I totally understand the desire to keep a record of the past, and space is cheap so why not. I used to be a big "digital hoarder", virtually never deleting anything that might be a bit interesting. But a couple years back I deleted most, though not all of the "archive" of past me. It was a great decision that I don't regret. The important things you did will still surface from time to time. It's also always cool to accidentally find a photobucket or google docs account you forget you had and look through it for 10 minutes. But I just don't find value in intentionally preserving a digital record of myself, and instead allow serendipity to poke my nostalgia centers on occasion. Sorry for the violating the spirit of the thread with a contrarian opinion. My point is just that I've done the digital hoarding thing for years and it turned out to not have value, for me.
Ask HN: What are some good ways to gain real-world software project experience?
I am a software newbie who wants to become a full-time software professional. The biggest challenge I have faced is the lack of real-world project experience. Boot camps, online courses, freelancing, and GitHub contributions are some of the options I can pursue. Any comments on the pros and cons of each of the solutions above?

This is brutally selfish populism, totally lacking self awareness.

It's none of your business what other people want to do within their communities, and it's ridiculous that you think you have the right to tell them - but worse - to disparage and gaslight others for not wanting to change their lives dramatically to suit your little agenda and lifestyle choices?

Of course - SF vs. NY is mostly a matter of choice.

From my purview - NY is a giant pile of hot concrete and garbage, I would never live there for any reason. It's laughable that anyone would contemplate spending such vast sums to live in a 'tiny box' even for a shorter 'shorter commute'. But that's just me.

In my (previous) years of living in SF, I've never come across a 'syringe' or 'shit' - moreover, that's entirely a function of civic break down and kind of besides the point - it's another, separate issue.

SF is otherwise a lovely city that I have no interest in living in anymore, but if they don't want to build skyscrapers it's entirely their prerogative.

I probably could not afford to live there now, much like I can't afford to live many places, that's just reality. Other, richer people want to live there. Oh well. There are innumerable nice places where I, and others, can live and be just as prosperous.
Interesting that unvaccinated are contagious for less time than vaccinated individuals.
while I don't have a blog, I have a tiktok (@zevulous) that has garnered over 240k followers and has led to a few interesting opportunities such as speaking at a few online events and the occasional sponsorship. It's also given me a fair amount of social interaction. It functions somewhat as a blog for me, although I also do a newsletter (https://thisiscool.beehiiv.com/) that is more for me as a personal project, even though it doesn't give me much in terms of opportunities.

The whole point of the phrase "kicking the can down the road" is that it's not something you should do forever.

As difficult as it was to live through, I'm supportive of what was done here in Melbourne to suppress the virus in 2020-21 when the variants were more severe and the vaccines weren't around. It's what enabled our fatality rate to be kept to one of the lowest in the world.

It doesn't make sense to keep doing it now, and doing so could make the problem worse. In a complex system these issues aren't without tradeoffs.

Luckily our health officials agree so we're all good.

(Btw saying “if you read my comment” is poor conduct here as I’m sure you know.)
Can't this easily be resolved by just using feature branches? Make your small PRs into the feature branch but then you still have the ability to compare the branch to main as a whole and get that wider context
> lost in court

If I think a law is flawed, then proof of violation is not going to change my mind!

> You are objecting to a patent holder defending their rights under the patent, taking deliberate and knowing violators of the patent to court.

For this very specific type of violation.

I personally think certain kinds of copyright related to distribution are garbage and should not exist at all. I think it's bad if a company sues over them, even if the party being sued is very guilty.

> That position is bullshit.

Criticizing a law is not bullshit.

Criticizing a lawsuit over a violation you think isn't worth it, even if the violation is extremely blatant, is not bullshit either.

I'm not even saying the initial comment is on the correct side, just that it's a reasonable position.
Whoa, I didn't even know about `git grep`. Sure enough, `man git-grep` has a bunch of relevant info! Thanks for sharing this.

I feel like there are a billion features in git (like this) that I don't know about.
No, you're way off. Maybe my reaction is extreme, but my problem isn't. What's yucky is that you're trying to convince people that reading five tutorials on k8s will make them productive. No, the problem, and I'll repeat it since you conveniently skipped over it, k8s requires 10+ engineers to maintain and manage, full time.

_I_ don't have 10 engineers and thus it's the wrong tool for me and I've decided to not invest in it.
Outright incitement to violence against others is easy to recognize as speech not worth tolerating.

But here it gets interesting: hate speech wrapped up as "opinions, ideas, and beliefs". At the risk of downvotes (what ev er), I posit that Fox News engages in high level hate speech (not every minute but enough for it to count).

