I have worked at two big companies (8k+ and 500k+ Employees) in my life and it is sad, but I can confirm. If you want, you can get by amazingly with very little effort there. As long as you get attention for your work, you will stay.
In investment banking (my roommate works there) people call it 'face time'. They stay in the office late to get in facetime. I hate the concept of it, but sadly it is true.

2 ways to succeed at huge companies
- do work they can't ignore (at one of the companies I was, I was doing Business Dev work and I outperformed my peers by 200x - I was able to chill a lot visibly after a couple of big deals, but I still succeeded due to performance)
- do average or below average work, but communicate it great and get in 'face time' without actually doing something.
I am glad to find you here. I did do some practice problems on rusty topics from your textbook 2-3 years ago. Thanks for putting it together
They're not exactly the same thing. Gridiron football is a whole category of football games, including the substantially similar US amateur and pro games, Canadian football, Arena football, etc. But all use the same type of ball and have forward passing, and so I agree that gridiron football probably is the more accurate term for this article. On the other hand, I don't feel like it's often used in real conversation.
It is illegal to sell a drone with privacy, all drones must be tracked by law and there are complex laws that require tracking where you fly them and preventing you from flying them in certain locations.
I found that in my role I was task switching into different domains and have a lot of trouble remembering the details a various deep dives and at first tried OneNote, Evernote, etc but had issues with each, mostly the concern that the storage formats were incompatible and so I would be held hostage by whichever app I chose.

I went searching for something I could store in the cloud and locally and could understand markdown. Lo and behold Obsidian kept coming up in recommendations. I've been using it for 3 months now and I love that it uses simple filesystem heirarchies to store the .md files. I can put it into a git repo and fit it neatly into my existing workflow. It is basically the perfect note taking app for me. Well done and keep up the good work!
I am happy to concede that there are ways to spend energy that are neutral or negative, like, say, pervasive surveillance and limitless data retention.

I think the point that energy substitutes for labor is generally fair though.

But honestly what I'm trying to state is that this characterization of environmentalists as worried about reducing energy use regardless of how much harm the source causes to be a straw man.

The point is sustainability and the health of ourselves and natural systems. If energy caused zero issues to generate then I think environmentalists would be banging the direct atmospheric removal drums harder than anyone.
> We demonstrate an absence of association between symptom burden and radiographic or biochemical abnormality. We suggest that the phenomenon of Long-COVID may not be directly attributable to the effect of SARS-CoV-2, but rather the neuropsychiatric insults may play a greater role in its aetiology.

This is consistent with ME/CFS, which the WHO classifies as a disorder of the nervous system. There are no known diagnostic markers for ME/CFS.

Some economists are going to need to do some research to determine that!

Likewise, research is needed to determine under what circumstances people best benefit from UBI and UBI like programs.

We already know that hope is one of the most important factors when it comes to the success of UBI programs. People who have hope for the future, who believe they can improve their lot in life, do great with UBI programs. They go to school, get new jobs, save to buy a house, they plan for the future.

People without hope will spend money on short term indulgences.[1]

One interesting thing is that UBI tends to increase hope, it gives people a stable foundation to fall back on while making improvements in their life. Think about how founders from wealthy families are willing to take risks to make money, until they find something that sticks. Having a real life financial cushion means people can pivot until they find something that works for them.

UBI isn't going to be perfect, some people will leech off the system and do nothing. Some people just aren't motivated. But those people are likely already not doing anything with life, and paying someone enough $ to keep them housed and fed so they aren't living on the street or stealing food is a net financial savings for society anyway.

[1] The most striking examples are people who grew up in neighborhoods that have extremely short life expectancies. If most everyone you know died before they got to 30, why would you ever save up money to buy a house on a 30 year mortgage? If someone's world view is that they are probably going to die in the next few years, of course they are going to spend all their money on indulgences, that is in fact a very rational thing to do! The solution is to show people an out, a way to escape that world view, yelling at people "you are wrong, open a savings account!" doesn't work, especially if friends and family are dying at a steady rate all around.
If this is referring to me, then perhaps you're confused because I was responding to a question about rewards and punishments not whether labels fit. And I never claimed the the question and my response were somehow opposite ends of a dichotomy. Indeed the connection there is the problem. A fund can be completely diverse and still high-risk.
I've read each of the 26 comments posted thus far. Respectfully, each of them misses the mark by a wide margin.

THIS:
Assuming that you're healthy and remain mentally/physically vigorous, answer the below questions authentically:

1. Are you sick and tired of current daily routine and lack of intellectual stimulation?
(You're obviously restless, hence posing this question).

2. Have you curated a list of startup ideas that are of interest and within scope of skill-set?

3. Has a restful night of slumber devolved into hours upon hours of visualizing the ONE product that will inspire the drive, discipline and creativity required to build and introducee it to the world?

Go kill it!!
use after free is really about the consequences of use-after-reuse. The bug is always there, but you don't notice the behavior until someone changes the data out from under you. Until someone reuses the memory allocation, your app appears to be working properly.
I agree that is ambiguous.

