I keep it in a 4oz generic plastic bottle and I use it as a general detergent. A little goes a long way, it's really effective for general cleaning. If used for a stain, I just pour directly on as needed.
Sadly, that assumes the TV will behave and not connect to open networks, or use companies' mesh networks (like Amazon Sidewalk), and that they'll never include their own SIM cards.

Granted, none of this has happened yet... but when it happens, I'll start busting open my devices to disconnect any and all antennas.

To put it another way, it may be selecting for the candidate who wants exactly this job and none other.

Loyalty becomes the main criterion.

I have mixed feelings about this, but I can see why employers might want this.
Small companies usually implode if someone in a key position goes rouge. If that happens to 1 out of every 100 small companies annually, that's still arguably worse than 1000 engineers being slightly inconvenienced for a few minutes daily.
Ask HN: How do you stop your creations from being misused?
I created a website and people died because of it. A butterfly flapped its wings and there was a tornado the other side of the world.

How do you stop your creations from being misused/abused? Those of you intentionally designing products to cause harm, how do you reconcile that ethically?

I know 'heavy moderation' is an answer but even with say Facebook or Twitch, it's not enough and their services are abused on a daily basis. Live streaming torture and murder etc.

I don't want to leave tech, but I also can't continue knowing I'm (indirectly) responsible for those deaths. And I am getting therapy. TYIA.
Once the BOE start regulating Stablecoins, there will be nothing to regulate.
Yeah it’s the prisoner’s dilemma… everyone is worried that if they don’t take what they can get, they’ll be left with nothing while everyone else prospers off of their loss
Thanks, I didn’t realise he was a writer. That does provide some context.
An Instagram customer being asked to take a selfie seems like a very effective and non-intrusive method in this specific context.

PIA continues to prove in court over and over again that they do not keep traffic logs. The extreme fear mongering over Kape has never been backed up by any evidence other than "they used to do bad things under their previous management." As I always say in these threads, all the people who shill Mullvad over everything probably just use them for web-browsing or adjacent activities, and not anything that requires a specialty product like p2p or bypassing national firewalls.
Most financially savvy people would say that public company equity is almost like cash. If you are saving money for retirement, you are going to put most of your cash in the stock market, and AAPL and the stock market are highly correlated. The vesting schedule essentially forces you to save that cash for a later date (in a volatile but usually highly accretive investment vehicle). You don't have the same kinds of situations as you get with a startup where your company folds but the rest of the market is unaffected.
I always wondered why one of the losses of the BIOS->UEFI transition was the classic, relatively bold and attractive, console fonts. Most of the boards I've used in the UEFI era (Biostar, MSI, and Gigabyte, so it's not a single-vendor's taste) have gone to an ugly spindly font that looks a close brother to the X11 "fixed' font that gets loaded when no other font exists.

I'd love to be able to snap one of these into my boot menu.
What full faith? US dollar is crashing, and there doesn't seem to be a solution in sight.
I usually get offers on the spot within the hour of "just talking shop" with the manager and the most senor technical person on the team. Why would I waste a day with your homework and class presentation only to be offered half of what I make now? You are filtering for desperate bottom feeders, and that is all you're gonna get.
Well it's more like an X terminal or a thin client, right? So maybe 1980s-2000s.
I think the GP is saying "Why don't you put your salary band into the job ad", rather than "why didn't you link the job ad itself here".

Which is 100% valid! Beyond being mandatory in more and more jurisdictions, having the salary range be posted has made me more likely to apply. Extremely confidence inspiring when it actually is market rate.

I know recruiters/C suite people think they can jedi mind trick people into taking super low offers that way, but really almost all really good candidates will be able to get jobs elsewhere anyways so you're just wasting a bunch of people's time cuz they're not going to take the offer.
> Mostly all this post has is some type checker bugs that have already been fixed (of course the article will never be updated now that they're fixed)

Alex, all of these are still open right not and are not fixed:

- "No mut m := x mutability check" https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/14803

- "closure capture names are not checked for uniqueness with the closure parameter names" https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/14787

- "segfault in auto string method generated for []&int{len:1} (does not check for 0 pointers)" https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/14786

> using -prod for measuring compiler speed

My article does not do that. I included all the steps used and the 1,000,000 line tests use tcc and not -prod.

> And nonsense like setting array length on creation is a terrible idea. Go with its `make([]int, 5)` must be a terrible scam language as well.

