Same app in US takes ~2 secs to refresh (too long), but ~20 secs in India, due to bad batching/verbose comms. Actually useful data transferred is low."

That’s a pretty uncharitable interpretation. I read it as “You’re wrong” (which is correct - Space Karen was wrong in his claim about why things were slow) “and we should figure out why, which will take time & effort (i.e. investment).”
Well that makes a lot of sense. It’s confusing at first because of how similar the languages are.
then what is the point of having such a powerful processor on device?
This made me think of the Larry Niven book "The Integral Trees".

Perhaps, but one or two airline flights and you emitted for quite a few people living in poverty (who don't and will never fly).

Elites fly a lot. Own multiple homes. Multiple cars. Etc. I'm not so sure the delta is that wide.
There is definitely an opportunity to contract this way, but you have to think outside of the largest companies. You want to start by looking through your network and finding the folks who are at smaller start-ups or even have experience working with venture capital firms. Start there and inquire if they have any need for contract work or looking for an engineer for one of their smaller portfolio companies who might want to take on a contract-to-hire or even just contract.

Smaller companies generally have less red tape to getting contractors, more need (as they are either scaling quickly OR just need something done and don't want to incur high cost of a perm eng). You will need to figure out the appropriate rate (keeping in mind this doesn't come with benefits), but that exercise is left to the reader.
> In what way does is suck?

There is a non-zero amount of "care and feeding" that goes into it.

For example:

Moving them around and re-indexing. I recently copied my library onto an SD card for a new phone, which had a new media player, which then had to re-index them all. As I add new songs to the main dataset, I'll have to sync them over to the phone.

I also manage a Koel instance so I can stream the files from wherever I want. But I like the ability to have them offline as well. And Koel is great but, if I ever decide to move to another utility I'll probably lose playlists or have to convert them over.

Ripping CDs, then moving files over to the main dataset takes time, not a lot but it is a thing. Also I have no shortage of CDs with incorrect metadata in the CD databases or don't exist in the CD databases. Or often there are multiple matches and I have to find the right one.

Scanning the CD album art which I've done for some rarer albums in which I could not find artwork for online (or what I did find was blurry and over compressed)

Managing metadata: For example, I've some CDs that were ripped as "TALKING HEADS", others as "Talking Heads". It's a little more painful with Japanese character sets e.g. "Tatsuro Yamashita" vs "山下 達郎".

If I purchase albums from providers like BandCamp or Ototoy, I then need to make sure the metadata matches what I've decided to go with.

I use ZFS with redundancy, and take regular snapshots but I also make occasional backups to external drives but I could also use something like S3 as well.

This is really a hobby at this point, not a convenience. With a streaming provider you fork over a few bucks a month and listen to whatever they have in their library.

I did look at the project, and it didn't mention it was a leaning exercise, then, pointing out that requiring a gig of dependencies is questionable is reasonable.
I think the confusion is that they believe the token that is staked is a sunk cost, the same way a business would spend the money from a loan. Like you said, the token will be returned when unstaked.

If I take a loan out to buy and run a pizza restaurant, I can't just give the principal back if it fails. I would have to liquidate the business, which would not be equivalent to the starting capital costs.
If you asked Elon (atleast before he stepped into Twitter HQ) I'm sure he'd disagree with you, and he'd claim good ideas can come from anywhere and it shouldn't matter who they are or if they are important.

OP here. GGP said 200 applications to get a job, not an interview. I've had a bit under a 20% success rate on getting a first interview after an application but haven't gotten an offer yet.

Also, there are red flags, and there are red flags. I have some red flags I can't do anything about, I just have to push through them, but they shouldn't be a dealbreaker for anyone actually desperate to hire.
I paid attention a little and there is a spark when i plug the laptop charger in. 2018 mbpro. With the short plug in the charger, not the long power cord.

