> foams can be raw materials, but they can also be packing material

That's what sub-categories are for:

/foam/packaging/wrap or /foam/sound-absorbing/countoured

Hardware isn't some special case to abandon hierarchy. Hardware is perfectly suited to neat categories.

The site dips its toe into categories, but goes no deeper than /foam, even though it clearly lists about 20 foam categories. Each of those can be clicked, but the URL remains /foam. I highly doubt this is by design.

You mentioned packing foam. What if you wanted to send a link to your colleague showing all the packing foam this site offered? You can't do it easily. The best you can do at first glance, is send them to /foam and tell them to scroll down to "packaging and shipping" where 7 sub-categories of packing foam are listed.

There actually is a way to get the link to packaging foam, but you have to use the search bar to type it in manually. But don't press enter! You'll get taken somewhere else if you press enter, you must choose from the drop-down.

Amusingly, the site search doesn't want to respect my search term. When I search for "pickles" it takes me to "picks and pullers". What it should do is tell me it has no matches for pickles, but offer a suggestion.

Anyway, all good.. it's nice and fast and no doubt much loved site for parts pickers who know the part they want.
How is the presence of a submarine detection helicopter evidence that it was Russia?
Ok as a compromise perhaps developers can show custom content in the title bar for a few seconds after startup. That way, the developer can show that they have mastered control of that area, while the user can still drag the window. Win-win.

Would you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN? You've been doing it repeatedly, unfortunately. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for, so we have to ban accounts that do this, so please stop doing this.

It's fine not to use your real name on HN but it's not fine to break the site guidelines. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
I mean, to give a different guess - it could be to ask her to e.g. stop bullying other members of their department; no differently than the politics of dealing with an employee from a different department stirring up trouble. This doesn't mean that it's intimidation or "trying to get her fired" (although I am sure that does happen).

IMO she does generally tend to suffer a bit of a victim complex.
O(1) would mean same storage requirement regardless of element count.
To look at art and see it as something to destroy for profit is just breathtakingly miserable. Like watching a sunset and only thinking of smashing it for souvenirs.

This is the same mindset that spraypaints over cave paintings and burnt the library of Alexandria. There's lots more money and technology involved, but it's still such an empty viewpoint and equally pitiable.
Maybe it is not the best system, but isnt it at least relatively fair and transparent in compare to "having luck on interviewer's stack/xp"?

Perhaps add “article author” or something similar, as it is not obvious on some of your comments. Thank you for your write up about such a personal topic.
At least putting in wires is easier than putting in gas pumps.

Unfortunately the real obstacle is building management having to do anything at all so it wouldn't matter even if the wires were free.
> the deep integration with accounts you accumulate over time, one click sign-on is easy but with its tradeoffs

I was lucky in that the first time I encountered one-click sign-on was in the early days when Facebook was aggressively pushing it. There was no way in hell I would give Facebook the discretion to allow me access to integrated services, so I created a login for the service. That lesson has stuck with me ever since and I'll never use these integrated logins. If you lose access to your Google account (which more and more people are experiencing for any and no reason at all), you also lose access to any integrated services. That's crazy. I wish more people would take that consideration seriously.
Germany had issues with Catholics long before III Reich. Check the Kulturkampf under Bismarck - it had a stong national element, as Catholicism was tied to Poles, and Poles and their interest in Silesia weren't exactly liked by German authoroties.

I don't consider this 'recent'.

> The biggest risk right now to our genetic success is overwhelmingly the fact that the people most likely to reproduce are the ones with the least amount of education.

Idiocracy wasn't a dystopia, it is a documentary...

Sarcasm aside: A low amount of education is not really related to genetics (some forms of inheritable mental health issues aside). There are, however, extremely strong correlations with poverty:

- poor families tend to live in areas with underfunded and thus lower-quality public schools, whereas rich people have better schools and can afford after-school private education

- poor families tend to have issues with food security, which was brutally shown by covid as schools had to stay open simply so that the children could have at least one warm, somewhat healthy meal a day

- poor families often tend to send their children off to work as soon as they can and are legally allowed to, simply to help make ends meet. That leaves them less time for homework and learning (leading to lower grades), and not being able to pursue higher education at all because having a job to survive is more important, which in turn locks them out of higher-paying careers and sets them up for being poor for life
As mentioned in another comment, red tape, regulations and general bureaucracy take a long time in addition to the construction process.

This is all very interesting, thanks for sharing. While I am not familiar at all with such degree of wealth, the first thing I noticed while looking at this list is the absence of personalities from other regions of the globe, such as the MENA and Asia. I appreciate the histories and relevance of the people listed here, but I am reminded, at the same time, that the wealth of other key people is not fully understood and ascertained, due to a lack transparency – MBS and Putin come to my mind, among others. In a way this is the documented wealth, which is anyway key to understand the world we live in.
Sorry dang, I did mean it more as a curiousity towards fascist Spain but i digressed into lamenting the book and communists.

