Perhaps are they chopping down more wood than would be normally chopped because they are being paid above market rates for it and thus is becomes profitable to do so
Citi does this.
EE/CE/CS should be all under one curriculum. Start people with basic transistor logic gates, take them all the way through basic chip design, then assembly, then compilers, then linkers with operating systems with things like networking/drivers/peripherals, then higher level languages, then more advanced things like ML and other algorithms.

Ill even go a step further and say that anyone doing any other engineering discipline should start with that, and then do additional classes to specialize. Mechanical or Aerospace or Bio engineering professions are essentially exercises in optimization, which a modern computer does 1000x better than any human.
Both inspired by Sinatra, the OG :)
That's good advice. I'm annoyed with myself for not starting to do that sooner.
Can we use this to render traditional apps (no js frameworks)?
What does Europe manufacture? So much of the products in the supermarkets and department stores and even Euroshops come from outside the EU.

About me:

I am a full-stack web developer (React, Typescript, Node.js) and ex-founder (built 2 startups in SaaS and healthtech).

I have over 7 years of experience in building and shipping end-to-end products. I have worked for big tech companies and startups, gaining a broad range of experiences. During my time as a founder, I learned to wear multiple hats, which has helped me become a multifaceted engineer.
Perhaps I misunderstand, but I don't imagine most individuals or companies writing production C code to be on the same "level of competency" as a research company as prestigious as Bell Labs.
SEEKING WORK | Remote Only | Los Angeles, CA
I am an independent web developer (since 2005) that specializes in complex CMS-based websites (ProcessWire / Drupal / WordPress) where end-clients need to be able to effortlessly manage the content. I work mainly in PHP and more server-side based solutions (HTMX, not React). I do a lot of website re-development (ie, sites that have fallen into disrepair and need a fresh start with existing data). HTMX, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS

Couple notes from my experiences (I run my own independent Harm Reduction organization in NYC)

- I rarely give out fentanyl test strips on street outreach (lower east side). Everyone knows that everything here is fentanyl and has been for years. It's mostly taken by people who will trade/give them to non sophisticated dealers who want a little more insight into what they are getting. (fent strips only show positive or negative, do not show amounts)
- Older users don't like fentanyl, for many reasons, but the main thing I hear is that it doesn't "have legs". it hits very hard all at once so you cant just do a bag and go about your chores so easily. There are all sorts of drug users who have varying levels of abilities to "maintain" the other aspects of their life.
- Most of the test strips that get used from my supplies these days are from people in bars and parties (testing molly, coke, ketamine etc)
- People mention the fentanyl in cannabis(and k2) thing constantly to me. I've yet to be presented with any real proof. As of now I'm still convinced this is propaganda. You can guess who might be incentivized to spread these types of rumors. People don't like to share their drug habits, so it's likely they took a bad pill and blamed it on a blunt at a party.
- Here is a video of how to actually use a fentanyl test strip https://www.instagram.com/tv/CaDE8XblaKy/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y...

If you want to support Harm Reduction outreach and education (narcan trainings, drug testing etc) where all of the money goes DIRECTLY to supplies you can support us at https://opencollective.com/dont-forget-the-streets. I've been funding these things for about 4 years solely out of my own income, and now need to start taking donations as my work life has dramatically changed.

>> this boundary will always exist, regardless of the amount of therapy, or effort, that is placed upon it. despite the psychological community, or family or friends or partners that could attempt to help.

That boundary can be significantly moved or even torn down. Psychologists often don't really understand how to help, so they either ignore it or do other things that may or may not work (or may be harmful). IMHO more writings are needed from those who have made significant improvement in this condition, the clinicians understanding is either too abstract or not correct (SPD is not same as AvPD for example).

I worked for a print ad business many years ago. They were basically running the same business model with the paper. Ads were placed in glossy and cheap/free pos magazines (cheap traffic) that mostly landed in the trash after collecting dust on the shelf. The bots consisted of distributors claiming high quality distribution while throwing the paper right into the trash. Everyone knew and hardly anyone cared because incentives were mostly aligned (mostly big brands).

