You're entitled to your preferences and your own fork of the GNU Parallel. I'll even help you out with that - all you need to do to remove the citation message is to comment out lines 1840-1843 in "src/parallel" file.

Just please don't demand everyone else (i.e. distro maintainers) to stab the main developer in the back just to accommodate your preferences.
How do you know it hasn't been? I'm sure it has. So much money on defense makes it easy to fund massive projects without notice.

What will be hysterical is in fifty years when it all becomes unclassified after the new weapon has to be used outing its existence and we all learn that there was a deep state after all and they hid the existence of the weapon from Trump. I'll be long dead, but I would have enjoyed it immensely.

What would be even better is an announcement like, "The US has voluntarily destroyed all of its nuclear weapons and generators and welcomes the world to verify there is no longer any massively fisionable matter anywhere in the country. Also, along with this announcement we have constructed a 600 mile long accelerator which can instantly detect and detonate any such material found anywhere in the world, instantly. Everyone's nuclear weapons are now their own worst nightmare and we encourage all countries to rid themselves of such weapons as quickly as possible. Starting with you, Russia."

Can you imagine?
If the Mongol attacks had reached the west. First time, the Mongols would kill all the peasants outside the castles and city walls. Or the peasants would join the mongols. The absence of peasants meant the cities were starving.
Do you have any evidence of these claims? A news article, for example?

I knew someone who worked briefly at the Salvation Army. They said it was shockingly efficient and effective at its charitable mission.
I imagine 'reluctant lockdowns' also create unclear messaging, so the general public is less likely to know or follow lockdown rules, making them less effective.

As I understand it, lockdowns were generally put in place to stop the hospital system from collapsing under the case load - so I imagine the higher the case count (which typically increases during the first weeks of the lockdown due to lead time) the more time you'd need to resupply, reorganize, process the patients coming through the system, etc.
This is one of the reasons I'm bullish on no-code doc-apps like Coda [0]. I recently started consulting with someone who calls himself "The Coda Guy" and pulls together truly wizard-like apps out of Coda [1]. (Coda is effectively a hybrid of Excel, Google Docs, and Notion.)

I think the "Excel+" category should receive a lot more attention than it does now. I can easily see "no-code" tools like Coda taking over Salesforce and effectively filling the niche you describe.

> I grew up hearing a lot of buzz for concept maps (or mind maps as I heard). I never found them to be as powerful as advertised.

Agreed. I find they constrain thoughts far more than just a simple list. However, I know that they are helpful for some people.
People are very good at putting 2 and 2 together and getting 655.
The majority opinion I believe is that there is no common ancestor to all of today's languages, implying there have been several languages without parents. Of course, that's a thin majority, and those that believe it aren't that attached because there's no real way to know for sure. It would be neat if languages all had a common ancestor though, because that would leave open the possibility that language developed evolutionarily alongside our ability to understand it. Then maybe no language ever would have been spontaneous.
Why would they be sorry? They’re the ones who are missing millions? of Euros in revenue due to this issue while the passengers just had to take a bus or bike somewhere. They probably would tell you that if you had to bike, it’s healthier that way. A little bit of rain won’t make you melt.

Agreed, except for the spreadsheets. Please get people to use server based databases instead. They are no longer difficult or expensive to install or use and make life so much better even for 'interns' and it will reduce their workload dramatically as well as increasing the quality of the solution..
it sounds like a joke because people who cannot lower their expectations don't believe those who did and their new found happiness must be a lie.

Hiring at FAANGs isn't a matter of "pass the tech test and you win a job". There are lots of other parts to the hiring process. A recommendation from a person high-up in the company, or a Stanford degree, still carries weight. Leetcode is an additional barrier, that people with a privileged background can buy help to pass, and where having the resources to stop working to study full time is immensely useful. People who don't have wealthy parents or personal wealth can't do that.

