The building referenced in the article holds 10k workers. The firm hires 3k workers / year.
When Phones Were Fun: Sony Ericsson P910 (Released 2004)
this actually sounds like a pretty classical tech hiring process - in the before times. Can't really see how anyone but the MANGA companies could get away with a process that demands such interview load for the candidate in today's world.

I'd say 'good luck' but you really need to refactor the recruiting process here
Also, the metric prefixes are used cross language, and the ms, bs, and ts aren't the same cross language
A good way to think about it is: dentist appointment time vs rocket launch time.
My firefox for Linux (latest version, 98.0) has had image loading on Facebook broken for a while. Approximately 1/4 of images on my feed never load. Googling shows it's persistent problem. Some complex combination of clearing cache and tweaking configuration supposedly solves but shouldn't it just work?
I get the spirit of this article. But one of the key things to consider is the operational overhead of maintaining infra for auxiliary services far outweighs the value it provides. There are a few things like payments, notification, monitoring(logs/metrics etc) startups shouldn't build from scratch/self host anymore, unless they plan to take on the incumbents in those fields.
I mean it's not strange, charge naturally flows from higher to lower voltage...
I do not doubt you. But I would like to know why?

For Academic Papers (the context of this HN topic), JAX and PyTorch makes more sense. A new runtime could be useful in production.
That cannot be true, the US lost billions in Afghanistan.
This is the authors take on that:

“Here are some concrete ways to tell management or stakeholders no.

This isn’t MAIN_PRIORITY, so we aren’t going to do it until at least ESTIMATED_DONE_DATE.

Right now our priority is MAIN_PRIORITY because of ONE_SENTENCE_JUSTIFICATION, and this is 100% our shipping focus.

I agree this sounds like a really useful feature - once we finish MAIN_PRIORITY, should we consider dropping SECOND_PRIORITY and do it?”
You don’t add tailscale if you care about open source.
I'd assume that most attacks are coming not from attackers directly, but from some sort of hacked devices in some other country, either webcam with root access or similar, maybe even proxy servers. Would be interesting to match malicious IP addresses with ones indexed by shodan to test this theory.
Why not put the ads somewhere else?

Also, you are already in the shop, going to buy stuff anyway, what's the point of advertising the same product that's on the shelf?
It's been "over" several times already (remember "it will be gone by easter"?). This time won't be the last, the data just doesn't justify that assumption yet.

What you are saying is: "Society thinks it is now ok to have ~1000 deaths from this disease per day" as a steady state. The problem with that is that the health infrastructure to deal with this amount of disease on top of other seasonal diseases like influenza just isn't there in most places.

People being done with it will change again when tumor removal surgery and other procedures need to be postponed and general quality of life is suffering.

There is also the aspect that lots of people will still take precautions like not eating out in crowded indoor spaces when seasonal infection rates are high. This will change business environments in the long run, whether we like it or not.
I can read and look up historical records. This isn’t rocket science. The combination of gutting our tax rates plus the GOP spending trillions on wars and tax breaks has killed the middle class. Look at everything Reagan did during his first 4 years. He decimated the middle class and waged war on black people and the poor.
I believe your experience in this regard would be a good blog post in of itself that I would love to read.
Ukraine on Fire [video]
Nobody in this thread is saying that though, so it's unclear who or what you are arguing against?
1984 is great because it bifurcates most responses in a revealing way: there are people who understand it as a cautionary tale against something that hasn't happened, and people who understand its many wonderful metaphors as representing recurring themes in human politics. So many of the phrases the former crowd likes to trot out would tickle Syme to death: people come up with their own NewSpeak in the form of thought-terminating cliches to opt out of reason entirely.

edit to bring it back to the topic: "ethnic" as a catch-all is actually a brilliant example of what NewSpeak is a metaphor for.
I find your demands reasonable, especially the principle where HTTP traffic is initiated if and only if carried out in response to direct user interaction.

The thing with right to control, though, is that someone, somehow has to develop a browser and make ends meet.
Your comment immediately reminded me of Marvin the paranoid android from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Insightful.

Next level for you: look at society and realize it works the same.
“Racist” is being used metaphorically. The choice of film chemistry to use will affect what sort of faces are captured well, and what sort of faces are captured poorly.
The cable has a few wires dedicated to directionality (CC1 & CC2) lines as well as sideband channels. My guess would be that the first device to be plugged in sees nothing on the other side, decides it's going to ask for power, and configures itself (and thus the cable) as such. The second device sees a USB-PD device requesting power and begins to provide it.