I was hired to help with the transition to digital. Guess how that worked out. Next I tried running my own online marketing business. I thought not deceiving customers and actually providing real value was something clients would pay for. Some did, but competing with all the fraud became to tiresome eventually. Not going to work in this industry every again unless there are alternatives (includes scrubbing toilets)
I was expecting the number of search results here to be much higher - like who cares if Google only serves the first million results out of a billion?

Very interesting to see that Google will only serve a few hundred links when they claim to have hundreds of thousands of relevant results indexed.

I'm very curious where Google is getting that count and why the reality is so different. Systematic overcounting? Suppressing hundreds of thousands of results?
Pick a project and build it
See I think fees for stuff like this aren’t a bad thing because it makes it harder for spam and BS to get through. The problem is that the company has to be really truly good about their matching algorithm to make it work. Here is the issue:

Say the company charged $1 per first contact you make with a person. They can then show you people most likely to respond to help you get your conversation going ASAP and give you the highest value for your money. Or they could instead keep giving you poor matches so that you keep paying over and over. As far as they are concerned, the minute you fully engage with someone, assuming you are monogamous, you will not be a client for them for 6-18 months or whatever the length of an average relationship is in your demographic. But as long as your matches are mediocre (enough engagement to keep you going but not enough for you to get off the app), they can keep making money.

This is where hookup apps could do a lot better than lifetime partner apps: a hookup app will have repeat business with this pricing model and will actually do better in terms of expectations but a LTR app will lose you soon as you find a suitable candidate.

The alternative is 100% free apps which mean that bots have a zero cost to be bots and so you can run as many of them as you want. It is a problem of the commons in a way: soon as a certain percentage of bots spoils your interactions with the app you have no reason to come back.

Small rant: Bumble IIRC shows you most popular people in your area if you are on the free tier. These are almost guaranteed to not match with you and might not even be online having been overwhelmed by the attention. But if you pay, they’ll first show you people who have actually liked you, you know the ones recently online and ones you can swipe right on to start talking. This is the wrong incentive though makes them money in the short term.

I am a software engineer within the middle office F/X group that and specifies the creation and maintenance of data analysis tools, distributed systems and pipelines of data to manage post trade data. In a previous role at Coinsailor I helped design and deploy a decision tree recommender for cryptocurrencies in Django.

The languages I have used to create these systems are Python, and Javascript. The frameworks and technologies I have implemented have used Openfin, Flask and Python to interface with the front office F/X team with recording and enriching deals so that the correct information is persisted to various backend systems such as Sierra.

The large projects I have recently created and participated in the design an Openfin desktop application used to debug trade compression with the UI implemented in React and a Python REST interface that serves as middleware which also use Jenkins with Git for CI / CD. Also, I have implemented a feature complete system that allows for same day settlement with our vendor CLS .

I have a hobby of making Chatbots using Python with the Huggingface library. I presented a Chatbot at PyOhio 2021. Using the SpeechRecognition and pyttsx3 (text to speech) Python libraries I interfaced a conversational deep learning model that would have conversations with the user.
Show me the source then we'll see lol. I can't imagine the CDC pushing out informational materials that claim complete protection/immunity from any of the coronaviruses.
That's a persuasive argument for creating/maintaining a home-grown distribution, thank you!

So how do you explain this graph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox#/media/File:Global_nu... which shows the global number of reported smallpox cases.

There's a pretty dramatic drop in the 1970s. Do you have any explanation for that if the vaccines were poor performing?

How about polio? [2]

I'm just trying to understand how you reconcile your suspicion with those facts? Are Polio and Smallpox the "less frequent diseases" you mention? They definitely were not less frequent for a long part of human history. My grandmother knew kids who died of Polio and everyone from her generation I've talked to had horror stories about this disease (also why people her generation were a lot less reluctant to vaccines.. )

I'm genuinely curious in your perspective.

Background https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder
Nearly all houses these days have electrical outlets. A 110 volt 20 amp circuit isn't the most ideal way to charge an EV, but it can work. Most houses have 220 outlets, and adding one to the garage is no big deal. Few people will ever install a DC fast charger in their house, and that's fine because it's not needed.

~700 mile range and ~30C charging rates are ridiculous bars to meet. EVs with ~200 mile range and ~2C charging rates work just fine right now for a lot of people.

