> One thing recruiters can still good for is post-interview feedback. Some companies feel more comfortable giving it to recruiters than directly to you.

Echoing this. In fact, it holds true even for in-house company recruiters, as long as they feel you are a reasonable person and are comfortable disclosing it to you (without fearing that you will start causing problems due to finding out this info). Yes, even FAANG-level recruiters can be ok with that, but that's on a case by case basis.

I personally noticed that over the years (as I got better at interviewing and at communication in general), recruiters themselves would start going "technically I shouldn't be telling you this, but..." more and more frequently. And no, I never asked for "more detailed feedback", they just decided to volunteer it themselves. I can imagine that asking it directly would have been fairly awkward, ("but can you give me the real feedback instead of what you just gave me?")

And the wild thing is that they weren't bsing or just giving me generic "sorry it didn't work out, practice your algos and systems design more". They would give a pretty detailed feedback, half of which would match the stuff I already knew about my performance on those interviews (e.g., "I felt I did poorly on interview #3 due to me not being able to efficiently optimize this one approach and then maybe being a bit too vague during systems design round in the beginning"), which acted as my personal litmus test on the legitimacy of the feedback. And with the other half being brand new information that actually opened my eyes to some blindspots I've been totally missing.

The banning of Dr. R0b3rt MAl0n3 was peak irony of that rule.

(had to use l33tspeak, was insta-flagged for saying his name, bot?)

He invented the initial mRNA platform and performed the first mRNA vaccine experiments in 1989.

That info was removed from wikipedia, but here's an archived version:

https://web.archive.org/web/20210614140319/https://en.wikipe...

There's 9 patents in his name for the platforms and his name is all over the original mRNA experiments.

He was banned for misinformation regarding the Covid-19 vaccine...

I mean that the market price should not be obfuscated. I have no qualms about society choosing to subsidize certain things, but the costs should be explicitly recognized.

For example, give people access to higher education. Okay, have the government operate the higher education institutions. Or give the students cash to pay for the higher education institutions.

But do not obfuscate costs by guaranteeing all student loans with zero underwriting. (The more politically popular method since it keeps taxes low now and lets politicians say they helped people). Of course, this price obfuscation rears its ugly head in 20 to 30 years once tuition is now $50k+ per year.
I am so sorry to see you downvoted. But that is the exact sentiment as well. The number of people killed by drones in just the last decade has not even been counted because the official government policy to mark all 18+ males as targets.
>My experience outside of academia is that people use PowerPoint exactly for persuasion.

It happens in my corner of academia too, and I'm all for it. When I give a talk, I'm trying to persuade people to read my paper and ask me interesting questions about the work. The paper has all the gory details. The point of my talk isn't to duplcate the written text, but to make it accessible enough that people want to learn more.
I just remembered that they suspected this interconnect last year when they were probing AIC2 and found essentially a full unused half of the controller specifically designed for multi-die scenarios. Makes sense they can now enable that functionality with minimal changes.
Another variation I have been on both sides of: stores favoring certain channels over others. For example, a local fast-food restaurant might prioritize answering the phone for carry-out orders over in-person carry out orders.

There is a lot here I agree with. But:

> We have the luxury of precision, where most often one term means one concept or thing. A 1:1 mapping with little ambiguity. Deviating from that is almost always the wrong decision.

This is true of some words in a piece of technical writing, but not most of them. Don't allow yourself to be fooled into thinking that every word in your paper has a single clear meaning. At the same time, you're right that a writer shouldn't reach too far to find synonyms just to mix things up.

> Short, concise, to-the-point sentences. Sparing use of filler words (thus, however, ...).

"Thus" and "however" are not just filler words! Yes, they may be overused. But they also signal the conceptual relationship between one thought and the one that follows it in a clear way, at the beginning of the sentence. This allows the reader to understand how a sentence relates to the previous one before they have fully parsed and understood it.
Ouch! I always thought that was an awesome feature and didn’t know they got rid of it.
You're thinking of "splouge" (too much).
You should expect about 90% accuracy from the schematic :-) I didn't check the transistor part numbers, so I kind of guessed at NPN vs PNP. Most likely it's a PNP transistor. But the pinout could also be wrong.