While I don't doubt the foresight of Apple HW engineers, the possibility strikes me that this is entirely accidental and derived from the design of the USBPD spec. If so, these "stars align (but only because the spec was functionally designed)" moments are some of my favorites.
That thing was jaw dropping to me. I do wish his code was commented so I could follow it better.
Blame the beans. Time to take personal responsibility for climate change and stop blaming the cows and big industry. /s
Or by the other person. There's a new hire on my team who records all his video chats with what I think is a program meant for streaming games, and Meet/Zoom/etc don't recognize it and so can't notify the other person (he mentioned it once and that he uses it instead of taking notes (the only reason I know he does this), and I was just like ???). It's kinda unnerving.
Word and Excel already moved to browser editions not to mention Google productivity tools.

Check out web.autocad.com

There are more and more painting tools available online.

Cloud based IDEs are popping up more frequently.

Not to forget about all web based note apps.

That is the trend and no one cares about creating next Photoshop or Autocad competition on desktop.

Let alone that I mentioned that if someone cares about building desktop app he goes with C++ and QT or something like that and not .NET or Ruby or Python.
I don't have any clover here, but lots of flowers. We usually wait with the first cut in spring until the flowers are mostly gone. They displace grass unfortunately, but look very nice, and insects love them. https://i.imgur.com/sbqhEYt.jpeg
I'm still driving 88.0.11, last version before the UI re-design. I have a current version installed in parallel as well to keep an eye on things.

One problem I have with some applications these days, and now Firefox as well, the techniques they use internally affect rendering which I find gives me more eyestrain. 88 is comfortable for me to use, 99 is tiring. Maybe it promotes too much acutance around letters, I don't know, but it seems like it's flickering subtly like a refresh rate. I've had this problem with other browsers too, sometimes it is fixed by newer versions. It's frustrating.
I'm coming to appreciate how far the devastation and misery of Ukraine are from most Americans' minds. It's probably the first news story I've followed closely since last year's attack on the Colonial Pipeline, but I've been completely absorbed by it since December. I don't understand how the story of the global American military presence can be obtained coherently through the national embarrassment that is leaving Ukraine to stand up, alone, for Western civilization. But it is hardly the first empire to be shown as hollow, and the collapse is all the cleaner (for the US) because the foreign military presence doesn't accompany foreign territories that will need to be shed.
The previous owner of my house was maintening a picture perfect green. With the kids and the jobs, I didn't want to follow that practice. Too much time for a soil not made for this, lots of fertilizer, various chemicals...

I fix the dead patches every spring and autumn with clover seeds and compost made from grass clippings, egg shells and vegetables/fruits peels. Zero fertilizer or weed killers, I remove by hand the weeds I don't like once in a while. I rake the garden twice a year to keep moss under control.

5 years later, our garden no longer looks like a green, but a prairie with the usual local plants. Since 2 years poppies are colonizing the most sun exposed parts, with spectacular blooms we are eagerly waiting for. Worms, larvae, slugs and snails are plenty, so birds are always at work foraging. Whatever dies during the hottest weeks regenerates in autumn. Plenty of bees are foraging the clovers and bindweed flowers.

It's looks nice, it's alive, it's much less work and money to maintain, it's self regenerating.
qmail has one of the most notoriously inscrutable codebases of all time, and it has a startlingly good track record, because there's a coherent security design behind it; the same --- to a greater extent! --- goes for OpenSSH.
As of yesterday after vacillating for some weeks with temporary local lockdowns and transport service suspensions, Shenzhen is now under near-total lockdown. All non-essential/infrastructure businesses must close ("WFH"). Cars cannot move freely in or out until the 18th (yesterday this was announced as a single one-way transit per vehicle only, perhaps today no transit). Buses and metro are shut down until the 20th. Unclear policy regarding domestic courier services, but most likely temporarily shut. One person per family may leave a house once per day for food purchasing. Panic food purchasing reportedly began yesterday.

The food situation will surely be fine, but businesses should anticipate immediate electronics supply chain and manufacturing delays as a result of the lockdown.
Most lithium ion batteries contain mixtures of liquid organic carbonates as electrolytes. They range from moderately to very flammable. Here's some vendor information on dimethyl carbonate, one of the more flammable electrolyte components:

https://smc-global.com/dimethyl-carbonate/

These liquids can burn regardless of the battery state of charge.
Fantastic.

People who look at that and think "ooh I want to try that on a small scale" might be interested in the Open Press Project:

Which offers up plans for (and sells finished prints of) a tiny, cute 3D printed roller press.
Nothing as good as Sidebery for Chrome. But if you want to consider Edge, it has a great built-in implementation for vertical tabs.
Places that are habitable when you don't have a car tend to absorb the people who don't have cars.

Car dependence is a much more palatable strategy than police violence for keeping things “nice.”
I have a separate log file for the default vhost that's not parsed by log aggregation tools. Most scanners just hit your IP rather than an actual hostname (unless your site is very popular and well-known), so most spam ends up there. That keeps your actual log file much cleaner.

