I would expect the Tesla Gen 3 Wall Charger to pay attention to grid conditions. (Many utilities already partner with Tesla or a third party to offer discounted EV charging, so this kind of capability must exist.)
Fair point, not sure why you're being downvoted...

I would never dream to equate proprietary documentation to Nazi war crimes. That's without question. I just used this because, like so often, in questions about these war crimes, there is no real argument to be made for "the other side" so it clearly shows the line of reasoning for breaking with a legal convention in specific cases. You said it yourself: "it's something so intrinsically evil that you can't rely on pure formality." Which is exactly the point. Protecting the perpetrator just because there's also a value in relying on their actions being legal at the time just doesn't outweigh the cost of letting them get away with such monstrosities.

A more recent and less evil example would actually be the Cum-Ex scandal. One question was whether money would have to be given back, given that what happened might be technically-legal but blatantly, and expressly against the spirit/intention of the law. But that whole thing is still being fought out so the conclusion is less clear cut.
I think you're likely overly paranoid, not evil. And I also think you probably ought to consider what else it is you're giving cover to by using a mixer, and not be surprised if the services you use get shut down with great prejudice.
I think it’s quite clear: when I search for something, what I want to see, it’s people arguing with each other on my topic of search, and I want to read their various arguments, and make my decision.

This is why I like HN and artisan forums so much, or even Reddit.

Google could do just one thing - prioritize giving out the discussions of real people. But they just don’t wanna do it apparently
It's very meaningful when you want the best bang for the buck.
I think it was Judd Apatow who said “You have to give yourself permission for the first draft to be shit.”

The hardest part of making anything is getting to the minimal viable product. Editing and refining and upgrading aren’t necessarily easy, but they are typically less daunting than staring at a blank page that you need to fill.
You can have all the privacy you want when you aren't acting in public with millions of people.
It’s striking to me that Hacker News has a significant audience of flat earthers. Don’t look up, right? Let’s be clear, human caused climate change is very real. Rigorous science confirms this and CO2 + methane levels are now driving very visible and catastrophic weather all over the world.
It's just another piece in how Apple sabotaged the web.
A better title would have been: Linux performance under Apple M2 vs AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U.
I'm not suggesting being 'combative about it', I just don't want to work somewhere that doesn't use SVC, I'd have to really want to work there for other reasons to learn subversion/mecurial/whatever (though maybe something newer than git, like pijul, would be interesting rather than annoying), isn't it in both our interests that I don't have a nasty surprise after joining?

Nor do I want to 'innovate on' on SVC, btw... If anything I'm saying the opposite aren't I? Git's what I know, and it's so fundamental/used so much throughout my day that it's a tool I wouldn't really want to be without. Hard to explain perhaps, considering I wouldn't have a problem with a new language (immediate turn-off when I get recruitment spam looking for a 'python/django engineer' or whatever - yes I have experience doing that but that's not how I'd categorise myself) but it makes sense to me.

I just mean, if it hadn't already come up/been mentioned, when they invariably asked 'any questions for us', I'd now (having thought about this before but not interviewed since) at least ask if they could tell me a bit about the hardware the provide and tools/processes they use. Just a question, nothing 'combative' about it.
Just wait until cheap to write GPT3 articles learn SEO techniques inherently and bombard the internet suppressing human writers in the spam ocean.
At https://aquila.network we’re always thinking of this scenario.
Also not sure why you are getting downvoted. We call it "breakthrough", as in piercing though all the layers to connect one simple usecase from front to end.

Once we established that that works properly, we think of a way to do it clean and tested for all other usecases.

(In the book "the pragmatic programmer" it's called "tracer bullets / code".)
> I'm obviously cherry picking, but if an applicant asks me a series of questions akin to "what source control tool do you use and why" I'm going to begin doubting that this person can focus on actually shipping product.

I'll devil's advocate this.

In the .NET world, there are a number of toolsets that... are far from ideal. Either because I know the frameworks are restrictive, or there is a common pathology to see the tools in question abused to a point where forward progress is frequently impeded.

An example that comes to mind, 2015-2017 most .NET devs I know would ask questions around whether they were using Dapper, Raw ADO, or EF6, knowing they would be FAR more productive in the former environment than the latter.

As a lesser example, I know I'm -far- more productive in Github than Bitbucket for pull requests, BB honestly feels primitive and kinda broken in comparison. It's not a dealbreaker, but if I theoretically had two identical offers in front of me aside from that point... It would help me decide.

> There's this whole scene of people who do performative, almost theatrical, quality programming but nigh on forgot how to actually ship features, and questions like those are a hint they might be in that camp.

