Regardless of who's to blame, the problem still exists.

However, if you're unable to work async nor be flexible to accommodate your fellow team members, then I suppose the company's recruitment process is to blame.

This is called backchanneling in English.

There's more interesting discussion here[1] and here [2] about it.

One clear difference is in the frequency: backchannels are very common in Japanese, fairly common in English, Dutch, Arabic, and Korean, probably somewhat less common in German, and significantly less common in Chinese and Finnish

Yes – and not only for government and organizations:

> In 1999, NetBus was used to plant child pornography on the work computer of a law scholar at Lund University. The 3,500 images were discovered by system administrators, and the law scholar was assumed to have downloaded them knowingly. He lost his research position at the faculty, and following the publication of his name fled the country and had to seek professional medical care to cope with the stress. He was acquitted from criminal charges in late 2004, as a court found that NetBus had been used to control his computer.

Ask HN: Were there any AR Adblocking projects before Brand Killer?
I remember there being something like “Brand Killer” being used in real-life in a YouTube video by someone like a University of Toronto professor to block billboard ads while walking around a city. I think it predates “Brand Killer”, but that’s all I have if that memory. Here is the link for “Brand Killer”.
Nitpick accepted - you're absolutely right. To be precise they licensed the relevant patents of course.
Today Show: pilot shares video of strange UFO sightings across the US
I work on a team that is split across North America and Europe, and or standard is that we all avoid meetings outside our working hours.

It’s understood that European folks try to schedule Europe-only meetings in the morning so that there is plenty of time available in the afternoon for NA colleagues, and conversely NA folks keep their mornings open for team meetings.

I personally shift my work day to starting at 7 so that I have an even larger overlap, but not all of us do that and it is not expected of anyone.
Hey buddy. I suffer from a remitting/relapsing autoimmune disease called UC that has me urgently sprinting to the toilet 15 to 20 times a day. Sometimes it feels like I’m chained to it, and can only wander so far until the shits strike again. It’s chronic and wears down on my mental health in similar ways. It’s progressive, so one day my colon may need to get replaced with a bag that dangles outside my body so that my natural butthole will be able to go on retirement forever.

The one major observation that I’ve made from all this is the role that stress plays. Reducing stress seems to have a powerful inhibitory effect. Practicing positive self talk (and catching yourself when you say anything negative to yourself) and moving the body with yoga also seems to help. Getting adequate sleep and nutrition is critical. I’m also convinced that being open minded to both Western medicine and Eastern cultural traditions (diet, yoga, Taoism, etc) has played a role in slowing my disease progression.
In the early days, I recall Bill Maher & the Dixie Chicks being eviscerated in the media for questioning the war machine. There were undoubtedly more, but IIRC, the reactionary mob attitude was de rigueur.
Some time ago I saw a TV programme with a couple that invested in housing like that, kind of as a side-business. They also gave seminars on how to do that as a regular person; the tagline was "everyone in the country can get rich by investing in housing!" Ehhhh...

That said, there seem to be multiple factors going on, all combined resulting in the prices we're seeing today: housing as retirement plan, investment companies, population growth, increased urbanisation, AirBnB and short-term rentals, increase of expats, dysfunctional government. It's very hard for me to tell which factor is responsible for how much, which will probably differ per locality, but I don't think there a single factor that explains it all.
biotensegrity is a fascinating subject
Unless you live right on the beach or another heavy tourist destination, I don’t think 30% vacation/short term rentals is remotely realistic

I reference Alan Kay, who's spent 50+ years complaining Xerox Parc only happened when they wrote a GIGANTIC cheque. Then forgot about them.

Good science basically requires atrocious amounts of money, to quite a small number of people.

None of the scrabbling for $200,000 grants for a researcher, 4 grad students, and some beakers.

Try 5 million 1970s dollars for a couple of dozen of the best and brightest.

There's no doubt at all. The physical sciences have always been, and always will be, an enabler of income inequality.
It looks really fake to me. Flat looking textures, poor lighting, awkward looking characters?
> As such, the authors find, science, technology and innovation research is not focused on the world’s most pressing problems including taking climate action, addressing complex underlying social issues, tackling hunger and promoting good health and wellbeing.

Not saying those aren’t important goals, but the proposed remedy doesn’t exactly address them head on:

In brief, the report calls for:

Increasing funding for SDG-related research and innovation, particularly in lower income countries, on underlying social issues, social policy and grassroot innovations, and research relevant to a region or context.

Promoting a rich diversity of science, technology and innovation pathways to address specific SDG challenges, including social and organisational innovation.

