Teach it.

I don't know why nobody else has suggested this.

If you want to learn, really learn something. Self educate, then teach it to someone else. You'll have to really educate yourself on the subject, but once you do.. Blog post, Twitter, Youtube, Linked-In, or whatever platform you want to use. You'll get corrections if you're wrong about something, and hopefully a load of questions that will make you dig further into the topic. The process of teaching it will reinforce it into your memory as you present it in the way you understand, and the feedback you get will also strengthen your understanding even further. You'll become much less likely to forget it over time.

But what if you're like me, and you don't have a social media presence or following to get any kind of feedback? Surely you have friends with similar interests, or know one of those people who likes soaking up knowledge like a sponge. You could use HN here to post something, or post to Reddit's "Today I Learned".

Inevitably, teaching something is the best way to learn more about that thing, and learning more about it is what will make it stick better.

No, they do not. Facebook has worked hard to destroy competition by buying up every significant messaging service, which should never have been permitted.

They are a monopoly that people are dependent on - it's not as if you can just choose not to use whatsapp. You cannot just move to another messaging app unless you get everyone on the planet to move with you.

I, for example, am required to use whatsapp every day for my job. If I was banned from whatsapp, I would be unable to do my job and be immediately fired.

Messaging is an essential utility now, and just like the other utilities in your house, it is not fair to cut people off from them.

Whatsapp doesn't have rights, they have responsibilities, and they should not be allowed to ban people for no reason.
Another advocate for Obsidian here. You can use it for base notes, embed other pieces of content as suitable to your domain, link and visualise these via a DAG with the in-built graph view and extend from there with extensions like https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview if you need. The tool can be as simple or complex as your project requires.
WordPress standard seems WAY too complicated as I'm not looking for any abilities to post anything.

Generally looking for stuff with LESS plugins/bells/whistles.

The intended audience is a sort of "never mind elevator pitches on napkins, we need elevator pitches the size of business cards" group so ... the fewer distracting elements on the landing page-type website, the better.

Thank you anyway for the suggestion, though.

Users cannot simply migrate to a competing service, the concept does not apply to messaging or social media, as you have to successfully convince everyone else on planet earth to move with you.
Scrum is pretty small. A lot of the threads on here are mentioning all sorts of Agile tools that Scrum does not require. Those extra things are optional if they help you but defined outside of Scrum (like planning poker). And if you dislike one of the few things in Scrum such as the end of sprint retrospective, you can take it out. So a lot of people think they’re doing Scrum when it’s really Scrum plus other stuff, and they think they hate Scrum. Experienced developers may not find it helps them all that much, but to me, the important other side of the coin is that when you try to teach the powers that be about Scrum, it helps educate them enough that they don’t mismanage the developers too much. To management, Scrum tries to say don’t come in and add requirements every other day during the sprint so the developers can at least have a few days of focus to actually ship some code. I’ve definitely seen overeager product owners come in and hover over developers more than is healthy for the project even AFTER being educated on how Scrum is being followed and they should pull back and give a little breathing room! If I had a nickel for every time management pulled people aside to tell them more stuff to build and then shortly after ask why something they asked for weeks ago isn’t done yet…………Scrum tries to give developers a way to communicate what needs to happen for them to ship! Maybe in some purely tech companies the folks in charge already get it and don’t get in the way so the developers can just have at it, but those are rare amidst all the types of businesses employing software developers.
I do, and I consider myself "highly-talented," as well as "extremely experienced" (over 30 years of software development -shipping- experience).

I'm also an excellent "team player." I worked for a Japanese corporation for almost 27 years, and you don't last long at Japanese companies, if you don't "team" well.

But I also don't shy from using advanced techniques; usually in language idioms, as opposed to ungrokkable algorithms. Most of my algorithms are fairly basic. I tend to go after difficult problems, though, and it's ... difficult ... to solve difficult problems, simply. Sometimes, I have beautiful, low-code solutions, sometimes, I have solutions that would send Rube Goldberg into fits.

They all work, though; and they ship.

I expect the folks that maintain my code (usually Yours Troolie) to be at a level similar to mine, and I won't "dumb down" my code, so someone fresh out of a JS bootcamp can understand it. I have an insane level of documentation, and supporting artifacts. If someone is able to understand the code, they will get a lot of help.

I'm militant about Quality. My code needs to work well, be performant, be flexible, and to have clear, unambiguous boundaries. A great deal of my work consists of reusable, standalone packages (I use them heavily, in my projects; Most of my dependencies are ones that I wrote). This affords an intense level of Quality. It's abstraction with teeth.

I'm used to owning the entire project lifecycle, from napkin sketch, to shrinkwrap. This gives me a great deal of insight into what is necessary for "the long game," without getting caught up in "bikeshedding."

