Autodesk - Senior Technical Consultant (full-stack dev) | Remote (US) | Full-time | www.autodesk.com

Autodesk makes it possible to design the world. We have products likes AutoCAD (the most famous CAD software in the world), Revit (building design), Civil3D (roadway and site design), 3ds Max, Maya, Inventor, Recap...basically, if it needs to be designed, we probably have a software product for it. Overall, a great place to work -- good benefits, interesting work, friendly people. We tend to have a lot of 'boomerang' employees -- people work here, head off to try something new, and then come back a few years later.

I'm on the consulting team, where we design and write custom software to help the largest Architecture, Engineering, and Construction companies in the world use our products.

We build lots of short projects (probably an average length of 3 months, with 2-6 projects at a time). Often this will include talking to stakeholders, designing a solution, writing the code, then helping the customer to deploy the solution in their environment.

We need people with full-stack web development experience, especially .NET and React. If you have experience with the AEC industry, that's a plus.

Compensation is negotiable. The official target base pay is $127,000.
As a GM, PF2e is quite easy and simple. There's great tables for DCs. It's pretty easy to determine what skill to roll. Calculating your roll is super simple. Scaling monsters is easy and simple. Creating encounters of any level is easy.

As a player, I think it has a higher learning curve because of the new action rules and the vast amount of actions one can do, but personally I think it's a good thing :)
Depending on his method, he probably saw the problem immediately when he got to the last layer.

> unsupported by any evidence in the history of states so far recorded

Only if you ignore half the evidence. Runaway authoritarianism is as common a failure mode as states which strait jacket themselves into irrelevance.
This seems to be what he is referring to by the map's subjectivity:

https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/About/WhatistheUSDM.aspx

> Who draws the map?

> Several authors from the NDMC, NOAA and USDA create the map. They take turns, usually two weeks at a time.

> How do they figure out where and how bad drought is?

> This is what makes the U.S. Drought Monitor unique. It is not a statistical model, although numeric inputs are many: [...]
>However, it turned out after the analysis that all these modes offer only a security level of 128-bit.

>A plugin in John the ripper software to allow everyone to "practically brute force military grade AES-1024" will be released at the time of the presentation.

My understanding was that even 128-bit security is safe from brute forcing at the present. Am I missing something?
> The SPI is the number of standard deviations that observed cumulative precipitation deviates from the climatological average

Is "the climatological average" the same as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatological_normal? if so then it's a pretty misleading metic. You can deviate from "normal" in both directions roughly at the same frequency, all the while dragging normal below a "you can survive this" threshold.
Tribe.AI | SEEKING FREELANCERS | REMOTE | Technical PMs

If there are any technical PMs looking for consulting gigs in the ML/AI space, take a look at tribe.ai/join (takes ~5 mins to apply). I've been in the community for more than a year; it's a great experience with interesting projects, internal events (fully remote but they do have a space in NYC you can hang out at). I know there's a huge need for product oriented folks right now - feel free to ping me if you have questions!
We had a recommendation in one of my previous companies to replace all TODO's with XXX. Their rationale was that the TODO tags sounded like an unfinished product to the customers. So they wanted to replace all those TODO labels with XXX so that the customers wouldn't find them when grepping. Even if they find a XXX label while reading the source they wouldn't have any clue as to what it is.
>Scuse me. I'm in that intersection. In my 50s.

Props to you. Keep that up!

>I know you're partly joking, but seriously, nerds should not neglect physical fitness.

I am joking around.

70% of Americans are overweight, 40% obese. That's just the average. Unfortunately 'nerds' are likely to do worse than the average.

>Getting good physical fitness habits young will serve you well. Make exercise, of any type, a habit. Don't think "I'm a nerd and therefore it's OK for me to start courting Type 2 diabetes in my 20s." You'll enjoy your life more if you're healthy.

SPEAK IT BROTHER!
I really don't think the factory was owned by Apple. AFAIK Apple was a customer and they lobbied to have things changed once they knew it, and they also have a clear track record of switching suppliers in case of problems like this dating from before this issue came to light. That's clearly anti-exploitative to me. It's not easy to know these things about your suppliers, these companies work hard to hide it.
That doesn't really matter in this instance, I just wanted some example of what pv was as it's a lesser known utility and that page happened to be the top non-spammy link in DDG.
In the corporate world, just like government funded research, science is only science if it aligns with the desires of its funding source unfortunately.

