Gameplay and enunciation look quite standardized in modern movies. I remember a quote from a vietnamese director who said he cannot stand movies where you do not see people breath. Look at blockbusters: you never see people breath. When you do see them breath it is very much overplayed.
> It's ok, natural and healthy for Israel, but not for the rest of the world, where that is nationalism and equates to ideologies of the 1930s.

You say that, but that's ridiculous. I can't become a citizen of any other country without that country's explicit permission, and many countries won't allow just anyone to immigrate.

I agree with you, my concern is about what happens if the data doesn't point in that direction (tortured pigs taste the same) or if the market just accepts a trade-off (less quality for less price) disregarding their suffering.
I believe technology is inexorable and we'll just have to see what happens next.
A good start would be to treat them better while they are alive. It makes a difference whether their whole life is hell or whether they have a good life and only one bad day when they get killed.
My point is that I think FWAs are less beginner friendly, and will result in worse systems, than more "traditional" web apps.

There's less teaching material, the material is of variable quality and pulling in different directions, it's less clear how things fit together, and it all depends on technology that's very much in flux.

I'd probably suggest that basic PHP sites are a simpler mental model (as the page/template/URL structure is more directly related) and therefore better for beginners.
The Linux kernel have had 12,000 engineers working on it while still being a monolith.
I was just wondering about this the other day. Are there still no options other than to buy/build a grossly overpowered x86 machine?
I get that they want to have a generic manifesto here but concrete technologies and other practical examples would still eliminate a lot of confusion.
I enjoy watching French comedy dramas becuase the humour is incredibly subtle, unlike the majority of Hollywood films that are the exact opposite. I'll tolerate Jeniffer Aniston though.
Wait, explain to me what we Jews should have done after the holocaust, and after many countries kicked out all their Jews. Doesn't starting a Jewish country make sense? There are dozens of other countries around different groups (whether religious or ethnic), how is it wrong for Jews to want the same thing?

If you want to see TP-Link routers track record, and if you have an existing TP-Link router, check the updates page on their support website. Same kinds of vulnerabilities are fixed often across devices, as if not learning from their mistakes.

When it comes to budget routers I still turn to TP-Links when I can easily find a decent model on the market that is supported by openwrt.

So this conversation has gotten me to research this topic a little bit more. I'm not exactly sure if it's actually illegal in the U.S., that's just what the nurses who do my phlebotomy have told me. Though I did find that the American Red Cross does not accept blood from individuals who have hereditary hemochromatosis [1].

My case was discovered when my doctor did an iron work-up as part of checking out my liver. The normal level in men is 12-300 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Mine was very close to 1000 ng/mL at the time. These days my hematologist likes to keep me in the 50-75 ng/mL range.

It's not a good faith premise since the whole of the USA population isn't in a similar situation currently. If it were, then I would expect at least 100k, yes.

I call that sort of "good" plots "character-oriented plot".
One best example is Breaking Bad, which is not movie, but it is a great show anyway. The episode of Fly is a good example how well BB portrayed character's personality.

with character-oriented plot, we have character first, and let them play drama. It is like having initial condition and seeing how things evolve in Ordinary Differential Equation. Everything seems natural. I don't think screen play is not that simple, but good plot makes people think in that way.

On the other hand, with plot for the sake of plot, there is a predetermined plot
at the outset, and as the show progresses, the actions and personalities of the characters are adjusted accordingly. There is no real personality there, just a cog in the wheel.
Pretty arbitrary and boring set of rules. Would discuss with few of them. Repeating obvious things helps people consume content, pay attention and actually remember. You start from obvious, lead people into unknown and get back to obvious, with few additional details added along the way. It’s like a good standup show, where comic catches you in 40 minute with a joke introduced in 3rd. Then you remember. Presenting obvious, well known, information in few interesting ways is mastery. And lots of simple, short slides might really help with dynamics of your presentation.

One general rule I give to speakers, and stand by it, is: take time to breath.

I don’t see proof of usability of this rules presented in article, so yeah, just arbitrary list, don’t mind it too much. Watch good standup, and learn presentation structure from those guys.
Good pick- it’s to the point that I try to express my love of these movies and I just start sobbing. At once because of how beautiful these films are and also that I fear an audience for them no longer exist in a world where movies = The MCU.
You should do a writeup on your blog! I'm curious what your lambda looks like.
> So the problem with “Data transfer is in binary” is that it really requires both the source and the recipients to be running the same executable, otherwise you run into some really weird problems.

I think you're misinterpreting "data transfer is in binary" with something like "a raw memory dump of an object in your program, without any serialisation or parsing step".
Weird synchronicities, sometimes just too much. As I've said in the comment, I know about confirmation bias and selective attention. I always try to be completely skeptic and try to dis and explain with psychological/behavioral phenomenon, until I reach a point that I can't, over and over.