I believe Leetcode makes tech more exclusive, not less.

just like the field of medicine or law owes you nothing, the tech industry owes you nothing. it does not need to solve your problems. it is annoying that people think it should.

the reason that tech prep and tech programs and STEM are promoted, and kids are sold on “learn to code”, is to LOWER THE COST OF DEVELOPMENT.
Do note that the gpu shortage is somewhat ending,finally. Doesn't mean prices are back to decent amounts, but we went from "no gpu available" to "there are gpus on amazon"
I'm confused by stories like this. I've installed both Windows 10 and 11 recently, and never had to create a Microsoft account for either one. It felt a bit like going to the old toilet with "beware of the leopard" on the door, but the option was there. Never had to forcibly disconnect the network, just repeatedly confirm that I really wanted the "limited experience". (Better yet, create an online account!)

Is there a difference between countries or architectures or something? Are they serving a different pile of bullshit to Americans thinking they're already numb to this kind of crap?
Imagine if we did that all the time! An online ride board.
> it has been fascinating to watch how the current style of tech interviews has opened doors for a lot of smart, motivated people

And also closed the door for lots of smart, motivated people who are excellent engineers, but do badly in stressed up situations where they need to do something (coming up with an answer on the spot, usually w.o. being able to do any research) that the job they are being interviewed for rarely if ever actually demands of them.

There's not enough information in the original maps to truly exploit all the features of a raytracing and global illumination engine. None of the textures have normal maps for example, so all of those beautiful bricks and such look flat as a board. Lighting was only defined ambiently at the entire sector level (think shapes on the map) so there's no information on light source locations, direction, spread, etc. So you're really just left with some fancy dynamic lighting and shadows--which IMHO still looks pretty cool (love the shadows and green glow as a BFG ball whizzes by) but yeah it doesn't look anything like a game designed with these features in mind from the start.
I’m puzzled by the lack of resilience in retail sales. I thought “always be closing” was supposed to apply to all types of
sales. A receipt pad and a credit card imprinter under the counter would be a very cheap backup. It would be slow, but at least they would be closing.

It can even be considered a national security issue in the case of food, medicines and other vital services.
Someone who pours their resources at helping others get happiness, but never achieving his own, will eventually turn cynical imho.

I am part of a 40+ author team that published this perspective article. In this work, we discuss and recommend bio-inspired approaches that we believe are crucial to in our quest to create machine learning techniques that are capable of learning throughout their operational lifetime. This desired approach is much the same way humans learn as opposed to most current ML algorithms which having training and inference phases.

It would be a thrill to hear the HN community's opinions and ideas as I continue this research.

I used these and I think they are OK, but I'd still just go with Firefox as the simplest solution, particularly if you want to convince others (particularly those close to you) whether to switch browsers.

Isn't the scarcity dynamic simply... shifted left? Your point is that it's trivial to duplicate software and distribute it and there's no (or extremely low) incremental cost in doing so, but we both know the cost of software comes from, you know, people who have spent time to learn how to write software and then dedicating their waking hours to do so for years on end. There's scarcity in the number of developers available to perform that job.

Now, a situation where I agree with the core thesis of "to introduce scarcity dynamics where none exist" is around, say, virtual real estate, or the most obvious one of them all: NFTs.
Aren't you just moving the complexity from tags to the filesystem that way? How does that solve the problem in a way that tags don't?

niacinamide (the amide form is post chemical reaction).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niacin#Adverse_effects

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tryptophan#/media/File:Tryptop...
Tryptophan -> 5HTP -> Serotonin
Tryptophan -> Nicotinic acid -> Niacinamide

One thing they dont mention about nicotinic acid is it will soften your bones possibly because prostaglandins uses calcium inside the cell to rebind DNA. So then it becomes a case of take some K2-mk4 to help repair your bones, and thats when people are forced to explore the chemical pathways inside their bodies to compensate for other effects which perhaps they dont want.
The opposite would be BionTech, there it took years of mRNA research, and a pandemic, to get their breakthrough. There is tech and there is tech it seems.
> If you believe life is meaningless, it is. If you believe there's meaning, there is.

If you believe that there's meaning, and struggle to achieve said meaning, but ultimately failing, or ultimately proven that the struggle was ineffective at achieving said meaning, you will turn bitter and end up unhappy.

If you believe life is meaningless, you will observe that your internal model is correct, and thus be vindicated, if not cynical towards everything.

