The thing that has always amused me about the personality types is that everyone is all of these things and how much they are of one or the other depends on the circumstances. You can change the questions very slightly and get wildly different results. While interesting in a way to understand human interactions and some form of classification of that they aren't usually something fixed, they don't really measure personality because its a whole lot more complex than these measures.

Most people still believe that your peak heart rate is 220 - age when the paper that determined this showed no one actually met that at all and the variance was massive, the same is true of Myers Briggs we are a long way away from the original science with the use of these tests and since no one reads the papers they don't realise how badly its being applied.
Until a study like that is reproduced and a plausible explanation given, it's just junk science, and should be treated as such.

It would be VERY obvious by now if nonionizing EMF was hazardous to humans at athermal levels. We've spent ~100 years using it and ~50 years paying attention.

SO many of the comments are so short-sighted. The minute Apple does something everyone else follows. Just because iPhone isn't the majority in other countries doesn't mean every single new Android phone won't also exclude physical SIMs and thus force telcos everywhere to adopt eSIMs.
It's $50 for Apple to change the battery. My Airpods from 2017 still last around an hour, which is fine for when I need to get on meetings.
Can you explain what you mean by "the natural carrying capacity of Earth for humans". You framed this like it's something that exists outside of technology.
It really depends on the platform and target audience.

For example for a website I manage that targets PC gamers, 80-90% desktop users use adblockers.
On mobile however the majority settles for chrome (which intentionally doesn't support extensions to avoid adblockers), therefore most mobile users don't have adblockers.
You can't take say Moore's Law for chip tech and slap it on to radio tech. They're fundamentally different physical processes. There are limits to radio transmission and reception bandwidth and range due to the basic physics that you can't end run. The inverse square law is a harsh master, for any given level of technology a transmitter 100x closer is going to have a 10,000x advantage however you slice it.

What they might be able to do is expand this to something like limited texting, or maybe down the line even non-realtime voice messaging.
I wonder if there could be a bluetooth (or connected) high gain antenna attachment for the new iphone they could sell as accessory.

I'm sympathetic to this argument IFF the standard were that I'd get my full pay, for instance, and then would be responsible for taxes later. I'd hazard a guess that conversation would not go over very well at all with my HR department.
I hadn't realized that was a different kind of record (150M degrees for over 1000 seconds). I suppose the ions have more mass than the electrons so that temperature is harder to maintain, but I have no idea about the physics of having them not heat up at the same rate.

I had the Bose QC35 IIs and had the exact same issue. My work laptop was in sleep mode and still they decided to keep connecting to it.

I had to either open up the mobile app, wait for it to do its stuff and force a disconnect with the laptop OR get up, walk to the laptop, open it, turn off BT and close it again.

Ordered AirPods Max and I've had pretty much zero issues since.

I can walk from my computer to the TV and Apple TV will prompt me to connect to it with one button. I can grab my phone, walk away and the headphones will move to the phone automatically. Magic.

That isn't even possible to do. Thus, obviously, it would not be done.

I was surprised to see this in a bugfix release since it seems like a breaking change, but from reading, it seems that this was considered a security vulnerability (specifically a DOS opportunity) given the CVE status, so I imagine that compatibility concerns were secondary here. This seems in line with how other languages seem to do things from what I've seen; semver is important, but in a sense not every change is equally "breaking" to users, and breaking code that's unlikely to be common and potentially is not behaving correctly in the first place is not going to cause as much friction as most other types of breaking changes. Put another way, if there's a valid security concern, breaking things loudly for users forces them to double check their usage of this sort of code and ensure that nothing risky is going on. (I don't personally have enough domain knowledge here to know if the security concern is actually valid or not, but the decision to make this change in a patch release seems like a reasonable conclusion to come to for people who determine that it is a security concern).

I wanted to use SSDB[1] instead of Redis for that reason, but it doesn't support the necessary data structures.

The findmy feature was in the press release. The aiming is probably only important for the sos case (sending the message immediately). Findmy can probably just update the location in the background whenever it gets a signal
If they tested horoscopes we would roll our eyes but larp as academics and it's taken seriously.
The analysis is, but "types" are just preferences/tendencies that everyone has, reflected back from the test. It says "I tend towards introversion or not, being detail-oriented or not" etc. That's it. Mind you, that's of no use to your employer who wants you to do your damn job whatever it happens to be. If you want the job, it's for you.
> the hard bit of being a developer is deciding in precise, pedantic, utterly exact detail on what needs building to solve the business problem

The process seemed to involve have a test suite to write against. So, essentially, you had some/most of your "business problem" defined by acceptance tests (produce these outputs given these inputs). Some of that process may normally stretch out for days or weeks during meetings - condensed down, provided for you ahead of time takes some of that variability out.

