No detailed plans for retirement. I'd need a new job first, to start saving again and I'll cross the bridge when I get there.

But, it is true that I did not take my career seriously for a long time. I treated it more as just work, with no clear direction, since I didn't understand the fundamental difference between a career and a series of similar jobs. Every new job, I was just hoping for a modest pay raise and learning a new thing or two, and being able to coast when I wanted.

Coasting is probably acceptable once you hit senior level in a well rounded team, but I figured out the hard way it's bad to do as a junior or mid-level.

This story raises a question I have idly wondered - why do runways seem only just long enough for their intended purpose? That is, I see planes that seem to takeoff fairly close to the end of the available road.

I want to assume there is some good reason that is not, "we didn't want to pay for more runway".

It is documented fact that SpaceX takes private investment.

It is also documented fact that the occupation regime has faux safety mechanisms designed to enrich their own at the expense of others.
There's definitely something to this POV, tbh. As the saying goes: Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.
I don't think you understand what "at will" means.
That XML snippet isn't really representative though, let's consider `<a b="c">d</a>` instead. Here, `c` and `d` are definitely plain old strings.

Likewise, in the Jevko expression `a [b]` I don't see how `b` is not a string.
> When you hit a limitation you really need to implement in Rust, they say "Hey, there's unsafe{}, use that". Also, they advocate that unsafe{} is equal to C/C++ in programming freedom, which is again not.

I'm interested. How does rust unsafe give you less freedom than let's say c or cpp?
I can’t stand talking, phones, mastication sounds, etc. Ruins the movie for me. My home system is inferior to all theaters but it’s easier for me to get lost in entertainment.
Yeah but the ruling is bogus.

The health commissioner's order didn't say fire the employees [1]. It said that you can't have unvaccinated people on the premise which is clearly within their powers to "control of communicable and chronic diseases ... " [2]. The commissioner never said you needed to fire anybody. It we start taking this to the extreme, I think we can agree if somebody has Ebola its ok for the commissioner to say that person should not show up to work. Such a claim is in direct contradiction with the Judge's statements though: "The Health Commissioner cannot prohibit an employee from reporting to work.".

I have some takes on this topic. The reason why I think we find consciousness so mysterious is because we are so intimately biased that we are blinded by what’s plainly understandable.

Consciousness is an emergent property of nervous systems.

It's probably slightly less risk, yes.
But Google has a specific policy about this and they are following it to the letter. This is pretty low-risk as far as things go.

Apple has very, very different policies on this than Google. Google is getting more conservative, but it's still a long way from Apple.
That leaves interesting questions for what happens if you (for example) get hit by a car and die.

You won’t get to replay your recollections in time, so depending on what the delay is, you might (from your perspective) just suddenly plop out of existence when crossing a street.

I guess it doesn’t really matter, but it’s interesting to think about.

Yes. The nice thing about Bazel is that it'll also be able to do the same caching and cache invalidation across your build graph, so for a decently sized project the savings can be much bigger. I think [0] gives a decent overview.

It's $5, plus the convenience factor of finding somewhere to have breakfast in an unfamiliar city when you probably just want to get on with your business trip/holiday.

I don't doubt though the pettiness of hotels; I've seen way too many pictures of "this water bottle is free if you have Quadruple Osmium status with our loyalty programme, or $3.50 added to your bill otherwise."

The backdoor into CMU back then was and maybe still is Pitt. Pitt students had the privilege of signing up for any CMU course and it just meant a slightly longer walk to class.
Device wiki pages on Lineage are enough. The process isn't complicated, and boils down to a handful of steps after downloading the requisite files. Off the top off my head:

1. Enable ADB on device

2. Unlock the bootloader

3. Use fastboot to install TWRP

4. Boot into recovery and use TWRP to complete installation from zip files (Android ROM, Google apps)
> I don't see how `b` is not a string.

Because it isn't. There is no concept of a string. `if [[a] [b]]` is similar to `(if a b)`. So in your example `a [b]` is similar to s-expression `(a b)`. Neither "a" nor "b" are strings here.
> "most of the time" being 60%

I would expect this number to get closer to 99% with LLM-based AI code completion tools, so the gap between dynamically-typed languages and "good enough" languages that claim to be statically typed (but are in fact unsound) will become much less significant. But if you want correctness, you will need stronger guarantees.

> I'd argue that nullability, array covariance, and reflection...

