The fact that a service exists to make you better at interviews implies that interviews don't evaluate competency. If interviews evaluated competency then the way to get better at interviews would be the same as the way to get better at software development (books, projects, etc.). I feel like improving my competency is worthwhile but improving my interviewing is rent seeking.
Very nice - Any chance your roadmap includes emitting a set of TypeScript (or in my fantasy world C#) types for the schema types one defines in the CMS?

[UPDATE - looking inside the schema definition files it looks like maybe you're already emitting TypeScript types built from the CMS schema definitions]
I run 4 AirGradients with ESPhome hooked up to Home Assistant and couldn't be happier.

In case you're not aware, the kit was upgraded this year to move the temperature sensor a little further away from heat sources, they now bundle enclosures with the kit (if requested), and also sell [0] pre-soldered kits.

Sorry, I might've explained myself incorrectly.

I am European and I've spent in Mexico only 2 years of my life which is not much.

Anyway I cannot help myself but to disagree with "don't think people are different here (anywhere in EU) as in Mexico".

My experience have been the total opposite: I consider us, Europeans, generally much more distanced and serious. It was definitely easier for me to make friends in Mexico (as an expat with locals) than as a local here with other locals.

Of course that talking about infrastructure, money, security - that's a whole different story.
"Google should have launched a new PC game store that lets you download your games. For a nominal monthly fee, you can stream those games from Google's servers instead of needing to buy expensive gaming hardware."

Nvidia already has a product like that called Geforce Now. Instead of having it's own store it integrates with Steam and GOG.

There's still the problem that is a hypothetical customer wants to game enough to pay for Stadia but doesn't have the funds for a gaming PC... why don't they just buy the $300 dollar Xbox Series S?

It's unclear whether Valve is playing the long game or simply hedging their bets. My recollection is that their investment in Linux was expressly stated to be a hedge against a future where Microsoft put Windows in a walled garden, like iOS.

On the other hand, I know that a bunch of people are unhappy that the Steam Controller has been discontinued. Secondhand prices are through the roof.
Thank you for mentioning us. Since a few months we have an improved AirGradient PRO kit [1] that has a much better design, temperature accuracy and enclosure. It is fully open-source, open-hardware including 3D enclosure files.

Correlation is not causation

We can debate the specific design choices that Spotify or any other company has made, but my original point was to push back against the tired trope that using web technologies for an app automatically means runaway resource consumption and (apparently) the downfall of civilization
Ask HN: What E-Reader devices do you recommend?
I just saw the Kindle Scribe launch, but it still does not satisfy my needed features, albeit being my near-perfect version of Kindle.

First and foremost, I would want to have a good e-reader with multiple e-book store vendors (no lock-ins), with additional features like the following:

My good-to-haves

- USB-C

- Decently large screen

- Pen support

- Decently long-lasting battery (more than 20 hours of reading time is enough for me)

- Decent Note-taking & highlighting features

- Decent software (Onyx fails here)

- Pretty easy way to send & open files on the device (for PDFs/PPTXs/EPUBs)

Recent Kindle versions check almost all checkboxes here, but I would love to see multiple e-book vendors. I also read many Korean books and the Kindle store lacks Korean titles. Knowing that Amazon loses money for each Kindle sale to boost their Kindle store revenue, it seems unlikely that Kindle will open up external app support.

What E-Reader devices do you recommend?
I could do that in 2007 with 256 MB of RAM.

My linux machine that I have used for professional development for 6 years now reports (typed out the relevant bits by hand).

Power On Hours: 1142

This is a machine that has been used for full time development, running virtual machines and docker and all sorts of activity.

After all that, it reports only ~5TB read/written. That is mind blowing to me.
Russia made it clear since the 1990's that if Ukraine ever tried to go the NATO way, they would intervene... this war was a long time coming.

Now, you can't compare invading Ukraine, right on Russia's backyard, with invading or attacking a NATO country (or its supplies in this case, which has the same effect).

My argument was not the Biden did it :D is that really what you read from what I wrote?? My argument is that someone in the West (or just on Ukraine's side), not thinking rationally anymore, may have been responsible. That's the only thing that fits with all we know so far - lots of people in the West see Putin as the new Hitler... would you do everything in your power to stop Hitler if you were in a position you believed you could?

If you believe only a Government has the capability to do such thing... then it's not so difficult to find one that would be "desperate" enough. Ukraine itself seems to be the one who would most benefit from NATO entering the war, right? But would they really risk getting caught and losing the trust of NATO? I don't know, but when your country is half in ruins you may not think straight anymore.