My experience is that most companies that I've encountered, don't want people like me, working for them, so you get what you get.
Ask HN: As a New Grad, should I be worried?
There’s been much talk about the upcoming recession, layoffs, and resigning offers. On Friday, I got a recruiter called about a New Grad in Software Engineering at a well-known company. They said they’re sending me an offer letter next week (I interviewed a couple of months ago but got rejected due to space capacity). I got all the comp details and start date. I’ll be making more than my entire current salary in a year. I’m terrified of the company deciding not to extend it due to current economic conditions or getting the offer and rescinding it like Coinbase. Am I sweating for nothing? If not, should I stay at my current job, float out of the recession, and try job hunting? I’m a bit of a nervous mess, honestly.
That’s free in the way grass is “free” for beef cattle.
Tv warranties are only a year so that’s not much to worry about. I bought a top of the line Samsung many years ago. The warranty lasted only a year and some capacitors burned out it took lots of phone calls to get them to repair as it’s a design defect.

I’ve had to do it myself once as well.

I don’t care about voiding my warranty.

Determinants are usually introduced in Linear algebra out of the blue because you can't get to other important topics in Linear Algebra without them. Calculating them is a complex mess best left for a calculator. Sheldon teaches Linear Algebra as a theoretical math course, along the lines of learning Abstract Algebra. He approaches those other important topics from a different direction entirely, and determinants are just a trivial part of his book because of the different approach.
I think all fines should be expressed in days of revenue.

Permaban for no reason, and fail to respond to appeals? A fine of 1 day of revenue, per user, seems reasonable to me.

(Revenue would include revenue of all controlled foreign subsidiaries, tax haven shell companies, etc, of course)

Indeed! One has control on their DNS records only as long as they are allowed to have control on their DNS records. That control can be taken away as it once happened in my case when a domain name I was using was sinkholed due to a false positive. Full story here: https://susam.net/blog/sinkholed.html

Until the sinkhole incident happened, I was a firm believer of running my own email server with a domain name I have registered, so that it would not be possible for a large corporation to accidentally lock me out of my email. But now that I have seen how one's control over a domain name can be taken away suddenly and without warning, I am not so sure!

How do you know that she didn't violate terms of service? It's a mile long document, I doubt you have read it. I didn't read it either, but still, just because she's using it to keep in touch with friends & family doesn't mean she didn't violate ToS.
That is really a wonderful book which I perused when learning linear algebra, maybe a bit on the mathy side for OP expecially as he is asking a book for a "visual learner".
Fortunately linear algebra can be grasped intuitively in dimensions above 3 even if it can't be visualized, but maybe I'm biased as it is bread and butter for me now.
Agreed, I'm just saying we need to get a lot deeper into this trend before housing momentum swings the other direction. Personally I don't have conviction yet which way it is going to move. I don't think it will head up any further but I'm between flat and down loosely leaning towards flat.

But I have a feeling if it does start to swing, it will be violent towards the downside.

As someone who's looking to buy a house I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping for a violent swing down

I don't know about whatsapp but on tiktok you can easily do this successfully, without bots - they automatically permaban anyone who is reported just a handful of times.

All you have to do is make a few accounts or convince a few friends and you can remove any video or account on the app that you want.

Considering this thread, it looks like Whatsapp is the same way.

I think the onus should be on Tesla to prove that their testing and validation methodology is sufficient. Until and unless they have done so, Autopilot should be completely disabled.

I really don't get why the regulatory environment is so behind here. None of these driver assistance technologies (from any manufacturer, not just Tesla) should be by default legal to put in a car.

When it comes to engineering success you have to be very clever to be successful. I’m not sure how hard a truth this is for some people. Every time I hear of a learn-to-code boot camp I worry that we’re training bus drivers when we really need master stone masons.

The worst people to work with are the ones that don’t realize how wrong they are. If you end up with a group of them all reinforcing their mediocrity on a day to day basis then you are in a lot of trouble.

Some shops can tolerate this, especially if they are just screwing together business logic without having to really innovate in terms of pure software. Scrum probably works quite nicely for them. They ship their ISO compliant b2b software once every quarter with the dollars rolling in.

If you know Douglas Adams you’ll know the term B-ark. These are the B-ark software teams.
Anytime someone asks me why I’ve “jumped around so many places” or held so many jobs I simply reply back that “Life for me is very different from you. I have no house to pay for, I have no family to care for, I have no ties to where I am. I follow my passions but never leave a project unfinished and undocumented.”

I’m honest about what I did during any lengthy leave of work.

I’ve experienced no company loyalty so I give none. It’s a contract, an agreement, nothing more. I always will emphasize my talents and skills and explain how that fits into the role I’m seeking. 90% of the time this works but occasionally there’s someone who thinks it’s career suicide to leave a job before 10 years.

