I did try to tell them that. I answered almost all their questions, including going really deep on garbage collection.

I got a comment elsewhere from a former JPMC development manager about their hiring practices.

That looks great.

Could you please elaborate a little bit more about your interbanking network, your connection to these etc.?
How do you route from UK to Australia, e.g.? To EU?

Do you support instant payments on any of yours connections? If yes, which scheme(s) do you support?
This forced 1:1 is the worst..
Since macOS does not have /dev/full, I think what is actually happening here is your bash shell fails to create a file named "full" in "/dev" and so the bash shell exits with an error; this has nothing to do with node.js.
I'm using pipewire and pipewire-pulse in void linux, and everything works perfectly.
Did that do much? I know a Voodoo 2 could be SLI'd but first I've heard about this working on a Voodoo 1.

I miss those days. I went from a P133 with 72mb RAM (bought a load of RAM cheap in '98) to a P3 500 with a TNT2 Ultra and 128mb RAM in 1999. Technology progressed at an insane rate.

Edit, I had a K6-2 500MHz in one machine around that kind of time too. Wasn't as good as the P3 personally though but was cheap and reasonable. Started me off down the path of using AMD CPUs in my builds (Duron, Athlon, Sempron) until I started moving away to Mac laptops predominantly (which coincided with finishing university and writing software for a living)!.
It would be more interesting if the post shows how to detect that error. (and how the other language examples look, at least on mobile I dont see them)
Yeah mental health is really a catch-all term and it is much more complicated than that since the body and the mind are intertwined.

On people not listening nor understanding and making remarks about making it up or being lazy, it is hard when one's feelings and thoughts are not being validated.

This is just logistics. US if free to fly them back to Poland, land on the highway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qhh1UyBa3Ew in front of the crossing and push those planes on wheels over the border.

The point is US politicians have been making Poland look bad for the last week running from paper to TV station telling everyone how everything is almost agreed and its all in Poland hands and why are they stalling?
For what it’s worth, I didn’t get any snark from your comment at all.

I share your takeaway about keeping the resume updated. It’s the single biggest, low effort improvement I can make.
This is why I love HN. Brilliant theory and one I want to circulate but might... no will... need to replace 'toaster fucker' with something more PC to avoid a call from the HR robots.

> In just a few years we saw the Intel Pentium II and Celeron (insane overclock), the AMD K6/K6-2, along with discrete 2D/3D GPUs like 3dfx Voodoo3 and Nvidia GeForce.

Don't forget the race to 1Ghz. Intel and AMD spent those years doubling core clock speeds every year. If you bought a system in 1996 and replaced it in 2000 the CPU might be four or more times faster. For some things that was a real geometric increase in computing power.
Is this only for GBP into other currencies?I use Wise to transfer from my Canadian bank into my Spanish one, would Atlantic.money work for me? Most of the fees I pay are for my Canadian bank to get the money into the Wise system, but this still seems cheaper.
China isn't that disconnected, the question is how many know English which accomplishes most of their goals. Many IT Russians know English and they are fleeing the country.

Military US intervention is dumb at the current time. US is near China to protect Taiwan, intervening for Russia would be an overreaction at this point.

Europe can handle this if it escalates, Russia isn't that powerful in their army as their propaganda claims.

In practice, they sold most of their modern equipment to have money. Europe didn't need that.

Just look at the numbers, eg. GDP. Russia is way overreaching it's hand.

It isn't the Soviet era no more when it was somewhat equal to the US.

I don't like this situation either and it's cruel. But crunching the numbers, knowing that their equipment is mostly of the Soviet era and not maintained + ignoring propaganda makes it more 'comfortable' to not 'overreact'. Eg. Who will even maintain their tech systems? The people that know English ( and can use it to learn) are fleeing the country. I see thousands of Russian tech people trying to get out of the country mostly to Europe/Canada.

