>The US Code's definition of a word won't affect most judges' perspective on an amendment

It's not the amendment that it defines though. It is defining members of a militia. Can the government not assign subjects to a militia? That is what this code does. Are you saying this is an illegal militia? Or not a militia at all? US Judges yield to chevron deference all the time including ATF's interpretations on restriction of 2A, why would they not respect US code to be able to define a militia?

The right of "the people" to keep and bear arms is not interpretation. It doesn't say right of the militia it says right of the people. It is not interpretation to note the right was not explicitly assigned to the militia.

Re "the people" as collective right: Does the right of the people to be secure in their persons (4th) or to petition their government (1st) not individual rights? Do I have to be a part of the militia or collective to assert 4th and 1st amendment rights?
Ask HN: Performance reviews – How do you deal with it?
Performance review is a topic I’m currently struggling with. I believe I’m fairly consistent with the quality of my work and I feel like I’ve been performing pretty well so far, but whenever we come around performance review times where I need to gather feedback from my peers and also give performance feedback for others, I have a hard time reasoning about it. Most of the time, I just feel like this is a waste of time.

This is the first $job I work at where this is taken seriously, so I’m not sure whether I’m just not experienced enough with this kind of process or this is indeed counter productive.

So I’m reaching out to the HN community and would like to hear your opinion about performance reviews. Is there something I’m missing in order to truly see the value of it?

Let me know your opinion. Cheers!

Several years ago, musician Thomas Dolby attempted a documentary about a lighthouse from his childhood which turned out to be influential in his work. However, he hadn't the expertise and ended up losing most of the audio that was outside because he didn't know how to mike it properly (which would be especially tough given the weather there).

So what did he do? He toured a special evening performance (The Invisible Lighthouse) with the video only in the background, him narrating, and then a helper, Blake Leyh (sound design for The Abyss and such) across the stage, providing live foley effects where appropriate, with just a handful of props, instruments, and the like.

Really fascinating to see in person.
My experience is that most translators actually do know basic HTML or can at least translate an english base string containing HTML into their own language without messing it up. CSS would of course not be present, just sematic HTML (or any other kind of "rich text" -- it wouldn't have to be HTML specifically).

I'd argue that one reason rich text translations are rare is because it's such a pain. Just look at any static documentation web site -- styling and links are everywhere. Of course I want that for non-static web sites/apps as well; links to navigate the app, side-bars or popovers with help text and documentation, more links, bulleted lists ...

I'm not sure I understand how your example prevents that HTML threat model you mention, unless the "link" function generates some kinds of magic placeholders that you then replace with HTML in another step you did not mention. If "link" generates an A tag, then you're already trusting the translation with HTML powers anyway (not that I find that much of a problem -- at least not with my approach where XSS via params is not possible).

Awesome build!

I always liked the Cube form factor. Having the internals so easily accessible is great design.

The LP-179 motherboard is interesting as well. I've been looking for a NUC replacement, but the newer models have lost the small form factor, and this looks like it might be a good alternative.

The Pico-ITX standard is not popular though. It was introduced by VIA way back in 2007, and hasn't had much industry traction. Case in point: I can't find a good case for it. Can someone recommend one? Or maybe I could retrofit my ancient 4"x4" NUC for it...

As a hiring manager, it's probably nothing you're doing wrong. There are so many applications for roles, that most get a cursory glance in the first instance. I try and do all the initial application reviews myself, and to look properly at each applicant however (a) I know I'm in a minority and (b) there's such variability in how candidates present themselves that despite my best efforts I go a bit blind after too many.

If it would help, I'd happily take a look at your resume and see if I can offer any advice on that would have worked on me (whether that advice is more universally useful I cannot tell you).

There are many reasons for rejecting applications, and the specifics about you probably aren't even in the top 5. Don't take it personally and play the numbers game (high volume of applications) or target hiring managers to get traction (otherwise you're likely to have your paperwork reviewes by a recruiter, agent or "hiring team" who are keyword matching at best).

