Anectdotally, I get more fully-remote offers from recruiters. They used to be rare exceptions, most contacts would basically end with me saying "I'm not moving to London/Amsterdam"; some would try to fake it ("yeah we said remote ok, but actually that's just a day or two a week..."). Now most will say "fully remote" upfront and stress it throughout.

I reckon the UK sector in particular has finally locked on the realization that they can save boatloads of money by hiring outside London/Thames Valley, and the sky will not fall if IT folks are not lined up in big City offices like chickens in pens. Covid was a big game-changer.

Stack - Seamless data collaboration and versioning

Hey HN! We are the co-founders of Stack, a hub for data collaboration and versioning. We are developing this tool to help ML teams automatically track changes in their data seamlessly.

We are opening a waiting list for our beta, which we aim to release soon. You can sign up at: https://www.getstack.ai/

We are also actively looking for feedback. Feel free to share any comments or thoughts!
Japan's energy is mostly (~80%) generated by imported coal and natural gas. The mix was better before, but they shut down all nuclear plants in 2012.

This is also the reason why Toyota is pushing Hydrogen vehicles so hard, the Japanese grid can't handle EVs. Hydrogen they could theoretically manufacture, store and distribute locally.
That's why people should not be forced to pair program. (and I personally favor pairing)
What areas of the US are you thinking of that have constant blackouts? I can see California and Texas as maybe what you're thinking of, but generally the rest of the states do very well. Growing up in Georgia in the most rural area you could think of, the only blackouts we ever had were when trees fell on powerlines during tornadoes and winter storms

- What communities do those minerals come from, and what ailments arise from the sequestration and disposal of them?

Preface: everything you do has an environmental cost, because you are a human, and on top a human living in a developed country (so I assume), understand this cost and understand that despite things having costs it is generally better to be environmentally conscious and take environmentally conscious routes than not doing it

Depends on what type of battery you are using, lead acid batteries such as cars are common and already produced at scale despite their environmental cost, because battery banks do not have weight limitations it is generally recommended to not use lithium for them and instead use other types of batteries for the task

Lithium batteries have different processing costs, if you are using lithium assume that the workers are being paid more or less fairly at market rates, if you are using lead, then your guess is as good as mine because of the sprawling production line, who knows what an iron miner in west papua earns/month, any product you ever buy will have human suffering embedded to it as a cost, any product, because suffering is inherent to both human existence and production of goods at competitive prices, that's how it is, deal with it

> What changes are happening to emergency services and fire now that we have a battery, similar to car or marine batteries, which are difficult to extinguish en masse?

No changes are happening, and you need to deal with that uncertainty, changes will start to happen when enough lithium based vehicles start setting themselves on fire and people dying that the system is forced to react and develop countermeasures, the world is ruled by institutional inertia, no changes will happen until that inertia is overcome by these new forces, which will happen eventually, only after enough accidents have happened and attention has been called to the issue

> How are these recycled? I dont mean, just ship it to X company for rebate, I mean what actually happens to the waste products and how are those neutralized?

Unknown. Lead acid batteries can be recycled, unknown if tightly packaged/glued lithium composites wrapped in plastics akin to tetrapak can be recycled, there are facilities which do it, they grind the batteries to dust for it tho, then reprocess what they can

But, the good thing is that unlike tetrapak recycling there's lots of money on the line for novel methods of lithium recycling

But yeah, overall it is a good outlook and it is developing fast vs current state of affairs with fossil fuels
That's comparing steady state with bootstrapping a Kubernetes environment. I suspect steady state Kubernetes is comparable.
Former Chicagoan here. Grew up in Evanston and lived in Lakeview area for almost 20 years. We moved to a small town in Colorado a few years ago. Chicago is just constantly running against the wind. Violent crime is a game-changer (property crime is one thing, violent crime another), public schools are dysfunctional, taxes are bad and only getting worse, weather is terrible the majority of the year, and there's nothing particularly interesting to visit within a few hundred miles (though I've always loved western Michigan). Chicago has a culture that's gotten progressively uglier and makes a lot of people generally not want to live there. I could go on, and I'm not saying anything unique. It's just running against the wind and prevents Chicago from ever really taking off and reaching escape velocity. It would take a real unicorn to jumpstart things more.

