I don't think that's a good comparison. Paint is to Photoshop as a crayola 64 pack of crayons is to a paint brush and palette. Yeah Michelangelo did crazy stuff with old tools but he'd still use the same thing today, he'd just be able to speed up the first part where he's just clearing away material by using a jackhammer or something but he'd still use a chisel at the end. He wouldn't have been able to do the roof of the Sistine Chapel with crayons, though.
SQLite is nice, but if you have a JDK, H2 is so much better.
Why not write it to a different file
coding interviews do not guarantee that someone can actually write software. it is just an indication if the person grinded leetcode non stop and memorized all the solutions to the leetcode questions.
To prove a breach of fiduciary duty, you generally have a very high burden of evidence, unless you can show some conflict of interest or obvious lack of deliberation.

Otherwise, the business judgement rule is applied, where the presumption is that the directors acted in good faith, and you would essentially have to prove that it is impossible for Twitter stock to grow beyond the current offer.
Can you provide a TL;DR of the article? I'm a DDG user but open to considering alternatives, never heard of kagi and tried searX a long time ago.

Currently, whenever DDG doesn't cut it, I add the !sp bang and get Google results through StartPage. I know that SP is owned by an advertising company but I still prefer them to straight up Google. I tried using searX to get proxied Google results but it required a few extra steps so I don't usually go for it.
I wish I could say the same. Most times it ended up one of two ways: Either the app is stuck doing GC, or it crashes with OutOfMemoryError: too many this or that handles, open pipes or something else.
No, "I'll vote as part of your bloc just pay me $50M" is obviously not an incidental agreement.
> The worst case scenario would be that Duckduckgo is actually secretly run by Google and the data being collecting from the service is being used to help fill your dossier at Google but if that's the case we're never going to know about it until a whistleblower comes forward.

The problem with this (and most other conspiratorial thinking) is that of course a whistleblower is going to come forward.

Are you thinking that every employee of DuckDuckGo that knows this (and many would have to), is paid so highly as to just be quiet? That not one of them thinks, "hey, it would be fun to be famous? It would be fun to expose this thing that is suddenly going to make me a hero to millions? I could write a book about it afterwards and make a ton of money..."

And of course, Google would consider this in the first place. Like "maybe this isn't a great idea, because secrets like that are hard to keep? And maybe this could destroy our company and that kind of risk isn't a great idea?"
I disagree with this hot take and I’m a hiring manager. I know for a fact recruiters aren’t going to be forwarding resumes from single moms who self-teach learn python the hard way purely because there’s no job experience or credential, even a shitty one. They won’t even give her a time of day to send a seedy LinkedIn message. Resumes like that will be sorted out even if she might be brilliant, intelligent, and just needs a chance.

At least boot camps I know do job placement as well as the camp itself. An entirely self taught person has all the chips stacked against them.
The problem is that the reasoning at the top isn't anything near what the drones implementing said policy at the bottom are doing.

There's like a hundred layers of people between Xi and the dudes beating dogs. It's like a game of telephone where some medical experts speculate about animal reservoirs, and somebody in the mayor's circle hears about it, and next thing you know they're giving covid tests to chickens. It's the same incentive problem as the Great Leap Forward in the 50s, failure is punished, so if there's even a hint that letting some cats go free will come back to bite you, why take that risk?

In some ways China's decision making is actually quite decentralized, in that the sheer mass of bureaucrats making decisions and carrying out actions is incredibly high. The center passes out a generalized order like "lockdown and limit covid spread" and leaves the implementation details to the next level. By the time it gets to your apartment community you're stuck with some uncle/auntie who spent their school years heckling teachers during the cultural revolution trying to make public health decisions.

TL;DR when China does something stupid and illogical it's not always because there's a nefarious plan. The system is just broken and causing suffering for no reason.
What's the sunken cost of this policy?
Your comment reminded me that I can see my nose.
They don't rely solely on Bing. If a popular site doesn't appear, it's definitely a conscious decision on their part.
I am not accepting it as gospel, just saying that it is exceedingly likely that china did avert 3 million deaths. The only counter suggestion is that they somehow managed to cover up these 3 million deaths and the associated covid spread.
Ask HN: How would you program a rule-based chatbot or web app?
I've done lots of old-school Prolog and CLIPS rule-based expert systems.

Now, zooming to the present, I want to support Ukraine with an in-browser app that teaches and applies international criminal law. (The "Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.)

