My work assigned me a 16gb M1 air for similar work (swap Ruby with Python) and it's perfect for me. The battery life is amazing and development feels as fast as my gaming laptop. Keep in mind it can only do 1 external monitor.
I had a great track record that was out in the open, actually displaying vast knowledge of algorithms and data structures and exactly the stuff that's being asked in those interviews. FAANG interviewers did not care one bit about it. They actually consider it bias to look at a person's prior work.
The libs need to be manually maintained. Literally the first one I looked at, jQuery (https://git.synz.io/Synzvato/decentraleyes/-/tree/master/res...), and we can take a look over at NPM (https://www.npmjs.com/package/jquery) and see the latest version, 3.6.0, was released on 2021-03-02 and is still not shipped with Decentraleyes.

This add-on shaped the privacy-positive landscape for browsers upon it's release, but the features have be made obsolete with the latest browser isolation and that most entities have migrated to bundled JavaScript and off of CDNs.
It doesn’t ever sound like it goes into full WOT. Is this just for MPG or does it have the range to actually provide airflow and fuel for peak HP for that motor as well? Note: did not watch full video.
The idea of JSON output is brought up regularly.

Very interesting project that helps with that is https://wiki.freebsd.org/LibXo

Meanwhile, there is jc so that

jc df

returns JSON. See https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc

Hope this helps.
I know this is easier said than done because this is when you find out who genuinely cares for you and those who just want to use you, but you need to charge for your time.

Explain that you are being taken away from other work which pays, you may well get the Spanish Inquisition over your "customers" and income, you may get sob stories of how hard it is to bring up a family if they have kids, you will get bullied, you will get alot of emotional manipulation and guilt tripping put on you, but you need to become psychopathic over this and insist your time is money and this is what you are charging.

The emotional abuse is tough especially when it comes from family and friends but its what you have to do in order to be successful.

One of my ex customers, once said to me, "there are no friends in business" and its true, and he had worked dammed hard to build up his business.
The games industry seems to be massively overrated. People who think non-game software is devoid of interesting problems to solve have blinders on. We hear so many more problems about bad working conditions at game companies than any other type of software.

All this BS about siloing QA off is ridiculous. The celebrity worship of project managers/game designers/executives at game companies is way out of context. The whole idea of spending hundreds of millions of dollars to produce a game and then selling each copy for $50-60 and having to rely on millions of fickle gamers to buy it is hugely problematic and inferior to other types of businesses. The whole adjacency to the entertainment industry is problematic. The vast # of creatives/artists & non-technical employees doing "toil" is problematic.

I have been working 22 years.. if you asked me when I was 13 or 18 I would have said I wanted to build games. By the time I was 21 I already knew it was a bad industry. All my friends who did go into the games industry left within a few years. Everyone is vastly more happy now that they went to work on commercial/enterprise stuff.
Uhhhh... being able to conduct two wars on the other side of the planet for decades and then having people so ignorant of the costs and complexity that they think it's not clearly a miracle of state capacity? That's obscene state capacity.
Is there an SSO for api/rpc just like how github cli (gh) did their auth (gh auth login)? I've been looking for simple tutorials on how to get started with a bunch of openid libraries, and still not sure how to get it working with ory. I didn't proceed spelunking github code and end up settling on session management.
I've only used it for splicing together bike cam videos and then cutting them to 2 minutes before and after the incident for submitting to police (that's quite common for police forces in the UK when dealing with close-pass etc footage).

It was easy enough to figure out how to use it and I've got about zero knowledge of video editing. To be honest, I should really change to using ffmpeg instead as OpenShot can be a bit of a resource hog when exporting the video.

I have found the cross-platform support to be useful as I mainly use linux, but the more powerful PC that I've got is running windows (for running games).
Lilo is a French digital company which operates the search engine Lilo.org.

Lilo like Ecosia, the German search engine [0], finances social and environmental projects that are chosen by Internet users.

Lilo devotes half of its turnover to financing these projects, classified into 3 categories: helping those who need it most, acting for the environment and defending the animal cause.

The company declares neither to collect nor to resell the personal data of its users.

I found this comment a bit unfairly grayed out when I first saw it and want to add some nuance to this, as a person who left the Army due to physical disability caused by training rather than combat.

