I just can't think well on interesting problems while someone's talking to someone behind, someone at my face at the cubicle trying to hit a conversation. Hence, WFH.

Don't like team because finding good team 10xs everything but bad team 1/10xs everything.

It's way more likely the team is a misfit in real world unless of course there are no hiring constraints due to elitism.
The sounds generated by this are very impressive - it is an actual simulation of the entire combustion process.

Silver City was a cool town, used to be a great restaurant there, "Curious Kumquat". The "big ditch" is a very pretty trail to walk, and there seemed to be lots of artists studios and galleries.

I also enjoyed Cloudcroft. Between all the biker bars there we found an excellent book store to peruse.

Taos/El Prado/Arroyo Hondo is a beautiful area along the Rio Grande (lookup "black rock hot spring"). There's a pub out there, off the grid, with a patio looking out to the mountains and live music broadcast from the solar powered radio station, "KTAOS"
Personally, I've not experienced tamilians helping each other in the US a lot. But I see way more cooperation and camraderie amongst Gujarati, Hindi, Malayali and Telugu speaking people. It's nice to see. I might be wrong due to sampling bias.
Craftsman was bought by Black & Decker from Sears in 2017, but Sears kept a limited license to produce their own products under that brand name which it sells in their stores (I believe TTI is the actual manufacturer of Sears Craftsman power tools).

Craftsman = "V20"

Sears Craftsman = "20V"

Different incompatible brands, it's a bit deceptive.

A software architect who doesn't code anymore is worse than useless in all of my experience. They're flimflam salespeople who build PowerPoints full of buzzwords that aren't even necessary, and then delegate everything to developers who actually code to try to build their Frankenstein contraptions.

>you can't jailbreak "an" Apple

You can, because any fluent English speaker will understand that you are referring to some type of mobile phone or tablet device manufactured by Apple (which implicitly excludes Macbook, iMac, etc. devices that do not need to be jailbroken). It is not necessary to specify exact model numbers and so on.

Keep in mind the source material was a tweet and not a media release or technical documentation where that level of detail would be appropriate. The use of colloquialisms is fine in casual communication.

> and you can't order "a" McDonald's.

Because no one would say "I'm going to order a McDonald's" without specifying some particular item. But if you are ordering McDonald's in general you would drop the "a", e.g. if you were with a group of people you might say "I'm ordering McDonald's, does anyone want anything?", you wouldn't say "I'm ordering a McDonald's cheeseburger, does anyone want anything?" as it is far more clumsy and the other people involved will neither care or need to know about what you are ordering for yourself.

Out of curiosity, is English an acquired language for you? I have seen ESL speakers with similar problems when informal / day-to-day use of the language differs from the more formal version they were taught.

> If I was to dabble in sci-fi art and made something that fit in the art style of Steward Cowley … do I need to credit the art?

Probably, yes.

Again, probably, but nobody is likely to care if you’re not actually selling your work.

> Even the ones that I don't remember more than a "I saw this print at a comic art show once..."

Then that’s not the prompt you should be starting with if your goal is to produce an original work.

> How original does my own work have to be before it isn't a mashup of stolen images that I half remember?

How original does it have to be before it’s not plagiarism?

Now, remove your ability for individual creativity, such that you cannot come up with an original idea. All you can do is plagiarize.

That’s the difference, here. This isn’t an AI trained to have creative thought, a genuine understanding of what it’s making, and original ideas. It’s an AI trained to regurgitate mashups of plagiarized works based on weighted correlation between the prompt and the (also plagiarized) descriptions of the works it’s regurgitating.

> Would you live in a house built entirely by junior carpenters in their late 20s who built one or two houses that barely stood up?

Well carpenters don't build houses by themselves. You might be talking about a framer, whose job is definitely important, but not really more important than most other of the trades needed to build a house. But actually by their late 20s a framer can have a decade of experience, more than enough to become a journeyman and frame with one or two assistants. It depends on when they apprenticed and became journeymen, where they learned the trade, and what their contracting and business ethics are.