There is no one to immediately replace them. solely learning English takes long enough and that's just a single bottleneck they are experiencing now.
We're hearing average people are most interested in transfers of fiat currency between bank accounts. In our research, we could use crypto in our central treasury for conversion or cross-border transactions, but the fiat ⭤ crypto onramp and offramp steps remain so those transfers are not quite instant or free. But if there's a way to use crypto to make our transfers faster and cheaper, I'm all ears :)
Sparks and Prairie Fires: A Theory of Unanticipated Political Revolution (Paper) [pdf]
Lived in Moscow almost all of my life, have been a political activists for a few years, have 30+k subscribers on my Russian political tik-tok account. I talk to a lot of Russians both online and offline. The support and bloodthirst is real, I'd say at about 60% support this war. Russians saying that "we should just nuke the states and kill them all" are not something out of the ordinary.
Odd - guessing there was some client-side caching at play in my HN reader app.
> The discrepancies in Gannett’s ad auctions were discovered by Braedon Vickers, an independent ad industry researcher. He worked with Adalytics, a firm that helps brands analyze where their ads appear, to study the issue.

So you have to pay someone to figure out how to place the ads, then hire someone else to ensure they were placed appropriately.

What a shitshow.
Yeah, it was a massive, massive disaster. The expenses associated with the new (hopefully) cold war will make europe weak and irrelevant on the global stage. That includes Russia. And what was this all for?

In practice, the behaviour of that loop is predictable and consistent, so people get used to it and calibrate their expectation of the phone’s performance on it.

The problem is that a couple years down the line when the battery degrades, that feedback loop adjusts and as a result that performance significantly deviates from what it was originally with no obvious way for the user to understand why or tell whether it even actually happened or if they’re just misremembering what the original performance was.

The user can be in the loop in a read-only way. If the control system suddenly makes dramatic & unexpected changes (to accommodate degraded power or thermal performance) the user should be notified so they can rectify the solution (replace the battery in this case). Apple would rather gaslight them into believing their phone is working fine and was just always this slow and it might be time for an upgrade.

The best kind of political involvement is informed involvement. Mathematics is but a tool.

Without civic involvement from the public, state institutions decay into rent-seeking tyrannies.

The stakeholders (i.e. taxpayers and beneficiaries) are entitled to value for money spent into the ever-increasing hole that is government.

I applaud what Mr. Davison does. It should be shouted from the rooftops. I am from Romania - it doesn't even affect me personally, but it inspires me.
I have been impressed how I've been able to make arbitrarily complex audio graphs in QJackCtl and it just works. I can even activate patch bays and it forces the audio configuration and applications (even browsers) stay happy.

It's impressive how it manages to support connections that require reclocking and do the needed large ratio resampling needed behind the scenes, something that PulseAudio was never really able to do. It's also nice for monitoring while streaming and seems to have much lower latency than OBS's monitoring.
The part of the EULA which is supposed to enforce that is not enforceable in Germany. It is complicated. There might be other ways you can circumvent agreeing to the EULA based on your location.
It seems possible they are arguing:

_exit(write(1,"Hello World!\n",13));

is the correct one, but to me that just kicks the can. What should happen here?

os.rename(x,y)
print("success!")

should this exit nonzero? The file did get renamed and progress was made, even if some unrelated problem occurs, so some animation for a users benefit who is probably dealing with some other problems thinking piping to /dev/full was a good idea in the first place, well, it just seems almost cruel to further burden them with a surprising error code, so maybe I should wrap that print line in a pokemon since the output doesn't really matter that much anyway.

So it is I prefer to think of bugs as the difference between expectation and reality, and I think it should be fair to say different users can be predisposed to have different expectations; So I also I think it matters a great deal what the contract/expectations are.

But I also know the difference between /dev/full and /dev/null
Yes, it's smaller. But the original SE has the same innards as the 6S, so in all likelihood both will stop getting updates at the same time.
So I can shuffle $1M between £ and $, costing £6/hour, and earning guaranteed money whenever the rate moves by more than 0.00003 in a half hour period?