Criminal Law — including the Rome Statute — always consists of a set of "elements" that need to be present. These change very infrequently, so I think that "hard-coding" them in a platform is fine. I don't believe I need any kind of self-discovery of rules and classifications.

Now, I've found a great Javascript, in-browser Prolog implementation, Tau Prolog. I've taken a first stab at some Prolog code.

What else should I consider? I'd like the system to support lots of info for the user such as how decisions were made, and what facts are missing in order to make a conclusion.

My rough initial code: https://github.com/public-law/war-crimes-explorer/blob/master/crimes.pl
Yeah, I mean, obviously atoms are not used for long term state storage, I'm not suggesting your replace your database with a atom. But it's useful for a lot of things that are not needed for long-term storage. And even more importantly, it demonstrates the example of how you can use the stateful repl to avoid restarting the full server on every change and still keep state around.
I think you underestimate how heavy the hand of regulation and administration is in certain districts and schools. She gives out a little as she can without having admin intervene in her classroom. There's just no way around the amount of time it takes to build a curriculum and grade 90-150 students worth of assignments and tests.

Regarding your second point, I'd argue that there's no high school level teaching job with work/life balance in our area due to state regulations.

Thanks for your input, but she does not want to be a SAHM and we've both worked together to put together the financial goals for our family. Our goals assume we both have careers, because we both want careers.
Out of interest any reason to select macports over brew? Since I started using mac brew seemed like the done thing
You're probably right. On the other hand he is one of their biggest users and has a lot of celebrity friends.

There's too much drama on real twitter about it anyway. They might be stupid enough to ban him too soon, and if they keep on doing that nobody will want to use it. A lot of the top users haven't tweeted in over a year.
I think at this point it's sheer stubbornness and to save face for the administration.

I personally believe that Zero Covid was a great strategy right out the gate but it's no longer appropriate since this is clearly a global pandemic... but maybe Xi is afraid of looking wrong in retrospect.
A truth about transmission types in Jeeps was revealed to me long ago in a high mountain pass. On a particularly steep climb with the transfer case in high range and my manual transmission in 3rd with the engine desperately in need of a downshift, I dropped it to 2nd as quick as I could, but even that rapid clutch and drop of thrust cost me a huge amount of momentum. My buddy crawled past in his automatic transmission Jeep. Lesson learned. Granted, these were naturally aspirated Jeeps in thin air, so fuel injected newer models would probably have done better. Anyway, to me this idea of an electric Jeep with a manual transmission doesn't really make much sense.
Society does not need higher and higher markets. In many ways it is the illusion of economic growth and treated as such. The brain and resource drain to financialization of everything from industries that actually produce something will be looked back upon poorly in the future.
I’d say I have always been conspicuously amazing at learning in isolation, from written text alone. However, it is still the case that I learn even better in a room with other people and some direction. So I can understand why it helps people. Also, it’s a kind of credential.

It seems that the level of sickness in society is going to increase due to widespread Covid infection. The question is - by how much? There likely will be more evidence of the ongoing impact on public health. Hopefully it won't be too high a health burden, or we may have to re-evaluate our response.
Technically he could - it would just be ludicrously expensive.
You have no idea what the circumstances were, her major life decisions are none of your business, plus it is entirely irrelevant to the lawsuit. For all you know the father died of something horrible and entirely out of their control, or maybe she isn't heterosexual, or there could be so many things. This comment seems short-sighted or flamebait, I cannot tell which.

There are footguns in every language. There are certainly more footguns in C, which you're trying to advocate for, if I understand correctly (although I'm really not sure what your point is).

FWIW, I haven't ever seen anyone use finalize() in Java. I don't doubt that it happens occasionally, but you can't blame a language for some of its users being incompetent.
That's covering up 300 deaths, not 3 million.

As I've said, it would be obvious from antibody tests if they did this.

Not going to keep responding, you are letting your feelings about China's government cloud your judgement on the facts.
Composite Rubber Tracks
Unfortunately in most industries I think you're right on it being a part-time job. Software engineers (myself included) are a pretty spoiled bunch!

Thanks for sending that link along! Contract work is definitely something to consider.
Enforcing silly, ineffective policies may serve the same purpose as publishing silly, unpersuasive propaganda, in the sense of this recent article:

I've hired plenty of engineers; most hiring managers know that.

