The big difference is that you aren't involved with peoples' finances. There is a whole other level beyond the crazy you attract in services and retail.
Fair enough. Clearly our worldviews don't align at all.
I think it's time to start separating what is a software developer.

Is a software developer someone willing to learn new languages and uses software to solve problems? Or is a software developer someone who knows latest.js and writes front end code or someone who writes C code to makes the LEDs on the machine blink.

There are two opposing hiring methods:
* hire for positional skills
* hire people not positions.

At a smaller scale, maybe you need to to just be a flexible person who can do anything. But how many start ups are going to hire a 35 year old C programmer to do js front end, or type coffee script? Yes that's 35 year old may have learned a lot of lessons along the way, but at their stage in life they're also going to likely cost you more and in all likelihood have more responsibilities outside of work.

Myself, I'm a generalist. I have programmed all levels of the stack. Consequently though, I can't claim deep mastery of many specific areas that a lot of "skill" positions require. On the hire "people" not positions, perhaps I can fulfill those roles but in doing so, as I become more senior I leave a lot of my skills sitting in the toolbelt to do a narrow software task (at a mega corp) and my lifestyle isn't well suited for the grind of startups (many many hours). Sometimes feels a bit of a catch-22
> For the record, most of the people against "toxic masculinity" would classify the standing under the window of the girl that rejected you to be stalking, and an extension of that toxic behavior.

Yes, but that is not my point. What I am trying to say that when those young men face hardships, instead of internalizing their response or directing it towards the object of their desire, they somehow decide that the solution to their problem is murdering a bunch of elementary school children. They see themselves as the wronged party against the world, and the way to rectify that injustice is to commit an act of violence against someone who has nothing to do with their troubles.
> I, as a citizen of the US dependent on others growing this food on behalf of me, am fine with reduced yields and higher meat prices, to put more pressure on Russia.

You are missing a critical piece of information here: what is your yearly income and what is your family size?
People need to stand up to the corruption and wealth inequality, or this isn't just some far off concern, it will happen. These big companies are quite happily enjoying the same scenario internationally where workers live at their factories. Don't for a second think they won't do it here.
Atomoxetine also has side effects. Problems with erection for instance. Should one take viagra or likes on top to fix tgat?
> Perception is part of the definition you provided.

I was providing an answer to your question. The location of perception isn't relevant to the definition of the word "see". This conversation was about the word "see" applying to the eyes.
It has the appearance of companies trying to cause a recession instead of waiting for one to occur. Coinbase admits it can't predict the future but are being precautionary in case there is a recession? If their plan is to take a worst case view then why not just cash out the whole company and shut it down on the precautionary principle? If this is an attempt to put a scare into workers to keep wages low it may backfire since worker shortages seem to be large and other companies may easily absorb a lot of workers, making it hard to get workers back later (and it takes time to train new ones). It could encourage people to leave on their own if they start hearing of the better jobs others are getting after being forced to leave, and it shows zero commitment to workers (so workers should reciprocate). It might be necessary to actually destroy many companies before this fear tactic can have some generic effect. People who died in the pandemic, got long covid, retired, or felt abused are probably not coming back (though hopefully long covid proves not to be forever.) Lay off workers during a worker shortage and you had better count on not being able to get them back easily.
It also blocks network requests made by third-party sites to FB. So unless you're already running ETP with the content blocker on (strict mode, private browsing mode) or another ad blocker kind of addon that also blocks FB strictly, then that's an additional measure.
Qanon, Crypto, and JFK rising from the dead
Start with the platform one is already using for data munging/transformation. I think R with its ggplot2 library is very good. Python's Matplotlib is also not bad. ObservableHq is also good when the data is closer to visual representation. Overall, I find the data transformation technique does the 80% of the work when it comes to data visualization.
The only fix for the Youtube comments system is for parent comments also no longer to appear.
Novel statistical techniques is a different concern to practical attacks. (And I appreciate the relativity in what is meant by 'practical' -- nation state resources are in a distinct category of capability)

But I would like to see some statistical expectations on 'how long you'd have to wait on an average open network for each key bit to reach 95% confidence'.
Sounds like a no true Scotsman argument.
I think you're exaggerating a lot here. Is this some dystopian short story?
> That only started in the last two decades

Plenty happened in the four decades before that. Look up Stonewall, for example.

