What stands out most here is that the youtube video creator behind the "fake" DMCA notices was himself hit by a fraudulent DMCA notice. It seems like he was only trying to bring attention to the completely broken system.

I see this more as a political protest than anything else. But if you rock the boat you're going to get hit.

Commercial Banks and the Real Economy
I interview lots of people for my current and previous employers. I primarily look at public git repos, carefully reading their code. Bonus points for continuous education (Coursera, eDx, etc.). Ultimately though success is also strongly driven by being good at getting along with people, having a habit of carefully reading coworker’s emails and documents, and writing skills. Work is a mixed bag.

I would definitely list online classes and certifications on your resume, right below where you list your public git repos.
I've never heard of a CS degree being a negative in any situation outside of someone with a chip on their shoulder about college degrees in general. The person in your example with the degree would still win out in most situations.

The person with experience versus a new graduate degree holder is the actual head to head where the non degree holder has a much better chance.
This original title also used "limits" which is more correct for the content, this link and the original title should be substituted. A "raised standard" would imply lower limits allowed by conventional use of the word/phrase.

That’s a great thought, however, when you look at tissue under a microscope you should see evidence that the immune system was at play. This means the presence of complement activation (an ancient arm of the immune system), antibodies, white blood cells, nuclear debris, and so on. Presumably when they saw no evidence of immune mediated rejection, they saw none of this.
A small reversal of the outflow from California to Texas, maybe?
Past CDL holder here.

Fyi, you are then a "professional driver" even in a normal car driving to the grocery. If you get a ticket, many states will instantly double the fine because as a pro, "you know better". Plus there's the medical aspect and other bullshit.

Unless you're going to actually use it, dont get it. Learn to drive an 18 speed with air brakes etc, sure. Just dont get the actual cdl.
This inspires me to start creating cards as well.

> Today, my Anki has 4415 cards and grows everyday. I have spent 186 hours studying, I have made around 35K card reviews.

Do you have any personal reflections on what sort of cards worked for you, and how you'd chunk the information or any other tips in using it?
I find people are religious about being git cli purists and only interacting with it in this black box (the terminal). On top of that a lot of people stop learning git after add commit push pull branch and merge so concepts like rebasing and cherry picking are scary.
In this day and age we have state of the art GUI tools that change the game and allow git users to see and interact with the state of a git repository in real time. It's a great way to demystify things like rebasing and interactive rebasing because they show you what's happening in a modern UI designed specifically for git.
I often suggest git CLI purists to get something like git kraken and just use it as a visual dashboard. Watch what happens when you run git commands. You can see everyone else's remote branches and have a much better idea of what's going on than you can without it.
I've worked on teams that just didn't rebase at all and I think people are oblivious to the mess they make on branches with their chaotic merge strategies.
These days, I tend to envision the state of the branch that I want and make that happen. It's so easy to create a new branch before I do anything that if I think something might go south, I just hard reset to my previous state (a branch I created right before the operation)
Gitkraken also has an undo button that handles all sorts of scenarios and I rarely click it without getting exactly what I expected.
Love your tip of how to structure a text. Thanks!
Thanks, I was worried my sample size is too small. Do you have suggestions for identifying these so-called bullshit investors?
If you had a four year degree you used to be able to sit for the Realestate Broker's Exam. That ended a few years ago with yearly lobbing by brokers.

Now the easiest white collar profession (8 courses that are easy) require we work for a broker for years. Usually a broker who got their licence without becoming a salesperson first.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the bill because he wanted competition.

> confidence and toolkit to write my own cryptographic protocols

One of the first things I ever learned in Dan Boneh's Crypto MOOC is to not write your own crypto protocols for your product.

Because old solutions exist for a long time, and have been open for a long time, experts and scholars have had much more time to find faults in them. They are also tested in the industry.

No matter how smart you are, you shouldn’t use your own cryptographic solution.

Use open, long-existed, tried and true solutions.
Well luckily 2.5% is an arbitrary number too. They’d have no problem scaling up to as many customer support people as they need. But yes, they would need to figure out how many staff members per account they need.
It is ambiguous, but the word "Texas" lets us guess correctly.
Fair point.

I look for books in a certain genre, though.

