At the public funded project http://vvm-projekt.de we are developing methods for verification and validation of autonomous driving. My team developed an analysis method for information flow in urban intersections. The software is implemented in PROLOG (Logtalk). See paper about here (German, will follow in English soon) https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.00252 and infos about implementation https://www.vvm-projekt.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Mid-Term/VV... and https://www.vvm-projekt.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Mid-Term/VV... (English). The project will be finished mid 2023

Direct language also suggest commitment, so clearly you dial that back in higher positions where every word is put on a scale.

It still remains bullshit corporate speak as the language isn't just more polite, it tries to stay non-binding, basically a refusal at communication.

It doesn't say anything about hostility either. A support worker will still smile while having unsavory thoughts about the customer. Hence many people think of it as a dishonest form of communication which it basically is.

If you represent a company in public, you have no real choice not to use it. Rules of amoral businesses.
It really isn't completely different. It does all these things in all people, the difference just being which dose is right for you.

I think this was made up to stop it from getting banned entirely like it is in Asia.

You're right, I did have to find the "what is pre-code Hollywood" myself. The original link was not a good submission
For that specific goal, maybe, no. Sketch really excels when doing vector designs that are going to be presented in a raster displays, so a lot of its features revolves around a pixel grid.

Inkscape does not care about pixel grid, being an SVG vector editor, but it still could use some modern interface tricks, like various stroke/outline options, nudge settings and rulers for measuring distances between objects.
In Germany, employers with more than 15 employees cannot deny the request of an employee to work only part-time without a strong reason (e.g. the company cannot operate without you because you are the only employee with a specific license). That said, it’s difficult to be a remote employee vs. a remote freelancer because of taxes and insurance law.
One disadvantage of people very familiar with distributed systems is that they might not try hard enough to avoid building unnecessarily distributed systems.
As are we all. (Well, except me: reliably wrong.) What matters is, right about the important things.

Nikola Tesla had plenty of seriously wacky notions, but his 3-phase electromagnetics built the world.
Indeterminate loading spinners suck. You're only supposed to use them when you don't know how long something is going to take, for example when you're setting up a socket to a remote server. After that, you're not supposed to use indeterminate spinners anymore.

Skeletons are just another big, flashy indeterminate loading bar. They feel slightly faster because you can get a feel for the content layout, but only as long as the size and behaviour perfectly matches the loaded content. Usually they don't, and the entire screen reflow six times before all the skeletons are loaded in, which take up more precious data to slow down the important parts of your application as well. Most of the time they feel slower because you're actively being tricked as a user by the "almost there" page layout. They're an indeterminate loading spinner in disguise.

If you want to make your code feel faster, show your users that something is happening. Give them actual, real progress bars. Fill up a bar somewhere as content comes streaming in from your myriad of endpoints and unnecessary tracking libraries. Focus on shaving down your load times instead of optimizing the way you show them! Do you really need those four JSON calls to load data that could've been in the HTML the first time?
But you only have to do this if you don't want to run an actual GUI or ncurses UI which does this for you for some reason ? What would you suggest instead ?
Yes, that's populism. But our journalistic enterprises are also flawed, so is governance. So it's hard.
The term you're looking for is "software rejuvenation".

Jokes aside, there is even a body of research papers around this subject, if you need some backing.
YMMV but I recently earned a doctorate in mathematics with a perfect (4.0) GPA in all my degrees and I have only received rejections in the tech world due to 'lack of experience'. In fact I have not been invited to a single interview.

This includes jobs for newcomers that indeed pay just 30k --- and it's worth noting just how low that salary is in these days: 25k of that goes to taxes, rent, and paying off debt.

I'm turning towards finance instead as the entry barrier seems signifcantly lower.

False (well false beyond mobile applications).

The sun shines 24/7 last time i checked. We just need the appropriate infrastructure be that a globally interconnected grid or solar satellites with power beaming. The last case study i saw suggested that an Europe <-> NA interconnect would pay for itself and that was before the Russia thing.
The font is hard to read. It's a nice thoughtful project but seems to not have 'worked' as a functional font. But if I see it used on a blog somewhere now I'll probably remember it and have a chuckle.
I know individual experience varies, but I can’t say I recognise this at all. At university I had a wonderful time and met a lot of people who, while not living close by, are still great friends.

