To build on your metaphor though, there are cabbies with "the knowledge" in London, and probably similar folks in Paris. The way I have seen this work in tech is, you have to keep the people who know where the bodies are buried around for a long time, and others will use them as a resource to inform their efforts. The alternative, of letting them walk over the years, is that large sections of your stack will have "here be dragons" written over them and become no-go zones where your only option is to route not only engineering but business efforts around them.
What's the advantage of seeing the diff in HTML?

Seems like an unnecessary extra step.
The main thing that makes a place desirable to live in is good infrastructure: water, climate, education, healthcare, transportation. A place that has all of those attracts people; work arises where people want to live; good work pays for the infrastructure and makes it more likely that people want to live there.

It's a chicken-and-egg problem, made worse by people who want to not pay for the infrastructure and maintenance.

Yeah, but it also requires some degree of wealth to homeschool. Two parents working full time, or a single parent working full time, are going to be hard-pressed to set up a decent homeschooling environment. You can rely on the "non-location based charter school"'s curriculum and staff quite a bit, but then (1) you won't be that different from traditional schooling, and (2) they can't provide all-day supervision or anything close (for younger ages when it's necessary).
Point is, "the law" moves slower than emergencies unfold. Individuals and corporations have the right to enact and enforce their own rules on their own property, within reason.

Yes this is copy and pasted on every crypto thread. Tulip Mania, dot-com bubble, fomo, a Ponzi scheme with no substitute for Charles Ponzi. It's so decentralized it's dangerous AND somehow simply controlled by a single Madoff-like entity.

Do you have any thoughts about the subject of the article? If not please add another hot take like "crypto uses too much energy!"
Be careful with the echo chamber you Want to believe in vs what it is. There’s plenty of incompetent people at FAANG or in HN.

You'd think that but personal data piles up quickly and the individuals who make it up dispensary. It's a little like saying any particular dollar is unique; I suppose it is but if you get enough of them nobody cares. I think expecting Facebook to treat all of their data as if it's ITAR is unfortunately unrealistic, we're not all that unique or special and if you use the internet your data has already been leaked or is otherwise public

This is interesting. The Walter Segal self-build method is another approach that aims to use common materials (lumber, plywood, insulation) with little cutting so as to reduce labor and allow for later disassembly+reuse.

https://theprepared.org/features-feed/segal-method

With many of these less common methods it's more work to show safety, code compliance, etc. For example the Segal method doesn't really allow for modern levels of air sealing and insulation.
Definitely not the case. I used to work there - lots of colleagues from outside the ivies etc. Lots of people who didn't go to college for CS, and in some cases did not go to a traditional college at all. Are there a lot of people from e.g. MIT? Yeah, because MIT is a good school and produces lots of people you want to hire.
The entire conversation is about laptop and desktop OSes. The complaint is that all OSes for these devices have changed for the worse and continue to do so. These devices will continue to be produced and used, but by fewer people. These people are the ones who hate the UIs in newer OSes.

Most people may move to iOS and Android, but that's a moot point since those aren't the people or the OSes that the article is about.
The technical team leader. Staffing is management/HR at the behest of and under the direction of the team lead.
There's a fascinating contrast in strategies:

Ukraine went fast and aggressive with the Ghost of Kiev and Snake Island propaganda. Russia: silence.

And you see it still today. Just this week, Ukraine claimed a pensioner shot down a Russian plane with a rifle. Meanwhile Russia just releases very dry Ministry of Defence updates.

I'm not sure if it's a strategy or a focus on domestic approval over foreign, but it sure is interesting to watch.
This takes me back to when I was still in the (Dutch) navy, there was a project to replace the submarines and as part of the upgrade they were planning to replace the old periscope mast with an upgraded optronic system. This was basically a webcam on a pedestal that would quickly go above water, take a 360 degree photograph and then dip below the waves again. This would take mere seconds, minimizing the time that the submarine would be visible. The data could then be analyzed at length while safely underwater.

However, the newer system was so much faster that the GPS antenna mounted on the periscope mast could not get a fix in time. If they wanted a position fix as well as a look around, they would need to leave the mast up much longer. (Submarine navigation is much more difficult than navigation for surface vessels, basically all INS. Getting a GPS fix every now and then is really helpful) By the time I left, it was still an open research question on how they would go about it. IIRC, one of the ideas was to simply collect a wide spectrum recording of whatever could be received and do all the analysis later. This would result in a position fix somewhere in the past, which would then be combined with the data from inertial navigation sensors to get an approximate current location. No idea if that system is what they eventually went with though.

Now your just fat-shaming.

But I totally agree with you, but how is weight any different than any other voluntarily arrived at (e.g. skin cancer because of no sunscreen and too much sun exposure) "pre-existing conditions" that must be covered?
Fair enough, as always real life is more nuanced than internet discussions. I know we do the things we do for good reasons, and with the best information we can get.
For a little over 10 years, I was both a full time software engineer working 8 hours a day and a part time fitness instructor. I felt much more fulfilled after a one or two hour fitness class than I did after an 8 hour workday at a computer.
They're getting paid as part of Jane Street's investment into their hiring pipeline. Then the internship projects got published as open source, which also benefits their hiring pipeline. There's nothing untoward about any of that.

