They are incompetent honestly. If you were to discontinue this page you would at least talk to a few power users of the page and know their mind before taking the decion.

This sounds like the backstory for an 80s sitcom (or something more lascivious).

The Author has a broad reputation around here for knowing what he is talking about, so I think 'I run banks' might need more context if you really want this to be an appeal to authority argument, especially as your HN bio doesn't support the claim that you run banks and 'running banks' isn't really a role
It was 2G when Europe has been 3G for a while. No copy and paste anywhere, but that wasn't probably a big problem (can't remember.) It was more of a fashion / luxury statement than a useful phone. The incredibly large screen would be very useful for web browsing, but 2G... Remember, no apps on the first ìPhone.

Edit: can't remember this too but maybe its 2 Mpx camera was a great one in 2007 (for a phone.) After all the view finder was unprecedented in size and it had wifi to download (or usb through iTunes?). No video recording, no selfie camera.
It was never applicable directly, BT receivers are ancient tech that costs very little.

But what if you wanted to do something more fancy like build a jukebox that also had BT in addition to a web based control front end?
> Given a throw, you can't even know how much of the stack it would unwind

No, that is the entire point of exceptions. They unwind the stack up until the level of a matching catch block, if any. Why would you want to know how many stack levels a throw will unwind? When you call a function you don't know how many functions it will call in turn, and when you return a value you don't know if the callee will return it another level up. You shouldn't want to, since this would create and undesired tight coupling which would make the program hard to modify. It's a feature, not a bug.

> If Structured Programming advocates saw Exceptions, they would be horrified.

I'm sure they would, just as they would be horrified by having multiple returns in the same function - never mind horrors like "break" and "continue". The dogma was "single entry single exit". Exceptions does adhere to the "only lexical blocks and function calls" paradigm, but throwing is a form of multiple return, so it breaks with the dogmatic structured paradigm. But I prefer simple and maintainable code to blind dogma.

> Even C's gotos don't allow you to jump out of a function.

Goto actually has its uses in C, for example for resource cleanup. I think "goto harmful" have become a mantra where people use the words but forget the underlying reasoning. Dijkstras problem with goto was not that they jumped to a different place in the progam, his problems was that they didn't adhere to lexical structures and call stack. Exceptions actually allow resource cleanup in a structured way (using "finally" blocks).
Ask HN: Is that Flexport post on the HN front page an ad?
Front page of HN: “Flexport is hiring smart people who want to work hard”.

As sibling comment says, meetups and conferences are a great way to get your name out there. Working closely with vendors when the opportunity comes up in your organisation can also help build a relationship and reputation if managed properly. Anything to establish yourself as a person of some authority in the area such that when a need is identified, your name comes up as a ‘we should see if x is looking around’
I think there is a stark difference between motivation and happiness.

There exists negative motivation. If you have $50k in credit card debt, you are very motivated to pay off that debt, but you are neither happy to have the debt nor happy to pay. You just plan to be more happy when it's over.

This kind of motivation can also be present on the workplace, along with positive motivation (when you are happy about something and want more of it).
Kind of, if it is widely accepted as a medium of exchange I would count crypto as money. The irony is that the only crypto that is money is stablecoins. There is RAI but the Terra Luna incident made me sceptical of algorithmic stablecoins. If RAI survives the ETH crash, which it so far does, I am looking forward to the next generation of algorithmic stablecoins. Who knows, maybe it is actually possible to do what the central banks of the euro and dollar do in a smart contract and suddenly Milton Friedman's dream of replacing the central bank with a computer comes true. Yet at the same time it crushes the idea that Bitcoin or Ethereum will ever amount to anything more than a digital collectible.

I personally am interested in a currency that does price level targeting but I have my doubts that it would work with a cryptocurrency because the oracle that collects the CPI is going to be centralised.

I will admit getting the CPI right is easier than getting central bank policy right.

In comparison, I got pretty damn lucky.

I had only one interview.

I showed up unscheduled, and uninvited. And I immediately got an offer at the end of it (pending background check).

I’ve been there for over 16 years now.

Regardless of whether Poland can obtain this money or not, it is very important for historical reasons to know how big were the losses caused by Germany. Poland never gained any help, neither from the Marshall Plan, nor Germany.
I ported it to a couple of Android devices and used it as a daily driver for a year or so.

It is technically a successor, but it just wasn't there. App story was worse than N9 (without considering alien dalvik/anbox/waydroid).

Some of the technical decisions they've made meant more headaches for developers (Old gcc version. Old Qt version. Repacking Fedora arm packages just to run on sfos wasn't fun). The browser was based on a very old and buggy Firefox version.
At the end of the day, it wasn't even fully open source.. so you always had to play catch up with their updates just to keep your mods working.