Or the opposite, which I think is more likely: if it is not seen as inevitable then that will justify not delivering the help they need, ensuring the outcome matches the prediction.

The biggest problem right now is to maintain unity across all of the countries that are on the other side of this line, Russia has a much easier job there than the West, with Hungary and Switzerland as the latest in the pack of useful idiots carrying Putin's water for him. With friends like that you don't need enemies.
What a way to bias the network.

HN is one of the best discussion sites out there now, but I wish that we weren't so formulaic and repetitive. So many things get over-pushed, simply due to the familiarity of popular structures such as "X Considered Harmful" or "Why I Don't X".

If you actually read this blog post, the thread here is taking this way more seriously than the actual author was.

Ask HN: G Suite alternative due to legacy ending?
Gmail is ending its G Suite legacy soon, and I've set up my entire family on there with a custom domain. The cheapest option $6 (USD, presumably) / month / account is not affordable as by now we are already 8 users on our domain (and more might be coming!).

What's your experience with other email providers? I'm looking into something less expensive so I'm undecided between Fastmail and Tutanota (already have the free version).

What are your thoughts? Any experience with these providers with your own domain?
There are lots of problems with the way research is currently funded. But replacing the current system completely, or mostly, with prizes has an issue that I've not seen discussed, and that is the social/organizational aspects of it. In order to fund the work (that might lead to winning), a pool of money will be needed. Where does that pool come from? One way would be tax the winners. If, say, 1 in 20 efforts wins, this tax will need to be quite high. If too high, however, then you've essentially negated the "prize" aspect of it.

Then, within the institution, there will need to be internal competitions as to see which proposal(s) gets the funds to go after a prize.
Sadly I am jaded by my Thinkpad P1 Gen2.

It is ok, but you do not get the yeah this machine feels "solidly awesome" like I got with older Thinkpads 420, 440P or older Dell's Precision lineup.

The real show stopper was that Lenovo used some no name Chinese made M2 SSD as the primary, leaving more respectable WD in a secondary slot.

The no name SSD failed without warning in a year.

So check your SSD makers.
The problem with Fritzing is that it is so much "dumbed down" that it is mostly useless. It doesn't even enforce basic design constraints such as having the PCB traces horizontal/vertical/45deg angle or clearances.

And good luck with creating your own components!
I’m similar age to you, but I keep up with the dozen or so close friends I made during highschool and college. We make time, several times a year, to get together. What’s more I’ve found it hard to develop comparable friendships later in life —- not enough time, hard to prioritize, whatever.

So maybe just a different person than you wrote this.

Maybe a silly question but how does this compare to Recoil?
I'm currently working on a customer satisfaction survey that is sent out after a service has been performed. It is claimed on the survey page that the responses will be anonymous unless the customer checks a box requesting to be contacted. I've had to fight a couple battles about what data will be kept if that box is not checked, because of things like this. No, we cannot log when the email was sent out because that is tied to an event that is logged elsewhere. No, we cannot log what products were involved in the service, because of the same reason. And so on. I told my customer that I'm either making it completely anonymous, or the language on the page has to change. Thankfully I won that battle, and the anonymous responses will be truly anonymous.
> Bigger sites might handle that number of requests every second.

I can think of maybe 10 sites that get anywhere near that amount of traffic and they have millions and millions of dollars of infrastructure behind them. 34 million requests per second is an absurd amount! Nobody even knew how to handle that level of traffic 10 years ago.
Agreed. Finding product/market fit is the only thing that matters in a new company.

If you think that's the "boring stuff", then you're not going to love the amount of iteration/thrash/constraints that it will introduce to your engineering life.
Curious as well, since whatever you do not like about Apple Pay, it actually works very well (not a single issue I had).
I pepper my code with FIXMEs while it's under development and I'm working on just getting the happy paths to run. Then I go back and fill in error handling and special corner cases that I skipped. That isn't a scenario where you can use issues.
Learn both.