That's why ignorance is bliss.
It is a mainstream website mirroring the mainstream opinion in Japan so the target of your very valid criticism is the Japanese public, not Apple.

Similar would be criticizing Apple to not include foxnews.com in the list. It's not Apple's fault that American culture has brought us to such a website becoming mainstream.
The complete and utter failure of the web as a platform is evidenced by the umpteenth framework offering the same set of the most basic components: avatars, badges, radio buttons, selects.

Kudos to Shoelace for including a draggable splitter which is usually missing from other libs.

The web is stuck in the perpetual "reinvent the concept of circle" stage without even moving onto "reinvent the wheel" stage. This "great and new" lib is literally indistinguishable from, say, jQuery UI from almost 20 years ago.
Early naturalization for spouses in Germany can happen after 3 years of legal residence, but they only moved mid-2020 according to wikipedia, so she shouldn't be a citizen just yet.

However, extraditing just her (cannot extradite him, he is a citizen) will be probably hard due to technicalities and bureaucracy. The health condition may be a factor in a German court decision. Furthermore the alleged crimes and penalties are a major hurdle... According to the twitter thread, she'd face up to 95 years imprisonment, which creates two legal problems for any extradition: It is a vastly longer sentence than what she'd face in Germany for equivalent crimes - so a German court might require assurances first that in the US she wouldn't face a maximum sentence so vastly different than one she'd face in Germany [0] - and 95 years could be considered by a German court as an effective death sentence and Germany does not allow death sentences - this was the case when Turkey wanted some PKK people extradited on terrorism charges, and had agreed to max life imprisonment without parole instead of a death penalty, but the highest German court then ruled against extradition, saying life imprisonment without parole / likely death in prison is equivalent to a death sentence, as it removes any hope for the prisoner to one day become a free person again, and considered that cruel and inhumane[1].

I'd think she might not have been extradited yet because behind the scenes the US and Germany might be still haggling about what charges with what maximum sentences she might be charged under, before the German state prosecutor office files for extradition on behalf of the US. If she manages to become naturalized before that, that may mean game over for any extradition.

Germany could refuse naturalization based on her alleged criminal behavior, but that's unlikely, as she wasn't convicted and as the alleged crimes are non-violent; Germany will usually only refuse naturalization of spouses when there have been previous convictions or solid allegations of extremist and/or grossly violent crimes.

[0] E.g. Puigdemont, one of the leaders of the Catalonian separatist movement, was requested to be extradited from Germany to Spain on the charge of "rebellion". German courts found that there is no equivalent crime in the German penal code, and refused to extradite on this charge. Spain would have had to drop the rebellion charge, and have him extradited on the lesser misuse of public funds charge, which they weren't willing to do, so the extradition proceedings were aborted.

Oh buddy, it's _$12k_ now.

And yeah, the calculus here was to outfit every vehicle with the hardware, whether purchased or not, because the cost of the hardware is made up for not merely in potential future conversions/purchases, but in the ability to collect reams of data from a fleet of vehicles constantly annotating and sending back information to their model.

To wit, the FSD stuff is indeed all on-car, but the FSD-as-a-work-in-progress-constantly-evolving requires significant tesla-run services: they ML work is being done centrally, and then updated models are pushed down to the cars to, hopefully not run down innocent pedestrians in the street.
Probably an accident, but assembly lines are often optimized. I know that my old Isuzu trooper had wiring for heated seats. I just had to install a button to activate it and get a seat from the junkyard to hook in.

It really depends on how a manufacturer does it but in some cases, it's cheaper to install the part and just deactivate it if the user doesn't purchase it instead of tooling two different lines in the factory

I don't know about “McKinsey infiltration into many a large F100+” first-hand, but from context I'd guess it's simply getting consultants from McKinsey & Company[0] jobs in the ‘infiltrated’ firm, on the basis that it has no in-house employees capable of properly setting up / running the bizarrely complex and idiosyncratic SCM-ERP-HCM-BI-etc. software in question.

