Ditto is good but I am partial to the user interface of an AutoHotkey program called ClipJump[1]. The main functions are all accessible with the regular Ctrl and ZXC keys, in the normal flow. Pressing Ctrl+V while holding Ctrl down brings up a tooltip with the current item on the clipboard, and you can move backwards and forwards through the stack by tapping C and V (while still holding Ctrl). Tapping X switches actions (Paste, Cancel, Delete, Delete All), and releasing Ctrl commits the action. It's so intuitive that it makes other clipboard managers feel clunky. And tapping Z strips the text formatting.

While it is written in AutoHotkey and hasn't seen any updates in 8 years, it still works perfectly under Windows 11. The code is pure spaghetti and filled with goto statements and global variables and trying to understand it is a lost cause, but despite that it's almost bug-free and covers all of the corner cases, including copying from zip files, Microsoft Office documents, images, files, etc. Way back when it was just someone's project on the AHK forums I contributed a couple of fixes to it, before it was so complex.

System design rounds are my favorite by far, on both sides of the interview.

If you're someone who likes browsing a lot of the engineering blog posts that come across HN, reddit, etc, there is a treasure trove of questions to be had.

Just look up a large company tech blog and read through one of their articles. Whether it's well written (you get to learn a lot from the trenches) or not (you have to think about the gaps that aren't explained) you win.

One thing I like to do is take a post-mortem or breakdown of a service (say messaging at slack, which has quite a few blogposts about it), read until they say "since we did not have X as a constraint", then mentally rewrite the rest of the article with that constraint put in.

One can usually find tons of these implicitly, or some explicitly stated.

Depending on the technology, you can also search specific forums to see other problems that things run into at scale. Which leads me to another fun source of system design problems:

* Find people talking about pushing the bounds of configuration values in production.

There are a _ton_ of config values in many pieces of software. Go check the software forums to see why the heck someone would be setting the value so high/low/strangely. An example of this are the elasticsearch or kafka forums. Find someone storing lots of very small things in elasticsearch and hitting scaling issues, or someone trying to maximize storing some very large things, and how they work around it.
I think Opus Magnum and Shenzen I/O are the most interesting (for me).
Imagine if this was coupled with the “publish or perish” academic culture. Do any universities have similar labs?
My favorite was this:

"A game without someone to play it is hardly a game, and it’s only because of our players that our games have meaning and a life of their own."
I've been doing development on the PinePhone as well. The ability to just plug in right to an HDMI display with the device and a keyboard/mouse and have a pocketable GNU/Linux environment has been nice the last few years.
And I'm able to use that old third-party DeX dock that I rarely used with my Galaxy s8 - so there's that, too!
Here's an advantage that no one seems to point out. "Longevity," crypto, like bitcoin, does not need a nation state to survive. True, it's value will fluctuate, there is nothing stopping it from going to zero, but as long as there's group of people that want to mine it and use it, it will be here.
By that logic every sale of an Android phone harms Linus Torvalds. It’s clear that such isn’t the case rather he and your author failed to be benefit from some transaction, but that isn’t harm. After all I don’t get a cut of every windows sale even if doing so would benefit me.

As to the law ‘respecting’ personal property, we have this thing called taxes that says the state just gets to take some of your stuff based on the same principles that a larger bear gets to take stuff from a smaller one. As to how much stuff you can protect, squirrels aren’t limited to what they can defend they can just hide it.

Many posts on this site are barely relevant outside of San Francisco, so this strains credulity as an explanation.
> however if you want both in one without paying for the Alfred powerpack, I highly recommend Raycast.

Came here to post this. I'm a convert to Raycast (free, proprietary) from Alfred with Power Pack, but Raycast is stellar. It's got a searchable Clipboard History, and additionally you can filter by type (text, images, files, links, colors).
The boards for small nonprofts vs large nonprofits are very different.

Getting on a board in the small-nonprofit world is all about sufficient interest, dedication, and somewhat on a willingness to give. In my experience, most small-to-midsize nonprofits are willing to take about anyone who demonstrates dedication to both the cause and organization in the form of sufficient volunteer time and willingness to do what is needed to advance the cause. The people running the show get to know you, and eventually invite you in.

But getting on a board in the for-profit world is all about who you know and the contacts you bring. In a lot of ways this is very similar to the large, well-funded, well-staffed non-profits, where they don't really want your expertise, but do want your money and your contact list.