Problem 1: it's too easy to apply to jobs. Unqualified people blast resumes at you. If each resume takes you 2-3 minutes for a fast discard, and 15+ minutes to really look at, but only a handful of seconds for someone to send to you...

Problem 2: interviews aren't all that useful, and junior people don't have a track record to rely on. When I hire someone, I'm investing piles of senior eng time onboarding, etc. A bootcamp is a useful filter for candidate being worth the effort (time, $, opportunity cost) to hire and train.

To quote you,

> People who require spoon-feeding and hand-holding have a steep hill to climb

A bootcamp -- much like a college degree -- shows drive, motivation, and the ability to execute over time. Is this exclusive to bootcamp or college graduates? Absolutely not, and I've hired people with neither. But again, hiring is very time expensive.
>Kernel development is hard, and bullshit doesn't go very far in that context.

I don't know what it is about Linux that makes people say this. Kernel development has most of the same constraints as any other embedded context, which Rust has plenty of focus on. No it's not as mature as C, but few languages are.

Plus if you go looking in the kernel you can still find plenty of bullshit hacky code. It's not special, it's just another random open source software. The quality very much depends on the individual maintainer of that subsystem and how much has been invested in that area.
What answer could they give for their actions that isn't immediately disprovable garbage?

Do you really think that discovery would show that this was all in good faith?

I'd bet heavily that a lot of ideological discussions would be disclosed. As that is completely contradictory to what Twitter claims is their goal, bad faith would be the only remaining option.
I greatly disagree with the idea that big cities are becoming "increasingly unlivable."

American cities, especially downtowns, are in the middle of doing the exact opposite of becoming unlivable. I'm not talking opinions here, I'm talking about factual changes in the context of American history.

American city downtowns started as, essentially, the entire city, with a diverse mix of residents, commerce, and industry. As the industrialization progressed, those downtowns morphed into commercial-only zones as most other uses migrated outward. [1]

Residential living was very rare in city centers in America, with only slum living left. Since then, however, American cities are re-introducing residential life to city centers and redesigning them around mixed use and essentially revitalizing them. [1]

So this idea that big cities are "increasingly unlivable" is more of a cynical opinion rather than a matter of historical fact.

Also, in terms of sustainability, cities still win out. Suburban and rural development fragments animal habitats and uses more land per person. More time and miles are needed in your car burning oil to get around. City dwellers who walk and take transit are more carbon efficient than suburban and rural drivers.

Counter-intuitively, water quality is better in cities where more people are connected to a treated municipal water source. Sewage is also better managed in cities. [2]

Now, on to what's my actual opinion...regarding asynchronous work: it's awesome if you're already at a senior level of skill, but to me it seems absolutely horrendous for new graduates and junior level employees. It's difficult to do "apprenticeship" asynchronously. The idea of a future of asynchronous work is also incredibly software-biased. For example, when Apple wants their employees back in the office there's good reason: they design hardware.

A full-frame 8K image with 32 bits per pixel takes up 128MB of RAM. An FHD one is 16 times less, 8MB. This is not a lot of memory for an appliance in 2002, when HDMI was introduced.
Being an autodidact is not a requirement for being smart enough to become an engineer. Some of the most brilliant people I know happen to have a very hard time with self-teaching.

Everyone has different learning styles. Also, being an autodidact myself, having mentorship earlier in my career still accelerated my learning and knowledge significantly.
>Twitter stock price was higher than Musk’s offer for most of 2021.

That's cute but the past is gone. Twitter is clearly going downhill, both with their product and with their management (good thing they got rid of Dorsey, but perhaps that was too little too late), the stock just follows on that. If anything, people like Musk are the ones who still attract interest to the platform.

>Twitter can bring more value to shareholders with or without Elon

Twitter is on a very dangerous spot right now, their MAUs peaked long ago as young people go to other platforms, and overall, everyone is a bit of tired of the kind of discourse that predominates there, for instance, Trump was banned and I STILL find out everything about him because the people there (left and right-wing) are absolutely obsessed with him.

Honestly, Twitter is the one social media platform that I wouldn't really mind if it just disappeared. At least Facebook has some family members in there and some pictures from my earlier years. Twitter brings nothing of value to my life and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like that.
What about taking your development experience and using it to your advantage in a role in security or even sales engineering? Having ten years of experience in development means you could slot very nicely into application security roles, and I'm sure there are a number of sales engineer spots where you will code little PoCs and demo's but spend more of your time talking with customers and going out to dinner...even traveling if that is what interests you.