Designing accountable initiatives that strengthen science, technology and innovation governance and support open and inclusive processes of deliberation and prioritisation.

Empowering stakeholders to form different interpretations of what counts as SDG-related science, technology and innovation.
We are seeing shortages of chips initially taped out around 2007/2008 - think the STM32 family or the ATmega32U4. They are using technology from the early 2000s, think 65-90nm. For comparison the RP2040, released in 2020, uses the 40nm node. That's technology which is literally a decade old and it is considered a modern chip!

Meanwhile, TSMC has publicly stated that they are not going to build more 40nm fabs and is actively trying to move customers to 28nm or newer[0]. There isn't any profit in building 40nm fabs anymore, let alone even more legacy ones.

> Cameras are everywhere now.

They clearly aren't, and there are around a hundred arson committed each day in average in the US so it doesn't look like the sheer number of surveillance camera is enough of a deterrent for the typical criminal.
I would imagine it having video stream support as well would be a major difference
> You may have heard of bisecting from geometry or from git bisect1. Those are the two places I heard about it

I heard of it from when I first started programming and I cut the code in half (maybe 3rds or other units, close enough) until I found which part was breaking the program.
It's just relativism in action, no?
Good to see fellow old timer Mac user who has been supporting Apple since it’s system 7 era :)

Colleagues in the 90s would joke “so when are you going to get a real computer?”
LaTeX and Emacs share a feature, they are both contain a core written in a low level language (For TeX it was Pascal originally, and for Emacs it is C). Anticipating the need for extensions, both systems are open source and include user programmability, a powerful macro based programming language for TeX and a fully integrated Lisp system in Emacs.

This has allowed both to grow in functionality, year after year. Code written by users wanting particular capabilities has led to so many fantastic enhancements. No one user or committee could anticipate the many ways that these programs could be extended. Although, it would be nice if these systems could be cleaned up and modernized, this is only a dream. In practice, nobody has the time to start over on these enormous bodies of work comprising millions of lines of code.

It's too bad, because it's a joy to use ether of these system once you've spent enough time reading their extensive documentation and puttered around with them for a few years, but their eccentricities and anachronisms keep them out of the hands of many users.
Yes, Case-Schiller index is same-home sales. The only thing it doesn’t account for is upgrades/additions but I doubt those are prevalent enough to change the numbers much.
That sound nice until you start dealing with all kind of algorithm like hyperloglog.
Let's say the price in your desirable NYC neighborhood is between $1,000 and $2,000 per square foot. New construction is between $100 and $200 per square foot, so $900 to $1,800 has to be for the land it's built on, no? (And if that's a 10 floor condo, the underlying land value is actually 10x that number.)

Even in not-so-fancy neighborhoods, you're paying a lot for the land itself these days. I live in a <1M provincial city in Belgium in a semi-detached house, and a property assessor calculated that our house represents 30-35% of the total value of our property.
> did you think that most libertarians would disagree?

If you believe that a state should exist and should protect human rights, even so far as to use their monopoly on violence to shut down a private property holder who is causing damage to property owners no where near them based on economic externalities such as providing markets for endangered species parts, then what is the difference between a 'statist' and a 'pragmatic libertarian'?
With a lot of effort, tbh. And that's just to see it happening - making anyone care is orders of magnitude harder again. People have enough to be worrying about these days without online forum drama.

To answer your question a bit though:

* The 'dead giveaway' is basically always going to be some kind of mod drama. Sometimes this is fake drama, sometimes it's to harass existing mods out, sometimes it goes as far as print media and tv stories accusing a forum of bad behavior. Look at who is instigating it, how often they support each other, how much they're posting and commenting, how quickly they comment on relevant threads etc.

* Keep an eye out for sudden and extreme rule changes, such as moving political talk to a seperate (much smaller) subreddit moderated by known antagonists; or removing discussion of topics such as racism, BLM, etc. This can be a sign that the new mods are 'bought' in some way.

* Browse by new to get a glimpse at stories before they're removed. This is most useful when there's a story getting actively buried, or a narrative being pushed.

* There are tools that can help you keep track of users such as RES, or to analyze user's history.

* You can use these tools to find people who are fighting back and keep track of their insights, or keep an eye on accounts known for bs-ing. It's a lot of effort for very little reward though lol.

* It can be illuminating to post verboten stories yourself, then keep track of any strangeness. E.g., the story getting removed, funniness with the vote count, particular commenters rushing in to spread fud, etc.