I find myself retreating to classics that are over 30 years old, because the new stuff is so unreadable.

I'll probably start The Black Company (for like, the twentieth time), soon.

first aid certification totally worth it. The fact I know how to provide CPR and first aid opened some surprising opportunities (e.g. attending C level company tours that opened doors) and provided me with experiences when volunteering in an ambulance which is also a surprisingly good network.
How can we expect to fight and win wars if we can't bear trivial negative consequences? US LNG from this port ships to Europe, it replaces the boycotted gas from the Russian pipelines [0,1]. The gas shortage is potentially going to be really bad this winter [2]. If these plants don't keep running, either many people will freeze to death (and the EU economy plunges into recession), or the boycott collapses (and Russia comes back to the negotiating table with extreme leverage).

Additional context: multiple European countries are backsliding to coal power right this week [3]. And Biden has waived federal air pollution regulations, to decrease reliance on imported oil [4]. It's not only Texas. This is a no-win scenario: we can't escape the tradeoff between air quality, climate goals, and the immediate war.

Huh that is surprising! "There is no federal general common law"

Though it does kind of make sense, after all it's the United States of America, not the United People's of America, or the United Local Jurisdictions of America.

The States can have rights that supersedes the people apparently.
The bigger and more bureaucratic a company is, the more certs tend to matter.

Lack of experience and achievements also make certs stand out more, because you've got not much else to show for yourself.

Sometimes certs can be a red flag.. depending on the cert. For example, someone with a whole bunch of Windows certs applying for a job dealing only with Linux? That's a bit of a red flag. Doesn't mean they won't get the job, though.. it's just one factor in the hiring decision.

Sometimes for really laid back companies, any kind of formal signaling like this could be a turn-off. It's like coming in to a company wearing a suit when everyone else is wearing shorts.

I worked with someone who was a certified yoga instructor and uninronically had it on her business cards and email signature.

She was a tech consultant. After I looked up “CYT” I think that made me not think positively of her. I mean it’s good that someone is proud of their accomplishment, but such a weird thing to announce to the world.

Dall-E is just as much enclosure and theft of the commons as copilot is.

Well, every model will have some weaknesses and I suppose it depends on what you want to know which one would be better. I know if I had to choose on the basis of one spectrum with whom I'd like to live in the same country, I'd strongly prefer gp's over the conventional one.

Also, btw, the fascist movement recruited much of it's ideological and political concepts and initial core activist base from syndicalist/corporatist socialist circles and was strongly anti-capitalist/pro-socialist and anti-conservative. Benito Mussolini was for a time chief editor of the Italian Socialist Party's newspaper "Avanti!" and member of the party's National Directorate.
Don't focus exclusively on improving your text. Supplement your writing with pictures or diagrams to support your idea or process.
> The absolute, invariable first rule in tech writing is to know your audience.

While that’s definitely true for tech writing generally, I feel it’s usually not the best advice for someone wanting to improve their technical writing.

Tech writing is first and for all “writing”. I feel that’s where a lot of people are struggling already: they may know vocabulary and grammar, but they have difficulties to write a well structured text. Even a single paragraph consisting of two or three sentences can be very hard for many people to actually think about. They may have been focusing on “shortcut” rules such as “maximum X words per sentence” or “maximum Y sentences per paragraph”. But those are more often than not a distraction to actually think about a logically structured text.

It’s important to have a narrative to guide the reader through the text, presenting new pieces of information in a logical sequence, and anticipating how a reader could misunderstand what you’re trying to say. For fiction writers, coming up with a narrative feels natural (even if it still can be hard). However, non-fiction writers may not even realise that they need some kind of narrative.

You do need to know your audience to anticipate how your reader could misunderstand your text, but I think it’s best to start practising by writing for yourself or someone like yourself. Write something about a topic you know pretty well, but do not master perfectly. Then, read what you’ve written one or two weeks later, and see if it still makes sense to you. If some parts seem confusing, try improving them.

You could do the same with texts written by someone else: whenever you think the text is confusing or unclear, try improving itself.

