In the modern world gender neutral is more than "both genders".

Some women get pissed at being called a "lady".

It is a minefield, but better than using low English phrases like: "folks", or "guys" (that is a gender neutral slang term in my world)

Always use high English when talking business. Formal language every time.

My mother in law's mom is from one of these islands, and when I showed her the pictures of this site, she knew the names of most people and their backgrounds. It was incredible listening to that.

She also said that a few of the houses as it was in the process of transported over the water and then resettled, were looted while people were told to stay away, quite sad.
All these costs are capped and not that important for higher salaries. Health insurance is only paid for the first 58k. The state pension, unemployment insurance etc do not increase for salaries over 85k.

I would expect a good benefits package in the US to be more expensive for the employer than the mandatory costs for German insurances.
16xx, 20xx, 30xx, and some enterprise cards. Still great progress.
A sighted user with a cursor or touchscreen can be as non-linear as the size of the viewport and the layout allows.

All designers should design the linear experience as well as the non-linear experience because the linear is all some users will have. Responsive design is a move in that direction, a smartphone portrait display is much narrower than a laptop display so the content tends to be in a more linear layout. Experiences through voice assistants are also linear.
I'm more concerned about the housing market than the stock market.

The drop in inflated securities prices seems like its just the business cycle doing its thing. Take a look at the Wall St. Cheat Sheet. We're still at the Denial / Panic phase, but we'll get to the Anger / Depression phase in time.

Its a bit surprising to me there hasn't been _more_ tumult, given all that has been happening in the world the past few years.
AI War and the Dominions series (generally whatever release the latest one is) are my go-to for that type of engrossing gameplay.
I have an irrational annoyance when projects claim to support "desktop UI" but then only have the most trivial of widgets commonly used in desktop applications. Where is my tree view? Data grid view? Charts? Native file dialog window?

From my perspective, while I'm sure Flutter is wonderful, it fits squarely in the "mobile" UI toolkit and "basic" desktop application category.
I'm also an owner of an older 182 (1966 - 182K) I agree with you the POH won't really teach someone enough about the aircraft to fly it let alone operate the radios.

I was hoping to see better HTML rendering. Using a single canvas to render web apps was my one turn off. Flutter is the right choice for many apps, but not for apps primarily accessed over the Web.
I think the interviewing process is an extremely informative view into what it's like to work at that company. The exact steps to take depend on how bad it is / how much you want the job / other context, but I think it's a safe assumption that they are treating you like they treat their coworkers, and that this is not unusual behavior for the company.

I've ended a few interview processes at companies due to things I observed during onsite interviews (not necessarily rudeness), and with the benefit of hindsight I think those were absolutely the right call.

I did have one particularly rude interviewer once, but since it was in finance I thought it was a "stress interview". I took the job, and it turns out that this person was just toxic and the company had a culture of tolerating toxic people if they were high enough performers. I'm still glad I took the job, but the experience definitely was strong evidence of the link between what you see in an interview and what you get if you work there.
String escaping in fish is phenomenal. Painless. You don't have to think about it at all. A single variable expansion results in exactly a single command line argument. As it should. As is logical.

I’d like to recommend Dan Lyons’ Lab Rats which dissects American corporate culture and its negative influence on employees.

Dan Lyons wrote the fake Steve Jobs blog, Disrupted, and was one of the writers on Silicon Valley.
For one thing, for remote communities, small planes are an absolute necessity, not simply for recreation. You've lumped together all small aircraft with hobby flying.

That aside, I think your environmental argument against hobby flying is interesting, but this other chip you have on your shoulder regarding "entitlement" and "the elderly" and "entertainment" people isn't very persuasive.

Dismissing something as "just entertainment for entitled people" is silly. Hobby flying is far from the only environmentally damaging thing that humans do only for entertainment.

People like customising these things to be mini-avatars as a form of self expression. I don’t see a reason to get upset about this option existing — not even from the perspective of “oh no strings are even weirder, I can’t safely treat them as a stream of bytes all the time”, given that combining characters are needed for other stuff anyway.

Random side note - I'm amazed they're using gifs here to show off their subtle color updates to skin tone.