I would mostly agree with that statement, with the caveat that it depends on what you want from your type system. Personally, I want the checker to be (1) sound and (2) decidable and (3) fast. For everything else there's runtime type checking.

> Type-checkers don't actually need to solve the halting problem to be sound, they just need to guarantee completion for _most_ types of code

Although I don't see much difference between undecidable type systems and dynamically typed languages, as I wrote, I see undecidability as less of an issue. My main concern is unsoundness, which is more critical and unclear how to fix. By "soundness" I specifically mean the formal property that "well-typed programs cannot go wrong". "Most types of code" is just a statistical claim, in which case you might as well use Python or JS/TS with a linter. Too many statically-typed languages decide to go off and roll their own types without reading PL literature, then end up with dealing with these issues later down the line.
Imo we should just ban the practice entirely. The supreme court's about to do it for universities, hopefully employers are next
Well if your definition of 'classy' excludes from worthwhile companionship thousands of people of the 4 nations I've lived in, classes ranging from street kids to multimillionaires, co-workers in shops and factories and corporate offices, ages from the primary school kids I've taught to the 90 year olds I've been friends with, then you're working from a sadly narrow social palette.

Perhaps your only experience of life is middle-class US sub/exburbia, but, truly, that group's local mores do not represent the universal cultural apex you think it does.
The UNIXes of the 80s/90s had far less in common than this. They had a shared root, but diverged very far in terms of userspace and kernel.

BTW, I'd advise caution with gaming your way into a tough college, rather than doing the work. It will assume a solid foundation in math, and you'll still have to work hard. Having to struggle, then transfer out after a year, is not doing yourself a favor.

Me, I struggled and came pretty close to flunking out.
I think the issue starts when xyz new tool requires you to write code specific to that thing, which is something I avoid as much as possible. IMO they should strive to stay out of the way as much as possible and just bundle/optimize/tree-shake and not worry about extending JS as a language or nodejs as a runtime or doubling as a build tool or a filewatcher or a development server etc etc (see the UNIX philosophy 'do one thing well'), even at the expense of less optimal/fast builds. As soon as you start doing stuff like importing your images into your javascript so your bundler can do compiler tricks, you're painting yourself into the corner.

One recent offering I enjoyed working with was esbuild, as I could use it's CLI as part of my existing build system incrementally instead of planning my whole system around it.

My muscle memory has just adapted to it. In testing now, I tend to wait a fraction of a second just before clicking on what I want. Never really noticed it.
Here, hotels have deals with booking.com etc that forbid them to post lower rates on their own websites. However, if you call to reserve, you get a discount code. I don’t know if that’s a more global practice or not.
Theory: people who need the disabled room are likely aware of this and are more likely to book ahead. Therefore, when you get to day-of or very close to it, if the disabled room is still available, it's unlikely it's suddenly going to be reserved by an actual disabled guest, so they may as well offer it cheap if it's more profitable than letting it sit empty.
Keep isn't dead. I use it everyday on my personal and business account. I love keep. I will be sad when the inevitably kill it though.
I don’t understand this. Does race or does it not exist? If it does not, you should be able to put down any race when asked, since how can they prove it? If you said you’re black and walk in but clearly your skin tone is fairer than expected, do they have a color palette they hold up to your face and say “nope, sorry you’re too light to be black, or is there a generic test they force you to perform?
More electrodes are good for research, but for calculating brain performance you only need two. If we added mental health to the assessment we'd need to add two more at the top middle of your head. We specifically just measure the signal called "information processing" which is your brain's response to infrequent visual stimuli, as it's the best characterized understanding of overall cognitive performance known. Adding more electrodes to do power spectral density analysis has far less scientific consensus behind it and is much easier to do. Almost all of the other consumer headsets out there stick with that. My issue with that, is I don't think that the results you're getting are physiologically relevant. We provide the most physiologically relevant measure of your brain function that has been characterized within the last 60 years and it has been a huge challenge to get it right. But it is a real measure of how your brain actually is.
We did actually try this, and it was a contributing factor to the Great Depression.

Because (a) you don't know Elon (b) you provide no value to them (c) at this stage they're not taking $10K checks from private investors because it would cost more to keep it on the cap table than it would benefit them and ...

