No, I don't think you should be faulted for trying to understand terminology. And I think its great you are reading HN and interested in staying up on technology in general and talking her through decisions.

But let me break this down a bit more concretely. The question you actually asked is pretty much impossible to answer. As I said, there are numerous subfields in technology. For you to "better educate yourself in her chosen field" you would need to actually know what she was studying. Her field could turn out to be databases, or AI, or geographic information systems, or one of literally hundreds of different technology-related careers. So for you to really be able to advise her in these areas.. I think the only way to do that would be something like this:

* (assuming she goes for CS) wait 2 years for her to finish her general education requirements and start digging into the computer science

* find out exactly what classes she is taking

* get the textbooks for those classes

Now, how do you think she would feel if she found out you had bought the exact textbook she used for her class?

Suppose that you _were_ an expert in all matter of technology. The main point would be the same. She needs to make her own decisions about what field to go into. And she doesn't need her parent to make suggestions or tell her what is trending.

But overall I am not trying to fault you. I am trying to help you. I believe your are looking to maintain a relationship with your daughter. Or at the very least, help her make decisions. You cannot help her if you are not able to maintain boundaries and are creeping her out. As I said, that will push her away, and make it more difficult for you to give her advice. I believe that you are already overstepping your boundaries.

If she is graduating next year, then the time to start making decisions for herself has long past. If she is not good a making decisions or researching, focus on those general skills. But for you to be so involved into her decisions or so keen to be an expert in her field (which again, has not yet been chosen) is interfering with her development and as I said, _will_ push her away.

EDIT: thinking about this more, I actually think your question would make sense if she was like 7-9 years old and you had some years to help dig into software development or whatever with her. But if we are talking about late teens, there is no way you are going to be able to help her the way you think in a short time, and as I said, she is past the point in her development where that approach is appropriate.
Hmm, I should go pick up a Kindle…does anyone know how the device compatibility list works? I don't see the newer models in it?
You need to think about the environmental cost but also the benefits for the society. Sport events are worth conducting IMHO.
Is it just me or others also think this is a lot of work for data analysis. For data of this size, BigQuery is not only fast but also very cheap.
How do you perform graph reporting and forecasting?
I used to do this but I realized how difficult it is to organize your books this way. Calibre → Kindle was a much better workflow in my experience.
Sorry! The direct link to the article has a URL fragment, and I believe that got stripped out of my submission somehow, maybe an admin can update if they see this :(

I suspect the same. Dating later in life, I think people realise that there are more important traits to seek in a partner. Got a friend who's under-employed, overweight, grey and around 50, and he gets dates because he's charismatic.

I wonder does jailbreaking have any implication on battery life? I'd hate to jailbreak my kindle for a very much reduced battery life

I’m definitely guilty of this one, and have been working on improving it due to feedback from a teammate. In my case it was very much appreciated :)
Ask HN: What were software engineering job interviews like decades ago?
Can you share the arm you use to hold the kindle? I’ve been on a quest for year to find one for my Kobo (which is much easier to “jailbreak” in the sense that you don’t need to because it’s not in jail, and the text layout engine is so much better compared to the kindle… very few rivers)
Fat women in mediaeval times would be possibly thinner than an average Western woman now? Have you seen the fattest guy in the World from ~1900s picture he's large but he'd probably fit in an airline seat?

It's really hard to consider these things as "fatter" probably meant larger dowry (!), better survivability, healthier and by extension better for child-rearing. Whilst fatter in Western society now (anorexia, etc., aside) is almost certainly healthier, fitter for child-rearing and such.

Populations were lower and people moved around less, there was far less choice for mates.

But then choosing, rather than falling in love seems strange from where I am.
I'm guessing they meant lifetime earnings. There's a limited number of years you can play competitively in the NFL/NBA, and not all of them successfully transition to the sports desk or small business owner.

