> Some of you might want to know how to develop your skills to do well in such an interview. [---] The easiest way is to crank up some non-trivial side projects that you care about.

Contribute to existing open source! The next PR you help with is likely in a code base very different from the previous one you saw. Plus, you'll have someone give feedback on what you write.
Out of curiosity, are you funding it?

I've been funding it (a small amount monthly) for a long time now. I wish it had existed about 15 years ago in college when I had lots of time on my hands for toying with game making.
> they may not have realized what a propaganda machine they were creating

Do you also despise news organisations, magazines, and so on? Or are they deliberately propaganda, so it’s excusable?
Critical phone components (or rather, their drivers and/or firmware) are not open however. I would like a platform with x86-level standardization but competitive power efficiency a lot. I don’t see it happening though. It’s not down to the phone makers, but to the component suppliers—like Qualcomm.
> I have, which makes me feel confident in stating that it's a language that didn't have to exist

If you have, you should be aware of the history of the project and then I am perplexed why you would make this claim.

They tried using multiple different languages until finally settled for developing GDScript. It is not a decision they just made willy-nilly but something they decided after using different languages did not work out as they hoped it would.

> doesn't have a healthy ecosystem backing

What ecosystem? The ecosystem is Godot and GDScript is an integral part of it.

> in the end makes people doubt that the language they would actually be productive in is a first class citizen for the engine vendors

If you had proper experience with Godot you would know that GDScript is very well liked in the community and people are actually very critical about C# integration, seeing it as more of a distraction and waste of resources. (Of course people that don't like GDScript might simply not stay in the Godot community, so I admit some self selecting bias might be going it.)

The C# integration was only done because Microsoft paid them to do it.
Jan 6 texts missing for Trump DHS head, deputy
I had both of those. I think I got the most use out of the 701. I took that thing everywhere and used it as my primary laptop. You can probably find pictures of me using it to give conference talks, sitting around at hackathons coding (with a HHKB attached), etc. I used Debian, and even had working WiFi.

The 901 I bought later since it seemed like more specs would be better, it was big and cheap feeling. I do remember getting a WiMax stick for it and reading RSS feeds in Google Reader on my commute. That was so novel at the time!
Thanks.

I agree with the limitations you mentioned about .Net, but who knows maybe they will switch to a more optimized AOT compilation at some point.

I know TeaVM, but my bet is more on Google side for Java support, the task is too huge for a single person OSS project.

Hopefully JetBrains will be more vocal about Kotlin/Wasm later this year and next year, when it will be more usable with GC support shipped in Chrome stable.
We know Winter is Coming.

There are gas terminals, if they could unload gas carrier after gas carrier for gas to be stored in the various European storage sites wouldn’t that go some way to easing any issues?

I guess the pipelines from Russia have far greater capacity than the several LNG terminals off loading.
H265 also already has support for alpha channel, so no need to wait.
Mostly economy of scale dropped flyaway cost of it down to 4th gen level ($80M)

What surprises me is do many countries accepting the high maintenance/flight hour cost. I’d also want something that can operate out of a crappy back road supported by a few conscripts, a few months into a conflict. Or do patrol missions in peacetime for cheap. F-35 ain’t that. But perhaps a mix is also expensive.
Pixel 6 and Samsung S22, both 5 years of updates
Unless you only write excel formulas or strictly do GUI development, I think you should know this. It is also a great phone screening question.
Since you want to share your discoveries I suggest you get as good as you can at writing. The only things I know that have a strong impact on that are reading critically, writing, editing and getting feedback on your writing.

To point at this post, I have a hard time following it. I don't see what the title has to do with any of it besides you being a software engineer. The lessons came from the dog shelter, not engineering. Then the issue (you want to share your discoveries but don't know how) is something engineers are notoriously not good at.

You could also choose any medium besides writing. Coaching, podcasts, videos, etc.
The study is interesting, however I think Spotify's algoritms and user interface in combination with its promotional tools for publishers and labels are interfering with the results. These are specifically designed to make the users make certain choices. I still get loads of recommandations on music I never will listen to in the app. These are not strange and obscure music suggestions, neither are they promotion of artists and music within the broad spectrum of genres I listen to. They are in large promotion of the already top promoted artists in the world. Their search is not very good for finding new and interesting music either. In my experience you need to have very specific knowledge of what to look for, to get good results. So, when Spotify do this kind of research I would be very interested in how they take into consideration the effect their own activity have on their users behaviour? In my personal experience they constantly try to make me less explorational. I prefer Last.fm for exploring.

Is the issue that companies are using Matrix, or that Matrix is acting so manipulatively.