I've mentioned this on HackerNews before: it was spring of '86 when the fractal research group was finally getting around to playing with the software we'd been using to create our publication images. I was a sr graphics consultant at the Boston University 3D Graphics Lab, and due to my being staff at the graphics lab my user account had unlimited processing privileges. This was necessary to get the fractal renders in any reasonable time, running on the University's IBM 3090 mainframe which the entire university used for practically everything.
Not really considering the consequences, I made a short program that would generate a 256x256x256 fractal cube of sin()+cos(), which is the specific formula contribution of mine for the "Beauty of Fractals" book. Well, I should have considered the consequences: I launched the program, and immediately everyone's terminals in the graphics lab froze. Suspicious it was due to my program, I figured it would finish in a minute and everything would be okay. Someone mentioned the larger terminal room downstairs with a few hundred terminals was also frozen. Then I heard someone in the hallways shouting "who the hell is bsln5!" (my username.) In a minute the graphics labs will full of the mainframe admins shouting red faced at me to kill my process. I killed it and was immediately escorted out of the building and told I'd be in a hearing for my malicious use of the mainframe. Well, once everything was figured out, I had my unlimited processing privilege revoked, and a new policy was put in place for high compute research projects. During the evaluation it was determined if let run to completion, the program would have run for 35 years - finishing just last year.
I don't mean well-considered and documented libraries, I mean the thing where someone goes to DRY up a codebase and keeps thinking "oh, if I just add a parameter this function can also handle this one-off case over here..." over, and over, and over, until you've got this function with a name that makes it look straightforward but for some reason it wants three strings, two of which should actually be nulled in most cases (and god help you if you fill in a value when you don't need them), an integer for unclear reasons but it's the same value in every call you can find, and half a dozen booleans that you'll have to go read the source to figure out, because some of them do more than the variable name in the signature implies.

Good intentions at every step, but a Frankenstein's monster of a function (or entire class, sometimes) in the end

It's the DRY equivalent of having 20 slightly-different copypastes all over a codebase.
If it's unclear, then it's poor code or poor documentation or both. Sane developers will provide a way to obtain default or common configurations rather than forcing you to figure out the 100 different tunable options.
There is the objective fact that darker skin tones are harder for some AI algos to process due to lower contrast. There's also the fact that a lot of training data just didn't have people of darker skin, and that a couple of news article pointed out that some people were classified in object detection systems in a rather... racist way.

Having enough savings to not work for a year or two is a good thing to aim for, and should be feasible for a lot of people in our industry. Just knowing I don't need to stay in a job if it starts to suck badly is probably the thing that's had the biggest positive effect on my mental health.
In my opinion what we really need (if we are going to continue to live a lifestyle at all similar to what we have now) are big investments in new farming methods that allow food to be grown next to where people live. If you want to live in a big city now (which potentially can have big environmental benefits with multiunit housing and whatnot) your food probably comes from far away. Imagine if the highrise next to you instead grew tons of fresh vegetables, mushrooms, and other food and you could buy it direct from the "farm" at a store at the base? Nothing would be wasted in shipping - it would be as fresh as possible - prices could be low - and convenient as hell. I don't see any reason why we could not (with better understanding of soil) have complex systems of fungi and dirt in such a system as well.
I have once played a hot seat game of Moo2 with two friends. I had an increased production race, one friend had an improved science race, and second one had silicoids on steroids - he picked all kinds of maluses to get eating rocks and surplus birth rate.

... and he wiped the floor with both of us, silicoids are OP, please, nerf.

Great games and happy memories from childhood. Moo1 was better in feel, but moo2 was better at actual gameplay.

Incredible if extortion actually worked.
The kernel modules are the first stage I guess, since a massive amount of hardware programing knowledge is in user space like with AMD/intel GPUs.

I wonder how much LAPSUS$ hack has to do with it.

I wonder if nvidia hardware programing interface is a mess like AMD one, just curious.
None. Most of these places are using sampled salary data.
I get it but when I took martial arts as a kid it didn’t devolve into a free-for-all so I guess it would depend on the effectiveness of the teacher to maintain order.
All very good advice. I would add:

10. Your workmates are not your friends. Your friends are your friends.

and

11. The way a company shows it appreciates you is mainly, not only, through money. (Related to 10) Having fun "team building" activities in otherwise non working time is not them showing appreciation.
I was worried they had actually decided not to do this after seeing all of the other recent developments and then a pause. Glad to see it was just part of the path to it.

Agreed. I think there does have to be more science done, and at the end of the day I do think flossing helps. However it is a little weird to me that this study just seems to throw out the meta analysis of the other 12 studies and not have a discussion about where those studies went wrong. I also think any study done by a company without blinding etc is going to be prone to a lot of bias.

If I was given this question my first inclination would be to ask what your current understanding of the process is and you want to know. If that didn't help, I'd start with the absolute highest level "the google.com website loads in the area below the address bar" and then I'd be back to "what else do you want to know?". Hopefully that would be enough for you to start narrowing in (what does "load" mean and how does that work?).