The issue with no-code systems today, is that they're completely walled gardens. You're Oracle-trapped. It's really expensive to get out.

You can use paid IDEs (think IntelliJ offerings) and get really close to the productivity level of a no-code platform, without the exit trap.

No code tools, are a bad business decision if you are going to base mission critical infra on them, unless you can articulate a good exit strategy.
> There are some places that allow defending a home using non lethal force but even that comes with some risk of civil legal issues.

You can defend your home with lethal force in many states in the US. No verbiage, signs or disclaimers required.
I liked Adlemen's genetic computing paper. It had tons of jargon and references but was only ~ two pages long. It's a super dense two pages if you're new to molecular biology though. I think that's what most academic writers should really be aming for but they get trained by professors/TAs measuring their papers in terms of length rather than content.
It does make sense. 40 is black, and 60 is white.
Instagram users in Russia are told service will cease from midnight
Couldn't embracing remote learning have solved most of these problems? I took a few classes over the last two years and loved remote learning. I don't get why it was so quickly cast away.
Ha, this is awesome, thanks for checking that out. One point of note though, I'm pretty sure it would have been faster to build the kernel + OpenZFS on the Debian/RISC-V in QEMU. QEMU on decent hardware runs very fast and much faster than the D1.

ADD: Geekbench 5.4.1 on RISC-V

- under QEMU/Ryzen 9 3900XT: 82

- under QEMU/M1: 76

- Native D1: 32 (https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/13259016)

The M1 result is skewed because for some reason AES emulation is much faster on Ryzen. The rest of the integer stuff is faster on the M1, up to 30% faster.

Was it your responsible to choose?
Did you make your opinion know earlier? What makes you think your opinion would have changed things in person? Why didn't you arrange a meeting to discuss this decision?

Sometimes people use face to face as a crutch.
That was my first thought but paywall overlay meant I couldn’t read more
yup but arbitrage is usually through other exchanges, or exploiting a triangle between assets. In runeescape there was downright no liquidity so it's more like day trading and using the liqudity gap as your margin.
A local planet will not catch an object going 0.2c, and there isn't a way to slow it down significantly.
Back in the 1980s, when my company Zortech was located in London, my partner set up a "Meet Walter Bright" with the tech press there. After all, my picture was on the Zortech ads and the compiler manual.

When I arrived at the meet & greet, the journalists thought I was a model (!) hired to be a figurehead. I had to show them my passport to convince them that was my real name, and answer a bunch of tech questions to show I knew all about C++ and compilers.

It was a very amusing experience for me, especially that some people thought I was handsome enough to be a model, LOL.
Every single web app and internet-connected mobile app handles PII (IP address, geolocation data, and email address all qualify). Unless it's particularly protected, like health info or storing banking info, you'll probably be OK to learn how to handle it on your own to get a product to market. You also need to understand the impact GDPR, CCPA, and app store requirements have on what you're building. Then there's the legal side of actually creating the company itself, plus concerns around copyright, trademark, and patents if applicable. At the end of the day, you're going to have to learn some legal stuff to succeed as a founder.
He's not a scientist. He works in Public Relations.

Just last week I read something from him about dealing with the drug problem and he had the exact same script "I used to be a lefty, and believed in <list of sensible policies> but now I realise that none of those work, and the evil lefties actually want people to die."

His latest book is called "San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities"
Waterproof mechanical watches have been a thing for over a century now. They are small, serviceable and have no glued parts. It unfortunately seems the knowledge of watchmakers past hasn't made it into the phone industry yet (same for smartwatches, sadly).
We just gave up on the parking strip. Close enough to the heat of the asphalt road that it takes a fair amount of water to keep it green. So instead I ripped it out and put in rocks of varying sizes 1-3 inches, along with a few hardy shrubs that can take some abuse and don't grow too fast. Capped all the sprinklers but one next to each shrub and then ran a drip line to it.
Out of curiosity, have you ever publicly referred to the Society of the Spectacle more than 3 months ago? For whatever reason, I am seeing all sorts of references all over the internet to Debord and SotS in the past couple months, and I'm just trying to track down why this is happening. I don't think this is a yellow car phenomenon because I've been into Situationism for the past 20 years and am fairly attuned to references to it that I stumble across.
It seems excessive even compared to the big tech companies - 1hr recruiter screen (!?), 4 (or more) 1-hour long coding rounds, separate behavioral and leadership interviews...
why not give people an onion address?
6 day old account that has only posted Russian talking points - hmmmm
> experts are speculating this virus is here to stay like the flu.