Agreed, There's also the 'blustering arguer' type; a specific type of dev that won't use the tools that are prescribed by an org, yet cannot finish assigned tasks using 'their toolset'. I've only run into a couple of these in my travels, at best they are marginally productive and at worst you are repairing both code and team morale after they go.
Thanks for your request, I am working on a show (series of experimental paintings) but I have a principle of not sharing on HN personal stuff.
In this way, when I speak here, I have no filter and no self-censuring mechanism is applied.:)
What is not being posted in news often enough are the options that we have to mitigate the effects. the only thing i read is that we need yo drive down co2. fact is: we are not gonna reach the targets in a reasonable timeframe. hence, we must start preparing to mitigate effects. instead we are caught by climate catastrophies like the current draught in europe, us and china and we are running around like headless chicken.

let us setup multi generational projects on international scale to develop mitigations.

this os mot being covered well enough in media. the only thing i see in 80% of the articles is status quo reporting of climate change effects (fires, draughts, rain) and YET ANOTHER climate change warning... and ofc some aggressive climate terrorists that are getting too much coverage, too.
At some point your craft is good (or good enough) that progressing further on it is not moving you forward as an engineer. It is often a difficult thing to notice and a trap one can easily fall into of over-focusing on craft and not realizing you’re plateauing your overall career or skill set.
To be blunt, any country without a nuclear deterrent does not have secure borders. Any country relying on the deterrent from another country does not have a nuclear deterrent. Granted, treaty relations and civil behaviour between nations might be secure, but as we have seen it’s no guarantee against rogue states.

I would expect that Taiwan, somehow, over the last 60 years found nukes or regrets they did not. I’m not sure a chemical deterrent is sufficient as it’s range and scale limited.

Talking of BYTE: W Jay Dowling wrote a "Dead Jerry" letter that was published in the March 1985 edition of BYTE (W. Jay Dowling. "The Earliest Bug", BYTE. March 1985. 10(3) 350.) giving a longer history of the term. Jerry Pournelle's response was to note that a lot of people had written in to BYTE about its tale of the origin of the term.
It was very eye opening to see how many groups and individuals who "just want to have a debate" on the reality of climate change are funded by fossil fuel companies[1][2][3][4]. We are being lied to, and it's working. Just see the first few comments in reply to this article.

Webinar – Unlearning microaggressions towards black women at work
Hello Everyone,

I will be discussing with Lenora Billings-Harris (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lbillingsharris/) about microaggressions towards black women at work.

Research has established that 84% of people in minority subgroups face some form of microaggressions at work. This is more severe towards black women.

We will be discussing various types of microaggressions that black women face, such as:
- Being asked to speak as a representative for a group of people like you.
- Burdened to communicate in a way that feels inauthentic of who you are.
- Needing to correct others’ assumptions about your personal life.
- Hearing derogatory comments or jokes about people like you.
- Being excluded from social events.
- Receiving comments about your appearance

We will also cover topics on how companies can address these.

Join us live at:

Event Link: https://www.linkedin.com/video/event/urn:li:ugcPost:69656670...

Date: August 24th, 12:00 Noon ET.
I highly recommend the documentary Dark Waters and more so Rob Bilot's well written book, Exposure. It might make the greatest skeptics a little less confident.
"Lead, Staff, Principal..." exist only in few companies, are even more vague that "senior" and don't even represent seniority but rather how long a person worked in the same company.

(And how lucky they are at getting promoted withing that company)
There's a PG version at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwood_%26_Company_shipping_... – ‘Waverley Avenue [was] coated in butter and chocolate. […] an ocean of fudge ... flooding the street ... like lava, sufficiently deep to float a rowboat for two blocks along Flushing Avenue. The flood attracted "a thousand and one" local children, keen to taste the mixture. The police initially made no attempt to stop them but around an hour after their arrival truant officers began collecting the children to take them to their schools.’
Interestingly, the traditional algorithmic solution is inherently asymmetric: it gives better outcomes to one gender than the other.
Okay, that covers gender as far as I can tell. But how about sexual orientation?
"we sometimes check things into sourcesafe but usually keep it on jims computer"

That was 3-4 years ago. From a company that was in no way a 'startup'.

That tells me they have no release system at all other than the late 80s crowd around a 'blessed' computer and hope it builds right.

"have you considered git, svn, perforce anything like that?"
"we don't have time for that"

That tells me they do not have time to invest in having a good reliable thing for themselves. It tells me that as a developer I will not have any time to fix recurring issues. It is a question you can learn a lot from. Because it is something the developers do day to day.

These are not new concepts. These are table stakes at this point. We were doing this sort of thing in the mid 90s. If you are not doing them. You are missing out on some cool debugging/regression/qa tools.
Not evil, but a coward, by letting your community remain stigmatized by refusing to stand up for what you believe in.