As far as consequences if things fail: your donors will likely hate you.
You can see what is getting flagged. It becomes kind of obvious. But yeah, a justification or an excuse can always be conveniently put out there, for some.

Edit: And as kind of predicted, this thread was flagged. I guess it proves the point.
> You receive the full information of the copyright holder if you receive a DMCA takedown.

That’s not exactly helpful if it’s a fraudulent claim.
The article buried the lede, which I think is this-- Google as email provider had information all along that DMCA notices it was sending to its YouTube property were not legitimate. Google even went so far as to flag and reject some of those notices because of false personalities, but instead of going to the root cause to stop abuse of its systems it allowed the same user to plug along long enough to manipulate YouTube in a way that caused Bungie an alleged $7.6m in damages. Then the icing is that when Bungie came knocking Google initially resisted a court-related request to allow Bungie to identify the user and stop the abuse. Wow.
It may be a right, but I am saying you should pass an amendment to guarantee the protection of said right. If you don't then the states should decide.
If it's like any bailout of the past, it probably zeroes a lot of people.

A troubled company's balance sheet usually looks like:

Assets: A Mess

Liabilities: A Mess

None of the claimholders (liabilities) know what they can withdraw, when, etc. A "buying asset" bailout often happens when someone (like Goldman here) comes in to buy only the gross assets. They will pay $2 bln in cash for the assets, and divorce the two messes. The two companies afterwards are now:

NewCo:

Asset: A Mess

Liabilities: None, other than their new single equityholder, Goldman.

OldCo:

Asset: $2bln

Liabilies: A Mess.

NewCo is controlled by one person (or a tight group) and can unwind its positions slowly at leisure, waiting for prices to go up, with no more (financial) liquidations.

OldCo has a much easier time. All creditors are called to line up in order. A judge decides who is most senior. The senior most people go collect their money (chunk of $2bln first). People queue up until the money is gone. In the highly unlikely case there is any money left after all claims are paid, the money goes to the old Celcius equityholders.
They're risking their name, for a start.

I'm a convert from Alfred. At least for how I used Alfred (including its Power Pack), I haven't seen a reason to go back.
The alternative is a password and encryption which could be just as bad but is also connected to the public internet.

On a usb drive, the range of possible attackers is comparatively miniscule.
>They are raising other peoples money to buy it. They then charge those people. So unless they retain some portion of it, they will make money regardless of whether the investment makes money.

Yes, that is indeed how Goldman makes money.
Can second this! The mobile Linux community is a very friendly and open space. I've been loving my Braveheart and PostmarketOS CE Pinephones, and am looking forward to picking up a PinePhone Pro to test and build with as soon as they're back in stock on Pine64 Store.

Unwanted or unloved by whom? Visit a foster/adoption group and you’ll meet plenty of people wanting to give kids a safe, loving environment. (I’m not saying any particular foster program is adequate, rather the idea that a child is “unwanted” or “unloved” is a fallacy.)

I'd argue should be doing more to ensure lab biohazard safety regardless of the origin of COVID-19, which is one reason I don't think knowing the answer has a lot of practical significance.
I'm working through it and I can almost physically hear his voice through it. It's brilliant writing. I know this style and can see how it works, and I can imagine a person giving it as a very enthusiastic lecture. It's a rhythmic patter that uses spaced repetition and diversions that make you go back and re-read the important parts. Just like comedy, it sets things up and knocks them down in stacks, and so if you go with it, you will remember it just the way you would remember a joke. This is a really fine example of persuasive writing. Cheers.
The democrats would not have been able to make the right for abortion into a law during that period. And women should not have to suffer because the republic is dysfunctional.
The 6809 was used in a production gadget, the Vectrex, the only vector-graphic consumer videogame console. It came with a screen that worked like an oscilloscope -- no raster, just an electron beam sweeping along the line. So, no jaggies.

As it was necessarily monotone, games came with clear plastic color overlays for the screen.

6809 was notable as the first 8-bit microprocessor with a multiply instruction: 8x8->16 bits.
Sadly, that's true for an awful lot of people. Even then you'd be surprised how many go along meekly with having their rights removed or withheld.
This is one of the premises behind the United State’s uniquely effective approach to prevent gun violence. Everyone understands the penalty for murder, so no one ever uses a gun for unlawful acts against other humans.

