From experience, this is not dissimilar to the internship-to-hire programs large firms like Qualcomm have used. At anywhere even 10% of that company's size, any individual can easily feel lost in a tidal wave -- triply so if your firm is facing any significant mountain of work prohibiting a good onboarding. Some employers may think this is even advantageous for them, but it can burnout the new hires fast.

The difference with this is the new cohort would have better cohesion from the get-go and might stand a greater chance of dealing with cultural fusion, imposter syndrome, "am I paid appropriately" syndrome, "why shouldn't I advocate a union" syndrome, etc

It feels like now is the golden age to enter employment, at least in technical fields. Starting salaries and total comp are through the roof, so anyone having graduated recently can jump start their earnings in their 20s at a very high level.

Adjusted for inflation, I've hired new graduates at salaries 3x what my starting salary was (again, adjusted for inflation). Back a few decades ago tech was just another professional job, salaries were ok but nothing like the incredible numbers of today.

> told to... ...Download Cerner...

This line is telling. I can assure all readers this is another reddit hoax.

First, one does not simply "Download Cerner". This is software built in essentially visual basic, and requires an incredible amount of tinkering with Windows to run. Oh and it's "rewritten" at least 12 times before abandoned, but somebody sold it to a customer anyway. Most hospitals "run" Cerner software via Citrix because of it's immense sensitivity and finickiness. Simple renaming a folder on your desktop can break the software (if you think I'm joking, I'm not). So yeah, if you actually managed to get the software 'installed' you probably deserve a Turing award. It's not like you can download an MSI and bam, cerner. You're going to be copying files, hex editing, reg-editing, installing/removing hundreds of windows fixpacks, and reformatting frequently when you screw it up.

Next, Cerner software is built in thousands of [ironically named] "solutions", all decided by the LPOW (loudest persons opinion wins) or HIPPO (highest paid persons opinion wins). A bunch of processing might be done on the client, in an obscure dll that a muppet built once and lost the source for, then some sort of passed to the server via some 15 year outdated IBM MQ series code, using a custom marshalling format some dolt invented and thousands of poeple have fiddled with and broke. The point being, even if managed to get the software installed, which would be a fucking miracle in itself, even Cerner employees can't get it to talk properly. More than likely because some clown invented a new IP protocol because he didn't like TCP or something, or OpenVMS explodes when sending UTF8 and your computer won't speak whatever charset it uses without installing a custom driver written in vb.net v1.3.

So yeah, not even in the world of possibility. Arguably most secure hospital system on the planet because it's so crappy, nobody will use it, and no sensitive information ends up in it.
The issue is that your commit still has to do something useful and have the proper colliding hash, which dramatically increases the effective collision complexity for something that is already nearly impossible to occur. Sure you could have some garbage commit with a colliding hash, but all that means is an inconvenience while they remove that commit.

I don't think the problem is that we can't develop a practical implementation, it's that the constant being hidden by the asymptotic notation is inherently huge, making the algorithm impractical given the input sizes we are interested in.

There are a lot of problems where this shows up, notably testing primality (we can do that in poly time but it's O(n^6) or something iirc) and matrix multiplication (Strassen's algo).
I'm pretty sure this is false (unless you have a very odd definition of trivial).
They might be a good team. A team of undergrads built Facebook.

I don't think I had any specific reason for picking OpenSUSE, at least none that I can remember. Their Tumbleweed rolling release seemed interesting to me.

As for the experience, I mostly like it. There is some re-learning to do (zypper not apt!), but the vast majority of things are the same. Since the distro isn't as popular, there are fewer asked-and-answered questions out there, but most Ubuntu answers work with minimal adaptation and the OpenSUSE wiki is pretty good.

Another downside of going non-Debian is that proprietary software may be less well-supported. I think I only have Steam and Spotify, and they have worked well so far.
Yes, because organizing software engineers is like herding cats. A former workplace literally had us form a "guild" with standing meetings, and we still couldn't meaningfully coordinate on a thing.

The problem with this approach are the edge cases. Over a couple hundred years there have been lots of those, now taught about enthusiastically in law school.

Every time there's an unfavorable edge case to (any) employer, then another clause gets added to the "standard contract".

So with reusable contracts (like employee contracts) you end up with very asymmetric goals, and a very asymmetric contract. Yes, push back is important, and it's valuable to the company to hear that push-back.

Speaking as an employer, I would not be prejudiced against an employee questioning or rejecting terms in the contract. Some changes might be deal-breakers, some might not. But clearly we can negotiate and assuming we don't find any mutual deal breakers we'll both be happy.

I would personally also see this as a positive, not negative, interaction with an employee, not something for them to fear.

But of course, being new, they don't know that, and I understand the asymmetry of power in this situation.

I remember hearing about this in a video on drone delivery in Phoenix AZ, which due to weather conditions seems like a great place to fly drones. The big takeaway was drones make great sense in places where no delivery infrastructure by ground exists and the airspace isn't highly restricted, and that they don't make tons of sense elsewhere. Also that autonomous takeoff and landing are hard to get right, and plenty of people in cities rent small apartments and don't have a space like a yard or a large balcony big enough to just have a drone easily, safely automatically land.