Even with the knowledge of our brains are subconsciously processing incoming information from everywhere and considering the possible bias by the fact that I'm seeking for something and want to believe, I still find many of the synchronicities with no possible scientific/statistically remotely plausible explanation.

I won't call it "quantum" or any buzzword. I don't call it anything. I'm still skeptic and I just see some patterns emerging and believe there's something beyond what we have discovered about life and consciousness.
I was annoyed by the Deco APP too. It provides remote management, which I believe that all data is forwarded through TP-Link's server.

My solution is running those devices as a Wi-Fi to LAN bridge, also setup my own NAT gateway (by bare-metal Linux, Openwrt... etc). Then blocking there devices from accessing Internet at gateway.

If I have more IoT devices at home, I will apply such policy to all of them.
I feel like CGI has increased productivity a lot. Not so much in big, effects driven movies, but in everyday type shots where they can change backgrounds or remove things so they don't need to make big elaborate sets or control environments quite so much. That's my guess at least. Film was also a huge cost of production and especially distribution that's essentially gone now. I think Hollywood unions also add a lot of jobs - look up the job of focus puller sometime.

On the other hand to all the expensive stuff - you can just not do those. I'd take Primer as an example. I believe it was shot for the cost of a Toyota Corolla and became a fairly significant film. I've also seen "low budget" movies (meaning $3-5 million or so) in the last decade or so that probably would not have been possible 20 years or more ago, so I feel like there has been some progress.
> For example, if you ever attend a C++ talk by Googlers ... present about how they “optimized” some part of the STL

I'm guessing you're thinking about things like Swiss Tables. But the situation isn't that Swiss Tables "optimize" the STL's containers instead they're just the replacement you'd actually want. You can't "optimize" the STL containers, because they're defined in a way that's hostile to optimization.

Take std::unordered_set. Why is it so slow ? Well, your standard library is obliged to make this work roughly the same way as it would have when explained in a CS introductory Data Structures class in the 1980s. This is not necessary for the ordinary understanding or use of an "unordered set" which is why Swiss Tables has one that's much better, but if you've paid attention in that class you know there are buckets of keys with similar hash values so that's what the STL is obliged to provide.

If you just want an "unordered set" you do not want std::unordered_set despite the name, you want the much better replacements from Swiss Tables or various other offerings and it's unfortunate that std::unordered_set is in the standard and those are not.

Of course the other reason std::unordered_set is so slow for you isn't solved by Swiss Tables, but it was called out by the Googlers presenting Swiss Tables more than once. Your hash function is garbage. Even if you insist on using std::unordered_set because it was good enough thirty years ago or whatever, this part of the lesson is invaluable anyway.

When using data structures that are faster because of hashing, you defeat them by using poor quality hashes. To a first approximation if you aren't sure that you are using a good quality hash then you probably aren't. In any optimisation quest start by measuring, and in this case that means measuring: Is your hash actually any good at... hashing ?
For me the noticeable thing about modern movies is the pace. It's like something must happen all the time, if there isn't something moving or someone talking, it isn't a modern movie. I feel like been conditioned to not be able to watch older movies anymore, my brain is just like "huh why isn't something happening?".
> we should acknowledge that it embraces and encourages the high-risk/high-reward model, which should be entered into with open eyes

We were W21. I would argue one of YC's main goals is to reduce the risk to founders, and enable starting startup more accessible to those with the right skills, regardless of circumstance.

Getting into YC guarantees a certain minimum amount of funding and essential support, which not everyone outside SV has access to. It's commonplace to see people quit high paying jobs, and start businesses whilst married with children (the old narrative of 20-something male dropout is no longer the norm). This all happens because YC creates a platform that reduces risk for founders.
It's so eldritch. I've found dealing with the healthcare system is similar. Any business that you need more than they need you, this happens. There really should be consumer protections about this but I have no idea how that would even be implemented.
I think the idea is Uti, non abuti (use, but don't abuse). Counter-counter (sic) examples are not-so-funny meme pictures and emojis. Emojis have gotten so ridiculous in terms of illusion of communication that we have entire websites about their supposed meaning [1].

Something that We do at my current job:

* set a standard and stick with it. tweak it if needed. we even have naming standard on some of the json key. for example, use XXX_count for counting. when it doesn't make sense, use total_XXX.

* Document your API, we use postman and code review API changes too.

This is whataboutism. BBC might be biased but it is not straight propaganda and lies as RT.

