Huh, it's really weird that a group focused on eradicating systemic racism would choose to highlight the racist moments. How strange.
Hot take on child abuse images! Classy.
I can appreciate the author’s reservations around take-home assignments given how easy it is to cheat, but why not as an interviewer simply protect against that by asking the interviewee to detail certain aspects of their implementation on a follow-up call?

Whenever I submit a project for review, I’m prepared to answer questions about why I did X, why I used this tool/library/approach versus some other tool/library/approach, and what I could do to improve the implementation further. On the latter subject, I’ll raise that discussion even before being asked. If your applicant panics on questions like this — or is obviously clearly making shit up on the spot — there’s your indicator to reject.

If you ask me to implement a B-tree, I’ll describe what a B-tree is and tell you I don’t off-hand remember how to do it or what an ideal approach would be in a given language. I’d tell you that I’d research it a bit before diving face-first into it. Which is what almost everyone would do in real-world contexts anyway.
I could see it not being ethical if a person is being provocative. If it's just a dash-mounted camera or one pinned to the person's body (like a cops) that seems perfectly ethical.
You can use the vte library to embed a terminal in a GTK+ program. QEMU does it for example.
From what little I know about quantum mechanics, the statement about changing the light source and expecting to not see an interference pattern is very surprising. I’d expect to see one.
On the other hand, Celeste is an example of a brutally difficult game with much lauded accessibility options. It’s not the same as “easy mode”, but the results are similar.
The percentage of grass fed cows is probably low just because it's more expensive. This means it will stay low and the problem with eating meat will always be there. There simply is no way around it. Furthermore, it is intellectually more honest to focus on what is rather than what should be.

Same problem with the cars: we will run out of rare battery materials before every car is electric. If you're one of the lucky ones who can buy their conscience clean, that's great. The rest will have to keep polluting.

I'm not saying you should stop eating meat by the way. All I ask is accepting the facts.
I love this. The earliest American inventors! Amazing how difficult it was to get steam powered locomotion—-especially when they had to reinvent everything themselves without the skills or the supplies.
Terminals that only supported the first version of tap to pay in the USA often have this bug when activated by a card from this first version of tap to pay.
All lives will matter when black lives matter.

That is what it means. To any body not either racist or on the autistic spectrum and very pedantic, it is obvious that is what it means.
Nah it's pretty dumb right now. All I do is filter out some names like "Alley" and join same-named streets.

I don't want to make it too easy but I have gotten a lot of feedback today about difficulty (area boundary/radius, street length, etc) so I'll make some changes and hopefully I can keep going in the right direction.

Another idea I had was to add hints like maybe you could have a special button you could press once per round that would shrink the circle for the given street and then go back to the normal size next round.

Thanks for the feedback!
Then the provocative behavior is potentially unethical, not the recording? Seems like a very important distinction to make.

Beware of QR Code Scams
The whole idea of resumes makes little sense. Suppose all of the facts check out, so HR has to give up LeStrade-ing your background so they can gleefully pounce on something.

What do they know? Where you worked, what on, your title. No idea what you learned, or retained - how much was original. How long it took, how well it worked. How you grew or soured as a human being. What wonderful ideas you might bring with you.

The most valuable insights would come from a peer you sit down and chat with for an hour or two. But then they'd have to actually trust a trusted employee with a proven talent. Nope nope. You might conspire to form an 'actual talent' cabal. Remember Fairchild!
> I wonder also why there is a deactivated gene that prevents HIV infection... did we have this ability for a long time but it fell out of use and was selected off?

It’s a gene for a specific receptor that has certain other functions in the body. Certain strains of HIV just happen to use this receptor for viral entry, but it has other functions in the body.

The specific CCR5 mutation has positive effects for resistance to certain HIV strains but actually worsens resistance to certain other diseases. There’s also a big question of how specific and accurate his editing actually was, of course.

Ask HN: Confused Between M1 Mac Mini and Mac Studio
Hi HN,
After about 10 years, my old 2012 Mac Mini is slowing down. I’d like to invest into another small package like the Mac Mini to continue my daily work - usually programming 80%, Content creation (Affinity Photo, GarageBand, etc.) 10% and games (CS:GO, Hitman) 10%.

I feel the M1 Mac mini will get the job done, but it’s about 2 years old now. Whereas the Mac Studio just launched and has all the power I will need for the next 5 years at least, but then, it costs twice as much as the M1 Mac mini where I live.

Would love to hear your thoughts and advice. Thank you.
I was just thinking about this. I often have to lick my fingers to open doggie bags when walking my dog. My solution has been to use a water bottle with inbuilt bag holder, then instead of licking my fingers I squeeze a drop out of the bottle and use that.

Similarly at the grocery store I go to the produce section and swipe some water there to open bags.

Nice to have some validation for my idiosyncrasies
It's better to believe this because it motivates to practice but it's definitely more nuanced than claiming there is no innate talent.
You may have misjudged the comment thread. You should realize I'm excited about this plant serving 14% of Finland energy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30653980

I think you should read the thread and context of the reply again.