Community colleges could probably do it for cheaper, but they probably wouldn't do it as well. Most colleges are really terrible as teaching relevant material.

My friend learned more about coding from 4 months of FlatIron than I learned going to a prestigious state school for 4 years.
The sad truth is that this is an intense political battle. I would personally favor Elon Musk taking over and shaking things up, any other position is untenable. And, I am saying this as a progressive. I think an open and transparent social platform would be great for the society.

The issue is that managerial class of America, both in private and public sector, are in bed with each other. The government cannot suppress free speech using the frontdoor, but these social media companies (Meta, Twitter) as well as Big Tech machinery (Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon) act as a proxy for supressing political speech through opaque algorithms and straight up censorship.

We, liberals, used to be exceptionally devoted to free speech. Just look up ACLU's cases from the 90's and prior. We were against the establishment. Against the managerial class crushing labor. Against the fucking 3 letter agencies.

Now, my own party wants to turn America into an authoritarian censorship dystopia. It's hard to stand by that.
Your awk pipeline is racy.
DuckDuckGo was never meant to defeat spying by three-letter-agencies.

It's meant to protect us from tracking by advertisers.

I don't think it makes any sense for a three-letter-agency to run it. They can just NSL duckduckgo. They obey the law, as this news item shows clearly.
That's fine. The goals of designing a sanity check prompt to snap people out of autopilot are entirely different from goals you might have in a security system— their being defeatable isn't even a flaw. Jersey barriers vs rumble strips.

If someone deliberately doing the same thing over-and-over can avoid the manual effort, that's fine. Their frustration would likely make them think about it less. You don't, and shouldn't get prompted to do the same thing using the API, either.
The engineering on the spring protected pencils is amazing, I also like the rounded tip, retractable sleeve on the 0.2mm pencils. I hadn’t seen that before this video.

Many years ago I really hoped the Kura Toga would be as revolutionary as the Quicker Clicker was back in the mid-90s, but it always felt like I was fighting the lead orientation. I have eventually settled on the rOtring and draftmatics because I enjoy their aggressive knurling.

I would really like a heavy, aggressively knurled side advance (preferably lower than the Pentel’s). I really miss the transparent barrel that displayed the action of the Quicker Clicker, but like the ergonomics of the fatter, tackier rubber grip.

I found the QC and the Pilot Precise V5, around the same time and nearly 30 years later they are still among my favorites. I mostly use the V5RT these days, but gladly grab a V5 (in blue or green) when I can.

> Such an arrangement would make Elon the beneficial owner of your shares.

Thanks for explaining why that won't work.

Presumably, if Elon has a few rich friends, they could use their own money, vote as a block, and the board would still be screwed.

I wonder what other schemes would work. B corp, maybe?
You're right to be skeptical. They are essentially a client state of Microsoft. Their results come from Bing and they are hosted at Azure. Their privacy policy is just vague enough to not rule out the possibility that Microsoft collects all the stuff that DDG says they don't collect.
It says on their page that they use latest forward patches from grsecurity.

How does the automatic lead extender know by how much to extend the lead? If I were to write lots of dots, the lead would wear off less than when I wrote lots of dashes, but I would touch the paper and lift the pen an equal amount of times. Guess: is it weight controlled?

Longstanding experience is that tone is set at the top (i.e. the President and Dean), consequently the level of teaching is much more dependent on the leadership than on the money.
Unlike your Alzheimer’s example, hair cell loss is definitely the cause of hearing loss in many cases. There are other possible causes but this is the first or second most common biological antecedent.

Basically, if we can regrow them, there’s a good chance of restoring hearing, provided the rest of the auditory system hasn’t atrophied too badly.
That's some serious twisting of words to claim that straight up denying people health insurance is "managing" anything.
Yes, they don't have to maximize profits, but they also can't ignore profit to the benefit of other values they deem more important, per the very old but still in force Dodge v Ford.

As long as they are not egregiously and obviously acting against that goal, or taking decisions without deliberation, the law would favor them in any trial that only hinged on whether the price offered by Musk was better than the market. Basically the burden of proof to show that it could not have been a good business decision would lie with the plaintiff, and I very much doubt that you could build a solid case of that.
ah yes, the well-known leftists of the CIA, FBI, and Army. They were playing the long-game murdering all those leftist governments of Central and South America, I guess.