They are mostly boomers.
I agree with you. I run a days science department in a corporation and when I'm doing code review for a junior, I can tell what was original and what came from somewhere else. Fortunately, in the workplace context that just means trying to get people to paste the SO URL as a comment above the appropriate code block.
As a counterpoint, I got Covid Original Flavour(tm) and it gave me a fever of 103 for a little more than 2 weeks and took me way more than a year to fully recover. And, I know several folks who are younger than me that are now dead--and every version of Covid is represented in that cohort (mostly anti-vaxxers after Delta--take that as you will).

Why not? Sure it's all complicated enough, but conceptually measuring distance with a laser is simple.

Do that many, many times and you have a good enough picture of the surrounding area in a machine-readable 3d format, so you have a good starting point.

How is that not simpler than what Tesla is doing?
Fair weather limited access highways is one of many datasets available. However, Autopilot operates in wet and rainy conditions so that’s hardly an accurate assessment. Weather bad enough to prevent autopilot is a contributing factor ~5% of accidents.

“On average, there are over 5,891,000 vehicle crashes each year. Approximately 21% of these crashes - nearly 1,235,000 - are weather-related” “ 70% on wet pavement and 46% during rainfall. A much smaller percentage of weather-related crashes occur during winter conditions: 18% during snow or sleet, 13% occur on icy pavement and 16% of weather-related crashes take place on snowy or slushy pavement. Only 3% happen in the presence of fog.”

I'm a trained physicist (undergrad) in biology (phd). I've always wanted to give a retort "could a physicist understand a microprocessor?". the answer is no, no they couldn't, unless they were trained in computer science. The abstraction of 'state evolving in time according to analytical equation' really breaks down when looking at computational systems, such as a microprocessor, as well as a biological cell.
Usually living in the tropics or at least near a coast, this website is invaluable to me to have an idea of what the weather is looking like. Local coverage is kind of lackluster in comparasion.

Yep! Plugins themselves are ephemeral - all of their runtime state is provided by the age client - but when the plugin binary is invoked by the age client, it can then connect to (or start) the long-lived agent process and act as a proxy to it.

For YubiKey support specifically, my age-plugin-yubikey plugin handles encryption and ephemeral decryption (meaning that it connects to the YubiKey live, and thus has to treat e.g. "Once" PIN policies as "Always"). Once something like yubikey-agent has been extended to provide an age plugin, you could then take an age-plugin-yubikey identity and convert it into an agent plugin identity (so that the age client knows to invoke the agent's plugin for decryption rather than age-plugin-yubikey).

One thing I don't quite understand is that many cars have autopilot-like software. Unlike tesla's which constantly requires putting pressure on the wheel to show you're there and paying attention, Ford's lets you drive indefinitely without any hands on the wheel. Wouldn't this same investigation be put onto other manufactures as a giant audit? Hitting emergency vehicles is obviously bad but 1) it happens in cars without autopilot and 2) if you're hitting one you're clearly no paying attention. it's not like they just appear out of no where

Why did you feel the need to leave this comment? How could 2.5Gbps ever be construed as planned obsolescence? 10Gbps ethernet stayed too expensive for too long, so everyone was stuck on 1Gbps for like a decade. Eventually, manufacturers decided 2.5Gbps (and 5Gbps) would be more cost effective options for the time being, and would allow increases in network performance beyond 1Gbps.

It's a completely positive outcome for end users, since they now have more options, and pretty much all 10Gbps ethernet ports are compatible with "multi-gig" 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps connections as well.

10Gbps is effectively the end of the line for copper anyways... 10Gbps is already really hot and power hungry, and AFAIK, datacenters never really bothered to deploy any copper faster than that. Fiber is the present reality in datacenters. What I really want is for SFP+/QSFP+/QSFP28 to make their way into home networks and consumer devices.

Why? First of all don't drive into anything that moves, period. Secondly, if you can avoid bumping into anything at all, do that.
No, some companies are doing layoffs due to mismanagement resulting in over-extended workforces. Many companies are still hiring and will keep hiring. If it's a well-known company, it likely has multiple sources of revenue versus companies with one - Coinbase and Bolt.

In those cases you mentioned the kernel has spawned a process loaded from normal ELF executable from filesystem, just like you could do with exec(). But in this bpfilter_umh case the executable is not coming from the filesystem but instead is embedded in the kernel itself. That seems to be quite new invention.

I started with canvas, but a big part of the project was making sure my artist brother would be able to easily position elements, create animations, adjust the layers, and build the scenes. The Unity editor is great for stuff like that. It was also really easy to extend the Unity editor with buttons to automate annoying tasks.

I was also having some annoying issues with scaling everything based on device screen size, and choppy performance, problems I would have fixed eventually, but nice that Unity behaved correctly right off the bat.

If I had another year, I probably would have built a unity scene file parser (or maybe an editor extension) to convert the object positions and script parameters so I could take advantage of the Unity editor while still cutting out a lot of the overhead, definitely a step I would have taken if I couldn't get the WebGL player to behave as well as I did.