You can try it here on HN, to get a glimpse of how actively some groups keep track of hot topics: Find a fresh story that goes against an industry (or empire) known for their online PR goons, and see what happens when you post it. Even comments mentioning certain keywords will attract attention. If you think that sounds conspiratorial - just try it.
Seems like game developers have gotten car racing and general environmental rendering figured out. There has been times where I truly couldn't tell whether game play footage it was real video or rendered. That all ends when characters enter the picture. Anything "living" just seems off, whether it's a human or even a dog.

Why can't video game use actors to model movement and looks and then extrapolate from there? Maybe they do already, it's just not very convincing.
It's more claustrophobic than Amsterdam generally appears to be IRL, and my guess is that this level of detail requires such environments, as it always has traditionally, since in large open spaces you have to compromise.
I primarily use mine for content creation, reading/learning, and as a machine I can take with me when I'm out-and-about for those times when I need jump online and fix an issue.

On the content creation side, I'm using Scrviner for writing, Snapseed and Lightroom for photo editing and LumaFusion for video production.

I watch a lot of online courses on it and use it as my primary kindle reader.

For those times when I'm out in the city, I keep it with me in case I need to jump online and troubleshoot an issue, do code reviews, etc. I'm using Terminus and Shelly for SSH, Github and Jira/Confluence apps, and of course, the AWS management console.

A couple weeks ago I picked up a Surface Go2 and put Debian on it. So far, I'm finding that to be a better machine for taking with me while I'm out in the city. Being able to run VS Code and Linux CLI apps on a portable device is an big advantage over the iPad Pro. Also, as a lower cost machine, I'm less worried about it getting stolen or damaged relative to the iPad. I never would have imagined that one of my all-time favorite Linux devices would be made by M$...

On my MacBook Pro, I have rules in my /etc/hosts that remap Facebook and Insta to a local page that reminds me to get back to work. So, I do all my social media from the iPad and prevent time-wasting and doomscrolling from my workhorse machine.
Yes. I thought this was another "I have OCD and can only program if I sit at the computer in a 5 hour session" thread, but it seems you just have a job without a standard 9-5 schedule. Most software engineering jobs are 9-5, perhaps that changed with startup culture but it certainly hasn't gone away.
You're supposed to tell us what those words meant, not just surrender!
I puchased a cheap Geiger counter on amazon for about 70€ a while ago. While I would like to know if it works well, I have no idea how to test it. When switched on, there a beeps from time to time and a value in MicroSievert is displayed. But how should I know if it is measuring correctly?

I own a small Tritium capsule, which is a beta radiator, but that does not seem to emit any radiation according to my Geiger counter. Also, I puchased two glas pearls which contain a little bit of uraniumoxide, but that does not give any results, either.

s you can see, unfortunately I cannot tell you if my Geiger counter is acceptable.
I wonder when Firefox will turn on that flag (and why it's still off by default). Is their implementation not yet fully-tested?

Most UI frameworks, such as React, operate as if they are informal state machines. Each component is a state/nested state, they have their mount/unmount logic as onEnter/onExit transitions for the state, most of the event handlers the application cares about will be added or torn down within the context of that state, i.e. onClicks, onSubmit, onKeyPress, onChange, data loaded, etc.
My MacBook M1 is as fast plugged or unplugged, never warm, always silent, and last so many hours on battery that I don’t bring a charger with me most of the time.
Duly upvoted then!
A lot of the high profile python libraries are definitely more libraries than frameworks. Like eg the data side libraries. The default programming experience with the largish standard library and the natural way to pick specific libs of PyPi that don't care about "what framework" you are in.

Or in areas that do end up having to do the "don't call us, we'll call you" hollyood principle due to reactive nature, there's at least significant amount of choice and there's not one to rule them all (FastAPI, Flask, Django on the web side for example)
This is a massive problem and nothing new... Kerry Buckley whilst at BT in the UK created this masterpiece that sums it up pretty much spot on -

The consultancies also sought to destroy its real meaning.

Now we have the (Product) Empire Strikes Back - sales and product people claiming agile failed and that they should have all the power again by claiming Marty Cagan says so.

No one ever really wanted to let the developers make decisions at higher levels.

DeFi's growing pains: As TVL raises, so does the probability of being hacked
That's not why audio processing software uses floats. Floats are used because they effectively let you decouple scale from precision. With scaled integers, soft sounds only have a few bits of precision, while loud sounds are very precise. With floats, every signal is within 1 bit of precision of each other, regardless of volume.