At the end of the day, they feed their hiring pipeline, interns get work experience and some cash, and we all get some genuinely interesting open source projects. Win/win/win.
"What if?" is the one thing that brought me into computing as a hobby when I was a teen and has consistently been with me in my 2+ decades of work. Everyone has different motivators, but for me, this has been the single most powerful driver of all my successful projects.

Along the way, I learned that when "what if?" becomes "I have to", the drive in me just dies. So I've had to learn how to stay in "what if?" mindset even when I have a deliverable I have committed to.

Sometimes, this means picking at a totally unimportant part of a project, getting it working and then—while in the same mental groove—shift to delivering the core feature.
Sounds like MMO grinds to me

lol, okay, maybe before you have a couple $50k/yr revenue customers that rely on that legacy/tech-debt to run their business.

ask windows/office devs or linux kernel devs how often they get to fix all that tech debt.

Statistically a large proportion of those people have spent a decade or more avoiding any work at all while making the most of the free salad.

Unlike the Xoogler waves of people who wanted a new challenge and spread Google techniques and philosophies all across the industry, many of the people laid off are going to be the ones who don't produce anything at all.

It might be hard for them to find work; or maybe it will be easy because of a halo effect but those who hire them will go on to regret it.

There is still one issue that I don't see how to resolve, even if you can supersede parts of the App Store EULA.

If you copy and distribute the GPLv2 code or a work based on it in object or executable form, you have to do one of:

a) Accompany it with the complete machine-readable source code; or

b) Accompany it with a written offer valid for at least three years to give any third party a complete machine-readable copy of the source code, for a charge of no more than your cost of physically distributing the source; or

c) Accompany it with the information you received to distribute such code, but only if your distribution is noncommercial and you received it in object or executable code.

See GPLv2 section 3.

A developer uploads a copy of their app to the App Store. Apple then makes copies and distributes it when people buy it (for free or for money) on the App Store.

Since Apple is copying and distributing that GPLv2 code, Apple should have an obligation under GPLv2 section 3 to distribute the source. They would not be able to punt this obligation back on the developer via option c because their distribution is not noncommercial.

This is a crucial difference between app stores (and other digital goods stores) and stores selling physical products that contain GPL code.

Best Buy for example does not run into this problem when they sell you a TV that contains a Linux kernel because although they are in fact distributing a copy of a Linux kernel to you they did not make that copy. They received that copy from the TV manufacturer or a distributor and are just passing it along.

Copyright law in most places contains an exception, often called the "first sale doctrine", which states that once the copyright owner releases a particular copy, those who legally obtain that copy can give it away or sell it or rent it without requiring permission of the copyright owner. That covers Best Buy's case.

Unless there is some way to argue that when I but an app on the Apple App Store it is the developer who uploaded the app that is making the copy I get, I'm having trouble thinking of a way to avoid Apple having to handle GPLv2 source distribution if they let third party GPLv2 code on the store.

First party GPLv2 code would be OK, because then the developer owns the copyright and so can grant Apple the rights to distribute it in binary form without source code. (It has been a long time since I've read Apple's developer agreement, but I think it requires the developer to give Apple such rights).
> 7% had more than $50k of monthly revenue when accepted

Interesting. What’s the motivation for applying to YC when you’re already on track to make 600k annually? I know bootstrapped startups with 20k in revenue and they often have VCs knocking on their doors
No, that's because GitHub uses the same number for both issues and pull requests. We did about 70 pull requests. You can verify that yourself by going on an issue and incrementing/decrementing the number until you hit a PR at which point you'll be redirected.
I had an original piece of art framed by a local art gallery a few years ago.

This year, they sent me a $50 off coupon in the mail, along with a card and a hand-written and personalized note referencing the specific piece of art I had had them frame.

Dunno about this, I did my MSc at McGill and got interviewed by Jane Street (twice).

They do have a burden. Following the law is table stakes. Now, are the laws relevant to a business the same across industries and around the globe? No. Does enforcement have its shit together equally everywhere? Obviously not. But making every team in a company classify the XYZ their component stores is absolutely doable and frankly an easy lift when the alternative is not doing business that involves XYZ.

It would probably make more sense to store the heat of summer into the ground directly, using something like a ground source heat pump. An additional benefit is that the same system cools the house in the summer cheaply.

My friend has an off-grid cabin and his solar panels were easy to size for all other energy needs during winter by having them installed angled towards the winter sun position.

He does have a small generator just in case there is a particularly bad winter storm, but even in that circumstance it just has to run long enough to charge his batteries, so fuel consumption is minimal.