I was possibly a bit more surprised that less than 80% finished. Did they not commit code? Did they submit code but it didn't pass? Did they take too long? Was the 'did not finish' an explicit call on the dev side ("I'm done") or did they just stop taking input after X days?
I’m not sure it does, in the best case.

There are d additions, so the addition is linear time.

Each multiplication is potentially quadratic, but it seems optimizable since it’s never multiplication of two large numbers—always one large and one small number.
This. The hard part is keeping it going, not getting it to stop.

Also, if I understand correctly, the waste products are a lot less nasty.
Legally that actually is stealing. They must have documented reproduction rights. Misunderstanding a verbal comment will not fly in a court.

Ask HN: Commissioning high quality deep dive blog posts
Hi everyone,

I am curious what the going rate for advanced technical writing is.

I tend to understand code by reading descriptions of algorithms and trying to implement them myself.

This usually involves having a critical insight into what the code does. Such as the category of problem the algorithm is.

Reading code and understanding an existing codebase is difficult and takes a long period of time.

I had the book open source architectures but I never finished that book due to illness.

There was a deep dive into the .NET CLR[1] but I want to see the cost of commissioning deep dives into the code of things such as LuaJIT, JVM, PyPy, Chromium V8, Postgresql, OpenTTD.

I hate wires. I've broken SO many headphones just by snagging the cable on something when I try to stand up.

A good 95 percent of cases where I've dropped my phone, it's been wired to a pair of headphones and the wire snagged.

I moved to wireless about a decade ago and haven't looked back.

The heat transfer is not (will not be) directly from the plasma to the water. The fusion neutrons will impact a "blanket", which is water-cooled, and kept at a temperature of around 600-800 C. Weakening of the pipes and all other structural components will primarily be from neutron irradiation. Not to say that any of it's easy, just not for the reasons you suppose. :)

Did they consider doing tainting (like Perl)? Input strings are marked as tainted and anything derived from them, except for some specific operations that untaint strings. If you use a tainted string for a security-sensitive operation then it fails. http://perlmeme.org/howtos/secure_code/taint.html

Ask HN: Old school K&R C language. Is there (remote) work?

Old school C.
He used to code in Unix systems with 64KB RAM, that type of thing. Then moved to management, etc etc and retired. Given he is in a third world country he'd like to find C work to generate some extra income. Not interested in cloud or other languages.
Any ideas?
I do this.

> Where does one find other parents who are homeschooling their children?

I suggest starting with your state resources (assuming you are in the USA). Here are a couple for Oregon:
- http://www.ohen.org/
- https://www.thehomeschoolmom.com/homeschooling-in-oregon/

At the time that I was homeschooling my children, that was enough info to lead me to various parent and meet-up groups.

Something that isn't mentioned much - just like getting a tutor in college, its pretty easy for a parent group to pitch in for an occasional day of tutoring or lecture/review from an expert.

Negative concerns about socialization was never an issue in my experience or from what I saw with other homeschoolers, rather the opposite.

When getting started, make an honest appraisal of your teaching capabilities and home life. Be ready to admit where you have areas of weakness and stop when you reach the end of your capability and don't have support or a parent group to assist in those areas. Be ready to experiment with different learning approaches and look at it as an opportunity for yourself as much as for your child.

Like anything else in life, you and your child will get out of the experience what is put into it. Success takes effort. I think (just my opinion) too many parents let public school do the parenting. When I first started with my 3 year old (who was already reading and doing math by that age) I created a simple set of goals and a project plan and then reiterated through it as I learned more about homeschooling. By the time my second child started to read and write I had a solid sense of direction and a plan that I was able to loosely follow for the next dozen years.

One last tip: don't stick to the public school schedule. Life lasts all day long, all year long. Activities may change with the seasons, but learning doesn't need to stop just becuase summer came. Be flexible. Take lots of field trips. Have fun... OK, that was more than one last tip.
You're vastly underestimating the bandwidth required for cellular service. A starlink sat "cell" can do ~20gbit/sec (though I actually think real world performance will be massively lower). This covers hundreds of kilometres.

A single cell tower with 5G/4G is not far off doing that, per sector. And these cell towers can cover as little as 500m or less in dense urban areas. The problem is there are very real physics you come up against with this. We are really tapping out efficiency gains these days so the only option is more, higher frequency spectrum and much denser cell networks.