We're starting with GBP → 9 currencies but can't wait to add more corridors. Inbound EUR is next with more coming after. We're starting with a smaller set of currency corridors because we're building this network from scratch - that's why our fees are so low.

IIRC the Voodoo 1 didn't have 2D capability so the pass through was to let your 2D handle that drawing.

A Mac in Brazil costs literally 1 year worth of salary if you're poor, if you're lucky enough to have a source of income at all. Even as you go up the class hierarchy, most people are in debt (over 70% of families if I'm not mistaken).

> You can think of a team as a queueing system. Tasks arrive in your queue at random intervals, and they take unpredictable amounts of time to complete. Each member of the team is a processor, and when everybody’s working as hard as they can, the system is at 100% capacity.

Don't teams often have shared queues though (tickets, etc.)? Rather than queued work being pre-assigned to each person?

You're implying that Grsecurity's incentive to be safer than upstream means they won't cooperate. But Grsecurity made their patches freely available for the vast majority of their existence. I think it just shows ignorance of the situation to imply that they're only interested in making money.

All else aside, elementaryOS has (had?) an awful lot of promise. Linux desktop environments and graphical applications are often wildly inconsistent and not attractive to look at. It has been nice to watch the development of a desktop that not only tries to looks the part but also has relatively few surprises in real use. It's a shame that another great open source project will suffer due to human differences.
This looks terrific. But why create a new shell, why not a `select` executable (or, given that `select` seems to be a bash keyword for synchronous I/O multiplexing, an alias such as `sel`)?

The idea looks perfect for so many of my use cases, but the implementation as a shell is a significant roadblock to anyone invested in their current shell. I'd bet that's a significant portion of the people who would find this useful.
It is important to remember that universities, like most organisations, are not monolithic entities. It is almost certain that the person who selects the book for the common reading program is not the same person who is responsible to optimise the university’s ranking.

> The author of this paper suggests their xoshiro256 from the Xoshiro family[1] as an alternative. I found some discussion here[2] where it's suggested it has some fatal flaws as well, though I'm no expert.

PRNGs are complicated, and sometimes we don’t find out flaws in them until long after they are widely deployed – although test suites like U01 Big Crush and PractRand should really help that situation out. Part of the problem is that some people just keep doing what they’ve always done and don’t want to see that the building is on fire.

I took a Computational Physics class in 2011 that was still advocating Mersenne Twister as state of the art, despite the widely publicised flaws and much better generators being around at the time. Others were fine with just using a Linear Congruential Generator with decent constants. We did have one class that encouraged us to plot RANDU and see the pattern, but I recall the resolution was to use an LCG with better constants.

I spent a while looking into PRNGs then, particularly the test suites available then. At the time, I think two approaches stood out as being fast and suitably random: xorshift plus weyl function (apparently now used in CUDA toolkit) and AES with reduced rounds.

Sometimes it’s important to recognise that there are possibly people still doing science with Linear Congruential Generators, and we can do a lot better even if a PRNG doesn’t pass every test. These test suites are designed to catch PRNGs out. It’s an adversarial situation, where better tests lead to better generators that lead to better tests – and it’s worth pointing out that some tests are so sensitive that they will give false positives by chance alone.

> So, for simulations where predictability etc is not a concern, what's the state of the art? And since I'm into microcontrollers, what's a decent choice when you only got a 8-bit CPU and very limited space (both code and memory)?

I don’t think this is going to be the same generator as used in MCMC experiments, but I would imagine a xorshift generator could be implemented in 8 bits with a bit of thought or research.
Trans activists vs certain feminists is a big debate currently.
Yes Apppe basically doesnt bother trying to be competitive in countries outside the US. I guess they don't mind since their products still sell and they're raking in huge profits.
Do Bluetooth devices also work perfectly?

