That's the problem though, there are zero incentives in place for managers or recruiters to retain talent. No one gets a bonus when employees stick around, so no one optimizes for it.

I recently interviewed with Stripe for a leadership position and was asked about some of my most impactful contributions with my previous employer. I described several anti patterns that I identified with the development process that would lead to burnout and turnover, then I described the changes I put in place to prevent this outcome. Things like sprint retrospectives, tracking technical debt, prioritizing automation, clearly defining tasks before starting development, validating progress with the various stakeholders, upskilling and managing the career development of engineers, and a host of other QoL improvements to smooth out the development process for everyone involved.

It was immediately obvious that this was a dud in the eyes of my interviewers. Eyes glazed over almost instantly once I started talking about preventing burnout. And I can read a room, so I could have easily switched topics until I found something that received a positive response, but I was so shocked at the response that I doubled down. Needless to say that I did not make it to the next round. But in my view that's a true negative for both of us, because I can't work at a place that doesn't value their employees enough to design a healthy workplace for them to operate in.
Yes, it really is. Startups these days aren't using traditional rails anymore as much as either full-stack typescript w/ React (a la Next.js) or Next to make SPA and hitting a more full-featured REST API.

There is currently a lot of cutting edge engineering focused on the Typescript ecosystem (Vercel, Cloudflare, Deno, etc) vastly outpacing things being done around Rails, Django, PHP, etc.
Sure, I've done that before many times, as well. It isn't my preference, generally speaking, for earlier-stage startups.
You might like Scala (possibly enhanced by something like Monadless or Each , but personally I find the explicit for/yield approach very worthwhile).

Under some circumstances, e.g. buying a house, your address is probably a matter of public record--at least in the US. Certainly legal judgements and so forth are. Well beyond Google, deep web sites also store a ton of information on you. At least these are mostly not free these days but for $50 or so and a modicum of information about you, especially if have an unusual name, I can probably dig up a ton of information about age, where you've lived, and so forth.

Those examples seem very biased; often the Java version does not use a more concise method that's available, or bloats the code by not importing a static method.
"right from the Google app" i would argue this is still unacceptable; we should not need to login to it nor prove our identities to remove our PII from the search results. It should be hidden by default and shared only when i explicitly share it, with no strings attached.
Likewise, I think about Occupy Wallstreet and think how clever was Wallstreet to now have those same people jumping up and down for them with Big Pharma, the six media companies, and defending everything Nancy Pelosi does.
IQ has a map/territory problem as well. The theory is that you have some underlying IQ, and the test is a tool to determine what your IQ is. It is well established that practice can improve your score on an IQ test. However, that does not imply an improvement in your underlying IQ.
They likely analyze it
Before people state strong assumptions one way or the other, have there ever been any studies that measured the relationship between test scores and IQ? If so, what did they say?

Sure, but it's still worthwhile to point out factually inaccurate articles and deceptive papers. If they want to argue for how the education system should correct socioeconomic factors, they should do so honestly, not by lying to us that tests are useless.
I majored in Computer Science in the late 90s and honestly don't remember any of what you're saying regarding negative/hostile media.

To me it felt like a golden age. The .com bust hadn't happened yet. If you could turn a computer on there were jobs everywhere. The world was starting to get online. Linux was really gaining traction and Slashdot was all time.
That second link from W3C gives this very example:

https://w3c.github.io/aria/#example-13

"In the following code sample, the containing img and is appropriately labeled by the caption paragraph. In this example the img element can be marked as presentation because the role and the text alternatives are provided by the containing element."

<img src="example.png" role="presentation" alt="">

So empty alt tags are not discouraged.
Can you give an example of that? How are big corporations ruining your life? What has TSMC or IBM has done to you?

Where is the coercion and use of force?
IQ is the most reliable and most valid measure of general intelligence we have been able to come up with. It is good enough for many clinical purposes, eg assessing brain damage, and also just so happens to correlate very strongly with just about every "life outcome" you can think of. Does it measure everything imaginable about human intelligence? No. But it measures what we actually know about very well. To call it completely meaningless is absurd.