If you learn C++ first, and then learn Rust, you'll find that Rust is sort of a pleasant syntactic cleanup over modern C++ idioms. You'll be happy with the high-quality standard library, mechanically-enforced best practices around nullptr/const, and a core language team that is actively engaged with driving forward progress.

If you learn Rust first, and then learn C++, you'll be amazed by the wealth of libraries that are available. There are still entire ecosystems (looking at gRPC and Protobuf here...) that are C/C++ first, with bindings to other languages, and basically no first-party support for Rust. There's a lot of benefit to being able to reuse existing work.

And once you've learned both, and gotten a handle on the FFI syntax, it becomes natural to write greenfield code in Rust while being able to "drop down" into C/C++ when necessary.

The number one rule here is you must focus on modern C++, not old-school stuff with void* pointers and reinterpret_cast<> everywhere. It's easy to learn low-level programming the wrong way, which will cause your C++ code to be low-quality and frustrate your learning of Rust because you'll constantly be colliding with the guardrails.
I think todos and tickets have separate use cases. I use todos as short term work trackers. I put them in as I'm writing new code, then usually complete them before I check in, certainly before I merge my branch. Sometimes they slip past me and get into the main repo, but that's a better outcome than just forgetting about it entirely and I don't have to pay the cost of writing up and managing tickets for every loose end. I open tickets for things which will need to be done as a separate work item at a later time. I don't tend to put in a todo with the ticket number because usually something on that scale often doesn't have a specific place where it belongs.
Russian mil. steal Ukrainian John Deere vehicles, find they're remotely disabled
You know I actually talked to someone talking about cell phone radiation?

But like hardcore. I actually listened. Super consistent and scientific about it, was getting radar-blocking paint designed for stealth fighters delivered to her in her beautiful house so she could paint the outside of her house with it. That's hardcore. All the science checked out, except for the conclusions of medical cancer trials, which proved her wrong.

My conclusion is their suffering was real, but it wouldn't happen to me. Mostly because many of my ancestors worked with electricity, signals, et cetera. So it stood to reason it wouldn't affect me. I still think it won't.

But the frequencies keep getting higher. Now 5G is like 6GHz...and you know something nobody actually liked the cell phone tower near my house growing up, it was considered a necessary evil, like a dumpster. Nobody truly bought into the media science about it being wholesome and harmless, you never wanted to get close to it at a visceral level. Everybody had that dread of it, they just didn't talk about it.

Microwave starts at 1GHz, and microwave ovens which we all know are dangerous (don't argue, it's too prevalent in the culture that they're dangerous, the South Park time they all left the microwave door open deliberately just in order to get cancer) interfere with 2.4GHz wifi (same frequency). (I turned wifi off and did what this person said to do to connect to the internet, ethernet, as I wrote this). So wifi is the same kind of radiation as a microwave, just less of it. But a mutation can be caused by a single photon in the right place at the right time. Like protein folding, that is so so so sensitive we have no idea how sensitive that is.

And now they want to do 5G so we can all stream our personal Netflixes on our phones all the time? More bandwidth requires higher frequency, 5G is I think 6GHz. More energy for more signal too if you want 4K video, more photons at higher energies. There's tons of opposition.

I didn't recall that person that well, didn't really believe her or care about her.

You know you totally pulled a 180 on my attitude on cell phones with your scorn.

EDIT: what forums are you talking about that talk about this stuff about the cell phones? You have a link to the paranoid conspiracy theory blog? Just so I can see for myself how stupid that woman was, so I can laugh with you.
> so why didn't you return it?

Mostly because I had more important things to do at the time. Though not perfect, the computer does work, it does get the job done.

And also, I wouldn't know which other brand/model to get. I made my decision to buy the X1E based on the HN community recommending Lenovo as having one of the best support for Linux. So if I switch to a different brand, I might end up with an even worse Linux experience, so it wasn't worth the risk to me.
Sorry i missed your second question. Plenty of characters are still alive. Characters retire into NPC formats, generally once they are lords and such. There is only so many apocalypses you can have to challenge high level characters. They can come on "screen" in other campaigns. They generally have their own faction that they operate off camera.
New characters sometimes opt to be sons of earlier characters of their own, or of other players characters. It works quite well.

