I'm going to add a code design course to: https://platform.intervee.io/courses

with challenges that very similar to the problems you described. But it will take a few weeks to be ready.

For your question:
Maybe they undervalue a well design code because it's hard to be measured. At the end of the day, you judge them based on their tasks and not quality. Try to give them a motivation to think like architects.
What would happen if you ask them to be reviewed by a team member, before pushing it to your review?
Yep, in sixteen views I got:

- one small village, basically a few houses along a road.

- one town in greenery.

- one instance of my phone entirely freezing up (this one is on FF, I guess).
Yeah, and it seems to be working for China -- not on. The US opened up trade with China, and since then China has managed to have the West dismantle its industrial base. It's working great for China! (Except hopefully the rest of the world is finally waking up to what's going on).
That someone who worked on the iPhone Team responded here - much less with such a detailed reply - is the reason Hacker News is one of my internet GOATs.

Thank you - first for your contribution to the product; and secondly, thank you for opening up a window into the glass wall that is Apple.
I think code review is the way to do it, making sure you communicate the general principle rather than just the specific change.

I don’t think having a CS background makes any difference here, but I have found that some people pick this stuff up quickly and others don’t. Going forwards you should make sure you’re filtering for this as part of your hiring process.
Sure, this language feature is mainstream now. But most real-world haskell codbases vary greatly in which language extensions they've chosen to use.
> Was that actually explicitly stated as a constraint in this specific art competition? If not, then no (explicit) rules were broken, I guess

I expect the competition contains some rule along the lines of "entries must be the entrants own work" or similar. So yes, most likely.

There's unlikely to be a rule specifically against AI in the same way there's unlikely to be a rule specifically against getting help from space aliens. Both probably seemed as likely to be an issue up until a few years ago (especially to people who don't follow tech developments).

> 2. Unlike rules such as "don't use steroids" (which can be enforced through testing), it might be more complicated to effectively enforce rules such as "don't use AI to generate the image

My understanding is that testing for all banned substances is actually extremely hard.

In any case, the point is moot - this artist did use AI and is not trying to claim otherwise.

If you can get away with breaking any rule, whether it's steroids, AI, or invisible strings, then that's a different discussion.
BTrees for databases are the most important file types that you lose. Colossus/GFS is why Google adopted LSM trees (eg in LevelDB) instead of BTrees.

Another example is documents (think .doc files), although these can also be log-structured or checkpointed (I think the .docx is almost 100% log-structured).

I don’t agree with your criticism.

On my iPhone indoors I could clearly see both the “workflow animation” and color variations in the examples further down.

Looks like a cool application.
For some reason Megapro charges significantly more when ordering directly and last I looked I wasn't able to find them on Amazon.

I was able to find the same screwdrivers for almost 50% less at the local Altex (Texas electronics store). Looks like this ratcheting one is 42.95: https://altex.com/collections/screwdrivers/products/megapro-...
People keep trying to read into this as a reflection of the art world, but it was only a State Fair art contest. It's kind of interesting but no surprise that it doesn't have the most rigorous entry process. They probably based their rating on how detailed and unique the artwork is-- and Midjourney is known for making very complex and detailed scenes.
>That trade off is deeply flawed. Future lives saved are impossible to quantify, while lives saved now very much are.

Actually both are "future lives" (we're not saving someone we already know is about to die) and both are as easy or hard to quantify.

We can quantify average cost of lives in a big building project given X regulations applied (based on past experience with similar projects), and we can also quantify the impact of a project in first (and sometimes second) order effects (e.g. "building this highway bypass means X less traffic and congestion in that populated area, and thus X man-years spared, plus X less pollution").

About a decade ago, everyone was told that scientific documents were impenetratable by common folk, so to make them more accessible and attract more funding, a narrative should be created and include literary devices to spice them up.
Now everything reads like a TED talk.
No it wouldn't, and it'd be nigh impossible for the handset to make that judgement call. That's not a computable problem except by the User reading the code, understanding it, and toggling the fake data switch on.

