Most processes are designed around shifting blame. It doesn't really matter if the person is good at the job or not, what matters is that no one can blame you specificallly when it happens.

If you want your process to be effective, you need to account for this e.g. the famous 'stop the production line button' that people can't be blamed for pressing.
Where's your evidence that they do have a range restriction? Seems to me that you're moving the goal post without providing any justification for it.

There's plenty of sources online stating Google doesn't have a GPA requirement, that you're welcome to look up on your own time.

Besides those I can also tell from my own (and a couple of friends) experiences, interviewing with Google, that indeed they do not care about GPA - which is a plus when you consider, how many potential hires are not American and have used a completely different grading scheme.

The quote literally states the opposite of what you're claiming, according to Google - GPA does not in any way predict job performance, so why is it so important to you find a narrative, where it does?

What seems more likely - that several Google engineers all made an erroneous conclusion based on the available data or that they found that GPA has zero value in real life?
Ask HN: What makes omnisharp so slow?
Anyone who tried omnisharp must have noticed how incredibly slow it is. Things which should be instant takes seconds not even mentioning all other problems it has.
Its so slow it made me curious why? Lately I have been interested in software performance and I would like to understand omnisharp architecture and decisions they made because there must be some valuable lessons there obviously it was not written to be slow but ended up to be.
For now I have very limited understanding of how it works so maybe there is somebody with better understanding of its architecture who could give me some tips or bits of knowledge.
Give it another decade. Then you'll realize that most of our problems are self-inflicted.
Of course. Stop incentivizing bad stuff. Start incentivizing good stuff. The key thing is to start that transition and not to waste time prolonging the problem.

The Dutch government is actually paying farmers to stop farming. Nitrogen emissions are a big problem in densely populated areas and cattle farming is a known big contributor to that. So, they are paying farmers to get out of the business of converting subsidies into manure. The main point is not to keep them farming but to stop them from doing harmful things. If they can farm other things in a less harmful way; great. But otherwise, things like forests, nature reserves, etc. are also valuable to have. Nothing wrong with subsidizing farmers to create those.
Strictly, Fedora doesn't support doing updates while the system is running (or at least they don't recommend it).

An alternative that might be smoother in this regard: use a flatpak version of Firefox instead. (Firefox is in Fedora's flatpak repo, and on Flathub.) GNOME Software updates flatpak apps in the background, and you just get the new version the next time you open the app.
The problem is not to have a place where to put content, the problem is to have place so big where anyone can just create a new account in a few click without validation.

I managed a web forum dedicated to one particular hobby. It was quite popular. Yet simply from spam management we disallowed auto activation of new account. We asked people to reply to a few questions in order to know a bit more about them and their intents. Yes we probably lost a large number of potential users but we actually got the users that were really motivated and not thousands of shadow accounts waiting for activations by bots as before.

I guess it wouldn't be out of question for a platform that allow anyone to put content to ask for a mandatory copy of the ID of the user as well as a receipt for a electrical bill or something proving where they live in order to be able to report them to their local authorities if they post bad content. All these measures can be defeated but the amount of content to moderate would be in a much lower scale than when you allow accounts with random names and no validation.

How were you able to purchase a hosting company? Is your consulting business that big?
> Really - being willing to sit still for 20 minutes looking at your site and thinking but what if I couldn't see will probably help you find a bunch of obvious problems.

Yes, I'm hoping to acquire this mindset. What I'm building is quite simple, almost crud like in terms of the UI. The issue is I don't feel I get the mindset just yet. I understand speech is linear, and I assume the order mainly comes from how it's laid out in html (as opposed to position). But how do visually impaired navigate the items in this big list, intuitively and quickly? I assume focusable elements are critical, but how about the the rest of the content hierarchy? A row in a table doesn't tell me anything if I can't see the header simultaneously - for instance.
Why is it so hard to grasp: we don't want to trade our toxic carbon byproduct for toxic fission byproduct?
A similar thing is happening in inorganic chemistry. On https://materialsproject.org probably the majority of materials are 'discovered' computationally, by using DFT simulations to determine if and how stable any crystal structure would be. Using this database, AI can be used to find suitable materials for any application. [1]

> Nothing wrong with e.g. organically farmed corn.