Training is the core of what we do, and extremely important no matter what. But, the nature of the training often doesn't match the real job. For instance, I remember at LDAC, a required ROTC summer course where you get evaluated and stack ranked prior to being given a job, there was a woman on a guaranteed nursing scholarship who was probably about 4'10", 80 pounds, and she tore both ACLs from all the marching with 90 pounds of gear. Forcing cadets that you know for certain are going into healthcare fields to train as infantry is no doubt harmful and unnecessary. At the time, women weren't even legally able to try becoming infantry, but still forced to do the training.

Personally, I served in a combat job, but even then, a lot of what we did felt more like hazing and dick measuring contests than skills-related. For instance, in a Cav unit, we were all required to do spur rides until passing, which involved activities like carrying telephone poles up and down hilly trails for 12 miles at 3 in the morning after not sleeping for 48 hours. I have no doubt doing stuff like that contributed to the spinal degeneration I eventually lost two years of my life to after leaving the services. Nonetheless, being a large, physical capable person who played and excelled at sports my entire life, I enjoyed that type of thing at the time. In retrospect, though, it sure looks wasteful and stupid. The repeated forced sleep deprivation is especially egregious, as it seems like the top contributor to all the accidents, and as far as I understood, training in a sleep deprived state doesn't actually improve your ability to deal with sleep deprivation in theater. At best, it helps to weed out and select who can and can't naturally deal with it, but it isn't really trainable.
> This is why nuclear power plants should be state-sponsored projects. States typically have loans at 0% rate, or even negative interests.

Not anymore with inflation at around 8% in many western countries. And even so, construction and operation still remain expensive. France's EDL is basically bankrupt if it were not for the state backstopping them. However you want to slice it, nuclear power is not economically viable, and looks even worse compared to the rapidly decreasing costs of renewable sources of energy.

So why waste more money on an obsolete technology rather than use it for solving the remaining issues with renewables like energy storage? Invest that money in battery technology and everything that comes with that. That approach will do a lot more good in the long run than trying to keep the nuclear industry on life support even though it has failed for half a century to deliver on its promises.
Yes, a MOP-based approach would give a more general system.
Was curious about ownership stake and it's much larger than I remember. So I stand corrected on that aspect. Looks like BCE and RCI basically co-own the leafs at 37.5% respectively [1]

At least with those professions you have one test you pass, and maybe you retake it once every few years to renew your credentials.

With Leetcode, you have to retake the test multiple times every few years when you change jobs for each company you apply to.

Leetcode would be a lot more tolerable if it was administered more like the bar exam or like medical exams. Whatever happened to DRY?
Being able to quickly come up with an efficient algorithm to a complex problem is not a "pointless brainteaser".
What nonsense. How many business owners in the US immigrated with basically zero and made > $1m? How many startup founders have come from disadvantaged backgrounds and exited/got acquired? How many first-gen college grads got into good schools and ended up firmly in the upper-middle class (US based, that is?). It's far easier to 1000x when you have little than when you have a good amount. Just look at the number of millionaires compared to billionaires.

I can’t imagine a job where doing nothing would be acceptable. If we’re going to use faulty analogies I’ll add one of my own. Imagine doctors deciding they won’t help an addict because they’ll just keep using.

The officers choosing to do nothing are guaranteeing a given outcome with inaction.
IQ does not tell determination/hard-working-attitude at all, in fact many with high IQ ended up being nobody, as high IQ makes learning relatively easier, most got used to that and just let the 'grit' go.

leetcode is the SAT for coding, not perfect, but at least it's close to fair play.
Nah, we call it an oligopoly or a cartel. In my city, we actually have this. There are 3 main real estate developers who own or built approximately 80% of all the land and construction in the city.

Housing prices are sky rocketing and if you want a new one built you practically HAVE to do it through them unless you’re in the upper 10% of wealth.

I call that an unfair advantage at the very least. Based on what they’re saying about Las Vegas, it sounds like a similar arrangement has developed in their zoning and development contracts for their suburbia.

Even if there are 1000 bidding players… that’s 1000 people out of the millions living in Las Vegas. Seems pretty unfair no matter how you spin it. There was a time people just bought land and built a house themselves. That time has largely passed.
I suspect you might be arguing semantics but in practice for certain types of applications performance will in all likelihood offer better performance. Scale and performance are linked when scaling up when you start to hit limits async can make it easier to get more out of your compute than otherwise which is a performance consideration. Calling his statement a myth ignores the context it was made in.
I like the idea, but have the same concerns which prevent me from using Grammarly. I understand the challenge of doing this locally. But I just can’t get myself to install something that siphons off essentially every keystroke I make.

