Credit where it's due, I think Windows Terminal's team did try to extend an apology. (Sincere or not, what is the extent that you deem sincere enough)

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10462#issuecomm...

> We certainly handled the original issue poorly, and we're trying to do better.

> We may not have taken the feedback seriously to begin with, but if it appears to have been completely dismissed then I am sorry.

> Personally I'd like to also welcome @ cmuratori and @ mmozeiko back to give any comments if they wish to do so. Of course it'd be entirely understandable if they don't.

Minimised comment https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10462#issuecomm...

> We‘re quite aware about the code and are extremely happy about what was created there. I mean it seriously: It sets a great goal for us to strive for.
Unfortunately the code is intentionally GPLv2 licensed and we‘ll honor this wish entirely. As such no one at Microsoft will ever look at either of the links.

Claims that they tried to communicate with Casey:

> I‘ve talked with the author before and they made it abundantly clear they don’t wish to ever speak with us again. They‘re entirely welcome to return and take part in this project‘s discourse of course… I‘d be delighted if that was the case!

Thankfully, more and more drug stores seem to carry DE blades. Thanks to your comment I googled around a bit and found a cover:

It looks like an one off case based on this thread. Title saying "offers" seems misleading.

This could be unrelated: I was interviewing with them recently, had a technical interview scheduled, and then out of the blue last week they emailed me and told me they were discontinuing the process as they had now filled all positions... this was not the result of an interview, a had already "passed" the previous one and scheduled the next.

I assumed it must have been something about me (and it still could be), but the timing of this is interesting.

I am also in Canada which is where the person was told the hiring situation had changed.
The 1.7 trillion figure is for the projected cost of the program till at least 2070. Less than half that has been spent so far.
I have a strong dislike for remote work and will only work at companies with offices where people are expected to go to the vast majority of days.

I absolutely understand that it's the opposite for some people.
@atmosx, this is great advice. I appreciate the focus on balance and diversification. It's something I've traditionally struggled with, leading to periods of unhappiness and burnout, and focusing on ways to avoid this cannot be overstated. Thank you.
Good. There needs to be more of this. Forced commute is a horrendous work-lifestyle to maintain.
The whole point of the plane is to never dogfight. If it gets into a dogfight, it's already failed.

I'm the same. It's a fascinating game and I've given it a couple of tries but I get the feeling you really need friends or be outgoing enough to make friends in-game. It's not a game you can play by yourself in my experience.
I told Apple I wasn’t interested in interviewing for a non-remote role based on their NYC office.

I’m not an engineer who can work anywhere I want. And I’m confident that working at Apple would have an incredible positive effect on my career.

Still not worth it. I’d rather find a local job outside of tech than get back on the office space hamster wheel.

I’m sure I’m being naive, but could this be worked around by passing a mutable reference to the state into the callback rather than it closing over the state? Assuming there’s only one UI thread, then only one callback can run at once anyway…

Can this be used as a library like libp2p, or does it require me to run binaries?
Great suggestion -- thank you. I've written this down.

For a marijuana risk I’ve not seen mentioned often:

I fainted in my hallway while going to bed thanks to orthostatic hypotension which is made significantly stronger when I smoke.

I still don’t consider it worse than alcohol though. It’s well known to be neurotoxic, hepatoxic, and addictive. And if you do get addicted, the withdrawals are worse than many hard drugs. The positive effects are generally pretty nice, but almost invalidated by the next morning.
You can think of a normal lense like an extremely specific filter. It ensures light from a specific direction, and that direction only, arrives at the sensor. Some also ensure only light oscillating in a specific way goes through (polarization), or of a specific frequency (with color filters).

This filtering is necessary for us to produce useful data from the total chaos that is the actual light field - aka all the light bouncing and going in all directions at once - where ‘us’ are our normal human brains.

Other ways of handling it though if you can use different types of information processing.
From what I understand, they only have to review/audit the times a gem was yanked, to see if it was a legitimate action. I reckon there is a lot less occurrences
> It's overrated. Still phenomenal compared to alcohol

Most things that don’t leave me with a splitting headache and day long nausea are great compared to alcohol.
The implication I thought was that his credits might have ended in 2014
As long as it's over the thermal floor within its own bandwidth, yes, it will be obvious that there's still a signal there.

