Curious how this will work with more complex cases? E.g. distributed systems, concurrency safety, etc. Also, how do you deal with solutions that don't compile but are 95% of the way there conceptually? I find that's a common occurrence in non-FAANG settings that generally would still mean a pass to the next round (sometimes even with strong perf ratings).

And how do you prevent someone from cheating if there's no engineer there on the interview?

Language nerds can be as weird/passionate as tech nerds. Plenty of people who will translate things for either language politics reasons (dislike of English as the lingua franca) or for fun.

Which character do you have to kill to make him cooperative again?

Half joke, since too many RPGs have killing (or something equivalent) as their primary interaction. Geralt of Rivia must have extinguished the wolf population of entire countries, a band of Pokémon trainers would devoid an entire forest of animals to level up their pikachus, etc.

That's not true, Macron explicitly stated he's open sharing the responsibility and power of French nuclear power with the EU.

I'm a parent. Y/N
I'm adopted. Y/N

With that out of the way, people need to realize that the adoption pool is biased to kids with severe issues. Mostly because some portion of kids were places on adoption because of genetic issues, and the rest will probably develop issues as a result of adoptio. Only the very best of parents are even considering adoption from said pool.

I was surprised the failure rate is only ~5%. We can hope for better but -i think- 5% can be celebrated.

usb4 still preserves a legacy usb2 connection pair.

on the one hand it's kind of absurd. on the other, a long distance capable, supported everywhere wire protocol is great to be able to assume. displayport's aux channel is a great example of why keeping legacy connectivity around on a second track: it makes lowhgrade kvm like connectivity ultra easy & low cost. it's, ultimately, a pretty good thing that the 480mbit/s pipe is available for use by cheap & common devices. i dont see what else we could do.

(aside from mandate that each usb-4 hub integrate a usb-2 over usb-4 adapter like this on each port, which probably makes sense, but also probably would be uncertifiable, would be likely to cause some random device misbeaviors... whitequark will probably have found a dozen random constraints by the end of the week to this chip.)
Sure, but can you prove it to the public in enough certainty to declare war? No. Suppose it was Russian flag, they could very easily just claim they were framed - and they very likely could’ve been.

Yes, Joyent was the one that totally screwed the pooch on that.

I had a few lifetime plans with them. One was with TextDrive, before the Joyent acquisition/merger and that was their shared hosting plan back when they were doing everything on FreeBSD. Then after the merger they did a sort of pre-VPS type plan where it was using Solaris Containers. Those were really cool little boxes.

I also had one of their Strongspace lifetime plans, and that still exists as Expandrive bought them and continues offering the lifetime plans.

Edit: oh, and for how it was ended, Joyent was purchased by Samsung (I think it was) and to get the lifetime stuff off the books they basically forced everyone onto their VPS-like solution but only for ~2 years I think it was. So everything disappeared.

> If your response to someone publicly calling out your bad behaviour is to try ushering them into an alley where nobody can see, that speaks volumes about your intent.

When people speak to individuals they speak differently than when they speak to a crowd. Callout culture is the manipulation of a direct conversation into a crowd conversation. In some ways that could work in a users favor but in other ways it could also work against them in that it makes the company drop any (if it existed) personal speech in favor of guarded corporate speak.

While I think that users engaging in callout culture is fairly toxic, I think that what it really highlights is our need for a better system for arbitration. With most tech products there is no system for arbitration and the human-based support systems are scarce. All that to say, I don't really think either party here is engaging in "good behavior", if we're going to be playing behavior police. It's also somewhat likely that some of these bad outcomes are egged on simply by reverting to callout culture.

The middleground I've seen to this is where companies provide a transcript or recording of interactions. That puts the user and the company on equal footing while reducing the chance of brigading and other bad behavior commonly used on Twitter.
Any other sources on this yet? This, if real, is big enough there should be multiple news articles.