Nice article. What would Hugh Hefner say about this World (I think it was addressed in his magazine once or twice when it was still published).

We are censored and controlled by (US) political correctness World View of

* App Stores: Google and Apple

* Social media platforms from companies like Meta (no nipples in IG or Facebook). Try visit Playboy IG, it's a pixel joke.

* Payment (although Visa and Mastercard are not against porn totally)

* Infrastructure. Good luck running a porn site from common known cloud providers (btw. Cloudflare is an exception in this list).

Why it is 2022 and we are not allowed to see any nipples on Apple or Google devices (only exception reddit and twitter) unless it's on websites or transferred on my own on devices? I'm clearly old enough but US companies trying to protect me by basically enforcing CENSORSHIP here. It's nothing else.

To this day I cannot understand to see easily violence and horror things on all these platforms but beware we see ONE uncovered NIPPLE.
Well, this just sucks about these jobs interviews. I learned quite a bit during my last job and I'd be happy to show some of these to the interviewer, but instead I'm forced to answer questions that I know have nothing to do with what I'll be dealing with. It's always the same story, it's just exhausting.
I wonder if it has something to do with a cultural perception of how life and the world in general is perceived. As in, "He's currently experiencing his first year of life" vs. "He has lived for one year", kind of "the journey" vs. "the destination". Seeing the present more than looking back the past. In the same line of thinking as "What you're doing" vs. "what you've done", or maybe even "making progress towards goals" rather than "accomplishments".

Seems like a healthier and maybe even more productive way to see the world. I don't know enough about Korea to say whether that has anything at all to do with the way they count ages, but I feel like it's an interesting thought regardless.

> async/await allows you to do multiple things in parallel. I don't see how you can do that in the virtual threading model, although I haven't used it and only read this article.

The description of this is that the virtual threads can move between platform threads, quoting from the article:

> The operating system only knows about platform threads, which remain the unit of scheduling. To run code in a virtual thread, the Java runtime arranges for it to run by mounting it on some platform thread, called a carrier thread. Mounting a virtual thread means temporarily copying the needed stack frames from the heap to the stack of the carrier thread, and borrowing the carriers stack while it is mounted.

> When code running in a virtual thread would otherwise block for IO, locking, or other resource availability, it can be unmounted from the carrier thread, and any modified stack frames copied are back to the heap, freeing the carrier thread for something else (such as running another virtual thread.) Nearly all blocking points in the JDK have been adapted so that when encountering a blocking operation on a virtual thread, the virtual thread is unmounted from its carrier instead of blocking.

This allows for parallelism so long as the system is multicore and the JVM has access to multiple parallel threads to distribute the virtual threads across.
The characters always reply in their language but can apparently understand most* languages. pretty cool...

> Elon: I care about animal well-being, although human civilization is built upon the use of animals. Therefore, we should treat animals well, and avoid killing them if we can. We should definitely not do things like skinning raccoons, hunting, or even trophy hunting, for instance.

>Elon: I believe all living organisms are important. In the case of animal farming, we need to prioritize efficient and humane agricultural practices that are environmentally friendly. Livestock is a very important food source and we need to be careful not to over-fish or over-farm in a manner that is not sustainable.

> Elon: I think all living beings should be treated with respect, and they do have certain rights. However, some living things, such as cattle, are raised for food production, so while they should be treated humanely, their destiny may also be to end up as food. There are a lot of good people working to make sustainable food, such as lab growth meat, and I believe this technology will get better over time.

> Elon: I have nothing against animals! My wife and I used to raise chickens a while ago, and we always treated them with great care and compassion. I like horses, as well as all sorts of animals, and always try to take great care to ensure their well being if I'm around them.

Another anecdote: I do a lot of powerlifting with heavy weight for a natural lifter (600+ lb deadlifts). I've noticed caffeine really helps me get through the days of extreme soreness, especially when I've had to wake up early or just generally had a poor night's sleep so my recovery is sub-optimal. I found this out around age 23 and have been pretty much drinking coffee most for the last 7 years. Granted its only 1 or two cups but it works for me.

I think you miss a really important use-case for stadia and cloud based gaming: infrequent players.

Such players usually use consoles, which are no better than cloud based gaming for forcing updates to content.