I saw another video about a network of automated delivery bots on a very famous and chaotic Minecraft server, 2b2t, run by an opportunistic software developer. Players who want large amounts of valuable in-game items make a small payment of real life currency to this player† and request it to drop them off at a certain set of in-game co-ordinates. The bot player uses a glider to get there and delivers large payloads of valuable items taken from a secret cache. Then the bot self-destructs so that they respawn at the secret cache instead of potentially revealing its location by going back. A very large chunk of the server's player base of players on this server have no home base, and just roam a very chaotic landscape which has mainly just large main highways, which get griefed often. It's only a game, but I think that models to us how relatively wealthy nomads living in very rural area/the wilderness would be a good target market for drone delivery.

I think for automated delivery systems in well-connected/developed areas, we want a system that uses small rails/tubes like what we see in Brave New World.

† This is against Minecraft's terms of service, but they do it anyways.
Normally used to mean an activity in the fresh air, generally with pleasant overtones. So dining "Al fresco" might be a meal on a terrace, or a picnic in a park.

> How many do not die each year because of government?

I'd honestly like to see any kind of attempt to quantify that, I've seen a few for example that gave credit for removing lead from fuel to the government and then tried to by extension say that the positive externalities from that should be attributed to government. Which of course runs afoul of the point that the government was responsible for promoting leaded fuel to begin with, right up to the point of suppressing alternatives. Which in turn begs the question, what will the government actually do generally speaking? And as far as I can tell the answer is work in its own interests and accrue benefits to those on the inside at the expense of those on the outside, and that's all. If hundreds of millions die in the process, that's totally fine.

That almost everybody accepts that entity should have a monopoly on violence and basically unlimited power strikes me as increasingly crazy as every year goes by and it does progressively more insane stuff and we slide closer and closer to the possibility of an extinction level event war.

> Meanwhile bitcoins thirst for coal kills thousands per year and achieves literally nothing.

I'm not interested in defending BTC generally speaking, as I despise it. I should however point out that proof of work has no intrinsic "thirst for coal". Merely the lowest possible cost of energy, right up to the point of subsidising alternative renewable low cost energy projects, which many POW miners have done and why hydroelectric power is such an oft-constituted part of their energy supplies.

> My argument, admittedly heavyhanded, is that organizing this work based on altruism does not work. It may work here and there, for a period of time

For the special case of intellectual creation, which has no marginal cost of reproduction and often benefits from the widest exposure and availability, there are many counterexamples where fully voluntary work has been successful. Even HN itself might fairly be described as one at least partially, since karma points are not a monetary incentive and only the site's moderators and sysops are paid.
Frankly, I also dreamt of a life of not working 40 years ago when I started up ... just there was no tiktok to express my desires). I suspect most people would not work given the possibility. And it doesn't come from work per se, but from hierarchy, compulsion and humiliation that comes with most jobs.
Precisely. It's all "spin", every government does it, China is an expert at it.

Things go well: CCP success story and demonstration of superiority of China (note, not the Party, because "the people and the party are ONE")

Things go poorly: Local government incompetence, foreign interference, reactionary saboteurs "picking fights and quarrels"
The FSF will almost certainly never do that, and even if they did, Linux isn't licensed under "GPLv2 or Later." It's just under GPLv2, probably forever.

Linux could change it if every single copyright holder consented, but that's even less likely than the FSF adding a field of endeavor restriction to the GPL. Google owns partial copyright to Linux. Other copyright holders are gone, and nobody knows who the heir is.

I'm curious about that explanation--in the seats I'm familiar with, initiation (including all the different potential sequencing modes) is done entirely through an explosive train to prevent this exact failure mode (loose Cannon plugs cause plenty of other problems though).

We're talking about different things. In "forward both, aft self" mode a front-seat-initiated ejection still ejects both seats in the normal sequence, while in "solo" mode it would only eject itself. For obvious reasons, you would never fly with a passenger in "solo" mode.

This sounds more like a riddle...

But at the face value, it's hard not to wonder whether you'd like to preserve a functional program, or its source code, or its architectural and design ideas?

Either way, your current perception of the program is likely tied to the current technology or perhaps even whole ecosystem around it.

So to preserve something like that, you'd need more than just storage.

If it's just for the source code, as in text, then as golden rule of backup goes - keep many copies in distributed but known locations. In other words - diversify and distribute. Whatever storage digital, or analog, or organic, as in human memory (storytelling is a type of storage too).

Though, likely, you mean the functional program. Thus you'd need to preserve the platform too, along with build tools. So, at least some system specs need to be preserved or a VM image for more or less stable virtualization envs.

In university studying engineering, it wasn't important that I remembered how to manually calculate all the different types of integrals, I had my calculator to do that (thank goodness for the Ti-89 Titanium), I only needed to make sure I understood what an integral represented and why it was useful to me. A human's most powerful tool is abstraction because the brain is a limited resource. The only thing a slide rule would achieve for me is slowing me down, and wasting precious time and resources on something I already understood. The same reason applies to why I don't program in assembly, it would be a waste of my time for what I was trying to achieve even if it did force me to truly understand everything at a most fundamental level.
In the limit, if there was one day of Wordle left and you looked at what it was going to be and then told me that the optimal strategy of which words to guess is to just guess the solution as the first guess, that's cheating. Your "strategy" becomes a question of how well can you compress the list of solutions into the entropy allowed by how you chose to express your strategy, in this case "four 5-letter words" or somewhere between 20 and 94 bits of entropy[0].

[0] 4*5 assuming that 1 letter is one bit of entropy, which is a rule of thumb when you're compressing gigabytes of text to log2(26^(4*5)) if we just count the combinations of letters