Not sure - I recommend just using Invidious for this. Host your own private instance on a small computer at home. Put it on a random domain/port and it's unlikely to be discovered so you don't even need auth.
Appreciate it tons! And yes, making this experience feel "native" and familiar is one of our primary focal points. In the context of an interview, any slight deviation of an expected form factor can contribute to nervousness or loss of candidate performance, which is why we're trying to make sure that dev env spin up is quick (eventually <60s), coding environment is familiar (VSCode or JetBrains), and submissions are familiar (probably just Git). For employers, we still have lots of work to do to ensure the signals collected integrate well with popular ATS's like Greenhouse or Lever.
I don't think it's disingenuous, because there's a material difference between the approaches in 2011 and 2016. In 2011 we had no doubt about what we were voting on, Parliament had already debated it. In 2016 the vote was had with no confirmed details and Parliament then needed to work out exactly what the public wanted.

They're both done now so I'm not saying this because I think the outcomes should be revisited, but I hope we can learn from them for any future referendums.
> Currently only 8% of CO2 generation is from Concrete.

So I have this conversation with coworkers all the time. Thinking in fractions of the status quo is a logic trap, and most of us fall into it.

As Gretzky famously said, "skate to where the puck is going to be."

We need to halve our CO2 emissions. That means concrete is 16% of the target. That is way too large of a fraction to ignore. We will not get where we are going if we don't look at this, and hard. 1/6th of our target is practically a call to action. 8% is more likely to invite foot dragging.

If you lose your job and have to change careers, it doesn't matter if your fancy car is 12,15,18% of your current monthly expenses. What matters is that it's now 40% of what you have available to spend, and you simply cannot be spending that much on a car. Getting rid of the car is more important that weening yourself off of a daily Starbucks run, steaks, or starting to use coupons.

We cannot be spending 1/6th of all carbon output on concrete. Especially if we're going to make suggestions that involve huge increases on concrete usage.

I wish as a species we could all wrap our heads around this. It gets really old explaining to people that they need to look at the thing that is taking 5% of run time because it's "only 5%" when rationally it should be using .25% of resources and thus it's taking 20x as long as it has any right to be. They won't look at it until overall runtime is down 25% and now we are creeping up on double digits. It's a delaying tactic, and we can't wait for other people to do their part before we start on ours. These are not ordered lists.
I remember this.

This is why we’re hesitant - the bad behavior in this area of pricing and promotion makes any offer like this seem scammy …

All I read about are nuclear reactors getting more and more expensive to where they aren’t even feasible when they are completed. Why would these escape that?

> Among the surprising findings in the study, which covered 50 years of U.S. nuclear power plant construction data, was that, contrary to expectations, building subsequent plants based on an existing design actually costs more, not less, than building the initial plant.
This is so dumb. We don't need extra made-up stress on people on top of the real shit we have to deal with.

You do realize the issue isn't technological (blockchain is a technology after all), it's regulatory. The reason people say blockchain "solves" this "problem" is that it renders regulation much harder through cryptography. This is why I would expect cryptocurrencies to "come to a bad end," to quote Warren Buffett. Government regulation exists for a reason.
I prefer to use Twitter over email for customer support inquiries because it creates a public record for others to discover similar to the Q&A section of product detail pages on e-commerce sites. I may not need to ask a support question at all if the answer is already provided via a Twitter search.
But if said people want to clutch their pearls about the “evil monopolistic capitalist”, they should be willing to make the sacrifices and not use those services, work for companies that use those services or work for VC funded companies who are hoping to be bought out by those companies.

It's a terrible, terrible idea. Whatever ecological balance that has asserted itself in this area of slightly-higher-density particulates (pepper flakes of plastic, the article calls them) will be greatly disturbed by running nets through the water to indiscriminately collect whatever.

The top meter of the ocean contains most of it's life. So they're attempting, what, to sterilize the top meter? Remove whatever material the microorganisms have fastened onto to reproduce? To turn it's balance upside down by straining? What?