I don't think most folks are against that.
to clarify, because that is what I was last measured at, don't know if I shrank, and anyway don't want conversations, oh people shrink with age about 1 inch so I am probably 6'3 seems too much for someone who asks what height you are which is just filler conversation.
> Do you really need full double-entry accounting for personal finances?

Probably not, which is why I'm not actually using it right now. My main use cases are keeping track of various types of assets and liabilities (bank accounts, stocks, apartment deposit, etc) to track my net worth as well as having a general idea of where my money goes, e.g how much I spend on groceries as opposed to eating out.

The statistical sampling approach sounds very interesting, thanks for the tip!
True, but the "blue cube over the red cube" limitation is caused by a deliberate choice to maximise other abilities of the model at the expense of exact word for word attribute memory. The reason is that CLIP is encoding the text to a simple fixed length vector, the more text you put in the more gets ignored.

I also built a balanced arm for my (non-kindle) reader and wanted a remote page turner. I built one that uses a button and a reed relay to ground a piece of aluminum foil to the readers USB ground to stimulate a finger touch. It works but it's not very pretty. Forgot where I got the idea.

No, the type for `get` would only have a single layer of `Option`. But V is a type parameter, so you can instantiate it with another layer of Option. You don't need to (and shouldn't) modify the type signature of the `get` method. It's already generic.
> nowadays

Any argument that uses this qualification should be accompanied with data.

You haven't specified anything, not even a rough time frame. Your statement is so vague nearly anything can be projected onto it.

Also a sidenote: if you're going to make an argument about language and definitions it seems like a good idea to actually know what PTSD is before using it as an example.
> Why on earth would Valve take the risk?

yes, exactly. Esp. if he is the only one talking about it this way publicly. If it's truly awful, employees will vote with their wallets and quit.

And if valve wins the law suit, what reward would they have gained, other than stopping him from saying what he has already said (which cannot be taken back). There might be punitive damages to be paid, but it's not like the corporation is going to make money from doing so.

And in fact, making a law suit would legitimize the claims!

In fairness, "not electron" and "only one OS yet" are probably somewhat connected.
I haven't tried this particular jailbreak procedure but when I did it 3 years ago, blocking the OTA updates was a part of the process.
Wouldn't this cross the line of legally requiring certain software to be installed and running on your computer? Like, I couldn't host a forum on my own hardware without having to install certain software required by the government. As far as I know this isn't currently the case. The idea that I can't have my own computer running my own software (I could write my own message board software) without government mandated software also running is the most disturbing part.
20 liter want tank. When the mains burst in midwinter, all pipes and sewers freeze too. Most horrible situation. Mounds of frozen shit and people queuing for hours for government water.

And the water must be purified (with 10 drops of chlorine). You can test the water condition yourself, if the inside of the tank feel slimy, there is something growing.
Yeah YNAB is pretty much full steam ahead with the ZBB mindset. I've tried to use it without doing the ZBB part and it really is not set up for that.
Coincidentally Sharp also makes 32” reflective 1080p LCDs.

> Wouldn’t that last example be incorrect mathematically? For example, if the Int8 was -10 and the UInt16 was 10, what would that casting do?

Well....

Signed integer arithmetic and unsigned integer arithmetic do not differ. At all.

The difference between an Int16 and a UInt16 is not in the 16 defined bits. It's in the infinite number of implicit bits representing place values above 2^15. Those bits are always 0 for the UInt16, but they're identical with the high bit of the Int16.

So it's not clear what it would mean for the result type to be "incorrect mathematically". Mathematically, an Int16 and a UInt16 are the same thing.

However, the path by which you promote the values does matter. I don't know what Julia does. But:

-10 (Int8) + 10 (UInt16)
-10 (Int16) + 10 (UInt16)
65526 (UInt16) + 10 (UInt16)
0 (UInt16)

is a different result from

-10 (Int8) + 10 (UInt16)
246 (UInt8) + 10 (UInt16)
246 (UInt16) + 10 (UInt16)
256 (UInt16)

One of those should be the result Julia gives. I tend to hope it's the first one. That would correspond to a promotion strategy of "always expand the type to its full width before converting between signed and unsigned". Expansion (and shift, I guess) is the only operation for which the difference between signed and unsigned is relevant.