For many of us, we aren't trying to get rid of the gmail account (as you would still need it for the play store on android devices and so on), it is to break the dependency on google in the event that they nuke the account and being unable to recover from it. Example: I use my gmail account for my bank, municipality and even our tax authority. If am not able to access my email address (and mobile number for that matter), it could potentially have harmful consequences when interacting with those entities. The idea is to be able to put the gmail on the back-burner and only use it when needed, basically to become immune to the whims of google and their ban hammers.

Her blog posts criticizing LIGO were based on a series of papers with very obvious flaws. She never addressed that it might have been a mistake to blog about it without talking to experts before.
The issue isn't telling people about basic things like you learn in a CS major - it's about taking random problems and solving them on a whiteboard without any errors (syntactically or otherwise) while explaining the solution, alternative solutions, and figuring out any gotchas that they love to throw in less than 20 minutes. An easier one would be something like this - https://leetcode.com/problems/combination-sum-ii/

By the time they've stated the problem and you went through the usual gotcha questions - you've already lost 5 minutes of the <20m you have.

It's just very intense and allows for very little margin of error. You have to be exceptionally on your game and used to solving these types of questions outside of an interview in <10 minutes.
In such situations I tend to ask that question directly:

"It was my understanding that you looking for someone who will help you with Django tooling. I can do that. Although number theory sounds interesting, I never felt the need of diving into it in order to solve any Django-related issue. I would be happy to learn more about how you think number theory relates to Django tooling should I start working here."

When people try to be important like that, it is paramount to take them at face value. In a lot of geek environments this happens all the time. People trying to push that one niche topic they really know about, because this is their comfort zone. The problem is: that one niche topic will rarely be a natural fit for any given conversation. More often than not just asking how they think this relates to the conversation at hand is enough to tame them a little bit.

Many times the stuff people say will contradict with the stated (or implicit) goals of a conversation. in this case the chosen topic was one with which the interviewer felt at home.

So another approach would have been to make it even more about them by e.g. instead of answering their question showing that you did your research: "Ah number theory! I saw you majored in number theory, I admittedly never had the need to dive too much into it — what role does number theory play in $Companyname?"

I've heard them called "vanity flaps", which seems to describe them perfectly.

I guess they're useful when the content is of low quality but you're desperate to keep eyes on the name of your site.

I hate them.

About the only thing worse than self-hiding vanity flap is a floating side bar using a slow animation to slide back into your field of view, just terrible.
> She also explains the ideas behind her views (which comes down to "particle physics are no longer useful")

This comment is in bad faith. She says the problem is lack of progress since the 1970s. She claims that either: The theories produced since then have been falsified, OR that they have been made unfalsifiable (and she names SUSY as an example of the latter). She says that she's a particle physicist hoping for the field to make progress - but she doesn't think it will do that until it makes some big changes, which she suggests.
The fiddly detail here is that big-O notation can be used to measure the usage of any resource, not just time. The poster above noted that an in-place sort might have constant space complexity -- although this only makes sense if you discount the space required for the input anyhow (which is literally linear in the input size!).

Wikipedia distinguishes two measures of space, "total" (including the input) and "auxiliary" (excluding the input). The poster above you is likely referring to auxiliary space.
This looks like a nice piece of work. I hope the author continues on it, or other fun hobby projects.

Yeah, they were talking about a windfall tax for coronavirus.

You were saying they couldn't do that because of shares.

I was saying the shares could be redistributed directly.

You seem to have decided that the shares can't be sold or transferred (and then sold) but I'm not sure why you made that leap.

>Yes, it's a derivative that relies on use of the copyright works.

Almost every idea on the face of the earth is a derivative of something else. This includes ideas from a Human brain so applying such laws is inconsistent.

All art competes with other art. And all art is derivative of other art other things.

I mean, sure. I know you're being sarcastic in order to dismiss the "Anyone but Russia" theory, but do cast the net more widely than Russia or the US.
No. It's not a fantasy. The Nokia N900 was amazing.

It functioned as a phone with a touchscreen to deliver the experience that had now become the dominant one.

But also, by sliding up the screen, it had a fully featured keyboard, and essentially transmogrified into a "pc that fits into your pocket".

So you could with a one handed push go from the touchscreen-only experience back to edit documents by using a combination of the keyboard and the touchscreen (with a stylus if neccessary).

I stopped using it because it lost software support and then the touchscreen stopped working, but I have it sitting here at my desk.

Every phone I have used since has been worse.

Exactly. The logical conclusion of that statement is "equality is good, so the fact we have few women billionaires means women have greater equality, which is good".

So it sound like we should cheer that so few women are billionaires in the spirit of supporting equality?

No one's talked about being on the interviewer side yet.

I've seen some interviewers really botch the candidate experience of a bad interview. One ended it about 30 minutes before the end and asked the candidate "do you think this is going well?". That felt like it really lacked compassion and while it may have saved time for everyone it clearly made the candidate feel even worse than they already did.

Typically for the end 20mins or so I try and give to candidates to ask us questions. Even if they've bombed I'll still give them that time. If they run out of questions early then it feels more like they've bought the interview to a close than me. I'll wrap things up, thank them for their time, and explain that they'll hear from us the next working day.