> it's still a far cry away from being properly established

That doesn't mean nothing happened. People can get married, and most of the country supports that!
How does a medical diagnosis result in higher mortgage costs? Is health privacy data not protected in Sweden?
I hate Amazon as much as the next guy but IME international Amazon and US Amazon are completely different things and aren't really comparable, they just have a similar GUI. US Amazon has nearly any consumer product you'll buy (from most food up to really expensive stuff like small boats and sheds) and almost all of it shows up in 1-2 days with minimal shipping cost.

I know people in Canada and it's nothing like that. What you can find is crazy expensive and it it takes weeks to ship.
> Is a software developer someone willing to learn new languages and uses software to solve problems? Or is a software developer someone who knows latest.js and writes front end code or someone who writes C code to makes the LEDs on the machine blink.

Yes. A software developer is someone who develops software.
GNOME also has search but it only appears when you start typing
Yes, Manufacturing Consent is a good one.

The media & their masters tells us who to support. And Ukraine vs Russia is profitable.
If they don't have a legitimate claim to asylum, they can be sent back.

The problem is, the vast majority do, and since that right stems from fundamental human rights, you can't simply remove it. That, and the better angels of european conscience remember that it was our grandparents, and the governments they elected, who turned away the jewish refugees seeking asylum from the Nazis.

Sadly, since the apple never falls all that far from the tree, there is always a lot of support for making it practically impossible for refugees to claim the protections that are enshrined in the core principle of the EU. So, that's why people are attempting dangerous sea crossings.
it'd depend on WHERE I was going to run because the biggest factor at this point is network transport costs IMO. In the US, GCP has an advantage there because they charge the same for cross-region networking as they do cross availability zone networking, where AWS and Azure charge twice as much for cross region network. But if you're elsewhere, the prices are either flatter or more advantaged to one cloud provider or the other.
You can tune the normal on demand governor with a high hysteresis to keep the frequency up for a long time. On demand governor is already trigger happy enough to jump to maximum frequency with a slight increase in load, so one needs to add more delay in calming down step.

A random hysteresis is bad from a system responsiveness aspect, because frequency scaling is not free (in terms of time) when observed from the CPU perspective.
Show HN: Search Engine with On-Disk Payload Storage Reduces RAM Usage
In new version of Qdrant vector search engine - v0.8.0, on-disk storage allows to store large payload with less RAM usage. Distributed deployment, on-flight payload indexing, filtering by similarity score are among improvements.
I was responding in good faith to your response "Good question, I struggle to word it properly, any help is appreciated." You answered masklinn's with an implementation of your tool that `cut` would also do. That is what I was highlighting. I was not trying to belittle your utility, I have even installed it. But I also don't communicate perfectly so we'll call it evens?
iirc there's a largely genetic component to it, so one could simply proactively take it if they carry the genes. But the side effects can be unfortunate (depression, libido) . Seems like topical is better than oral.

Maybe they just measure testosterone levels and avoid the awkward conversation (and potentially depressing conclusion) of determining how fully developed you are from your time in the womb. Is there even much they can do about it other than TRT anyways?
A lot of wealth is parked in shares of companies. I'm not sure to what extent that is actually productive...?

"There are not multiple queues with work-stealing which is I think a minimum for a production level version of something like this."

100% agree. I also agree that would be a minimum requirement to call it "high-performance".
I'm not assuming Apple demanded it, I'm just wondering aloud why Apple conceded.

This deal is 8x the 2022 MLS TV deal annually, and the current deal doesn't have anything like this. It seems insane to me to imagine MLS telling Apple "8x our current deal and you have to give it to our biggest fans for free."

Who knows, maybe that's what happened, though.
furthermore if many westerners woke up they would realize that many people envy them like we envy billionaires.

The average joe in america and many other places has more money in a month than many have a year, the average american or european has access to luxuries other people dream off.

We are rich by proxy of simply living in the states or in europe. Furthermore we also have more opportunities and the ability to become a millionaire too.

We are envied by many places worldwide, we need to stop being angry at what others have and be better.

I hate the anti-rich people talk because we could do far more productive things.

besides, to many people we are included in that rich category we talk own about.
Ask HN: What assembler abstractions are better than C?
I once hear C described as an “assembly language abstraction”.