No other symptoms though.
Gramatically might not be, but ... First power, second power, third power ... that's not how a power plant works. Either it produces "power" or not.
Is a proof-less conspiracy statement supposed to be enjoyed and loved? It's more conspiratorial emotion than fact. These "I miss the old internet" posts come up every week or so on HN and are largely all the same conspiracies with slightly different wording and no more proof than before.
I had a bunch of open tabs in Safari, and typing "old" (space) not only crashed Safari but got rid of almost all of the open tabs. It was all stuff I needed to refer back to, and yeah that's not a great way to manage stuff like that. Of course bookmarks would be the right way. But now it's gone.

So be careful.
Coinbase basically played by the rules, wanted to work with the SEC, takes public audits and a 1:1 ratio between liabilities and reserves in US dollars (not their own funny money tokens). And yet they were surpassed in # of users by growth hacking crypto gamesmen like SBF who wanted to drum up the largest possible liquidity pool to use however they pleased with no oversight or regulation.

> 1) Yes, people use tweets to report bugs all the time. The problem with nitpicking is that anyone can pick your nits back, which leads me to...

People might. This one didn't even @ Apple. Jesus, HN (a sentiment the Tweet author has also expressed by now on the tweet thread, as they're apparently reading this and seeing y'all acting like this in public)

> 2) Yes, they will, but that won't necessarily repro the bug without knowing which type of device it's running on, so at the very least they might need to check several different devices, and even then other factors can come into play that go beyond basic device configuration.

Twitter figured this out in like 30 minutes. It's Safari Suggestions on any recent iOS. This may not be the platonic ideal of a bug report but it's not a bug report and also it happens, by chance, to be entirely fine even if it were, because this is super-easy to figure out.
I think the main issue in C++ isn't value semantics, it's deep copy semantics. E.g. in a functional language ADTs are immutable and don't have identity. They can be freely copied, or not, passed by reference or by value, but they are never deep copied. Comparison may be deep, but not passing them.

That is to say, I think I mostly am agreeing with you. In Java, objects are always passed by reference, never by value, and never implicitly copied. But Java doesn't have any value types other than primitives. When I added ADTs to Virgil, I wanted to get the best of both worlds; objects are pass by reference, like Java, and ADTs are immutable, identity-less, so they are deep compared but never deep copied. (ADTs in Virgil can also sometimes be flattened, so they don't necessarily result in heap allocation).
Boggles my mind that parents are willingly exposing their kids to something they absolutely do not need.
> I increasingly see the wisdom of languages with implicit reference semantics.

I spend most of my time in a JVM language of one flavor or another, and when I was learning Go, the first thing that stuck out at me was, "why would I ever want the compiler to invisibly copy a data structure for me?"

I suppose the primary reason is to prevent the callee from modifying the caller's data out from under them; unless you pass a reference value, you know the callee cannot modify your data.

But, as someone who leans heavily into "everything should be as immutable as possible," the second thing that stuck out at me was "wait, a struct can't have const fields?"

When I write code, it's common to have references to immutable classes thrown around with wild abandon, heedless of ownership, threads, or good taste, because the data just can't change. But that's a paradigm that Go simply doesn't support.
Not so much contradict as wondering about the claim that it should be a specific Unicode codepoint when Unicode wasn't around when we started "computering" text (and the Académie Française can't have possibly formally declared things in terms of Unicode =)

What are the actual official rules in this case (and are there links to those? Because that'd be fascinating information to read through)?

I'm thinking more on a macro level.

Someone at Google has said "people want to pay us money to have better support and be treated like customers instead of products", and the response was "no, not worth it". On a macro scale Google was not interested in the money of individuals.

Facebook / Meta is one of the richest companies in the world, and they didn't make their money by taking money from individuals.

Politicians aren't swayed by the donations of common people, but by the donation of wealthy special interest groups and wealthy individuals.