Btw you ask any former Chicagoan and they'll say the same thing: their only regret was not moving sooner.

This makes me think of the problem text messengers have. Do they have one central server, or do they have a federation of independently run servers with differing software versions? If they have the latter, how do they encourage everyone to maintain a minimal standard level of compatibility? What if someone wants to introduce a great new feature? Does it take years because of the non-centralized nature and people refusing to update?

What you envision about modularity in a small way has already happened with the Skia graphics api. "The library is used as of 2021 in Google Chrome, Chrome OS, Chromium OS, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, Android, Firefox OS, LibreOffice (from version 7.0), Flutter and Avalonia (from Alpha 4)."
On principle or in practice? In practice it’s very easy to just use some fake urine you purchased online and leave in your office bag. If for some reason there is an issue with it (there usually isn’t) they just make you take a second appointment based one that you can use someone’s clean urine for.

The driver of this car, Max Chilton, deserves a lot of credit for really going for it with a very fast car that looks pretty squirrelly.

With regard to taking records away from the VW ID.R, a much more interesting benchmark would be its performance at Pike's Peak. I don't imagine they're ready for that yet.
The most famous fan car was the Brabham BT46, which used a skirt and fans to suck itself to the ground, leading to a ban of fan cars in F1.

It's a fundamentally fallacious notion to say "Other people have it worse, why would you want better for yourself?". That's part of the problem with this satement: "A voluntary market interaction, that 95% of the world population would jump at the opportunity to engage in, is by no reasonable definition, exploitive." It applies equally to a statement like this: Other companies struggle with profits when they have union labor, why shouldn't amazon be forced to unionize their employees?

The other part of the the problem with that statement of course comes from the dictionary definition (one I think most people would consider a reasonable definition), it says:

making use of a situation or treating others unfairly in order to gain an advantage or benefit.

Punishing (the term they use is penalizing because it sounds nicer) people for being people and needing to use the restroom is unfair. So is punishing people for delivery delays caused by traffic. Both of those seem pretty unfair to me - maybe I'm unreasonable for thinking a person isn't at fault for traffic?
It's also hilarious the crypto market is doing all of these things by itself, just as I said. Just now 3AC (3 Arrows Capital) defaulted, Bitcoin is at $20K and sliding lower, Tether is sweating bullets, so pretty much everything I'm saying is already unfolding.

Almost 15 years and I cannot see any usecase for crypto. But yes, it is an evil industry.
> Rent, not mortgages, has gone up from 1k to 2.5k here. For a one bedroom apartment. Minimum wage here will get you ~2k/mo.

A few posts ago, it was "median rent costs double (or tripple, or more) the median income". Now, it's "rent is about the same as minimum income" (which is still a problem, but nowhere near the same thing as the prior claim).
What do you mean to say when you want to review code?

Personally, I have roughly three distinct levels of things that I comment on in code reviews:

1. Does not need response, but is my personal opinion about how the code probably would look nicer. In this case, I would do #2. If you just say "no," that's fine. I can revisit the issue later. Some people think these comments don't actually belong in a code review, and I think it depends a lot on your relationship with the code and the person asking for review.

2. Needs response, but is potentially open for discussion instead of a change to the code. I would do #4 here.

3. You must make this change or I will not accept. I would personally do #6. There is no need to use "non-confrontational" language with many people when you mean to be confrontational. There is a hard line about what you will and won't accept. If it is a major comment, you need to explain your rationale here out of courtesy to the person sending you code.

Most things that fall into the third category are around code style conventions and minor bugs. More substantive changes, like changes to an architecture, often fall into the second category.

