I've got some serious issues with the base assumption of what's "talented". Sure, the people with the best secondary school degrees get into medicine. First of all, it's focusing on number because there aren't any other ones, not because it's that good in the first place.

Second, it's a bit circular. The people with the 1.0 finals get into medicine, because that's what they needed to have to get in there. People often know what they want to study early enough and adjust their efforts accordingly. Especially when it comes to the decimals. It's not like there's a non-goal-oriented drive to just Be The Best You Can, and after your graduation you're then passed on the German Sorting Hat that puts you into the university best suited to you.

Easily confirmed by talking to any German doctor ;)

As a final semi-anecdote, there's something slightly unusual going on in psychotherapy. Same top "GPA" needed, then another set of top grades in your bachelor to proceed to your master (the "funnel" is narrower than warranted by drop-outs), and after years and years of that, a lot of the psychotherapists end up working part time, as it's one of the fields where it's easy enough to do that. "Overachievers" investing a lot for a better work-life balance.
Whatsapp doesn't provide any paid product... Nobody to take care of the problem of your customers and no sale organization, no moderation, etc. etc.
It looks completely normal to me?
There is more than one school system in Germany. Multiple allow to "rank up" after 4th grade (see different types of "Gesamtschule").

Also if you get a lower degree you could as an adult go back to a special school and get you high-school degree to study. Both of my parents did this and became teacher and doctor. Yes it may be harder but it is still possible.

I totally agree that these 1-2 year contracts are a problem. They also exist for teachers. Some of them get fired during holidays to save some money and then are re-hired afterwards.. it is disgraceful.
Talent in germany is best compensated most for in hierarchical megafauna that is car companys and supply comapany. So its the same as with american financial sector, it attracts the einsteins of today, but wastes them on trivial matters such as financial system micro optimization. It is not status-rewarded to invest into "growing" the cake (aka by discovering new allemende resources) and thus, talent distributions always suffers from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons without state or monopoly sponsored research.
Both of those have systemd, so some people are actually not willing to trust them...
Sad joke was that they are waiting for an “alternative implementation”, yet I’m still shocked that Mozilla people are alluding to that elsewhere in this very thread. Unbelievable…
Isn't it weird that Europe is being blamed for not being as successful due to not being financialized enough when it's being compared to USA, instead of reflecting upon the fact that it's the USA that's the outlier here and the state of Europe might be a somewhat direct consequence of United States financial hegemony?

>Your speech is effectively censored by the moderators because you cannot use that tool as intended, to reach audiences with the same ease other types of speech can.

But you can still stand outside your home and say whatever you want. You can print up and distribute flyers. You can set up your own web site too.

While I despise the business models and actions of pretty much all the "social" media actors, they are not required to provide you with a platform.

You can still say whatever it is you want to say, but those private actors have no responsibility to act as a megaphone for you.
> Our concepts of free speech, censorship and moderation are simply outdated on modern social media - when you have systems designed to encourage and spread low-effort, novel, emotional and manipulative content (e.g. twitter), no amount of "tweaks" to such systems can fix the problem.

Hilariously enough, this is what people said about the invention of both writing and the printing press.
No idea about the international angle, but France is famous for its highly elitist system of Grandes Ecoles covering everything from public services and administration and engineering. With my limited contact with French engineers, I have yet to see a quality difference between the people. Grand Ecole grads have a guarantee on a fast tracked career so.
I'm not saying that you need to be a company to have your own domain. I'm saying that if your domain represents a company there should be some way to automatically check that against a database of registered businesses

I don’t recall. It’s a long time ago. I do remember that there were some other factors like proximity of home to hospital.

Mostly the advice we got was, if you have a medical condition that increases risk, then go to a hospital or a birthing centre. But if not, and you live reasonably close to a hospital, home birth is quite safe.
A hilarious detail is that their price tiers are "ruthenium", "platinum" and "palladium".
Ask HN: E-commerce devs how do you manage and sync a large amount of products?
We have gotten multiple requests in the past few months from clients looking to manage and import products (plus keep stock in sync) to their e-commerce platforms. The data usually comes from multiple sources (API’s or csv files) and providers. Additionally they want to edit the products (change categories, prices, names, etc). The current tools we’ve used up to this point aren’t enough for a large volume of products (over 100k).

How have you approached this - are there any tools on the market that have proven to work well for you or is the only approach building a custom solution?
Few times I've "gifted" a dinner, or some activity within a trip we take together they'd already be paying for, or consumables like good wine, or niche food from my home country. I can keep going but you get the point. When I couldn't afford much stuff, hanging out for an afternoon together and me paying for ice cream could be the gift. Maybe make your wishes known to your friends and adapt your own giving style.

In my experience "I don't give gifts because gift giving isn't efficient and here's a study proving my point" isn't conducive to fostering friendships.

If the people you hang out with think cat trinkets or socks are good gifts, I get why you became so jaded to it. Becoming the person that can give such gifts that are in the categories you appreciate, and cultivating friendships with others that do the same is way better approach in my view than just walking away from gift giving as a whole.