Despite all that, the community was vibrant and very talented.
Oddly enough, it was also smoother to use and feels more well designed than Android on the same device. Even little things like double tap to wake, being easier for one hand usage
It's hardly slow. Just checked local plans for what I get for $20/mo prepaid and it's about $150usd/mo for one of those awful folding things.
More generic info on heat pumps for water:

https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/heat-pump-water-heaters

But I think the general assumption is that if you live in a cold place, you'd heat water and your home at the same time so you're a bit of an outlier.

Many of them make reference to cooling the air at the same time as heating the water, which makes sense if you love in a warmer climate.

He's right, PoS or PoW never were related to governance in Ethereum: the governance process has always been entirely controlled by the Ethereum foundation in a centralized way.

but his argument about “bitcoin civil war”, is disingenuous at best, concluding that miners are “powerless” about governance process is really a strange way to analyze this event (which illustrated that they where not in fact “all powerful” which is quite different from being “powerless” …)

He's also making a common, but misleading claim here:

> A block that violates the protocol rules (eg. if it tries to print more coins than the protocol rules allow) will not be accepted by the network, no matter how many miners or stakers support it

He's separating “miners and stackers” from “the network” which is a common position trope, but in reality a blockchain is a node of validators (miners, or stackers) with optional spectators, most of which don't even have enough data to take positions on whatever the validators are doing. Only the (scarce) full nodes can see that something fishy is happening, but they actually have no control on what happens on chain, all they can do is blow the whistle.

What makes a blockchain work is the game theory incentives alignment which helps making sure miner/stakers don't collude together, not because “the network” (miners/stakers aside) can do anything to prevent malicious actions from a cartel of validators.

$AUD. These numbers are your run of the mill salaries seen around the industry, someone with specialised experience such as an ex-FAANG engineer might be more likely to end up at the higher end, but in general outside of a few local unicorns the salaries aren’t that impressive save for a few exceptions for top talent. It’s a real shame since everything else in Sydney is so expensive…
Been there in the same situation for the "You were great! 100% perfect! But there was someone who was 110% - sorry & good luck!" more than once, both at the very start of my career as a new grad and as an experienced hire.

It sucks and it is a blow, and it is emotionally quite draining. Try to stick in there - for me things all worked out in the end, and I hope they will for you too.

I try to live my life by the maxim of "you never know what is going to happen" and it cuts both ways, but there are times when something amazing just comes out of nowhere.

Good luck.
I feel like their is a bit of a heavyhanded personalization in the way these conflicts are presented. They leave it rather ambiguous how much of the dilemna is intrinsic versus how much is extrinsic. The external factors that are listed are closely knit: unperforming co-worker.

I think engineers are hyper competent can do individuals with deep belief in possibility & potential. Few organizations can match & support this vanguard fleet well/at all. A corporate entity can very rarely accept & permit itself to support something far beyond it's grasp. It has to be willing to negotiate & work with people who know more & have more insight than it can. Almost no corporation can find that humility. They cant accept their own limitations/ignorance & trust/enable.

There's some org blame possible in this list. But all masked/hiddenz said in typical corpspeak to protect the guilty non-technical cant-knows.
The time when the last satoshi is mined is irrelevant. The security will be in question as soon as the block subsidy drops below the level of tx fees, which will only take a few decades. In the past decade, no progress has been made on the size of numbers that can be factored by a quantum computer. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm:

> Also, in 2012, the factorization of 21 was achieved, setting the record for the largest integer factored with Shor's algorithm. In 2019 an attempt was made to factor the number 35 using Shor's algorithm on an IBM Q System One, but the algorithm failed because of accumulating errors.
If your traffic is coming through a NLB, then the instances attached to the target group need to have 0.0.0.0/0 as the permitted source. (Assuming you want traffic from anywhere)

If you dont believe me, try setting it up yourself.

As for instances being on a private VPC/non-public IPs thats deployment specific.

In any case, everything then complains about listening on strange ports with 0.0.0.0/0

Can you explain? How much does it actually affect results in extreme cases? The source of non-determinism does seem the GPU but parallelism and dynamic allocation in the frameworks.

Well, it would probably bankrupt most companies, but it wouldn't bankrupt most people's employer.

The average employee works at a larger than average company. Similar for the average customer or average investor.

That's just because big companies have more employees / customers / investors to contribute to that kind of average.
This is not true. In fact if you actually go back and read the articles on it, one of the strengths was how responsive it was on hardware that was much weaker then what android needed. It has its problems but you are literally taking it's strength and pretending it was a flaw 0_o

The problem with Symbian was not the usability but the developer experience.