Along the years, the computing industry came up with many elegant languages but among them, what other attempts to “abstracting assembler” are out there?
5 of my last 7 items ordered from Amazon where either fake or defective.

I don’t care how easy Amazon’s returns are, it’s not worth the hassle of not having the item let alone doing anything above and beyond that.
True. Lobotomies used to be common practice as well. Even a surgery performed recently, UPPP, for treating sleep apnea is "no longer recommended"... It was only five or ten years ago where they would perform this incredibly invasive surgery, but enough research shows they're not that effective.
It's fucking scary, that this was recognized in 1987. In the 80s and even in the 90s most places did complex operations on newborns without any kind of painkillers -- imagine a heart surgery without painkillers. Not to mention "simple" stuff like circumcision.

Also by this time they knew this about animals too. I think people will look at us as barbarians that we ate them when we knew that they feel pain, can sense the world similar to us, and it would be just a minor inconvenience to eat something else.

Agreed about the dream job, that's pretty much what i explicitly answer every time i am asked about my preferences in terms of stack/tech to recruiters and engineers i interviewed with. I lucked-in into such a situation at least once, and I can confirm that I still enjoy it.

I can definitely see why some people might hate that situation, because it feels like nothing is working and you dont know anything at first. But if you aren't demoralized by that, and instead find joy in learning/figuring out all those new things on a regular basis, it all feels extremely rewarding. Like, why would I dislike being paid to essentially learn a bunch of new stuff regularly and solve actual real world impact problems using that new knowledge.
There are no "cryptographic operations" on the hardware level. It's just normal math, therefore cryptographic code would have to give hints to the processor to enable such countermeasures. Such a facility does not seem to exist yet, and this is why this vulnerability is considered to be unfixable. In comparison, there were workarounds for Spectre because compilers can emit code where the processor cannot apply the dangerous optimizations.

There are special CPU instructions to help speed up cryptographic algorithms, but applying countermeasures to these is not always crucial. They only matter if an attacker could otherwise create a side-channel. This applies in TLS, but not, e.g., when verifying checksums of downloaded software.
I think that you're missing the linking element of software units. It can be very intimidating, particularly from an outside view.

I have been writing C for years and I can tell you in a second if you are accidentally dereffing the stack or not doing a bounds check. Yet, I still barely know my way around CMake! It's daunting, and I haven't worked on any enterprise scale C projects, hence I have no reason to learn how to properly separate, and later integrate, my software components.
It is not "Akin to firing", it IS an action following firing or laying off.

>>You're either employee, paid a salary and with access, or not an employee with your severance package and no access.

The latter. It's the latter. We've all been discussing the latter (or at least that's my impression, as that's what the original article is about, and certainly what my post was about :).
True, but my argument is that this is the wrong metric to be regulated.

I don't care that there are people richer than me, I care that there are people with too much power on their hands.
Having worked there, I disagree.

Even if it's only to learn what it's like to work at a big place like that, it is highly instructive. Let alone the number of connections you can make that will pay dividends down the line.

They also do a lot of research, which remained a mainstay of the company years ago when I was there and I don't see that having changed. I think people underestimate how much that contributes to the perceived slowness and stuffiness of the company. When you have an entire research division working on the edge of physics, that means a lot of academics, and your company by necessity doesn't fit the mold of other tech companies. Indeed, most of the newcomers seem to have tried to copy this model.

IBM "only cares" about its investors. Patents are a means to an end there for sure but while I was there they claimed the patent portfolio that was primarily aimed at being defensive. Whether this is true or not I have no idea but I don't see a ton of IBM in the news as the plaintiff in patent lawsuits.

As a company they have a lot of captive clients and are deep into some areas other companies just can't get into reliably, so you sometimes get work opportunities you wouldn't elsewhere.

The red tape and bureaucracy is awful and the way they tighten the belt every time they underperform for a quarter left a bad taste in my mouth; definitely felt run more by accountants and business people than engineers.
I am rather new on Reddit. And I use the official app.

I'm not aware of any contactor design that has active cooling. It would be foolish to have that. It's possible they're doing something incorrect with the pre-charge circuitry, though which could cause overheating.
They probably weren't very experienced in the area of property development/management and decided to get some partners early on to help out.