Besides which, I don't care if you feed me garbo GPS GLONASS if I've war driven and reverse indexed local wireless nodes to GIS coords. There's more than one way to get at coordinates, and enough hands in the jar in terms of being honest with location data by default that it'd be an uphill battle to fight teach users just how many ways a mobile handset can potentially leak location data.

The problem is that the data is retained at all. Until that data is considered toxic/a liability, there will be no respite from it.
Obviously more than zero, else we wouldn't attempt to build any bridge (or do anything else, like drive cars or fly planes) lest someone dies in the process...
To use Clayton Christensen’s theory of innovation here, to sustain innovation, businesses tend to be purely data driven. They continue to grow and make more money based on choices made with pure data.

For disruptive innovation however, there needs to be an “argument” or opinion to help drive that data based on the industry trends. Companies then take a risk of delivering something new and good enough to the market. Also known as disruptive innovation.

This has shifted the idea of being data-driven to being one of “data-inspired”.

Anyone can make the same dataset fall into their favor. That’s the problem with being purely data-driven. Another way to think of it in the US especially is that our two party system makes wildly different conclusions from the same data. What’s preventing businesses from doing the same?

> For a weightlifting competition, those constraints are things like "don't use steroids" and "don't use an invisible string to assist you in lifting the weights".

This is a good point. The constraints seem important, yet at the same time no one seems to be following them.

Whether it’s elite CrossFit, bodybuilding, powerlifting, or Olympic weightlifting, people ARE taking gear to stay competitive. I could see digital art becoming a similar arms race.
I'm sure there are complete weirdos out there, but I agree with what you say.

I think it means "we can't prove that it works, but we have tested it and we haven't found a case where it doesn't." There are conceivable cases where the hybrid logical clock won't work, but most of these are cases where other systems will fail first (eg TLS/SSL).

Edit: To address the first part of your comment, the atomic clocks narrow the bounds on how bad your NTP clock can be. Spanner essentially waits out the bounds on clock variance on each write transaction to get consistency. There still would be a measurable bound on your clock precision without the atomic clock, but it would be a lot larger.
I use an 11 years old desktop computer, with a few upgrades (memory, SSD). It is good enough for my virtual machines and other heavy programs.

I don't see a reason to invest in a laptop if 90% of the time you work in the same place.
For the other 10% - buy a cheap laptop.
Just give them a simple screening coding challenge like copying a file to s3, then if their code looks OK ask them to justify their decisions, eg error handling, testing, etc. Tell them not to spend more than 1 hour on it. Google won't help much.

I've had people use IDEs to auto create empty test cases, hard code file paths etc. No point wasting time on an interview and anyone competent will smash it.
The problem is not just app developers. Telcos sell it to.
In case with SD, you can download every version yourself. The main code is in git (you can go back to any point), and weights are versioned, I have every version saved, for example.
I'd say it's a lot easier to write articles on how to become a great developer than it is to be a great developer.
I agree, but for small fasteners the palm-saver cap in the megapro screwdriver I have is great: https://megaprotools.com/pages/the-megapro-advantage

It doesn't ratchet. It's basically just a bearing so you can push down on the top and the rest of the screwdriver can move freely—hard to explain I suppose.

No surprise. I imagine they'll just buy older and/or more stable stock.

Worked on a three 50U rack recently with quad T4's per 2U and we're not even through 10% of that order yet.
Did you perhaps misread the title? This is _arm_ suing, not Apple. I can't think of anything in particular Apple has done to kill competition in the SoC space, other than _maybe_ buying up large amounts of fab capacity, which is pretty forgivable.
Why on earth would somebody earning their pay by providing value and doing the job they were hired for be a fraud?

Not all programming jobs require a PhD in computer science. There's plenty of people out there writing line-of-business software, and that's the stuff that makes the world work.
I was totally unaware of the progress of Odin, it looks way more interesting now than when I had first heard of it. I’m surprised it’s already been adopted (or did they start EmberGen in Odin?!) by a commercial product.
It's possible the first may not be so objectionable to you, but the image you have of it is (as you say) through the fog of Western propaganda.

