I'd argue that you definitely need a push-based model for preventative measures: vaccines, smoke detectors, Personal Protective Equipment to reduce the spread of disease.

If you don't know how serious a danger is, you won't start doing research on it until it actually occurs, at which point it is too late. It doesn't do much good to remind someone they need to have smoke detectors and check them regularly after the house burns down, or that a vaccine is available after they're infected.

Ask HN: Getting back to the hiring scene post-hiatus (& all the tech layoffs)?
3 years ago I quit my job at a big tech company in order to attend to a family issue. And after that and with the pandemic, I realized I needed some time away from work to try and catch up to my life as a person, as I used to work a lot, and use some of my savings early.

I was hoping to get back to working later this year or early next year, but the news looks more and more grim by the day, with all those tech layoffs in the tens of thousands, and the warnings of recession.

I worked as an IC lead for many years, as well as a technical manager. And I mostly specialized in backend algorithmic and machine learning systems.

I kept myself sharp in some areas, but I'm also realistic that someone who has been away for that long is not a desirable resume.

I'm looking for some observations, big and small, on where the tech community is at right now, what are the top required skillsets now, what's different in the hiring processes today, and any relevant personal experiences from anyone who left the field for a few years and succeeded in coming back.

Example of a "small observation": back in the time when I last interviewed for a job, we used to do a phone screen first. But it appears that nowadays everyone wants to get you on a video call instead.

Since they used Serum’s diluted market cap to justify it as an increase in assets, and focused on having more assets than liabilities, it implies they took this higher total asset balance to shoulder liabilities that their existing assets did not cover.

Since every dollar they received in customer deposits appeared both in assets and liabilities, the only way they ended up with liabilities that their (non-Serum, non-FTT) assets did not cover, is by exchanging the dollars with something that lost value.
On the creator side, it is not so easy. If I think that someone is interested in my knowledge or product, I will write a book or produce it. But it only comes available until it lands in some shelf where it can be found. Hence, this is a push.

Alternatively, I could have waited until someone noticed my advertisement to start to write the book or produce the product. Pull.

So where is push and where is pull better?
I love this version of that painting.

What's the point of this, you can easily go to cheaper school and pay about 10K a year. Software Engineering is a fields where you don't even need a degree to be honest. I know at least 2 colleagues who make much more than me without degrees.

Just make side projects.

Or spend a bit more , go to UC Berkeley and you can attend one of the best CS schools in the world. Just live in California for a year to get residency first

Ask HN: Is the SEC XBRL JSON API accurate?
Hi HN, asking here because the SEC is not getting back to me.

I recently discovered that the SEC has a RESTful endpoint for company filing data. You can, for free, query extremely fine grained financial data about any company that files with the SEC[1]. For instance, this link gives you the Berkshire Hathaway Basic Shares Outstanding:

https://data.sec.gov/api/xbrl/companyconcept/CIK0001067983/us-gaap/WeightedAverageNumberOfSharesOutstandingBasic.json

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the data is incomplete. The link above delivered json that only covers up to end 2015, nothing more recent. If you go to the SEC website you can access more recent Berkshire Hathaway data (including basic shares outstanding) - their latest filing was last week.

So, what gives? Is the API faulty? Does this explain why all the python and R libs still use html traversal for scraping SEC data?

Okay, Twitter originally had 7500 full time employees. There are 260 workdays in a year and let's say %10 of those show up in the office as Musk says and 2 meals a day are served.

So this works out as (13000000/(7500* 0.1 * 2 *260)) ~= $33 a meal. How to get this to $400 a meal? That's more than order of magnitude difference. 13M at $400 a meal buys you 32500 meals and this is 125 meals a day served. 125 meals a day feeds ~60 employees only. Are there 60 employees in the offices of Twitter? Considering that Twitter is not a bank branch and the occupancy is not for only 260 days but for 365 and they don't close after 5PM, the number of people who can be at the office for the $400 meals must be considerably lower - something like 22 people at the office at a time on average(32500/(365*4)).

