Formula E fascinates me by taking cues from video games and translating them into their races: (quoting their web site)

Introduced for the 2018/19 season was ATTACK MODE, which lets every driver pick up an extra hit of power at their own risk. To fire up ATTACK MODE, drivers will need to arm their car, drive off the racing line, and through the Activation Zone. As a reward for taking a slower line through the corner, they’ll be able to collect an extra 30kW of power. Drivers that secure the extra speed, can use it for a few laps when they want to race harder, giving them the edge to keep ahead of the competition.

On top of that, there's FANBOOST - your chance to impact the race. The five drivers who receive the highly-acclaimed FANBOOST – as voted for by you, the fans - are awarded a significant burst of power, which they can deploy in a five-second window during the second half of the race. You can vote to FANBOOST your favourite driver in the week prior to, and leading up to 15 minutes into, each race.
I’m unaware of any “free space” which doesn’t have a mass of quarks and gluons oscillating, so I’m not sure I follow. In fact, the mass of the proton arises from disrupting that typical quark-gluon oscillation.

I’m also unsure that’s true, even ignoring that issue:

I can shoot an electron hole by moving the chunk of metal it’s situated in, the same way I can shoot a proton by shooting the constituent quarks and gluons.

You can’t separate an electron hole from the metal, but you also can’t separate the proton from quarks and gluons.
I dunno, it seems to work equally well for me for larger decisions.

Dragonflies are gorgeus, my favourite bugs. I used to get hypnotized seeing them around my house as a child. But there were many mosquitos too.

That car is solidly in the 'blink and you've missed it' category. There is a recording of the record attempt with snippets of comments from people watching in person and it is essentially a multiple minutes long string of expletives.
I recall plenty of mosquitos on my porch in the haight area back in my day
Apparently fish are used quite often for this purpose:

> The name "Mosquitofish" was given because the fish eats mosquito larvae, and has been used more than any other fishes for the biological control of mosquitoes.

> Mosquitofish were introduced directly into ecosystems in many parts of the world as a biocontrol to lower mosquito populations which in turn negatively affected many other species in each distinct bioregion.[5] Mosquitofish in Australia are classified as a noxious pest and may have exacerbated the mosquito problem in many areas by outcompeting native invertebrate predators of mosquito larvae. Several counties in California distribute mosquitofish at no charge to residents with human-made fish ponds and pools as part of their mosquito abatement programs.[6][7][8] The fish are made available to residents only and are intended to be used solely on their own property, not introduced into natural habitat. On 24 February 2014, Chennai Corporation in India introduced western mosquitofish in 660 ponds to control the mosquito population in freshwater bodies.[9]

I came across this technique in a Coelho book, maybe The Alchemist, 20 years ago and I liked it. However, I have literally never been in a situation where I had some hidden desire I didn't know that was brought out by a coin flip.
Again, system vs. apps, though. My production servers don't have Slack, Spotify, GUIs, etc.
Debian is not a good distro for development. They have an intrusive package management philosophy that expects to be able to manage everything on the system, installing up to date things from a language package manager is harder on Debian than elsewhere.

(And, as another reply mentioned, you'll miss out on a lot of usability improvements to development tools by running stuff that's 2 years old or more)

> For things not in the Debian Stable we're using, such as if we need a bleeding-edge version of some key thing, and we have big security/reliability requirements... I manage non-Debian-packaged third-party dependencies in our own Git repo, and track and vet updates. This also means trying to minimize these dependencies, more than we would if we were pulling in 100 packages casually from a language-specific package manager, since each package is additional work.

Making it harder to have up-to-date dependencies is costing you far more than you're saving by not upgrading frequently.
Marijuana – What are other common names?
Other nations have renamed, to variable success. Myanmar comes to mind. Peking became Beijing (and, adoption of western alphabet was a whisker away, if Mao hadn't liked chinese ideograms enough, it was on the cards) overnight.

Australia is slowly adopting dual-use local Aboriginal dialect names for regions alongside western, give it 4 or 5 years and it will be normalised. It was a conscious decision of the ABC, it might be pilloried a bit by other media as is "welcome to country" but again, given time, it normalises.