I'm sure now their holdings are large enough to justify an entire property management division.
> If both of these stories are true, it makes me wonder why they're acquiring so much real estate.

Same reason as the Catholic Church. They aren't making more land any time in the foreseeable future.

Perhaps the most famous OSINT collective is Netherlands-based Bellingcat, which has used such techniques to investigate conflicts in Syria, Mexico, Iraq, and Ukraine. Wijeratne described Watchdog deferentially as “a junkyard version of Bellingcat.”

It seem to me that "these people" have a high opinion of the west as it stands.
In a taxonomy of government types, sure. Practically speaking, the difference between a pure democracy and a republic is enormous. The framers of the constitution were explicitly aware of this.

Can you explain how it is a strawman? Someone else accused it of being a strawman, but then could only claim that it is "contrived", which is not the same as a strawman.

So where's the strawman? Would the person in this scenario not be affected by a proposed wealth tax?

Also, I don't really get how it is "simping for billionaires" in the slightest. If I said that billionaires shouldn't be pulled from their mansions and lynched, am I simping for them too?
Gotcha. I first wondered this when seeing a similar stat in my old hometown. The reported homeless was way higher than I expected, and it similarly said the vast majority were only homeless for a few weeks.

I assume it's counting people that reach out for help in some way, and not just anyone temporarily without a permanent address.
I feel the same about the Trump presidency. He and his cohorts attempted to subvert the system, pen testers if you will, but the system responded and survived. In the end, we should thank Trump for helping to improve the American system of rule of law and governance.
This is true, but it isn't uncommon. Almost all countries have different levels of government - national, regional, subregional and municipal - all of which have some degree of autonomy with regards to executing their own fiscal policy, whereas monetary policy is always country-wide.
This is mostly a concern in airports, internet cafes and other places where attackers have easy access. Less so a data center.
> global food crisis with millions of dead people in the Third world (thanks to the sanctions, NOT the war per se)

Yeah, I keep hear Putin repeat it, always blaming the West. There are two logical fallacies here: first, the Russian fleet is blocking Ukrainian ports, not the other way round, and second, even if we ignored the situation on the Black Sea, it is Putin who started the war. I know Russian accept this logic and victim-blaming, but its' strange to see it on HN.

As for Russians living through bad times, I still wonder why do you have to accept all this crappy treatment. I know when you revolted in 1917 the result was a total mess but maybe it will be better this time. I really believe the Russian people deserve a better fate than what the next years are going to bring you.

It’s curious to see people questioning the stack choices of apps they haven’t built yet and problems they haven’t faced either.

They chose this stack, it works for them. They’ve put it through its paces in production.

No it’s not. Given the house prices in places like Palo Alto, Malibu, London, or Moscow, the house alone could easily be $50 million.
To pay the wealth tax you would need to reduce your ownership in the company to pay the tax until eventually you are just another minor shareholder with a leadership position (for now at least). And eventually is not long (under Warren's proposal it would be ~5 years before jeff bezos was no longer a controlling shareholder).

So the question really becomes, will the outcomes for the company be as good when no one leading it owns it or benefits directly from its success.

Sounds familiar!

I've had the same experience. Everyone wants you to "just look at their resume". Meanwhile, I've interviewed plenty of people with great resumes who can't solve a simple problem like reversing a string [1].

If you can point me to extensive open-source experience on projects that roughly approximate professional coding, then fine, I'd be happy to walk through your code with you instead of doing an algorithmic problem. The issue is that that's a minority of developers... most people don't have the time or desire to do extensive open-source work outside of work hours and I don't blame them for it [2]! But given that resumes are unreliable, I need to test you somehow.

[1] No, I don't ever have to reverse strings at work. But I do have to write efficient code. And if you can't conceptualize how to reverse a string then you probably won't stand a chance at more difficult algorithmic issues I often come across.

[2] I don't recall who it was, but I once heard a very well-regarded chef say that he's tired after work and so he doesn't like to cook much at home. I have zero problem with a developer doing the same with coding! Go home and work on a hobby, spend time with your family, or smoke pot and watch netflix... I care about what you are capable of at work, not what you do with your free time.

Like in C++, right? The compiler can decide whether it's a compile-time or run-time constant.