There is nothing wrong with “factory”, “industrially”, or “sustainably” farmed corn either. Farming at scale is the only thing that allows all 8 billion people to eat.
> This is not arrogance. This is simply the pay of a CEO

You have a social responsibility to take care of the people working below you, which as a CEO is everyone. If you fire them and give yourself a raise, perhaps it is not arrogance but it definitely is gross negligence. No amount of "this is simply the market value" corporate doublespeak is going to change the fact that doing so takes you further and further from being an actual human being. Perhaps this is okay with you, but I think it should be questioned and mocked.

I would go as far that misinformation isn't really that much of a problem if it isn't perpetuated by media that is expected to report more truthfully. The first we heard about it was the election in the US in 2016. There was misinformation about connecting Trump to Russia which was perpetuated by the media, which I think is a pretty huge scandal and the battle against misinformation is a distraction from that.
> Are you trying to make the argument that Apple's rules make sense and those who want to see change likely have a conflict of interest?

In fact I’d argue that it’s almost exclusively those with a conflict of interest who care the least bit about the Apple tax.

> Do you think Apple's doing the right thing?

Yes. Apple can charge whatever they feel is appropriate. If at some point their prices will be too high, I can jump ship.
These words have shifted similarly but subtly differently in Norwegian too. Lekker = lekker, heerlijk = herlig.
>I chose the Square D Circuit Breaker, 60 Amp, 2-Pole, QO260 instead of the QO230CP QO 30-Amp Two-Pole Circuit Breaker because the price difference was negligible and I always liked the concept of over-sizing specifications.

Big mistake! The breakers in your service panel are to protect your wiring from overheating by drawing too much current. The 10ga wire he used is only rated for 30A, so it should be on a 30A breaker. Having more current than that could melt the cable or damage the generator. Bigger isn't always better when it comes to circuit breakers
Be ruthless about hiring and your team. Think about recruitment early on to work out how you can get the right people to do the jobs. As someone said, "if you think hiring a good person is expensive, try hiring a bad one". Plan for how to get rid of people who are not working out (easier in some countries than others).

Be super focused. It is easy to chase the money in similar but different directions and then you lack a coherent business strategy or brand. We burned time building a hardware-based version of our product, which we didn't want long-term, because a customer had money. Took about 3 months of the entire company's time and we never saw any of that money.

Honestly evaluate your product/service constantly, but especially in the early days. Is it really something that can be sold or is it low-value and low-volume? Do people want it or need it?

You need to believe in your product enough to charge the right amount (usually more than you are charging) otherwise you send the wrong message to customers and possibly cannot afford to support it if it becomes popular. Think in terms of what you are saving your customer rather than how much it seems like it should cost for a e.g. piece of software.

I would disagree with some of the comments below. Marketing is important but not necessarily early on and not necesarily involving hiring someone. Same with SEO. Can be useful but very market segment dependent. Instead, the one skill of the CEO is to see what is working and what isn't and to deal with it. If you can see a funnel with nothing coming in the top, maybe you do need marketing. On the other hand, if you get the leads but can't close anything, you either have a product or a sales problem.

I'm genuinely curious: Do you not see how insane it is that you believe this is low? Earning even a tenth of that would be stratospherically high.

All products have lemons and unless there's a site that collects information on repairs, it's hard to tell which laptop has a bad design.
I've had 2 Dells for myself and bought one for my dad (all Inspirons) and never had a problem with them. Lattitudes are workhorses, so with people now working remotely there are companies that buy those laptops by the 100s, so the production quality of Dell Lattitudes should be high enough that Dell wouldn't have to deal with warranty issues from its corporate clients
This is very confusing to me. I always thought absorbing the shock with your calf muscle would cost more energy.

