While I can't imagine the difficulty of being blind, I'm right there with you on the cars front!

It's just that with scooters we're introducing something new, and unlike with cars it would be technologically reasonable to say "you can only park this at the end of block in the scooter zone" and nail the companies with a huge fine if they don't enforce it.

I'm actually fairly pro-scooter (though I wish people just used city bikes in the places that have them, but I get it), but I think final parking location should be more like the city bikes, in designated spots.

Yeah, the article. :-)

It's probably sold that way because they practically do not expect any residential customer to actually use it that much.
breaking/braking. Not sure which is a better fit in this case.

I hope the latter statement is true and is not just satisfaction from completely controlling your childrens life. Because blocking all electronic after school is certainly the harshest thing I've ever heard of.
> With O(1) time, the easiest solution is just to store the minimum-to-date next to the value in the stack. Consulting the minimum is then just looking at the top value's minimum entry.

That won’t work. The all-time minimum may have been popped when the call to retrieve the lowest value currently on the stack is made.

As a first go, I would use a min-heap (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_(data_structure)) and a stack. Adding items then is a matter of adding them to both the heap and the stack. Popping would pop an item from the stack, look up any item in the heap with that value, and remove that. To get the minimum, look at the top of the min-heap.

Now, there probably is a way to combine these two data structures. I can’t rapidly think of one that’s more efficient in space and/or time, though.

(Edit: thinking more about it, I guess the problem also requires push and, in particular, pop to be O(1). Without that, the problem is trivial, as you can update the minimum value after every push or pop)
While yes, the bandwidth is certainly enough and comparable to fast (but not fastest) consumer-grade storage these days (2-3 GB/s), I'd be more concerned with latency issues as NVMe tends to have latency on the order of microseconds (so ~1/1000th that of a very low single-digit internet latency).
I hugely appreciate this! I will definitely install it.
Ask HN: How do you view HN?
I personally use https://hn.premii.com for the topic on the left and the conversation on the right. Customizing the colors is also nice. The drawback is there doesn't appear to be a good way to participate in the conversation.

How does everyone else ingest HN?
I've completely blanked out more than once on pair programming where my attention went into what I like to call "brute force mode", where your working memory scatters every few seconds or so, and you keep starting thoughts from scratch.

It honestly feels like torture to me.

Switching tasks lets me reset from this state well enough, so I consider it essential coping.
I recently wrote something to clarify my mind around all this [1]. If we assume that by Docker we mean the Docker engine, then I think you might compare it as you said (maybe more in terms as vim/emacs vs. Visual Studio Code as Git is a technology while GitHub is a platform).

But Docker is many things: a company, a command line tool, a container runtime, a container engine, an image format, a registry...

For measurements as accurate as this, if you sent out a fleet of these things to map the gravitational potential of the Earth by location, for example, you would find that the potential at a given location was changing all the time, so such a map wouldn't be useful for navigation.

It seems doubtful the measurements would be far off. The numbers fit with the expected 50 or so calories per mile biked.
This is it right here, a similar analogy this brought up was car manufacturers of old making an excuse that fatalities were the idiot drivers fault and not because of the inherent lack of safety features of the vehicle. It's too damn easy to make the wrong assumption in C & C++ and spend a painful amount of time debugging.

In my experience the added safety guarantees have made me more comfortable in "going faster" and back to vehicular terms the choice is still there to not fasten the seatbelt and go `unsafe`.

I suspect that more states are going to go the Colorado model. If a big one like CA or NY adopts it, most tech companies will be forced to reveal.

As to its benefits: it absolutely benefits the workers as employers will need to pre-emptively raise salaries to compete for the candidates they want.

> I thought kids could set their own boundaries with tech (like I did), but I no longer believe that's possible. The internet is like a drug

Hell, I can barely control my own urges to look up some interesting fact whenever a thought pops into my head---and for years I was the guy everyone mocked for never looking at his phone.
In the article, the victims were forced to sell assets, including a house, almost certainly at a loss, to satisfy the FBI's demands. Two years later, the money is returned. Do they get interest on that money? Did the money appreciate as quickly as the house would in Seattle's housing bubble?

As far as I can tell, frozen bank accounts continue to accrue interest at their normal rate. The relative impacts are very different.
x^4 + y^4 = z^4 is itself a great example of this.

In C, we can just specify any pair from x,y,z and the third is determined by rearranging.

In R, it's not true! (y=2 and z=1 runs into trouble.) However, there are still infinitely many solutions and they're still easy to find.

In Z, we have the solution 0,0,0.

In N, we meet disaster!

