Draw with a light touch on the pencil. Addressing the paper with the side of the pencil point instead of the tip helps a lot - this stops you from making a trench in the paper with graphite at its bottom, and forces you to use a broad line without much detail for blocking things in. (This also helps to train you to draw with your wrist static, which is a good way to keep repetitive stress injuries from happening. It was one of the first things the old pros taught me when I started working in animation, because they had all seen careers cut short by injuries from bad form.)

As you add detail, shift to the tip of the pencil. Your hand will probably smudge the first lines into nothingness as you do this, it’s not a big worry. Grab a white plastic eraser or a kneaded eraser, and go at it.

If you decide to go from pencil to ink, you can put some thought into your choice of ink to select one that dries quickly. You can also wait a bit for the ink to dry before erasing. White paint/ink does exist but it’s real hard to find some that works well in a portable pen format.
I think every European country has a naturalisation process similar to the US. And the US clearly has no shortage of xenophobia, considering the support for the previous president there.

How much you will truly be accepted depends a lot on where you are. Some places, like New York or Amsterdam, are very cosmopolitan. Rural areas often a lot less so. Munich probably more than the Bavarian country side.
I accept this criticism. I misspoke slightly when I said fun. Entertaining is closer. A game should know what it wants to invoke in the player, and the entire game should be built around that.

In a game like Paper's Please, your moment to moment gameplay might not be fun, but the tedium is deliberate and a part of the experience.

Cutting down trees for a half an hour straight so that you can later be creative and decorate your house, much less so.

Building on the last paragraph, I keep my root PGP key on an encrypted USB drive. There's several files that are encrypted by the root key, but they're mostly like password manager recovery phrases as well as things like my birth certificate, social security number, and various government IDs I've used. There are two copies of this USB, one travels with me at all times, the other is securely stored and accessed twice a year to ensure it's still performing. Both USB keys have fuses that will blow if opened up. This makes it so that for the rest of my life I will remember one password.

Passwords can also be made more memorable. For instance, because a password manager remembers the rest of my passwords, I made this one what I call a "pattern password". On a US keyboard I could type it in seconds without looking, but it would be too complex to guess.
They didn't say they aren't interested in the idea, they just expressed skepticism.

My wife's Lenovo ultrabook (although an AMD one) has USB-C charging and we haven't noticed any problem for about 4 years now. Her phone phone is also USB-C. No visible problems there, too.

> after spending a week driving at 70 the difference in mileage was almost unnoticeable.

In dollars, the additional amount you pay to drive an ICE faster is considerable:

https://afdc.energy.gov/conserve/behavior_techniques.html#:~...).

"For light-duty vehicles, for example, every 5 mph you drive over 50 mph is like paying $0.18 more per gallon of gas (based on the price of gas at $2.63 per gallon)."

Even that is a simplification. Air resistance increases exponentially with speed, so the jump in resistance (reduction in efficiency) is much greater from 70-80 than from 50-60.

Also, gas is a lot more expensive now, so the additional $0.18/gal could easily be doubled or tripled at today's prices depending on where you live.

> It helps that I have a small, aerodynamic car that's geared high instead of a truck or blocky SUV.

According to consumer reports, even a very gas miserly Toyota Yaris loses 4mpg going from 65-75mph. It's probably double the efficiency loss if you go to 80mph. Can't cheat physics.

Disruptive technology cannot be anticipated. It's tautological.
"How to See, How to Draw" by Claudia Nice is a good book for learning to draw in a self-guided way. Doesn't take much money -- $20 at any art supply store can get you a decent drawing book and a decent set of pencils.
"Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Edwards is a good introduction to drawing. I think in particular it is a good explanation of how much of drawing is learning to look at the world, and exercises to improve your skills of looking at things. One of the big takeaways from this book and other drawing courses I have taken is that once you learn to draw what you see, nothing is particularly easier or harder to draw; in every case you are drawing what you see. The feeling of difficulty in drawing a particular object often comes from trying to parse it into visual symbols, then draw those symbols, rather than seeing the object as a pattern of light and reproducing that on the paper.
So how does one download the file? I assume the hash goes to some blockchain or smth so it can't be taken down?