If I were writing such a script where I wanted to launch a background process, and then create/truncate a file, I myself would separate them:

date &
>FILE

Bash wouldn't mistake that, but a lot of shell scripts look like line noise and there are situations where bad form is required (quoted in an ssh, for example).

Obviously, people wanting the bash functionality in POSIX would:

date > file 2>&1

Bash discourages the latter form in my man page, but anyone interested in portability knows how profoundly bad that advice is.

Which is an absolutely TERRIBLE name for business software. Nobody works 365 days a year.
6.6% for housing is less than the 8.2% total average so it will always pull the average down. This is true no matter what the weighting is.

Total Inflation would be even worse if you weighted housing less.
optical switches don't really use debouncing, it's more of a schmitt trigger where there are different voltage thresholds for key down and key up. As the optical gate closes, the voltage on the phototransistor lowers proportionally to the degree of closure So the only way to get a key down voltage level is to actually travel the switch to the down position, and likewise for key up.
With nukes there are two problems.

When people say "nuclear power is not economical", they are really saying "in North America and Europe, gas turbines powered by natural gas are cheaper". That, of course, is ignoring the cost of carbon.

People aren't comparing coal to the LWR anymore the way they did in the 1970s because conventional coal burning plants are uneconomical for the same reason: the steam turbine is huge and expensive. In the case of the LWR the low temperature of operation requires absolutely huge steam generators, which are much larger than the pressure vessel and are in the primary coolant loop and safety critical.

People used to think fast reactors would be necessarily more expensive than the LWR but people envisioning a future for nuclear believe a system that runs at high temperatures and has a powerset based on

https://www.energy.gov/supercritical-co2-tech-team

could be competitive in North America. (e.g. the LWR is more competitive in China because they don't have a huge natural gas pipeline network)

The other one is the difficulty of building an LWR on time and on budget It would be one thing if they said it cost $7 billion and it really cost $8 billion, but if it ends up costing more like $15 billion that's a big problem.

Some of it might be the stop-start nature of the thing (the US planned to build 4 AP1000s, had them terribly delayed because of challenges building the first one in China, and canceled 2.) If we'd decided to build these at a reasonable cadence we might have applied the learnings from the first ones to learn how to make them reliably, we might be able to build them on budget and on schedule.
Sometimes I feel like I live on a different planet to the people on HN. I don't own $15k of ANY single stock. In fact I don't have significant savings outside of retirement savings (which I deliberately don't manage) of that magnitude. If I had $15k of any given stock, I'd have an extreme personal interest in the performance of that stock

IDK, maybe it's that I don't work in tech and I'm too young or too old or whatever (37, 2 kids) but it just seems crazy to me to think that for some people $15k in any SINGLE stock isn't a meaningful amount of money.
Yep. Was experiencing this at least as far back as 4 hours ago.
Having an under-the-table way for users to beg and skimming 70% of the proceeds is bad in my book. This isn't just Tiktok allowing scams, it's Tiktok profiteering as middleman in the scams.

Instagram scams are also bad, however I don't any place in your link Instagram is active participant, they lazily fail to crack down. Claiming these prove "the West" is ganging up on TikTok is the worst form of "what-about-ism".
Every time it comes up I see almost this exact same comment--maybe it is the same comment? I kind of wonder.

I never see any of this content. Maybe I'm not on it enough, but all I ever see are mostly just people talking. There's a guy who "races" pool balls on a treadmill, but except for that and an occasional person building some strange contraption, it all just seems like extremely mundane (and in my mind boring) chats.

Oh wow, I didn't know that was an option. Thanks for the link.
Discord is a commercial product that makes quite a lot of money though. Hardly a good example.

Had it been something like `ripgrep` -- which is open but yeah imagine it wasn't -- then I'd immediately agree with you.

And now I'm confused what point you're trying to make?

I mean, commercial products written in many languages are closed source and I don't feel that reflects negatively on any of them.

If you already have a company in the UK with employees and you would open a related company in the U.S., then the L-1 cculd be an option (although not necessarily top of the list). The other options are the O-1, IEP, and E-2.
Yep and Einstein got laaaaaaaid.
Can somebody eli5 what this really means? Specifically, how is code without dynamic allocation bring about predictability?
Can you explain what it has that onenote, evernote, notion etc doesn't?
Uh, isn’t COVID damaging on your system every time you get? Basically risking long COVID and death?

Also the more cases there are the more chances for mutation. The reasoning is like one step away from antivaxer logic.
What I've really taken to heart is telling a story of my changes using a stack of diffs. A random one line change to some sketchy function is a whole diff so that you can call it out as something to be aware of, etc.