Actually had a similar experience at a hotel in San Jose (Courtyard Campbell) that I stayed at for a wedding. There were homeless people and prostitutes in the parking garage and when I asked the front desk if our vehicles were going to be safe, the concierge told me the people I saw were actually guests of the hotel due to some city program... I was flabbergasted and also really didn't feel safe having my 2 year old and 3 month old at a hotel like that.
I've seen this in non-tech (with tech workers) also.
The edge cases are more common at elite institutions, which are the typical admissions mania targets. At the top ~10 university I attended, there were plenty of people (myself included) falling in the poor HS GPA bucket (mostly due to extracurriculars) with perfect or near perfect ACT/SAT scores, among other outliers.
Or a lack of resources? (Unless you're counting that as a "leadership problem")
It's also wild internally. It feels like headcount is incredibly tight, and even tighter now. Like 20% of my time as a manager is spent being asked to propose large new projects only to be told "nope, no HC for that." But somehow the company is like 4x larger than it as when I joined.
I'm not sure if can or not, but Visual FoxPro is not that far from the revolutionary aspect of HyperCard/SmallTalk.

I often wonder if humans spent as much time studying the brain as we do getting people to click on ads how much progress we could make in understanding consciousness.

everything is a memory aka a representation. light hit eyeball, causes a neuron to fire...and already its just the memory of light, not light itself. that neuron passes along the info, which just re-encodes the event with other information. So just more memory. It is both profound and obvious.
Show HN: Xreviews: manage App Store reviews
Xreviews is a native Mac app that allows you to view and manage reviews for your Apple App Store apps. Just sign in with your App Store Connect API keys, and we'll import customer reviews for all of your apps.

You can search, sort, and filter reviews by keyword, date, rating, and more. Xreviews also lets you respond to App Store reviews directly from the app. You can even filter out reviews that you already responded to.

For our power users, Xreviews supports multiple App Store accounts. Have too many apps? You can hide apps for which you don't need to see reviews. And once the initial import completes, you can view all customer reviews offline.
What you really want to see is a reputable VC (preferably from Sand Hill Road) backing the company. That might be coming in the future, but for now we are doing well without VCs.
It's exciting to see a novel approach to applying NNets to Tabular ML. Definitely need to call out the 1000 row limitation. It will be interesting to see if this approach stands the test of time. Other algorithms (SAINT cough, cough) made big claims, but AFAIK no one actually uses them. It's still a "XGBoost is all you need" world in tabular ML (unless you've discovered AutoGluon).
This is the reason they did it. It's also the reason that most firefighters and others like them do not vote for politicians like Eric Adams. Despite the fact that he's a former police officer.

The DSM V provides 11 criteria, 2 of which need to be met for meeting the definition of substance use disorder. This is the standard clinical definition.

Control is part of it, but there are other aspects as well. Many of them deal with control, but not all. Meaning you could ostensibly be “in control” and still be diagnosed with a substance abuse disorder.
People were rabidly cheering it on too. Police going around shutting playgrounds and arresting parents for playing outdoors with their children, while at the same time the politicians they voted for were constantly and egregiously shown to be flouting the rules on frivolities, parties, travel, fun. And there were excuses for the politicians and bloodlust for the commoner trying to exercise or raise their child. Absolutely flabbergasting.

I used to wonder how on earth nazis and communists and the like were able to seize power and control of a population, and now I've seen it. Covid has been a really amazing learning experience for me.
Because they can be replaced by vaccinated people I guess and if one or two can’t that’s ok because they’ve still got all the other ones. Kyrie and the Yankees can’t be replaced.
I think most of the commenters are basing their responses on the (terrible) headline rather than what actually seems to have happened.

As comment 19 of the bug report says, "This bug is not about to implement HEVC in Chrome", and "Chrome does already support the native HEVC decoder for progressive download videos using the HTML5 <video> tag on Android". The issue description notes that as of Feb 2015, "Playing plain HEVC mp4 files in Chrome/Android/Nexus5 works fine".

This new fix just corrects the handling of HEVC in the Chrome's Media Source API (formerly known as "Media Source Extensions").
Microsoft bundles on-prem enterprise office and exchange licenses into O365, so I think those numbers are misleading.

> I think people want authenticity and quick videos/answers, so Tik Tok and Instagram are really valuable in that sense. Especially for things like recipes, a lot of people don't want to scroll through a blog and a story just to get to the recipe content (and it's so much easier when you can visually see a recipe).