I think it's reasonable to think Apple will iterate quickly on this.

Why? The iOS 15.x update history.

Lots and lots of privacy stuff in the point releases. (And accessibility stuff, they’ve been on a tear there.) They’re still in a monolithic mindset when it comes to the “big” apps, but they’re iterating faster on these sorts of things as the release cycle goes along.

I'd be happy to talk a bit about how we evaluated the model. The task we're performing is fundamentally long-form question answering (LFQA), and recent papers (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.06332.pdf) have shown that metrics such as ROUGE (used for the KITE benchmark) aren't great at evaluating the quality & truthfulness of generated answers. On our dataset, our approach is to use a combination of human evaluation (which is still arguably the most reliable metric used by the NLP research community to evaluate generated answer quality) and an entailment score (checking if a generated answer is consistent with a "ground truth" context document).

Every year I read a comment saying Wayland is standard, I try to switch to it and always regret. Literally most day to day functionality doesn't work, electron only recently added screen capture ability, and that's only for current window, not full screenshare or another window, so pair programming is pain, running Java or C# desktop programs is pain or impossible due to scaling issues. Vulkan/OpenGL programs can crash after restoring from minimised state... Switching from multiscreen(docked) to single screen(laptop) doesn't restore windows in their position, oh even dragging windows between monitors doesn't work well as the window on a new screen is different size, eg. just the top bar with the window content gone until minimized and maximized again

They mostly keep releasing the same car under different brands, so the cost for brand differentiation with respect to actual car production is pretty much the same as if it was a single brand. They even add non-Stellantis brands to it, e.g. Toyota (for example, see their European range of small, medium and large vans).

One of the things that Ford has, which GM and Chrysler did not, is the continued heavy involvement of the founding family. There are two classes of Ford stock, one for family and one for everyone else. The holders of the family shares have a way-outsized voting influence on the board, and can bring a great deal personal interest and scrutiny into how the company is run. Always remember whose name is on the side of the building.
This is because companies like AWS are able to perform Undifferentiated Heavy Lifting. There is no need for companies with undifferentiated workloads to keep investing to Capex that will depreciate as soon as they are stacked.
You make some good points. Foremost is underwear/knicks and toothbrushes (aka intimate objects). Those are a no-no. So there are some things that you should not be able to return for a refund (like medication).

But there is that new category of things with too little actual value to be worth processing like pillows and compressed mattresses (once you allow them to expand, you cannot compress them at home.)

But a lot if the problem in returnable objects where a return is not cost effective has to do with shipping costs. Shipping it back + processing costs cuts into profits and the resale value does not compensate adequately. Fortunately for them, the "returns" ratio don't negate overall profits.

That said, when it makes sense to me, I will buy from Amazon's warehouse deals --there are some good deals to be had.
///// Re: Bounty

From press release, “Bounties are doubled for qualifying findings in Lockdown Mode, up to a maximum of $2,000,000 — the highest maximum bounty payout in the industry.“

Appears Apple is not aware there was a $10 million bounty [1] paid out; unless when they say “by industry” they mean phones, not bug bounties.

If Apple really believed it was secure, then even a $100 million bounty shouldn’t be a concern; 2 million, while clearly high, is no longer enough to pull in the best bounty hunters, in my opinion.

///// Re: Naming

Name conflicts with existing terms both Apple and consumers use. Naming should be unique so it’s possible to Google the unique name for this feature and only get valid search results.

///// Re: iCloud

While iMessage features are limited, it is neither blocked, nor is iCloud — and both are known to being vulnerable to nation state demands on Apple due to iCloud not being end-to-end encrypted.

///// Re: iCloud end-to-end encrypt

If Apple was serious about the topic, they would have already rolled out end-to-end encrypt for iCloud years ago.

///// Re: Targeting

If Apple is logging if this feature is on and sending it back to Apple, it will result in targeting from nation states even if this feature is “invincible” - which I have no reason it is; basically, nation states demand list of users subject to its jurisdiction.