Honestly there is no point in discussing this if you cannot see the difference between a state sponsored channel that pumps out literal lies and fake footage, invents conspiracy theories, and tries to sow hate against e.g. jews and migrants vs one that has a conservative and pro-British bent but is free to criticise the government and often does so. BBC is boring and conservative and I would rarely waste my time on it, but it is an entirely different category of media.
Search engines turn searches into money. Some do this by selling ads, some by selling your data. Unless you’re paying for it you’re bound with their database as the product and are mostly irrelevant to them besides spending more time there. They have an incentive to delay you finding what you want.
Ask HN: Are knowledge-requirements for senior engineers becoming too much?
I work currently as a "senior" swe and my duties cover a wide range of technologies and non-tech related stuff: Elixir, Go, nginx, mysql, Docker, debezium, Kafka, Terraform, Ansible, HTTP APIs, a bit of Angular, mentoring, hiring (tech interviews), product discovery, design docs drafts, etc., etc.

When it comes to hiring senior software engineers, my company and peers seems to put a lot of focus on the following topics:

- does the candidate know about performance, scalability, and high availability topics?

- does they know about infra topics like: K8s, monitoring, CI/CD

- does they know about GCP or AWS?

- are they available to be part of our on-call rotation schemes?

- can they mentor more junior engineers?

Not to mention of course the more classic requirements for senior software engineers like: actual working experience on the field, solid knowledge of the fundamentals of comp sci/soft. eng., good practices, problem solving skills, good communication skills, etc.

When I interview candidates, I try to focus on the second group of requirements. I want to see if the candidates are able to communicate effectively while working on a technical solution. I could care less about details like GCP, Ansible, the programming language they master the most, or whether they use K8s or not. These technologies can be learned, if required. My company, though, doesn't like my approach and they insist on me asking very specific tech questions.

What do you think? We currently are hiring "Go senior software engineers" (that's the actual job title in Linkedin), but I couldn't care less if you know Go or not when you come to work with me. I want to know if you are good at solving problems.
Thank you for that explanation. Synthesists like you are the champion of whats left of the enlightenment.

This is very, very much the vibe of my entire experience living on this planet as an adult, dealing with financial services and tech:

We've run into DNS issues with Alpine containers at two different places I've worked at.
Completely different data centers and infra.

First time it took a lot of effort to pinpoint the problem.

Second time too, since it appeared because of a non-relevant code change (which lead to slighty more DNS requests).

In both cases, a simple switch to Debian slim saved the day.

Alpine is since banned from any env I'm working in :-)
The question is: what CAN they do? How would they triage transactions? Everything Russian? That's laughable. There are many Russians who oppose Putin's war.

Furthermore AFAIK it's pretty easy to simply use another exchange so how would it work? Even besides ideological ideas as described in the article. How would the technically decide what and what not to allow?

Classical finance has similar problems I guess. But not the additional technical layer since they use highly centralized systems.
It is a Dark Souls, that's the whole appeal. And as a Dark Souls game, the story is inscrutable.
“Universal” has two meaning here:

1. Works with everyone’s language. Which ASCII does not

2. Works on pretty much every machine. Which ASCII does very well.

I’m not defending the use of pure ASCII but if you’re concern is that the text is rendered universally then ASCII wasn’t the worst suggestion a few years back.

What you’re arguing is a different requirement and that’s support for peoples languages. If that’s a concern then ASCII isn’t the right choice.

Those two requirements are not mutually inclusive.
It's essentially Dark Souls with a lot of QoL improvements and much larger. Story is relatively interesting, though still very fill-in-the-gaps-yourself.

I wouldn't mind if they converged the products tbh, but there are quite a lot of things yet to migrate I think. An extensive process thing with easy ways to hook in for doing processes and reports would be much better than what ADO does now with an extremely complex model that you invariably still need to customize with extensions and hooks.
Reminds me of the "create an account or login with Facebook/Google/etc" UX you see on many sites.

The promise was that services could outsource their account management to e.g. Facebook, users wouldn't have to deal with dozens of accounts and Facebook gets some more juicy user data to analyse. Win-win-win, right?

Except of course sites don't want to outsource their account management to anyone. User accounts are valuable, so every company who can manage to do so in any way pushes their users to make an account. They also want to keep maximum control over those accounts.

However, what sites would like very much is to have their user accounts associated with a Facebook or Google identity.

So what happens in the end is that the buttons really mean "login with Facebook and create an account" - which means for UX and privacy of users, it's the worst of both worlds combined.
I’d wager that many engineers are still mixing for the cinema experience, but the vast majority of people are consuming media via their TV’s, laptops, tablets and phones, with an extremely diverse range of audio quality and placement.
Findings a happy medium is incredibly difficult, if not impossible.

There’s certainly a need for a ‘context aware’ format that can dynamically change the way sound - particularly speech - is delivered based on the device, volume, or even physical setting. (I suspect that this is about as useful as the ‘loudness’ button on many older amps though.)