The poorest 50% of the United States controls 1.2% of the wealth. One day they'll look around and collectively ask "what can we do with our money?", and the answer will be "buy cheap consumer goods, pay rent, and not much else". More and more companies don't want the little money they have, instead they want their attention, their votes, and their time and labor. Going after their money alone just isn't worth it.
The Fed always can return the money, because they control how much money is printed. Therefore, the money loaned to the Fed through the overnight rate is risk-free. That's why its called the risk-free rate.

It may only be a singular day worth of bond / IOU, but its still a loan/bond/debt instrument.

Similarly, the Ethereum rewards are printed out of thin air, are they not? By the Ethereum staking system? Its not like the Ethereum they print existed beforehand.

In University recruitments in India, a lot of companies like Adobe only hire females. Like 10 people selected from a university with 70-80% male students and yet all 10 selected are women.
For now that’s true. I’m not giving judgment on crypto VMs for 10-20-30 years.

Right now 90-99% of the space is scams and nonsense, which happened because of the lack of a regulatory environment. Any smart white collar criminal and fraudster with brains knows they can make millions to billions on crypto and never be charged of a crime.

Crypto is in its ARPANET whatever days. It’s purpose is not fully clear, there are a few usable applications (Uniswap, NFTs, MakerDAO) but really it’s purpose will only be realised when the main snags are solved:

- it needs massive throughput
- it needs some form of hack resistance, even if that means the ability to reverse transactions
- it needs some form of regulations to avoid rampant crime and fraud
- UX/UI need to be dramatically improved (I’ve heard good things about Rainbow and Argent Wallets).

Then user facing applications will show up naturally. You just need it to be able to process some X amount of quantity of transactions, and potentially, reversibility.
It’s incredible how they managed to rehab their image almost overnight. Anybody remember the bextra scandal? Yeah, these are the same corrupt corporations.

ok, didn't know that, though would he still have had a vest date then?

ex. lets say meta vests one per month on the 15th, and he starts on the 14th, would he normally have vested right away, or would he have had to wait to Dec 15th? (and can apply to whatever schedule you want, just picked a monthly one for example sake).

I think that depends on the flavor of robustness. spectacular failures occur with systems that have high interdependence of parts, high centrality, and recursive effects. There's also a relationship between cascading failure modes and complexity.

Systems that are robust due to being simple, flexible, highly independent tend to peter out over the long haul, as their failure is often an effect of a changing environment rather than some internal fracture.

Anything that's made "robust" artificially (like propping up a bridge with a loose piece of lumber, or injecting bailout money to maintain bank's solvency) is now completely dependant on that artificial prop. if the bridge is allowed to carry more traffic after being propped up this way, you can expect a catastrophe equal to the one you averted + everything that's been added since.

OSS developers could simply include a disclaimer along with their chosen license:

"The developer of this software attests that it does not and will not comply with the EU CRA, and may not be used as critical infrastructure within the European Union. Any entity incorporating this software in products sold in the European Union agrees to perform all required compliance, and hold the developer harmless. Any compliance failure shall terminate all licensing of this software to all involved parties."

What that does to [vendors in] the EU would be interesting to see.
Priorize studies. It sucks but it's more important than personal interests. I know I had to do that decision from time to time at uni and the way you stay focused on actually finishing uni is that you don't slack off with other more fun stuff.

Yeah you won't enjoy it as much.

Yeah you need to finish your studies to have more chance of succes in your life.
Instead of starting with FDR, why not first cancel the US Presidents who literally owned slaves or who literally engaged in genocide against the natives? Just a thought.

I mean, imprisoning people for just minding their own business, based mainly on skin color, is something that every president has done since the laws against marijuana were passed. Not sure why you’d single out FDR.
Start with your network (assuming you have at least a few senior engineers and your career is 4+ years in tech, you should have this via LinkedIn). You are looking for folks you worked with that are now at their 2nd+ job in their career with mostly smaller companies (generally start-ups, 5-100 full-time, 1-50 eng teams) or are now involved with venture capital/investing/anything that suggests they have exposure to smaller teams. These are the companies with high chance of having a contract role open either because they are growing too fast or they just have lots of stuff to build but don't necessarily want to/can spend time on hiring.