I have had to add a magical plant, which when processed, slows the aging process. I felt a bit harsh killing retired characters, so the rich and powerful tend to not age too much. Some players are fine with their characters to die off, but thats there choice.

Lastly we sometimes dust off old characters to deal with major problems or just for mainly RP type sessions.
Why do you think you have the right to just settle in other people's countries and ignore their laws (on taxes and other things)?
Maybe “No, but we do count fertilized eggs which fail to bum plant in the walls or whatever”?
I would sell moneylaundering.com from 50k.
Agreed. The really big question to me is this: Ukraine is steadily building up momentum and capabilities, if they turn this war around, and there is a fair chance of that happening Russia will be pushed back, possibly out of the east of Ukraine and maybe even out of Crimea. That would cause some real trouble and might trigger Russia to make desperate moves.

What about starting with a public library?

120 year email + static hosting tied to library card.

Start with one branch or small system, scale from there.

Could reasonably be managed per branch with central support orgs. I guess most of them have a server room or colo or similar with a couple U free.
You're wrong for the case of the Netherlands and Belgium.
I was going to ask: Is the behavior defined by ANSI SQL? Because if it is not, it's worthless; so this is great news!

The only constant in computing is any feature of a language or database that doesn't have a formal definition is guaranteed to break later.
It's just bad economics bad incentives. The costs vastly exceed the payoff from the prize.

Yeah you can’t go looking (similar to dating logic), and conventions (conferences) are last in that list for a reason. Its not an equally weighted list.

Summits (as a concept but not all implementations) in my experience has a higher signal rate, as the attendees are all participants too, and pretty much requires being entrenched in a somewhat tight knit professional group already.
> Between Israel and a country like Spain the US will always, always choose Israel

This is no longer a safe assumption. Trans-Atlantic coöperation is at a high. This satisfies deep American geostrategic aims, ones far deeper than those around Israel.
Unlike factory output, agricultural output is highly variable.

If you produce only just enough in good years, then people die in bad years. If you produce double demand in good years then bad years are fine.

The fact that we can usually afford to waste lots of food is a really really good thing.

Nim has some of this. But of course, it is not C.
While we're sharing our favourite open source EDA tools, HorizonEDA deserves a lot more love and attention.
I was surprised too, I'm used to see different poster who was creating these threads.
Counterpoint: Zig is unstable (as in, <1.0 release) and the docs are still pretty lacking. You’ll find yourself reading source code if you want to do anything nontrivial pretty much.

Stick to C++ or Rust, which I won’t weigh in on here. But both are much more mature.
This is not very substantial work. They used the API, gave it more challenging questions on 14 prompts, and judged whether it met expectations. I would have expected something much more intelligent from Aaronson, although this kind of light-weight analysis is par for the course with Marcus, who has been fighting his rearguard action against large parametric models for many years, and is not above motivated reasoning. It's like one of those open letters that people get roped into, only hosted on arXiv.
I haven't seen it mentioned here, but Bassoon Tracker is a web-based tracker that can play most old MOD, XM, etc files:

Yes, I don't think we should upvote this as I'm quite positive this is OP simply attempting to increase their karma.
I don’t think anyone is saying “they took our jobs”. I think it’s not so black and white.

1. There’s a race to the bottom to show infinite growth. This is the way of American capital markets. And this leads to cost cutting, bringing down wages and perverse incentives.

2. H1B and other programs that were intended for people with exceptional skills are handed out in mass to immigrants - particularly Indians - and we can be okay with that.

But the reality is, there are often times no exceptional skills here. The test taking and interviewing has been designed to cater to Indian nationals. They’re great test takers, which doesn’t necessarily translate into productivity or being a top worker or producer of value.

This is a corporation importing foreign workers as a cost cutting measure. An engineer from India will be happy earning 75% of the wage since they also get to move their family to the US, with healthcare and all the benefits.

The tragedy is that existing top talent doesn’t necessarily want to work at a company like Amazon. And so Amazon will import Indian nationals, because they’re willing to put in longer hours. They have little choice. They’re risk averse, and the last thing they want is to get managed out and have to return to India.

Amazon does this at scale. It reflects in the quality of their products and services.
How do they re-attach the bus to the power lines? Is it reasonably automatic, or does the driver have to fuss with it?