Can anyone with info on the Twitter HQ occupancy can confirm that there are about 22 people at the office at the same time?

Strange, US dollars seem to be as good at making both my mortgage payment, and paying my taxes this year as they were last.

They also seem to be a lot better at buying Bitcoin and Euros and S&P500, but a bit worse at buying lettuce.

No currency seems to be better at buying lettuce this year, though, perhaps the problem here is that there is a shortage of goods and labour...

So first of all, I agree that I wish right-wing agitators who suddenly seem to care about academic integrity would be as much up in arms against the dismantling of universities due to economic concerns (which is often driven by the right).

And then, we can certainly debate the amount of historical context that should be included ideally in a mathematics education (although this has no clear answer; some people might prefer it, some people - who don't like humanities to begin with - might be worried to see the subjects they have been traditionally good at "diluted" - and at any rate, how much history helps with understanding mathematics depends a lot on the particular case in question). I do think the history of mathematics is interesting - although I don't think that there is that much ground to cover when it comes to the Babylonians...

But it's still a fact that today's maths teachers are not necessarily equipped to turn half of their mathematics currículum into a historical or sociological discipline.

And it also remains a fact that mathematics as we conceive of it was started by the Ancient Greeks and is tied a lot to our culture and to any culture that was also influenced by the Greeks (which includes the Muslim world and India - indeed in the middle ages, that is where all the progress was made), although some significant results were also discovered e.g. in China.

Coming out of BigCo consulting, pretty much every decision in our sales and solutioning pipeline had Excel somewhere beneath it, simply because it was the fastest way to do financial and project modeling for rapidly-changing requirements.

In general, I found that most clients have both "god spreadsheets" that seem to continually accrue data and control operations in often opaque ways, and nightmarishly-complex reporting spreadsheets generated by upstream systems that, if one thing goes wrong, explode into bits of #VALUE!s. It's neither good nor bad, just a fact of life. One client we engaged with -- one of the largest companies in the world -- had what we called "the ten-billion-dollar spreadsheet," because that's literally the amount of annual funds it controlled, even though it was completely invisible at the executive level. (Sad to say, but my lasting contribution to humanity is probably helping unlock an additional billion dollars of capitalist investment a year by moving a key part of that spreadsheet to a simple but far more accurate regression model.)

My perspective is that Trump is as much a reaction to toxic politics as a cause of…although he definitely perpetuates and elevates them. For every elevation there seems to be a counter reaction from the other side that has to elevate it further. This is what is tearing the country apart.

That sounds about right from my understanding. Supabase was made as an alternative to firebase, acting as a data layer with a lot of features simplifying application development.

Planet Base feels like Snowflake, or some aspects of fly.io, or timescale's managed cloud offering; their focus is on the core database tech and delivering that in a scalable manner.

The comparison is weirdly inspiring. I think just about the greatest thing ever would a biopic about the life of Malcolm Gladwell, somehow in the vein of both the fictional Weird: The Al Yankovic Story AND Julie and Julia, comparing and contrasting Malcolm Gladwell and Yngwie Malmsteen. (I have seen neither of these films)

Like, what's the Gladwell equivalent of Yngwie as a youth getting kicked out of a band for trying to kill Graham Bonnet? Make something up. I bet it involves assaulting an editor! What's the fictional equivalent of Yngwie deciding he should sing? I bet it involves Gladwell deciding he doesn't need to talk to anyone who understands mathematics. Or maybe you could break the fourth wall and have Yngwie decide he is fully capable of playing Gladwell in the film, since how hard it can it possibly be, and he's already halfway there since they both have stupid hair.

Again, this is a misunderstanding of what planned obsolescence means. Supporting software costs money. The longer the support offered, the higher the cost of the phone. A line has to be drawn: a reasonable duration that doesn't increase the cost of the phone by too much. That line is ultimately driven by consumer preferences.

Planned obsolescence would be setting a timer on the phone that disables it after two years.

Gorgeous, but I'm throwing money at my monitor and nothing is happening.
This mainly only applies in scenarios where there are multiple databases that accept writes for a particular object. This is common in client-side databases (ex: sqlite) since each client has its own copy of an object.