NZ is 40+ years down the road on a gradualist approach. "6 months in a Leaky boat" put AoTeaRoa "on the map" for most westerners when Split Enz put it into a song. (I know there is much more substance behind this move, I just mean, in the populist sense of how people become attuned to the idea)

Flag changes are contentious. I wish laser-kiwi had got up, it is Boaty McBoatface good, for self-ridicule.
The startup I was working for went under at the end of May, so I've been putting my focus into a new UI component library I started at the beginning of the year. It's called Skeleton [1] and utilizes Svelte + Tailwind. Makes building UI for SvelteKit apps a breeze.

This reminds me of the CTO who accused me of lighting investor's money on fire for not routinely using a debugger. Never mind that I had to maintain everything from JEE, SQL, embedded, and web. So my time in each was 'infrequent'.

You didn't ask me, but I can shed some light, having earned a physics PhD in the early 90s, after doing an undergrad double major in math and physics.

The undergrad physics curriculum includes the standard college sequence of calculus and differential equations. Many physics students take more math than this, or today, probably some computer science. We took a "physics" course called "theoretical physics" that filled some gaps in the math sequence, most notably multivariate calculus in cylindrical and spherical coordinates, path integrals, and some stuff like that. Specific upper level physics courses also introduced math topics as needed.

Graduate coursework re-iterated the same "theoretical physics" course, but it was called "mathematical methods." We used a textbook by Arfken, that covered the same multivariate calculus plus vector and tensor math. Finding out what the current textbook du jour is for this course, and perusing the table of contents, would give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

I didn't go into scattering theory as a specialty, but we covered it in some of the other courses, and I remember doing difficult integrals and differential equations in spherical polar coordinates. The coursework quickly runs you out of problems that can be solved in closed form. I'd be shocked if the real work isn't done today with mostly numerical techniques.
Eric Schmidt was a great example of bringing in outside help to take the company to the next level.

Sheryl Sandberg is another example, probably more famous mostly because I think Schmidt almost seemed like he was a founder whereas Sheryl’s story is always about coming in as the Adult to be #2.
On the term I used to dial with my 300 baud modem on my Atari 800 you had to specify "ATDT" (tone) or "ATDP" (pulse) because rotary dialing was still much more common.

Rust presents a programmatic model to its users that is exceptionally broad. That model is not objectively more correct, or better, or whatever else, than the model presented by other languages. It provides different guarantees, and extracts different costs, and lifts different concerns into the domain of its users, compared to alternatives. Those particular costs and benefits make sense for certain use cases, and don't make sense for others.
Yep, those would be the people who don't care, who get teamed up with people who do, which I mentioned. Still not a conspiracy.

The Reformers aren't even the only group of people involved here. There's a lot of bad press for the F-35 that can be linked back to competing firms such as Boeing. Also, Russian media in particular likes to push stories that make the US look bad. Obviously there are crossovers (e.g. Pierre Sprey, one of the most notorious Reformers, made numerous appearances on RT).

> One aspect of being responsible for the entire stack is that we can give excellent support. It’s never some other company’s problem.

You aren't responsible for the entire stack though. You have Intel, Mellanox, Microsoft, Redhat, Oracle, SAP, Intersystems, etc.

And this type of "support" is surely a huge burden in terms of manpower and infrastructure required. You can't scale this and have the core developers on call solving customer problems. You could have a hypervisor architecture which is technically better and requires less support overhead than KVM for example, but can you really compete with Redhat for governments and enterprise white glove support just with that advantage?

The problem is once you're talking a real solution, the system management and provisioning and BMC and partitioning stuff is not the really hard part.

Plug in and power on another rack and the systems show up in the management console and you can partition and provision them, sure. IBM and other "enterprise" vendors have that. They're clunky but they have procedure manuals and training and they just work for the most part.

It's what you actually do with those racks is the difficult thing. Enterprise isn't as smooth or scalable as "hyperscale" here. It's a lot of old crufty legacy in house and ISV software.
Great job! HW preconfigured for less technical users is a great need. The auto backup and tunneling solution fill the gaps still existing in other solutions. I don't know how you managed to wrangle the RPI supply. I will recommend this to one of my friends.
you know what your answer is like? the same like asking for "where can I find water?" when in a dessert and you answer with "the Ocean". Technically correct, but totally missing the point.

In theory a good leader does exactly this. I once heard leadership defined as creating consensus. It is only when two VPs can’t make a decision does the good CxO step in to make a judgement call based on the arguments of all sides.

Even Steve Jobs talked about losing arguments at Apple and not getting his way. He hated it, but he recognized he maybe didn’t always know best and trusted people to make the right call if they could defend their rationale.