To squeeze some meaning out of this, C is in some ways nicer because it is designed for the very purpose of containing solutions to things. We only got Q because ratios aren't integers so we added them in; we got R because sqrt(2) is famously irrational so we take the completion of Q... As we go on we just sort of smooth things out and get a better behaved, richer space. The "gaps" in N can make proving things feel impossible (sometimes rightly so).
Isn’t 2.5kg / week weight loss extreme, and unhealthy or bordering impossible? It seems to be usually recommended to stay below 1kg per week, a healthy rate seems to be closer to 0.5kg/week. I’d assume that something might have been happening the first two months. Could be a measurement problem as well, that you were catching water-weight highs and then maybe changed the timing of your measurements? If you were actually losing closer to 0.8kg / week without knowing it for three months, that’d be about 10kg.

How much more are you eating exactly? Have you changed your exercise routine or physical habits? The problem with calling CICO stupid is that it’s two-thirds physics. The only way to gain mass is to eat it, and the only way to lose mass is to burn it off through RMR and exercise. There’s mountains of data demonstrating that humans gain weight when eating more than they burn, and lose it when burning more than they eat. The people who seem to lose/gain weight abnormally are just people who’s bodies burn calories in unusual ways. That’s rare and statistically unlikely, but even that still follows CICO.
majority of companies oppose transparency.

Also, transparency is not a technical issue. The people here can easily setup an Airtable spreadsheet where everyone writes the offers they are getting.

There's no such Airtable spreadsheet currently because this is a people issue - we want to know what the companies budget are but want to hold the information to ourselves without sharing that information with anyone else interviewing.

The root cause is us

I'm from the US and I skimmed past this post 6x before finally stopping and thinking about it because I had no idea what CO was. Although it's obvious in context if you're American, without context nobody would recognize state abbreviations, they're far too generic. MS ME MN MA etc could stand for so many things. I thought CO was "Chief Officer" at first.
When assets are frozen as part of a criminal case, they can't be moved or released at all by the institute holding them. At the conclusion of the criminal case, if the defendant is not guilty or the case is dropped, then they're simply unfrozen. If the defendant is found guilty, then any fines and fees will be seized from them and the remaining amount unfrozen. At all times, those assets have not moved at all. Additionally, frozen assets can be authorized to be released to pay for a defense or living expenses by the court during the case and appeals.

When assets are forfeited, they're seized by the government and just tossed somewhere likely to get lost (tons of things get lost, damaged, and stolen when seized). If you even have the money left to hire a lawyer, you might be able to contest the forfeiture. But because the assets and not you are being charged, well they don't have to try very hard to let you know of the case. In almost all cases, the assets are forfeited summarily because people can't afford to get them back or they're notified too late to find an attorney and start the process of contesting the forfeiture. This process is colloquially known as theft.

Not keeping salaries up with the market rate is standard operating procedure for most businesses. They'd rather keep your salary low and deal with turnover than give you the raise you deserve. If the market rate for your position is 50% higher than what you're making now, it doesn't matter.

You basically have two options. Ask for the raise or quit for someone who will give it to you. It doesn't have to be FAANG. As anecdata, I was severely underpaid at my previous job (Not FAANG, but still a very well-known Fortune 500 tech company), my direct manager fought for a promotion and raise for me, but they only gave me 7%. I quit a couple months later for a startup and literally doubled my salary, and made it no secret to my former employer that salary was my #1 reason for leaving.

I ended up getting a ridiculous looking Archer gx90 which is still a home router but not a cheap home router.

WebRTC has so many great implementations now! The author of the C# implementation started a really great project webrtc-echoes[0] that shows them all working together.

I've been using Linux on my work machine for nearly 5 years, and it's been great. I do cloud-based SaaS for a company that isn't exactly a tech company, but is always trying to move more in that direction.

I think it's an option many employers should consider supporting as a recruiting tool, and it makes a lot of sense if the target runtime for the software is Linux (as is the case for my company).

The thing is, any company that wants to make a serious investment in software engineering needs to have an IT department that can support the needs of developers separately from non-engineering staff.

>>absolutely untrue covid vax denialism

Yeah, So a bit of background -- Both of my brothers are fully vax'd and what not. But take my elder brother:

- Personal physician (flight surgeon) to the joint chiefs at the pentagon

- Commander of the 10th medical wing in the USAF (80,000 servicemen and families)

- Director of the entire VA for the state of AK

- Now the CMO for a large hospital group

We have a LONG history in medicine. (i personally have built multiple hospitals (tech side) but my family has been in medicine for ~80 years at this point...

Yeah, I have a heart condition, and I will NEVER get a vax due to my fear of myocarditis... (inflamation of the tissue surrounding the heart) (exacerbated if you have any form of heart disease)

denialism as you call it, requires data, TRUSTED DATA - and medications require long-term review to determine their safety.

