I monitor threads like this one every time they get to the front page, which is once a month or so. Whenever someone says "I am a hiring manager and we 100% hire self-taught and inexperienced candidates," I try to reach out to them.

And almost every time I get a response, it turns out that the poster is located in a depressed market outside the US (like southern Europe or the Canadian prairies), and also not actively hiring.

I look forward to the Carl Sagan fan winning this trial on that basis.
Right, but I didn't start seeing Mac laptops show up at work (software companies in the Midwest and Eastern U.S.) until 2014 when the MBP became a serious contender to Dells and HPs.

I had a Toshiba laptop in '95 for work, but it was a spare for when I was traveling. That pattern continued with Windows laptops as supplements for desktops in the office for the next 20 years. In 2015 my company went all MacBook Pro for everything, but they were trailing not trailblazing.

Students are always going be the leading edge, because they have to be mobile, they get used to it, then they bring it into the new workplace when they come. It's one of the benefits of hiring in new people.

> What is pre-Code Hollywood? The quickest definition is this: “pre-Code” refers to an era in motion pictures from the arrival of sound (aka ‘talkies’) in 1927 to the mandatory enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code in July 1934. This era is notable for while being censored, it is not as severely censored as the films that follow that July 1934 date.

My observation was intended primarily as a pedagogic critique. The C solutions to these problems don't require any cleverness and are transliterations of the Python equivalents.

But there's a difference between "I have learned how to use applied mathematics to design a specific physical deliverable while ensuring safety margins and tolerances" and "I am contributing to the state of the art in the general theorems used by my entire industry." Some civil, chemical, mechanical etc. engineers do both! But most engineers spend most of their time on the former.

And what is software engineering but exactly that dynamic? Relational algebra and distributed systems design are most certainly based on applied mathematics, and one uses tooling built around the underlying theorems to ensure that parts mesh together in a reliable way that scales under load. Some engineers take their learnings from specific projects and write papers, and that's amazing, but that doesn't mean that if you don't have an Arxiv account you're not an engineer.

We're not just fire-and-forget script writers; we're engineers and we draw on decades of an industry's worth of deep knowledge to ensure our systems are rock-solid. I hope everyone who considers themselves "just a software developer" finds a team that appreciates this.

Descent for me was the pinnacle of the lineage from Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. 6dof is so otherworldly in a space setting. Great with a Thrustmaster HOTAS setup.

Yes, I was diagnosed by two professionals independently of each others because I was so unsure of the first diagnosis.

Comments like these are hurtful. I ask myself the question the commenter asked me every single day. I just try to approach them with care and the assumption they are coming from a good place. I know that isn't always the case, but it's the best I can do.

Also, it's wild that I already have a strategy and thoughts about dealing with comments like these. It's only been a few weeks, but it's already happened a handful of times.

Musk and Andreessen's recent comments on the matter angered me. And though I don't think Andreessenn's were necessarily out of the same place of hate's as Elon's were, they were still framed in a damaging way.

If the answer is "nothing bad, yet, but maybe something bad when we ship FSD" then Tesla's approach here seems reasonable (modulo not informing customers, which will probably catch them a fine in at least some of these jurisdictions, but in my book is more like a "mild breach of commercial contract" issue than a "fundamental consumer rights" issue).

If the answer is "something bad" then this is a big deal and could be bad news for Tesla.

If you know in advance that you're not going to need a more powerful, more complicated/expensive/... tool, then it's okay and even recommended to use the "lesser" tool. If I need to screw in a few screws, am I better off buying a small screwdriver or a professional 18V screwdriver/drill combo with 24 add-ons? Who knows, it depends on my projects and my skills, but it's entirely possible that buying the $5 screwdriver is the appropriate thing to do.

I can see how it maps to complexity, but not creativity. Perhaps, I am not creative enough to think of a way to piece the two concepts together.

I would like to see how this test would map to languages with more/less distinct nouns than English. Are native speakers of said languages less creative? I doubt it.
If you're actually using Windows (you mention MS paint), there's built-in functionality to doodle on screenshots. It's built on the same tech as e.g. onenote so it's surprisingly good. Just press win+shift+s. For an existing photo/screenshot, just open it with the default image viewer and click modify.

And the "pro-tip", if I may: when you take a screenshot, it gets copied in your clipboard. Try pasting it somewhere. It works in an astouding number of places.
The best software developer I’ve ever worked with was a graduate from an architecture program. A close second was a guy who was a middle school teacher before turning to software. I’ve also worked with some really excellent CS people.

A lot of software development, even at very high levels, has very little too do with what they teach in Comp Sci.

I still look for developers from computer science programs mostly because that’s an easy place to find people who really love creating software and systems.
Oh, I agree. I'm not saying nobody else would have invented them, but I think you'd have to put some expensive work into inventing even a wheel, not just causally imagine it whenever the need came up like we would do today. A lot of technology is really ingenious but it would surely have been invented by somebody the moment it became economically valuable to do so.
Random sources probably have a higher dispartiy than our own thoughts, which are probably coherent in some way.