Basically: You have a problem; Oracle/SAP says they'll solve it for you. Now you have a second problem; they say McKinsey'll solve it for you. Now you have …

Ha! This explains why I always get "cookieandkate.com" suggested when I want to visit another site that starts with "cookie". I was extremely frustrated that it suggested that site with higher priotity than the one I actually visit mostly every day. And I had never myself gone to that site.

Now I know why...
Caught my eye too... in theory possible if they had fled 2019, but only barely. You need 2 years of marriage and 3 years of residence in Germany to get it.
Which company did this? Genuinely curious because the prep I was given from Amazon and Facebook for their interview processes was very short and obviously did not entail the full extent of leetcoding required to get into a position at one of those companies.
Yes, but the question was about Hungary, not the UK.

Though since there's no election for a while and they don't apparently get elected based on promises delivered, just promised made, they haven't shied away from breaking the pensioner-bait promises anyway for this year and removing the triple lock (pensions rise at least as fast as the largest of inflation, earnings or 2.5%).
it's not quite impossible, there are some more "out there" server-side rendering approaches which would work:

> At least the single mom in Philly won't have the fact that she didn't go to Stanford completely invalidate her as a potential candidate

And when will the single mom in Philly find the time to memorize as many (or more, after all, its a competitive market) default-interview-questions, as someone born into wealth whith lots of free time on their hands and the financial resources to pay someone specializing in prepping them for exactly these interviews?

So, what did really change?
> is to LOWER THE COST OF DEVELOPMENT.

you say it like it's a bad thing.

Lowering the cost of _anything_ is good for society overall. It makes this resource more affordable for all entities requiring such resources, and it increases total output.

Doctors today costs too much, because there's a lobby group called the AMA that restricts entrants (rightly or wrongly). i would argue that it's better to have lower cost, because this service is valuable to people, and if the cost matches the value (or exceed the value), then some people will miss out on being able to utilize this resource.

What I've observed is if something is breakthrough and profitable we directly see it on streets instead of years of the related experiments in lab.
It sounds like you've described a "system design" interview, which all (to my knowledge) of the big tech companies utilize for more senior roles, and which also have a wealth of study materials for.

I'm also curious what your pass/fail conditions are? I find that if the pass/fail conditions aren't rigorous, then you open yourself up to things like "I just really like that guy," and select for people more similar to you rather than people who might bring the most to the table.

In Indonesia the past is another country
It was not due to terrain but to Europe's encastellation. The first two invasions of Poland were devastating because the country's villages lacked stone fortifications and were instead still based around traditional Slavic wooden forts. This was not the case further West and while the Mongols could conduct siege warfare, being so far afield and having to besiege the vast number of castles that dotted the Western European landscape would have completely reversed their momentum.

When the Mongols returned to Poland a third time, in 1287-1288, with an even larger force than before, the invasion completely failed because the country's fortifications had been upgraded. The Mongols suffered significant losses and were turned back. During the first two invasions, Western Europe was significantly better fortified than Poland of 1287, so they would almost certainly have been smashed.
It is quite a sight to watch someone explain to someone else that something that they read on the internet, might not be believable.

Many years ago I worked in the same small department as another engineer who was using the same development gear as I was. We had a fairly formal schedule with well defined times for tea breaks.

We generally sat opposite each other at a table drinking tea and eating biscuits while describing our problems to each other. Neither of us ever really said much about the other person's problems, we certainly didn't attempt to offer any real solutions, but it was striking how many problems that had seemed intractable before the tea break were trivially soluble afterward.

We were designing and programming embedded controllers in the early '80s.
And missing details like, did his job require data analysis? Was he involved in coming up with the resolution in the post mortem, or was it done by someone unrelated?
Absolutely, our target markets don't overlap much (in the early stages) so people who are coming to us for specific issues, we will be recommending to sleep labs.

However, built into how we are going to market, it is doubtful we will have many people who are looking for solutions to their sleep problems. Ignore our current landing page, that is a broad generalization, we will update to be much more specific when the time is right.
If we define any difference in outcome as discrimination (which I don't find useful, but I'll accept it for the sake of argument), then I think we should make a clear distinction between discriminatory factors which the individual affected can control and change, and discriminatory factors which are outside of the control of the individual.