When it comes to interplanetary reception, though, any intelligently-constructed signals will likely be below the noise floor unless deliberately broadcast for our benefit. No coherent carrier or sidebands? No spreading sequence? No chance of detection, whether encrypted or not.
The Plex system is still pretty clever though. It doesn’t create new ISK so it’s not inflationary.
"Director of Machine Learning" is different than "A director of a machine learning project." "Director of Machine Learning" kind of implies that he oversaw a lot of machine learning projects across the company. Being "a director of a machine learning project" means you run a team. Big difference.
Okular just works. Really quickly. It does the job and gets out of the way.

Is there anything HNers feel more passionately about than remote work?

this is really cool. Does the cards get automatically added to the Anki database? What do you do if you want to add to different decks?
Where are you seeing that this is some kind of "protest" or display or righteousness? Could it not be that he just left the company because he personally enjoys working from home?
What the Inclusionists seem to miss is the fact that an encyclopedia isn't The Hitchhiker's Guide or Angelfire,

No, we're all quite aware of that.
That is exactly my point.

Then don’t try to convince me to separate my waste at home, because when you ask what is the true impact of it they say it is small but the sum of small efforts is what matters. Or is it that some are exempt of it?
Unpaywall has very little to do with scihub: This isn't about giving access to works that aren't publicly available, but instead about giving links to existing free uploads of the material by the author (i.e. on arxiv or his/her personal website).
I'd be interested to see what each looks like if the allocations were done external to the benchmark. For that matter, it'd be interesting to see if after the allocations are factored out, if the same function could be used for cuda & cpu. From there, I'd be curious if the compiler is able to vectorize it automatically, or if it'd benefit from a @simd

It's also great to see how well cuda is supported in julia. I've started to pick up julia lately, and find it incredibly pleasant to work with. It feels like a lovely mix of haskell, lisp, and python, with a really nice repl.

It's amazing how quickly Golden Krishna's TED-circuit profile faded and everyone forgot the critical UX lesson that he built his brand on: The best UI is no UI. The corollary being that if a one-step action now requires you to unlock your phone, you've added at least one additional step (probably more) and your "smart" IoT solution is a downgrade, not an upgrade.
I can't judge the flexibility of your degree, but I stretched my full-time master's degree from 3 full-time to 7 part-time semesters while working part-time on IT-projects (both in an IT consultancy and the entrepreneurial center of another university) on the side (also in Germany, but a university of applied sciences instead).

I wouldn't say that's "dragging things out" like you said, I consider it more like doing a master's degree on my own terms while keeping up my motivation and passion for the field I'm in. With the previous SWE experience you mentioned it should be possible to look for a working student position fitting your interests.
I think I just ran into this issue about a week ago. I started working on a task manager written in Rust using the Cursive library, which provides like an ncurses TUI. Heavy use of callbacks, but all callbacks require a <'static> lifetime. All the structures I make for information on the database of course don't have <'static> lifetimes. I eventually figured out that cursive has a function where you can kind of give it the data, but to pull the data back out requires a lot of cloning and boiler plate code.
Climate change: Your point is whataboutism. It does not address the issue.

Inequality: Capitalism vs "left wing governments" is apples to oranges. And I don't think the point is that inequality exists so much as rate of growth in inequality.

Police brutality: If it's a problem, and it is, then not getting worse by some measure still doesn't mean it's no longer a problem. The "defund the police" party here in the US has responded to police brutality mostly by increasing police budgets.

Deadly pandemic: That's redundant. We don't have merely annoying pandemics. Many countries independently created vaccines - look up Cuba.
You could totally do that! See https://github.com/pojntfx/weron#8-write-your-own-protocol-w..., but I agree with saurik - if DTLS is secure enough for your usecase, that would just add overhead ...
If you can't think of a proposal on your own you probably just wasted two years of your life and should probably not have perused and advanced degree.
It must be difficult to repeat the success of a once-in-a-lifetime finding.
Although I suppose it would probably be more time-efficient to just have a quick look at the conclusion of AI papers, I really like this idea. I never thought about the possibility to look at the "further proposed research/further work"-part in papers to find a thesis topic. Thank you.
The running joke is that you win EO when you finally quit.

The effects just follow the plot, dialog and character development. Since they are all crap, the effects should be the same.

Nolan took it to another level in Tenet for dialog/audio. Just make it unintelligble, and you don’t have to worry about a script.

