It's more that if the only thing stopping you is that you've realized you want to work in a different field[0] then while getting that degree may not be necessary or even useful for itself, it does just make a lot of things easier and more straight forward further down the line.

Any time you have a situation where people are filtering large number of candidates impersonally, from hiring to immigration to dating apps, some of the time you'll be blocked for not having a college degree.

Sure, you can find plenty of start-ups or other smaller shops to apply to; maybe you'd even prefer to work for people who can see past a degree or lack thereof. If your life falls out that you can't get a degree or just have better options on the table than starting or finishing a degree-granting program, it's not the end of the world, you have plenty of options and opportunity. But it's still probably worthwhile to keep all the options you can if it's relatively little extra cost.

I've also found Hugo's docs hard to use, but had a great experience learning it from

Kytch built a device that gave the ice cream machines remote debugging. They sold them to franchises. McDonalds got weird about this and told franchises that they weren't safe, and that they've got a new ice cream machines that already has that feature. Then McDonalds reached out to other companies and said not to use the startup's device. The startup wants $900M because "that's what we would've been worth" if McDonalds hadn't scared everybody off.

It sounds like Kytch wants to be a legal thorn in McDonald's side until they are paid off. How can a startup afford this? Do they work out some agreement with lawyers to only pay when they win?

> Open source does not mean "gratis". See for example this historic order form of software offered by the Free Software Foundation:

That's the example that's been shown for the last 30 years, Richard Stallman making a buck selling copies of Emacs and GCC during a period in the 80s and early 90s, when infrastructure constraints made it cheaper, or feasible in the first place, for the user to order software to be shipped on physical media rather than downloading it from the net.

Either there are no more examples of businesses that have lived off selling copies of Free desktop software, or the FSF really doesn't care enough to look for one in the last 20 years.

Yes. It only makes sense to allow quarterly ads. The money involved is tiny and it fits the idea of the site.

This is similar to what I call the "red sock in the wash theory".

When I was growing up (back in the 1970's) my Dad insisted that my Mom do his shirts for him (back then all men had to wear a white shirt and tie to work). My Mom suggested that he should take them to the cleaners like everyone else does. But my Dad insisted that it would save money if she did them for him. She dutifully complied but "accidentally" put a red sock in the wash with them so they came out pink. Of course, in those days, a man wearing a pink shirt would be considered a "sissy" or whatever.

After that, my Dad did his work shirts himself a few times then realized it was a hassle and used the cleaners ever after that.
> Where did I say that the invasion is not happening?

You said the outrage over Russia's invasion was a product of the US. Since the US isn't in control of Russia's actions, the implication is the US is misrepresenting what's happening. You doubled down on this with your "Whatever is happening" nonsense.

Ukraine: Putin has already carried out war crimes – Boris Johnson
Just like ‘literally’ now means ‘not literally’, folks keep changing things when it suits them.

Some schools literally don’t give less than a B anymore, and that some would make anyone with an ‘A’ valedictorian is a real thing. According to this [https://www.campusexplorer.com/student-resources/what-is-a-v...] article I ran across, Stratford High School near Houston gave 30 students valedictorian in 2010, and I doubt that has gotten much better.

Think of it as ‘scam innovation’ - the first ones to do it get major rewards (for schools it would be acceptance at better institutions for their students), then it spreads as more people figure it out, it hurts the legit folks, then folks start adjusting for it to try to tamp down the scamming.
Rather than contribute to improving the documentation, why not spend hours creating a web site and blog post flaming about the problem instead?

Ask HN: What would the impact be of Europe to America undersea cables being cut?
Putin has previously stated the goal of seperating Europe and the US.

There was recently a suspicious faliure of the undersea cable between Norway and a key arctic satelite ground station.[1]

So I'm wondering, what would the consequences be if the Atlantic cables connecting Europe with America experienced a sudden faliure?

How much would it inhibit things like say Telegram within Europe?

Is there anything we can do to mitigate these risks?

I agree nuclear winter might not occur or not be all that impactful, however you still will have mass starvation as all supply chains will just disappear, including fuel for power plants. Cities will not be able to supply food and sustain themselves unless in very rare and specific scenarios.

This sounds neat.
Over a decade ago I had a laptop but no internet at home. This was one of the ways I taught myself programming (and also downloading dozens of manga) by using internet explorer at a cafe which had an option to save to mhtml which was one file and had everything self contained. Legit owe a portion of my success to this. I still have some of these files, old crusty hello world c++ tutorials etc.
Ideal documentation has interlinked sections that serve different purposes.

For instance right now I am writing up a report on a research project I did a year ago (shouldn't have waited) and now facing the problem of running the scripts. Some of them are well documented but some aren't. Whether it is you or somebody in your pod who has to do it, there is a need for "runbook" documentation so you can do tasks such as building and deploying software correctly and easily.

There's also a need for reference documentation that explains everything systematically, even that tends to need multiple forks -- for the Spring framework there is all of the Javadocs, but the Javadocs are not sufficient to explain the concepts that Spring is built around.

Then there are the pedagogical examples that make doing something tricky look easy and link the implementation to the concepts involved.