I think you mean "arbitration".

Why do you think the UDRP has any bearing on what Jump can do in court? ICANN can't make up rules that apply to third parties; there's such a thing as privity of contract! The UDRP may be incorporated into the contract that Merryman agreed to with his registrar, but Jump isn't a signatory to that agreement.
Hmm. That's not how I recall it. The folks in Israel working on Sandybridge (Gesher), already had their AVX plans in place before LRBni was "finalized" (even by the time of "our" siggraph paper -- I was only tangentially involved, not listed -- new instructions were being added all the time).

So it's more like both groups knew what the other was doing, but LRBni was free to focus primarily on graphics and a clean slate, while the AVX folks shot for "SSE but wider, and a few more".

AVX-512 is sort of a franken-combo of what AVX3 would have been, plus many of the LRBni instructions that shipped in the poorly named MIC parts, plus some more (e.g., now including a VNNI dialect, bf16 ops, etc.).

Here's why I'm confused: in that case why not just remove both chips?

Having no backup for a component involved in the steering system seems like a bad idea for any level of ADAS, including L1, and possibly even fully manual depending on how the steering system works. At least without a very thorough analysis of system behavior in various failure modes, which... is that possible in 3 weeks?

But then, Boeing convinced the FAA that backups weren't necessary for the 787-MAX sensors because a component that was modifying the flight characteristics could be over-ridden by a human and therefore wasn't safety-critical... so, WCGW, really?
That's really well done because those are common enough words.

It’s funny how commercial companies in competitive markets doesn’t understand that the job market is a competitive market too. So they need to compete against other companies to get workers. Instead they throw up their hands, making claims about people being lazy or whatever nonsense. Or they demand that the government does whatever it can to make life as miserable as possible for potential workers so that they have no choice but to accept whatever slave conditions the companies offer. That’s why companies in the US fight universal healthcare tooth and nail. Because universal healthcare will make workers less dependent on the mercy of companies.
> Moving from C++ to Rust for a computer programmer with many years of experience in C++ must be a frustrating and humbling experience

My experience was the exact opposite.

To write correct and safe C++ code you need to be tracking things like lifetimes and ownerships anyway (even in modern C++). Rust allows you offload all of that cognitive overhead to the compiler, which greatly simplifies things.

There was a short period of time needed to get used to the borrow checker, but coming from C++ I understood why it was complaining about these things so the errors didn't come across as opaque or confusing.

It's really more about the size of the company -- those companies have enough engineers to have large teams dedicated to their various frameworks and build systems.

Some of the popular open source frameworks are derivatives of what these companies had already developed internally for themselves, e.g. React.
This has nothing to do with the fact that wormhole is "a cool sci-fi word" that's "easy to spell, easy to remember, and easy to build a new brand around."

I thought that the HN crowd, on average, strongly believed that CS programs filled students' heads with theoretical garbage, and that most students just parroted back the textbook to get through assignments and rode each other's coattails to get through group projects.

Apple has pulled off several big hardware transitions: 68k -> PPC -> x86/x64 -> ARM. One reason those transitions are considered successful is that they did a masterful job of managing expectations. Apple showed that the consumer hardware market really doesn't care enough about backward compatibility to affect the bottom line. And thanks to Moore's law, supposing you can legally acquire a ROM, your M1 Mac will happily run 68k and PPC code in addition to the officially supported x86/x64 emulation.
In my experience, they are hit or miss like everyone else. If you wanna pay high wages, you're more likely to get a great dev, like everyone else. Most companies buy the "top quality at cheap price," line that many of them pitch. That's when they get into trouble. I blame the companies for selling in bad faith and I blame the execs for falling for it because they are blinded by cost cutting bonuses.

Those execs then go on to brag about it on their resume and get hired by another company for more money to cause the same type of disaster. Rinse repeat. Good for the outsourcing companies, good for the execs, bad for the existing dev team, bad for the hiring company. This has happened so many times over the last 20+ years, I'm amazed it still works.

Here is a very egregious example but it's still funny:

Some therapists do suggest other things before medication. More often than not a combined approach of medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes is recommended.

Psychiatrists tend to reach for medication because it’s one of their most powerful and effective tools, and it tends to offer fast and immediate relief. And with the effects of medication it can be easier to then make other changes.
I can relate to certain parts of the author's post, but not all of it. I do like that I can focus very intensely and work for hours on end on a single subject, BUT (and it is a big but) it is very hard for me to get there and I have to be vastly interested in the subject. Sometimes I can go weeks, or even months, on a very exciting project (80 hour weeks voluntarily) only to get to some very mundane or boring parts and then go weeks struggling to work at all (and spend weeks trying to shift into a more exciting part to get me revved up again). If it is a subject I hate and don't find interesting at all it is very difficult to get the work done. Overall, I consider ADD in my case way more of a negative than a positive. I'd give it up for free in a heartbeat.