Is the USA a “captured” state?
> My impression is that the UK government is in dire need of good news, so I felt sceptical reading this.

Seems like it - their prime minister was up in a fighter jet during the week doing barrel rolls for the cameras, in a clear photo-op to distract from his usual crass nonsense.
Android manufacturers, unlike Apple, don't really earn much via the software - so there is really no reason for costly updates which keeps the customers from buying the next phone..
I miss 3D Touch too! Great feature but awkwardly integrated and promoted
That was discontinued after just under two months due to poor reviews and some sort of regulatory issue in japan.
Exactly, it depends fully on the individual. We are all completely unique and need a different approach (which each person needs to find on their own).

So everything whats out there is _bullshit_ ! :) It does __not__ work!!

Nobody wants to hear about it. What we do need to do is listen. We are all each others teachers.
Then you should wait for Google and Mozilla. It's much harder (impossible) due to patent situation.
Dead spiders reanimated as creepy necrobots
Yes. I have not tried it in a while, but it's live eval when binding was better than Budibase, and it has some components Budibase does not (report generator, scanner, signature).

Retools UX is different from Budibase. Budibase separates the dev process into 3 stages; data, design, automate - where Retool is sort of like visual basic (everything in one). We used Visual Basic a lot in previous roles and we decided we could build something uniquely better.

One other thing Budibase has is a public API, which allows you to use Budibase as a backend (with different frontends including Next js, Svelte). It's also great for inter-operability.

With Retool, you must write JS to build an internal tool. With Budibase, writing code is optional. Our main goal with Budibase is to make it as accessible and flexible as possible. Open source is a great driver of this.

Once again, it's been a while since I touched Retool and it is a very solid platform and I am sure there are more things it provides over BB.

Budibase is tackling the same problem in a different way, from being open source and a different UX, to barrier to entry. We feel this is a better strategy in the long-run.

> Exploration spikes around Christmas, for example, during which people may be influenced to seek out season-specific music.

For my case, exploration does spike around Christmas, but this is due to all the "best albums of the year" lists coming out.

I get more than my fill of Christmas music involuntarily, no need to "discover" more.
I had one of those. It was amazing to carry around. I changed the default screen that was so small. But Microsoft entering the scene simply ruined it all.

We used multiple of those in the robotics laboratory. There was a scene of people putting components and was great for adding sensors and so on with minimal effort.

My current laptop is an Apple Air M2. Samsung just preferred Microsoft money than competing. I believe it was the intention from the start.
> Why not use Python, why, why not use? I don't know, haxe.

Neither Python nor Haxe (presumably) have built-in types for vectors, quaternions, and matrices. Quite nice convenience features. Though I'd rather write in a lot of other languages than GDscript.
Any gif that claims to be showing 60fps is simply untrue due to the fact that no web browser out there right now supports displaying gifs higher than 50fps.

Only if you limit yourself to displaying the gif in an <img /> tag. You can parse the frames yourself and render them with a <canvas> at a faster rate using browser's requestAnimationFrame (which sync's to the refresh rate of your display.)
The distributed consistency algorithm is a basic problem of a distributed system. What needs to be resolved is how a distributed system achieves strong consistency on a value (resolution), so as to resolve the high availability problem of the system. Paxos is the most important distributed consistency algorithm, and many people use it as a synonym of distributed consistency protocols.

The Paxos theory has been put forward for many years and products using Paxos and its variant protocols are emerging one after another. However, there are few industrial-grade third-party independent libraries and open-source projects. Common open-source products that refer to the Paxos protocol include ZooKeeper and etcd. The protocol does not support high-throughput state machine replication and does not provide an independent third-party library for other systems to quickly access.

Therefore, the DCF feature is designed and implemented to support the distributed strong consistency scenario involved in openGauss.
I can see how it could be hard on HN specifically, just due to the audience. But I'd love to read your stuff! Please share some links/content if you have any. Also happy to connect, I'm mainly active on Twitter @MatthiasGabrie6
Exactly in the same boat.
Did a thorough research of the entire market, and pixel 6 seemed like the least problematic choice - so I got it three weeks ago.

Are you happy with the p6 so far?
I'm baffled how you think a senior can just sense the codebase without reading and effectively explain it even to a junior, who as you just described can barely understand the code. I think you are describing a topcoder who is working with a small, well written codebase and is familiar with the domain and stack, most of which in my experience is quite rare.
How much of this is due to the "depth" of the UK financial markets?

I can see in Denmark that a lot of succesful tech startups end up IPOing in the US or UK. For example Just Eat or Unity.
D) Are highly unlikely to support relocking for new keys in secure boot, or are limited to a very small number of models.