Just to make the misunderstanding clear: Any *green energy* that takes us out of coal/peat/oil is progress. You don't have to repeat as if there is a conspiracy. I was replying to a comment asking for comparison with other sources, saying that *progress to green energy is way more important* than comparisons against brown energy, no matter even if said comparisons paint coal/peat/oil in favourable or unfavorable terms. It's exactly the same you said, burning peat doesn't make sense today no matter the cost, and that's exactly the same I'm saying.
Wow! Posting a source that challenges an Apple benchmark gets you flagged and deleted from Hacker News. Who's behind this?
I’m using 3 different apps for time tracking, expense tracking, and calendar. Existing solutions don’t integrate well with my niche setup.(for example, time trackers with billable hours don’t work for my side-project with variable revenue) Because I need granular data control and can’t justify a subscription for a small-ish project, I decided to take the plunge.

The end goal is to combine all 3 into one place that I have complete control of. (And make a bunch of cool looking graphs to look at)

True.

And systematic racism is a symptom of the cruel bigotry and prejudice throughout society.

Anti racism campaigners are doing work for all of us who find our selves on the outside of the right side.

Edit: I do not live in the USA. I do not have an experience of racism there. I might be missing something
This is a paradoxical comment that makes it nearly impossible to believe you read the book. The entire theme of The Fountainhead is the rejection of conformity and collectivism. If you didn't like "being told what to think" then you felt what Howard Roark felt. If you were "berated and told I was wrong" for "offering different perspectives" then you experienced what Howard Roark experienced. Are you claiming to be a skeptic or independent thinker and also agreeing with Toohey and admiring Keating?

The Fountainhead is far from a perfect novel and certainly the "great man" theory is flawed. But the exposition of the inherent failure of collectivism to improve society is probably its greatest strength, and rings more true today than ever.
Alexander hated modern architecture, which he felt was all about ego and not about human needs. Probably why architects conveniently forgot him.

> a "real" type alongside float and double which represents the widest float available on the target

Initial question: what would that be on a system without hardware floating point?

Luckily, https://dlang.org/spec/type.html says (not 100% unambiguously) it isn’t necessarily “the widest float available on the target“, but either that or, if that doesn’t have both the range and precision of double, double.

So, if you decide to use it, you’re guaranteed not to give up range or precision, may gain some, but also may give up performance.
> I think the key is to not use the word “bullshit” unless you’re already on good terms with someone.

Yes, agree 100%. When you're busting balls with your friends it's perfectly fine, but when it's a stranger online who doesn't know you at all and is likely from a very different culture, it's not a good idea to respond that way, unless you want to offend.
Are you denying Obama proclaimed Russian economy is "in tatters"? Is the current state of "being reduced to economic rubble" even worse than being "in tatters"?
I'd like to see the whole scale, please. I am curious what's next after "reduced to rubble" since that is what will be needed if the EU/US are going to fight Russia. I just hope it does not push my gas prices over 20 $/gal.

I think this honestly undersells cmake on this front. CMake's ExternalProject[1] and FetchContent[2] features basically combine into a package manager, letting you pretty seemlessly incorporate things from arbitrary places, especially if they themselves use cmake.

Huh? You can do the same in zsh.
That "promise" is pretty laughable. They stick a gazillion qualifiers on it (so long as they're not insolvent, and everything just keeps working without needing any changes, and they'll only try their best) - and then they say that none of it is a guarantee anyway.

But, there's a lesson here. Nothing is a replacement for backups and you'll care more about your own stuff than anyone else will.

> America also became a major economic engine of the world by exerting control over people's bodies without paying them.

The actual economic data doesn't support that. Slaves were never more than 17% of the population, slavery was only ever legal in certain regions, and use of slaves was mostly relegated to a subset of agricultural labor. Moreover, slavery was outlawed in 1865 and the United States would not be considered an "economic engine of the world" until at least the 1880s, and it would not be considered one for its agricultural output but for its industrialized economy.

Furthermore, countries in the new world (e.g. Haiti, Brazil, that practiced slavery for longer and on a larger scale failed to develop strong economies anywhere to the degree that the United States did, so the line from "had slavery in the past" to "became economically prosperous" is tenuous. In fact, slave labor (and adjacent systems like serfdom) historically tends to hamper economic growth, prevent industrialization, and stifle innovation.
Thanks, it’s very insightful.

On NetMD, the funniest thing was that high end devices still accepted analog 3.5mm input for recording, and it was more reliable sometimes to run an audio cable from the computer, record on device and cut/rename the tracks afterwards than to transfer by USB (or it was the only choice in the early mac days). The only downside was the fixed compression rate.
I don't know what meaning "support" is carrying here so it's hard to mount a clear defense.

But they work closely together, and each's work depends, to some extent, on the other. So they each have certain incentives, which lead them to generally act in certain ways towards each other.

I am comfortable calling that support? Could you suggest another concise, easily understood alternative term, if you have one in mind?
Yeah, could be, though I think the two in combination probably makes for a force multiplier.
I'm sure in the end the way it works is you get the fine because the cop was not originally seeking you out, you sought them out.

IE, you have a right to film your interaction about violating the 8ft rule just like you are allowed to film your interaction about breaking a speed limit. And just like you might actually be guilty of beeaking the speed limit, you might actually be guilty of breaking the 8ft rule, of someone else's interaction.