Nothing useful, that's for sure.
Of course, "the western IP regime" didn't become ubiquitous because of these kinds of coercive practices even if some of them have happened historically. They happened because both sides saw a benefit. Of course, even absent malicious coercion, power imbalances can remain, but invoking "fairness" implies some objective (or otherwise agreeable) standard which patently doesn't exist. Just say you wish Russia (or whomever) had more negotiating power if that's what you mean. The closest we can get to an objective standard is: each side can freely (i.e., absent malicious coercion) choose for themselves.

MacOS is really bad abut this sort of thing. It fails on discoverability. For instance, how do you navigate to a hidden folder in the file-selection dialog? There is no option to show hidden, and there is no place to input the exact path. You must know two things to proceed: That there is a secret hotkey to allow exact path specification, and what that hotkey is. It took me years to learn that there was a hotkey -- I just assumed that it was not possible.
"This is where I did a spit take."

That's understandable. 470 MW is not "small." It's over 50% of the size of conventional PWRs. Also 470 MW is probably not sufficient for "one million homes." It might be sufficient for one million small efficiency apartments, assuming they are well built, equipped with modern appliances and not over occupied. But a conventional detached residential structure is 1 KW+. That's without charging any electric vehicles.

Marketing exaggerations aside, good to see at least some innovation in nuclear design. The design anticipates factory built reactor vessels, which is a fundamental improvement.
I suspect Russia won't respect Ukraine's restriction on men leaving the country. And I suspect Ukrainian borderguards won't be anywhere close to the Russian-controlled border.
Considering nuclear is by far the most expensive source of energy that seems like dream based on unicorns and fuzzy warm feelings. In reality, nuclear is as dead as coal due to the steam based thermodynamic cycle.

Doing the best you can has a ceiling, my friend!

You sound like a very thoughtful and caring person. These are qualities that can make you an excellent leader and an excellent ambassador for the good of your customers. Trust in yourself .

Maybe consider starting your own business if you feel you’re not able to utilize your skill set best for the customers. That might not be best though, I don’t know your situation. It sounds like a confidence issue, and you sound like a younger professional getting started. Keep at it, and take good care of yourself.

Ask HN: U.S. worker receiving stock options from Canadian startup
The four tax lawyers I've spoken to on an "advice" basis seem to think this is a complicated situation that calls for a specialist. Unfortunately, I haven't found a specialist who I can afford. And the ones I can afford have not been able to guarantee me that they can actually help me.

So, after a week of research, I'm asking HN in case anyone has been in a similar situation. Many thanks in advance.

The situation:

I'm a U.S.-based worker who has recently been hired on to a Canadian startup, and my hiring package includes stock options that vest over a four-year period. The exercise price on these options is set to the current fair market value. (That FMV is based, I imagine, on the valuation set by the pool of private investors -- this is not a publicly traded company).

My Questions:

(1) Do these options qualify for an 83(b) election? And if so, when do I file that? Some experts seem to say you don't file an 83(b) election on stock options until you exercise those options. Others seem to say that for options I should file for 83(b) election within 30 days of "grant date" (i.e. now).

(2) I'll assume the answer to the above is that I cannot file an 83(b) election until I exercise the options (e.g. at minimum one year from today). Does this mean that, at the time of vesting, if I think the value of the company will increase, I should exercise these options as soon as they vest (and file an 83(b))?

(3) Given that the FMV and strike price are equivalent at time of grant (now), do I need to do anything tax-wise this year? I imagine not, since there is not yet any inherent "value" to these options.

(4) Do I need to be aware of any double-taxation implication, since this is a Canadian-based company and I'm a U.S. worker?

(5) Is there anything else I'm overlooking here where I might curse myself down the road if I don't take action on?
Thanks for the correction. I may have not read carefully enough.

That's a psychological trick. I got my first iPhone ever this week, so let me tell you about my experience.

One of the first text messages I ever sent via iMessage, it defaulted to texting the user's "home" phone number in the contact card, even though they had another number listed under "mobile" (and they have an iPhone themselves)!