///// Re: Off vs Locked

“Wired connections with a computer or accessory are blocked when iPhone is locked.” — Why is this not the default with an opt-in? Further, at the point you’re turning on this features, when locking the phone it should explicitly tell the user of the risk of locking vs turning the phone off. Lastly, when you turn an iPhone off, it should really be off if set to this mode; if it is, and activity is detected, likely good sign something is going on.

Most linux software still uses gtk3 and the docs for gtk4 aren't even finished.

> 10 Modularize the monolith

A couple paragraphs on a couple of tools for the middle to late stages of such an effort is tantamount to "and then draw the rest of the fucking owl".

Decomposition is hard. It's doubly hard when you have coworkers who are addicted to the vast namespace of possibilities in the code and are reaching halfway across the codebase to grab data to do something and now those things can never be separated.

One of the best tools I know for breaking up a monolith is to start writing little command line debugging tools for these concerns. This exposes the decision making process, the dependency tree, and how they complicate each other. CLIs are much easier to run in a debugger than trying to spin up the application and step through some integration tests.

If you can't get feature parity between the running system and the CLI, then you aren't going to be able to reach feature parity running it in a microservice either. It's an easier milestone to reach, and it has applications to more immediate problems like trying to figure out what change just broke preprod.

I have things that will never be microservices that benefit from this. I have things that used to be microservices that didn't need to be, especially once you had a straightforward way to run the code without it.
Why not on the same device? Have a separate small simple SoC completely segregated from everything else, except shared battery, with 2 NICs and a physical switch to swap between using the firewall interface and the regular phone. Although this may make more sense for a regular computer plus router, with a cell phone there's multiple radios, not just a single simple IP connection...

> What does that observation have to do with anything?

About as much as the comment I replied to did, I suppose.

Since the paths were right as originally written, and since changing from backslash to forward slash doesn't remove the need to list both paths anyway, bringing up the other ways of writing the windows path seemed unnecessary.

But I was feeling charitable and thought that perhaps you read the original comment too quickly and assumed that the paths were the same except for the slash direction, which would give your comment a little more purpose, and which also gives my reply a little purpose as well.

If that wasn't the case then neither post has any purpose.

> This is also why secondhand goods in general are so cheap, and things like furniture may even have negative net value because they cost more to move than they are worth.

On the German equivalent to Craigs' List - Ebay Kleinanzeigen - IKEA furniture is much easier to sell than other furniture, even though IKEA furniture is cheap and quality is only "good enough". The reason, I think, is that used IKEA furniture comes closest to still being a standardized item. You can easily look up the dimensions online, you may already have or know the exact same item, you know what to enter into the search field [of Ebay Kleinanzeigen]. The overall buying experience might even be better than going to the IKEA store, as the furniture is already assembled and potentially closer to your home.

The "majority" of Indians watch and read from a small set of media outlets, most of them biased pro-government news media which feed only news showing the Indian government and authorities in a positive light while completely leaving out their problems. Basically, news confirming their biases.

Critical journalism is pretty much marginal and niche - these outlets are fewer because there are very little incentives. There are a few like NDTV and Dainik bhaskar, who routinely face sanctions by governmental bodies for not sticking to the governmental narrative.

Unfortunately Indian society specially due to how educational systems are structured do not encourage any questioning of authority and unable to point out criticisms specially in public

Yep. I agree. Acronyms are just a bit more cognitive load when reading a doc. Using an acronym when you're talking to someone in your direct team or who works directly with you, that's fine imo. If you and I are working on service Aaaaaa Bbbbbbb Cccccc then it's fine for us to both call it ABC since it's been directly referenced.

But when reading a doc, you need to know who the audience is and what the purpose of the doc is. I can't think of an audience or purpose though where using acronyms without being fully written out on the first use is beneficial. Using an acronym without stating what that acroynm is is just gibberish.
