In what language? Isn't the basic case of fizzbuzz a procedure/function that takes a number and returns a string (if you are strongly typed, not able/willing to return a complex type)?

Printing and reading input would be side-effects, surely? (so you plug the input to your fizzbuzz, and the output to a stream, maybe via a formater?)

Questions You Should Ask Yourself When Ramping into an Existing Team
Where does Nova fall short to you?
This is a tricky choice. I think deep inside, you know the answer because the choice is deeply personal.

I faced a similar situation years ago. Go into debt with a much higher ranked school or exit debt free from a lower ranked state school. I chose the latter, because deep inside I liked the idea of being debt free. I didn't regret it.

I went to grad school at a higher ranked school with financial aid.

Here are my notes:

- Opportunities in research, and employment are better at higher ranked schools. So going to a better school gives you an edge initially.

- You will have motivated students in all the schools. It's your choice to build your circle.

- I did find the quality of instruction better in my grad school, but it highly depends on the course/Prof. you take.

- the location of the school does matter as well in terms of opportunity and cost of living.

I think some criteria you can think about:

- long term potential of yourself

- would you regret not taking MIT

- how much debt can you endure, would it affect you?

One piece of advice (take or leave). Whatever choice you make, make it a point to not regret it in the future.

Good luck!!
Ask HN: What are the biggest challenges you faced while building your startup?
I have been trying to build my startup since eight months. Everything has been difficult. Right from the start until now I have been facing several challenges. I just wanted to hear your thoughts on two things:

1. What are the biggest challenges you faced while validating your startup ideas?
2. What are biggest challenges you faced while starting to build your startup?
Fascinating Q :) MIT compared to 'Z' doesn't sound good value to me! $180k debt you wouldn't have otherwise had, on top of having to do extra internships / work-study that presumably otherwise wouldn't have been required, which take away time that could've been used for studying better and having more social life / broader experiences. Sounds to me like an offer that's not an offer - "Congrats, we've deemed you clever enough to attend our prestigious institution, now pay us a s** load of money". If it were me, I'd do the calcs, what salary might you get, how long would that enable you to clear your debt in, what things in life does having to service the debt prevent or delay you from doing. If you really still want to go despite that, maybe its worth it.. but then perhaps request deferred entry for a year and try to get a very well-paid internship beforehand, to lower the up-front debt perhaps. Or... if it has to be a top tier school, consider another country! Even foreign student fees in other countries top universities would seem unlikely to produce that much debt... 1/3 to 1/2 maybe....
This inventory metric is simply active listings. It has nothing to do with structural housing supply. It also doesn't include houses that are listed and sold within the same month

If 1m people decided to sell tomorrow, suddenly inventory would be normal. At the end of the day what matters is how many housing units are there and how many households. To say there's a shortage is simply wrong, given that the ratio is well in line with historical norms.

The number of active listings is low because a surge of demand due to low interest rates and then later FOMO ate through active inventory. If rates hit 5% within the month, you'll be surprised how quickly inventory returns to normal.

Way too much statistics crimes when talking about housing
Whether undergraduates (really their parents and the government supplying their loans and grants) attend and pay for a school is based on the "brand" and more than the education, so the institution cares more about the brand than the education.

Research, however, directly brings in money through grants, and "better" research faculty publish more and bring in more grant money.

The incentives are very straightforward and the universities are responding to them.

If NIH, DOD, etc., had a metric on grant applications asking what percentage of department faculty were in full-time professional teaching positions (not adjuncts, educators with no research expectation, often called "Professor of Practice") targeting ≥20%, this ship would right itself in a couple of years.

Happy that Microsoft lost the mobile wars. So just wait 10 years and Windows will be gone anyway.
I haven't heard of that monitor, but looked it up as looked interesting - people say it has burn in, that it randomly turns off when using M1 Mac Mini, that you can't get full resolution on some Macs (though maybe they used wrong cables) and that can only update the firmware via Windows.

I think this is where Apple 'just does stuff right' - you know if you buy the Studio Monitor that it will just work, having built in webcam is really nice, I presume it will charge a laptop etc.

Price is steep though.
Can you elaborate that? For each BGA ball, I need one trace width of trace, plus one spacing width to the next trace, right? There's a space on the other side as well, but that's already 'provided' by the trace above.