It's not even really invalid, just somehow still pretty convenient for one party, and it's the party that already wields the power of the state.

Let me correct that:

Standard protocol is to "assume it's a gun".

So if I understand this correctly, data mesh is just data mart, that doesn't bring data in database as a table, but uses S3 storage instead (I assume because thats cheaper in the cloud?)

I don't think we have the same definition of "obsolete" (C is definitely not "no longer produced or used"). There is absolutely no requirement to use C and you could implement it directly in Assembly if you chose, or in many other languages (most of which pre-date C).
The question of how is beyond the scope but the implications of this specific legislation sure is. It is incredibly open to abuse and arguably because of existing legislation already surrounding interfering with police entirely unnecessary outside of its very obvious abuse potential.

Police should be subject to more scrutiny and not less. This specifically makes it easier for them to evade scrutiny. I struggle to see any good faith argument that leads to less accountability or evidence in general. It’s almost comedic in a “What are you afraid of if you have nothing to hide” sense that is often applied in the other direction of police having authority beyond what is reasonable.
Not only in the past either, there are ongoing scams where elders are being preyed upon to inject stem cells into various organs (including where they end up blind etc.)

There's no magic. you need a core team that pivots from writing code at O(n) cost enterprise wide to more or less amortized O(1) where n is the amount of work required to process a new data stream - ie having to write code once per stream vs once for a standardized stream that gets reused. With only datamesh I don't think it's going to work but with standardized tools that allow your teams to write transformations and code as data then every team effectively gets access to a self-service data warehouse with only access to pre-approved happy paths that can be automatically monitored for the most part. That's where you gain in efficiency and can let your BI teams focus on BI and not boilerplate code, infrastructure, conformity, etc.
Looks like you failed to absorb the point of the previous comment: No actual criticism—just straight up "look at the weirdo". Instead of addressing that, you just embraced it:

> I mean, that is weird

So? The purpose of my comment wasn't to dispute that it was weird. Want to stipulate that it's weird? Fine, granted. Pointing out that something is weird, however, is not a sufficient substitute for substance.
Thou Old Serpent
in the US that's the District Attorney or Attorney General, i think, but forget which is which.
Yes, to their own disadvantage. My argument is that they would persuade many more people to their cause. Is your argument that they shouldn't do that, or that you don't think it would work?
Well why not address the elephant in the room. He's not going about his message subtlety:

"You used the word Being. Can you explain what you mean by that?

Being is the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death. However, Being is not only beyond but also deep within every form as its innermost invisible and indestructible essence. This means that it is accessible to you now as your own deepest self, your true nature. But don't seek to grasp it with your mind. Don't try to understand it. You can know it only when the mind is still. When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally. To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of “feeling- realization” is enlightenment." Ch. 1 The Greatest Obstacle to Enlightenment

There it is. That's what he considers to be God. Mind you, those are just the words he chose. He mentions that words are merely signposts. Think of pointers in programming languages.

"If you are unable to look beyond such interpretations and so cannot recognize the reality to which the word points, then don't use it. Don't get stuck on the level of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It's an abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself. The word honey isn't honey. You can study and talk about honey for as long as you like, but you won't really know it until you taste it. After you have tasted it, the word becomes less important to you. You won't be attached to it anymore. Similarly, you can talk or think about God continuously for the rest of your life, but does that mean you know or have even glimpsed the reality to which the word points? It really is no more than an obsessive attachment to a signpost, a mental idol." Ch 6 Look beyond the Words

>I don't see how nuclear proliferation is in the long term security of any country on earth

PRC and India are already in rough nuclear neighbourhoods, while they don't want any more regional proliferation, it's not exactly severely against their interests if US/EU are also encumbered with similar regional threats. Like PRC doesn't want NK to have nukes, but if NK must get nukes, then they better not be limited to short range nukes limited to region, including PRC's backyard - they better have ICBMs that can threaten US as well.

The international community isn't good at stopping wars conducted by major powers. It's not designed to be.

Reading between the lines the purpose of the bill is not to make police jobs easier by keeping clear space around them.

It can still do a lot of damage. Arrest and exposure to the criminal legal system carries heavy costs and risks for very many people. Those things aren't undone when, years later, it gets declared unconstitutional because someone else's case finally made it through the process.

Which version?

With current posits, they're a clever way to give more bits to precision near 1 and more bits to exponent near 0 and infinity, but if you're not overflowing or underflowing then it's a marginal improvement at best. Then Unum glues intervals on top, right? But you could do intervals with normal floats too. And you still won't get the correct answer, you'll just know the error exploded. Is the giant accumulator feature able to help here?

For the other versions I tend to get completely lost.
I'd agree
For what it's worth, that book is probably most to blame for shoving me hard from Christianity to secular agnosticism. I grew up being able to feel God's presence and love. The Power of Now helped me look at where that feeling originates (internally), how it is connected to me, and how universal it is across various traditions and religions throughout time. What is it? I don't know. But calling it God and being done with it doesn't describe it well. It's a part of you and your brain is involved in the process.
