Thanks for the feedback. I'm very sure all puzzles on the site are solvable. But a skip button makes total sense when one hits a deadend. I'll work it in when I have the time.

With a randomize button do you mean a complete reset to initial state? Or something like keep the locked tiles, reset the rest?
Kwai, TikTok’s biggest rival in South America, is “rewarding” domestic abuse
Terrible for screen readers too I'd assume. But maybe I'm underestimating their abilities.
Even worse, what actually happened was they sold the house to the previous owner without a chimney but then later installed it at no charge anyways. Then they decided that they wanted the chimney back after the house sold again.
Do you know what percentage of the male user base was active?
This has been the tune for many years now. They’ve botched deals, failed to set boundaries with “investors”, and went after easy money with strings attached. The founders were still learning the ropes of running this sort of operation. I think they would have benefited from someone to handle financials and someone else to handle community building and management.
At some point you need to realise you only need to go to work to make money and further your career. Then, self employment becomes a natural path to turn to. When you eventually find clients, at some point you'll realise selling tech, rather than coding it, is much more important. It's at that point that the day-to-day of your current client's businesses isn't important and finding more clients is all that matters.

The time-scale in which a tesla driver must react to it failing is 10s or so to under a second, not 30s.

If this happened anywhere that policy and law said it was okay to use autopilot then you would see changes in the policy, and fault laid on air traffic control at minimum, and then the scope in which autopilot could be used would be massively restricted.

If boeing had advertised the feature for use at low altitude in congested airspace and written the training with that in mind then most likely someone at boeing would be criminally at fault.
Given AWS has lambda, no fundamental reason starting workers should be slow.
Yes this is true and unfortunate but what is the relevant advice for hiring managers here? Ignore resumes altogether?

I worked at a FAANG company for a long time and now work at a startup. In general I have no desire to replicate their hiring but I would still consider the FAANG engineer resume line as a very strong positive signal.

I’m not trying to be elitist. I know that the best engineers I’ve ever met would not be recognizable by a simple resume screen. But even at a startup we get hundreds of resumes per open position, we do need some filtering criteria.

In general every HN discussion around hiring seems to go in the same circle. Absolutely nobody is happy with the status quo but also nobody has a working solution they can share that’s not riddled with personal biases.

> TikTok doesn't feel social at all

I agree entirely but I'd argue that this is a feature rather than a flaw. It's more like community TV than a place for dialog with social connections.

> It feels entirely too performative.

I think this depends greatly on the niches of TikTok that you have led yourself to. Some is definitely very performative and it can feel like you're on the receiving end of an endless stream of pitches for your attention. But other parts are far more laid-back. SynthTok, for example, is mostly just context-free synthesizer jams.
Hahaha ! My dad did mostly the same thing with his home builder. Except he went to their exhibition stand at some local event. He just stood calmly there, talking with every potential customer coming in to share his story with the company in front of the boss, who was in the stand. They tried to get the security to take him out but since he paid to enter, that he was calm and stayed nice, they did nothing.

Eventually, he got what he wanted to get : some 30k€ of construction work that weren’t estimated up front and that they tried to make him pay once back to the wall. And as a plus, the company’s boss took directly the management of the project.
I am dealing with such in different clients, fuck them, fuck these people.
Even worse, you are taken hostage to their sales team,what can you do? Break the contract? Penalties when you barely have a working solution? Bring the legal team? Yeah sure, good luck to have anything completed.
Rats.

If only we had figured out how to get them to switch from TikTok and WhatsApp to Signal I'm sure we'd be Gucci.

Almost no one uses Signal outside of your social bubble.
> The landlord does not have to renew

The source you provided is clear on this for the non-fixed term variants. Here is another source:

https://resourcehub.bakermckenzie.com/en/resources/global-co...

> What are the usual forms of leases?

> Ordinary leases (with statutory right of renewal except in certain instances)

> Fixed-term leases (with no right of renewal)

Note that you also characterized the law as providing an upper bound on lease terms, when actually it's the opposite:

> such as ground leases must be 30 years or more except a fixed-term ground lease, which must be 50 years or more

I disagree with most everything you say, and I am not sure further discussion would be productive.