> Would a better promotion be Int32 for both?

Probably not; that would imply that when you add two UInt16s together, you expect to get a UInt32 (or UInt17...) back.
Wow, using it feels like I'm living in the 21st century. Can't wait for TUI to reach renaissance.

> I then asked my teacher what I should write if I meant to convey that something was probably true, but that I actually wasn't certain or all that confident about it.

Not for school papers, but how about: "I guess [something]."
With your email argument what you're really saying is that DNS is hosted but portable. Which is true, but it's also inconvenient.
Transparent LCD display used to be commonly available for use with overhead projectors. Back in the 80s and 90s, "every" classroom had these projectors to put transparencies on, or just to write on with a dry erase pen. So, put together a transparent LCD screen to go on top and boom, LCD projector for your computer. Of course, integrating the bulb, the LCD, and the optics happened shortly after (with much smaller LCDs) with nicer output, but less flexibility.

Autocomplete usually drives me crazy in IDEs - often it covers up nearby code that’s relevant to what I’m currently typing, so I end up hitting ESC all the time just to get it to go away. I guess you don’t have that problem here if the popup is always below your cursor, since there’s never really anything below your cursor in a terminal when you’re entering commands.

But also autocomplete often suggests the wrong thing but I’m typing too quickly to notice, and then I hit enter and get the wrong thing filled in.

What I want is just non-automatic completion - which we already have. Ctrl+R gives me exactly what I need when trying to find some odd command I ran last week. Add in fzf integration and it’s perfect. Tab completion covers everything else. When I don’t want completion, it stays out of the way. In an IDE, you can usually bind completion suggestions to Ctrl+Space or something and then turn off automatic suggestions, or something like that.

Maybe you can set up this tool that way too - then it might be nice to try out. But as I mentioned generally I find the terminal to be pretty ergonomic already for completion stuff.
> their overperformance scares the boss

i just don't understand this at all - why would someone who is working for you be a threat? They cannot take your job - it's not like them being a good programmer would somehow make them a good dev manager or "boss".
> Ohto Horizon

Yeah, a great pen, sadly AFAIK out-of-production - and the successor (GS01) doesn't have the side release button, which was really nice to fidget with :(

What I don't get is how people didn't notice during the group rides. I've ridden a few times with former athletes, and there was no mistaking the difference between an amateur like me and a former pro..
Ah I gotcha. I'm building a product[0] for non-jailbroken Kindles and would love to solve new problems.

In your case, if I can backup your highlights (and notes) to somewhere else, does that solve your problem? You can choose your storage service (dropbox, notion, s3 etc.)

> which is basically checked exceptions ~without error handling as arbitrary control flow.

With the `?` operator, Rust behaves identically to a language with checked exceptions as it also has "arbitrary control flow" in that the code may "jump" elsewhere on errors. The implementation may be different, but the abstraction is identical.
You have to wonder when average-sized men start to have this procedure done to further bolster their sexual competitiveness.
I think Rust gets much easier when you understand it's the most or close to the most opinionated language ever made. If something is hard or feels really awkward to express it means you're "doing it wrong". A lot of classic solutions to problems that you've learned over your career are hard or impossible for Rust to validate. When you run into these hurdles you're supposed to switch to different style/solution rather then trying to fit a round peg in a square hole.

It seems to me that emojis are pretty much required in many professional environments nowadays. E.g., if you don't tack an emoji reaction onto enough Slack messages you won't be seen as an enthusiastic participant, which could have negative consequences.
The point is that it’s not a compliment to call something the “chess.com”.
No need to concede anything, it's just a fact. Oil is used for more than just energy, and those products won't be replaced in our lifetimes. You could try to bet on battery advancements beyond Lithium Ion, but we're a ways away from that too for your claims.