The problem--and I feel the pain here deeply as a security person myself--is that that innovation was primarily along an axis (security) that no users care about (with a small bit of performance from concurrency, but there were clearly other ways to be faster), and was draining resources away from innovation that users cared about... which I'd claim was even going in the opposite direction: for many years now they have been continually tearing out the non-philosophical reasons I used Firefox in the quest to build a clone of Chrome, something the world doesn't have much use for as it already has Chrome.
Nice, such news publications are pretty rare these days.
Thanks for sharing.
Correct, but it isn't always possible to do that; it might be too expensive, the company might be picky about its customers, existing customers might be unwilling to share the competitive advantage they paid for, the company might have a grsec style "we don't give updates if you share the code" setup, etc.
Everything else being equal, I prefer shorter code.

I appreciate that some developers do, but things are never equal. Your own preference should largely be irrelevant if you work on a team. Code is how developers communicate with each another, so readability and clarity for someone else who's reading the code should always be the driving force behind your coding style.

Often shorter code is actually easier to read, so it kind of works out, but it should never be the goal. I actively push back on code where clarity has been sacrificed for brevity.

Normally I'd say M0+ is the king and offers good debug facilities over the M0 despite the slightly larger die size.

However, @rurban is probably correct purely because Ambiq is building their portfolio around the M4 (and M33), and they seem to be working hardest in pursuing and patenting IoT layouts/technologies that reduce energy usage.

I love AVR for teaching/learning, but the fact that you can* get a more powerful, larger memory Cortex-M at a much lower cost than, say, an Atmega... I don't know why anyone would choose AVR for a new design outside of niche uses.

What happens if the two declarations of E conflict? E.g.:

C --> E[Enjoy your weekend!];
D --> E[Have fun this weekend!];

That last example is wrong as translated.

In that context 'heerlijkheid' has nothing to do with taste words, it simply means 'glory'.
Renewables also have toxic byproducts. And also destroy nature. It is mot like they are greenest green all the way.

Well, names and titles are still language, but I agree with your actual point: the Indus inscriptions seem to be too short and probably not general enough to allow an in-depth understanding without finding new, longer texts.
How do you get opportunities in that scene? Do you get paid in cash or cryptocurrencies? Aren't you afraid of an eventual impending crash of the markets?

I also thought of learning about so-called smart-contracts but I'm skeptical of investing time in something that looks like it could crash any day, or maybe I'm just missing a big opportunity.
Guys, you learned nothing ! You are the top comment on HN, you should share the link to your project :)
Stop obsessing with VC money. Focus on winning customers' hearts and souls. Do things that don't scale (but bring food to the table). Most importantly, keep your optionality, which is the ability to pivot to whatever the market needs, not YOU or YOUR TEAM or YOUR INVESTOR needs.
I do. I think it's worth the trade off.
> Something I view as a key insight: a lot of labs are doing absurdly labor intensive exploratory synthesis without clear hypotheses guiding their work.

This lets you stumble over unknown unknowns. Taylor et al discovered high-speed steel by ignoring the common wisdom and doing a huge number of trials, arriving at a material and treatment protocol that improved over the then-state-of-the-art tool steels by an order of magnitude or more. The treatment mechanism was only understood 50-60 years later.
Not the person you're asking, but I use it. And I see zero reason not to. What am I missing?
And if top CEO talent results are a 85% market dip, why bother paying that much? A headless chicken can't make it much worse.
This is such a bad business decision as they could really establish themselves on the notebook market, even it got smaller in the meantime. But they have had this strategy for years and I don't believe they will be able to continue this for much longer because more and more people talk negatively about Dell. Problem is there are not too many alternatives and it seems to be a general trend.
for freelancers / consultants: counter-cyclical marketing

start your marketing sprint when you already have a s##tload of work. otherwise you will always have a cycle of "too much work <> no work" + lots of stress because of that.

you need to start hussling way before the "no work" phase. and that timespan always overlaps with the "too much work" phase.
Or so you may think. Working with diffs / merge conflicts already exposes you to internals. Knowing that committing big binary blobs is a bad idea also could be categorized as "knowing internals". Knowing why LF/CRLF leads to conflicts (without setting .gitattributes) also is knowing git internals.
> Firefox generally tends to lag behind Chrome when it comes to new APIs/web features

Sometimes that is because chromium just implements anything they want and it's not in the spec.
Also been on Switch for a while.
I wonder if there’s a correlation between enthusiasm for ligatures and programming styles or languages.