These measures definitely hit many users that aren't causally responsible for the acts of their government. Some may even be in open opposition of the acts committed in their name.

Unfortunately, the latter is but a small fraction of the population. The vast majority of Russians are remaining silent. The chance that these blocks will prevent any of that group from learning about the war when they still have not been reached at this point is slim. Blocking of accounts doesn't usually prevent you from reading the news, anyway.

Russian media is downplaying the event. Making peoples' lives inconvenient has the chance of making them take notice, which is a first step.

“Smart bombs” are guided aerial bombs. No planes, no smart bombs.

No, they can't. You are confusing smart bombs with vastly more expensive weapons (probably cruise missiles.)

...and I tell my iphone to stop sending audio to the bluetooth speaker and it disconnects, then immediately reconnects, until I un-pair it. And when my wife pulls into the driveway my phone call unexpectedly switches to her car. Or my headset just announces "disconnected" in my ear in the middle of a zoom occasionally. It's positively weird how infrequently these type of things happen when you just ... plug or unplug a wire.

You're missing the point.

The music comparison is not driving to the store compared with downloading.

It's pirating to downloading legally. iTunes made it just as convenient to buy as it did to pirate, which is the main reason people pirate anything - inconvenience. Steam did exactly the same thing for PC gaming. Netflix did the same for TV and Film. (Only now stuff is split between so many streaming services pirating is becoming the path of least resistance again).
The author missed another bug, which many others do. You need a comma after Hello, as in "Hello, World!" because it's a direct address. Very, and I mean VERY few books get this right.

I love the hand hewn charm of these old boards. Now even homemade boards are designed in software so everything is very straight and regular, but with old boards you can tell everything was done by hand from the design to the layout to the assembly. Don't get me wrong, it's great that you can cad something up, send the files off, and get perfect boards in 2 days, but these old boards are the electronic equivalent to a charming, rustic, cabin in the woods.

It's not really a crucial question - the use or not in other countries doesn't change how stupid an idea it is. But, to answer you, it's mostly in former eastern block countries. It seems to be mostly funding (and technical assistance) for the Ukrainians to build their internal version of the CDC, although it seems to also act as monies to secure any leftover Soviet bioweapons.

Hm, yes, about two years ago I believe. May I ask how you ended up following up on this now?
You always need to take anything in 'opinion', 'editorial' or 'analysis' sections with a grain of salt.

That being said, bias does not automatically imply propaganda. Naturally someone raised in the UK/US is going to have a Western interpretation of actions and bias, but in most cases these are beliefs genuinely held. I'm sure as a British person I could find many areas where I disagree with you, and our particular views are coloured by cultural biases - but that does not make them propaganda IMO. Tech articles often contain ridiculous statements around encryption and the dark web, but it's most likely lack of understanding than propaganda.

I would say propaganda requires intent - usually to achieve a political aim at the behest of the government. Genuine propaganda is hard to conclusively find within the BBC - though I personally suspect some of the covid reporting contained a type of voluntary propaganda.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s Press Conference on March 9, 2022
In almost all cases, cutting off the electricity over any significant amount of time will also make it impossible to access the internet. It is therefore impossible for only the second thing to be worse than the first & second thing.
It is with sanctions as it is with war civilians, progressives, everyone will get hurdled up in it. Arguing for one but not against the other is hubris.
Thanks for this. I was following along just fine until that last sentence, which caused me to think "nope, I guess I don't follow at all".
Cutting off the electricity is less damaging.

Without electricity, no internet, to a first approximation. So I tend to disagree because one mostly entails the other.