I'd point to the Python documentation as a particularly good example. I never feel tempted to look outside the official Python documentation to look up anything that's involved in the core language.

Somehow I don't find the documentation for pandas to be effective, largely because I perceive the ways of doing things in pandas to be idiosyncratic, so I find myself looking up answers on random web sites a lot more often than I feel comfortable with. If I used pandas everyday I might feel differently, but I usually end up doing a burst of data analysis work for a few days and then go a few months w/o using pandas.
Plastic pollution: Green light for 'historic' global treaty
parents point is that operating the machines regularly is of no interest to mcdonalds (likely bad margins) and its only interested in ensuring other niche fast food restos dont start to take up market share instead.

ie: if i want icecream i can get it at macdonalds, instead if DQ, unless the machines are broken. if DQ gains significant market share they "fix" the machines and DQ loses its market share.

not saying this is fact. just fleshing out parents
Thank you! Also found this:

"Production is expected to take several months, and sea mail from China to me should take 1-2 additional months."
Can this be adapted to the Kubernetes ecosystem?
I think it is less a matter of intent and more a matter of incentives. McDonald's is probably perfectly happy to be selling more ice-cream and make money that way. But they just don't care about maintenance (franchise reasonability) and it isn't impacting the bottom line significantly, so nobody really wants to fix the contracts and/or vendor performance issues. If there was a better competitor out there, McDonalds might use them, but they just don't care enough (meaning aren't incentivized enough) at the corporate level.
That gun is not for protection my friend
I think most responses are going to be sent to the email listed I the CV, not comment replies.

This is just a guess. I don't bother posting there because I'm not that interested in working for most startups due to family responsibilities and the fact that my area doesn't have a lot of good IT options (remotes not a great fit for me when coming up to speed, and relocating is not an option).
Yep, lawyers can take cases on either for a small fee + percentage of any settlement, or even just entirely on the chance of a win.

The hope is to threaten McDonalds for a billion dollars (pinky) and get a settlement for a few million out of court and wrap things up quietly.

Happens more often than you'd like.

But russia is a democracy though. The problem with living in a "cozy democracy" is that you are brainwashed far worse than those living in "authoritarian" countries like russia, china, etc.

Have you ever considered that most russians, chinese, etc support their governments? Do you think when most russians hear NATO is expanding into ukraine, they're celebrating? Do you think everytime we antagonize china with taiwan, the chinese population celebrates it?

What's incredibly contemptuous is the idea that russians, chinese, iranians, etc don't have any agency. On average, I'd say russians, chinese, iranians, etc are better educated, smarter and politically aware than the brainwashed masses in a "cozy democracy" - whatever that means.

Keep in mind this thing is made basically entirely out of metal (it’s extremely heavy for a keyboard) and uses a different mechanism for keys than current mechanical keyboards. Look up what a “buckling spring” keyboard is. Like I said in another comment I managed to get one of these (after a VERY long time from ordering) and it’s definitely not the same as mechanical keyboards you’d buy elsewhere. Satisfying to type on, but super loud (which I like), and a little bit of a weird layout which I think is because of replicating the original Model M/F. If you’re happy with your keyboard there’s no reason to buy this one.

The Swiss and Finnish geographies are uniquely suited to holding out against a much larger force. Ukraine has to try to do that now, but that doesn't make it a good strategy for them to have planned on.

(The other thing that makes Swiss neutrality work is that the bulk of the resources that they have that matter are human, and therefore hard to claim when conquered.)
Why would you want to work somewhere where you are rejected for what you are ? Just say you've got a girlfriend if it's coming in the conversation and if you don't get the job because of it, well, you just avoided working for years in a toxic environment.
I'm a Cold War kid and as such grew up under the specter of all-out nuclear war. We were constantly told that in 30 minutes, which is supposedly the amount of time for a Russian ICBM to hit U.S. targets, it could all be over. We all realized that when you get the warning that the bombs are coming then make that the best 30 minutes of your life!

Seriously, if they launch, they launch. There's absolutely nothing you, I or anyone else can do about it.

Now, if you want some consolation consider this: back in the 90's the U.S. did a launch-readiness test. Something on the order of 90% of U.S. silos could not be opened far enough to enable launch. That's on top of another 20%-30% of the missiles not being able to launch because of their age and the state of their rocket fuel. Then even if you can open the silo and launch the missile there will be crews who will refuse to launch. If you can open the silo, launch the missile, and the crew is willing to launch then you still have the problem that their navigation systems will miss their target. Finally, if you can open the silo, have a crew willing to launch, successfully launch the missile, the navigation system successfully steer the missile to the intended target there's always the possibility the bomb won't detonate. Keep in mind were discussing this about weapons systems that were deployed 50-60 years ago. Oh, and keep in mind we've developed missile defense systems since then - further depressing the odds that any of the nukes will be able to strike their intended targets.