That means you can raise and lower the volume on signals over and over without significant precision loss.

These games get more and more detailed yet still feel utterly lifeless.
So you're saying, for example, that after plowing how many billions into fusion research, when they finally crack it and can produce continents-worth of power from pennies worth of sea water, they won't actually start giving electricity away for free? Even though we've all collectively 'invested' in it through our taxes for decades?
Car prices may have stopped going down due to precieved rarity of engine options as emissions laws get more intense.

I really think the era of "depreciation" on cars is coming to an end.
It must have been eight or nine years since you last checked.
You could not have seen this 10 years ago. Tons of geometric detail (unless those bikes are really clever billboards) and lots and lots of texture detail. 10-year-old GPUs would have had neither the VRAM nor processing power to put this out.

Also this seems like a result of photogrammetry - so I think you can credit artists and the tools which make this possible.
I’ve read articles with various degrees of credibility. From this one that was seemed very credible

https://www.deccanchronicle.com/technology/in-other-news/120...

To this one that seemed to have been a scam

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/477482-paul-krugman-my-co...

Just to be clear. I don’t mean that Krugman was lying and he was actually downloading child porn and he was trying to cover his tracks. I mean that someone fooled him into thinking that he had been hacked. To make it more clear. There was no indication that Krugman ever had child porn on his computer that either he downloaded or that he was hacked.
The only real use-case of crypto is value transfer that is immune to government interference - I don't think anyone is denying that.

But for the vast majority of businesses which interact with the real world, it doesn't matter whether the actual logic is on a bulletproof, uncensorable VM if the government can just go after the few input/output points where the system interacts with the real world.

Therefore, it's no better than just running SQLite and much worse because crypto makes significant tradeoffs (to be resistant to adversary interference) that aren't actually useful here.
An environment this rich with detail will affect senses other than sight. The smells, temperature, ambient sounds and things all contribute to making it real. Peripheral vision and the combination of all these other senses make the experience.

Seeing the whole thing on 2D screen, i feel, makes it less realistic as the graphics improve. The difference between reality and the screen becomes more stark.

If it were liken cartoon, i think I'd suspend reality better just to be in it. This leaps away from artificial into reality and doesn't get there thereby raising my expectations and then disappointing me.

Great technological achievements though.
We have basically three causal options on vaccine reactions assuming you believe the CDC and doctors who admitted patients to the hospital.

1. The vaccine mRNA code is buggy and has side effects beyond the spike protein it creates.

2. The vaccine lipid nano-particles are causing side effects in addition to the spike protein.

3. We don't fully understand the effects of the spike protein and most or all of the vaccine side effects are actually associated with the virus spike.

If it's case 1 or 2, then the vaccine is simply bad. If it's case 3, then vaccine side effects are actually analogous to long covid.

The third case is the least "alarmist" take of the three. In the third case, the only issue with the article in question is quantity and not counting enough of these side effects in their long covid analysis.

The answer is yes. Just look at how Facebook dropped the ball with the Rohingya genocide in 2016. The world is a large place, 8 billion people, almost 200 countries, even more languages.

Microsoft and Apple both employ almost 200,000 people, Facebook employs 80,000. Even Activision Blizzard employs 10,000.

New Google big language model Flan-T5 available on HuggingFace
Putin is just one man, and he can do nothing without supporters. It is the Putin regime which is in power, and were Putin alone to fall from power it's not clear that anything substantial would change.

During WW2, had Hitler's assassins been successful and Himmler had taken over, it's not likely that the Holocaust would have been prevented and Germany might have been even more effective during the war without the bumbling Hitler in charge.

Meaningful change will only come from replacing the entire regime, not just one man.

But the Putin regime has been very successful in completely neutering all of its opposition, so it's not clear where such regime change will come from. Maybe from the general public, but they have been cowed in to submission or bought in to the propaganda.

One thing that could throw a monkey wrench in to the works is the use of nuke or even just Putin's order to use nukes. Then he may well be assassinated or his regime toppled by people who don't want the world to end.

Putin is likely very aware of this threat to his rule, so it's unlikely he will use nukes deliberately. But there is still too high a chance that nukes will be used accidentally, as the world has repeatedly come close to accidental nuclear war even in peacetime. During outright war and in a time of such heightened paranoia, the odds of accidental nuclear war are much higher.
~5 years ago, I had a lunch interview with a candidate from IBM working on OpenStack. He complained it took forever to pass all integration tests for any changes. The ecosystems were so fragmented, and several large vendors were participating, and each had its interests.