NONE of this applies to covid vax?

Nuremburg ring a bell at all? Consent is a word, no? Have you ever consented to rape? Shall you now be forced to accept something sans data, "because we tell you to"?

I absolutely detest the idea that people who are anti vax are somehow 'wrong'

It is a messy topic, but I am not vax denialist but here is a cool fact for you:

When my middle daughter was ~3 she got the chicken pox vaccine just before we flew to chicago to build out the Salesforce Office I was managing...

After arrival in Chicago, our intention was to go to the Zoo the next day...

Late in the envening my daughter was fussing...

She got the chicken pox FROM THE VACCINE

She spent over a week in the hotel room in a calamine bath and we had to extend our trip another week because she couldnt fly due to the pox.

I personally got the chicken pox TWICE (at 6 months and at 14 years) -- AND I WAS VACCINATED.

My elder brother also expresses I should not get the vaccine.
There's a huge variation between individuals based on size, sex, and activity level. As a large, fairly active man I have to consume around 3100 kcal per day just to maintain body weight. But a small, sedentary woman might gain weight with even half that consumption.

All else being equal, resting metabolic rate doesn't tend to slow down much as we age. The notion that people in their 20s can eat as they want without gaining weight is mostly a myth. It's more likely that you don't accurately remember what you consumed and your activity level in your early 20s.

But you're breaking someone else's productive time. The way around this is (1) having enough work prepared that you can start on something else and (2) cutting your PRs well enough for them to be entire (sub-)tasks. And if you can't, maybe you need to cut smaller tasks.
Microsoft employs many people that are open-source advocates. Someone's perspective on that would not impact their status in an interview.

If anything, the reason feedback took forever to him was because someone may have asked for an exception to the interview failure so they could hire him. Large companies are behemoths and things do go wrong, mistakes are made, and Microsoft did own up to it in this case (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/winget-install-le...) but open source did not play a part in it.

Source: myself, I worked at Microsoft in a past life and did many interviews. No one cares about someone's stance on open source anymore.
Because bandwidth is cheap and people don’t use very much of it on average.

Did I read this wrong, or do you think drug patenting is a good thing? Why?
Patents do more harm than good. Ideas aren't scarce and obviously, this is abused by bad players to restrict competition. Doesn't make sense to restrict the right of someone to do a sequence of calculations on his own computer.

- Meta: only active on Meta owned social media

>You could file for the patent, but freely license it and not be a dick. You could even license it at a very modest fee and still not be a dick.

If the patent system has to rely on corporations "not being dicks" it doesn't sound like a very functional system.

Serious patent and IP reform is long overdue.
It’s just insane. I had no idea until Covid triggered the onset of type 1 diabetes in my niece. I was fortunate to spent time with her a year later. Her mother and father seemed to have aged a decade from the stress. I can only hope that the AI monitored artificial pancreas tech currently in testing is approved for general use soon. The cognitive load of monitoring and treatment is insane; the impact of any unanticipated variance so severe.

I tried FreeBSD a couple of years back, and X Windows seemed buggy. I mean, come on, this is something that should have been sorted out by now.

Maybe if one were into speed and minimalism, and didn't want a GUI, then one of the BSDs is a good idea. At the time I thought it was slower than Slackware, according to my completely unscientific evaluation. Linux may be more complex than the BSDs, but remember, a lot of resources get poured into Linux.

I'm glad that the BSDs exist, I'm just not particularly inclined to use them.
I don't know if this has changed but at some point I stopped watching LTT because my own knowledge of computing exceeded his (as far as I can tell) and I started noticing trivial technical errors in a lot of the content he made, delivered with unwarranted confidence. He's not an engineer, he got his start demoing products for tech retailers.

This is why I've long since preferred AnandTech to LTT. They employ people like Cuttress, who has a respect for scientific rigor and can go deep into the technological weeds and actually report usefully from them, whereas I feel LTT was limited mostly to surface-level observations when I watched regularly.
Honestly I hate builds like this.

I'd rock ESXI as hypervisor, and Truenas as the Storage environment.

Passthrough the SSD's and any Disk controller to TrueNas. I always recommend HDD Array to backup your primary SSD array. This could have all been avoided with ZFS, along with future worry of bitrot.

Then you can run your Primary Linux VM for Docker, and another other standalone Linux VM's you may need. You'll want to keep Truenas on a datastore connected to ESXI, but the rest of the storage back be kept on Truenas and fed back into esxi.

Not only keeps your system portable for future upgrade paths, but keeps your system reliable.

Opensource is not always the best route to take.