V allows the user to override length field which is used in bounds-checking with no validation. That's the problem.

Please stop lying and just be honest about the state of V.

Given the behavior of you, Tozen and ylluminate on this thread, I have zero interest in interacting with the V "community" again.
Hi all. Figr's a side project I've been working on to get back into coding after being in management the last couple years. I decided to create it as I love using other notepad style calculators i.e. Soulver, Numi, etc, but was always frustrated there wasn't an online version to share and collaborate like Google Docs.

It's a little hard to explain but I've got some examples which are hopefully relevant to the community

- https://www.figr.app/s/RUNWAY - An example to work out your burn rate / runway
- https://www.figr.app/s/LTVCAC - An LTV/CAC calculator

Has been a fun project to work on, and a great way to see where modern web stacks are currently at. Of course opened to feedback, whether it be technical or product related.

Thanks!
I've heard the author interviewed twice on leftist podcasts and they also drop the "mainframe on the battlefield" thing in the introduction, on both ...

You can read work from actual scholars on this supposed connection, like say Rob Larson, Bit Tyrants: The Political Economy of Silicon Valley, Haymarket Books, 2020

It's 316 pages talking about silicon valley's cozy relationship with the defense department. Unlike the tech journalist Ben Tarnoff, Rob Larson is a professional historian and so you will note the phantom connection is absent from his work.

And it's not like Haymarket Books is politically divergent from Verso, Larson's just a more careful writer.

I feel compelled to point inaccurate things out because if people actually take heed and do their diligence on it, using reality should help them better analyze the world around them.

We should all strive to have as little nonsense as possible when we're trying to be serious.
I'm not the OP
Maybe a good short term solution. But training the recruiter to screen effectively is what you really want. Unless you have enough time to do everything, you can’t have the attitude of doing the work of people who you view as ineffective. Learn how to delegate more effectively, part of which is getting the right people.
Sonicare specifically, or electric toothbrushes in general? I have an old Braun electric toothbrush and it seems to work well, but I could switch brands next time.
US controls all financial infrastructure everywhere. You can’t buy coins if you can’t use the onramps (due to KYC), can’t use the off-ramps (due to Chainalysis and exchange KYC noticing your coins came from a wallet used for crimes a year or two ago). They can extradite you and just wait for you to give up your keys. And so on.

You can’t get away by just not being interesting right now. Transactions are public and forever on most blockchains, so anyone can find you at any time in the future.

These people tried but they barely got to spend their winnings due to how hard it really is to launder money.

High density in the Bay Area isn't really high density at all. Even some new luxury condos in Toronto have higher density than the 'affordable housing' in the Bay.
As someone who loathes Apple, I disagree. But I do agree that there's basically no place to get a trustworthy resource on Apple. Because, for the same reason I don't trust Linus, money is involved.
Apparently the law in California is that salary ranges must be provided to candidates when they ask but I haven't found that to actually happen in practice.
The inevitable, albeit cynic response: Imagine how much DRAM could be saved if Facebook was shut down!

Or put differently: I have only the greatest respect for the Facebook engineers who come up with innovations like this. This one seems to save cost, lowers power use and improves performance all at the same time. If only this engineering talent could be steered to better causes. Facebook is a net negative for society. Here is hoping that emerging “ethical” technology startups eventually have as great of success as surveillance juggernauts Facebook and Google enjoy today.
This seems to be pseudo-history at best, the saying is centuries old in some form or another - Wiktionary has "it never rains, but it pours" at 1772, and even then it was being given as a trite saying.

Maybe it popularised the modern wording, but the story in the article isn't going for that angle at all.
Some companies do tender offers (stock buyback) to give employees liquidity, but unfortunately the c suite and investors (those who typically have a more favorable liquidity preference) can cause the tender offer to be oversubscribed if they enter more sell orders than there are buy orders. Usually this means common stock owners do not get to participate. Preferred stock can also be converted to common, but not the other way around.
Wendell Barry is not for everyone, I have only read a few of his essays but I’ve read most of his Port Williams series which I think everyone should at least read a book from. I grew up pretty rural and there’s no better series is my mind that captures the complicated feelings of loss and nostalgia for a type of living that’s long gone, but also may never have existed as we remember.
All taxes are bad in some way. We just have to decide which ones to implement or which spending to cut. I’d prefer to see a land value tax over pretty much anything other than a VAT because it is far less distortionary, but that doesn’t mean it is without its problems.
Well, I'm planning to run hundreds of scripts for each user. I think something like context switching like in V8 isolates would remove a lot of overhead.