I expect NFTs are most analogous to owning a copy of a work, not the copyright. So you pay $330k and you get rights equivalent to prints of a piece of art. This may come with an implied right to publicly display the art, or may not, and that right may be limited in some ways. And, like a print, you can keep and treasure your NFT or re-sell it.

But you don’t own the copyright and can’t make more prints unless there was a separate agreement to that effect.
A bit sad that a lot of people don't know how or don't have the time to meet and talk anymore, without having to resort to buying "services".
Back a decade ago, century link kept disabling my isdn line based of spammed dmca takedowns. I wrote them several letters demanding proof, even pointing that their abuse form was entirely open to anyone and asking for any substantive proof. It took them a third time to actually send some printouts which amounted to again random spammer on their dmca form.

They "solved" the problem by firewalling connections and a lame gateway asking you to admit to whatever.
A zoonotic jump that happened to occur inside of a wildlife research facility due to bad lab technique is not that scary. If it's proven true, it's pretty likely that the lab operators will fix it. Could you imagine being the guy who caused the COVID-19 pandemic by forgetting to sanitize some tool? I bet whoever did it would be the single most careful and clean research scientist in the entire world after that kind of episode.

The bioweapon theory, however, is politically useful. If you want to start a war, or at least trade sanctions, a villain is a good place to start. Someone violating international law and gene splicing themselves a pandemic in a bottle is exactly the right kind of comic book supervillainy, without being technically impossible.
But why isn’t it already a right?

Is there a constitutional amendment that recognizes the right to a vasectomy or appendectomy?

Some good recommendations & thoughts here.

It is a layoff by your terminology, because we're in that insane VC-money world ("poison pill" as I've seen it called on here!) where it's "go big or go home". So the plan is we win it all back, and we re-hire everyone (although who would ever re-join after a layoff I don't know, but that would be the plan), the alternative is complete shutting down.

Re: exec staff pay cut. We can't lay people off to save ourselves, that's sociopathic. I can't do $0 though, I get paid 20% more than a senior engineer here, and I've not got capital investments.

Re: reduced hours/pay (or furloughing as someone else called it) is a great idea. I used to dream of the 4-day work week, ideally under better conditions...

Not enough money in the bank to do 6 months severance, but more than 2 is available along with all leave.

We'll lose the office too, so can't do office-space :(

Most of the others are doable I reckon!
> Raise as much money as you can. In 2021, this was terrible advice.

How so? If you raised a ton of cash in 2021, you should better equipped to ride out any economic downturn than nearly any other business in existence. Most businesses do not have millions of dollars in cash in a bank account. Sure, your valuation might be bonkers, but that's better than being kicked to the curb, and inflation will probably dampen the blow anyways.
a lot of pinball machines are based on the 6800. i've been really impressed by one project that replaces the 6800 with an avr by just wiring up all the relevant pins and holding the 6800 in halt:

i've started working on a derivative project using an rp2040 instead of the avr with hopes of offloading the 6800 bus work to a pio
That can be useful if you feel Unicode doesn't represent what you want to say - for instance, if you can only communicate in ASCII symbols you can't invent any new symbols, you can "only" build them out of ASCII art.

It's mostly because Japan is bad at web technology and APIs though. They also love gratuitous complexity; you've seen their websites and how every page is covered in stuff, but the URLs themselves are less like "youtube.com" and more like "blahblahblah.bsd.unix.nicovideo.jp/several/tech/buzzwords.jsp".
> If a for profit compaby goes belly up, do the board members suffer any real consequences, apart from perhaps not being invited into other boards?

Funniest shit I've heard all week. Once you get above a certain level (C-suite or board level), you only get in trouble in very specific circumstances. Most of the time on for profit boards you get paid to sit on your ass and meet in emergencies or annually or quarterly.
Well obviously everything is priced in.

Never ever want to return to a random office and desk if I can help it. But that’s not as bad as a commute. Never ever ever want to commute ever again.

I hated it pre-pandemic and now it feels downright idiotic to waste two hours a day mindlessly driving.

YouTube goes FAR beyond what the DMCA requires, they actively filter EVERY video through a data lake of fingerprints for copyrighted music/video and this process biases HEAVILY toward false positives. It not only takes down videos cases of accidental infringement (e.g. a vlogger walking past a radio in public) but also suffers from well-documented cases of just plain getting it wrong. Musicians often get their own music taken down, even when it contains no samples.