Theres massive adverse selection bias. Good companies get significantly more value from raising a few small checks than they do from a ton of tiny ones from people without experience doing so or specific skills/connections. So the ones that can, will, and the bad companies that can't will come for the small time chumps. This played out in the early 1900s, and no, nothing's really changed.

Besides if Elon really wanted your $10K they could have raised via Reg CF (JOBS act 2012). However, they're actively choosing not to. And I keep using $10K as the number because honestly if you're writing a $100K check you're probably an accredited investor.

Just feels like you could throw a handful of oranges and oatmeal packets in your luggage for the same experience til you find a grocery store.

Why is it that the anti test score argument almost always tries to chalk it up to hiring tutors? They consistently try to make it sound like people "buy" higher test scores with tutoring in order to discredit tests like the SAT
There's a rumored experiment called the "precognitive carousel", supposedly run by Grey Walter, where:

(1) Subjects are told to push a button to advance a slide projector carousel, but not told that the button is inert

(2) The carousel advances based on electrical signals measured by wires on the subjects' scalp.

(3) Subjects supposedly report the uncanny feeling that the projector advances "just before" they were about to push the button -- 300-400 milliseconds before, a pretty long time.

I read about this a long time ago in a since-deleted post on an old timey internet forum (everything2).

The writer suggested this research supports the idea that your body chooses what to do, then informs your brain, and your consciousness convinces itself that has decided to do what the body is about to do on its own.
Absolutely blows my mind that they wouldn't have a keybind for swapping between "stages" in Stage Manager. What furthers the confusion is that they did put some keybinds for things like merging applications into a single stage, but just... didn't take it all the way.

Are keybind-heavy users a dying breed? It blows my mind that Apple would wise up to returning SD Card / HDMI ports to the Macbook, only to follow that up with increasingly taking away my ability to navigate my computer with just keybinds.

I'm preaching to the choir on HN, but I think just about every piece of software aimed at creative/technical professionals (Blender/Adobe CC/Maya/Autodesk/Vim/Ableton/etc) is packed to the brim with keybinds because it allows you to do things fast.

Oh well, I guess I'll be sticking with my ^+▲, ⌘+TAB, Spotlight/Alfred, and all the binds I get from the Magnet app[1].

I majored in CS in the late 90s and this wasn’t my experience at all. The Netscape IPO happened in 1995, followed by 5 years of the dot.com gold rush. Computers flew off the shelves, and everyone wanted to get online.

The dotcom crash happens later in 2001, but if we are talking about the late 90s, then I’d say it was a period of huge energy in the CS field and tech companies were hiring as fast as they could and jobs were plentiful all around.
You should vote your interests. The end goal here is a system of race-based patronage. Instead of just taking an objective test like an equal, your kids' futures will depend on breaking out sob stories to tickle the fancy of white gatekeepers. Not just for college. For jobs. For promotions. The sky's the limit.

Prop 16 failed, but that won't stop them. Asians at Meta and Alphabet look to your left and look to your right. One of you will be gone when corporate American implements the same policies as Harvard (which cuts Asian numbers in half). And who is standing in the way of that future? Republican judges.
You would gladly take in someone with a history of non-payment, on the sole condition that you can evict them for non-payment?

In that case, one benefit of public housing is that it slims the pool of “sob story”-havers that you can evict for sport!

> kind of bizarre that different "distros" of illumos would have different kernel ABIs.

I had a similar thought but on further consideration Linux does about the same. Linux freely breaks internal ABIs at will at least across versions; you can't use modules from Fedora on Debian in practice, if nothing else then because they aren't on the same exact minor version.

> The biggest question to me is why Helios is using the FUSE kernel module from OmniOS.

It was kinda unclear, but the impression I got was that they don't in general and this was a one-off mistake where someone compiled on the wrong machine by accident.
So let’s say my mom had been a “good test taker”. But she didn’t spend anytime with me. Was always too busy to help me when I had a question, etc. Do you think I would have done as well?

What are the chances that I would have chosen to be software developer coming from that same small town if my parents hadn’t bought me a fully tricked out Apple //e in 1986?

Even when I was in college in 1992, most of the CS students didn’t have a computer home. By then I had a $4000 LCII set up with a $1000 laser printer and a $300 SoftPC application to run x86 compilers. My parents weren’t “rich”. My mom was a teacher and my dad was a factory worker.
Ask HN: How to handle building a startup for users that need special compliance?
Hey all - I have a potential user that's really interested in a product I'm building. However, some of the use cases would involve medical records and the tools they already use advertise HIPPA (and SOC) compliance. I plan to focus on use cases that won't bring HIPPA into scope. But I'm curious to hear how others have approached this. When do you start getting audits and paying for compliance reports?