This would only apply to Postgres, if there is multi-master replication, and the writes for a particular object can go to multiple master databases. Multi-master replication means that there are multiple backend databases that can accept writes.

Typically you avoid this scenario by partitioning writes for an object to 1 master database. This way each master database is responsible for its own disjoint set of object and so there is no chance of conflicts.

Another way to avoid the issue is to just avoid multi-master replication, and stick to only having 1 master database to accept writes.
Nope. They were setup by the corrupt fbi.

I think the question is whether this particular CRDT has any notion of transactions to make sure the database is left in a consistent state after a merge.

As I understand it, the only guarantee we get from all CRDTs is that all copies end up in the same state irrespective of merge order. And then there are some trivial examples, like counters, where this state is also logically consistent. But that is not guaranteed in general.

So what about the classical example of transferring an amount from account A to account B if account A has sufficient funds?

I think for a CRDT to support such cases (for arbitrary schemas) it would have to have some notion of atomicity and some way to specify preconditions.
I do this every now and then, but this becomes a conscious decision with tradeoffs when I work from home, so I cannot do it daily. I'm not immediately surrounded by conducive walking areas, so there's a threshold of effort and time commitment before reaching the better places. When I go to a workplace, there's no decision to make I just have to walk without question.
There's a bunch of documentation (in english) at https://github.com/RT-Thread/rt-thread/blob/master/documenta...

One thing that stands out is that one of the selling points would be the inclusion of middleware etc.

JerryScript and MicroPython are currently supported.
Multimedia related software packages:

CmBacktrace, EasyFlash, EasyLogger, SystemView.
System related software packages:
RTGUI, Persimmon UI, lwext4, partition, SQLite, etc.

That was surprising as I thought the key point was a small footprint. I haven'd dug in, a key point for me would be to create a minimal system, maybe just ethernet, wifi and bluetooth, and make those modular, so maybe just have a version with wifi only.
If I agreed to spend time with someone I absolutely owe them my attention and respect. To pull out a phone in front of them is to disconnect from being present with them. Everyone says they are still listening when a phone or a laptop is in front of them and they are liars. Some notification will pop up and suck them away and it is 5 minutes before the trance snaps. Rather than passively aggressively insult someone I should just admit to myself I am out of social energy for this situation and leave to be alone.

I have had to resort to offering to buy dinner if people turn their phones off because they are so addicted to being constantly connected to every chat, meme, tiktok dance, and facebook political rant.

All the time I see entire friend groups or families sitting around tables at restaurants all on their phones ignoring each other. It is gross.

I am fine always being the person at the table pushing for the exact opposite of that, and maybe we can all tolerate the middle ground.

None of this is exactly rocket surgery, but here’s the gist of what I try to do when I need to refer a client to someone in another market…

Try to understand their business. Every agent should be able to explain their niche within a market and their unique value proposition. This is a straightforward way to separate the professional agent from the “accidental” agent. Speaking candidly, there are a lot of people who fall into the business chasing dollars who have a very limited range of skills. Unfortunately, you can make it in a lot of markets on personality, even if your clients are getting utterly screwed on all the things that actually count, IE: pricing, overall market analysis, negotiating, understanding local regulations (zoning, water, environmental, etc).

Listen to how they describe their market. I was talking to a “top performer” in my market the other day who was still regurgitating the same story from a year ago about “low inventory” when in fact there’s more inventory at every price point than at any time in the past three years. I’m certainly if I had decided to challenge their statements that they would have had no idea how many properties are on the market and that have taken price cuts in the past 30 days. A lot of those top performers are really good at churning deals rather than actually serving their clients. And, they may do a lot of business because they are willing to work for a low commission: if they won’t even fight for their own commission, why should you believe they are going to work hard at the negotiating table for you?

Finally, find someone who communicates with you in the way and at the pace you want. If you find it difficult to talk with them and to express what you need / get the info you need, it’s only going to get worse when you are in the middle of a transaction.

Hope that’s useful!
