If I own a battleship, its turning radius is a meaningful metric. If I own a millionth of a battleship, I probably didn't buy in on the strength of its turning radius.
It doesn’t really explain the how. But, as an author, I find it informative.
Your comment changed my mind about this. I still don’t want it to do reviews for me, but now I do want it to pre-review my changes before I create a PR so that I can avoid unnecessary review cycles from obvious mistakes.
I'd imagine most purchasers do want it. I didn't and eventually was able to get a series X through Costco but another few weeks of missing out and I might have bit the bullet and paid for the subscription.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure the sub was tied to the Xbox itself, so you'd have to resell everything.
Now this just needs to be integrated with DALL-E/Imagen and GPT-3 (plus a text to speech engine), to create an offline version of YouTube.
I worked at a place where the managers did everything they could to close out all the points by end of sprint, no matter what. A co-worker is taking longer than expected, says there is no way he'll be done in couple of days... so we close out his story, declare it done, and open a new one in the next sprint for "testing", "deployment", or whatever it takes to claim the points and move something into the next sprint.

I found this truly sad. If you want accurate "velocity", you need to track it accurately. Our estimates were wrong.
> And it fit well into the Reagony zeitgeist of the time, of removing large-scale institutions of social support.

Yes, if you don’t trust the social institutions because they’ve visibly failed you don’t support them. More or less everyone who was voting in the 80s would know that they were living in a society that was much higher crime than it had been. This is after huge expansions in social programmes.

Scrum masters are a disease, rotten to the core.
Does that "Not Interested" button do anything? I get continually spammed with recommended Minecraft videos. I've never watched one, have never played the game, and click on "Not Interested" for the suggestions, and still get spammed.
No, that would be using your brain and might risk us not being able to reach for the easiest to grab / lowest hanging fruit to trash our constitution with and not solve any actual problem by shilling for.
>I also had to run MS SQL Management Studio, and it only runs on Windows.

Azure Data Studio is cross-platform and the obvious successor judging by comparative release speed and that every SSMS install automatically installs ADS. It's also more annoying than SSMS, but ADS is still a better experience than most SQL gui tools.
I don't think the idea of systemd is wrong. Long time ago out of curiosity I decide to learn how the boot process works and examined the code. It turned out, the init system was written as a bunch of shell scripts.

Its creators probably tried their best to write it, gave functions good names, left comments sometimes, but still it was bad. Running several subprocesses to split a string into parts. Parsing text output of subprocesses. Creating unnecessary temporary files.

This style of programming leads to extremely fragile systems. If the command slightly changes its output, scripts will break. If the command output depends on locale, scripts will break.

Futhermore, there is no sane options for error handling in shell scripts. There is only a relatively sane option - crash on any error and an insane option - ignore any erros and continue. For example, we failed to backup a file, but ignore this error and delete the original. No way one can write something reliable using such tools.

So if you want to write an init system, I think there are better languages that a shell script. It is difficult to build a graph of services and find an optimal sequence to start them using shell scripts. Or implement lazy startup of non-critical services.

Init system is not only a program to boot the system, but it should provide some runtime services, like management of background processes, logins and other things. Again, a properly written daemon with an API is better than a bunch of shell scripts.

Regarding languages, I am not sure if C is good for this purpose, it's pretty awful too. To illustrate this, consider a C function declaration:

int set_working_directory(char *new_directory, char **error);

You cannot figure out how to call this function properly without documentation or examining the code.

Instead of C I would choose something like Swift, D, Go (but it has pointers), maybe Rust (but writing in Rust for me is mostly struggling against borrow checker). I would choose something that's easy to read, test and verify and has a package manager.

So if you don't like systemd, consider writing your init system using one of the languages above. But please don't use shell scripts anymore.

If they had a queue, I'd add myself and they'd get a guaranteed sale from me. Since there's no queue, I just have to wait until they're in stock somewhere. Might be Target, but it'll more likely be somewhere else.
> So the former is a bazaar. The latter a cathedral. Non comparable.

Isn't that exactly the comparison being made? A "10x" engineer can build a cathedral alone that does what you would otherwise have to hire a whole bazaar of engineers to replicate, at much higher cost.

(Pedantry: You're actually confused on the metaphor here. The Cathedral and the Bazaar was about development methodology, not individual performance. In fact a centralized, corporate product like chess.com would almost certainly be labelled a "Cathedral" by ESR. A "bazaar" is a project built of high-value individual contributions regardless of origin. Whether lichess qualifies or not, I don't know.)
I think this all comes to rent being too high. If you could move out after college in a decent/cool place with no roommates (unless you want them), people would feel like they have accomplished an important step.
> My friends who were naturally brilliant either stuck to the subjects they liked

When you know you are smart there is no reason to prove it to yourself by going to a fancy school.

Unfortunately you need to prove it to other people later, and going to the fancy school is a very simple signal.