I found Germany absolutely dogshit for innovation in IT when I lived and worked there. It took the pandemic to move the needle even slightly on digitalisation of government services, and even then.

As for salaries: the salaries in tech in Germany aren't particularly competitive compared to Ireland, America, the UK, etc.

As for healthcare: its not free (its mandatory insurance), and the quality/speed of care is often worse than the NHS in my experience, however, I will grant them that they have some fantastic experts available at hospitals like the Charité in Berlin.
We're at the point where phone providers deny the author services, despite being a common carrier.
There is a very strong case for not letting this happen. Internet access, including access to hosting and ISP, should be classed as a human right, deniable only with due process.
thank you for the advice, we will probably do it this way
thanks for the advice
When thinking about how this landscape will evolve, you should think:

"A computer can understand the content as well as any person."

As this will be true in ~3 years. In that light, things are both better and more scary.

I am very bad at content classification on an open plattform. When i dont know the sender, i can barely tell about his or her intentions. Being bad at finding out about the intentions of a news article applies probably to you and everybody else as well. This is a big problem with social media that governments and companies are using to their advantage.

With classical media agencies you have a bigger chance at guessing their political views and intentions. Whether you like them or not is up to you. Most of these media agencies also take responsibility for the release of a piece of news.

This responsibility is missing with "individuals" who post on social media, they vouch for nothing and can only lose their account.

The right to post to an unlimited amount of people should be earned in my opinion. Right now the algorithms of the social media platforms even encourage controversial or aggressive posts which is the worst that can happen.
Ok interesting, thank you! I've heard of Grand Ecoles before in this context actually. France is weirdly centristic anyway!
> Powershell has this, but it's a binary format

Well, yes - powershell passes binary objects but as you can always:

1) access their properties
2) pass them downstream
3) serialize to json/csv
4) instantiate from json/csv

I think this is both human- and machine-readable enough (even through internal format is binary, but working with Powershell you are never really exposed to it).

How do you think it can be improved?

In my opinion object io IS the best part of powershell - it allows us to ditch results wrangling with sed/awk/grep entirely. I'm super interested if there's an even better way forward.

NixOS for busy developers ain't for the faint of heart.

But I am extremely faint of heart, and I love NixOS.

The trick is that I'm not a developer, and I happen not to need to ask it to do anything complicated or non-standard. I expect lots of other people are in my position (although maybe not many of those people read HN).
This is getting traction because the London media class has noticed people taking the mickey out of their adoption of the vocal fry from their New York brethren. They don't want regionals laughing at them.

It's vitally important that Southerners keep talking in silly accents. It's useful to spot people who are going to try to steal your stuff using emails.
I don't remember where I read this (and my summary might be off) but the computerized spreadsheet is a great invention because it's a programming environment for non-programmers.

"I need to input a number of variables and find their sum and average [or even more]. And I need to see how the outputs change if I change an input...".
"A computer can understand the content as well as any person."

I agree with this, but only because I have so little faith in people.
> And there are people that wait for years until they qualify for a slot.

But those are outliers, aren’t they? I’ve dated a med student, and been flatmates with others, the only times I’ve heard of people waiting was if they were doing a gap year or something, 1.5 years for NC improvements being pretty much the maximum and already rare.

A drop in volume is in no way the same thing as a drop in prices.

A valuation is a prediction of a (possibly very short term) future price, as such it does influence the price, but it isn't the same thing as the price.

A drop in valuations might have happened but I don't think there's good data on that and doesn't seem to align with the prices things are actually selling for very well if MSPUS is still going up.

You may find this interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discovery
I assume it's a reocurring thought that maybe the commenter you replied to only got in because of the standards being lowered.

Which is something I have heard of from quite a lot of people who may have benefitted from AA. And it's somewhat frequently paired with a huge amount of self doubt.
A GmbH actually only requires 12.5 k up front, you are on the hook for the other half so. Setting on eup is quite straight forward as well, and reasonably priced. If a GmbH is preventing you from starting your own thing, every one person retail shop beats you on the entrepreneur front.
> It allows more sensible code and compiler optimizations.

Unfortunately no, const only tells the compiler optimizer something when applied to variables but not for reference or pointer types (or member functions, where it just means apply const to the this pointer). It would be nice if there were a stronger co_const that would tell the compiler could assume is never cast away (or at least that the variable is not modified through that pointer/reference even if the const is cast away) but C++ const is not that.
If the AI has sufficient "real life" access, think a robot body, then it can do wire-heading. Assuming it is smarter than us, and we have thought of this idea - it will also think of this idea. Now it doesn't have a reason anymore to do anything else (except maybe kill all humans so that we don't stop it from wire-heading).
At my first job, the boss/owner of the company knew a lot about wine. As a result, the Christmas gift basket contained a lot of excellent wines that I wouldn't have been able to pick out myself. But I guess that's an example of expertise.