What is motivating your interest in Schmelzer's papers? Or maybe, why are you trying to draw HN users' attention to them?

Preprint version <https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0205035>; interesting the spread of dates in the submission history.

I don't have time to comment in any detail on this new link (or to peruse it, although I did read Appendix H.3 with some care), other than to say that it is a better read (and more professional) than the 1997 preprint you supplied earlier. I don't know Advances in Applied Clifford Algebras, but I hope that was a good choice for the author.

It does bother me though that the journal reproduces the latest preprint's typo "exteriour bundle" (superfluous u) in the second sentence of the second paragraph of the article. This is hardly a ringing endorsement of Springer quality on a "transformative journal" which is trying to squeeze out of authors 2300 euros in article-processing charges... https://sci-hub.se/https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007... (for the published version)
Isn't that exactly what happened in Alabama?
“coverage”

do you mean like on TV or something? no one watches that
The XML comments are just my personal preference because it's fast. I have it bound to ",," so that with 2 taps, I could make a card in a few seconds. It's also supported automatically in different markdown programs like Typora/Obsidian. When I upload to the web, the comments also disappear, so the flow of the note isn't interrupted if I just want to read. For example, when you can look at my personal wiki here, you wouldn't know these are cards unless you see the original markdown files. https://kangruixiang.github.io/wiki/

You can also use anything else instead. In my example, you could use {{}} as the front of the card instead of comments. I just chose comments myself.
A drone shooting a missile at said bunker, or flying up to the bunker and detonating a HEAT warhead it is carrying, or flying a new drone in when the old one gets hit by shrapnel all work great in these examples by the way.

Fabricating a kamikaze drone with HEAT warhead on it is a $10k or less affair.

Tanks are expensive, heavy sitting ducks. The only reason they haven’t been completely obsoleted is manufacturing drones hasn’t caught up yet.

They’re like horses in WW1 being used to charge machine guns in this fight.

In most of these cases you don’t even need a drone to do the dirty work though. Just one to find the bunker or whatever and let artillery or a cruise middle do the rest.

Those drones can be less than $5k, but they do get more expensive if you want to be able to pilot them from the other side of the planet or whatever.
It is by the original definition. Though not by some of the recent redefinitions but as they are often due to marketing getting good of the dictionary...
It's nice to get the benefit of the doubt, and I'm tempted to let it remain, but let me clarify: I'm serious. I was impressed with Lee Kwan Yew's "From Third World to First" and it seemed to me he wasn't bashful about talking about the times he made an illiberal, dictator move. Both from the outcome and his telling, he made these moves as rarely as possible and didn't relish them. And he did smart things like rewarding government officials extremely well so that they would be (relatively) immune to bribery. I'm sure there are other examples of good leadership from the seat of absolute monarchy, even if we mainly focus on the bad ones in history class. FDR's wartime leadership comes to mind (people seem to forget how illiberal American government was during the war - and it was surely effective).

In all cases, the key to success with illiberal government seems to be self-restraint. When the war ends, you give up power. Or in general, when the object is achieved, you give up power. I've not followed Singapore's timeline since I read the book, so maybe they've backslid? Maybe its a psuedo monarchy run my Yew's ancestors? If so, that's a failure. Hopefully they can figure out how to pick leaders in a rational way - like an aptitude test.
Yeah let me know if you have any comments or suggestions!
Being a powerful employee is the exact thing that make his protest noticeable and able to better the lives of the rest of us a little bit. Anyway, isn't there at-will employment in the US? Apple, if you don't like it, just hire another person?
I am working for Amazon, fully from home. Zero expectation to ever step into the office. Each organization within Amazon is taking a different approach, leading to a lot of variability. Throwing this information out there in case anyone is put off by assuming that Amazon is demanding a return to office.
Is that why apple store employees are called "geniuses" ?
I feel the same.

I like working from an office and I like informal interactions with colleagues — from chatting over coffee to peeking around and seeing who is free to whiteboard a problem.
+1 for a decent wet shave razor.
I left Apple for the same reason. Director level folks get the headlines, but there are a lot of lower level folks doing the same thing.
This remind me of how Austrian economists insist on abolishing currency monopolies while simultaneously proclaiming that gold is going to win the competition of currencies. Sure competition is good but at the end of the day people prefer keeping gold over transacting with it.
A HTTPS fallback is more or less what weron provides - if you want to block the "weron protocol", you either have to block access to the signaling service (which runs on 443, and its just WebSockets) or block the related protocols, but since Zoom etc. use the same protocols that would probably be pretty hard to implement without disrupting everyday operations.
The OP did play Tibia, in fact they develop Zezenia, which is essentially a Tibia clone.