Do you have an idea for a different approach?
You know what's better than Pentaform? Any of the companies doing refurbishing and resale of used PCs. I can get a laptop that has everything built-in and the same performance as this cheap wasteful keyboard for the same price. Amazing!

But damn they suck at marketing. If only they claimed to launch the world's most affordable and environmentally friendly PC. Guess they didn't have the money for that.
It is kind of hilarious that Chrome and web apps are so inefficient that we apparently have to run them on big iron in the cloud.

The interesting thing is that sharing big iron for web browser workloads kind of makes sense because of the bursty usage patterns.
That's terrifying and I hope this isn't a default.
Totally agree that this will be something lots of places might do/expect. I will definitely work against that and judge them by it.

E.g. say they want me to commit to a Github project they provide or I am supposed to set up and commit to. I will use whatever time I am allotted and at the end, when I'm done and expected to hand it in, I will make one git commit that shows I committed everything exactly 1 second after I was supposed to start, then push that to the provided repo. Yes, start, not finish. Meaning "time travel". Maybe even commit as "Linus Torvalds" or something like that.

If they ask about this it's a great conversation starter either way. My experience is that if the talk does come to this either they have no idea how this could even happen and I can explain or judge them based on their reactions or we both have a laugh about their companies policies around this. They see I know my git and I know they're like most companies: actually pretty OK teams and hiring managers with generally crappy HR practices.
In portuguese people say "vinte de junho de dois mil e vinte dois", meaning "twenty of june of two thousand twenty two". The first few days of the month are ordinal: people say "primeiro de janeiro" meaning "first of january".

Japanese uses a neat system akin to YYYY-MM-DD. 2022-06-20 becomes ２０２１年６月２０日 meaning "2021 year 6 month 20 day". Really nice to read. Actual pronunciation is very irregular though, especially days of the month where about half of them are irregular.
I got my most recent job offer by talking to the hiring manager & a couple engineers for about two hours. They grilled me on talking points I’d fed them in my CV, along with some questions I couldn’t have prepared for. No coding, no take home exams. It was pretty great.
If anyone needed a refresher map of the CO river like I did. I always forget it's responsible for California's wobbly butt.

Fun fact: Many electric toothbrushes that use a wireless charging base will charge from a wireless phone charger if you position it right. In a pinch I've even charged mine straight off my phone using the "wireless power share" function (Galaxy Note 10, not sure how common a feature that is).
How do you know what he's saying isn't only half truths? You just trust him. I have seen enough of his behaviour over the years to prefer to see his videos as comedy. That's all.
VCs are looking for a big exit. They have targets for the investment to have been worthwhile. The founders agreed to this. They are not interested in a great company just breaking even and chugging along which is what the employees want.

I wonder how much additional stock the employees are buying with their paychecks…
The counter to this is that many people aren't motivated by money, but need to actually make sure the job offers enough money. "Does the salary range enter into what I need for my life" is the question, not "what job ad has the maximum possible salary". A checkbox, not a parameter that needs to be globally maximal
You can save yourself a lot of time and possibly attract the right type of candidate By posting the salary (not just a range) including all benefits as well as the type of work they’ll be responsible for (not just what skills you expect them to have). Top tier candidates have to deal with a lot of noise, you can make your signal stronger by being upfront about as much detail as possible.
I would personally value apple equity at 70-80% face value vs cash. Apple has solid fundamentals and their equity is liquid. The iphone and m1 macs are still really strong product offerings. Apple also has priority access to TSMC which means they will have the best silicon on the market for the foreseeable future.
For outdoor gear I definitely check outdoor gear lab as a data point before buying anything... (https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/). I've found their assessments mostly inline with my own for a lot of things I have used or purchased in the past. For reference, I'd classify myself as a recovering outdoor gear addict of 10+ years.
Although he probably didn't mean this, it's worth stating that if you have any kind of disability with your hands the only way you might be able to put pen to parchment proverbially speaking is through voice dictation, so his entire premise is invalid.
Rather than a backpack these days I'm trying to optimize for the most useful stuff, and clothing that can fit in an item of luggage that will weigh 48.8 lbs on a hanging scale, so I can check it in with most airlines without absurd fees. For business trips, the longest possible length of time I can go without needing to do laundry mid trip is a time saver.
This. I think I'm still technically in the "junior" category (coming up on four years of experience not counting internships) but I'm pretty much financially independent at this point. I only really stay employed for luxuries, funding for side projects, and the very good health insurance (and the whole "having responsibilities orders your life" thing but I know well how easy coasting is.) I have to imagine senior SWEs have a very very low tolerance for BS and can demand quite a lot.