There are some good points in this piece but some of the conclusions seem like downstream impacts of reduced density and not inherent functions in the apps themselves. As an example: FB's recommendation system was probably great when a ton of people were visiting, checking into, and rating restaurants nearby. Less people, specifically young people as they mentioned, are contributing to that system which makes it worse.

This also seems like a natural outcome of FB's (well-meaning?) intention of making a business's main website their FB page; this makes small, less technical business owners happy, but end users not-so-happy when the hours, phone number, etc aren't updated. To say nothing of the many aforementioned people that deleted Facebook and can't properly review a menu or the restaurant's posts because they don't have the app and aren't signed in.

If you see a recent TikTok titled "top 3 places I'd recommend to someone visiting my city," you know those places are open + what the vibe is like + the type of people that go there.

What's funny is that Instagram and TikTok are similarly inauthentic, but TT (seems to be) more choose-y about which creators they'll show you. Further, sponsored ad regulations haven't caught up with TT in the same way as YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter, secretly sponsored content is common but easy to spot. There are just as many influencers peddling ads on TikTok as Instagram. The positive user reaction is probably related to:

- format (you can only lie so much in a video)

- comments (if someone has their comments off you know something dramatic happened, also navigating comments on IG is a disaster)

- micro-influencer support
Well, I had pretty good SAT scores (2350+) and a very poor GPA (3.0/4.0).

Main reason was that I just spent all my time pursuing ECs and didn't have enough time to spend on grades.

Think you'll lose a lot of smart kids who spend time on ECs that way.
You give owners more credit than they are due. There’s no planning there, it’s all a happy little accident.

Agreed! Although, I admittedly didn’t read the post carefully enough to evaluate how accurate its analysis of the original paper. But all else being equal, we’d live in a better world if papers that get a lot of popular attention are subjected to this scrutiny with an eye towards explaining what works/ doesn’t work for a general audience
Though it may cost more, spreading functional knowledge across a greater base of people would be more resilient. Even if a company needs to pay an individual 10x salary consulting for a year, it would be in their long term best interest to spread a fraction of that knowledge across a larger employee base and document what is tangible.
There is a limit (different for different people) across which an individual cannot cognitively support an operation. With years more growth every person would eventually reach their personal limit or lose interest.
It helps to have teams of people that are smart enough to work through new problems and document procedures, playbooks, current states and retrospective reports and rely on institutional processes to maintain a coherent operation.

I just spent an entire evening a few days ago trying to make Parcel work for a new project and I just couldn't get it to spit out working js and css.

The project is just a small server rendered web app (using Crystal) that I wanted to add papercss, trix, hotwire/stimulus and hotwire/turbo to (using yarn). Anyway, I never got it to output the css for papercss or the js for trix.

Webpack on the other hand, I had working in about 20min. Yeah, the config is verbose and tedious, but at least there are a lot of great docs/tutorials for just about everything for it.
Absolutely this. I always use Expedia et al. to get an idea of the hotel @ price point I want and then go directly to the hotel site.
Really? My SAT scores were average for admit to the college I attended. I never had a tutor, never looked at test strategy guides, and took the test only once, and my parents were lower middle class. The people I know who got 800s (perfect SAT scores in those days) did not game the system - 5 minutes talking to them would reveal that they were very, very smart individuals.

Want to do well on the SATs?

1. take all the math classes your high school offers

2. pay attention in those classes

3. read a lot of adult-level books (I read tons of scifi)

and you'll do fine without needing any gamesmanship.
For the most part this is me. The only reason I go to a theater is if the movie demands it (Dune in IMAX was heavily touted, so I made the trek for that), or the Drive-in. There's a Drive-in movie theater that still runs about 45 minutes from my house. 2 movie double feature for 11 bucks a person. When the weather's nice, I'll drive there with my friends, put lawn chairs in front of my car, pull out the boombox, and make a night of it. I can manage the volume and we can talk to each other without disturbing anyone.
But HN moderators usually seem to upvote the complaints over the kudos.
Booking.com is huge, they're part of the same group that owns Kayak, Priceline, etc. Now, I have friends that have had really bad experiences with Priceline.