The attacks sold to governments fighting such evils as journalists and pro-democracy youth haven't yet been shown to include persistency across reboots, AFAIK, but relatively small percentages of politically active people using insecure boot could encourage them to build those features to more passively monitor a sub-sample as it is relatively easy and makes their work less detectable.
It rounds to the nearest frame and has smoothness issues.

If you've ever looked at leftist progressive commentators, they just as often complain of big money in politics for the democrats, or even for leftist causes.
Another 13 Mini user here and I love it. Upgraded from a 6s and I was shocked to see the size inflation. First thing I want from my phone is for it to comfortably fit into my pocket. Also single hand usage. The actual screen estate is pretty close to the 6s so I don't feel like I've lost anything.

Have to disagree. Many things are not that clear cut. Decentralization will never hurt. You can also have your own “Facts are facts” entry xD
Great writing. I just feel a new design is needed. I feel the constant movement between straight edges and curved is annoying and costly for the end user.
Hundred percent this!

Short story: went camping with my buddy, his kid and my daughter. Kids at the time were the same age. We go to leave, in seperate cars, I pull up next to him, his kid is in the back staring at his iPad already, we'd not even left and had a 2hr drive ahead of us.

My daughter asks if she can have her iPad or my phone. No. I said. She starts telling me how she will be bored and trying to convince me to give her a device. Nope stare out the window, be bored, come up with stuff in your head.

15 minutes in, shes knocked out asleep.

I tell my kids all the time, be bored, its good for you. They will please and beg. 5 minutes later they will be singing, wrestling, drawing, reading or just blankly staring into the abyss on their ceiling, mind wandering and doing what it needs to do.

Some time later we found out my buddies kid had anxiety so bad he was pulling out his own hair and biting his nails. He was for lack of a better words addicted to his devices. They worked on it and he seems better now.

Be bored.

Its good for you.
But what made the likes of Newton/Einstein/Beethoven etc. stand out is how much they achieved given the limitations of the times they lived in. The reason I picked those three is all of them were known for being able to devote huge amounts of dedicated time to their specialty (Newton especially, who from memory developed most of the ideas in Principia while under effective lockdown during a smallpox outbreak. But unlike those of us under lockdown in recent years, there were no electronic gadgets distracting him either.)
This is why I opened this thread. Such a critical feature for hardware to have these days.
Right, I completely forgot about the "stackness" of scope on the implementation side. Sides, actually, because both compile time and run time tend to be stacks. If course they'd still be stacks, just with an unavailable marker attached to the "undeclared".

Fortunately, these days languages that are imperative at their core pick up "functional spillover" like that kotlin let seem to solve that nuisance-grade problem of a dangling `foo` temp just fine.

(the kotlin let is basically a list transform applied to a single instance, without all the pointless ceremony of wrapping as an Optional. I wanted to like scala more than kotlin, but I've come to respect kotlin a lot, for striking a balance between "language designer high" and the pragmatic mundane that must never be allowed full reign or else we get another groovy)
I don’t think you’re wrong but that’s part of the trade off?

If you grant stocks that means the company makes you part of the investor class subject to investor class level regulation. That leads to having investor class level benefits if the company succeeds.

If you’re implying that the convoluted equity packages companies offer as standard to employees now is better for them, then why aren’t founders or investors taking similar deals? I think that’s really the heart of the issue. Founders and investors are taking one type of deal, but then telling their employees they need to take a deal so bad that they would be insulted if you offered it to them.
> goes to the rentier that owns the premises

Was looking at some premium clothing with my partner at the primest spot in town, discounted from 300 euros to 100 when I realised all the margins go to the property owner…

Most of peoples wages go to pay rents too…
I wanted to try budibase in order to evaluate and compare it without hosting it myself, is that something I can do for free on the cloud product?
Running Zenfone 8 with official builds by LineageOS 19.1 (Android 12) for about 6 months now, very flawless and updates almost every Friday.

Unfortunately I do not know anything about the camera modules. I only know that it works.
Just a friendly interjection:

"hacker" does not necessarily imply "software engineering" or even "engineering". Especially us old-school folks understand "hacking" more as "curious, out-of-the-box thinking and exploring", which may just as well relate to engineering as it may relate to social interactions or cooking the perfect cup of coffee.
Very difficult to fire a FTE. Imagine you take a risk on someone and they don't work out. It's extremely expensive and time consuming to exit that poor performer. This isn't even mentioning the huge bureaucratic state that is tuned towards large enterprises and not small business - be prepared for arbitrary and conflicting regulations and taxes once the proper government agencies learn of your existence.
There is strong evidence out there that some spiritual things are real, more than just being a placebo/make-believe. There is something else going on, contrary to the accepted belief that the brain is a biological computer.

https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/ is one of a few places that applies scientific method (pretty much hacker/engineering mindset) to such phenomena. Maybe get in touch with such places?
yeah best way is to create a new gmail account for every phone. Or a phone only email which has the associated photos.