The main issue right now with EV adoption is just the cost of batteries, and lack of a convenient way for people in apartments to charge.
Express is inspired by Connect JS in terms of middleware — middleware written for Connect works in Express. The middleware style I believe is originally inspired by Rack, a Ruby project.

Sinatra, also Ruby, predates Express and is based on Rack (in a similar way to Express, which used to be based on Connect if I’m not mistaken).

I’m not sure what inspired Sinatra, but that’s probably the influence you’re seeing in these frameworks.

They may have been exposed to great teaching, but do they recognize it? Asking people how they feel about the learning without an objective criteria to measure their performance could be a recipe for a local maximum.
I remember working out how to do this over the network with some combination of the utilities on the windows install when I was a student at school, I forget which windows exactly given it could have been any of the outdated 9x sort or even 2k at high school…

Anyway the fun thing was combining it with the (surprisingly not locked down) netsend command, so my little remote execution script would pop the cd drive tray open, and then they would get an “alert” from netsend saying “Feed Me!!!”

I wasn’t the sort of kid that pulled a prank like that on a teacher or the whole class, but it did get some laughs with the small circle of fellow computer nerds that would spend lunch or afternoons in the library using the computers to fool around learning Visual Basic, or play 90s online games, or for the few that new me… play proper LAN games… since I was the gatekeeper of by way of my perpetual habit of trying to lift the hood and work out how everything was setup, so I found all the fun network admin failures like group policy mistakes that left the empty second hard drive on a batch of computers as public read/write for anyone with local admin permissions on any computer on the network, or setting a local machine folder I had sufficient permissions to, to be network accessible if you had the machine IP, or telling them which computers I had left the burned cd copies of the games in (which were fully portable!, bless the pre-network connected DRM days)

Ahh youthful fun!

I'm going to refute that it's a miserable experience because you're a man. As a decent looking man in a stable career I had a great time on hinge. I had many simultaneous conversations, and many dates that I had to cancel after finding someone I wanted to be exclusive with. We've now been together almost a year and I was in the app for less than a month.

This experience was highly location subjective though. I had many great matches in the bay area.

YMMV

The purpose of stropping is to break off the weak edge formed after sharpening so the smoothed edge is less prone to chipping.
I wonder if this could be done as a collab with another class, because I agree with this: "It would be nice to have recent grads respond to that environment with something other than a sneer towards the "non-technical" folks" and I've also seen something similar from business/creative/sales types that assume the engineers are just 'needlessly pedantic' because they fundamentally don't understand how computers work and that they have limitations.
I'm not familiar with WASI but I'll take a look. We're using Buildroot now and it's nice and small, but we could make it smaller by optimizing the kernel. Now, if I only know how to optimize the kernel without breaking things :)

Where's all those kernel hackers? Your help, we need. :)
I'm a freelancer and am not seeking clients right now, but I wanted to stop by and express my gratitude - both of my current large-scale projects found me here in HN comments. Thanks HN :-)

Well it's not what you were expecting, but your idea sounds interesting too! Maybe you could muster the same open source forces to make it a reality?
I think it would be more beneficial if you examine your activities and behaviors at work hours. The wouldn't be much difference in your work output if you eat launch in the morning or spend a little time with your family. If there's a «problem» somewhere it's probably during work hours.

Since she certainly has "people" who know this and advise her, I can only assume that they thought that doing this would reduce the effectiveness of the advertising. Someone made a judgement call (heh!) and decided that the expected fine, if prosecuted, was less than she'd make from the promotion.
> Hinge is owned by Match Group [...] AFAIK the only "big" dating app that they don't own is Bumble.

Bumble/Badoo have some Russian connotations... so the choice is between cancer or syphilis. Within the last 10 years we voluntarily have delegated our mating preselection to them... and "in real world" is even worse...

This is delusional. In the real world a jailbreak won't meaningfully extend a consoles lifetime.

> Panorama wanted to see if logs from primary forests cut down by logging companies were being transferred to Drax's Meadowbank pellet plant. The programme filmed a truck on a 120-mile round trip: leaving the plant, collecting piles of whole logs from a forest that had been cut down by a logging company and then returning to the plant for their delivery.

> Drax later admitted that it did use logs from the forest to make wood pellets. The company said they were species the timber industry did not want, and they would often be burned anyway to reduce wildfire risks.