> Would you drive cars designed and built by junior engineers?

Designers don't really build cars, but junior engineers are involved. Typically not leading themselves, though, as the handful of big car manufacturers can hire senior engineers to oversee them, and screwing up the launch of a car won't make it easy for you to work for one of the few competitors. People who make custom cars have probably been doing it for years as a hobby, and often aren't engineers at all.

In the non-software world, if you build something, there is a direct tangible result of that thing coming into existence. Like, if you build a cabinet, the worst case that happens is the shelves fall apart, so you don't need a whole lot of guarantees as a consumer. If you're building a car, there's a shit-ton of regulations (today, anyway) and potential lawsuits. If you're building a house, there's the code, there's 30 different specialized trades, all kinds of restrictions on who can do what and when and how, and a hundred government inspections.

But like in any trade, you can pass a test and still be a lying cheating piece of shit. (If you're a government contractor it's hard to tell if you're the former or incompetent) There is no magic spell or development lifecycle that stops shitty things from being shitty, or makes things automatically good. But sometimes there are regulations that enforce due diligence, and sometimes a contractor earns a good reputation through their results and word of mouth.

Sadly, in the software world, there are practically no regulations, no [serious] trade groups, no apprenticeships, no unions, no threat of class-actions, and very very rarely any substantive real-world consequence to shame a company into hiring competent workers. Bottom line: if you work somewhere and you are not satisfied or don't feel the work is challenging enough, get better and move on. The only way to escape monotony is to raise yourself up.
The Australia Choice magazine does pretty hefty stress tests. No tear downs though.
Realizing how often people exaggerate their own abilities and working in a "good" company seeing how Senior+ devs operate, I no longer trust any claim of someones skill unless it's by someone who I already trust or there is sufficient context and evidence to support the claim.

Too many people/companies claiming to be "world class" or whatever when they are above average at best.

I have no knowledge of Lafayette (Not American) and no context or understanding what he did, so my default judgement is that his skill is exaggerated.

Someone else mentioned RDS and I agree with that too.

I understand why, technically speaking, glibc doesn't support static linking (and I also think that it's bad design). What I don't understand is how this makes it "incompatible with anything". The glibc-specific APIs, sure, they do - to the extent the apps actually use them (which, judging by the intersection of e.g. Debian and FreeBSD package repos, is not exactly common). But how does denying the ability to link statically promote this goal?
I agree in general: I am someone who can and does use map and compass, but I routinely use GPS for convenience and verification (except when orienteering.) In so doing, I have noticed that my phone apps can fail to update to the relevant part of the map in areas of weak signal. Anyone relying on GPS should be familiar enough with their equipment to ensure it has the necessary maps available before departure.

Nicely done. It is rare to see a comment that encompasses so many cultural practices that many people cannot see. Usually you get these black or white comments on casteism that fail to take the real culture that is running the operations vs “he is not in my caste i dont like him”
IMHO, I think Hawaii would be a good place to do this. One issue with Hawaii for people used to living in other latitudes is that the sun basically sets at 6:00 PM every day, all year, so if you worked a nine to five job there you'd be getting off right before the sun went down. However, if you got up at 4:00 AM and worked in sync with people on the mainland until early afternoon, then you could get off and have a few hours of daylight to hit the beach or whatever else.

The second sentence has nothing to do with the first and is universally true. Everyone, regardless of the state they are currently in or their current trajectory, should invest in the future of engineering.

The first statement is an extraordinary claim for which extraordinary proof is required (especially as a direct response to a post explaining how the opposite is true).
> this mid-sized town dream exists

Of course, but you should figure out what specifically you're looking for beyond what you've described.

Do you care about tax implications? Are you planning to rent or own a home? Do you have friends or family in any of these areas?