All Javascript based web apps run on ARM Mac and Intel Mac without any rewriting or migrations. Not even with a compat layer like rosetta. When a RISCV OS gets a major browser, then most people (not HN crowd maybe) will be able to do their day-to-day work on it.

Yes stuff from 2000 doesn't run today, and yes, its unlikely that web apps will age well, but it does change how people think about software for the average user. A sufficiently large people don't care about backwards compatibility, and apple's graveyard of un-runnable software proved it.
You have to start with: What is secure?
Or I guess you might have been able to do a scriptable method that does involve re-ripping.

That is, stick a CD-RW in the drive, and write a program that would:

(1) Erase the CD-RW, then burn one album's worth of WAV files to it. (Ideally, do it accurately like with a cue sheet file.)

(2) Drive the Apple software's GUI (using AppleScript?) to enter the track metadata, re-rip, and upload.

(3) Repeat until done.

If something ejects the CD-RW, that might mess up the automation. Some drives will pull the CD back in if the tray or disc bumps into something while ejecting, so maybe a strategically-placed heavy object is enough.
The more awesome Blender gets, the more jealous I am that it's not designed for CAD.

I keep wondering if FreeCAD will eventually make these kinds of strides, or if it's better to try getting Blender to do CAD-likes stuff. I know there is a bit of CAM-like stuff floating around for Blender. But I'm always afraid that this will come up short in the long run, due to Blender's fundamentally mesh-based nature.

> It's not like Western media consistently gets it right (e.g. deaths on snake island) by reporting only the pro-Ukrainian side.

You're acting like an anti-Ukrainian position exists, to be discussed.

What position other than pro-victim would you like to see reported on, please?

It seems like you're very new here, and the only thing you've discussed is the Russia situation, or trying to make it look like it's reasonable to listen to state media to learn what's happening, by contrasting state propaganda to a disgraced magazine that was sold for a dollar to the daily beast ten years ago, then to religious extremists

Russia has invaded another country without provocation, and is shelling civilians, children's schools, hospitals, and grocery lines.

What pro-Russian spin would you like to see, specifically, please, new anonymous account? Thanks.

An aside: I am of the opinion that if websites like Facebook and Twitter don't get their fake account problem under control, laws will be coming to do it for them, and if those laws are written by politicians, it's going to go really badly for UGC websites
My AirPods Pro work well almost all the time, but notably, not 100% of the time. Everything feels like magic until the things won't pair for some reason, or there's minor gaps in the audio, or the case won't show its charge state when opening it near the phone — and there's zero UI or feedback to deal with it. It's infuriating.

Lastly, I enjoyed both wired headphones AND my Airpods when I still had my iPhone 6S. The choice between wired or wireless is a false dichotomy.

It's in our case the tree root of the index, which is always written after all the descendant pages have been written as a new revision is committed (during a postorder traversal of the new pages).

In ZFS the UberPage is called UberBlock. We borrowed some of the concepts as to add checksums in the parent pages instead of the pages itself. In ZFS they are blocks :-)

Thanks for asking.
No, they aren't, I suspect:

Ha ha. Safety in HW is expensive and nobody wants to pay for it.
Or even 1MB for the hello world app, I know. But that's because of the AppCompat (and relative) libraries.

If you program using the built in api only (this means the functions available to the target sdk, nothing newer) then your app size will be basically all assets, as code is very compact by itself.

But of course, coding is by far more complex, you are like doing native programming (although easier than c). My apps are small tools, so I can.

Oh, and don't use Kotlin. It's a wonderful language and far better than java, but horribly optimized.
Agreed, nothing sort of holding executives accountable with actual threat of prison time fixes this. Fines don’t matter once you are the winner in the market. Have to set an example and stop individuals from feeling safe when lying for companies.
I'd definitely be interested in real-world testimony but the linked article says that the "erasure temp" is 60C/140F. Your work would hopefully not be lost forever, though, because it should reappear under -10C/14F. (Along with all the mistakes you erased, I suppose)
The main issue is that the thermal camera we're using is only a few hundred pixels tall/wide, so using it for feature detection was rough when we did try that for something. For our purposes, with cameras on a solid mount, the hardcoded transformation matrix is good enough, but I think if you had better cameras and more time/more compute power, something like this could be better.