Edit: Also, when I nitpick your code for one reason or another (which generally only happens when I am enforcing a company style guide), I will often say "Nit:" and then use the sixth style. If you are new to the team, I will quote the guide to you. Most people don't feel so bad about the nitpicks when you admit that you are nitpicking, and that it is for a reason.
Wait, you have invented Web4? Tell us more.
The problem is how they got the data to generate anything in the first place.

They trained on code with restrictive licenses (according to reports from multiple users), trained on open source free code etc. and then this microsoft the multi billion dollar corporation that acquired your warm and fuzzy home is now selling that code back to its (often times already paying customers) for $100 per year.

they are taking more than they are giving, benefiting from free labor. classic corporate move.
Back in the 1980s when Kung Fu movies were big, do you think American audiences cared about the plot ?

Or that the dubbing was horribly inaccurate ?

Of course not. We came to see amazing fight scenes.

Likewise, with Marvel movies the plot is barely serviceable non-sense. We came for Sci Fi special effects, jokes and fan service.
> 60% of the Kubernetes ecosystem is half-baked alpha software

This one is fair. Wasted a lot of time trying to find the "correct" dependencies—I remember the Nginx Ingress Controller specifically being a headache—only to find a maze of deprecations, poorly written documentation, or stuff that just flat out didn't work. That was ~18 months ago (I set up my cluster to run sites for my business and have basically left it alone) so things may have changed but at the time I remember being surprised after hearing so much hype.
In 2017 there were a lot of projects that tried to latch onto Buterin's star in some way to raise money for their ICO or pump the price of their token.

> No HTTPS means worse performance, because HTTP 2.0 requires it

HTTP 2.0 actually does not require it, the spec allows for it over unencrypted connections. All browsers have decided to only enable it over TLS connections though.
You could also disable JS in Safari but with the caveat you would stand out among the masses who have it enabled. However like you said, the more people that disable JS in Safari, the easier it is to blend in, but we’re far away from that happening. As regards unique fingerprints, no JS mitigates things like canvas fingerprinting and other factors like time zone, battery charge level etc

Ah! I somehow missed that paragraph!
For some hard data, in San Francisco and NYC, the mass transit agencies are starting to plan for never getting back to full ridership again. And by plan, I mean starting to ask for federal funding to keep the systems alive (which I think they should) because the fare revenue is never going to return to pre-pandemic levels but the physical plant remains just as expensive to operate.

Keep in mind: these are two of the densest cities in the U.S., where people typically have less space for a home office and commutes are shorter vs an exurb type city. WFH is here to stay in my view, especially for employers in competitive recruiting spaces.
It depends on who the corworker is, how well I know them and how long the review is. My comments range from very polite to "???" "delete this" or "don't copy paste this".

Once I have worked with someone for a while (and perhaps have gone out for beers / coffee a few times), I write shorter comments.

At that point, they've usually figured out that I mean well, but am blunt.

For new hires, I spend a lot more time spent on "why" and tone.

If my team set guidelines for this, that'd be a strong signal of much, much deeper dysfunction and I'd consider switching jobs.

Not to say that your product isn’t capable for many use cases, but the fact that the 1krps range is something impressive in Python world is indicative of the issue: Python is not built for speed, it’s built for convenience, and increasingly it’s competing against more modern languages that offer both.
My rules for reviews (which influence the language used) are:

* Criticise the code, not the author ("There's a bug here" vs. "You inserted a bug here");

* Reach common agreement that people shouldn't cling to code written ("sunk cost fallacy"). Code is liability, and it's okay to throw things away and restart from scratch, the value is in the learning;

* Don't use questions that invite discussion if you're not inviting a discussion, instead expose the reason you believe something should be different ("Should this be like X?" vs. "I think this should be like X for reasons A, B, C."). This avoids wasting time and reviews that turn into long discussions.