EU/German/Shuko and Italian plugs are entirely reversible and grounded, that’s what the OP probably was referring to. There’s no way to force an orientation (and thus a “polarity”)

There's nothing special RPs have to do in order to support Passkeys. It's just WebAuthn that happens to be synced. If the site supports WebAuthn it already supports Passkeys (As long as they're not doing significantly less common things like checking for attestation, which Passkey-enabled credentials won't do).
Yeah, I've noticed a trend in HN homeschooling comment threads where discussion on the personal choice of whether or not to homeschool gets tangled up with discussion about homeschooling on a policy/societal level.

There are some broad concerns about homeschooling that are not relevant to individual decisions. E.g. I don't care that some homeschooling parents use it as a cover for abuse/neglect because I'm not an abusive/neglectful parent. For my child, that's not a risk factor. And as you point out, it's the same for motivational factors.

On September 7, 2022, Apple Inc. (“Partner”) announced new satellite-enabled services for certain of its products.

Doesn’t matter because it doesn’t apply to language design.
Yes, but no.

It feels like magic because it really does get some things right.

But I find that in most cases, because it's often wrong, you have to deal with wrong suggestions, and be very careful about what you accept.

I feel that for most coding scenarios, it doesn't actually, in most cases, do that much but save a few strokes.

I suggest that if there is 'high boilerplate' - then maybe there's upside.

But for most things, it really doesn't help, despite how in some cases it's really magical.

I turned it off and don't miss it.

What I would however prefer is merely 'much better autocomplete'.

Somewhere between 'ok autocomplete' and 'code suggestions' is the sweet spot for dev. that's not boilerplate.
There are devices however that offer free satellite help signals. No data or anything, just press the button and it will send your coordinates to a (government funded) emergency dispatch who will automatically send rescue.
There will never be multi user support on the iPad until the iPad has some real competition. Apple has absolutely no incentive to invest resources in to multi user when it’s much more likely that you will buy two iPads than buy an android tablet.

yes

Sure you can often get esims “sorted out”, but… why? What’s the upside? Having the physical one “just works”, and you can swap them or put them to different phone or whatever. No need to “download app” or do some registration dance.

Seems like just another vendor lock-in?
> there’s simply very little data on how well the Myers-Briggs (and other type-based personality tests) measures personality and even less on how it might predict job performance.

Any personality test is bad in my opinion and I wouldn't like being tested in it but this statement and article feels like feel good pseudoscience. Is there any data on any kind of test that it works? At least for Myers-Briggs it has been tested and it hasn't been proved or disproved.

The dirty secret of recruitment software/processes is that recruiters are dealing with hundreds or thousands of resumes, the vast majority of which they will end up rejecting somewhere along the funnel, and they are eager for better ways.

It's actually pretty draining and difficult doing multi-way comparisons between so many candidates, let alone doing it day after day. And recruiters/HR are only human.

So any technology or approach that can attach a number/rank a job application is seen as hugely welcome. If Bob scored 56 out of 100, and Sue scored 87, then even if we have doubts about the methodology, surely we can still go ahead and reject Bob based on such a large difference! Then we don't need to spend a lot of time looking at Bob's resume, we can screen him out early on.

The dirty secret is that it doesn't even matter that much whether the scoring process has any real science behind it - the mere fact of attaching a number is so desirable that employers are wide open and begging for this kind of capability. At the end of the day, who really cares if Alice was better that Bob or not? Virtually no companies have the HR performance monitoring in place to even know this anyway.

That's why in the HR world, psych testing firms are not quite fly by night, but they are the kind of companies an entrepeneurial type can set up in a couple of weeks with very little tech but a lot of powerpoints, and immediately start selling to really big companies that will funnel a lot of money their way. Such companies normally make a big song and dance about the scientific verifiability of their technology/approach, even to the extent of having on-staff psychologists.

Many people would feel though that the process has little more validity than reading tea leaves, or drawing up astrology charts.
Wha? I and about 70% of my coworkers do this and never have any such problems
I donk't like copilot. I don't like sending MS my code, I don't trust it to not violate copyright, and from what I used it, it feels like using dall-e trying to phrase what I expect.

Moreover writing boilerplate is rarely my daily activity, when it is, it's faster to copy paste from a similar file.

On the other hand, few exceptional devs I know, the kind of rockstar 10x engineer, insanely productive and very smart about product and business, not just great coders, people that were leads in faang 15 years ago already and are responsible for high impact quality sooftware, speak very highly of it and how better it makes them, which crushes my doubts about copilot.