Many content creators have fallen back to playing NO music at all in their videos, and they still get hit by it. YouTube has been silent on the matter, not to mention on how that's even possible.

The algorithm is so effective that police have taken to playing loud copyrighted music when engaging in actions that they don't want spread via social media.

At this point, it's getting hard to ascribe the awfulness of the fingerprint-driven auto-takedowns as mere incompetence.
WebP & JPEG XL compress losslessly better than PNG and lossy much better than JPEG. Perhaps not perfect either, but we finally do have formats that can do both — and better than either before.
Dunno about awful. Pointless? Yes certainly, but most students just use it as a hour long playground, so you can focus on the ones that actually care.

But I don’t know, maybe things changed in the past 17 years xD
>Not to be glib, but what would be a legitimate scientific interest in discovering the truth?

Meaning, someone who didn’t walk in with a bias and look around the room for things that support said bias. This debate is packed with armchair experts who seem to have a larger interest in the politics than the science.

>If it was a lab leak, "Oops." …

Oops?!

>Or, in other words, what would we do differently if it were a lab leak? Increase biocontainment protocols?

If you’re like most of us on HN, at work, when we make big mistakes that cost our companies money and users, we have thorough retrospectives, learn from our mistakes, identify root causes, build for redundancy and high availability, and prevent the same incident from ever happening twice. That’s what I’d expect to see if the lab leak (which you strangely keep calling human origin, as if a naturally occurring virus can’t leak from a lab) were proven.

> Okay, so we've made human-origin less likely. We still have to deal with naturally-occurring in the future.

We have naturally-occurring forest fires, yet as a society, we sure seem to put a lot of effort into stopping “human-origin” fires. This sounds a bit “fuck it, why bother trying to make anything better, something bad will always happen”.

I’m not sure what was the type of problem that he asked the engineers, for which they could simply copy and paste “perfectly optimized” answers from the internet… I suspect they were just some common algorithm questions, supposed to be answered in a very popular programming language. Then of course this is what he would get as a result. Still can’t deduce from this that paper-based interviewing is the answer. For a customized coding challenge with moderate complexity, I can’t foresee this kind of issue easily arising.
However only one side is hellbent on wrecking peoples' lives.
Principles such as refusing to condemn the former President’s coup apparently. Or even watch evidence about it.

I have condemned terrorism on the left, for example eco-terrorism (which seems to have thankfully died off). I didn’t read the DOJ notice, but it is important to note their job is to take the worst case scenario and plan for it. I haven’t seen widespread attacks on parishes and don’t honestly believe they will occur. Some insane portion of people on both sides issue a lot of dumb threats but only rarely are those threats executed on. If they do I will of course condemn them. But I will always place more emphasis on events which have actually happened, not just hypotheticals. For example the recent troubling incident in Idaho where a few dozen men with guns were headed to attack a parade. Multiple studies have shown that 90+% of domestic terrorism is linked to the right wing.

I do not support harassing judges, but I hardly think that rises to any level of insurrection. They weren’t attacking the authority of the government or even of the justice in question. I doubt most of them even intended or expected her to change her mind. Even if you are right and they were attempting to unduly influence her, that wouldn’t be undermining her authority but relying upon it.

It reflects the current reality - justices have become partisan so people believe they are entitled to treat them as any other partisan politicians, who as elected officials are required to be accountable to the people. We should prevent that. Justices not acting as naked partisans would help, as would both parties compromising and writing laws again so fewer things of import are decided by unelected justices. Controversial decisions should allow both parties share some of the blame, because any good society requires controversial decisions to be effective.

By the way, if protesting outside a justices home is insurrection, then the right is guilty again - they protested outside numerous state election officials homes to attempt to pressure them to violate their oaths to keep Trump in power. They also issued numerous death threats, which thankfully didn’t happen. And published home addresses.

We need to step down from this level of rancor and return to democracy in action. The broad public is in agreement on most things and supports reasonable compromises, but our governmental structure has stopped making them viable.
I feel like Nintendo is better than average for a Japanese company tech-wise. But it is notable how they treat the internet; they updated Animal Crossing Switch to add a few new online features, but if you try to use them you have to go through a conversation with a cute animal who basically says "to use this service you MUST agree that EVER GOING ONLINE means HACKERS will LITERALLY KILL YOU and you're only doing this because you're AN IDIOT".
The problem was that their potentiometers had too much hysteresis? That seems like something you could compensate to a significant degree in software?
