I am sponsored by my company to complete a UX certificate for my continued learning goal. The beautiful thing about it is since my company is aware of my learning, not only that they support me financially but also positively look for opportunities that I can apply what I learn to real-life projects. That helps me learn and improve my UX mindset significantly over the time. So I would say taking UX courses, reading related articles, books, resources are important but the key tip is searching for projects (personal or professional) to apply what you learn as soon as possible. It should never be too soon or “I don’t think I am ready yet”. You got it.

Both nature and science have sections written by journalists and they are not prestigious. Only the actual research articles carry any weight.

To be honest I see these journals as getting to full of themselves and are turning into any other member of the American media.
While companies aren't even pretending to pay more, I think pretending to work will continue.
It was either a dolphin or Keanu Reeves...

Seriously Keanu Reeves ins't a bad choice for a technological automaton representation, being Johnny Mnemonic and Neo and all. Though I guess dolphins in general are much more conciliatory on IPs, trademark and copyrights issues.

We need to put Keanu Reeves in the public domain!
There should be no need for leverage. Counsel should be advising they use the courts as intended to cause compliance with contracts and laws that should be enforced and respected. If your only remedy is causing embarrassment, that's a sign that the system is badly broken.

This is like saying "Don't bother contacting support, raise a ruckus on Twitter or contact an insider if you have a problem with <insert tech company>."

Yes, maybe maybe public embarrassment, Twitter, and insiders are the most practical, effective ways of resolving issues today, but that's not the way it should be.
Less lobbying focus (though probably still a lot)?

Protectionism (big tech is USA born)?

Elites are old money not new?

No tax income (probably this)?
Because big tech is mainly foreign (American) companies to them.
> Nothing curtails corporate power. It's also why the focus of politics is on being divisive on social issues. This is to distract the voters and prevent class solidarity of the working class.

I think you’re misdiagnosing the cause. Nearly everyone I know—my circle skews highly educated and well compensated—cares more about social issues than economic ones. It’s telling that, in this crowd, Clarence Thomas gets exponentially more hate for the ways in which he’s a typical older Black man from a working class background (his views on social issues) than for the ways in which he starkly departs from that background (his economic libertarianism).

While these folks would deny they’re acting in their class interest, the effect is identical. Working class people, being less educated and less cosmopolitan, are naturally going to be more socially conservative. By making politics more about “rights” and “justice” than “wages” and “government services” you’re naturally going to divide the working class and have a powerful club to use against them.

The most striking thing: Family thought prison could actually help. I don't know but to me, prison is the last thing I want my family to go through. Even if it is to get clean or whatever. You don't want them to have a criminal record.

Yes it's just by "some guy", the journalism section is not the cream of the crop that we expect from the scientific articles. Frankly, I think they will spoil their reputations going into the newspaper game too far rather than sticking to science.
Trying to engage with this comment in good faith is very difficult. The best case I can come up with is you are engaging in significant hyperbole to push forward some point you are passionate about. Congress has passed nearly a hundred bills in the last year alone. We don’t hear about them because Congress agrees and does it job is not interesting or newsworthy. We do hear nonstop about the divisive issues that the parties are split on and can’t find common ground. There is no half abortion or half gun seizure. I quickly glanced at those hundred bills and didn’t see much in the way of expanding police power or military conquest of Europe and Asia.
This is true, though it is also true that people pretended to work at the office.

I’m more concerned about the inverse. Employees OVER working at home because they are unable or unwilling to stop.
Among all languages, APL has the highest ratio of times its founding document is posted to Hacker News to lines of code written.

I don't mean this to be terribly dismissive: I've always been "tangentially fascinated", like I think a lot of people are, by APL and Forth. But I've never properly used it because ultimately it's in conflict with how I think programs should be written: with types, abstraction, a focus on readability etc.
> otherwise how does one replace a remote

There’s a pairing mode you put the car in and it accepts the new keyfob and probably records it’s seed / counter / etc at that point.
> should be no need for leverage

Lawsuits are part of a negotiation. Everyone wins if the parties can settle out of court. In most lawsuits, the court is a bogeyman: you’re posturing to show you’ll win and that the other side should capitulate before wasting everyone’s time and embarrassing itself in a public forum.

> counsel should be advising they use the courts

Counsel should recommend what works. New York’s courts work. But they work slowly.

> like saying "Don't bother contacting support, raise a ruckus on Twitter or contact an insider

No, it’s saying consider doing all those things.
Not really. They only support the capital-owning class when the capital-owning class supports them in return.

And that’s how this will turn out. If Big Tech decides to back the current politicians? They’ll go easy on them.

Depends what industry you're in. Given HN audience I would guess there's a fair chance you're an engineer or in some tech role, in which case beyond Upwork there are many more bespoke sites that either let you bid on roles/projects (there's a company that uses the blockchain and is like a more upscale Upwork but the name escapes me now and the old classic TopTal) and some other ones that are a little more high-end that vet projects for you (e.g. Tribe.AI- disclaimer, I used to work with them and a friend runs the company)

Not sure I follow.