On a more positive note: is there something that detects or warns against hostile tone to help write in a friendly and non-hostile way? :)
Having talked to a nuclear engineer about this: SMRs are being politically pushed because of their political and financing convenience, more than engineering reasons. Power output scales really well with reactor size, so it makes much more sense to build the one big expensive power plant than a multitude of smaller ones. SMRs do make sense for off-grid or on-site power, but not for grid electricity.
Outfitting people in poor-fitting gear and then having them do unnatural exercises asks for permanent injury; this is stuff the military seems to do a lot and a constant stream of partially disabled people come out.

I don't expect that number to ever go to 0, but I'd hope it could be smaller.

> You really think the military should forgo combat training?

This is not what anyone said. I'm in strong favor of more realistic training.

Of course, even this may be unnecessary for many. E.g., read the uncle comment's anecdote about ROTC.

> there was a woman on a guaranteed nursing scholarship who was probably about 4'10", 80 pounds, and she tore both ACLs from all the marching with 90 pounds of gear.
Dear ImGUI also has python bindings [1] which I've had great success with in tuning computer vision algorithms interactively. It's a slightly different use case than your project here since it doesn't use a browser and only works locally.

I mean, it was also released on April Fools' Day.
Navy nuclear vessels have (relative to the grid) little real power generation capability and cannot handle grid reactive loading at all. The grid appears as an infinite reactive load to shipboard electrical switching equipment.
I was hoping to increase my interaction with bots, so this is great thank you.
The energy is the federal government itself. It owns the tanks and the bombs should your state decide to withdraw 'by force'. Never happening. The only valid option right now is to Amend the constitution which requires 38/50 states to ratify it. That is 76% of states. (e.g. never happening). The union is kind of a done deal until or unless the federal government somehow fails.
Start mail those invoices for billable hours.
That’s the thing about the old way of interfacing with applications, it was different on every platform, limiting its usefulness in practice. REST APIs are universal.

I think it’s telling that you’re working on a startup to fix desktop app distribution problems, even though there are dozens of distribution methods for desktop apps. The fact that commercial installer software companies still operate is telling.

The distribution model of the web is precisely what is so amazing about it. It is already decentralized. It has zero distribution friction.

Sure, if you buy some SaaS app, that’s not really decentralized, but I can download a self-hosted app (e.g., nextcloud), install it on my server, and now I can interface with it and “run the application” from any system in the world instantly. It can also talk to other systems that aren’t even running on my server or in my country.

The web already solved distribution. More than solved it. That’s why everyone is using it.
As an interviewer, if your code is great, solves the problem concisely and is easy to understand, you don’t need refined English language skills. Respond honestly to my questions and I don’t care one but if the English isn’t perfect, you can say umm and mmaaa all you want.

I’ve given technical interviews to people in China who barely speak english, just understand a bit, and I can’t speak one word of Mandarin. But we could communicate through a live coderpad and it actually worked.

Flarum is actually extensible enough to do that too, we just set a different default.

There is no non-depressing future where demand for electricity doesn't go way up as fossil fuel is phased out. An uncertainty is a shit situation we should work to prevent, not have a contingency plan for.

This is where the Keynesian "socialization of investment" stuff comes in. Private markets get skiddish over change even when our economies are fully capable of dealing with the issues. Don't be held hostage to private capital playing "nose goes" when the solution is obvious.

Abundance really does mean everything is too cheap to meter on margin. There is no other definition. To get there we have to make people more risk tolerant, and the only way to do that is guaranteeing consumption.
Welcome to the club!

The fundamental problem of simplifying software is humans. Just consider date formats, time zones, and tax codes. Humans love to make complicated things.

My philosophy on this has been to take the complex human stuff and stick it in a black box. A professional feather in cap with this approach is called BladeRunner ( https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3477132.3483572 ) which radically simplified the distributed system aspect by putting all the gnarly glue and business logic in a V8 VM (JavaScript).

My next thing is a focus on board games where I have invented a programming language and have started to evolve a platform. It's called Adama ( https://www.adama-platform.com/ ), and I think it is pretty cool. The interesting thing is that the complexity of board games is exceptional.

I have a few clues to share. The first is that reactivity, which is found in excel, is a key to simplifying software as this makes the glue more automatic.

Another clue is figuring out bidirectional communication which relates to reactivity as a two-way street. However, this is primarily hard because we don't have great things off the shelf to deal with this beyond TCP. For more of a deep dive, check out https://www.adama-platform.com/2021/12/22/woe.html which talks about WebSocket.