Case in point: Tucker Carlson's "The Great Replacement" agenda. It's thinly veiled white nationalism -- basically arguing that white people are under attack from non-whites. Yes, it gets discussed by him as "what if" and "how come" but it has an agenda that is prepared to be enforced by violence by those who are spooked by it.

I don't have an answer for how to deal with this, but it is in the end hate speech and is not healthy for society as a whole.
Indeed. In 1986, Knuth was exclusively using the SAIL DEC10, running the WAITS OS. This environment limited him to approximately half a megabyte of data space (heap plus stack plus globals), and half a megabyte of code space. All statically linked, so all library and runtime stuff had to fit.

Also of note is that most CPUs of the day didn't execute instructions orders of magnitude faster than bandwidth to main memory, as is the case today; it was early days for worrying about making algorithms "cache aware". So, for instance, there was no big penalty for "pointer chasing" in linked lists as there is today. Additionally, the severe memory size limits affected various time vs. space tradeoffs in algorithm design.
> We knew this a year ago.

Really? July of 2021 both President Biden and Dr. Fauci we’re making the claim on television that the vaccines “prevented” people from catching Covid.

If it was known a year ago that this was not true, but they said it anyway…do you believe that makes their case for vaccines today more persuasive?

More likely—“Current studies” at that time lead them to “know, or at least strongly believe” that the vaccines did prevent contracting the virus.

Either they were lying, or they were wrong. Either one of those reasons is enough for me to apply a fair dose of skepticism and pragmatism to the topic.

Perhaps you just have more faith than I do that this time things are different.
You probably already know this: This has less to do with India or Indians and more to do with the fact that outsourcing a whole project tends to go to low bidders and hiring is held at a high bar. This is just self selection. Pay top dollar and you’ll get really good results with outsourcing as well.

>> ASCII: it’s okay to only support ASCII for the whitespace handling and lowercase operation

That's a somewhat specific list -- at least I didn't read that as a general "the program can assume that the input is only ASCII".

But then, the author seems to have accepted solutions that crash on non-UTF8 sequences and ones that byte-compare them, so probably either behavior was meant to be fine. I just don't get that from this rule.
I taught myself Commodore BASIC and 6502 Assembly including writing a BBS program between 1982-1985.

I kept literally nothing from that time or probably even a decade after.

Literally hundreds of thousands of lines of code.
It is more about being unblocked than however long it takes for the PR to be merged in even if it is really fast. It is not always possible to pair/mod on a change.

Getting folks to quickly review PRs is difficult as doing so breaks the flow state of other people and results in constant thrashing and context switching between the work they are doing are reviewing PRs.

Even if the team is committed to quickly reviewing PRs, you are always going to have times when a bunch of people are in a meeting, while a couple are at lunch and a couple are knee deep in another issue and no one can look at your PRs for hours and you need to keep yourself unblocked.

> Was it the part where they locked workers inside of factories producing goods for America to make sure that the Americans got their shipments in spite of the Covid-0 policy?

They did this because it would cause their economy to collapse and there are social repercussions against the CCP if that were to happen. Had 0 to do with the US or the West or any sort of altruism. They also welded doors of apartments shut so people inside couldn't leave during the initial lock downs. China has a much more robust class system than the US and the lower class/rural people are taken advantage of at an astounding rate because they aren't the right kind of Chinese.

> Or was it how China is actually upholding most sanctions against Russia, despite giving less than 0 f's about Ukraine?

China is essentially the sole reason Russia is still occupying Ukraine and they have been skirting sanctions left and right; even going as far as partnering with Russia on a new inter-banking system. They've also used the Ukrainin War as a way to test the waters in the South China Sea and step up their territorial claims over international waters in violation of international law.

> hard to debug

When I started using Docker four years ago that was my biggest issue. When builds fail, I can't just pick up where it left to expect the environment and try stuff out (unless I purposely build an image with a ton of layers).

The Alpha wave occurred in Jan 2021, did happen in Israel, and at the time they only had ~10% fully vaccinated (~25% partially).

> Overturning it will mean that the Legislature and Governor make the laws, not the agencies.

In a country where Congress has been deadlocked for decades and a large number of states are racing to push the absolute limits of what they can take in corporate bribes and push moral crusades that'll be forgotten 5 years from now but have lifelong consequences, that's going to be an absolute disaster and it's mindblowing that it's being cheered on.

Some states might be better off. A few are trying to shoot their heads off and force others to do it with them.

Even though I am not in the target group, I believe that the progress on Windows support is an important step to further the language by widening the user base.
I wish for crystal to become more widespread adopted after having done some experiments with the Lucky framework and a self-written PoC AWS Lambda runtime [1] (incredibly fast cold start and processing time, combined with strict event parsing).