One of the items that seems to be missed in these kind of discussions is the increased demand for what otherwise would be called sprawl. You hear about people want to stay in a big city, or want to move to $tier3 city, but there is also a large cohort that wants to move to within 1.5 hours of bigcity, so I can maintain my network/family/work in the office once a month/etc ... This "sprawl" space is't a limited as the cities proper ... but with commutes was effectively limited. That limit is gone for large groups of remote/semi-remote workers.
Lmao you just juxtaposed fixing inequality with “fixing inequality”. A totally opaque statement which is presumably only meant to be a wink and a nod to fellow political travellers if they happen to be in the same room so that they can agree with you. Or else (if they are not) just a totally deniable statement.

But now I’m supposed to detail my armchair tax plan/redistribution plan when I started out being a thousand times more specific than you? Sure, seems fair. And then when I answer all of those inquisitive questions, then what? Maybe bring up how taxation is inherently violent? (Well, I have no idea what your politics are like since you are all about expressing them through “air quotes”).

But sure. More concretely I think that specifically SC software engineers who work for data harvesting companies should be taxed pretty heavily. I also think that anyone with an IQ over 115 should get mandatory, shall we say, night courses on socialist/government theory and praxis. And anyone with an IQ above 125 should have to submit their big brains to 100 hours/yearly government-mandated Extracurricular Activities so that those big brains can do something good (less time for SSC (old name) and HN). Like making better government IT infrastructure so that there is less need for bureaucratic overhead (some EU countries have much better government IT which helps to streamline all kinds of services aimed at citizens). Is that specific enough for you?
These are the patents:

7,830,967: Applying a gamma correction before compression

8,174,560: Above with a transformation to take a delta between green and the red and blue channels to enhance compressability. Claims are extremely vague on this one.

9,245,314: Lossy compression prior to moving sensor data into memory

9,436,976: Just looks like a combination of the three previous patents

Kodak had prior art on a lot of this for their satellite image processing which isn't technically video but the data rates are in the same realm.
Ask HN: Job Hunting – How to get your resume seen by a human?
I'm specifically asking about applying through job boards or through the "careers" portal on company websites in the US. I get a fair amount of interest from startups by posting here in the monthly "Who wants to be hired?" thread, but a month is a long time to wait when a job has become intolerable.

Any tips for beating ATS resume filters?

I skip and leave blank any section in a job application form that asks for information that's included in my resume like "work experience". Does skipping these invoke the ire of the ATS?

I also skip any demographic/disability/veteran status questions or choose "decline to answer". I assume there are serious legal strictures against taking those into consideration when evaluating a candidate.

How important is a cover letter? Is a two or three-sentence cover letter sufficient? necessary?

> Like, if we assume that the user is this paranoid, then why couldn't they just check the JS file/bundle with a local copy that is verified?

Well for one, the code is minified. That makes it a lot harder to inspect, so therefore it's substantially harder to make sure that the code isn't doing something malicious.

Plus then of course, should the JS file served from Proton's servers be updated, you'd need to diff the changes (which, in the context of minified code, is not easy) to ensure nothing dodgy is added.
Not really, they’re just speaking matrix natively. In theory this will help Beeper, since they won’t have to maintain a Rocket.chat bridge. In practice, I’ve tried to sign up to Beeper multiple times, but they never get back to me.

This is like some advice I figured out from experience about software courses.

Don’t do the course until you have tried doing the thing without the course first and hit the pain points.

Then, when attending the course your brain is in a different mode. You are filling the gaps rather than laying the foundations. And you get much better value out of it.

(This is for in person courses where you can ask questions - so the value you get out of it might be how good your questions are)
The whole article is about how stable family is generally what gives you economic a social benefits.

But the data tells quite a different story. Poverty, even extreme poverty, is surmountable. What is nearly impossible to overcome is the instability—the psychological havoc—created by broken homes. Especially for boys. Research in psychology and economics shows that childhood instability has much a stronger effect than parental socioeconomic status for a variety of important outcomes, including education.
Scrum Elon Doge to the moon!
I agree, one can definitely go on a long rant about this. The common person has little input into the election process, it is the corporations and the powerful that have far more input into the laws. I think a lot of the hot button issues, like abortion, are probably smoke screens to distract the common people from noticing what is happening behind the scenes. Politics are so polarized, that people vote with their party and rarely cross the line.
I didn’t mean an extended break. I meant a break like a long weekend where you try not to think about it. Bra does like that at help clear your mind if possible.

The biggest things is stop feeling like a failure. That causes a negative feedback loop that will continue a pattern of bad decisions making. Forgive yourself and Clear your head.
One customer has me on retainer for 20h/month, I meet with them whenever needed, sometimes hop to their offices just because I'm in the area and working on their stuff with the team around is more fun, when I actually write code it's in long nighttime binges (not recommended, but maximizes fun for me) but a lot of my work there is coordination, design, evangelism.