From there reach out and ask them for help and provide your skillset, goals (X length contract work with mobile focus), and see if they will help connect you further. Hopefully your resume and past experience with that connection help you get your foot in the door more easily.

"Smaller" does not imply "not mature", or "not used". It just means ... "smaller".

For example Go has a boringssl build because boringssl is FIPS certified whereas the default Go crypto stuff isn't, and this matters for some people.
What the law says and what happens in the courtroom differ.

It's illegal to discriminate, but in practice that means it's "illegal" to have a workforce skewed too far towards the white male. Businesses are simply obeying the law as enforced, not the law as written.

We see the same thing from both sides--look at the recent cases where hospitals have refused to perform life-saving abortions. They're not going to jail if she dies, they might go to jail if they save her. Hence despite the law saying they have to do it they don't.
True. The hourly workers are more likely to be living paycheque-to-paycheque, and their lives will be more impacted than a tech worker with 12 months of runway and job prospects everywhere.
I also see the _late addition_ of "to those under 50/65 years of age" in grandparent comment, which changes the meaning quite a bit. These countries, for many people, are recommending further boosters.

In the UK's case, the NHS "invites people 50 and over for autumn boosters" (1) which doesn't rule out any further action later for under 50s.

Non-violent is a big category. If I'm smoking a joint alone on a boat on the lake, I'm breaking a federal law, so I'm a non-violent criminal. My crime has literally zero impact on others. If I steal millions of dollars from my customers via financial crime, causing people, families, and businesses to go under, leading to marked decrease in their standard of living, including potential impact on housing, healthcare, and other critical components of survival, then I've caused real harm to others, violent or not. Do you see how those two non-violent crimes are materially different?

I'm all for reducing the use of prisons, and though both contribute value to society, I'm generally more interested in using prisons and the threat of prisons for rehabilitation and reintegration than for punishment and deterrence.

Having said that, non-violent isn't as interesting a measure to me as scope of impact. A CEO of a company that decides to externalize some costs by poisoning the water or air supply making the local population demonstrably sicker may not have carried a knife, but the scope of his impact could be far greater than some homeless guy who stabbed someone in the arm. The first is clearly non-violent while the second is clearly violent, but the truth is, I'd far rather see the poisoning CEO in prison than the stabby homeless guy.
I remember getting those once a couple of months ago. It was so indescribably disappointing. I had never heard of FTX before that because I don't care about crypto-BS, but I feel like everything happening to FTX lately is a suitable punishment for inflicting those on the world and so I'm just sitting here with the metaphorical popcorn.

You might get a kick out of Virgil. It's easy (and terse!) to define immutable classes and you can have immutable ADTs too. (plus tuples, generics with separate typechecking, etc).
Does it also work if you say you identify as a female even though you are a male biologically?
Many of the providers of managed Plex services will also offer audio streaming apps, like Funkwhale, Subsonic, etc. You can hit any price point you want from $5/month and up, with much more storage than those two particular providers.
DEI policies are not necessarily also anti-racism policies. The devil is in the details as they say.

This is taken from CNBC interview with Lybra Clemons(Chief Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Officer at Twilio Inc.)

"This success, as well as Clemons’ acclaim for the company, is owed to Twilio’s commitment to becoming “anti-racist.” According to Clemons, part of the difference between DE&I and anti-racism is self-awareness.

“Right before I joined, Twilio said, we’re on this journey to become anti-racist. And I think we were all like, what does that even mean,” she tells CNBC Make It.

“I think a lot of people thought it was just a more elevated term for diversity, equity inclusion. But as we’ve started to go through the process, we’re learning that anti-racism is different. DE&I are still very foundational and fundamental to work, but anti-racism is an active term where you are personally responsible. This is about self-awareness and taking full accountability of who you are. We are actively promoting equity and racial justice through consistent, deliberate decisions that we make.”"