I think the general rule of thumb if you're worried about having a bad time is to just stick to the big hotel brands and book directly.

Personally I use hotels.com and never had an issue but I only stick with the big chains (Hilton mainly).

Research is lots of hard work. There’s a minimum level of intelligence needed, but I’d rather have an acceptable intelligence+hard worker as a collaborator than a genius+slacker.

There aren’t many Archimedes out there and most research is the result of lots of labor.
I've heard of booking.com and travel agents aka aggregators. (And I do frequently end up booking with a hotel directly.) However, I've also booked packages of various types through specialized agents that would have been very difficult to have done myself if even possible. So I don't think there's a general rule.

I do expect that there is a general rule with a lot of things that if you're fishing for deals that are too good to be true sometimes you'll be burned.

I don't know how this works in practice tbh. But it is curious.
Your point is well taken, but the trailer would have to be pretty disconnected from the actual movie for it to be worth the time, IMO. :-)
I can think of another context where "special" is a pejorative... :)
I can see the value of the GPA. When I was applying to Oregon State way back in the day (this would have been early 90s), my SAT score was really great. Probably top 10 in my school. My grades, on the other hand, were sub-2.00. I may have had a problem keeping myself interested in school. But I found tests extremely easy.

They rightfully told me to go to community college instead, because my GPA was abysmal. I'd have failed right out of OSU. I went to that community college and failed right out of it ;-). Then I went in the USAF, and maybe a year into that experience something clicked and suddenly I felt like an adult. I felt like my priorities realigned and I knew what I wanted and how to get there, and I could stick with it.

So when I left the military, I went back to the community college, got perfect grades, convinced the admissions gal at OSU to ignore all the HS & college grades from a few years earlier, and let me in. Graduated with my bachelor's in CS with excellent grades. Ultimately went on to get my masters, though that was years later.

Anyway, all of that to say ... my SAT score would have said "admit him" but my GPA was a more accurate assessment of my grit. I think both scores are useful, but don't give up on GPA.

Somewhat relevant, but my firm was getting spammed by a provider called Surf Shark. Their emails were requesting removal of their "customers" data from our systems/DBs. We were getting hundreds of emails a day requesting removal. So we built this: https://SimpleOptOutCompliance.com/ with the aim of offering a low cost GDPR / CCPA compliance tool.

My understanding is that a significant number of Yankees were unvaccinated and would not have been able to play home games. There are a significant number of New Yorkers that would’ve been very upset had that come to pass, so politicians acted according to public will and gave them an exception. Does that mean this wasn’t also corruption? No, but it is a reasonable thing to do even without corruption imo.
Jeez, I remember most pirated video was using xvid, what a dark time that was.
What is a good activation rate?
How do you install this?
I do wish the first was more widely adopted.

The typing experience on AppleTV is actively user hostile - the password is masked (you cannot reveal it) so if you even think you've made a mistake in one of your 25 characters, you need to start over.

The second doesn't work for me: we only have Android devices. It's unclear why our 3 MacBooks aren't sufficient for this purpose; I didn't have any suspicion that this would be the case.
Why would you want your tooling to be coupled when it doesn't have to be with zero downside?
> It never pays to use a travel aggregator.

> Book through the hotel website

Actually, it does pay. Literally. Because the same hotel is often cheaper if you book it through the booking website, while mainly business travelers book the hotel directly.
These are useful but I think there’s a lot of redundancy in the list because only specific sequences of keystrokes are listed instead of the more general vim count-destination-verb-adverb-noun syntax that produces them. For instance, when starting with a verb, `a` and `i` act on _all_ and _inside_, respectively, and what follows determines the boundary of those two regions. `da(` deletes everything between and including the current pair of parentheses. `cit` deletes everything between and excluding the current HTML tag and enters insert mode. `cs(]` changes the surrounding parentheses, replacing them with square brackets (this might require on a plugin?). Etc etc.

Just like natural language, Vim’s command language has a finite syntax with only a handful of forms; once you learn them, you can substitute “parts of speech” and things will work as you expect.
We need an option 'against all' and if that option wins, all candidates are disqualified for life.

Then approval rating would mean something.
My favorite point:

"2. It might be that test scores don’t predict college graduation rates[...] is provably false."