Canada’s Experiment with Arctic Sovereignty: Resilience, Change, and Liberalism [pdf]
Abstract: The principle of Indigenous sovereignty acknowledges the liberal imperative of state authority, and yet simultaneously transforms it. Fundamental principles of sovereignty embedded in Westphalian ideas of state and nation-state are counterpoised against in other rationalities—including concepts of cultural rights, human security and more localized sovereignties. Canada’s experience in laying claim to both the internal waters of the Canadian Northwest Passage, and its more recent claim to the extended continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean, are a case in point. In both of these cases Indigenous sovereignty challenges the right of the Canadian state to make such claims without the explicit permission of Inuit peoples. Yet, gaining such permission supports conventional sovereign claims much the way is conventionally associated with the Peace of Westphalia, even if history was more complicated and less immediate in its compliance with what became conflated over time with Westphalian ideals. Meanwhile, land claims treaties in Canada’s Arctic along with new understandings of climate change and human security support a reassessment of sovereignty in practice, and an expansion from the Westphalian ideal to a post-Westphalian synthesis of Indigenous and state sovereignties. Can we still call such arrangements “liberal”, and is decolonization consistent within a framework of liberal views of state sovereignty? The Inuit experience at the nexus of Indigenous and state sovereignty suggests we can indeed, and that Canada’s evolving conception of sovereignty re-introduces tribal sovereignty as a pillar of the new, post-Westphalian order. While similar processes are under way across the Indigenous world, whether in the Far North or Global South, the experience in Arctic North America sheds important light on the evolution of sovereignty in both theory and practice as Indigenous values and conceptions are increasingly recognized and embraced by the sovereign states that emerged in their homelands through colonial state expansion.

TikTok isn't promoting the begging industry and does not offer "charity" type services. There is lots of cost structure around the OMG tiktok took 69$ that the reporter has no insight on such as "app store" fee, possibly bandwidth fees, or whatever.

That’s a great idea. Open source projects can always use the help and it’s a great way to build some developer cred. Maybe a good idea would be for open source projects to maintain a list of “low hanging fruit” bugs that new developers could take on as good first tasks.

You're commenting on a thread about widespread fraud in the program.

made an account simply to say that when you say things like "The bottom two are legitimately part of the Fediverse – albeit the shady alleyways of the Fediverse" its really obvious how poorly you think of these other groups, such that even if they're still people using the same software for this, that because of their views they aren't "legitimate". i dont really get that, but i figure i'd say that when you lead off with They're Literal Neo Nazis, 1) people tend to not care (and if you or someone else does, dont join them, defed, mute. just let others live their own lives ffs) and 2) not all poast users are nazis even if many of them are, same with fse or spc or any other given. also as far as "no one uses his instance" idk i think 500 people is a pretty big amount to have a personal dev server.

if you want to just live your life, stop posting about how some guy who has no access to your life beyond you looking at his stuff or being shown it on fedi. just block the guy, mute instance, set up a reject, and fucking focus on something else. theres other shit to do that isnt giving a shit about some nerd on the internet that you dont like. theres so many other things in fact that i'd imagine you'd enjoy doing much more than thinking about Alex Gleason. have a good day yo.
I do not live in NYC, so please correct me if I am wrong, but both can be true at the same time.

Looking specifically at the NYC subway, they are both over-spending and under-spending at the same time. In a nice example of the Boots Theory[0], they are spending money by the boatloads to keep the dating infrastructure working. A lot of it dates back to the 1930s, and it is impossible to get replacement parts. A newer system would be far easier and cheaper to maintain - but in the short term replacing it would be an enormous cost.

This is made even worse by it running 24/7. Without a maintenance window, doing proper preventative maintenance is pretty much impossible.

Some fun history: GE Capital sold its internet banking arm to Goldman Sachs, which became GS Bank as the start of Goldman's move into retail banking (later rebranded as Marcus after expanding beyond HYSAs and CDs), so there's a chance that some of the infrastructure from GE Capital will help run Apple's new savings product.

Nearly everything I learned about embedded systems programming came from either Embedded Systems Magazine articles(https://www.embedded.com/embedded-systems-design-magazine-ar...) or just being a paranoid SoB.

Writing reliable systems means spending a lot of time thinking about what and how failures can occur, minimizing them and dealing with the cases you can't get rid of. Simple is nearly always better.

It also helped to be an EE by education and not a CS major. CS majors can get blinded by their abstractions and forget that they're working on a real piece of HW with complex limitations which require design tradeoffs.
1) Assuming no issues with your EB1A I-140 petition, it could be under a year with premium processing.
2) Expect around 6 months although we're seeing anywhere from 3 months to 9 months right now.
3) Immigrant visa processing would be much slower based on the current processing times and backlogs.
Hello Peter, just wanted to bring this to your attention.

I can vouch for https://usimmigration.com.au/ for this sort of work.
It brings predictability because know you won’t run out of memory. If everything is statically allocated, the total amount of memory the application will use is known at compile time. Very important for memory restricted systems.

The technical difference is that digital color is always* a demosaic of a Bayer filter (or X-trans, or other filter), whereas color film has three layers of emulsion to capture e.g. Red/Blue/Green. Lens focus is indeed very slightly different for each of the three layers.

*There are a few other methods, such as prisms and stacked sensors, but in practice, Bayer/similar filters give better performance and that's what commercial cameras use.