Or do you mean if you want to connect to both the outer as well as the inner layer of balls? Then you'd be right I think, but that was not what I meant; I only calculated the spacing to connect to the outer layer and nothing more.
This is just lazy and risk-averse management. With the list of companies behind AV1 is certainly looked like the codec of the future several years ago. While predicting the future can be dicey, switching to AV1 should have been fairly obvious. Everyone waiting to see if it will actually take off has simply delayed the takeoff. Software decode has been around for years, so content providers could have encoded and used that for desktop users, or even people on mobile - half of them will blame their devices when the battery doesn't last.
A really great read. I found particularly interesting the long comment about the Hertz inconsistency, I had no idea the S.I. Hertz, when applied to circular motion, was not a full circle per second.
One doesn't need any specific background to go to law school in the US. People go with STEM backgrounds all the time.

I would say to strongly consider going if these social causes are sufficiently specific (sounds like they are) AND if you really care about them enough to be able to put up with any BS in the actual act of lawyering to pursue such litigation.

If you're in tech, I can say with like 80-90% confidence that the actual experience of working in the law is going to feel like bullshit. But, if lawyering is a means to an end for you, then I think it can be worth it.

> Going to law school seemed to me a good option for understanding how to effect change through the legal system.

Do you know anyone working at a policy-focused legal non-profit? Paradigmatic example would be the ACLU, immigration-focused non-profits, or environmental orgs. I would ask them for a better take on whether effecting such change is even possible.

If you're willing to share what your particular social causes are, I can perhaps give better advice, but ultimately the kinds of changes you want to see are probably better pursued through lobbying and other such advocacy as opposed to actually lawyering. FWIW, during law school, I interned at the ACLU and one of the bigger environmental orgs (and also at the Manhattan DA's office and for a state appellate judge in CA, but those aren't really applicable here).

To throw a wrinkle into that, the joke was lost on me, despite being someone who logged several hundred (if not thousand) hours into the original Starcraft between 1998-2003 or so.

However, the distinction is my idea of "online play" back in the day was either playing with friends whom I knew personally, or playing an "All vs Comp" match where several human players would play against a single computer component. And we'd still lose about half the time.

But point being, I never really played PvP, and I don't think that term "counter" came from the original Starcraft manual or strategy guides. It was a term that evolved into the meta community. And if you weren't sufficiently plugged into that community, you wouldn't encounter the term.

There's probably tons of other examples of this, e.g. in the fighting game community.
That is awesome, wow!
One good thing is that at least a mainstream media is getting quite details on what's actually going on despite the ratio of signal/noise is on floor.

Thread.sleep (the java example) is ancient, but java is at least consistent and uses millis for everything. Almost all other timing functions in java have a 2-arg setup: `.foo(5, TimeUnit.HOURS)`. Where TimeUnit is an enum that has the usual options (HOURS, MILLIS, SECONDS, etc). It doesn't go beyond 'days' (once you get to months in particular, is that 28 days, 30 days, 31 days, 30.437 days (which is the actual average)....).

While I don't agree with him entirely. Brian Caplan has some interesting thoughts on the topic of education.

Around the idea that most of the value is around signalling to others (Via credentials), rather than what you learn.*

Certainly from talking to other people about their recent university education (UK), most people seem to agree that they leant & retained very little.

I can't help but wonder if for a lot of people an apprenticeship scheme would be better overall.

*Summarising a whole book in a sentence is rather difficult, and I surely didn't do it justice.
In Golang, I've seen time.Sleep(2 * time.Second). That's pretty explicit, so, it seems someone carried the whole concept forward.
That article is pretty confusing, since it only talks about the power of those batteries, not how much energy they can store. Or is it confusing MWh with MW?
Why do US universities use students as teaching assistants in the first place?

If you study for a PhD in the UK then the academic and research work is what you are there for and all that you do. And that means you get it done in much less time.
Not a vegan. But this is a load of nonsense from someone who seems to be masking his own problems through writing rage.

Plant based diets are better for the environment. Currently the level of meat intake is both bad for our health and for the environment.

Yes, cows, pigs and chicken aren't "natural". Unfortunately, because of industrialized farming we're eating animals that literally live in shit and get a lot of antibiotics into them. The environmental pollution of industrial farming harms you even if you only eat organic.

People are Omnivores. That means we can choose what to eat especially in this modern age where nutrition is better understood. Some vegan food is great but I need my pizza... I can actually live with most vegan burgers today, they aren't the best but to save the environment and a few grams of fat... Worth it.
While I don't necessarily disagree with the initial statement, I will say that Linux Desktop has its own kind of abusive relationship, especially if you have to deal with certain parts of the community. GNOME in particular is pretty user-hostile in both design and in its community interactions, and while you can use a different DE GNOME is the default for the most popular and recommended distributions.