I also moved to London from NZ, and have made great friends here and socialise a lot, so it’s certainly not just a major city effect. I’m not really one to preach, but to me I think your perspective is not one that I recognise at all.
Those people can be useful as shamans if you're lucky.
And don't use custom fonts. Google's pages are much slower because of those.
> looking at their comment history, does anyone else suspect this is a GPT-3 bot

Yes, I've never before on HN thought a commenter was non-human, but most of their comments begin with similar rehashing the topic in a very weird way, like they can't stop writing ad copy. Like they were given the topic and are responding in magazine article or super-commercial-blog style - they don't have the flavour of a person talking a person.

I don't think that should be allowed on HN.

Why they have this bad touchpads is beyond me. Then it would be better to ditch them completely and position the keyboard nearer to the user.

Like tho good Linux support though.
You can put the code and all the resources into a single Go executable, which exposes an HTTP interface. No need even for a zip file.

It can also watch its own executable and restart if it changes, so that you would only need to scp a new executable, just as with PHP. (I would still use entr instead.)
I dislike unlimited/untracked/open (whatever buzzword) PTO. I feel like I have to beg for time off, so I end up taking very little and burning out. Even when I'm sick, I feel like I have to justify why I cannot work. I guess it's better than the places that only give you two weeks vacation/sick leave. I'm having some serious Europe envy right now. They seem to take vacation time seriously.
For people that skip colleges, it’s like skipping a generation. This is especially true when skipping colleges is not the norm in whatever environment you find yourself in.

I started working when I was 16, most of my friends and romantic partners have been older than me.

While this helped me adult faster. The downside is I find it generally hard to hangout with gen Z (lacking opportunities & cultural fit); and older folks often dismiss me because of my age (because of some preconceived notion of how age maps to behavior).
> To me, it seems like ADHD is basically a diagnosis in which one lacks the proper neurological components of being a good little worker-drone in a capitalistic machine.

No, this is dumb. ADHD doesn't affect work exclusively, it affects your entire life equally and prevents you from having fun, starting a family, cleaning your house. Actually, your work is probably the last to go as you spend the most effort on it.

> Who cares about the longterm effects of taking amphetamines everyday.

We know them; they're positive. It's neuroprotective and it reduces the chance of abusing other drugs (like alcohol) quite a lot. At most you want to make sure to get magnesium in your diet to prevent tolerance.
As and end user (as in one who just takes the code and compiles it on his system) I very much prefer autotools. It is much simpler to use.
Erh. What? You should point out that if give the patient 100,000, and the minimal terminal care, the government loses 200,000.

But I have solution. Now that the patient is rich, we can tax him more. In Finnish terminal homes they can take 90% of government-paid pension.

We should be running desal on the salt ponds in San Francisco Bay. The water currently being intentionally lost to evaporation will instead be captured and the salt will be extracted faster. Seems like a win win.
Why are you this afraid to actually address the arguments?

It completely removes the need to handle taxes. Paddle acts as a Merchant-of-Record (kind of like a reseller) so they handle VAT and sales tax in all states for you.

I also don't need to invoice them. I just get my monthly payment in my Wise account (through ACH for 0 fees on the wire transfer) and never worry about the finance part.
Refreshing to see original non-english newspaper articles in HN.

I never read el pais. In fact, would have bet heavily that they could not write original articles about SV and SF in general. And then, certainly not in english.

Its great to be wrong.
Thanks for the write-up. I would like to hear more about your experience in switching jobs so fast. When you started looking for a new position, did you try to maximize pay, or did you feel that you could really stay at each of these companies in the long run?

I am currently thinking of switching jobs, but I don't know if I should be playing a numbers game or genuinely looking for a good fit, or somewhere I could grow internally.
I don’t think people underestimate this at all.

I eye rollingly note that much of what is allegedly about opening horizons and minds ends up being “good old friend bonding” and sentimental alma-mater patter.

I’m not sure most folks ever leave the circles they make in college, much as folks who didn’t go to college tend to not leave high school groups.

I find this tendency to be an inbreeding factor that encourages “big fish in small pond” mentalities and parochialism.

Would that a lonesome study abroad led to bonding with different nations peoples, for the sake of leaving our nationalist naval gazing bubbles for the sake of world peace and international cooperation, but instead we bond with people ostensibly in the same sócio-economic basket.
This reminds me of a time I played with entering data into a terrible system.

A GE MRI scanner had options in the software that could be on, or off. Rather than a check box you typed ‘1’ or ‘0’. This is relatively recently.

I tried for a while to find a field that would accept other values, and eventually found one. When the sequences ran it crashed the scanner and the patient had to be rebooked as the reboot takes a long time.

I don’t test on patients anymore.
> On the other hand, frameworks are like using common tools, foundations, scaffolding, and (literally) frameworks to build a custom architectured house.