A bigger issue is that the project is running on a Pi, so just getting the image alignment running along with our face detection wouldve also been a pretty tall task if we want to stay at around ~5fps.
Any piece of advice for a computer science freshman?
Good day guys , I'm a freshman currently studying computer Science and I feel I'm lacking in the technical area ,how can I develop myself Mathematically and as a programmer,I'm currently learning python and I really love maths . any long term piece of advice for me?
Ya this seems like an awesome idea. Let devs run the type checking before they ship code, and then let the browsers run the code just as they would plain JavaScript, ignoring the types. If someone's going to use TypeScript they would be tye checking it first anyway, so no real need to check it again at the browser.
In the US I presume?

Canadians have a harder time...

In Canada/Ontario, you have to convince your doctor to give you a cholesterol test, e.g. family history. It won't be done preventively [1].

Even if you manage to get tested, if you're under 40 the doctor won't care and there will be no followup.

It is. But it's also possible with the $40 and $60 cables I mentioned. They're all active Thunderbolt 4 40Gb/s cables that measure about 2 meters long.

> No telescope is going to make direct observations of the inflationary period so I'm not sure what you mean by this.

Isn’t this an engineering problem and what we are attempting to do with gravitational wave detectors?

I know at one time it was believed gravitational waves were detected that provided direct evidence for inflationary theory but then the data was determined to be dust from the Milky Way. I thought this was still one of the major ongoing efforts in gravitational wave detection, was this ruled out?
Is a jealousy issue? Without the second line you were going to take as long as you were. Opening a second line helped people further back catch up and in some cases surpass your speed. Someone else having a quicker experience shouldn't have changed your experience.
Thanks a bunch for this. This somewhat works.

This is not an ideal solution as the length of the first "section" will be variable as they depend on how many people chose to write URLs on their posts that contain the site string.

If I cannot find a better solution, I will live with this. I will randomly pick up a page and click on that- if all the results are text posts on HN, I will go further right. If they appear to be links, then I will go left until I find the first one- like a sorting algorithm.

Thanks, anyway.
I can only speculate.

I would push back on the idea that they would not have to ground the Shuttle. If they thought the foam could cause a loss of crew, they would ground the Shuttle until they fully understood the problem. That's exactly what happened in the aftermath of Columbia.

>Why didn't they go back and test with 'real world' foam sizes?

That's exactly what they did after the incident (while the Shuttles were grounded). If you're asking why didn't they do that beforehand, my assumption is they already had a model that they felt they could use. According to the subject PPT slides, they even thought that model was overly conservative. In addition, while foam-shedding was out of spec, it was considered "in family" meaning that they knew of the issue and felt like it was not a flight safety issue. Both their physical and mental models of the phenomena were, at best, incomplete but they didn't know that at the time.

We're only 15 days into this conflict and it's already the largest war in Europe since 1945. It's highly unlikely that we've seen the peak of the conflict. The recent concerns on fighter jet deployment to Ukraine likely indicate that the EU and US are concerned that Russia may yet escalate further.
Highly recommend The Border Trilogy as well as No Country for Old Men. The Coen Brothers did a fantastic job adapting the latter, but it just can't compare to the book.
This is just the classic problem of mixing technical terms (like information) and using dictionary definitions. Personally, I believe they intend to say the same thing as you. What they are trying to say is that the lower the entropy, the more similar to a Dirac function. In their mind, this means you know exactly what the distribution is and hence "informative". But, as you point out, that just means you already know everything which is the exact opposite of information. In the context of Wordle, guessing a word with 0 entropy would be a wasted guess as you would have all the previous words remaining. That is, guessing a word that has already been guessed. How informative!