Speaking of BS that 4hr take home project without even having a salary range is a lot. Even for Junior engineers here we have the manager and a couple engineers sit with the candidate during the coding test.
I've definitely seen calculators at UFJ ATMs.

There are all-in-one sinks at one of the cinemas around where I live, they're the absolute worst, because it's frequent that you trigger the soap dispenser or the water while you're drying your hands.

ISTR braille on cans is also in other countries.

"What you see is what you get" is commonplace at Mos Burger, and is actually not that great, because it's a mess to eat, unfortunately...
You're refusing to define what a class is.. when I think the crux of the problem with this conversation is that we don't have the same definition. You think I'm using the word incorrectly. So please tell me what you think a "class" and what it is in relation to a "set/subsection"
Because the people doing the work want a say in the overall direction of the company?
Well, again, I disagree. It's ridiculous to see a behaviour with your own eyes and then choose to believe it's the opposite.
As they say, just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

I recently switched my git diff viewer to difftastic, which does semantic diffing. It works pretty well, though it's only useful for viewing diffs, not generating patches.
And this isn't going to be like alt stores on Android today. If the requirement for alternative stores is enshrined by laws written by Apple's competitors, you'd better believe it's going to be a lot more seamless than that.

If this dystopia of Government control over my phone comes to pass, I personally predict that we'll see companies like Google, Meta and Adobe run company stores as the exclusive way to load their apps.
The solution is straightforward. Shut down agribusiness (don't call it farming--it's industrial scale) along the Colorado and you will have plenty of water for people and the ability to refill the reservoirs.
I really like this idea.

One thing about about the public key cryptography example that I’ve often wondered, wouldn’t it be better to explain the private party’s contribution as a lock that can only be opened with the public keys?
The main issue is people want to copy Japan by building high speed rail, but Shinkansen isn’t actually that useful - it doesn’t carry mail/cargo, can’t carry much luggage, and though pleasant to use it’s quite expensive. It’s closer to business class flights than anything else. Economy class flights inside the country are often actually cheaper if you don’t mind going to the airport.

Japan’s strength is that you can take yourself everywhere daily on a train or walking/biking, and there’s density and malls in the train stations.
These stats all look wrong for Japan at least. I’ve done research specifically into Japanese transportation modes in Japanese using authoritative sources and the real stats are more in line with what you’d expect (i.e. more public transportation, more biking, less cars). I can’t grab the sources right now, but might try to come back and add them later.

How to Spot an Internet Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
Tozen, since no one has spelled it out for you: I am not obligated to sit at my keyboard refreshing the page constantly, waiting for your latest comment. I was here for 6 hours after posting and responded to many comments including multiple of yours where you continuously insinuated ill intent from me because I didn't give your pet programming language a recommendation.

The V project should feel free to pull any bug reports they want out of my blog post (I see they've already done so multiple times). From the votes on the comment section here, I can it's obvious to everyone how dysfunctional the V community is which explains a lot about the state of the project. I will not be interacting with you again.
Remarkably consistent huh?

I wonder whether the process has much to do with that:

"My wife types my work on a Royal standard
typewriter bought new in 1956 and as good now
as it was then. As she types, she sees things that
are wrong and marks them with small checks in
the margins. She is my best critic because she is
the one most familiar with my habitual errors and
weaknesses. She also understands, sometimes
better than I do, what ought to be said"

Seems like an old school "behind every great man" thing.

No he didn't understand at all. Both the OP and I'm saying that while `make` claims that tcc was not used, the compiler does seem to use tcc even in that case. I have demonstrated that this is a plausible explanation by moving the tcc binary and showing the stark performance difference.

(This is my final response on this matter. I have already given enough information and an inability to interpret it is not my business.)
Your attempt at gaslighting is duly noted.