I want to learn Julia in part because it makes use of “fancy” chatacters (so your math looks like math). I like the more functional JS style, and I’m interested in haskell. And I love ligatures. Anedata of one.

Are you more a C-family person, or an ML-family person?
Sort of similar to the above, will rule you out of certain roles with certain businesses but if you're open and honest about it you'll be able to find something. The OP having computer hacking (and more importantly, fraud) on their record will make it harder than a DWI, as a DWI isn't something 'work related' (unless you drive for a living, obviously).

The amount of time passed is also something I've seen have an impact (e.g. if you had a DWI 20 years ago vs one 6 weeks ago)
> designing a human process around pathological cases leads to processes that are themselves pathological

Case in point: The Constitution of the United States of America.
I really, really wanted to like Julia. The syntax looked perfect to me (coming from scheme), and somehow everything felt 'right'. That's when I discovered that compiling to binary seemed to be frowned upon. I found some documentation on how to do this back when 1.0 came out, but it looked unnecessarily complicated and 'third-party'. I'm guessing Julia really is for sci-comp and data scientists, and not for producing redistributable bins. Does anybody know if Julia will ever become more 'general purpose', like say Racket or Python? Thank you.
Tell HN: Reddit accounts cancellation/suspension caused by VPN usage
Posted earlier about an account of mine having been suspended with no apparent reason (at least of posting rules breaking), then other two which I had in the past, for testing. As I was/am traveling at present, I used VPN in a few places, and I tested the theory of this being the source: created a new account yesterday, used it fine with no posting or submissions, then used it again today with two different VPN exit points, and sure enough: "Your account has been permanently suspended from Reddit."

If the Redit bozos do not comprehend the need for VPN, if *content* provided is of not harmful in any way, then I sure wish them good luck in keeping this service going ...

Edit: PIA as VPN, with three major exit points, used interchangeably: France (local when there, public place), UK (local when there, public place) and US (employer specific requirement). Original account was 10K+ submissions and almost same for comments, with never close to questionable content - got suspended during my travel, with no apparent (at time) cause. Two older/test accounts I dug up in the immediate aftermath of first closed, with no submissions, got also suspended within the span of a few days of use (reading/access only). One "control" test account got banned today, after having been opened yesterday - this purposely used while "flipping" between VPN exit points. HTH
You're talking about completely different things. Odds are an estimate of who will come out over the line quicker, polls are the underlying data used to calibrate that model.

The odds set in 2016 by various groups were often wildly bearish on Trump winning, the polls were not so much. Political polls and surveys are usually not off the mark by all that much, especially if you have good demography data.

Surveys can be manipulated but they are also much better than flying blind with no data at all.
What I meant was the Firefox phone, the hardware plus the Firefox OS, not the mobile browser, sorry for the confusion about mobile vs phone.
> It performs significantly worse than Chrome for me on both desktop Linux and Android

Not sure about Android, as I can’t remember how Chrome performs, but I regularly test things in Chrome on Desktop (or when sites are so third-party heavy, I can’t figure out a sensible way to enable sites), and on Windows the performance for both is indistinguishable, and that’s despite tons of extensions for FF and none for Chrome.
I mean pronouns of type VARCHAR, not ENUM.
for me, Firefox is nothing special. For privacy, I choose Safari. For extensions, I choose Chrome. Sometimes I use Brave as well. Firefox is the last option.
It'll still be the latter. Courts have argued that even in the case where it is known the child does not belong to the "father", he's still required to pay child support.