The scenario we're positing is that perhaps, in fully-solved chess, white is actually in zugzwang, where every initial move is actually bad for them.

If there were some way for white to hand the first move to black, then clearly this would be the best solution.

But all the take-back solutions (e.g. move the knight forward and back again) actually give black two moves, which is a different situation.

And the stutter-step solution of white moving a pawn only one space instead of two doesn't work because that's simply refuting the premise that white is in zugzwang.

Up until yesterday I didn't know Zendesk was written in Rails. They had a talk at RailsConf 2022[0] where they went over how they handle a billion requests a day with mostly a Rails monolith.

I wonder why they're not brought up more when talking about large Rails apps. Is there an interesting (read: bad) history with them and Ruby?

It was, for a while. It could have been much much more but I was just a nerdy engineer with no idea of marketing and full of idealism in my head.

This is already an problem, since people forget to stop working. Happened to me multiple times that i worked over 10 hours.
We'll need to do some serious geo engineering on purpose to reverse all the geo engineering we've been doing by accident. Current efforts are all about stopping the problem from getting worse. We reducing the pace at which co2 emissions grow. But they are still growing, not shrinking. But the point is that, unless we do some geo engineering, those levels are not coming down by themselves any time soon.
Tell HN: You can't create a top folder named “Calendar” in Office365 Outlook
My employer is moving from GMail to Office365, so I'm trying to recreate my folder structure in Outlook. The first folder I tried to create was "Calendar". But creating it didn't work. No error message, it simply didn't get created. At first I thought creating folders doesn't work, but then I tried creating folders with other names, and they worked. Also, creating this folder inside another folder works, but not at the top-level.

It turns out you can't create a top-level folder called "Calendar", or whatever you call "Calendar" in the language you have set for the UI. If the UI language is Polish e.g., then you can create "Calendar", but not "Kalendarz".

I just thought it's a funny bug, so I'm sharing it here.
I think Givewell is excellent if your goal is to donate to charities that have been vetted for maximum impact (measured in terms of cost-effectiveness of dollars donated to saving lives) but if you are looking for a charity in a specific sector outside of one they have judged, they're not the best for that. But if you're a founder by chance, founderspledge.com supports people in figuring out where to donate based on their interests (and also publishes some of their research).

Yes that is true but I'm responding to the up stream comment saying "you are required to learn it if you are studying CS". There is a common perception that computer science degrees are about learning things like C++ but my experience is that most emphasise more abstract skills like data structures, algorithms, complexity, formal program design, etc.
> Too many apologists keep totting the line that capitalism as practiced in the US is A-OK and then deflect with "what's the alternative?"

I don't think as many people say that as you think.

I think most people want better regulation and control, but perhaps done incrementally (with haste) and with a feedback circuit.

Most alternatives that have been "hard-stop" switched to lead to a lot more destruction and problems than we currently have now
They could use a different texbook that doesn't pull this kind of bs or even not use a textbook at all. I never needed a single textbook for University (CS degree in Germany) - lectures typically had the professor's manuscript that you could buy for pretty much cost-to-print or just download as a PDF somewhere or you could just take notes in lectures. Exercise questions were provided directly and for most courses not even part of the final grade anyway.

Making students pay a high tuition fee and then still making them buy additional material needed for the course is insane. It really doesn't have to be this way.
I think it’s worse because they are forced to use SharePoint for basic functions like storing and sharing files. SharePoint is weird in that it shouldn’t be so bad, it’s just a wiki, but somehow it is bad.

Teams reusing SharePoint instead of just using some simple file store means that basic operations like “let’s store some files for this team and let people collaborate” becomes buggy and weird.

> Cinebench is a terrible CPU benchmark. Geekbench is far better.

People do not run a single benchmark tool when comparing hardware, they use multiple. Each with their own well defined characteristics and make their own conclusions depending on what matters to them.

Cinebench is part of almost every hardware review for a good reason: its characteristics (CPU only, not dependent on cache, memory speeds nor timings) are well understood and provide valuable information on a specific aspect of the hardware.

There is a pretty well worn playbook in the PE world: Cut engineering and support, offshore what you can, and take a knife to suppliers. This can be hard for growth oriented management teams to pull off.

Companies like IBM and CA do this too with the added financial benefit of being able to centralize most staff functions (finance, HR, etc) and leverage existing low cost locations.

Of course this hurts existing customers. In reality it’s moving some of the surplus value generated by the company from the customers and employees back to the shareholders.

It’s too complex issue to just say “It’s all good” or “It’s all bad.”

Will AI target software dev jobs next? A new way to predict how close we are
OpenAI estimates that Codex (what powers Github’s Copilot) can already complete 37% of coding tasks. DeepMind’s non-commercial AlphaCode is estimated to be 59% better at coding competitions than Codex. But how close are we to automation? There is a huge demand for developer jobs currently. In light of OpenAI’s DALLE-2 commercialization announcement yesterday, here is a new cross-disciplinary approach to determine how close we are to automation.

After reading the article how close, or far, do you think we are from software development jobs getting automated?