This is exactly the problem, you are trying to use a standardised blurprint, to build a custom architectured house. Where you should probably make a choice here, either go standard or custom.

> Of course, building your own home is possible but that could be a shack made up of sticks and mud or a stack of bricks and mortar with no base/foundation which can fall apart at any moment.

Why would a highly skilled builder build a shack of sticks and mud, or a house without foundation? Why do we assume that every software developer is an incompetent clown?
> where people are obligated to show up and mingle with people who are from different backgrounds, and for at least 2 years.

I cant help ... college is when the peer group is the most uniform. They are all the same age and in the same life stage. They all study the same or similar thing, have similar interests. And are all being college educated. You meet trades people there. If you study CS, you will meet very few artists.

I liked college experience, but both high school, employment and sports clubs were more diverse in terms of who I met there.
I probably should have clarified that I was responding to the content of the parent comment rather than the submission itself.

I think this is just the slop of language, but in this case it's obscuring all the important details so excuse me for being a bit pedantic.

Forming and accepting a hypothesis are very different things. You can't just come up with a new hypothesis after looking at some data and then immediately accept it because the data supports it.

It would absolutely be incorrect to look at the original data, form an alternate hypothesis, and then immediately go on to suggest it is an equally good explanation as the original hypothesis.

You don't have to accept the original hypothesis if you think the experiment is flawed, and you're free to propose any hypothesis you want, but that's the limit without new data.
I have seen this. Loved it

Personality disorders aren't physical conditions anymore than the number 2 is a physical object. They're maladaptive learned behaviors.

Yes, that makes sense. A design delivered in e.g. figma format, which allows you to see measurements, colours, etc., would be the preferred outcome.
Since Omicron preventing infection has become almost impossible.

Vaccinations means that for most people this will be like a multi day bad hangover.

And for those who have pre existing conditions, there are medications that can help prevent them from getting seriously ill.

The vaccines are working great and we have great medication. What we need is to get more people vaccinated and make sure every doctor understands when and how to prescribe the medications we have (especially Paxlovid). The fact that so many people are dying while Paxlovid is sitting on the shelves is a tragedy.
Will watch it
I thought the site was The Verge at first... darn quasihomographic domain-names.
That sounds nice! I always liked http://ciechanow.ski for its interactive articles. I'll explore this idea, thanks!
I think that's the case too for 'The Expanse'. It seems it followed the path role game -> books -> tv show.

At the moment of watching the show I didn't realized but, after learning the fact, it was obvious that I had been watching a role campaign.
People who deal with complexities understand that experience is the encounter with the disruptive unexpected. Similarly to the Socratic principle, ancient counterpart of the Dunning-Kruger effect. Trust is heavily "modulated" in the experienced, it's kept at a distance. It's normal.

So, back to the topic, we may have a few ways to build new shields against the new weapons, but this will be not trivial in technical and social matters, and their interactions - having the involved parts adequately understand the new realities: "a document may not be just trusted", "there is no boolean trust value but a 0..1 fraction", "signatures may not be a total warranty"...

To some people, "If you received an e-mail using that sender's name it does not mean he sent it; no, easily his account was not hacked (etc.)" is already a massive blow to their inner world, that makes them throw themselves in the chair finding it unbearable if taken seriously and incomprehensible if considered.

And, some people will find it "less painful" to distrust /you/ than to break the laws in their inner world (it's a phenomenon you may also meet in this very forum) - some minds observe a regimen of strict conservative low expenditure. Complexity involves social dangers.
Unfortunately ML model training is too easy to 'cheat' - ie. To look at the test data to fine-tune the model to overfit a lot, do really well at test time, but actually be useless for real world stuff.

To work out, you'd need a way to keep some test data secret, which in turn kinda kills decentralisation.
It doesn't convert, you sell it to the next rube. The cycle continues.
Is exposition-by-possessions really that powerful though? I would not infer all of the military off-roading stuff from a car, even if it was a camouflage painted Humvee.

I'd argue the creative writer would put this person in a situation where they make choices in a way that reveals their affluence and fondness of terrain driving.

Unless maybe this part of their personality is a shallow veneer and not really who they are at their core, in which case I guess possessions might work because it's also not as critical that the reader understand it.
Gee, I've read 6 or 7 and found all of them extremely inspiring. (I've not read Code or CLRS Algorithms, and only parts of SICP and TAoCP) Well ok, 'inspiring' maybe is not exactly the word for Man-Month, but it is fascinating. Looks like the list of 10 most-recommended programming books, and things don't get on that list for no reason!
Isn't that just because they're expensive and we don't know how to do it well enough?
Using it as a proxy would make more sense if the instructions said to try to choose the most obscure words you know.
Working from Home: My Setup
Because this article isn’t a review of a single paper?