How many customers does that serve?
I wonder how repulsive it actually was to people 1000 or 5000 or 10000 years ago though. In the wild – especially in the tropics – intestinal parasites are incredibly common in mammals, presumably including our ancestors. The invention of cooking must have reduced the parasitic load among hominins, however, as well as the discovery of soap. Various cultural taboos on eating or handling specific types of animals almost certainly originate from the desire to avoid parasites as well. Also, base parasitic load is reduced for people living in cooler climates, so worm infections may have become more yucky to Europeans not as accustomed to them.
That’s technically true, but it’s also a bit like saying if there’s no fuel, a car is paperweight.
Wait till you have to deal with a merge conflict.
You realise that Germany invaded Belgium and France because France and Russia mobilised against her? And that they mobilised because Germany was supporting Austro-Hungary against Serbia, whose intelligence service had commissioned the murder of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and of his wife? Not countering those mobilisations would have left the German Empire at the mercy of Russia and France.

To the extent that one can talk about ‘good’ or ‘bad’ sides in the Great War (which is not very far, really), Germany was on the good side (unlike in the Second World War).
I think TDD shines in combination with a layered architecture, the combination of both increases “changeability” of the project.
Layered architecture and DI makes easy and possible to test any layer.
And the test become a live documentation of how to use the code you have written.

Refactoring becomes then easy although sometimes tedious, but provides a degree of confidence that your change works with all posible ways to use the code.

Its also healthy to break the rules if time pressure, but keeping a registry of technical debt, helps keeping the morale up.
There is nothing more demoralizing that working on an environment where you can’t estimate because who knows what will be broken, it’s hard to make improvements because everything is entangled, and there is no time to invest in a rewrite.
This usually ends up with very talent people quitting if they are unable to fix it.
Referring to your "[Citation Needed]" it was a quote from the paper referenced in the last paragraph which I cited in my original statement. The persecution complex you refer to is quoting the actual paper in the exact location I specified.

Look man, I'm not sure where the hostility is coming from but you obviously have something you need to get off your chest. If you want to vent it here you can if you agree to not vent it on someone else later.
So your argument is that because the USA are warmongering megalomaniacs, we should all be fine with Russia being one as well?
In most engineering it takes 15 if not 20 years. Otherwise the term "senior" gets completely watered down.
Oh, for sure. A sudden ice age would definitely ruin global civilization. But that's not the issue, and the opposite of an ice age, a rapid period of warming with huge disruptions to ecosystems, is not good either. It's almost like huge disruptions to ecosystems is the problem and independent from the red team/blue team political polarization culture-war horseshit.

LeapFive's RISC-V N62 Processor to Take on x86, ARM, Mass Production Late 2022
I think there is something to be said for this, especially foods that are home grown and home prepared. In the town I grew up in there was an Italian family that owned a restaurant and would get most of their ingredients from Italy. My friends mom made everything from scratch. No highly processed foods. My friend her son was built like a tank. We used to arm wrestle all the time if for no other reason than his insane strength and my laughably futile attempts to win.

I should add that since then I have not once in my life enjoyed a calzone like his mom made. It was worth the 45+ minute wait.
It should be Linux performance under M2 MacBook Air versus Ryzen 7 Lenovo ThinkPad X13.

This isn't benchmarking the capabilities of the M2 chip at all when we know it will be throttling in the MacBook Air.
> should include things like .. training on unconscious bias

Hell no. If you are talking about "Implicit bias" (IAT), this has dubious scientific support.

It feels similar to the title bloat of Goldman Sachs, where a lot of people are Vice Presidents.
I guess I'm just tired of this argument, and how much the internet is full of polarised, false-dichotomised thinking, and has been for decades.

I'm not going to claim to have never argued in such a manner myself, or that my phrasing is particularly helpful. I also just need to take some time off work.
The answer appears to be "sexism". The problem has a number of names, all of which seem to revolve around men choosing women. The original name is "fiancée problem".

(Secretaries were historically male, but by the 1940s when the problem was devised, it had become a largely female profession. It became less about being a trusted adviser, and more about operating a typewriter.)

I suppose it makes a vague kind of sense that you don't get to call back a potential "applicant" for marriage. You get to evaluate one at a time, and if you reject them, you don't get a second chance.

I don't know why that shifted to "secretary". Maybe it seemed marginally less sexist?
>> You will mislead casual readers by doing so.

Your entire post is misleading.

It contains the ASSUMPTION that the favorable capital tax rate (vs labor tax rate) is NECESSARY for the investment to happen.

This is obviously not the case. People with capital will want to deploy it so that it grows, as long as the tax rate on the profits is <100%.

What we do not have is the curve - how high can the tax rate be set relative to the tax on labor income before investment is ACTUALLY discouraged?