My final clue is that you can't run away from state. So many people offload state because state is hard, and you have to contend with it. I'm building yet another database.

It's a different sort of dumb. Britain didn't get more from the EU than it paid in, it was one of the wealthier countries in the EU.
I don't think anyone is saying that. I think the problem is systemic and to fix the problem, focus needs to be put on why their is rampant piracy in this sector. Hence why someone posted the [Piracy-is-a-service-problem](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/Valves-Gabe-Newell-Says-Pir...) from Gabe Newell.

The internet is a vast ocean of interdependencies, its not like the tangible world, as such, it requires different strategies to combat. This is why the software gaming industry is flourishing and not declining because someone decided to work on the problem from the point of the service, and the rest followed suit.

Hacker News in 2022 is a strange place, it's hard to engage with people who already have their opinion of Apple decided before they've heard how they've messed up this time. The notch was particularly funny, watching everyone's incredulous reaction while people immediately went to damage control with the "but it's still 16:10!!!" addendum.

This goes to everyone: Give up. All of these companies suck, the only thing their money buys them is better marketing. It's not worth your time being their PR lackey for them.
Hmm on therapy - I most likely have ADD but I'm not 100% sure. I tend to not concentrate very well. I do know people have said I'm enthusiastic, loud, hyper, sometimes even on drugs (but I'm 100% not).

I'm happy my family and friends, and well HN family is supportive so thats nice :)
Diatomaceous earth works very well for the crawling insects. Not so much for the ones that fly, of course.

It's kind of a horrible way to go, for a bug, in that it's a mechanical insecticide and it's like us walking on broken glass. Ants will walk to the line, touch it, and then immediately turn around. I puff it around the perimeter of my house and it keeps any crawling insect at bay until it rains again. If you can puff it under baseboards it will stay dry in there for ages.

It's non-toxic, but you probably don't want to breathe in the dust. That applies to all fine particles, though.
App looked really cool until I read it has Tinder Engineering DNA. What a heap of trash app Tinder turned out to be over the past couple years, but maybe Greg will be good for a few early years like Tinder was until it turns into a gamified dark-pattern botany app.

Just imagine, we have to buy Greg Gold to access additional plants beyond grass or weeds, purchase water-boosts to unlock the next time we have to water plants (or they die). Maybe even have a hidden ELO system on our plant pics where the less healthy our plant condition looks the more we have to pay for Greg credits so it'll dish out the plant-care advice we rely on to prevent our entire garden from dying.
quick google suggests it has been done in emergencies.

Oh my I didn't expect all the comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much to the HN Family!!!!!!
As a person who fits your description above, I can attest that at least for me: it is 100% preparation.

For big presentations, I put in practice time equivalent to 10-20x the time of the talk. For a one hour presentation, I'll practice for 10 hours at least, if not substantially more.

For high-stakes conversations with Important People, I think to myself, in advance: what do I want to achieve from this conversation? What do I need to say or ask in order to achieve those things? This is true even if the conversation is "just a chat." The goal might be as simple as: build credibility and familiarity with Important Person. Pro tip: plan up front what you're going to ask/say if there's awkward silence. It happens even to the best conversationalists. Better to be prepared than to be caught flat footed.
I also think we need to look at why that is. Is it because of personal experience, unreasonable expectations, and/or people pushing the idea for their own goals
Ask HN: Are there any Fastmail clients that support sending with aliases?
I've been using Fastmail with wildcard aliases on a custom domain for over a year. In general, I love it, and I have few complaints. One area that I've run into trouble with though is accessing emails when I'm offline. This can be especially bad when I need to access tickets or other documents from my email in a place where I have no signal. Almost got stuck at the airport because I couldn't pull up a covid test that I'd saved to my email. Since the Fastmail app on iOS doesn't support offline emails, I'm looking into a third party client that does. There are so many clients out there, but one feature I'm having trouble finding is the ability to send emails from wildcard aliases. Are there any clients out there that support this?
What does secession even mean? People living in the state will still pay federal taxes (the true source of federal power). Declare all federal laws invalid? This is such a fantasy I don't even know why people discuss it. Ever since the Interstate commerce act and threading of federal funds into states it has become impossible to realistically secede even if you could logistically pull it off.
Thanks for chiming in; this is exactly the sort of stuff I'm referring to. I guess my comment did a poor job of making the point.
I think the article is just poorly titled. Almost all of these are unequivocally basic elements of HTTP. Maybe new web developers aren’t learning how HTTP works, but that’s no excuse to be surprised when they do learn about it.