And of course it's not much use to someone who doesn't like wine (they may have had a non-alcoholic alternative).
> A lot of people might not know that

Personally, that would surprise me, because C++ compilers is the context where I first read the name. I'm not saying this is incorrect, but I would find it amusing somehow.

When modeling time series, you will want a model that is sensitive both to short term and longer term movements. In other words, a Long Term Short Term Memory (LSTM).

Sepp Hochreiter invented this concept in his Master's thesis supervised by Jürgen Schmidhuber in Munich in the 1990s; today, it's the most-cited type of neural network.

Here are papers describing it:

> If the requirements say "the system does X", the electrical engineers must be free to use this assumption, without talking to the software engineers.

This is the source of most problems: System defines something while HW and SW each come with their own implementation which contradicts each other.

System engineering has evolved into a sort of abstractive art, when only those who went to art school can underestand the abstractive painting.
Yeah, of course. This doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s heard how some of these people talk.

Ridiculous accents and the mockery of them are a proud British tradition.
Did you read the sentence right after he makes that claim?

> At Cloudinary, we recently performed a large-scale subjective image quality assessment experiment, involving over 40,000 test subjects and 1.4 million scores.

This isn't about your, my or Jon Sneyer's individual opinions on these photos, it's the consensus of 40,000 test subjects. And yeah, I agree with you that for a significant number of photos I disagree with the consensus. But given that we're both posting on HN we're both also likely the kind of people who like to prove other people wrong by actively looking for and overvaluing counterexamples, so also keep that in mind. Because to be honest, for a large number of photos I also agree with the consensus.
The crux of the topic is that there's always stigma if you're different, and having a different schedule makes you different.
> Fixing CSS style bugs might be under this too?

If the CSS is part of a system or system element, and the system is considered large enough to involve systems engineering, then yes, there is both a development and logistics support system which are analyzed, designed and implemented; fixing the CSS will either be under the development system or the logistics support system; but keep in mind that SE does not replace, but integrate the different disciplines; so it won't be a systems engineer fixing the CSS, but there was a systems engineer who planned and help implement the corresponding life cycle system where the maintenance happens.
Can't you just pass your headers as "source files" to clang-tidy? Or create dummy source files that include them if your build system can't do that?
Sounds like discrimination
So many arguments back and forth in the comments on this one. I am a night owl and always have been. When we had kids it was hard, but my wife and I seemed to revert back to staying up late very quickly. Our kids are homeschooled and usually get up between 8am and 10am. Working from home too means we don't have much pressure which is nice.
The problem with the big platforms applying platform-wide moderation is exactly that they are too damn big. Platform-wide moderation could as well be censorship in disguise, but hey it’s apparently ok, since it’s a private company (albeit an oligopoly) doing it. Censorship is only when government is doing it, right? Right?
Yeah, giving people an extra form to fill in is not the greatest gift. A better idea would be to go around and ask people what kind of coffee they want and then getting it for them.

It's still not going to significantly raise morale on its own, but at least it's not going to sink it further, and it focuses on the nice gesture instead of the bureaucracy.
I might be wrong, but doesn't AVIF benefit enormously because all the new phones, CPUs, GPUs, etc. support AV1 codec out of the box?
I'm confused. Why not? Android lets you sideload.
In my experience: Sleep as much as you can. Most probably don't have the luxury, but best is to not use alarm clocks. Your body knows exactly how much sleep it wants and needs, and your thinking brain has no business coming up with arbitrary hours of how long that should be.
Nice animation. Diff is a very helpful tool, as is the patch command working on diff's output. It took me some time as a student (a long time ago) to really comprehend what they where doing, as it looked like magic when I first encountered them while learning Unix.

All those low-level isolation tools are hard to use. Ok, creating namespaces is easy enough, but it doesn't end there. Maybe you need to setup the filesystem, pivot_root, setup seccomp, ensure no privileged file descriptors keep lying around, various prctls etc. etc.
OpenBSD's pledge+unveil are more convenient in many scenarios. And because inheritance is optional with them you can also compose self-isolating components more easily than in linux.
In a normal country, this sort of post could be liquidated with a comment like "People often do not grow up, and keep using playground-bullying jokes. News at 11."

But - the UK is deeply and relentlessly classist. Accents are one of the instruments that ruling classes use to keep the hoi polloi "in their place". So this issue gets highlighted routinely - and there has been a real effort to address the problem, particularly by Labour governments (starting with the Blair ones) and particularly in state-controlled media.
Thanks for the elaboration. Good to know someone had a similar experience.
To be fair, Darts looks pretty good relative to forecast: https://github.com/unit8co/darts

I would generally prefer R for this kind of stuff as the experts generally write the code, but Darts seems OK and is well-tested, at the very least (haven't had a chance to use it in anger yet).

A raise. A raise is the best gift a company can give its employees. And a raise big enough to take an employee's financial worries off the table has a good chance of making them feel more motivated and more valued.