Aside from the minutiae: I do not think there is any reasonable way except assessment to disentangle the value of land and improvements in a way that tracks land value in the short term, which is required for a land value tax to yield its substantial benefits.

>8FL (pronounced either "eight-eff-ell" or "eighth floor") is a livecoding musical instrument for the Renoise music tracker digital audio workstation. It works by opening up a Fennel REPL into a running Renoise application and providing a library of music-focused sequence operations that can control and populate the active song. It is intended for live performances but can be used for algorithmic composition in the studio as well.

Chores are the best bc you can meditate on ideas whilst closing a tangible todo item
Instagram’s incessant design tweaking, it’s algorithm adjustments which now give preferential treatment to “reels” to an absurd degree and the expansion of advertising on the feed (I’ve seen people write as much as 5x more) all positively reeks of desperate product managers. Instagram is going the same way as facebook it just has a bit further to go
Just speculating, but maybe people interpret "Master's degree in CS" as "dropped out of a Ph.D. program because it was too hard"?
I once submitted a bug fix for an obscure issue to valgrind. They asked for a test case, which I managed to provide, but I was a bit nervous as I couldn't immediately see how to fit in their test suite.

The response from Julian Seward was so nice it set a permanently high bar for me when random people I don't know report bugs on my projects!

We still run our entire testsuite under valgrind in CI. Amazing tool!

This is quite absurd complaint, is it not?
To me it seems that all social media platforms converge to some user hostile version of Reddit. You can argue that it got worse over time too, but it still is the platform that gives me most control over what I like to see.

The other model that seems to work well for users are obviously platforms like Signal/Matrix/Whatsapp.

I still use Valgrind memcheck for memory leak verification of a large piece of code I have developed, with a long end-to-end test.

Also, it has a nice integration with Eclipse which reflects the Valgrind memcheck output to the source files directly, enabling you to see where problems are rooted.

All in all, Valgrind is a great toolset.

P.S.: I was pronouncing Valgrind correctly! :)
Sorry about this. I sometimes place them accidentally too.

I have an idea of placing them with some kind of gesture - like touch and drag between tiles. That wouldn't interfere with tapping to rotate tiles. But on the other hand, I'm usually zoomed in on mobile and I use touch and drag to move around. Interfering with that would be bad too.

I'm open to ideas for better controls.
Not really.

If I go look at some 20TB hard drives, I see them promising 1.5 to 2.5PB of endurance.

On the other hand there are 4TB SSDs promising 5PB of endurance.

In full drive writes that's 75-125 vs. 1250.

Even if you ignore the hard drive warranty, I'd say the maximum reasonable workload is a constant write at 50% of the minimum transfer speed. At that speed you might get over 1000 writes, depending on drive size. It's a struggle to even beat the worst case of a mainstream SSD chosen for endurance.

A QLC SSD will only withstand a couple hundred writes, but even that's moderately competitive.
Have never worked for them, but I am wondering how much Sheryl Sandberg has kept this place sane.

Your point is 100% valid, so don't consider this a disagreement. It is merely that McDonalds has changed, and it annoys me.

I went to the one on El Camino near Oregon, and waited 7 minutes to have my order taken, and 14 minutes more for my food. Why?

Doordash, and others.

This is a pivot too, from restaurant to delivery as a primary business model.

But, just like facebook, mcdonalds
borked this. Its whole business model was fast food, and really the only reason I ever went there.

They could have added more cooks, and another cashier, keeping the responsiveness and speed of old, keeping their food fast for walkins.

But instead, drop the old, and now I can go to a real restaurant, order a burger, and get it made and on my table faster.

Good job McDonalds!
There is nothing for them to gain for doing so, but doing so means risks and further costs.

Hi Everyone, My name is Uche.

If you’re a developer, product designer or a startup founder, there’s a good chance you’ve had to build or design a data import feature at least once. Hopefully you never have to do it again! We’ve built a plug-and-play Javascript widget with a column matching and error resolution experience, and a backend dashboard for supporting your customers through import issues. You can basically just drop this into your app, and with a little configuration get 100% valid and structured data instead of messy, weirdly encoded, and difficult to parse CSV and XLS files.