In short, it's saber rattling. Putin is humiliated by the poor performance of his army and is terrified the West will realize the Russian Bear has no claws or fangs and is using the threat of nuclear war to ensure the West doesn't try to counter invade upon seeing how weak Russia really is.
It is kind of terrifying to realize that large portions of the third world are soon going to become so hot that it will be impossible to do any sort of physical exertion outside for large parts of the day without putting yourself at risk for heat stroke. That's at lower warming scenarios. At even higher temps it becomes damned near impossible to live without AC (which many in the third world don't have)
The problem with this type of sanctions is that they are only going to work once, no country on the periphery of "polite society" is going to put their faith on any of these institutions going forward. The strength of these types of global payments systems is that they are global and neutral. If they stop being neutral soon enough they will stop being global.

I don't think India makes this "penance for primordial sins" argument.

There's a current high correlation between somebody's caste and somebody's socio-economic status which is reservation is supposed to solve. It has loopholes surely and in some parts of the country, completely useless. But overall it is effective in increasing social mobility and social cohesion.
It's been a while, but I'd sum it up as:

I want to do A, B, C. Now I need to find out how A,B,C are called in hugo, how they relate to each other, which mandatory concepts D,E they depend on, how those relate to each other and then, if everything would be perfectly written, I might understand it.

I actually think it's a good reference. If you know what an archetype is and what you can do with it, just forgot the syntax? Bingo. To grasp what its good for? Not so much.

Maybe if someone collected a bunch of actual problems of "How do I ...?" and made them into a really good FAQ, that might help?

That said, I also don't have a solution - I think they've succumbed to feature creep a little too much. In the quest to let every non-programmer be able to tweak every single thing, now the non-programmer needs to learn a DSL.

UPS Advanced Technology Group | Multiple Roles (vision, MLOps, embedded, MechE) | Full-Time | Onsite | Atlanta, GA

Hi HN! We're the UPS Advanced Technology Group, a small, nimble, hands-on advanced R&D team within UPS. We're building out a ML-centric hardware and software technology suite to solve a critical UPS operational challenge on a short time-frame, and are hiring for a number of positions across robotics, MLOps and ME.
Open positions:

- Research scientist (CV): https://www.jobs-ups.com/job/atlanta/research-scientist-comp...

- Research scientist (ML Ops): https://www.jobs-ups.com/job/atlanta/research-scientist-mlop...

- Research scientist (Robotics): https://www.jobs-ups.com/job/atlanta/research-scientist-robo...

- R&D mechanical engineer: https://www.jobs-ups.com/job/atlanta/r-and-d-mechanical-engi...

- Associate research scientist (ML Ops): https://www.jobs-ups.com/job/atlanta/atg-ml-ops-supervisor/1...

- Technical fellow - robotics (grad co-op, MS degree min): https://www.jobs-ups.com/job/atlanta/associate-robotics-scie...

We're very supportive of remote work when feasible, but some of our work is necessarily in-person (e.g. building hardware at our rapid prototyping lab, field testing during pilots). We're based in fabulous Atlanta, GA - come join us!
My attitude is that everything other than the core framework is crap. That is, spring-your-life-wouldnt-be-meaningful-without-this-set-of-broken-abstractions-for-some-api inevitably makes your life worse than directly engaging the API with Spring or building spring-correct-abstraction-for-api yourself.

It's a very toxic thing that Spring wasted it's brand to endorse a bunch of thin low quality packages.

>Kytch has argued that Taylor was incentivized to keep its machines broken; repair and maintenance contracts across its business lines accounted for a quarter of the company's revenue stream in 2018, according to a document Taylor published at the time. But Kytch cofounders Nelson and O'Sullivan admit that doesn't explain why McDonald's would similarly seek to prevent a fix for its embarrassing—and expensive—ice cream machine failure rates.

This is strange. Another comment mentioned how the existence of these broken ice-cream machines is anti-competitive towards businesses like Dairy Queen. Does this explain why the machines are always broken? Taylor gets repair contracts that are worth less than the business McDonalds would lose to Dairy Queen?

As much as his speeches remind of Hitler's, this is not on record yet by either side. Though if it happens, it would be too late.

> They do not, as some academics have long imagined, have eternal interests or permanent geopolitical orientations, fixed motivations or predictable goals.

Ukraine and NATO have reportedly been points of contention for years. (Edit: the utter surprise that interests voiced before are indeed actionable interests looks either hypocritical or ignorant; this of course in no way justifies the validity of those interests, to speak nothing of the methods in which they are asserted.)
> But if there is no DQ in the area, why operate the machine?

Why operate the grill or fryer? To sell food and make money. Instead of selling someone a meal for $7 McDonalds can sell them a meal + a mcflurry for $10. Why wouldn't they want to do this?

It doesn't make any sense that a bunch of franchise owners are all in together on some kind of ice cream conspiracy. Surely the truth is less interesting, it's most likely just a boring cost/benefit analysis. There seems to be some flaw with the machines they use that make them particularly prone to breaking down and difficult to maintain. So some stores that don't sell a lot of ice cream anyway decide it's not worth the cost of keeping them running, while other stores that sell more do keep them running.

And surely it's no coincidence that the markets where people buy more ice cream are also where Dairy Queen stores are more likely to open up.