They’ve used a single paper to write a broader article. You can find other papers that justify the other claims that the article makes.

Being a popular article as opposed to an article in a scientific journal means references are not also necessary, although I suspect if you reached out to the author they would provide you with a list of references they used.

Also, the idea that the media used to be better is even more laughable. In fact, popular science media, with all its flaws, is better than its ever been. The reality is popular science is just hard to do.

You don't mention the type of disks you're using with RDS.
Disk scaling/changing operations also consume IOPS to do their work which can get you into trouble if you, say, run out of burstable IOPS but RDS is still partway through a background mirror operation.

If you have RDS Enhanced Monitoring turned on do look at these metrics. They're a bit trickier to use but as they come from an agent on the instance rather than the hypervisor can sometimes help debug.

Like any company sometimes the support agent you get might be having an off day. This is where having an AWS TAM is helpful - you can get them to re-esculate the support issue for a second opinion.
The "we're going to have a decentralized system someday but right now it's totally centralized" line is usually heard from the cryptocurrency community. It's discouraging to hear it from the cryptographic security community.
This is the model that i have always advocated. My personal preference is for C/C++ and now adding Erlang to it. Develop your system architecture using Erlang and its powerful Concurrency/Reliability features and drop down to C/C++ for specific modules.
I've been doing 4 days per week here in New Zealand, but I asked it when being hired. Maybe check some companies with remote work if they'd be keen to hire you for 4 days per week too, maybe write in your cover letter or in an email when applying.
Skeletons make the site look broken
Why wear it at all? I was diagnosed last year and there are 3 people irl who know about it. Not because I'm ashamed or anything, but because I don't identify myself by it. These are my personal struggles and if something goes wrong, it's on me, not whatever illness I might have.

I also think it's irrelevant that in some perfect (historical) society ADD would be perfectly suited, because I don't live in that society. I live in the modern one and I want to be a productive part of it.
Those safety margin and tolerance calculations are based on existing models (what I called "tables"), combined to form a new whole. What I would call composition.

Whether math is being applied doesn't seem like an important distinction to whether something is composition or not. I reason about computational complexity when I build distributed systems, just like civil engineers reason about tolerances. But I'm still assuming a best-of-class sorting algorithm and a reduction of some domain problem into a shortest-path algorithm. The same they do about I-beams and spans.
Yes and not. It's a bit like Apple, nothing is really new or cutting edge, but the packaging is smart and the UI/UX is beautiful. I think same is for multiverse, otherwise Second Life should have won already.
I see tons of these people doing bootcamp because they essentially want tech compensation despite having previously chosen a different career.

I think bootcamps are a suboptimal choice. You are investing months of hard work teaching yourself real world skills which at best will land you a decent junior developer job in some mid of the pack company (maybe 50-60k€ if you pick UK, Switzerland or one of the nordic countries - maybe something short of 100k$ in the US tech area?).

I did exactly that when I was 15 and passioned about creating and it was hard; that also meant that by the time I was out of computer science I had already been working in senior capacity with a senior level salary (roughly 100k€, again, for mid of the pack company - which was roughly equivalent to fang junior total compensation).

Given you are investing months and money is an important factor, I'd recommend you just grind leetcode without learning frontend programming or whatever is popular at the moment. After being good at leetcoding without knowing how to code, you can just go and ace fang interviews and land a much better starting salary.

I know people who did the above and just learned web programming on the job at a fang while they were juniors and being paid to do so.
And the group maybe too socially inept to see that and to comfort you out of the awkwardness :-)
Why is that not a problem on PC? My non-game programmer intuition would've guessed it's not much different.
Yeah, but then that isn’t factual either. The almond doesn’t need the water, the almond tree does (and we divide that by the number of almonds produced). Similarly, we would want to compare how much water a state uses, divided by the people. Both the almond and the person don’t take that much water, but as part of a larger necessary system, they do.
My diagnosis last year was primarily a way for me to figure out how to deal with it. It gave me a framework to think inside, gave me treatment options (medical and therapeutic) and it gave me hope that my future didn't have to be as disastrous as my past. It was invaluable.
My anecdote from my garden is that my smaller cucumbers have way more taste, my smaller red bellpebbers are way more pebbery, potatoes have a richer taste, if this is just freshnes i dont know, but there for sure is a huge difference.