I was holding out with my 6s until a month ago but finally jumped ship to a 13 mini. It's a great upgrade. Unfortunately staying on an old iOS version isn't possible since apps will start requiring iOS 16 at some point.
Glad to see the reasonable form factor and headphones jack combination. I ve stuck with my S10 for same reasons

Turing Complete is maybe more a tutorial in digital logic coming with its own simulator than a game.

It is designed to feel like a puzzle game and is distributed on Steam but that's only the surface...

Building your own CPU and programming it in your own assembly language is exactly what TC promises on the tin.

The "game" discord server may be worth checking also.
I did S7 > Pixel > S20 and while there's still a few default apps (I counted 9) I'm not using, the bloatware is less invasive than it used to be.
My stock apps live in a Samsung folder I never open and haven't bothered me once since I got it.
FaceID works great but I miss TouchID for one unique reason : with Touch ID, the Apple Pay UX is pure genius : just take your phone in your pocket with the thumb on the button. Place it on top of the payment terminal. You are done.

With Touch ID you have to prepare the phone by unlocking it before making the payment. Which means that you have to stare at your phone while you are interacting with the merchant. It’s odd and unnatural.

Well, it’s not that bad neither really important but the initial UX was wonderful in its objectification of the phone as a convenient payment method.

(And don’t talk me about Apple Watch, payment experience is terribly unnatural as it means making weird moves with your wrist).
The 901 was the sweet spot (if you got it with the 6600 battery)

Samensize as thr 701 but bigger screen. Powerful enough to rin Eclipse (i kid you not, did a lpt of development on that thing), massive battery life.

It was a great machine, rugged, took a hell of a beating.
No the CDC recommendations are based on junk science and fail to account for the latest medical research. Sure you can survive on that much protein, but it's not sufficient for optimal performance. Look at what winning athletes usually eat.

It seems like that phone will get 2 major updates (Android version upgrades?) and 2 years of security updates. Nothing more than any other brand will give you.

Man it's been a while since I read someone comparing raw specs. Android phones always looked better on paper but sucked compared to the iPhone experience in every way. I don't even say this as an Apple user because I tried so many times to switch to Android when I looked at the specs myself.

Even before the iPhone I looked at the brand new 2G, no GPS, 240p screen, 1Mpx camera iPhone and laughed from my "old" 3G/VGA/GPS/2Mpx Windows Phone. Until I tried the iPhone and there was no going back.
And yet as a Canadian (from Ontario), I find it shocking to go to the States and see all the flags and Jesus billboards.
This is also somewhat of an issue in the U.K. with lots of companies being sold to US firms like Google. Being acquired often feels much better than going public.
Map showing birthplaces of "notable people" around the world
I own the older Zenfone 6 from 2019, i.e. 3 years old.

I has received frequently updates until now, including the change of the major version of Android, from the one with which the phone had been initially delivered.
Apple is one of the few companies - with more money than God, or at least the Vatican - that I’m willing to assume might do something on “principle” rather than “to maximize profits”.

The fact that their principles might happen to be at-least-mostly-revenue-neutral is another discussion, though, I suppose.
Sadly, it won't happen because the telecommunications regulator is in bed with the carriers.

Some countries do have Communications Ombudsmen that can be effective. In those countries, just the information that you are speaking to the Company about "Case no. 999999" is enough to pull those companies into line. Just by having a case number, they know that the Ombudsman has definitely been brought in to the situation. The Ombudsman's office also has the direct phone numbers of the upper-level complaints echelons of the Company's customer service officers, so you don't get obstructed by the normal customer service centre.

I've only had to use the Ombudsman once. I was quite impressed by the action it produced.
Because "human capital" (no matter how dehumanizing it sounds) is the best one, people with money want to invest in people with great minds. Otherwise investors's money will evaporate because of for example inflation. Also, throwing couple of millions into a growing company means "i want to be part of it and take back some revenue hoping it'll be huge".
Combination of MS and Intel.

MS offered a massive discount on windows XP for netbooks as they saw the Linus writing on the wall.

Intel choked of supply for people who wanted to build more fully feature netbooks - thus the constrained specs on things like memory)