* Don't give orders ("Do this", "Do that") to your colleagues, since they are not your employees, and it doesn't help promote learning & growth by not exposing the reasoning behind the demand;

* Avoid bike-shedding about style/formatting/etc. If this is important where you work, automate with tools;

* Agree previously on what constitutes a non-passable review, if there's such a process.
It's not quite that simple if you are not with provider that provides LoadBalancer service integration with Kubernetes. Normally the input to Kubernetes cluster is essentially NodePort. That's normally more or less random high port (like 31453) that is exposed on all nodes/nodes that run the service that matches the selector. Unless you want your visitors to add that to the URL (and keep DNS up to date with active nodes), using it to provide end-user accessible HTTP/HTTPS services is not very viable.

You either need to find/create integration to provider's load balancer (or possibly CDN that allows non-1:1 port mapping) or use HostPort service. Latter has it's own share problems as well.
Apple doesn't see any of the code. They pay someone to poke at the GUI for ~15 minutes with an HTTP proxy running. That's it. If you want an app store where people see code use f-droid.

Open Web Advocacy has been very clear that they want competition on iOS, not Chrome specifically. The reason being that the absence of competition is currently allowing Apple to deteriorate the web experience on iOS, preventing the web and web apps from competing with native apps. Their objective is to lift these artificial limitations imposed by Apple and free the web.

OWA members have actually been actively reporting WebKit bugs and interacting with the Safari team to help prioritise features and bug fixes on Twitter and elsewhere, showing the goal is to improve the overall web experience on iOS, not allow Chrome to become dominant. Here is one of their detailed bug report: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop-2022/issues/84.
All we really have right now is a Discord server and a very small wiki. We focus on the Milo-engine games made by Harmonix, we don't really deal with the Neversoft GH games. We also made some pretty popular mods, like Guitar Hero II Deluxe, Rock Band 2 Deluxe, and Rock Band 3 Deluxe.

Alignment of the attitude of teleoperators with that of a semiautonomous Android
My home's HVAC system is getting old and when I had the HVAC technician out for the summer inspection I asked about a new system (mine was installed in 2008). He said a new one will be a lot more energy efficient and (depending on the system we choose) would have more settings than off and blast cold.

I mentioned that this one struggles to hold 75 when it's much over 100 degrees outside and was told it doesn't matter what system I buy, that will always be true. The systems can only pull down the temperature around 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Is that true? If so, how do stores hold their temperature so low?
You can verify validity of an email like that, no issue there. Just don't use that as a factor authentication. Control over an email account should not trump passwords (what you know) or proper 2fa (what you have, typically, email can be 2fa like sms and like sms it is not a good choice). If a person proves they control an email account then you ask them for additional info like secret questions or other information configured during registration.

The grid could handle this better if more people used a variable rate electricity plans. This would incentive consumers to reduce peak usage, and also incentive producers to produce more electricity during peak demand. Fixed rate consumers could continue to pay a premium price compared to variable rate consumers.

I have my doubts but perhaps.

The thing is that hydrogen's buoyancy is so high that it lifts up above the dirigible very quickly once released. So fire risk isn't really that great in terms of burns.

The bigger problem is the "lack of buoyancy" of the rest of the dirigible (and the impact with the Earth affecting the passengers). So that's a bigger issue to address, engineering-wise.
I recall a closed-down toilet in Brighton. Some wag had added the sign "This toilet now closed, please piss in the street".
I was never suggesting that starting a render run at the last possible second to ensure the frame renders in time to be scanned out was actually a viable approach. Only that it was theoretically optimal.

But hardware changeout would not meaningfully affect people attempting such an approach, because it would obviously be based on actually timing how long a render pass took, adding a small buffer margin, and using that as the timing.

Which does mostly work, except when there is a rapid change in render time, like due to switching on a giant particle effect changing the camera from pointing at the ground to pointing out at the open world, getting close enough to an complex object to swap from a lower LOD mesh to a higher one, etc. These would likely cause meaningful lag spikes as the system tries to adapt.
