it will help solve the crime." Some people would ask a bunch of constraints up front; others would just dive in and ask questions as they went. And they'd think about the problem "so we want to chase the getaway car long enough until a regular copter can get airborne, so let's assume X MPH for Y minutes minimum". Someone else thought "small is probably better because perhaps it can look into the bank when it would be dangerous for a person to try, and we have to assume a lot of them will be destroyed, so cost matters." etc etc.

Another great one is "Jucero (this is just after they collapsed) has inspired us to make a bluetooth-only coffee machine". My favorite candidate started with "even with BT you'll really need a control panel for reasons XXX and YYY. And BT generally won't add much, if anything, but if product management insists, let's think up some halfway plausible use cases..." and then ended up in a discussion of the protocol and how to think about making it robust against failure."

These were always fun, and told us a bit about how the candidate thinks, without the pressure of doing it "right". Often the solutions were excessively elaborate, or missed elements a real product would need, but so what? They were "first drafts" in a situation with some pressure. And who cares about remembering the precise arguments to a function or anything that needed looking up.

And the length of these things helped strain out bullshitters. One candidate immediately said "the best way to solve this is to use an XXX. The other interviewer and I looked at each other excitedly. That was the best way and nobody else had suggested it. The candidate went on to ignore XXX, even when we asked questions in the hope of sending the discussion back that way. It's as if they had said "oh, well for this you'll need an adjustable wing" and then drew a wheeled vehicle that could not fly.

That is a poor excuse for a clearly bad security practice. That is akin to a mugger saying “if the world gave me another way to make money, I wouldn’t be mugging people”. Some things just shouldn’t be done! This is a hill I’m willing to die (by a thousand downvotes) on!
Ask HN: Do you usually give X weeks notice to your employer? Why, or why not?
I'm aware that there are certain laws requiring that employees give advance notice before leaving a company. Curious about how common this practice is, and if folks are usually gracious enough to give even more advanced notice, e.g. four weeks when only two are required.
Fortnight is very common in UK English, Australian English and New Zealand English. So, most of the Anglophone 'five-eyes'.

I would expect that it's also common in Canadian English, but seeing that the US is just over the border and 'fortnight' is uncommon in the US, maybe not.

Yes but the display freezing and then him putting it in reverse isn't what he described happening.

There's a big difference, and it's obvious from watching the video once which one happened, even to someone who didn't know how to put a Tesla in reverse (me).

When someone says something incorrect, I always wonder if it's accidental or intentional. This kind of misrepresentation seems intentional, making me question the source's future credibility.

I hate Teslas, their complexity is a design flaw. Can't believe I'm defending them.
Darn. It's been a fun 10 years. Farewell Minecraft.
How complete is the ssh implementation? I'm thinking I probably want to at least run git/hg push, and maybe even do port forwarding.
Why wouldn't it scale? (I posted a reply to the GP comment about how I've done in the past, admittedly always at startups).
IDK starting the baby making process isn't terribly difficult once one has a partner. It's the carrying to term and everything after that is a lot of time, money, and energy.

You are assuming that the platform would not exist if the company didn't create it. But if tiktok doesn't exist the discussion would just happen somewhere else. I should also say that I'm not suggesting that tiktok was created for the sole purpose of pushing propaganda from its inception.
Every time I look into it though these tricks aren't making reads truly fast, they are just mitigating the impacts of LSM trees to the extent to which is possible, but a B-Tree are still in the end both better for reads and not even that much worse than writes (due to the write amplification from LSM trees; with B-trees this is only an issue if you are making truly random writes, which I believe is the worst case for LSM trees anyway).
Minecraft logins and app types are so confusing. I've bought two accounts but lost one of them because I can't figure out which app type or login type it was for.

They've been publicizing this migration for at least a few years - I think I migrated my migration after a communication in 2020). Not sure what the actual implications are for who controls my data, but I can say: as a very casual Minecraft user, this change was pretty well publicized and rolled out.

P.S. Anyone else who has mostly stopped playing Minecraft but continues to watch Let's Plays on YouTube? I play Minecraft probably once every 3 months, but watch Minecraft content at least once a week...

A meta comment on the comments on this article: as one might expect post-"goto fail"[1] there are a lot of people saying "hey this should be refactored, no goto!" I thought that at first when looking at the code, given what I remember of the Apple SSL vulnerability, and how "goto" has a smell. But, as it turns out, there are sane reasons to use goto in systems programming, especially as a kind of cleanup / finally block. TIL.

I take issue with both, and would not have it any other way. Unix has grown, sometimes in convoluted ways, but often through the path of least resistance which generally happens to be the shortest path.
About 400 for each word. So any individual word doesn't mean much, I agree - I think they're more interested in the general trends.
> I'm going to assume you're from one of the countries mentioned below? It's my understanding most countries with Muslim majority do not centrally enforce Zakat.

Today, many Muslim countries are not in a good shape unfortunately, and that's due to several reasons beyond the scope here. I'm referring to how things are required by Islam, and how things were done historically when Islam was actually implemented. Today Islam is not applied 100% unfortunately, which is a main cause of weakness for Muslim nations. They're either in property due to occupation, current or historic, or have to bow down to the West's whims, so that they are not overturned or invaded.

> By compelling people to hold wealth denominated in currency, and then inflate that currency using central bank or treasury.

I meant how would inflation happen in case of Zakat being enforced? They're orthogonal things unless I'm misunderstanding you.