If they're only speculating it at this point, then they're way behind the times and shouldn't be called experts. Animal reservoirs were confirmed in 2020, and more found in 2021. Omicron may have been a jump back from rats to humans. We're way past the point of it being here to stay.
Are you implying that not having a lawn means not having greenery? I would argue the opposite is true. While a monoculture lawn may be "green" it's about as barren a green space as you can imagine.
Ok here's a little bit of a guilty confession.... we _love_ MySQL's `timestamp null` type. MySQL certainly has some areas that aren't pretty, but we use the hell of out this.

The `timestamp null` time automatically adjusts for the connecting user's timezone. Internally, IIRC it stores the value as UTC, but then converts it on the fly for wherever you're sitting. Why is this awesome? Well, because not everyone is a programmer or expert in time zone, daylight savings, understands UTC, etc. When our non-tech CEO wants to look at a report, he expects it to be relative to the time shown on his watch, which is exactly what this type does.

Is it perfect? No. But does it solve a simple problem eloquently and prevent non-technical users from making bone-headed mistakes? yep.
Ah yes, Ihor who works in a very specific role at a very specific company. I’m sure he appreciated that information being shared.

I hope that was a red herring on his part.
This is always interesting to me: I find that I can't dictate at all, I need to see the words and read them as I'm writing them, for some reason. Especially for writing fiction, it's just hard to imagine saying it out loud, I feel like that would engage a different and "wrong" part of my brain.
No, just no.

Yes, there’s been hiccups. Yes, misinformation made rounds.

But we formulated safe and effective vaccines in months for it, rolled them out in ridiculous speeds and saved many lives.

In contrast to past pandemics, we’ve handled this ridiculously well and we owe our butts to recent advancements in mRNA tech.

So no, historically speaking, it’s been a case study of “there’s been problems, but an overwhelming success”.
Is this really a topic you've interrogated your friends about? Why would you know anyone's perspective on Mavis Beacon?

I thought Mavis Beacon was real back in the day, because why wouldn't she be? It was just a nice looking lady, not like a cartoon character who teaches you typing or anything like that. I assumed maybe she was just a world class typer when I was 10 or so.

If it is obvious that Mavis Beacon isn't real to some, I would love to know how they understand that Mavis is fake, but, say, the guy on the "Norton Utilities", "Norton Antivirus" is a real person.
Excel is one of the most widely used no-code platforms and it has readily available alternatives that replicate its workflow, such as Quattro Pro. You're not in a "walled garden".
In most jurisdictions the DST rules and timezone offset change rarely. In some jurisdictions, they change more frequently. Over the whole world, they change often (dozens of times per year).
Conway's Game of Life in the real world
Can the SBA advisor point you at a lawyer? Are there lawyers in your area that partner with the SBA? In my state, there are law firms that everybody knows has focus on early-stage companies, and surprisingly their fees are reasonable (though they may put you with a junior lawyer).

Often people are scared to talk to other professionals - accountants, lawyers, etc - because they think it will be crazy expensive. I've been really pleased with how affordable their services can be for basic consult, documents. It's only when you are in litigation that it gets crazy (don't ask me how I know). So - it might be just a couple hours (let's say $600 or so) for some of their time to get all your questions answered. In fact, I've found a brief coffee with a lawyer will often answer all my questions and that only if we have to do something with them after that point does the meter start running.

Point being: Get comfortable talking to these people, they are your allies.
Could be they're putting down nitrogen. My lawn grows much faster if I throw down some nitrogen a couple times a year. As a bonus, happy grass crowds out most of the more obnoxious weeds (looking at you, quack grass).
Monorepos done right
It actually is counter intuitive, but removing social borders will actually reduce immigration! Here is why, people don't like to leave their motherland unless the situation gets bad. Most people migrate to the countries that have exploited them in some way. E.g. most people from former UK colonies will migrate to the UK, most people from Mexico, south america and China will migrate to the US(Indians started migrating during the cold war, when there was massive pressure on India from the west). Most african countries will migrate to France, and from the recent events most middle-eastern citizens(Iraq, Syria, Libiya and Afghanistan) have migrated to europe and the US, etc. If there is free movement of people, then there is more pressure on the recipient countries to not get into the exploiting expeditions where people from both the recipient country and the target country suffer. That way people from the target countries are less likely to travel to other countries. They will travel only when they require it and most of them would like to go back to their home country(if it is not messed up).

If there's a programmers' hell, I picture it as a place where you are always working on interesting programs, but instead of writing something like

printf("The result is %d\n", result);

you have to reach for a menu and navigate until you find printing functions, then write "The result is ", then right click at the end to insert a placeholder and select the variable in the variables combo box, then toggle the "newline after print" checkbox.

OTOH, my wife (a classicist teaching Latin over the internet) uses a few services like IFTTT, and likes it.