The lazy conclusion that you can just throw money at a problem and make it go away is just that. Those people need to be retrained and will need support as they are retrained, 100k isn't going to touch that. I wasn't speaking for anyone, just a long standing belief I've had about most blue collar jobs that people want to elimate. I said the same thing when Hillary Clinton said something equally as callous to coal miners.
The problem with color emoji is that they aren't affected by CSS color value. If you want to turn black to gray in an emoji, you have to use CSS opacity. Then you will trigger a different algorithm to render text containing emoji in all browser engines.
Otherwise it would have been called "prust" right?
From https://fig.io/privacy:

> Inevitably, there will be users who, for whatever reason, don't want their usage of Fig to be personally tracked. Of course. It's your data and software on your device. You shouldn't even need a reason. We want to cater to these users. And we will. But unfortunately, we are so early on in the process of building Fig that we need to be able to speak to our users. De-anonymising telemetry for the time being while minimisng the events tracked enables us to do this in a non intrusive way. But it is of course not for everyone. Therefore, once we reach a critical mass of usage in the coming months, we will then anonymise all telemetry, making Fig more accessible.

It has been several months since this was written. Are they still collecting de-anonymized user data?

Thank you for teaching me something new! I used to get these more frequently but just had one last week for the first time in ages. Mine look quite a bit like [0] and I never knew what they were or that they had a name.

Mine used to happen a bit when playing sport so I always associated them with dehydration, but it seems like that’s probably not it.

Those melted hand-taped traces are wonderful. It's high technology, from a more civilized age. It's too bad that the best software for making those organic PCB layouts, TopoR, is super obscure (and I'm worried being basically defunct)
Ask HN: Should I join LinkedIn or Facebook?
I have two offers bot similar level, Meta TC is 40k higher.

I am looking at many factors but I want to be happy in the end.

Looking for advice specifically from people who have been at both, but if not any good pointers is also good.

I realize it really depends on the team.

My first priority is WLB. Obviously Linkedin wins, but based on team Meta could be close as well.

My goals are : Get a promotion in 1 year, have TC at 400k, have great WLB, have free time to work on projects, and not hate everyday at work.

I am writing a book and I feel background at FB gives more credibility?.. ie. How to pass technical interviews by Facebook Engineer.

Also my future goal is to become a CTO or VP of ENG at medium sized startup, where I also assume FB background would be more attractive.

But I really love LInkedin culture from what I have seen and heard, so many days off..

Ideally I wish I could go to fb, get promoted after a year and come back to linkedin.
Not exactly what you’re asking for, but I’ve used https://p2k.co for many years and it’s great.
> But when I looked at the numbers, I was doing fine at getting dates. The problem was actually that I wasn't confident enough on dates and didn't really know what I wanted, so the dates rarely went anywhere.

Unless you run some automation on it, it shouldn't affect the battery life. The difference was negligible for me

Conservative women are more likely to value traditional family structures and gender roles, and thus place a higher priority on getting married and having kids. Even controlling for age, etc., conservatives are 25% more likely to be married than liberals.
I think that’s a false trade off, you can empathise with both employees and customers at the same time. And while sure maybe a lot of the Atlassians might have fixed the issue “without complaint” as you said, it can still be a nightly stressful situation (probably even leading to burnout) and I hope they are looked after even if they don’t speak up.

We use Rust for regular boring old backend servers at work. Not for speed or efficiency either. Rust doesn't need to be just a hot mess of memory manipulation (and you're never going to learn it like that)

If you want to learn it, don't do the weird stuff first, it'll just be confusing

That's quite generous in the current climate. I think this is a very transparent and self-serving publicity stunt and a signal to their in-group.

It's getting out in front of any accusations which may paint this past in a less flattering light. It's catering to exactly the kind of hyper-liberal social views and politics likely shared by their most generous donors, current and future staff and students, academia, and the US government. All of this in service to the growing gospel of diversity is very fashionable at the moment.