I jump into a match of apex legends every 3-4 weeks, maybe I get an afternoon to play because my partner has decided to go out with her friends.

What usually happens is that I launch my PlayStation and it spends the whole evening applying updates.

It’s asinine, maddeningly frustrating.

if I could pick up a controller and play: I’d be much happier.

FD: I worked on a game that came to stadia and knew about it before it’s public launch.
It's not complicated. It never is.

Either you believe in an open internet or you don't. Either you're with us, or you're against us.
>why is this narrative happening now?

I think that it has a lot to do with the massive resurgence of labor organizing we've seen across the globe; People saw how much bullshit they're forced to deal with while applying for and doing their jobs. Seeing record breaking profits while facing down skyrocketing inflation, in many cases without so much as a COL adjustment, and have had enough. Meanwhile, these companies know, even if they refuse to acknowledge it, that labor creates value; If you can get more value out of something at the same or less cost that makes your bottom line look better, why would they not try and work employees as much as they can for the same price?
So now businesses want to make it seem like employees are to blame for refusing to allow themselves to be continually exploited in the same manner, which is why it is framed as 'quiet quitting' instead of 'only doing what they're paid to do'.

I also think that the pandemic/WFH may have given people a reason/time to do some reevaluation of what is important to them, what they want to invest their time into, and what they want to do with their lives generally, and me personally, it isn't to spend my life clicking buttons to make some number somewhere go up.

just don't show yourself at all? that seems very preferable to some avatar, to me. I don't need people to look at me, and I definitely don't want to pretend I'm someone I'm not.

but maybe you're pretending you're someone you're not every day, and your avatar could be the you that you want to be? if so, absolutely go forth and avatar up! find ways to be yourself, always. lots of folks do that stuff, and that's awesome, but that kind of thing doesn't add anything that I look for in the things I spend my limited time on, is all.

Theres plenty of other ways to store energy.

Insulated thermal for example is extremely cheap and can be retrofitted to existing power plants. All you need is a insulated steel vessel filled with something inert when heated, e.g. sand.
If you want to go real fancy you could use quicklime, that could be used both as a bulk heat store and additonally releases more energy in it's hydration bonds than lithium ion batteries.

You can actually run a surprising amount of existing coal plants on iron dust, which when burned becomes iron oxide, which can then be recycled to metalic iron.

Northern germany has many salt caverns which can be used as pressurised air storage.

Southern germany also has huge pumped hydro storage potentials.

Batteries are one storage technology, there are plenty others, far cheaper if you just want bulk and dont't care about space.
It is a sign of the times devs would consider writing code that depends on random websites in order to get cron-type callbacks instead of using the timer of the actual local system.
The civilian air taxi thing is obviously a pipe dream. Not going to happen.

But in the process of failing in that market, some of these eVTOL companies might create some IP that would be very attractive as an acquisition target for the major aerospace defense contractors. It's probably impossible today to build an air taxi that would meet FAA certification safety requirements while still being cheap enough for profitable operations in US airspace. But it might fit the resupply or medevac mission for ground troops under enemy fire. The military doesn't have to make a profit, and they're more flexible on safety requirements. So it's a long shot but some of these investments might turn a profit.

There were bigger disruptions in the past. The telegraph, railroads, explosives. "The Devils" by Dostoevsky is a great fictional account of what all these technological disruptions do to the fragile social order in the late 19th century Russia countryside.

>>No, it isn’t a rational theory.

Again, I don't really see why. What's so irrational about threatening enormous economical and societal consequences in a situation like this? Surely it's a credible threat? Is it just the fact that I'm Polish that bothers you about it, because you maybe think I can't keep a straight head about it?

>>What kind of a limp-wristed warning is that?|

The same one as poisoning your critics with unique poison that only Russia could have and then denying any responsibility, I guess? Sends a message, which is the main point.

> PS: Asking because I want to delve into a functional language but I cannot bring myself to do this seriously if it doesn't translate into market value.

learn a functional language because you want to learn a functional language. Learn whatever one sparks your interest.

It doesn't matter what one you learn because NONE of them have notable share in the job market. If you learn _any_ functional language you'll have a leg up on other applicants for _any_ functional language job because hardly anyone bothers to learn them. Also, there are so few jobs in functional programming that you're unlikely to get one anyway. So, again, just learn what you want to learn.
The only difference between how virtual threads work and how async/await work is that you don't need to use await and don't need to declare async. Just call .get() on a Future when you need a value - that is basically "await".