Let us know what you think!
The burger is nearly always great, but occasionally it tastes strange. You are not allowed to see the ingredients and the staff suggest you might be able to improve the situation by re-wrapping and re-unwrapping the burger. This does nothing. The senior staff suggest leaving the burger in the fridge overnight and trying again in the morning. This does nothing. None of the staff actually know how to make a burger, but they will swap your strange burger for a refurbished burger for only $18.

Congrats! This is some amazing dedication =).
Signal brought e2e encryption to the masses in a form that was and is usable. From signal having it came whatsapp asking the signal devs to "do that for whatsapp" and a billion more got it.

That is no small thing. Bitch all you want but make sure when you do you compare it to the success of literally ever other attempt to bring e2e to the masses and then if I'm gonna be snarky maybe compare it to your own achievements.

It would have been fantastic if signal also achieved other things on top of what they did. Maybe. Knocking what they did? Forget it. Signal is an outstanding achievement and nothing else comes close. I will cheer you so, so hard if you beat it.
Shit. I was wrong. Thank you for sharing.

I can share mine. It's an ads retrieval system. Latency is very sensitive and it has to be efficient. To avoid mem allocations, special hashtables with fixed number of buckets (also open addressing) are used in multiple places in query processing. Default is 1000. However, there are cases that number of elements are only a handful. Then in this case, it fails to utilize the cache, hence slower.

The solution is to tune number of buckets from info derived from the pprof callgraph.

There were others too, like redundant serialization, etc. But this one is the most interesting.
Agents or officers?
I’ve found that doing a “commute” works really well.

When I used to be office based I would have a 45 min bike ride to get home, and after a stressful day I would find myself therapeutically going over the happenings of the day, cataloguing my thoughts, and generally allowing my mind to churn through it all.

The intensity of this would gradually decrease throughout the ride until the final 15-20 mins where I would have a clear mind and just be focused on riding.

I recreate this now that I’m remote by jumping on my bike as soon as I’m done for the day. Clears the mind and gets in my daily exercise all in one!

What to Do If You’re Not a Naturally Tenacious Person
You mentioned those other companies as well though. So if you’re trying to avoid all of them then you are backed in to a corner and no average person is ever going to do so. It really isn’t that complicated. I’m not asking for the government to audit the software. However I don’t think it is too much to ask for an actual support channel. It is insane for a company that touches almost ever person on earth in some way to be impossible to reach for support.

I don’t even think the problem is that the company is made of humans. The problem is that when the black box algorithm makes a decision that locks someone out of their account or some service/feature there is no recourse. The humans are the solution to the problem, but you can’t get them to look at it unless you have a platform to stand on. It’s disgusting.

>or double the ECC bits

Are you aware of even a single ssd product allowing user to reconfigure capacity outside of obtaining secret/proprietary non public manufacturer service software? The only technical way for a drive to automagically shrink size on its own is by starting to mark TRIM freed sectors as BAD and hoping OS running on top will be able to recognize this and transfer BAD status to the filesystem - thats a lot of assumptions. No such drive exists either, drives ship with spare capacity and existence of BAD sectors is treated as a catastrophic event signaling running out of backup NAND.
There's a certain, urm, unique element of gangs that disproportionately lives in large cities like NYC and those people like to keep their business as their business (even as victims of violence) and not police business. I'm not sure how much difference it makes but I'd find it to believe there's not a huge amount of gang crime that doesn't get reported, and disproportionally so.

I'm sure most of their deaths end up getting found out sooner or later, if they're someone who will be missed. Anything lesser probably ain't gonna be found out if it's gang on gang. This is the kind of stuff that you can kind of 'feel in the air' but can't prove because no gang is going to let Professor Squiggles nerd up on his sociology study during the next hit.

In Rust, types implement the Copy trait and the Drop (destructor) trait independently. Vec could easily implement Copy. It doesn't because copying a Vec requires an expensive heap allocation, which can surprise users when it happens implicitly.