Do not just quickly add a word or sentence that specifically addresses your confusion, but take a step back and try to understand what caused the confusion. Try to really think about the order in which information is presented, whether that information is explained clearly, and whether all information in your text is necessary to understand the point you’re making.
Very true that we sit by our screens way too much. Any reasonable work away from it is probably for the best.
On this note I would like to share a really good tip (but slightly out of topic) that I got in the comments on some HN post some time ago; don’t use your phone or Internet until late morning, or at least after having really dug in to work for the day. This really helps to focus on the work at hand and avoid distractions.
Question that might not have an answer: do people in places that are already unbearably hot not care about global warming? kind of like telling a fish it’s wet.

That’s not to say they shouldn’t care because it’s going to matter, but is it some kind of special cognitive dissonance?

My lay person understanding as someone with a condition where people get a lot of transplants is that we don't actually know what causes rejection.

Perhaps in some cases the organ contains unidentified infective agents, thus the typical pattern with white blood cells etc.

Perhaps in this case the body decided it was straight up foreign matter and the process of failure was fundamentally different.
I’ve been in FinTech for 20 years. Two businesses I started. Worked with 40 of the top 200 Investment firms. The number one cert I’ve seen BY FAR a) making the most profound impact on work and b) helping the most to increase your probability of always having a great position, is a CFA.
>Is "absence of monetization" a value?

If capitalism is a value, then anti-capitalism is also a value. A lot of people believe the presence of capitalism on the web is fundamentally antithetical to what they see as its fundamentally anarchist/anti-establishment ethos.

Besides, the cost per month of running a small forum nowadays is less than what many people here spend on a single lunch. Not everyone is running a business or a startup.
I don't think Copilot is at any risk of causing unemployment yet, but Dalle could very likely replace a number of graphic design jobs in marketing right now. I think it's an important question, but at the same time, replacing jobs didn't stop the spinning Jenny from taking the textile industry by storm. In fact the exact opposite was true. It was popular specifically because it replaced paid jobs with fewer paid jobs. I don't know if there was backlash at the time, but jobs get destroyed and rebuilt by technology all the time, for better or worse.

Edit: actually I take that back. I think a team that previously needed 3 developers might get away with only 1 or 2 developers thanks to improved productivity from copilot. So it can replace jobs in that way. Dalle can make a team that has one designer go to 0 designers.
What about those of us that do both?

Thx for the kind words and helping me get a better understanding! I think you are really onto something about GPT/Copilot/DALL-E this being almost what the Internet was built for, or at least one of the fundamental growth stages - first communicate, then accumulate data/info online, then make it searchable, then start automatically "understanding" synthesizing it... (with the quotes around "understanding" doing a lot of work).

And a good point you make about not relying on the programmers to run the plagiarism checks - the tool should do it itself.

It sounds like this is indeed closer to an copyright-OK generating of new code, rather than mere laundering, and if it isn't yet there, it seems like the copy/paste paradigm would be a juvenile phase, and it should improve and get more "creative" and less copy/paste-ish with further development.
I work for a fairly hige tech company and it’s pretty bureaucratic (although I suspect not nearly as much as some others) and certifications (other than academic degrees and such) still carry the same sort of negative connotation here the other answer implies.
Yes average is there still actually running things...
I wish they would add Twitter to this list. Every tweet or "tweet thread" that's been posted has been incomprehensible to read and navigate beyond the actual title or first tweet.
I am trying to learn about radio (and the electric and magnetic fields in general), and I'm following the Great Scott Gadgets' "Software Defined Radio with HackRF" video series. I'm also thinking about getting an amateur radio license. What else could you recommend?
Good question. Maybe not, maybe actually yes. Using animals for transplants gives place for all kind of discussions. But this pig only existed as it was raised for that purpose. Like basically all pigs, which are raised for meat production. In contrast to those, the pig in question was probably well raised in good conditions and fed quality food and no bad pharmaceuticals.
And indeed, humans use many animals, a lot of that use involves their deaths. But here it at least isn't for some random food, and a lot of meat just goes waste, but to keep a human alive. That is at least a very good reason.