SDK available only for Windows and really awkward to install and use? Check. Pre-11 C++ but without exceptions and something called cleanup stack and ELeave macro instead? Check. Ok, a whole periodic table of string classes instead of std::string (which would still have been terrible because it was before C++11)? Check. GUI API that was designed for a Psion handheld (Uikon) and implementation for Psions (Eikon) and Series 60 UI implementation (Avkon) piled on top of that? Check. App architecture that doesn't really have a concept of standalone app but works on the idea that apps are views and controllers that handle files? Check. What about making every single phone model slightly different so that apps are not portable between Symbian phones by default but you have to actually test and port with every model? Check. And there was a lot more at deeper technical level that I never had to reach.

I understand that the developer experience was better for the last Symbian versions but at that point it was already late, iOS and Android were taking over and Symbian had a reputation to fix.

My definitive memory of Symbian development having a lunch at a Nokia cafeteria, a week after starting the job and all the dreams about having a computer in your pocket that could run anything as long at it didn't need huge amounts of CPU power, memory or screen area crushed, and complaining with a friend who was in similar situation. An older engineer had heard us, told us that we don't know anything about how bad S60 is and continued with a hour-long rant that as far as I know was all pure facts.
As far as I remember, in those days here you often paid nothing or very little out of pocket for a new phone. It was more like an extra 10-20EUR on your monthly subscription. At least for the phones normal people had.
SSN is certainly not enough. I just recently opened 4 accounts with US banks remotely. All four requested to send them pictures of both sides of my ID card + my selfie holding said ID card. And there were additional steps to confirm my identity before activating the accounts.

That's a very generalized statement. A C program run on OS and so does a JavaScript on a webpage (at least indirectly). I am not sure how OS theory is useful in the JavaScript on a webpage case.
ok, i admit the rfc may prescribes something like .+(@.+)?

i've just drawn the conclusion from that the local part is interpredet solely by the receiving party. that's why case-conversion should be avoided, since the receiving party may be case sensitive. so further thinking, local part can be empty perhaps, depending on the implementation.
It was also a "smart phone" with no data connectivity. Not much use giving it all these features and leaving it with a 2G radio stack.

You wrote a lot of bullet points. Was your motivation to convince me of something? I've written a lot of things in my life that felt righteous, so writing it felt good because I "knew" I was right and then I'd get social reward via upvotes which felt good, but I've also written things in an attempt to be convincing and that's a completely different style. So I'm legitimately wondering if you wrote the bullet points out of righteousness (for you), or was it done for the purpose of being convincing (for me)?

I read your bullet points and my point of view is the same as it was before. So if you thought I didn't generally agree with you because I didn't have the information you had, that isn't the case. I already was aware of what you wrote in your bullet points.

So if we both have the same information, why do you think we reach different conclusions with that information? Why do you think I don't reach the same conclusion that you have reached?
> Also, high grade heat is nice, but not that useful for home applications. So actual sales of this technology are to businesses.

Sailfish has been around for years and somehow still under active development.
I don’t see how it can happen, on the same way we’ve been stuck with the Mac and DOS/Windows duopoly since the 80s. The problem is a new platform isn’t just competing with the established OSes themselves, it’s also competing with the associated peripheral, software and services ecosystems. Those consist of thousands of companies providing thousands of products and services worth trillions of dollars. There’s just no way to get traction against that from a standing start.
Got any recommendations for a good IDE HDD reader? I've seen some cheap USB ones on amazon, but all the reviews are full of people who either got non-working hardware or lost data using them. Seems like a fairly simple device, but it's like you either get garbage under $5 or something that sells for hundreds with little in between.
There is that, but, and I am saying this as an ardent remote supporter, in person appears to have an edge over remote in terms of training ( there are definitely things I would not put in official training materials or even in recorded zoom/teams/we call ). I recently joined a new team and even with previous experience of how things actually work, it was an adjustment how this new ( to me ) corporate structure really operates. It is the little things that can surprise a complete newbie. In person advice can be invaluable.

This sounds a lot like the rather-thoroughly-debunked "violent video games make people violent" argument.
Let me check which native apps I'm using most.

Banking apps, all online

OSMAnd, offline

Cool Reader, offline

Some go (game) apps, one online, the others offline

K9, mostly online

NewPipe and YouTube, online

Maps, online

Gallery, Camera, Calculator, Notes, File Manager, offline.

So there is a space for about half of what I use to be built with Phoenix Native and probably I'm using less online apps than most people.

That's not how entropy works. The heat already goes inside and is hotter than the hot side so your heat pump would just waste work.

You /could/ use a heat engine to diffuse your high grade heat and use the work in your heat pump. But that would require more moving pieces (or a complicated heat engine in your heat pump that could extract work)