I never got that as the overall point because there are definitely classification systems (especially in math) that don't have counter-examples.

Hotdogs and tacos are the same, topologically speaking. We derive additional meaning between the two words because they're not the same due to bread and filling used, but topology doesn't care about that. It's entertaining because it's food and everyone has experience with that, but there's some serious math once you look into it!

I guess you could classify me as a structural purist - ingredient rebel on the sandwich alignment chart. I'm guessing you're a structural neutral - ingredient purist person.
That's very cool! Thanks for answering my question so fast!
Obviously I wrote this with humor. Seeing it was not welcomed by the super serious members.
I guess you don’t.
Yes, but it's not always true - see cousin comment. There are examples of actually good dictators in history - but my back of the envelope estimate is that its like 1 in 20.
So that's what, 4 layers of encapsulation now? Yikes.
Sorry, I meant to say "less". I can confirm that this is true in my case.
Should be fine as long as there is significant current keeping the water moving.
What happens when you lose/break/get stolen, or app bugs out? You are SOL? There are utopian theories. And I've watched enough hunger games to know this will only end with someone breathing poison.
My hair is pretty coarse, so I needed to experiment around for a while before finding something that worked. The main issues that caused nicks and razor burn for me were as follows.

* Overly frequent shaving. If I shave every day, I will get nicks and ingrown hairs, regardless of technique. After I shave, the skin slightly closes up around the follicle. Not enough to be fully ingrown, but enough that there's a bump of skin from about 12 hours post-shave to 72 hours post-shave. If I shave again during that time period, the razor will catch on those bumps and cause nicks. If I wait 3-4 days, the hair pushes out, and can be cut cleanly.

* Clogged razors. This is partly due to the coarse hair, and partly needing to remove 3-4 days of growth at a time. The blades of a cartridge razor are placed far too close to each other, and need to be rinsed out several times over the course of a shave. Sometimes multiple times over a single stroke. If this isn't noticed, I need to go over the same area again, increasing razor burn. While safety razors clog as well, it takes longer for them to do so, and it is easier to rinse out the accumulated hair.

* Over-use of cartridge razors. An 8-pack of cartridge razors is $25, where a 100-pack of safety razor blades is $10. I get about 2-3 smooth shaves from each razor, and it's an easy habit to replace a ten-cent blade every week or so. Even if I accept that cartridge's last longer, I can't believe that they would last the 35 shaves estimated by the marketing's 5-week estimation. Between the higher cost and the claimed lifetime, I would use cartridge razors well past the point of being dull.

So at this point, I have a reasonable routine: Replacing the blade of a safety razor every 7-10 days, shave every 3-4 days. But figuring out that routine requires going against the advertising, choosing an older style of razor, and avoiding the cultural expectation of daily shaving.
Can you give me some?

I love stackoverflow content, but hate the surface, e.g. how it loads jquery from google (???) and if I disable it, then the content breaks, because obviously the only way to implement a toggleable div is when you send your users browsing history to google directly..
What a self-centred take. Not everyone has the same priorities as you, and if he values wfh more highly than whatever the benefits of working for apple are, then why would you call it “entitled” to decide to quit rather than go back to the office? I would quit rather than go back to the office, and i don’t have the options that the Director of ML at apple has!
I think the fact that he sent out a note to staff gives that impression.
This is really cool as well! It's fun to see how different people have different solutions to the same problem.
When those reports come out that “The average Google employee makes $220k a year” or whatever, it’s totally misleading since it doesn’t account for all the outsourced labor at $10 an hour that is critical to tuning their algorithms.
Thanks for your work on Pion! I really enjoyed working with it, even in other places (STFS[1], a file system for tape drives that I wrote in January, uses it to access remote servers behind NAT for example). NAT-PMP/PCP support would be awesome!

[1] https://github.com/pojntfx/stfs
Yeah but it still creates the constant temptation to just buy back your losses and it also lets you put a dollar value on everything you do. I quit after I realized I was grinding for $1.72 an hour.