Here's what the PRC says about its democratic processes http://www.news.cn/english/2021-12/04/c_1310351231.htm

Having spoken to a bunch of Chinese people, they confirm many of these aspects. If anything it's a more direct form of democracy, where you elect local representatives that you have the opportunity to know personally, which then can get delegated to higher (up to national) bodies.
I agree, pure empiricism can lead to superstition. If you only learn from experience, and do not have any theory that ensures the consistency of the model, it's easy to infer wrong causal connections.
Which makes the problem even worse. Are you supposed to have comparison rules per provider then? Only for those that are large enough to bother in your particular use case?
I feel like this should be the end of the discussion. A crime against a criminal is still a crime. Furthermore, who decides who the ‘criminal’ is? A ‘tit for tat’ policy may leave progressive activists and whistleblowers vulnerable to DDoS.

With EV Up it was a rotten co-founder that didn’t follow through on their contract. It poisoned the well, destroyed the trust between us and the remaining co-founders (me and one other person) left. That business still exists and is operating to this day - under new management.

For Park N Plug, missing out on the grant from ARENA was a big kick in the balls as we had investment depending on receiving the grant. When the grant didn’t happen we had no capital. To make things worse, we were relying on the R&D tax incentive to come through on our software platform, but the tax department said it wasn’t eligible despite earlier guidance it was.

That left us out of pocket on developer costs and deflated from the setback. We probably should keep at the software stuff and pivot the business, but my co-founder and I have other businesses we are busy with so the energy hasn’t been there.

This blog post and the reaction to it has been quite positive, so who knows, maybe I’ll try a third time to get something EV charger relate going.
The pragmatists went a little bit too far in my opinion, though it has been a long time since I read any of them. Popper is describing observations, not reality.

Avoiding a lawsuit is easy in that case: The Intel lawyer would have to make the argument that Pentium PCs are, in fact, harmful. Which would have opened a whole new can of worms.
> I just want some autonomy and human rights

You're talking to Americans on an American website about how bad you think America is, and nobody is threatening to send your relatives to Xinjiang for it, so I feel pretty confident your human rights aren't being violated.
I don’t follow this comparison. Seems like DDoS protection is a defensive measure.
> be prepared to work, explore and develop in that tech

This seems like a much weaker requirement than the sort of requirement the fine article argues against
Open source is unlikely, because such a thing is expensive to develop and there is no business model to support that (commercially or as a story for VCs).

At Quobyte we're building a scalable fault-tolerant file system (POSIX, so it has a different architecture and constraints), but it's closed source.
> he could be arrested and expected to return it, just as if he made off with cash.

You have cash in your house and someone breaks in to steal everything. The insurance will _maybe_ cover your loss given that you secured it with basic security. _Maybe_ the police will investigate and arrest the burglar.

But even in this situation, you were better off putting your savings in any bank account where any fraudulent transaction can be reverted with a button.

Now, you have your crypto wallet. It gets emptied by some random bot. Well, you are as fucked than with your cash, except that nobody will cover your loss and nobody will investigate your case since the burglar is probably from another country.
And just because something upsets you doesn't mean it's against the law.

Releasing chips that are years ahead of the competitors significantly reduces competition.
1) Devs doesn´t even need to think like architects. You (or the project manager, project owner, whatever) must provide a (good) specification.

2) You can also bring general standards into practice. But do not try to solve everything at once.

3) Leave code review comments on a helpful way. There are some good articles, how to mastering that.

4) Force they to refactor, and leave time for that. You can sit together with the developer, and refactor one part of his/her code. Next time sit together again, and let him/her to refactor. Next time just let him/her to do that, and review code.
Let's face it, developers are like plumbers. What we do is not meant to be on show. Being a great developer is like being a great plumber.
Very few people refuse to talk about aging, and it's not a problem we are equipped to solve or something unfamiliar to us as a species.