For me, BT works perfectly with PulseAudio. PipeWire is very satisfying for absolutely everything else, but BT devices just refuse to connect (and I'm inept at debugging BT issues).
Can you transfer TO the UK? Specifically from Spain and Qatar? I'm literally about to send a huge amount of money home, and it boils me up how much even the reputable money transfer companies take from you on the exchange. It seems scandalous how much money they take for something which is surely, almost entirely automated.
That's about 9000 euro, about the same as the "trashcan mac" (i forget the marketing name) when they were still selling them. I think this one is a bit faster though :)
If one is only interested in single core performance, the M1 Ultra doesn't offer anything significant from the M1 Pro/Max, AMD, or Intel CPUs.
It's a naive and overly courageous assumption that people around you are competent and capable. For instance, I've yet to see someone play proper tennis, do proper pullups, play proper guitar, etc.

Wireplumber looks very capable to me, although I think the documentation could be better, especially there could be more examples for more advanced configuration.

One thing I still fight with is pw-loopback. I like to create a default sink that I can remap to my sound card. Playing a simple sine over that will give me hickups and dropouts. There is nothing in the documentation of pw-loopback that tells you any about this and as of now I could not resolve it.

When I plug the same output directly into the soundcard in Catia, the sound issues are gone.

Day to day operations are mostly focussed on the daily routine or issues suddenly appearing. However there is a set of things which doesn't come up in such discussions and in my experience it is good to have somewhat regular moments of "let's take about anything outside the routine, not related to the next release" and having those scheduled helps some folks to collect notes. I'm fine with such a meeting being five minutes, but sometimes it brings up topics which fly under the radar otherwise.
It is only freedom if you succeed enough. I would argue being a wage worker gives you more freedom in practice in most cases.

The core RNGs of the three main JS engines are I believe at this point all Xorshift variants (same core structure, slightly different code interfaces).

They also seed (or should seed, I know JSC does) per-global object from a CSRNG.

If you have an application that really does need secure random the Dom specifies crypto.getRandomValues, which is specified as requiring a cryptographically secure implementation.
Crypto is not comparable to this at all. With crypto you lose twice (on and off ramps) during conversion to fiat. Not to mention trading fee etc.
We're operating a hub-and-spoke model. Our spokes are domestic bank transfers in and out of the currencies we support. And our hub is a centralized counterparty where we convert currency. Then we receive the converted currency in our local bank accounts. That currency conversion counterparty is world-leading in the services they offer to institutions, and we're excited to offer it to consumers for the first time.

We support the fastest possible domestic rails (GBP Faster Payments, EUR SEPA Inst, USD ACH Same Day, etc). Unfortunately most domestic rails aren't instant (like USD) - and we can't make them any faster - but for those that are (like EUR) we support instant transfers.

Our default delivery speed is two business days - this incurs no cost of capital to the business. But we know customers are sometimes transferring money urgently, so we offer an Express delivery. This is instant for EUR and as fast as the schemes support for other currencies. Express incurs a cost of capital equal to the currency forward rate, which is a true uncapped variable cost. So we have to pass that on to customers through a separate fee (0.05%), as it's something our signature fixed fee just can't cover. But it's always optional - and customers can always make a transfer regardless of size for just £3.

One can think of an organisation as 'development' on top of land (the market).
So Apple has organised (against the 2nd law of thermodynamics) a collection of companies that moves chips and aluminum and glass into a box in a store near me.

That is a form of development / improvement of the 'land' (laws of physics, existence of GSM networks?). There is certainly nothing 'natural' about the capital structure of companies in the USA that ensures some people become billionaires, nor even that for profit companies are the right way to organise. Although I might be a fish trying to explain away water there.

I get the feeling that if Swardley maps might be useful in laying out a taxation policy we are going down the wrong route however, as I seem to be arguing that each 'layer' from land to transport netowrks to digital networks needs to be accounted for to get the fair level of taxation.