Why should taxpayer money be used to fund private ventures though? It's obviously not economically viable to make chips in America, otherwise it would already be happening. Taiwan is not a low cost-of-labor country; it excels in chipmaking because of various factors like education and the industry there, just like America excels in some other industries for various reasons, such as software (e.g. Google and Apple).

Hiring consultants and teachers (from where?) isn't going to help with the complete lack of engineers. It takes many, many years to build a workforce of engineers needed for what's being discussed here, and even then it's not guaranteed because it relies on getting young people to go to engineering school and get degrees in relevant specialties, and then work in industry for a while to gain relevant experience. This isn't something you can just throw some money at to acquire or develop.
If Apple can stop using it to not proliferate it switching to AV1 by default and aren't doing it, then you can say they are part of the problem due to their size.

I.e. if you meant that Google went out of the way to enable it in Chrome because Apple users produce so much content with it (because of Apple), then Apple are causing a problem.

Compare it to someone who makes products that dump toxic waste in the environment when they are being used but due to their size others have to start dealing with it to interoperate instead of avoiding that. You can't say they aren't causing a problem.

When it comes to media codecs Apple were always very problematic, but I thought after them joining AOM something could improve.
In Ancient Greece one of my favorite little tales is a toilet one. Toilet paper, of course, did not exist. And so the Greeks used sponges, often on a short stick. And these sponges would be cleaned by swirling them about in as bit of water, or for the fancy toilets - a bit of vinegar. They had communal butt brushes in other words.

And there are many other issues of similar effect. Many of the hygienic practices that we now generally believe are intuitive, were anything but. For instance the idea that doctors should wash their hands before examining patients or even doing surgery was simply unknown all the way up until the 19th century [1]. Incidentally, while a basic germ theory was proposed in the 16th century, it wasn't until the 19th that it would come to be accepted as valid.

What was the reasoning for FCC's original decision? Why would they try to stop it?
You cannot perceive anything without your brain processing it. That amount of time is on the scale of 250ms for sight.

Further, the reality you perceive is not True reality, your brain is encoding the information it receives and shows you an evolutionarily successful version of reality.

You can only perceive your surroundings by creating a mental representation of it in your brain. Part of that mechanism involves memory.
There wasn't hate, at least not broadly. There was anger, sure, but not hate. At the time the focus was on making sure the vaccinations were taken seriously so as to protect those who couldn't do it, and plenty of people instead made ideological and self-centered decisions (their right to do so) rather than compassionate and ethical ones.
This is exactly correct. You have to call them.
This is often called up or out, too. Many/ most consulting companies do it.
This will make employees uncompetitive and shift more power to employers.

Then you should have been there back in March of 1789. Government is for those who participate, not those who whine about it after the fact.

Consciousness as an emergent property of the billions of neurons and trillions of connections between them (and the complex chemical soup they slosh around in) makes sense to me as well.

There was an interesting article on HN a while ago about memory and its relationship to the aggregate electrical field generated by our neurons - https://picower.mit.edu/news/neurons-are-fickle-electric-fie...

Which I suppose, if people are looking for a singular "entity" to ascribe consciousness to, then something like an emergent electrical field might be a good candidate?
Student A that passes a Calculus exam may be be more likely to know Calculus than student B that fails but so what?

Passing a Calculus test doesn't necessarily predict if the student can apply their knowledge to production to generate new ideas and widgets which make our lives better, it just predicts that Student A can follow rules and learn something _when required by an authority_.

I think this sentiment is similar to how people feel about Leet Code interview questions. So what if an engineer can invert a binary tree if they can't formulate new, useful ideas and convince others to work on them?

Perhaps student A is more likely be create new, better widgets than student B but I think academicia/LC cannot test this directly, which is what people are getting at when they criticize tests.
I don't see that, airplanes lift off with plenty of room.

BTW, bombers in combat would typically be overloaded with bombs and fuel. They needed every inch. If the runway was longer, they'd just get more bombs and fuel put on. Any hiccup in the engines meant certain fiery death.

My dad (AF pilot) would always hang the tail over the back of the runway, as he wanted every inch. Old habits never died :-)