There's still a ton of equipment out there, from industrial CNC machines, to musical gear, to embroidery machines, that were built with floppy drives as the main, if not only, way of interchanging data. Replacing perfectly functional gear like that because the exchange medium is a bit old just doesn't make financial or logical sense in a lot of cases.
Actually, no. (Well, everything on the Moon is risky, to some extent.) Placing it there protects it from the severe temperature swings between 120°C and -130°C you'd get in a day/night cycle.

(Or, put solar panels on various redundant high points; different bits of the poles get their 80% at different times. Run cables to the base.)

Ok, we don't want to another LHC as a physics experiment, but what about all the engineering coming out of such projects? From superconductors to data science, the LHS has done lots of new stuff. Whether the core science experiments succeeds or fails might be beside the point. There are other outcomes to such projects than pure science answers. One can argue that the ISS hasn't produced much science, but without that space station we probably wouldn't have seen nearly as much progress in lowering the costs of accessing space.

The link between CERN and the web is a great example of something that had nothing to do with the core science but was certainly worth more than the investment.
Ah yes, programmable money. The Do Kwon special.
I am not saying that this is the scenario but it's worth considering that the start of economic collapse from inflation tends to happen when companies have products to sell, but they can't afford to sell them for prices that people can afford to pay.

This does not end inflation, but tends to exasperate it. The company goes out of business and you now have fewer things in the economy, but the same amount of money. The result is further inflation.
I think there is an argument for semi-onshoring, aka not quite getting it to the US but reducing supply chain risk: Mexico for low cost labor with low value-added and near zero supply chain risk (if it's a maquiladora on the border), Colombia for low cost with high value added but slightly higher supply chain risk.
My one fear with a lisp-based framework would be code-injection stuff, unless janet has some way of freezing the source in production. You could do a lot of damage if you suddenly realize you can inject code via a request payload on some server running a lisp-based framework.

Really cool though!
Does lossless JPEG XL support 16-bit images?
Is an oligopoly that isn't a cartel problematic? If the lightbulb manufacturers jack up their prices, how long can that last until new incumbents come around and compete margins away?

You know what people hate more than oligopolies? High prices. Consolidation is not de facto problematic. Unless said consolidation leads to cartel-like behavior or entrenching regulations (which even Adam Smith recognized as a problem and a propensity of elites, I'm not arguing in favor of laissez-faire capitalism), margins will be cyclical in a free market and colluding oligopolies will eventually face new incumbents, because high margins attracts competition and investments.

There are exceptions like markets where cost is prohibitive for new participants, say telecom (hello Rogers-Bell-Telus), but I don't see how that applies to lightbulbs in the 21st century.

> You are complaining about a problem that nobody is facing.

Nobody is facing yet.

That is my point. It's a huge danger that people aren't appreciating enough. If we want to use the history of IE as a warning lesson lest we are dumb enough to repeat it, it's a warning on letting a single browser get too much marketshare. It's a warning on relying on "bleeding edge" features that aren't yet stable.

It feels like the problem is "all these other browsers are buggy and outdated", but that isn't the danger, that's the symptom of the danger. People said the same thing about Netscape/Pheonix/Firefox when IE was "winning" that those browsers were too slow and "preventing the web platform from being useful". That's the dangerous cycle here.

Maybe we'll be extremely lucky and the Chrome hegemony will never be the same problem that IE was. But blaming Safari for being "slow" in this scenario is putting the blame on the victim of the hegemony problem.
This isn't really supported by the data. Chinese inflation is comparable to US inflation and many other countries are experience worse inflation than the States.
Basically completely transparent from my point of view. I haven’t come across much open-source software that isn’t available for arm64 already, and this applies to both the host machine and working in a Linux VM. The largest offenders are various closed-source apps. I think the only thing that was actually a blocker was no Tensorflow Java JNI package for arm64 Mac.

The main friction is around container environments - we have to quite carefully ensure that containers used for development environments are multi-arch where we didn’t care before. This is straightforward for most environments but can be a pin to build in CI.
As a favor to yourself, me, and all other developers, you should not accept another interview round. 6 rounds, one unplanned, is embarrassing. Where does it end?

Personally, if they can't get their interviews right (they forgot to test for something?), I don't trust them to be a good employer.

Alternatively, if you really need the job, then yes you should participate in the interview.
Yes, especially because the notable part is that the liquid mixture is acting as a catalyst in the same way that the solid platinum was.