Other than that, I like to take any 2 day or less project that can afford me, because getting to know new industries is awesome.

I'm not saying it can't work, in fact up to 802.11n apparently works perfectly fine with the right hardware, but it's 2022 and 802.11ac is now "the past" with 802.11ax/WiFi6 as the current standard. As far as I'm aware none of the BSDs have any support for 802.11ax.

If you want to build a BSD box that can also do wireless and don't really care about performance there's nothing wrong with that, but if your goal is something that functionally compares to retail hardware you're going to want to stick to Linux.

As for #1, estimates are usually wrong, because people are often extremely optimistic. And requirements are often incredibly vague. To expect to meet 100% of your "sprint goals" is unreasonable. It's not cynicism, it's being realistic.

So I can't speak for Rocket.Chat, but I can say the hairiest stuff we deal with for Sandstorm.io is MongoDB-related at this point. It'd be really nice to use a different database at this point I think.

(I think nearly every database should probably be SQLite.)
Probably, they change it all the time.
A few minutes is more than enough under normal conditions. Modern electronics all have bleed resistors that drain any dangerous capacitors when the device is off. In microwave capacitors the bleed resistor is built into the metal can of the capacitor itself. You should always assume capacitors are charged unless proven otherwise. Just grab a screwdriver with an insulated handle and short out the capacitor before assuming it's safe.
Not everyone has the same threat model and goals.
> But it does not change that the autonomous machine does not understand the complex world it is driving in in the slightest

It only needs to understand when to ask for help:

the driverless car had correctly yielded to the oncoming fire truck in the opposing lane and contacted the company’s remote assistance workers, who are able to operate vehicles in trouble from afar. According to Cruise, which collects camera and sensor data from its testing vehicles, the fire truck was able to move forward approximately 25 seconds after it first encountered the autonomous vehicle

I don’t understand why people think that driverless cars need to deal with every one in a million scenario, it makes no sense.
That graph of oil output is terrifying. Instead, it is greeted with optimism. Yikes!

What is, oil, anyways?

In essence, it is solar energy generated (via plant life) over millions and millions of years. Of course cashing in on that stored energy can cause massive "economic output." It's not just human "ingenuity," though. It really is the incredible amount of sunlight converted, over mind-boggling numbers of years, that made it possible. And we're burning right through it, consequences be damned. We'll figure it out, right, because we figured out how to burn oil! Right!? #@$#@$)(

You seem to have a real issue with Americans in general. It'd be just as wrong to say that all New Zealanders are mocked because of their accent, and they should try not to sound so silly. Do some people in other countries have beef with Americans? Sure, and I've run into plenty in Europe. But I've far and away run into more folks that simply don't care and are friendly, or are keen to talk about the U.S. Might be worth taking a hard look at your prejudice.

I have to admit a certain personal bias coming into this, but honestly it's not hard to see how so much of this conversation is being driven by particular hosting companies and their pet frameworks trying to capture marketshare.

IMHO:

Most web projects don't need to be run "right on the edge".

Most web projects don't need to contort themselves to fit into the category of "serverless functions" and all the limitations therein (and the edge compute platforms are even more constrained!).

Many articles, like this one, completely gloss over the wonderful category that is "managed platforms which still give you real VMs". Take Render for example. (And platforms like Heroku before that.) I certainly don't need to deal with the headaches of upgrading OS versions or applying security updates or doing a ton of manual setup any time I need to scale to more servers. Render does that all for me automatically, or at the click of a button. Yet at the end of the day, I'm just writing regular server code to deploy onto "regular" Unix-y environments which are fairly similar to what I develop on at home. Pretty awesome stuff. Do I care that it's not all running "on the edge"? Nope.

So while it's "cool" that we have things like edge compute as an option, I think the whiz-bang-ness of it all is being wildly oversold. Industry-wide, I want to see managed VM platforms like Render (and even lower-level platforms like, say, Fly) take the lead in people's minds rather than edge compute which is far more limited and—most damning—JavaScript-centric.
It seems like there is an implicit assumption in both article and comments that interstellar travel necessarily involve living things. If a civilization is willing to put possibly millions of years into waiting and preparing for a wandering planetoid, why not launch robotic ships with the equivalent of frozen embrios onboard? The timescales involved are pesumably much longer than the life of an individual anyway, so the end result should be no different.
Beautiful. Would love to see this ported to an engine.

Maybe? Just as many people are probably staying in or moving to SF because they remote work to a job in the valley (eg San Jose) and not commute that much. They aren’t so price sensitive and value being in the big city. Until SF is undesirable, demand will keep, rents will remain high, and people are going to be priced out.

I like this approach.

Instead of focusing on a number, focus instead on the exit lifestyle that I can afford at any given time - starting with what I can afford right now.

Then draw inspiration from growing my affordability criteria, and apply this inspiration in my daily pursuit of unlocking an increasingly improved lifestyle.

This is a numeric pun[0] based on the readings:
