We're going to start working on a release phase at Render in the next month. Stay tuned! We'll also update feedback.render.com.
I'm looking forward to this! It'll make moving from Heroku a lot easier. The other thing I'm looking for is a way to put a hard cap on spend so it doesn't feel risky to enter my credit card.
Don’t forget grandparents. That’s how my wife and I had three while both working as corporate lawyers. This is quite common among people I know.
docker-compose only deploys on individual nodes though.
fine by me - too many freeloaders ruining things for everyone else.
Speaking as an arty type, it's not so much solitude that's required as peace.

And yes, having people around is generally peace-destroying. But not absolutely.
Most people know that lawyers are expensive, but very, very few know just how expensive it is to go to trial. Even the simplest case can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Justice is only available for extremely rich folks.

I like the assignments where a starting project is provided, and you are given a few enhancements and bug fix tasks within the project. That is probably what your first few months will be like at the job anyway. You can match the coding standard of the existing project rather than agonizing about naming standards or other subjective decisions. I have an issue with the more open ended tasks where you create a project from scratch. I saw the directive "make the interface as polished as possible". That is how a 3 hour project turns into a week of work.
Sci-Hub is still illegal. If they made a completely separate legal entity that respected copyright, sure, something like that could work. Until that happens, the choice will be "do everything manually" or "break the law", and I don't think a whole lot of universities or corporations will be condoning the latter.
Interesting seeing all the yarmulkes. It went from being a catholic run to a jewish run nursing home. Could this story be seen as an expression of their respective value systems?
I refuse to believe that anyone who thinks that 1984's main takeaway is that there is no objective truth and that any attempt to stand against propaganda is a greater crime than the propaganda lies themselves has actually read it.

The problem with minitru is that 2 plus 2 does not, in fact, equal 5. It's not that saying one fact is true is somehow immoral.
Gyms are notorious for this. I won’t sign up for a gym membership unless they accept checks or cash. Most accept checks, I’ve found. Could also try a virtual credit card I suppose. Citi offers those with their Visa card.
Very interesting you'd call out someone for being biased, given your submission history is mostly comprised of negative articles about Tesla.
Your use of the word gross income is interesting, what wasthe difference to the net income in that time period?

Were salaries taxed? I assumed you'd get a net income only becauae if everyone's already working for the state, what would be the point of an income tax?
Studio Ghibli's films sure opened my eyes to the beauty of Japan's country-side and sea-side towns. I would like to visit some of them some day, if/whenever that becomes possible.

Miyazaki seldom based a movie location on any single real-world place, though. They are always combinations of several places.

> "Yes, they destroyed the boat and the people had to be rescued, but it's not aggressive."

> When organizations use weasel words and spaghetti logic like this, they signal that they're not interested in arguing in good faith

There are a few relevant questions in a scenario like this:

1. Was the attack intentional?

2. Was causing harm/destruction a goal of the attack?

3. Orcas are predators. Were they attempting to eat anyone?

I would interpret "not in an aggressive way" as drawing a line between questions (1) and (2), and that's certainly an important distinction to draw. It's also possible to draw a line between (2) and (3), which wouldn't match well with the ordinary use of the word "aggressive", but which is still important and is suggested by the context.
The blink fitness example has to be the result of a bad business model.

How long can gyms, cable companies, cell providers etc keep customers hostage with cancellation policies like this? I mean it has been forever but c'mon!

If your business doesn't provide value to your customers then you should not milk them like this... you should start providing value or cut your losses and treat them well so they will still hopefully recommend you to a friend that actually needs whatever you are selling.
> I doubt a meaningful amount of people did this, but I’d love to see evidence to the contrary.

Multiple studies have shown that pirates are often the best customers. (see https://torrentfreak.com/pirates-spend-much-more-money-on-mu...)

It makes sense. If somebody is supper passionate about games, or music, or movies they might pirate to get early releases, alternate versions, and to try new things. Collectors may even want to keep their purchased media untouched/unopened or may just want easy access to their purchases.

I've pirated things I've purchased just because it was faster than ripping a CD myself or even going into the next room to take a DVD off the shelf and using the player.
> If one red cent of taxpayer money goes to it, the taxpayer should get it for free.

This logic only works for easily-replicable goods, like information. It falls apart when you consider various goods and service that are not easily replicable, or where increased demand can mean increased funding is necessary. E.g.:

* So public housing can't be at least partially paid for by the tenant, it must be completely free?

* No bridge or road tolls anywhere, any time?

* No paid street parking either, even in highly demanded areas, like the middle of big cities, where demand needs to be managed somehow

* Any kind of license or permit or passport should all be free, even for businesses?
Yes, I would add though that the option that's perceived as closest to "Do nothing/Add nothing/Skip" will get extra perception points as closer to default.
x86 processors will be produced on the same nodes. Many ARM SoCs require binary blobs or otherwise closed source software, so they are not the best choice to run Linux on if you're approaching it from a longevity and stability perspective.
> It's likely also the reason Google's moved away from unlimited storage for educational institutions.

Absolutely, piracy forums have guides to fake being a student to get an unlimited account, then mirror huge (1TB+) gdrives full of pirated content to your own. This was (is?) happening on a huge scale.

Oh my. Mine was SRE-specific to be fair, and was the kind of thing I'd do for fun to answer "what if..." It was timeboxed to two hours, and IIRC I had a working solution in about half that, then spent the rest iterating and improving.
They somehow manage to avoid using the words "copyright" and "patent" anywhere in the press release or the memorandum.

I assume they mean for this to apply only to copyrights over the actual text of the published paper and supporting data, but it's strange that they are so vague.
Over the last few months, we have seen many offer letters being rescinded by companies for different reasons. Most of the time this happens very close to or even a few days after the candidates start their new job. Many candidates have been hurt by this due to leaving their previous jobs or turning down one or more other offers to accept an offer that was rescinded later.
In almost all of these cases, the candidates end up getting hurt mainly due to bad decision-making by the management team at the new company. My goal for putting this list together is twofold:
1. First, this will give another data point to other candidates looking for a job. Whether you are just starting your job search or you are in the process of making final decisions about what offer you should accept, this information could be very useful for you.
2. Second, this can help candidates with a rescinded offer to find another job as quickly as possible. Having your offer rescinded is probably not the best thing to happen, but there is no doubt that a rescinded offer is one of the strongest signals of a candidate's strength. It shows that you were just evaluated by a whole other team, and were selected amongst many other candidates to be given an offer. Rescinded offers also give you a good starting point to negotiate your salary when starting another job.
I just started putting together the list of companies that rescinded offers in the past in the link below:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XWk5-n4Jj5GpFTiaePXS...
And if you'd like to add your Rescinded Offer to this list, you can add it here:

It makes sense, it could look really bad for Chewy. Say your cat got eaten by a pit bull, and then a week later you're reminded what happened by a box of cat food they automatically shipped to your door.
I don’t think the promotion and prestige incentives can be fixed easily by academics. Their promotion, earnings, ability to change universities, and recognition depend on publishing in the most prestigious journals they can.

In contrast, the government could easily fix this by simply not providing the money currently required by such journals, which would force them to come up with models that can work with lower fees.

I hope you are right though!
No thanks. I'd rather see tags implemented than a separate space.
The tweet you referenced is no longer the case. See https://spreadprivacy.com/more-privacy-and-transparency/.

As for our private search engine, it is in actually way more than Bing at this point. We have approximately a millions lines of search code at this point, many tens of millions of dollars invested in them and a staff of about 200.
Have been doing SE for 10 years now. Got burned on three of these recently because they didn't used to be as common. Talking several hours each one. It leaves you with the feeling that the company is stealing your work. Will not repeat.

Also, one company had me do a SQL take home which I thought was amusing because then one of the employees nit-picked all the SQL code which I hastily wrote because it was already a risky time investment, even though it was a Python job and I'd likely just use an ORM.

I would argue that a truly qualified interviewer should be able to have a dialogue where they ask you very pointed questions and give you maybe a 20 minute coding problem. If they're not satisfied, they should invite you back for another interview. The major drawback of take-home tests is they are usually very subjective and huge time investments.

I ultimately got 3 job offers, got to the final round at 3 others which had take homes, and accepted one at a FAANG company who didn't use these poor interview tactics but to each their own.

Mate, this was a joke. I hope that came across.

I've been a paying member of heroku for nearly a decade, and pay them $1000s of my personal income monthly. I think their product has been brilliant. I just defended them yesterday in a HN comment.

I do, however, use their free tier to test things daily. This news puts me in a bind. It's work that I hadn't planned, and I only have 3 months to find a solution for it when I have my own roadmap already planned.
I like how Rinse does this, a laundry service that charges roughly by weight of laundry. They text me if a driver is in my area and they subtract the weight from my account's total. If I don't use it, the excess weight carries over to the next month. It reminds me of how cell phone plans used to 'roll over' unused minutes to the next payment cycle.
I wonder if people in RT domains just skip imperative programming to go into reactive (a la lucid/lustre/esterel) signals.
It's the latter.

Basically, aside from github's merge button (which does magic inaccessible to mere mortal[0]) the signal github looks for to know whether a PR is merged is whether the PR's head commit is in the target branch.

So if you reset the PR's branch to the target (or any of its commit), as far as github is concerned it's as if the PR had been merged.

[0] the ability to close PRs as merged was requested 3 years ago on the old discourse forum, which was deleted when github deployed the new community thingie, the request was reposted on the new site https://github.com/community/community/discussions/12437
Linux support is about much more than instruction set support. Most ARM chips are shipped on SoCs which can take a lot of work to get Linux running on, and even then it might not run well.
People with a bad CV but good skills would do it. There are a lot of those people entering the market every year so it makes sense for some companies to look for gems among the people other companies considers unhireable.

"The entire point of Company was ABC, doing 867 seems to be a slippery slope." Huh?

I don't see how capturing personal information from users for any reason has anything whatsoever to do with omitting perceived misinformation from all users across the board. One can agree or disagree with the decision, but they are two entirely different issues in entirely different areas, and one is in no way a "slippery slope" toward the other.
If Brad the electrician wants to benefit from artificial barriers to entry that keep his job out of reach of Jose that raises the cost floor of a building. Now apply the same effect for every trade. Now add in the cost of dealing with obstinate government. Suddenly there's no money left to spruce up the building beyond the bare minimum and still come out the other side with an end result within the scope of "what the market will bear".
This is definitely a better example of handling a breach, many others would disclose this years later (if at all) since nothing material has happened or is known to have happened.

books? ... use your contacts at first, this is important, you get your feet wet, get first successful project under your belt and probably will get paid on time and in full if your contacts are trustworthy

charging hourly is the beginning of contracting, but makes you count minutes and report as such which can be pain in the ass

level above that is setting up a daily rate

another level above is payment per milestone / project delivered - never tried this one, if attempted as solo contractor you can shoot yourself in the foot easily, as we all know software projects get underestimated all the time..

red flags? being hired on already running project to salvage it, because someone somewhere screwed something up by underestimating the complexity or their skills and now the deadline is close and budget was already drained ...
And this would be the opposite for me. Someone properly thinking out the edge cases and handling them (or at least pointing them out in comments) would be much more useful in the roles I'd be hiring for.

I need a stable system that can tolerate the real world and handle messy inputs without shitting the bed. A new hire that shows they consider their inputs and handle edge cases is a better fit to me than someone who focused on that 80% solution and didn't bother sanitizing inputs and crashes because of it.
I would like to use this. However, in the past when I've tried it I didn't like the results. It would be nice to hear about more competition in the P2P information retrieval (search engine) tech space. YaCy seems to be the only one I've consistently heard about over the years.
If you give every person on the street 2 hours of your time, you wouldn't be able to do your day job.

I don't like take home tests either, but the point of them is removing the bad candidates from the pipeline so that people who interview them (often ICs, and these are some of the biggest expenses within the company) don't waste time on someone that is unlikely to be qualified.

Personally when I'm interviewing and I get take home tests I choose my battles. I only do them if I really want the job. If it is worth my time.

It's unfortunate, but take home tests are a necessary evil until something better comes along.

Yea this is what I am wondering as well. If nobody else ends up switching to ARM in the laptop/desktop space and eventually AMD and Intel are making 5 or 3nm chips then surely this massive lead in power efficiency is going to close. At the current levels the new apple computers seem awesome - but if they are only 10-20% more efficient?
Amid housing crises vacation towns limit short-term rentals
This article is ridiculous drivel. The author's point is basically that complaining about noise is another form of white people oppressing people of color? The author is complaining about being told to quiet down in libraries and homes.

Let me give some perspective on the other side of this situation. In college one year I had 8 AM classes each day of the week which meant that if I wanted to have time to exercise I had to wake up at 6 AM to have time to eat, exercise, and shower. In order to get enough sleep I had to get into bed between 9:00 and 9:30. In college dorms I consistently had to call the RA and file noise complaints because were playing music and talking loudly. Good sleep is essential to your health, your freedom to experience joy by being loud as the author describes does not trump my right to basic peace and quiet. It's the same principle from COVID where people didn't want to wear a mask: your freedom ends where mine starts.

A home or a library is not the place to be loud and boisterous, go to a student cafe or a bar or a restaurant. As somebody who suffers from tinnitus it feels like the same principle of how maddening it can be to never experience silence.

I think a lot of people underestimate the impact that excess noise (and of course lack of sleep as a result of that) can have on your mental health. And of course people just chalk it up to old people complaining about kids. I'm in my 20s.

I thought it was a case of everyone apeing the Ivy Leagues when they kept on changing the rules to keep their hardworking minority numbers down to make their New England old money look superior. So the excuse was they are going for "well rounded with extracurriculars" students, back when there were too many Jews for their liking. Then repeat the same thing with Asians once exams and extracurriculars are optimized for.

Blind unthinking mimicry drives the educational system. I was in early elementary school when analogies were removed from the SATs. They went from "very important" to disappearing off the face of the earth, only occassionally showing up in two questions at most per standardized test.
I'm not sure the author should be quite so proud of the results of his hard work (i.e., the Facebook user experience). And indeed, my own startup experience has shown that the "move fast, break things, ask forgiveness not permission" method results in burning through $millions of investor cash and frequently building products that aren't really that useful or successful?
Well, good. Should be illegal basically everywhere, though.
That's an interesting perspective. It's been clear to me that creativity often arises from constraints, but I'd not really flipped the concept around like that before. Thank you for sharing!

Why not just use the parser generator to generate a parser that will standardize the grammar and then use the parser generator again on the output of that parser to generate a parser for the desired grammar?

Its all parser generator all the way down.
This is guidance to federal agencies to update their policies to require free access for results they funded going forward.

So, the issue is not to flip a switch on a server to disable a paywall. The issue is to change official policy at many agencies, which will then trickle down. You can't just retroactively change the terms on existing grants.
Honestly, I feel like you haven’t tried and you are just seeking validation.

- Quality of relevance settings (eg. searchable attributes, custom ranking, index configuration settings)

- Richness of UI functionality. What kind of controls are provided to the end user to best capture their intent and ultimately retrieve the best possible content to put in front of the user to drive engagement and find what they are looking for? What features are leveraged in this endeavor (eg. query rules, geo, personalization, AI features etc.)?

- Quality of design. How does the layout, styling etc. contribute to the overall feel of the experience?

- Ability to drive a narrative with the demo, connecting how the user experience will drive ROI for a business

if (baseBranchCommits.includesAll(prBranchCommits)) status = merged;

That's pretty much the Github logic. The PR branch was updated to include the commits of the base branch and force-pushed, which caused github to run the above merge logic.

This is useful in many cases, but is still very confusing UX in such cases. Nothing was exploited, the PR update messages are just... well, poorly designed.