"It's kind of like calling sea water "room-temperature liquid sodium chloride"." It would be extremely impressive if you could make sodium chloride thousands of times more potent by dissolving it in water.
I will echo the other comments on no upfront pricing. Even though this could be potentially useful for my team, I won't "contact" you for pricing. I am sick of having to deal with salespeople who want to know a ton of info about your business so they can gouge every last cent out of you and then some.

I would gladly pay a little extra just to have clear pricing and sign up with a credit card. I have got an engineering org to run, don't have time to moonlight as a procurement officer.

Ask HN: Is SEO still a thing in 2022?
is it still possible to get significant organic traffic via SEO in 2022 for a new website, or is paid ads via google/facebook/… now essential to achieve any meaningful visibility?

for context - i have a hardware product in a niche industry and have noticed that over the past 20 years it has become really hard to get any visibility at all online unless you buy ads and/or pay so called influencers to do videos (i.e. the situation is now pay-to-play). i wonder how other founders are experiencing this and what they have done to deal with the situation.
"our portfolio of high-yielding stocks and mutual funds paid roughly $130,000 a year in dividends"

> We'll just have to wait for you?

Already answered in another place. Github is infinitely more complex to keep up than an internal company service. If Github goes down, can be for a few hours. Or worse, it fails in a way that affects only a handful of users and it takes them 11 days to respond your support ticket.

If an internal service fails, the sysadmin (not the "guy who was brought in to setup gitea") can run a troubleshoot playbook and in the worst case can have a whole new server from the latest backup running in some minutes. Even better, your internal monitoring service detects that the service went down and it can be reprovisioned automatically.

> Are you going to manage the provisioning of those users, the access control?

Sigh...

A company at this size would have already a SAML/LDAP/AD/SSO solution for their other services. You just integrate your service with it.

> most of our conversations revolve around risk rather than cost

I don't disagree. I just think that is just a way to say "I want to pay to buy some CYA".

I fully believe that someone managing a larger organization has other things to look at in terms of priority, but at the same time I think accepting this blindly leads to some complacency.

It's like software developers who are so used to their top-of-the-line workstations hooked to their 3-monitor and fiber internet who forgets that their users might be connecting to their website through a $50 phone on a 3G connection.

There are other ways to reduce your risks. Prioritizing open source is one of them, as that gives some sort of "built-in" protection against vendor lock-in. Giving more autonomy to your departments so they can independently choose their IT solutions to eliminate the chance of systemic risks. Adopting a solution that let's you both outsource or bring it in-house without expensive switching costs. And all of those could be applied no matter the size of the organization, yet it seems that everyone wants to think they are some Silicon Valley unicorn and feel justified in spending ~$1M/year in a password manager.
I work on the NT kernel and DirectX, I'll definitely take a look at this over the weekend.

Hey! Not really honestly. I’m in a bunch of dentist Facebook groups so maybe try that for specific interests?
No only it didn't ramp up, it is going down the tubes. Labor is more expensive than ever, and even at high cost there is no job pool to restart production. Parts of the US are suffering of massive draught. Interest rates are up. The stock market is down. All of this conspires to reduce industrial production, not the other way around.
Warning, I’m talking about stuff I know way too little about:

So I wonder whether being liquid makes this less helpful in a fuel cell. If I understand fuel cell chemistry enough, platinum would be on either side of the actual proton exchange membrane to form the anode and cathode. I see a liquid being problematic in that scenario as it would slosh around instead of making a circuit.

More helpful would be some sort of solid state of platinum (preferably something cheaper) on either side that conducted the electrons away to the poles.

But this definitely shows there’s interesting stuff to be found with these methods. Might just someday find that perfect fuel cell material.
So it's a cult where every member has a right to publicly express their opinion of its dear leader, and also the right to select a new leader every few years if they choose... But sure, of all the known political systems, it's Liberal Democracy that stand out as cult-like!? Not the one under the 20 year autocrat?

You're coming off as grasping for any straw you can now.

Putin is the subject of only 2 out of 7 paragraphs above, you confuse personality traits with political methods, when such methods are directly relevant to the state of political freedom in Tatarstan, your anecdotally chosen example which doesn't invalidate anything since it's just one province in a repressed country... Just weak.
It seem a bit disingenuous for Apple to shift blames to Microsoft.

Microsoft does not sell retail licenses of Windows for ARM devices and what Apple proposed isn't the way Microsoft currently does business for ARM hardware.