I'm all for a candidate ending the interview early, if things really aren't working then I have no problem with that at all. When you're on the other side of the table I think you need to give a bit more as you're fronting for the company. I also want to give people time to recover if things are going badly.
I think we no longer aim at purely physical strength. In the old days person who was not able to work on the field, in the garden, have 10 kids, hunt, fight was useless. This is no longer the case, maybe those kids when they grow up will be scientists or artists, maybe they will make our lives much better.

You could say than in the long term it benefits Europe/Germany. So maybe it is really Danish anarchists.

In the short term it benefits Putin - he removes target from his back by not having the keys to the gold mine.

Benefits Russian narrative of rotten, irrational, self serving west, USA/CIA acting like they own the world and etc.

Really depends how you look at it.

>2TB of mail storage represents an extra security risk for us and the chance to accumulate more un-controlled data.

You're suggesting 2TB is harder to manage with real enterprise management features and MDM functionality vs a provider who allows users to download a full copy of business emails to their personal devices? I like FastMail features, but if un-controllable data was the real concern then Google Workspace would be my go-to not FastMail.
I remember being told once in an interview "I'll be your google, your stackoverflow, so anything you'd usually search for on there ask me".

Eventually I got to the point where I forgot how to do something simple where you'd usually just google it to refresh your memory. I decided to take his advice seriously and asked him, to which he responded to me basically by rephrasing my question as another question back to me.

I can tell you now there is no chance Stackoverflow would be as big as it is if the responses you got back where riddles.
How would you trigger them? 100m down radio doesn't work at all. ELF antennas are nation-state level assets and need receiving antennas that are hundreds of metres long.

Acoustic messaging is possible, but again hard to do. Timed charges are plausible but that's a heck of a commitment (of course 3/4 breaches suggests a possible misfire - I imagine theres a hunt on for the last one).
Just charge them money? Or don't offer free peering?

Diving down 60-80 meters in the baltic ocean is quite advanced technical diving if you are just going to go down there and up again. Doing any kind of work (which increase breathing) at those depths is a massive step in complexity.

We are talking about cold water diving, at hypoxic gas depths, with usually low visibility. The dive would require several hours of decompression in the middle of a shipping lane. The density of the gas mean you can't even do mild exertion without severe risks of not returning to the surface alive. The explosions also occurred within a very short time frame (an hour if I recall) with a fairly large distance between, so you need multiple coordinated teams. And last, the weather conditions would need to be fairly specific in term of wind at those locations.

I would say its a bit like looking towards the amateur rocket community in order to explain a construct on the moon.

Any language can implement safe vector / array accessing with a `get` call returning either a sum type of throwing an exception when the element does not exist at the index.

Quite frankly, manually indexing into an array should be entirely avoided if possible, even more so with safety critical software.
Its almost uncanny the similarity I have to Graham. NZ, programmer, daughter T1 diagnosis about 2 years ago. A CGM and insulin pump were absolute game changers for us. We went with the Dexcom CGM (not funded) and t:slim pump (funded). The control IQ software in the pump is great and we have got her time in range to > 95%. One scary story to share though, as we started trusting her school/teacher aids to administer/supervise bolus and corrections (before she was on a pump) it only takes one small mistake to potentially kill her. She was had high BGL and needed a correction to take her back down to 7 mmol. There is a bit of math to do, but they made a mistake and corrected her to 0 mmol. Luckily because we had the Dexcom we were alerted. We tried contacting the school when we saw her dropping, but got no answer. We rushed to the school to find he delirious lying on the field alone. It could have been worse but we are grateful for the technology that we have that basically saved her. Needless to say, we don't trust anyone else with those calculations any more.

Modern economies are capital intensive.

So you need a big pool of capital to make them work.

You can't get that from normal people, because they prefer to spend 110% of their incomes and live on EZ credit (so they are a capital sink, not a source).

You can't get it from governments because people keep voting for unfunded tax cuts and services (so another capital sink instead of source).

So the economy is desperate for what billionaires offer: capital.

So they get rewarded accordingly. And if you tax them or abolish them, the economy will suffer enormously.

People whine about "the 1%" (really the 0.00001%) but they are a natural consequence of the way we choose (individually and collectively) to live. Don't like this inequality? Spend less than your income, pay off you debts, consume less, produce more, invest, vote for higher taxes and less spending - eliminate the NEED for the super rich.
Why are you assuming an explanation that depends on an irrational actor when permanently end European dependence on Russian fuel is a more direct, rational motive that benefits many other actors?
As I understand, the snippets in the suggestions are not supposed to be applied verbatim, but as generic proposals that need to be tweaked for the specific example (or ignored completely).

Note that it doesn't say to replace `.read(100)` with `.read_text()`; it uses the default version (without arguments) for both. (That being said, `read_text` doesn't have a limit argument, but that is a completely different issue.)

So you're right - if you're applying the suggestion verbatim without thinking, you will get incorrect results; but the suggestions were not intended for that.