> Your time is better spent working on side projects, contributing to open source, writing a blog, etc. I.e. do real-world stuff

Just FYI that at some companies, collecting certificates is indeed real world stuff. Some companies use it for marketing (“we have the most certifications in the industry”) and some need to to satisfy vendor partner requirements (“AWS Premier Partners are required to have X number of certificates”). It doesn’t seem fair to penalize a candidate just because they did what their company asked for.
Certs have done nothing for me personally, but they have helped me walk into jobs. Employers do not need to validate your skills when someone else has done it for you. CCNA/CCNP were dirt easy exams (for me) but everyone wanted to see it just to validate if you could grasp networking concepts. MCSE (and whatever it was renamed to) to validate windows knowledge. Vmware, hashicorp, k8s certs etc all raise your worth. A lot of larger organizations like the structured approach that you come away with.

I say, if you know the underlying concepts, go and take the certifications. Doubly so if your company will pay for them. It's just free resume fodder.

TL;DR: DO IT.
Not sure what origin/HEAD is supposed to point to. HEAD is a ref that points to the tip of the current branch. It's not going to be available for remotes (it just doesn't make sense).

To reset the current branch, you need to do two things:

$ git fetch

to fetch commits from the default remote and point remote branches accordingly, and

$ git reset --hard origin/master

to reset HEAD to the remote branch. Substitute master for any other remote branch if you wish.

That's it. I don't know if this is more difficult than re-cloning from scratch (especially if you're doing frontend and then have to reinstall node_modules and such…)
Idk, am I the only one thinks Git is really not that hard? At all?
Don’t blobs dominate the total disk space? It sounds like some data would double but the overall disk space usage shouldn’t be quite so dramatic (except for really small repos where it probably doesn’t matter?)
Too bad that wasn't in the musical. Can you imagine Russell Crowe belting an essay on Waterloo?
Thanks! I really is hard to keep track of all of those changes. Latest that I've seen is that someone new has bought the company that has bought AFC some time ago.
For now. Desantis is already saying he will increase restrictions. Do you have any reason to believe this man, running for President in 2024, won’t race to claim he is the king of protecting fetuses? He’s not going to be able to stand on a stage next to anyone who claims they will restrict abortion in any and all cases, and he knows that. Pence was out yesterday calling for a blanket nationwide abortion ban. That’s were the GOP as a party will be in 2 years, and Florida will need to be there before then to shore up Desantis’ political position.

Florida will not be a state where abortions happen soon enough.
> As a person who has tried setting up Linux like 5-10 times over the years this sounds exactly like my experience and basically what I assume Linux use is always like.

It's not my experience at all. When I buy a computer to run Linux I normally get one with Linux preinstalled (normally the latest LTS Ubuntu). Then if I ever need to upgrade to a more recent version of Ubuntu it generally goes smoothly.
> if we can't bear trivial negative consequences?

Instead of we, how about you move right next to this plant..

But if the only consequence is price, I agree with you. I speculate that the Freeport LNG fire was sabotage. Of course I have no evidence, but many interests are served.. Russia, but also industrial natural gas users in the USA trying to limit the price..

The fire reduced our exposure to the global natural gas market, and the price in the USA immediately plunged:

Mercurial is still actively developed, and isn't really "dead", although it did lose a lot of popularity and "mindshare".

Projects like Firefox and nginx use it, although others like Vim and Python switched to GitHub. I don't know if Facebook is still using Mercurial internally, but for their public stuff they use GitHub.

I think that if GitHub had supported Mercurial like BitBucket or Google Code it would still be a lot more popular, but ah well...

The Intel monoculture in laptops has been a boon for linux compatibility. A random mid-range laptop with the an Intel CPU, Intel WiFi chipset, and integrated graphics will usually run linux straight out of the box. Most webcams in laptops are UVC devices so also work.

Desktops are somewhat more hit-and-miss, as are discrete GPUs (I hear the newer AMD GPU drivers are much improved, but have no personal experience with them).
Git is definitely not ill-conceived and jealously castigating Linus for creating it and freely giving it away is no more than a petty insult.
as someone in Devops/SRE I hold the same thinking as you. Whenever I see an interview come in loaded with certs, I automatically think they just know how to take tests and study for them.

It's almost 100% that they fail the interview because they don't know how to put the learning into real world solutions.
Then wanting to do things differently is fine of course. The problem I have is that Mississippi receives $7,000 more from the federal government than they pay per capita every year. Bringing unwanted children into the state will make that worse. Why should they get to collect my tax dollars and then make decisions that cause the rest of the country harm?
