This argument can be used to justify forcing candidates to learn how to do double-entry bookkeeping (or insert other skill that you won't use on the job) just to see if they can learn. Yes, it checks if they can learn, yes, it is somewhat related to the area, but maybe there's a better way?

I've been 10 years in the industry. If recruiter tells me I need to prepare for an interview in ways other than looking back at the projects I've done, then the interview is not testing for what is important on the job.

How is pro choice a stupid term? You are literally arguing that the government shouldn't get involved in someone's medical care, that they should be allowed to make their own choices rather than having the decision forced on them by the court.

The only reason i can see you saying this is that you are angry and have found a group to other. Perhaps you should do some meditation or smoke a joint or whatever to relax, and stop directing your anger at people advocating for a position you agree with.
Last year (2021) Volvo sold 698693 cars, and that's including all of their models, not just electric.

Tesla sold 936222, which is obviously significantly more than Volvo.

Or maybe not, who knows:

This is a very dismissive answer which seems odd coming from someone with a lot of karma. Running GPUs at scale isn't easy or cheap.

There is no incentive to run this other than good feelings. Unfortunately, that isn't enough in the business world to spend millions on cap/opx.

What I'm looking for is incentivized options. Even better if they come from a web3 situation where a business can operate without having actual customers.

Is it not well known that the Lehman International (London) book turned the all history record yield when finally unwound by the liquidators, and made LB fundamentally solvent at the death?

Edit: solvent at crisis time. LBI wasn't linked to onshore information systems.
These 2.5 billion euros is almost nothing for a country the size of Germany. I mean, it’s 0.1% of the total budget (€1762.4 billion last year). It’s nothing. Are you really getting all huffy & puffy about paying for a scheme that provides transportation to poorer people and helps the environment? And are you the same about all other tiny expenses, or is it just this one in particular.
Thread safety isn't an issue that I've observed, but it's still dog slow and pretty much always will be. Sampling profilers are generally better when you can use them.
Isn’t it ironic that you’re ok with getting a job after graduating from a multiple-year college program but not after a “3-4 month grind on leetcode questions”? If the industry prefers experience and the ability to solve algorithmic riddles, would it not make more sense if college gave you this?
My first response focused on problems that do not require knowledge of any named algorithms, data structures, math or tricks. I even mentioned I do not care about heaps, linked lists etc. I'm not sure how we're back at LeetCode.

Of course you're going to have to spend weeks on LeetCode if interview questions target knowledge of dynamic programming, heaps etc.

You're preaching to the choir.

My point was that FizzBuzz might test individuals to see if they can code, but there are "harder" problems that happen on a daily basis, and the amount of years you put in will affect your ability to pattern match.

Competitive programming captures a part of the essence of programming, you're writing minimal, fast and efficient programs. You improve your pattern matching to minimize the amount of intermediate state, unnecessary loops etc. After some point, competitive nature pushes you to specialize, and then it probably stops making sense if you want to make programming your craft.
The quotations around "amateur" should be moved to "fought". Nonetheless, it's encouraging that this level of research can be executed at home, however the strict burden of proof required should still be maintained.
Sorry, clearly I confused you. I was being sarcastic. I should have made that obvious (e.g. with /s etc).
Yeah, I think that's actually part of the intent of the whiteboarding in the first place. How type-A and career-obsessed are you? Enough to spend months learning tangentially relevant material to pass an interview?
> made LB fundamentally solvent at the death?

The problem wasn't solvency. It was liquidity. The point of bank regulation is to ensure that banks can survive small bouts of illiquidity and remain solvent through major ones.
I love how mito enables companies to use the power of open-source!

You might want to think about enabling companies to create the company specific extensions themselves e.g. via a plugin API. You might still request them to pay for this version of Mito but they are enabled to extend it with their engineering power instead of relying on you.

We had good experiences with this at bamboolib (I am one of the co-founders) and in addition to recurring license revenue it also increased demand for consulting from our end because the internal company devs started working on plugins and then wanted our direct guidance on how to get the more tricky things to work.
Show HN: Run Compute Resources on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Free Tier
Oh you know what an alternative use is? Oaths. Works with old ASICs as well...well I think. So you take a document, like this comment, you append a nonce (you'll see) and you hash it until you get a lot of zeroes in the front. Same as bitcoin, but you're not hashing the bitcoin protocol. Then, you know the document has been sworn, as a cryptographic oath, to that extent. Nonce: 38943

bamboolib appears to be closed-source. You're at their mercy.
I was first exposed to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure by having to spearhead my employer's tenancy there in addition to AWS and Azure. After realizing OCI offered a fairly generous amount of compute resources on its Free Tier, I decided to explore moving some of my own personal workloads there.

As I ended up creating Terraform configurations for my experimentation, I decided to refine them and make them potentially useful for those who want to try running compute instances on OCI or want to see samples of Terraform configurations for OCI.

The one I've submitted provisions the maximum amount of compute resources available on the Free Tier in terms of processing power, memory, and block storage along with managed volume backups.

I've also created a similar configuration that provisions a "minimal" amount of resources in the form of a single compute instance: https://github.com/RhubarbSin/terraform-oci-free-compute-min...

I hope someone may find these examples helpful and informative.

We're super focused on the open source offering. The vast majority of our users are on the open source version and the vast majority of the features we release are open source! (You can check out our PR's if you're interested in verifying)

The Mito Pro and Enterprise plans are designed for advanced users and teams. In those versions we provide features that make it easier to collaborate, create presentation-ready materials, and hook up to other company resources.

But we're an open source tool through and through!