The only reason I noticed was because the text message in iMessage was a green bubble, not blue. Then, I figured out that in iMessage you can't long-press on a message to see metadata about it (i.e. exact date/time sent, and to/from what number, like you can on Android).

The message silently failed in a stupid way, and I had basically no way of knowing anything save for the fact that I happened to be aware of green/blue bubble and knew what type of phone this person had.

Aside from that, I have noticed the little app bar on the iMessage keyboard will just disappear from time to time, inexplicably. The only way to get it back is to reopen iMessage.

I didn't want to enable Face ID, but I caved and did it because it's the only way to install free apps from the app store without requiring your Apple ID password every 15 minutes (my password is long, for security reasons... I figured I'd at least be able to just enter the phone PIN, but no!) Now I'm stuck with Face ID as a mechanism of authentication that I frankly don't want. Face ID isn't continuous, so if someone snatches your phone, points your camera at you, and runs, your phone is now unlocked for them to do whatever they will.

I don't think their software is actually that good, unless you stay precisely in the box they want you to stay in. The second you deviate from that, the experience is utter garbage. And if something DOES go wrong in their walled garden, good luck figuring it out. You literally have no ability to.

Your experience is a consequence of software that is largely inflexible and when stuff goes wrong, Apple just pretends it never happened.
> Do you really want to have to worry about the US acting as an enemy

That's already on the cards, as Trump so helpfully demonstrated. Also, the US cooperates with Japan, SK and other countries without them being in NATO, so I don't see why they'd consider an EU Army as an enemy if they're strategically alined - and if they're not, it won't change anything because the Americans will do whatever they want anyway.

So yes, all for an EU Army that doesn't rely on the US.
The satellite layer is probably very custom and requires specific skills and initial recon work which could be visible and risky. In contrast, getting access to the management network and sending intentionally-malformed configurations or firmware updates to the terminals is much easier and doesn't require any satellite-specific knowledge. The satellite terminals (at least the router part of it) are just standard Linux embedded devices, so no special skills required.

If your objective is to disable the devices like they've done, attacking the "easy" layer is enough so why waste time on unnecessary complexity? Of course they might well have also done recon on the satellite side and collected valuable data they can use in the next round.
What does "streaming buffers" mean? splice() avoids copying data from kernel to userspace and back; it stays in the kernel, and often isn't even copied at all, only page references are passed around.
Wonderful. Back to 1917.
Although this would be an interesting way to drag some of my old NTFS filesystems kicking & screaming into the 21st century, I'd never do one of these in-place conversions again. I tried to go from ext3 to btrfs several years ago - and it would catastrophically fail after light usage. (W're talking less than a few hours of desktop-class usage. In retrospect I think it was `autodefrag/defragment` that would kill it.) I tried that conversion a few times and it never worked, I think I even tried to go from ext3->ext4->btrfs. This was on an Arch install so (presumably) it was the latest and greatest kernel & userspace available at the time.

I eventually gave up (/ got sick of doing restores) and just copied the data into a fresh btrfs volume. That worked "great" up until I realized (a) I had to turn off CoW for a bunch of things I wanted to snapshot, (b) you can't actually defrag in practice because it unlinks shared extents and (c) btrfs on a multi-drive array has a failure mode that will leave your root filesystem readonly; which is just a footgun that shouldn't exist in a production-facing filesystem. - I should add that these were not particularly huge filesytems: the ext3 conversion fiasco was ~64G, and my servers were like ~200G and ~100G respectively. I also was doing "raid1"/"raid10" style setups, and not exercising the supposedly broken raid5/raid6 code in any way.

I think I probably lost three or four filesystems which were supposed to be "redundant" before I gave up and switched to ZFS. Between (a) & (b) above btrfs just has very few advantages compared to ZFS. Really the only thing going for it was being available in mainline kernel builds. (Which, frankly, I don't consider that to be an advantage the way the GPL zealots on the LKML seem to think it is.)