Plenty refuse to talk about rising obesity rates, and it's not only something we can address now but also a massive change (no pun intended) that has taken place in living memory.
I think this is a wrong interpretation. If you think about it, the we convey meaning is through "compressing" the meaning as light and sound in a way that once received it will trigger meaning in similar to us organisms. Essentially, for us to transfer knowledge, the receiver end also needs to be trained to decode it and that's why it's impossible to have meaning transfer to a party that is not ready to understand it. Math equations mean nothing to a person not literate in math and a relationship advice means nothing to a person who never had one(can be capable to misinterpret it though) but also depend on who said it in what context. Your mother saying "I love you" is completely different from your SO saying "I love you", despite having the exact same structure no matter if its transferred through sound, ink, electronic display or braille.

This means, the light patterns that we call image mean completely different things depending on who created them. The art critics or curators don't simply look at the image and understand something from it, they know the artist they know the trends they know the word on the street and they try to understand how the artwork fits in all this. The same straight line image made by Picasso, made by Dali, made by a toddler and made by AI would have completely different meaning and value.

Most tech nerds have no decoders to decode artistic meaning and as a result they will look down on not only critics but also artists. Sometimes meaning can be conveyed by analogies but for that the artistic counterpart needs to special effort.

The specific type of fusion reactor which people have built in their back yards already has commercial applications.
Ask HN: Self-learners – how do you give yourself a feedback?
I've had success with two techniques, though they require patience.

First is setting a few short, firm rules about the specific implementations in a project's code. For example, one of my commandments is, "Do not log from library classes that query the database." Its main purpose is to maintain separation of concerns, but its secondary purpose is to get developers to ask why.

The other is similar, just more general, and that is (in the absence of formal coding conventions) picking two or three minor, common coding mistakes and being a dictator about them: declaring a local variable that's only read once, returning true or false in an if-then-else block instead of returning the evaluated expression directly, that kind of thing. Look for them first in code reviews and require changes on the spot. It gets folks to slow down a little and consider what they're doing, which makes a lot of difference in the long term.
It is my understanding that Robertson drive is very common in Canada, where Linus is located.
Yes - other providers have their own strange ideas of what it means for two emails to be equal.

My point is that there is no standard that you can use to decide if two email addresses refer to the same inbox.

Each provider has their own rules for what emails they consider identical, and you need to either invent your own rules, or learn what theirs are, depending on why you are doing this.

Using Unicode aware string comparisons doesn't solve the issue any more than byte-wise comparison or ascii case-insensitive comparison.
>Another reason people say that is because anti-Zionism is demonstrably correlated with anti-semitism

This isnt true at all. The far right, for example, are pretty openly antisemitic. If somebody takes pains to distinguish the two on the other hand they're rarely bullshitting.

The converse is true though. Attempts to conflate antizionism and antisemitism by are almost always ultimately driven by a staunch belief in Jewish racial supremacy and racism against Arabs.

This is reflected by the views of the President of Israel, who is openly against miscegenation. That is a view you can only hold as a committed racist. Few would argue that a white president who doesnt want any white daughters to marry a black man is anything else.

For some reason the Israeli state not only gets a pass, they are granted the authority to judge what constitutes racism not only by America, but also by IHRA.

A book I’d recommend: “A Philosophy of Software Design” by John Ousterhout
The money within the contract wasn't the problem, that was transferred out as part of closing the program.

However there were other assets on the chain that are locked using the program which are now inaccessible because its inoperable.

Consider it like an operation that closes and deletes your user-account but returns you an archive of your home directory when it's complete. However all files that weren't in your home directory that were encrypted with your local user key now can't be read.

It's likely infeasible to predicate program deletion on the program no longer being referenced in other programs/contracts.

It's worth pointing out that retaliation, itself, is not illegal or even necessarily morally dubious. If a company were to retaliate against an employee for stealing by firing them no reasonable person would find fault with that.

Only retaliation for a protected activity is illegal. Is interfering with or undermining the company's business prospects in service of a political opinion a protected activity? I don't know, but it would not surprise me if it were not.

To be entirely honest, I'm not sure I think it should be. I can certainly imagine a lot of scenarios where I would not approve of people motivated by certain political opinions actively working against the interests of the company that employed me.