> ... and/or how we’d go about finding it

Others in this thread have some good search ideas but personally I'd start at the top and narrow it down from there.

If you go to https://www.naco.org/ and click on `county explorer` you can filter the map on a county level across a bunch of different dimensions.

I'd definitely limit your choice to places with high internet speeds, good education, growing population, high scoring infrastructure, etc.

Just keep pruning down until you find a few you think you'd like.

>You can't effectively "diversify" by buying other cryptos. To truly diversify, you have to buy completely different assets.

The context was crypto. I was talking about diversifying your crypto, surely the readers here aren't as pedantically naive as to confuse diversifying crypto holdings with a fully diversified basket of different products. And of course owning different coins is diversification: owning multiple assets instead of just one is practically textbook example of increasing diversification.

Policy is political and will change if the situation changes. If China was the only one in the world with nukes, of course they'd use them.

China's warheads are also generally higher yield - they're intended for counter-city ops, not counter-force.

The idea with the currently deployed warheads is that even after losses to a hostile first strike, they can still respond and cause unacceptable losses in the enemy. How many nukes does it take to cause 10% fatalities in the USSR? How many in China? And what percentage of those nukes are destroyed before launch, and how many make it though enemy defences to detonate where they should?

And of course, nukes decay.
>But the relationship isn't well correlated.

what relationship are you inferring? Some states simply have higher tax burdens than others.
I use DynamoDB, Lambda, Fargate, and a few other services for a side business. I don't want to spend my time fiddling around with a database or EC2 instances. I'm able to run everything I need for under $100 a month without a lot of overhead, which I think is a good value. This may change as the business grows.

I can't complain about DynamoDB or Lambda pricing. Fargate is a little expensive for what we are running, but the infrastructure management tradeoff still makes it worthwhile.
Very few use cases that involve deliberately avoiding static linking these days imo.
I have :) I am Tamil brahmin Iyer myself and I've spent quite a bit of time at the "agraharams". There are some brahmins who are extremely orthodox. They won't eat anything that grows under the ground, share utensils or even physically touch anyone they perceive to be a meat eater. This is however something that you usually observe with people living in temple adjacent communities or in very rural areas with religious duties. The rest are fairly urbanized so you don't see this normally.

I was just trying to give the benefit of the doubt to the family you ate with. But I now know whats going on here.
Just a heads up that your apparent definition of "few" may be a bit confusing for others.

I think beyond tear-downs, it needs to be influential enough to guilt companies into going the right thing. Consumers shouldn't need to browse a detailed tear-down of an object to guess whether something has been made to last or not.
If it keeps the original email then the DKIM signature from the sending domain will still be intact. As people have pointed out, it might be necessary to keep a copy of the public keys of all the senders in order to perform that validation.

Frustratingly, Exchange breaks this possibility immediately, because it decomposes the email into components. It does preserve and validate some fancier signature schemes, but those are rarely used and have their own problems.

I’ve tried this app a few times over the last few years, I really wanted to like it.

My main issue with Curio across all versions has been that all the defaults for colors, fonts, layout, etc. are just hideous, garish, horribly outdated, in very poor taste.

You can add all kinds of elements such as shapes, graphs, lists, etc., and there are different preset styles for each element, but everything looks like something from Office 97. Every single color is wrong.

You can see this in the screenshots and the videos on the front page. There isn’t a single element on any of the screens that doesn’t have at least one thing wrong with it, like too dark drop shadows, too thick outlines, too thin fonts, arbitrary color choices that don’t match.

There’s a ton of thought and polish going into the UX, but as great as it is to use, it’s just way too easy to make something distractingly ugly, and almost impossible to make something even remotely elegant.
That’s pretty short for actual education on those kinds of processes, sounds like they have found the raw engineering talent they need at US universities. They then send them for a short stint in Taiwan to learn “the TSMC way” and then send them back.
Quick self-reply:

My make-audit tool only reports a few errors, but they are very general and apply to all rules. This is probably the best way to compare the tools. Here are the make-audit reports:

* Error: Target TARGET : unreported prerequisites: SET : The make recipe for creating TARGET is reading from the prerequisites in SET, but the makefile fails to report them as dependencies. You may want to add SET to the prerequisites of TARGET.