Yes, Microsoft could change how they do business to accommodate, but so too could Apple.

If Microsoft turn around and ask Apple to license Windows and provide the OS as an option to buyers, or ask Apple to supply Macbook hardware so Microsoft could sell Macbooks with Windows on it, Apple likely would have said no too.
the characteristics of evolved human brains make not setting boundaries suboptimal. it's the same reason you "pace yourself" when running a race. better hardware would enable a more aggressive approach but we have to work with what we've got.
This misses the induced demand effect of dramatically reducing the cost of the task. There are many things that only happen occasionally because they are annoying and slow. If you reduce the friction suddenly everyone does it 10x per day and the whole company benefits from faster feedback loops.
No, it's not a document format. JPEG XL won't replace TIFFs by and large because it has a different use case.

TIFFs are more in-line with a combination of FLAC/WAV from the audio world. It's meant for raw data used in production/manipulation.

As a professional you would work with TIFFs/RAW photo formats and then master it in JPEG XL for mass-consumption.
I also found that my initial understanding of the numeric types, based on a traditional imperative programming experience, was not sufficient.

However - I now think that I understand Haskell's way of looking at numeric types and have not had this kind of problem for quite a while.

I will certainly agree that Rust's error messages are 1000x better, if you're looking for something similar.

After writing this comment I looked at TFA and I'd say read it and maybe even watch the author's talk on "why learning Haskell is hard". In spite of what I expected, the article addresses the ways in which Dhall is a good starting point. (Although readers should be aware that "Dhall is not Turing complete", which for most programmers is a bad thing.)
Is Mexico really a zero supply chain risk?

I don't know much about the cartels or violence in Mexico, but that's the first thing I think of when you describe Mexico as low risk.
> The customer can say, for 60 days, "nah I didn't want that" and the money is taken away from you, no questions asked.

This is a gross misunderstanding on how chargebacks work and is factually incorrect.
US manufacturing has roughly doubled in inflation-adjusted dollar terms, while dropping by 30-something percent as a share of GDP (because GDP was rising much faster than that, over the same time span) since 1997.

Our factories are much more productive than they used to be, so may require fewer workers, and they've not been growing as fast as e.g. services and finance, but we still have plenty.
Nowhere did I say that economic freedom and political freedom are mutually exclusive. What I do protest however is the idea that only political freedom can be considered a legitimate form of freedom. I am making the case that:

- economic freedom is an equally valid form of freedom.

- societies can make up their own minds on what sort of freedoms they value most.

As for "erosion of freedom in the last 10 years in China": this is the mainstream western narrative, but the Chinese people don't view it that way. By and large, they view China as way better off now than 10 years ago. All the data and on the ground talks show this. What else is there it argue about?

It sounds like you are like me, born and raised in China but having lived in the west for a long time. If you live in the west and all you hear is liberal thought and western ideas on political freedom, then after a while it seems like that is all there is that matters.

But I am saying no: what we think here don't matter at all, what the people there think is all that matters. We here can consider China's government illegitimate for whatever reason, but that doesn't make them illegitimate. The Chinese people have way more right to consider what sort of government is legitimate, for whatever reason they want, even reasons that we don't agree with.
> The "Chinese vaccine don't work" talking point is a bad faith myth created by western mainstream media, which misrepresented this study by comparing single- or two-dose Sinovac with 3-dose Pfizer. This sort of misrepresentation is unfortunately common practice in mainstream western media.

This isn’t true, and if you look at table 2 in the paper you link it is obvious. With equal dosing, SinoVac is less effective than Pfizer in basically all categories.

SinoVac doesn’t start to have _any_ protection against mild/moderate disease until 3 doses, and even then, it’s significantly worse than Pfizer. It’s hard to know how that relates to disease transmission, but it’s probably fair to guess that less protection against mild/moderate disease means increased viral loads and faster disease spread.
I think the .COM file was one of the most elegant ways to go. Load the code into a segment at address 100, and start at that address. No parsing, just load and go. It would be interesting to see 32 and 64 bit equivalents.

In the present day, the best, and most creative, format I'm aware of is Actually Portable Executable[1], which is a Windows Portable Execution (PE) file with some added hacks to make a single executable work in a wide variety of places.

This is important. Consider the impact if we _collectively_ begin to hold companies to higher standards for interviews. Leetcode interviews prevail because we let them.