Opening with DNS, HTTPS, TCP, etc. could end up being a complete waste of time depending on what signals your looking for, what you're really asking, and your background. I'm curious how my responses would be interpreted by you as someone who's asked questions like this before?
It comes down to what one considers "fundamental knowledge" that one needs to do the job. If you claim to be a programmer, but don't know what an array is, you're probably not actually a programmer. But not knowing esoteric data structure that one may encounter once in their career is not really indicative of anything.

Depends how you want to handle it. If its rude, address it in the moment as you would a rude colleague. If its someone you'd report to, ask the other interviewers if this is to be expected (hint; it will be, but asking cements in these peoples' minds that its effecting hiring). Be loud and honest and mostly don't work there. There's a million places to work right now, but make it known why you won't deal with people's bs, or better yet address it in the moment and let them know its not acceptable. If its just "perceived rude" but fine, then great, you both learned something. If its fine and you just thought wrong, great lesson, you learned you were mistaken.
They might be raising the distinction between "rain forest" and "jungle".

As I understand it, A rain forest is a tropical forest characterized by a dense canopy that blocks most sunlight from reaching the floor; it has relatively little undergrowth.

A jungle is a tropical forest without a dense canopy, and so has heavy undergrowth. This frequently exists on the edges of a rain forest or in other areas where storms, etc prevent the growth of a dense canopy.

Maybe "jungle" does not apply to much of this land in Colombia?
It will be...in about a year and a half. Until then, more bloodshed.

I remember reading an article where it was claimed that Nvidia successfully did a “counter hack” on that group, whatever that means.

My entire knowledge of the subject is what she said in that quote and I'm otherwise ignorant of the subject from a professional perspective so I'd just be guessing if I was going to elaborate, but I can tell you what I took from it: to me it meant that most people are a little deluded about their lives. Some productively, some not so much.

Apple should follow MS's example and open source its Terminal.app

It's a decent terminal emulator, but could use several enhancements and the community could help.

For some reason I haven't changed to iTerm yet, even though it's been objectively better in every way for years.
Even the minor gripe I had with font rendering is fixed.

There's something about using default apps as much as possible that appeals to me. But Terminal.app is lagging compared to the competition.
To clarify: I only mean this particular submission. Other submissions have contained content. With Javascript disabled, I could see any substantive content in this one, just a message about additional pages that have been added to a for sale "e-zine". Maybe I missed something. It seems like pages from some blogs end up on the HN front page again and again and again. The one hosted at utoronto.ca is another recent example. It makes me think the algorithm or voters are just selecting based on past reputation, not the actual content, as this "buy my e-zine" advertisement demonstrates. There is so much more variety of material that gets submitted to HN that never, ever reaches the front, not even for a moment. (We will never know what would happen if it did.) As such, HN contains a remarkably large amount of discussion-worthy material that never gets discussed. Meanwhile one can be sure we will see the next installment of some familiar blog, danfuu.com or whatever, on the front page, as well as constantly resubmitted submissions, even recycled ones that have already been discussed several times.
Who do you think staffs those companies?

> It takes very little effort to be an Eagle Scout.

The actual requirements aren't that demanding for reasonably-intelligent kids. As in so many areas of life, one's work ethic and persistence matter a lot because of the time-in-grade and position-of-responsibility requirements for each of the upper ranks, namely Star, Life, and Eagle, and those requirements must be completed for each rank in series, not in parallel.

> I completed all requirements including the community project aside from the board review before I turned 13.

I was an assistant Scoutmaster, and then the troop committee chair, in my son's troop, which we think is the largest in the U.S. (some 250 boys and around 50 registered adult leaders during my time). The troop is known as an "Eagle factory," but the Scouts have to put in the work. Hardly any of them make it to Eagle before about age 15 or 16 because they also do sports and other activities and eventually get distracted by the scent of gasoline and perfume (as the saying used to be in the days of all-male Scouting). Not a few Eagle Scouts, including my own son, complete their final requirement, a Scoutmaster conference, with just a couple of hours to go before they age out at 12:00:00 a.m. at the start of their 18th birthdays.

You’re right about software being a good option, but I will caution that it can feel like too much of a change for someone coming from math because the job interviews sometimes assume that you know the CS undergraduate curriculum. The other side of the coin is that being good at advanced math isn’t an advantage in something like web development, except insofar as it has trained you to be hypersensitive to potential errors (bugs) in the code.

As someone who made the move to software from math many years ago, it feels like it was a good short-term decision, but I don’t know if I can make a life-long career of it. Sometimes I wish I’d chosen something that played to my strengths more.
I'm so bloody glad I'm not the only one!