Personally I've stuck with Windows because I rather hate the package manager/repo model that Linux distros use, where you get your choice between "up to date but frequently broken" rolling-release[0] or "several years out of date but probably stable". To me, the idea it is considered reasonable to expect a user to set up a dev environment and compile software from source is ludicrous, but until relatively recently that's been the norm[1]. Thankfully, AppImage and Flatpak have been gaining popularity and making that much less of a problem.

Now the two biggest things keeping me from switching immediately are that I have an Nvidia 1080ti and buying an equivalent AMD card in this market is insane[2], and my Oculus isn't supported at all[3]. Still, I'll go to Linux before I go to Win 11.

You will, though, end up fighting the system in some ways. CI/CD systems, unit test frameworks, configuration data approaches, etc, aren't equipped to (easily) spin up databases and connect to them. At least not in the more rapid cycle early end of development, versus slower cycling integration tests.
Nice, thank you for the notice about the inner layers.

They don't make a big deal about it when they improve the capabilities: in the past they've also improved minimum via ring diameter from 0.45mm to 0.4mm, which doesn't sound like much but it allows you to fit the vias in between 0.8mm pads on inner layers.

Patiently waiting for the day microvias become too cheap to meter.
I would agree… except that MOST programming technologies and processes are widely misunderstood, and it feels increasingly so.

Get 10 random senior programmers in a room, and see if they agree on matters of design, code structure, testing, frameworks, system architecture. I’ve been part of summits trying to do this several times over the decades, and the only agreement we wound up with was that “Layered abstractions are sometimes a good idea”.

There is a lot of duplication of effort in languages, frameworks, and tools driven by “I can’t be bothered to learn this new idea, I know better”, and a lot of misunderstanding of even first principles.

Something like TDD (and other XP practices like pairing) reminds me of diet/fitness /nutrition regimens that are notoriously difficult to comply with. This isn’t to say they don’t work: athletes and bodybuilders do exist, as do many successful TDD practitioners. It’s just human nature to avoid things that require mental change, or to be prone to self deception in their application.

Well, that is somewhat peculiar…You seem to be agreeing with me disagreeing with you.

From the yardstick of “specificity” my critique of your conjecture is precisely on the grounds that it is too specific; or not general enough.

In particular - the purpose behind my words is to understand why you are constraining thought/expression to merely recursive convergence and to the detriment of recursive divergence.

Why the arbitrary specificity?

In general - I don’t understand the purpose of your conjecture either.
I meant that ideally, they should be using the same domain as the bank itself. However, it's not uncommon for banks to use the ACS domain their vendor provides, which is the case here. The ACS vendor still requires passing PCI-3DS and PCI-DSS in either case, though.

My experience has been nothing like yours. In my experience with Ubuntu 21.10, Wayland is still a glitchy, bug-ridden mess, despite more than a full decade of work. Just some random things that don't work:

- If I alt-tab, I need to move the mouse before I can use my scroll wheel. If I try to scroll before moving the mouse, nothing happens. It's almost as if I need to move the mouse for Gnome to realize that a different window has focus

- Basic Gnome commands (like restarting) are unavailable

- For some reason, Gnome on Wayland can't handle Bluetooth as well as Gnome on X11. I used to have pretty regular Bluetooth disconnections on Wayland. Switching back to X cured the problem

It's tempting to say that Gnome is the problem, but Gnome on X11 works just fine.

To put it succinctly, it's MacOS interface for linux.

Yes, insofar as recent versions of MacOS have also been glitchy, bug-ridden messes.

I have no guarantee that I’d get into grad school at MIT even coming out of MIT’s undergraduate program, but the chances are significantly higher.

are you sure about that? Multiple tier 1 schools have a semi-official policy against reacceptance of undergrads into grad; idea being that it’s better for your development to get exposed to different university cultures.

Talking about wonderful backwards compatibility, and then talking inconsistent UI design is kinda ironic though. Because all these older themed windows are using the exact feature you told you love in the opening paragraphs of the piece: "Backwards compatibility".

So, why Microsoft shouldn't use the exact feature they have built so painstakingly? Also, forcing these older UI toolkits to render the same as the latest iteration would break many many things.

We're talking about an OS which includes almost complete copies of its older versions and some patched installations of InstallShield to begin with.

I'm hoping someone who's actually studied philosophy can weigh in on this:

I notice that almost all debates on these topics skip over the question of what moral framework will underpin the discussion.

It seems to me that a lot rides on that, for several reasons:

- There's a real chance that the participants don't actually agree on the unstated framework, and

- It makes it hard to actually argue from shared premises to a compelling conclusion.

So my impression is that most of these discussions end up with people arguing past each other, with little to show for it.

Am I missing something? I can't believe this is purely a modern phenomenon.