> But government can also misappropriate Zakat

There is a set category of people whom are deserving of Zakat clearly outlined in the Quran. So, if Islam is properly applied, there would not be any meddling. It has been historically documented that in Iraq during Ummayad rule, there were no more poor people left to accept Zakat. Quite amazing.
Sure, but again, think of the relationship with furniture and fashion like the typical male relationship with cars. Magazines, movies, celebrities, blogs, shopping way outside your price range without any intent to buy when you have nothing to do... I imagine all these things apply. Most guys I know learned about cars from hours of Top Gear, and drive used Honda Accords. I'll bet there's an equivalent for learning and caring about fabrics, furniture, and clothing.
But you have to ask why men step up to take the dangerous jobs? We didn't sit down and have a Socratic discussion about who takes which job. I posit that it's more than merely logic, that the motivations are rooted in our intuition.

It's also simply not true that this is not supported by what we know. "Common sense" says that men die younger than women. And indeed we can find statistical proof of this wherever we go. Take car accidents. No one wants to get into a car accident. Yet men are 3x more likely to die in car accidents than women.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/192074/drivers-in-fatal-...

Getting into car accidents yourself doesn't prevent child-rearing members of society from getting into car accidents of their own. What else explains this gender difference? Maybe men have worse vision? Worse reaction time? Are women stronger at turning the wheel than men? Maybe men are more distractable than women? I think not. People who have been driven by both mom and dad know: men drive more dangerously than women do.

Every statistic related to safety shows that men are more willing to get into danger than women. Even in suicide rates, men are more likely to succeed, even with women trying more often.

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190313-why-more-men-kil...

There are so many examples like this. It's almost certainly true that men have a higher predilection for danger compared to women that is driven by some biological factor. If you think it's not the mind, then you would have to come up with a different explanation for every disparate piece of evidence out there. Not that it's impossible, but there's a simpler conclusion to draw.
I wouldn't bet on 30 day warning, we were told the same thing (6 weeks) and then the communication became come back in next week.
Hans was most definitely the primary antagonist. We just don't find out until the end. And same for the King. His actions drive the conflict, we just don't find out that it's his actions until the end.

> and te ka was actually a good being who acted negatively because of maui's actions.

Darth Vader is a good being who acts negatively because of the Emperor's actions, but he's still the villain. Just because the villain is redeemed doesn't make them not the villain.

Yes, they've moved away from the idea of establishing the villain in the first act and defeating them in the third, but that's just better storytelling, not removing the villain. Just ask a child who the "bad guy" is in each movie and they will tell you without hesitation. It's only more subtle to you because you're an adult.
> Last I heard[0] they were experimenting but hadn't shipped it. AFAIK their client still requires root, no?

Tailscale's gvisor/netstack-based userspace networking mode has been supported and in wide use for quite some time. It's the default on Synology DSM7, for instance.

You don't need root when you run tailscaled with `--tun=userspace-networking`.

Peers can still connect inbound to the non-root tailscaled, but to connect _out_ to other peers, you need to use tailscaled's HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy, which are also flags to tailscaled, to specify what port they listen on.
Well one has to correlate with several factors. A key value to that would be if Tesla shared anonymized, raw data from their FSD beta and human-drivers.

Since this data isn't publicly available by Tesla people are going to report anecdotal data.

Does Tesla know this? Of course they do.

Is it easy to share that kind of data? It is not trivial, but not as complicated as FSD.

Maybe it doesn't have a good ROI, I guess.
There are significant behavioural differences between the sexes in basically every animal. Even among mice the males are more inquisitive and take more risks than the females, so you find many more males than females in traps etc. Female animals tend to care much more about children. There is no reason to believe that humans evolved past this and all our differences are just us planning it out rationally.
For starters, nothing beats a clean laptop on a network that cannot be traced back to the user.

Also, just not talking about it on the wires makes a lot of difference, not to avoid being caught, but to at least prevent potential charges to go further into the conspiracy territory.
Great list of information anyone should know before accepting an offer.

As a hiring manager, I'm usually one of the first people new candidates speak with (perhaps right after briefly talking to a recruiter). Generally, I want to make sure candidates have all this information within the first interview or two. These days, I tend to open my interview with an opportunity for the candidate to ask any questions about the role and company that weren't answered by the recruiter.

I also try to leave time at the end, but I find that there's often so little time at the end, that it's better to start with any questions.
Yeah and it's make sense to use it this way since there is no try-catch in C.
From the paper, participants didn't need to define the word. They just had to recognize that it was a real word [1]:

> Participants and the vocabulary test used

>

> For each vocabulary test, a random sample of 67 words and 33 nonwords was selected. For each letter string, participants had to indicate whether or not they knew the stimulus. At the end of the test, participants received information about their performance, in the form of a vocabulary score based on the percentage of correctly identified words minus the percentage of nonwords identified as words. For instance, a participant who responded “yes” to 55 of the 67 words and to 2 of the 33 nonwords received feedback that they knew 55/67 – 2/33 = 76% of the English vocabulary.

Granted, there's nothing stopping a participant from responding "Yes" to a word they can't define. But I think that's more likely to happen on words that the participant knows of even if they can't define it.

Here's the test, BTW [2]. It appears to still be up.

The discussion here is: what parts of culture are motivated by biology? It's obviously cultural. But what is motivating the culture?

Also interesting to me that grilling is manly started in the 50's. That seems to be about the time that household appliances like microwave were getting popular, no? Maybe men who liked to cook needed to find a manly outlet.