Only an assumption, based on the obviously self-serving assertions of people who own capital, that higher tax rates will make them just sit on their money and not deploy it profitably.

As you can see above, I'm happy to debunk oversimplification & demonization from the LW or RW, but "trickly down" is pretty much what the RW called it when it was flogged as a concept in the '80s, that "freeing up capital" for the rich would trickle down to everyone in the economy. The ACTUAL result was the opposite. Ratios of executive vs worker pay only increased from ~70x to over 300x, and the share of the total GDP going to labor declined to the lowest point ever.

The actual fact of the matter is that with lowering tax rates on capital, the "boon" you speak of is actually available to fewer people than ever.
Evolutionary psychology is descriptive psychology with the assumption that closely related evolutionary paths can be used for comparative study.
I was really excited to see these benchmarks until I realized:

1. The Ryzen setup has twice the ram

2. The Ryzen setup has twice the cpu cores

3. The Ryzen setup has 3x the power envelope (in watts) as the M2[1]

4. They are using Asahi Linux on the M2.[2]

Too bad I missed the window to downvote.

If this said: Apple M2 (Linux/8gb/4c) vs. Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U (Linux/16gb/8c)... it would have been more honest, and potentially interesting, as it would also be an indication of the progress of Asahi Linux.

(edited to add line breaks)

[1]: Ryzen 46w (not sure if this includes the GPU) vs M2 15w (not sure if this includes the GPU)

[2]: Asahi Linux is super cool, but most M2 chips in the wild are not running it. So it's not a useful comparison.
> at least one laptop manufacturer recommending customers to not carry a laptop in sleep mode in a backpack.

And it wasn’t even just a recommendation, they declared it would void your warranty to do so! (In at least Australia, such an attempt to disclaim liability is illegal.)
Humanity hasn't been good at multigenerational projects for some time.
> USA has all the concern for human lives and "democracy"

Well yes, a lot of Americans (and Europeans and Asians, and even Russians) value "democracy". They also value things like "freedom of expression" and "the rule of law" that aren't particularly valued by Vladimir Putin.
Apple sells a M2 MacBook Pro which has better performance.

So it's not a meaningless question at all.
Yes, this would be a much better description

I love benchmarks and graphs as the next guy, but these one just don't feel right.

Linux on Macbook, 16GB vs 8GM ram. Amusing, yes, but not very informative.
Hi! I’m the creator of the post. Thank you for all the comments on my post! I’m glad more people are getting to see it. Thanks for posting, @antidnan!

Reading through, it looks like I have some rough edges of my website to clean up as well...
Facebook knows your education, where you went, what class you were in, what friends you had at that point, how you look, how you looked 10 years ago, what family members you have, what relationships you have and had, where you work, what establishments you've recently visited, what articles you engaged with more than others on your feed. And a lot of it isn't even voluntary because other people can fill it in for you.

TikTok knows my age, my location and viewing habits, TikTok knows that I stared at clip x more than clip y. TikTok might have figured out my age, gender and my sexuality based on what I watch and can probably figure out more just from what I view but saying it's somehow more than Facebook is inane.

one is literally made to have as much information about you as possible, that's like the core concept of Facebook.
Are you sure it's Windows or the hardware that is crashing? I solved similar problems with my new gaming laptop by disabling some sort of turbo mode.

Which made it seem like the manufacturer hadn't tested the laptop at all.

Apple laptops have problems but not fundamental ones like that.
This was my first thought too.

C'mon Google put Imagen to work, I'm so over this art style.
I would (and do, when interviewing candidates on the other side of the table) frame this differently. I can more or less assume that a candidate at the level we're hiring has used git, and done some form of code review, so I don't bother asking that particular question. What I do get into is their approach to code review, how they go about handling a pull request, how they'd provide feedback to the submitter, and what particular red flags they're looking for when reviewing code.

I indirectly also find out if a candidate hasn't used git, or done code review, but much more usefully I find out whether they're the sort of person who's going to take a quick glance and then throw a "lgtm" comment on the PR, or if they're actually going to review things.

You can identify sex with high reliability just by looking at someone’s face in the vast majority of cases. Not in every case, but in the vast majority.
So, reading comments… two things really stand out to me. First, people forget that the USA throws away more food than Africa produces. The planet is not really close to being out of food, stuff is just wasted by the comparatively rich countries. Second, farming is not all or nothing. There are practices that mix plants, offer diverse sections for pollinators, purposeful use of specific plants that keep predators off of cash crops without toxins, and so on. These could be done while fallow grass growing plots are used for grazing and fertilizer production (you know, animal poop).

People always want to believe doom and gloom for some reason, but humans are an incredible animal. We have always found solutions and adopted them because in most cases what is right also happens to be what works best.