I took the "4 day" Toronto to Vancouver train around Christmas time 2019.
It was eventful, they had a bad batch of wheel bearings, which got us stuck at Sudbury ON for a day.

But despite that, it was a fun, low stress experience. Especially compared to air travel.

I look forward to the day that I could take the Vancouver to Toronto train.

Side note, I did take the Stockholm to Malmo to Copenhagen night train, and I took the Bergen to Oslo night train. If there's even a bed, I would not hesitate doing that again on another vacation. If you're going to sleep in a hotel, you might as well be moving.

I'm from a biology/healthcare background and come to HN for the interesting tech discussions, trivia and the different perspective. I've learnt loads over the past few years and got into a few amateur programming projects in my free time and I'm grateful for that. But I've stopped going to the comments section of anything related to my actual fields of knowledge because the comments are often so wrong/borderline crazy it's hard to know where to start. Makes me wonder if the comments on the tech stuff I don't know so much about are often just as bad but I can't tell...

Where do you think Derek goes wrong?
Right, so the sibling reply was correct. The person I was replying to said that the "problem" they were trying to solve when they invented the practice in the 1800's was things like seizing smuggled goods off a ship, where the owner is overseas and you don't have an extradition treaty with them.

So, seize the goods in anticipation of convicting the owner. Make a law that says the owner can apply for a writ, and a case must be made. If the owner doesn't show up, then the goods are abandoned property. That allows the case described to be prosecuted, while not opening up the insane abuses we've all heard so much about.

The web page needs to be heavier
To pull the curtains back a bit: we probably spend about 85% of our product and development time on open source code. Just this week, we developed copy and paste, nan value filling, and spilling a text column on a delimiter - all of these are open source features.

As we've begun to engage with larger teams, we often take features that we build out for their workflow and open source them as well - a few of the teams have been explicit proponents for the open source tool, which is awesome to see.

I'm sure our thinking on this will evolve over time, but we are highly focused on developing just a _great_ piece of open source software. And for folks that need more power, we want to give them the chance to get it - while also supporting Mito's development :)

P.S. Check out our Mito Pro roadmap here: https://www.trymito.io/plans#mito_pro_roadmap. Feedback appreciated!

> Really? I think this is an extraordinary claim given some of the crashes and near-crashes that have happened (and again, the "autonomous" word).

The catch is that the situations where cars drive autonomously are easy, when the situation becomes complex, the autopilot bugs out and tells you to drive. Furthermore, the stereotypical easy case is on the highway, where you rack a lot of miles quickly, and statistics are typically "per mile driven".

Once you remove the bias, Tesla's self driving is not safer, I think I have seen a study that says that in the situations where Teslas can self-drive, they are on the same level as a human driver.

I think the real answer and probably why the article is a bit light on actual anecdotes, is that Britain or its military at the time probably didn't think much of it all, especially from a military point of view. Plus they were super busy with imperial concerns, especially in the British Raj post-1857 rebellion.

The U.S., although gaining steam economically (pun intended), was still a backwater, rural, nation isolated by a whole lot of ocean (edit: I meant all this from a military point of view). I am sure the abolitionists in power in Parliament were interested in the outcome of the war from that point of view, but it was really of very little consequence to UK or Europe as a whole.

What you seem to be missing is the fact that Snowden shouldn't be being prosecuted at all. He should be protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act. He shouldn't be "hiding" or "running" or whatever you'd like to call it because there shouldn't be anything to run or hide from. The second the evidence he presented was looked into the DOJ should have immediately dropped any charges against him, he should have been pardoned to protect him from any future prosecution, and he should have been awarded the medal of honor.

You're starting from this flawed premise that he needs to "face the music for his crimes" which is just completely fallacious. I couldn't care less what country he's in, again not the point. The point is the US doubled down on its crimes by not only committing them but illegally trying to prosecute someone who exposed them. For whatever reason or axe you have to grind you refuse to recognize any of that.

Gimp is basically originally a clone of Photoshop 3/4 without most of the subsequent ui improvements.

I can't confirm it but I wouldn't be surprised if the floating selection thing was also Photoshop behavior at the time.

So the difference isn't really how gimp started, it's just that development was mostly dead for 20 years and nobody put the work into improving the UI.

Blender also used to have a bad UI but people worked really hard to change that.

If you can write visualisations in Python itself, I am a big fan of Altair's syntax (https://github.com/altair-viz/altair), which is based on vega-lite. A while back, I wrote a brief guide and comparison of the main plotting libraries: https://datapane.com/reports/87NNEJ7/the-ultimate-guide-to-p...

One benefit of having them in actual code is that you can programmatically automate the creation of things like dashboards and reports. For instance, schedule a script to share an interactive plot every Monday morning, or build a live dashboard that updates every 10m. This opens up a lot of possibilities that would be impossible in a traditional drag-and-drop tool.

> Then get rid of everything plastic you own

followed by:

> I'm not telling you to get rid of plastic. I'm trying to highlight the hypocrisy of your comment

then you give examples of where plastic is. I'm acutely aware of exactly how much plastic I consume, and make a concerted effort to not do so. the Starbucks example? easy to avoid when you don't go to Starbucks. if I want coffee, I can safely either make it myself or take my reusable mug (which, yes, has one of the few plastic items that I care to consume with as a lid) to my local barista. and yes, I know how much plastic went into the production and transport of the beans.

believe it or not, not everyone chooses to go through life with their heads in the sand, but instead try to make a difference. so, before you continue on this line of thought, perhaps you should remember that not everyone in the world are idiots.

some of us (and likely more than you realize) do understand the impact, and make choices to have as small of an impact as possible while realizing exactly how much plastic there is around them (typed on plastic keys).