There are exceptions but the point still mostly stands. Secondly, "with intent" the rules of the site explicitly forbid harassing or interacting so that's going to be quite a claim, even in those rare exceptions, to make let alone prove. Plus, a lot of what we are talking about isn't likely to qualify anyway since most of it is simply posting publicly available information, usually from the person themselves and still available from their accounts/SM etc.
The molecularity of the RISC-V architecture is going to be very appealing for embedded roles like this. That flexibility can be a liability for, say, a desktop operating system but if you've got an embedded system like a space probe where you develop the hardware and software in parallel it means that you can only pay for what you use in terms of ISA features. Need 64 bit memory addressing to handle all the RAM on your graphics card but don't need the chip to have an MMU? You can do that within the RISC-V spec but not within POWER. And with RISC-V there are ways to add your own specialized instructions for your particular use case.

If I were designing an open source processing for a laptop or cell phone I'd use the POWER ISA. But for a space probe I'd certainly go with RISC-V.
Thanks for the useful reply. I really enjoyed your deep analysis of my post.
Ask HN: Why will companies hire you, but not buy code from you?
I run a little consulting business that makes bespoke software. I also get headhunted a lot. When I tell the recruiter that I am not interested in working for them, but I would be happy to sell them the same deliverable I would make for them as an employee, they are not open to this. Why do companies operate this way? Why do they want to pay you 10X (or whatever multiple it is) what that deliverable would cost in salary, rather than just paying you X for the thing itself? This makes no sense to me.
If you earn $25 million in annual revenue and have tiny margins or many cores, you may not be capable of paying $2000/year/core.

It would be probably other way around if browsers, that just use sqlite underneath, exposed it as offical API for storing data and not that abortion of a database called IndexedDB
This was an active topic of debate back in the days when people still relied on modems. T1 gives you 1.544 mpbs "bandwidth" but the fact that it's "guaranteed" bandwidth means it should be fast enough for anything you'd need to do as an individual user. If you had your own private T1 line all to yourself, the latency should feel the same as being on the same local LAN as whatever service you're trying to access. Even a 56k modem still had a small but noticeable latency, especially if you're doing command-line where you expect echo-back on each character you type.

People don't really understand the speed vs. bandwidth debate, but they do know the psychological difference when latency is low enough to be unnoticeable.

The plot next to us is being built now, and when they finally started erecting the house it took a couple of weeks. They spent months with excavators and explosives first. That's what you get for building on porous rock I guess.
yeah, as long as its not the "US and allies".... if you are saying this, what do you suppose the response IRAN should've had after stuxnet? or was that fair but if someone else does that to someone else then its a call for war?

>Countries should start responding to cyberattacks the same as if a black helicopter landed and a team of commandos damaged or stole the equipment. The intention is the same and the effect is the same, so the mechanism isn't important.

remember stuxnet and what if the roles were reversed, what would your response have been?
> - People look down on console/logging, but it's useful specifically when there are race conditions or too many variables. It's way better to have several outputs and logs rather than a "standstill" picture you can only look while using the debugger.

It also works across every programming language and development stack. It can be setup across network and application boundaries. Debugging skills with logging is extremely portable.
Wait I thought empathy was the one out of my shoes and sympathy was feeling bad on someone else's behalf?
Buying more solar panels and insulation is probably cheaper. Seasonal storage struggles to compare with overbuild and lithium batteries.

Might be worth playing around with vertical installation if that's an option, this lets you shift the power curve towards winter.
GT is a top-5 engineering school in the US across many different disciplines, it's not just any public state school. A lot of places recruit heavily from them that would be less interested in other state schools (including most other state schools in GA).

EDIT:

Some context for people unfamiliar with GA: GA Tech, historically, was the public engineering university for the state. For other public universities with engineering programs, most of them were distance versions of GT with students transferring to GT for the last couple years into the 00s (changed by the mid-00s with some students finishing at the host university but graduating with a degree from GT). UGA has only had a College of Engineering since 2012. But prior to that, since the 1930s, UGA had no major engineering program outside of agricultural and a couple other things, with the primary focus of engineering education in the state being at GT.

Other schools had other focuses, but not engineering until very recently.
I think specifically any industry working in personal data collection of minors should absolutely have this governance burden. If Meta knows enough about their users to know Instagram is giving teenage girls mental illnesses, Meta engineers should absolutely be hoisted out of their beds if they don't have precise, well-defined, secure data stores.
Well that kind of is important if you want to force it offline legally!

"Yet Another Anonymous coward" in the comments there has a point (the commenters are mainly from the UK):

There is no upside if it goes well - the head of the agency doesn't get a bigger yacht, the civil servants don't get stock options and the minister has moved on to another dept.

If it goes at all badly - then the press rip apart the head of dept and the minister responsible, and the current head and minister who had nothing to do with it.

So the only motivation is to avoid every possible point of blame and ideally drag the process out until some new guy is in charge.
I think this is more in regards to university recruiting, especially with internships? I have no doubt about your experience with post grad hiring, college name doesn't matter as much after you have experience under your belt
A holistic treatment would not ignore such things. Housing is obviously not a strictly climate constrained problem.