* Error: Target TARGET : claimed but unused prerequisites: SET : The make recipe for creating TARGET claims that it depends on SET, but the items in SET were never read. You may want to remove SET from the prerequisites of TARGET.

* Error: Target TARGET : unreported target: SET The make recipe for updating TARGET also modifies the files in SET but this is not reported. The easy solution is to use GNU make's grouped targets feature that it added in version 4.3, e.g., TARGET SET &: PREREQUISITES. There are alternative solutions.

* Error: Target TARGET : unmodified reported target: SET The make recipe for updating TARGET does not appear to actually write to TARGET. You may need to add a missing command to actually modify TARGET.
... they could, you know, not collect the data, or if they do only keep it in an encrypted format, and protect the privacy of their consumers?

Crazy thought i guess.
Even if the user doesn't turn on a master password, having the key in a predictable place on an encrypted volume with appropriate access permissions is still far more secure than sticky notes on the monitor. Contrary to the OP link's statement, it isn't enough for the attacker to get access to the user's system, they have to get access to the user's account.

And if the organization in question isn't using Bitlocker or FileVault or some other encryption, browser password stores are way down the list of security worries.
Client IP is city level geolocation. When correlated with user ID and timestamp it gives city level travel history.

Replace "academic and professional qualifications" with "competence-based merit", in order to avoid committing credentialism which can become yet another form of arbitrary clique-like discrimination.
Unit tests allow complex and nontrivial code to be modified without introducing nasty bugs. A lot of software that I've seen that has no unit tests and runs well got there because people slaved away cleaning up nasty bugs that would have been caught with unit tests. I cannot understand how people think unit tests aren't worth doing and I can only assume these people don't know how to prove their code works, which is quite worrying.
This is from August 2016, and see also the follow-ups by the same author (who is here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=commandlinefan):

Stops at Volume 3. Reading all three volumes in 30–45 minutes a day over ~3 years means about 500–800 hours I guess. I actually think that's pretty fast; I can only do an average of about 2 pages an hour (not counting skimming around, which is fun too), but what little I've read has been a lot of fun.

IMO for anyone looking to dip into Knuth these days it may be more fun to start with Volume 4A (and it was announced recently that Volume 4B is coming out in October this year!)

People keep saying that, and I guess it must be rails making things like Auth, seeting up an ORM, sessions, etc easy right?

Because ruby itself, I find to not be a productive language. The lack of types means that the discoverability of methods is poor (especially when combined with the fact that gems can modify standard library classes, and rails takes full advantage of this); the lack of types also means I have a slower debug cycle because I'm bound to make silly mistakes (indexing with symbols into a hash with string keys, or typos).

So again, is it really rails that makes producing MVPs easy, or is it ruby, the language?
Good old fusion! Under such pressure. Does JWST have to result in a commercial application?
Sure, encrypting the passwords is better, but to steal all the stored unencrypted password the attacker would need access to the users computer.

If they have that access you have bigger problems on your hand. Yes, this can lead to privilege escalation, but for the vast majority of people access to the desktop is enough for that anyway.

If you need better security, you probably already are using more advanced measures.
The warning I would make about PA is about their road system, which is tremendously, comically, confusing (every road has at least a name and a number) and leads to driving taking so much longer than you would think.

Lancaster PA: drive from Park City Mall to the center of Lancaster City, which is the Greist Building, the tallest in the area (has many telecom antennas there) and is near the Fulton Opera House. On the map, it shows 3.5 miles as you pass by Long's Park. Unless it is in the middle of the night, you will be lucky to make it in less than 20 minutes.