Not Legal Advice.

Once your request is verified by Lexis-Nexus, they should have kicked off multiple work streams (disclosure, limited purpose, deletion) which may resolve in different orders, but must resolve in 'x' days, where 'x' is related to the duration defined by law, plus any extra extensions they may have notified you of, this may mean that the entire request could reasonably take upwards of 90 days, depending on the specific scenario. Note that some data may qualify as exempt from deletion requests, when they are required by other laws (such as gun sale records) the specifics are very context dependent.

If, after that time you believe that Lexus-Nexus did not comply with the request, then they may be in violation. Currently, for California residents, that means you can file a formal complaint with the CA Attorney General (https://oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-busine...).

Note that this process will change on January 1st 2023 when the amendments of the CPRA will go into effect and enforcement authority shifts to the California Privacy Protection Agency (https://cppa.ca.gov/). This will also subject Lexis-Nexus to additional requirements and more strict definitions of terms such as 'sale'.

Well not literally kill off but regulate it away so it’s no longer profitable.

A large chunk of the problems we currently see with social media, privacy, etc are incentivised by advertising. You remove that and those problems are significantly reduced - people won’t pay for a social network that intentionally prioritises outrage or fake/misleading news over their friends’ content for example - the only reason it happens right now is because advertising pays for it.

The seeming inevitability of power dichotomies and the abuse that tends to follow.

Different levels of power is unavoidable. It is part of existence. Those differences may balance out when dealing with two individuals, or groups, but typically there is a more powerful and a less powerful.

And typically the more powerful group takes advantage of the situation. That’s long been advantageous but the advantage has also long become a hindrance on real progress. A parasitic replacement for it.

It doesn’t take humans for this to arise, but humans have spent millennia institutionalizing it in numerous forms.

“How to stop being animals” is too flippant, and not terribly accurate.

Regardless, our society and history is so permeated with this concept / construct, and with attempts to enshrine it as unshakeable truth of being, that “doing something different” is incredibly difficult. For many reasons.

It is so pervasive that it is borderline… fractal? The power structures showing institutionalized abuse are parts of power structures that… abuse of power differences all the way down.

More angles for explaining why than you can shake a stick at. Not a lot of broad “why not,” it is usually focused on some localized example.

That’s an attempt at describing it.
EVs aren't for everyone, especially if you have long range requirements. My daily work commute is under 6 miles round trip.

That said, 20% degradation after 10 years isn't a huge deal for me. I'm sure in that time, battery replace/refurbishment will be much cheaper. There is a company in Oregan that will replace a 40kwh Leaf pack for $7000 .

Previous released papers have found that the earlier Omicron variants did not provide protection from middle variants. (Original omicron vs BA1/2). So some bA.2 to BA4/5 immunity protection would be a new behavior.

You don't have to stop playing. Kasparov (59) still plays here and there and he's still pretty great. Anand is 52 and is 13th in the world.

Chess requires a crazy amount of time invested and you're likely going to stop, and definitely slow, making gains at a certain age. Lots of people play chess for reasons other than becoming the world champion (since obviously most won't).

That said I play online chess too much and it's sort of a waste of time ;)
When applying for PhDs in the UK from elsewhere in the EU it was hard to get any response to the applications. So I booked a cheap flight to London and contacted the head professors of the departments I was interested in:

I believe it made all the difference, and got me through the door (with a lesser CV).
> But from the same report: “ Currently available data from emergency-use listed COVID-19 vaccines show that vaccines provide higher levels of protection than SARS-CoV-2 infection against severe disease outcomes

[Now that we have them] the vaccines are indeed effective at protecting against severe outcomes. Even before the vaccines, and against this particular virus, being young and healthy is and always was also exceptionally effective:

"People of different ages have been exposed to dramatically differing risks. Fatalities among school-children have been remarkably low. Taking women aged 30–34 as an example, around 1 in 70,000 died from Covid over the 9 peak weeks of the epidemic. Since over 80% of these had pre-existing medical conditions, we estimate that a healthy women in this age-group had less than a 1 in 350,000 risk of dying from Covid, around 1/4 of the normal risk of an accidental death over this period"[0]

(from May 2020): "Coronavirus risk for young is 'staggeringly low', says UK's top statistician [..] “If we look at under 25s, there're 17 million of them in the country where we have 26 deaths recorded,” he said, suggesting a similar risk would be seen in “a couple of days” in general accidents and sudden deaths.
However, he said the risk for the over 90s was 10,000 times as high, with more than one per cent of over 90s having died from Covid-19."[1]