Too many leaders think their job is to be a decider, when it is really their job is to hire people they trust to make most decisions and then they make a few critical ones.
Yes, Kube is a mistake for many. I'm a consultant who specialises in Kube, but actually spends most of my time decommissioning it and migrating to other solutions.

Throwaway4good was using the comparison of iPhones to PCs to allude that Apple has more money available to develop silicon, yet the pre-built PC market is a tiny subset of where money is made using semiconductors.

That's why it's a misleading claim.

I didn't expect I would have to elaborate this beyond what I said. My bad.
A bit yeah though they went from 20-inch M16s at the beginning of the GWOT to 14.5 or less as the main weapon so there was space to slap a suppressor on but you'd give up the maneuverability gains of losing that length. The NGSW winner is pretty short barreled before the suppressor is added and it required particularly spicy (high pressure) ammo to still be effective at that short of a length.
I'm not so confident about nuclear. Nuclear power generation is a very high end technology, where humankind instead of climbing the learning curve, somehow managed to go in the opposite direction. However, Elon Musk has demonstrated that you can take a technology where costs are going up, and make it do a 180, and take down costs by a factor of 10 and then 100. Can nuclear power generation get to be 100 times cheaper? I think so.

Do we absolutely need nuclear energy to combat climate change? I don't think so.

I do think a solution could be based on huge arrays of solar panels in countries like Australia, Mexico, Morroco or South Africa, and shipments of liquefied hydrogen to countries like Germany, China, Japan or Canada. The US can be quite self-sufficient, with solar panels in California, Nevada, Arizona, and wind turbines in Texas, Oklahoma and the rest of the wind corridor, and pipes of hydrogen from one state to another. I can even see the US exporting liquefied hydrogen as a natural succession from exporting LNG now.

Hi I'm David, self taught developer looking for profissional challenges using GraphQL, gRPC or more low level. Currently staff engineer with great experience in finance (fintechs) and e-commerce.
Attack mode I find really interesting, from a racecraft (and yeah, also from a game design) perspective, since it actually presents a choice with real tradeoffs: the driver has to completely sacrifice a corner, choosing to take the longest/slowest line through that corner, in order to gain a temporary boost in engine wattage, which they can strategically deploy later on. Very cool.

Fan boost is... uninteresting. It's bringing elements from game shows, not video games, and rewards the drivers who spend the most time and effort on influencer behavior. This is excusable, I suppose, for the sake of increasing the sport's profile. But it definitely doesn't help make the racing any better or more entertaining for people who are racing fans, rather than fans of a specific driver.
For me it should be intuitive. My test is "Will I accept either outcome if I flip a coin?". Is so, flip the coin. If not, pick the option that prevents me from flipping a coin.
I just tested this. I only get a laughable 8-10mbps on my Switch. Haha. I don’t know why I thought it was so much faster.
Yeah, but slower decision making may also create conflict with others. For my career choice, I struggled to decide for a very long time, and switched decision after knowing additional information (salary raise, scholarship), which drived some people mad.

I'm not sure which decision is better, considering they are so different and probably are not comparable. I just chose to do a postgraduate degree that seems more interesting, and leaves me more options later, rather than going to the industry which can make more money.

Ask HN: Uber Dark Patterns
Is it me or they still have their old DNA?

Uber eats makes it extremely difficult to track down customer support and then tells you: "You are currently number 10+ in line." 10+? Like 15 or 10000?

Same for Uber taxies, they show you a car right away when you open to book, then it can stay waiting for a driver to accept forever. Keeps the UI "dynamic" zooming in and out, trying to fake it that something is happening.

These are just two examples.

"The market" can be a very broad range.

Especially when you get into 20+ years of software engineering experience. It's not "you versus a bunch of others" - it's me and maybe one other candidate.

Salary ranges are huge. Exceptions are made all the time.

And when you're a contractor, the deal making is even more flexible (as is my case).

> Given the wild swings in points-voting seen ITT, it seems perhaps MIC reptiles and other lovers of arcane jargon have more time on their hands than we mere subjects have.

I'd point out that probably the majority of "MIC reptiles" would be opposed to the F35. After all, there are more defense contractors who build competitors to the F35 than there are defense contractors who build the F35. For instance, I distinctly remember watching a "report" on the F35 produces by a Canadian network--I think CBC but I'm not sure--which was a fairly obvious PR hit by Boeing, given that half of the report was basically a sales pitch by Boeing "experts" talking about how great the Super Hornet is.
